Book 3. (53 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
30 81 The Golden Beetles, free within the Nest, forced Sarm, in sheer regard for survival, to turn to humans for help, for humans, particularly in the well-ventilated areas of the Nest, are relatively impervious to the narcotic odor of the Beetle's mane, an odor which is apparently almost utterly overpowe...

31 97 Misk was quite ready, as I was afraid he might not be, to allow humans a voice in affairs of the Nest and, moreover, to arrange for the return to their cities of those humans who did not wish to remain in the Nest.
Details
10
11 30 Impatience, for example, is often indicated by a tremor in the tactile hair on the supporting appendages, as though the creature could not wait to be off; a wandering of attention can be shown by the unconscious movement of the cleaning hooks from behind the third joints of the forelegs, suggesting ...

10
12 10 "It is not necessary to mark a distinction between slave and free within the Nest," said Misk, "for in the Nest all humans are slaves".
Details

12 15 Humans walked here.

13 35 Beneath the scent-dots on each high portal which Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta and I passed there was, perhaps for the benefit of humans or others, a stylized outline picture of a form of creature.

14 117 "Did you know," said Misk once to me, "that humans are among the most intelligent of the lower orders?" "I'm glad to hear it," I said.
Details
10
16 36 "From Sarm's point of view of course your utilization there was simply to curtail the spread of the Empire of Ar, for we prefer humans to dwell in isolated communities.
Details
10
16 84 "We implant humans with a control web and transmitting device.
Details
10
17 110 Accordingly with humans themselves so plentiful the construction of such a device would be nothing but an irrational misuse of our resources".
Details
10
18 6 "It has to do with the Feast of Tola," they said, "and is not the concern of humans".
Details
10
18 90 "The analogy, of course," said Sarm, "is incorrect, for there is no Home Stone as such in the Nest of Priest-Kings, the Home Stone being a barbarous artifact generally common to the cities and homes of Gorean humans".
Details
10
19 72 "It is not a matter of concern for humans," said Sarm.
Details
10
20 190 "See how he uses the instincts of humans against themselves," he said to his companion.
Details
10
25 106 Indeed, as I spied through the grille I saw that not all of the cases were occupied by humans but some by a variety of other organisms, some of the types with which I was familiar in the Nest but others not, and some of the others were, as far as I could tell, even mammals.

27 332 "The egg was taken from the Nest by two humans," she said, "men who were free—like yourself—not Muls—and hidden".

28 51 Priest-Kings do not need light, but humans are handicapped without it".
Details
10
28 55 "There are humans in the Nest who know of these matters," said Al-Ka.
Details
10
28 58 After all, Al-Ka, and other humans of the Nest, with the exception of the Gur Carriers, would never have known darkness.
Details
10
28 162 And so it was that the former Muls, humans, bringing with them the basic food supplies of the Nest, began to flock to the side of the Priest-King Misk and his few cohorts.
Details
10
28 166 When the lights flickered and then burst into clear, vital radiance there was a great cheer from the humans in Misk's camp, with the exception of the Gur Carriers, to whom the energy bulbs were not of great importance.

10
28 167 Intrigued by the hardness of the cage plastic encountered in the Vivarium I spoke to Misk and he and I, together with other Priest-Kings and humans, armored a fleet of transportation disks, which would be extremely effective if a silver tube were mounted in them and which, even if not armed, might y...

10
28 177 Together the humans and the Priest-Kings of Misk made a remarkably effective fighting team.

28 180 Once a brave Priest-King of Misk's forces was slain and the humans who had fought with him wept.
Details
10
29 22 I passed a group of huddled humans, crouched behind the remains of a wall which had been sheared away about two feet from the floor for a length of a hundred feet.
Details
10
29 24 "My fingers," he cried, "my fingers hurt!" One of the humans by the wall, a girl, knelt by him, holding a cloth, trying to stanch the bleeding.

30 35 Kusk, who was a wise Priest-King and perhaps aware of the psychology of humans, turned to Parp.
Details
10
30 54 "It is another superiority of Priest-Kings over humans," he said, his antennae curling.
Details
10
30 78 In the next days the Golden Beetles began, naturally enough in their hunt for food, to drift toward those portions of the Nest occupied by Sarm's Priest-Kings, for in those portions of the Nest they encountered no shouting humans, no jabbing cattle goads.
Details
10
30 80 Oddly enough, to human thinking, neither Misk nor Sarm would permit their humans to slay the Beetles, for Priest-Kings, for a reason which I will later relate, find themselves normally unwilling to slay or order the destruction of the dangerous, fused-winged creatures.
Details
10
30 165 I learned from conversation in the headquarters room that not many of the humans who fought with Misk's forces had responded to the blandishments of Sarm, though some, like Vika of Treve, had deserted to cast their fortune with what appeared to be the winning side.
Details
10
30 166 From what I could gather, only a handful of humans, some men, some women, had actually crossed the lines and taken service with Sarm.
Details
10
30 167 Sarm, one day, brought down from the Halls of the Priest-Kings above, all the humans who were quartered there, mostly Chamber Slaves, to aid his cause.
Details
10
30 192 Apparently Misk's forces were waiting for them, as might have been expected given the superior intelligence afforded by the numerous humans in Misk's camp and the disks were stopped by barricades and withered in the intense fire from nearby rooftops.

10
31 95 The simplest matters had to do with restoring its services and its capacity to sustain both Priest-Kings and humans.
Details
10
31 183 I imagined the panic in the cities of Gor, the pitching ships at sea, the stampedes of animals, and only I, of all humans, was at the place where this havoc had begun, only I was there to gaze upon the author of the destruction of a world, the golden destroyer of a planet.
Details
10
32 15 I swept Vika up and carried her from the trembling chamber and we were accompanied by hurrying Priest-Kings and those humans who had accompanied them.
Details
10
32 28 Misk, carrying Sarm, and the other Priest-Kings and humans, including Vika and myself, made our way from the Power Plant and back toward the complex which had been the heart of Sarm's territory.
Details
10
32 37 We came to the hole where Misk and his fellow Priest-Kings and humans had cut through fallen debris and climbed out through it, finding ourselves in one of the major complexes again.
Details
10
32 38 It was cold and the humans, including myself, shivered in the simple plastic we wore.
Details
10
32 42 Some of the humans with us cried aloud in wonder, for never had they seen the sky.
Details
10
32 57 The Priest-Kings, of course, would not leave the Nest, and, to my surprise, most of the humans, many of whom had been bred in the Nest or now regarded it as their home, insisted also on remaining where they were.
Details
10
32 71 I saw tears in the eyes of humans.
Details
10
32 105 "No," said Kusk, "but you are humans".

32 178 He surveyed the humans gathered about him, the heavy golden hemisphere of the approaching Beetle.
Details
10
33 2 It was a strange but rapid journey, and as we leaped chasms and seemed almost to swim in the cold air I told myself that Misk and his Priest-Kings and the humans that were engineers in the Nest were losing the battle that would decide whether men and Priest-Kings might, working together, save a worl...
Details
10
33 111 Suddenly I was very sad, and I wondered what would be the fate of humans from the Nest, if they should attempt to return to their cities or the world above.
Details
10
33 117 I hoped that those humans who returned from the Nest would not be hunted by Initiates and burned or impaled as heretics and blasphemers.
Details
10
33 120 I supposed many of the humans might even return to the Nest, where they could live and love and be happy.
Details
10
35 36 In the end, those humans who wished to remain on the surface had landed elsewhere, far from their native cities, and scattered themselves as vagabonds about the roads and alien cities of the planet.

35 52 "I shall never understand humans," he said.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 3 Some years before, perhaps between two and five years before, as the culmination of an intrigue enduring centuries, two men, humans from the walled cities of Gor, had, for the sake of Priest-Kings, undertaken a long, secret journey, carrying an object to the Wagon Peoples, an object bestowed on them...
Details
10
2 7 Now I supposed that I alone, of humans on Gor, with the possible exception of some among the Wagon Peoples, knew the nature of the mysterious object which once these two brave men had brought in secrecy to the plains of Turia—and, to be truthful, I did not know that even I—should I see...

7 210 There must be others—others, who did not wish me to succeed in my work, who wished Priest-Kings, the race, to die, others who were capable even of bringing humans from Earth for their purposes—technologically advanced—others who were, perhaps, cautiously, invisibly, at war with ...
Details
10
16 305 The Others—those of power, not Priest-Kings, must, to some extent, understand or sense the politics, the needs and policies of the remote denizens of the Sardar—they were probably not altogether unaware of the business of Priest-Kings, particularly not now, following the recent War of ...

5 299 In the last days, I spoke often with Misk of the difficulties connected with obtaining the last egg of Priest-Kings, in particular informing him that others had wished the egg as well, and had nearly acquired it, others who had had the technology to visit Earth, to seize and utilize humans for their...

10
5 305 "Priest-Kings," said Misk, "unlike humans, are not an aggressive organism.
Details
10
5 331 "Besides," said Misk, "we are not unfond of humans".
Details
10
5 333 "Further," said Misk, "the Others are themselves a not uninteresting species, and we have permitted certain of them, prisoners taken from disabled probe ships, to live on this world, much as we have humans".
Details
10
5 335 "They do not live in the same areas, on the whole, that humans do," said Misk.
Details
10
5 337 "You limit their technology levels just as you do those of humans?" I asked.
Details
10
5 342 "Humans and the Others have much in common," said Misk.

5 374 "Moreover, in line with their schemes, certain humans have been brought to this world".

5 378 "Some information on the Nest War is surely available to them," said Misk, "carried by humans who were permitted to leave the Nest following the War".
Details
10
5 383 "Perhaps they have seized some of these humans," I said, "and interrogated them, finding out if they tell the truth or not, by means of drugs or tortures".
Details
10
5 385 And, we suppose, the Others would suspect that only humans whose brains had been disposed to believe certain things, in virtue of our science, would be permitted to fall into their hands, once again as a move intended to draw them into a trap".

5 398 "It is apparently their intention," said he, "to acquire influence in cities, to win humans to their side, to equip and lead them in war on Priest-Kings".

5 400 "Why should they not use humans to fight their battles?" asked Misk.
Details
10
5 402 "But they would only use humans," I said.

5 404 "Eventually humans would be used only as slaves and feed".

5 408 "On the ships," said Misk, "humans, and certain other organic creatures, are raised for meat".

14 135 Mere humans, they dared not set themselves against Kurii.

15 69 This was the boldest and most fearful probe of the Kurii of the ships, directed toward humans but doubtless, in fact, a testing of the will and nature of Priest-Kings, their true foes.

21 487 A diversion would be ineffective, for what could draw the Kur from his position? If the blood of the slaughtered humans about had not been sufficient to override his obedience to the dark imperatives of the steel worlds, I did not think anything I might contrive could lure him forth.

27 1116 In any event, in putative justification of this decision, if such is required, it seems that he spoke for, and was first amongst, the humans in Mirus's group, which group might also, she supposes, incidentally, be thought of as Kardok's retinue.

Book 28. (299 results) Kur of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
8 166 "We can do with harder countries than humans," said Agamemnon, "with less arable soils, with wastelands, with mountainous areas, with desolate latitudes, arid and rocky, latitudes unfriendly to humans, with deserts, and such, areas of less interest to humans".

21 201 "This is how Kurii want their young to view humans, to understand humans, to think of humans," said Peisistratus.
Details

67 110 He thought of the forest humans, of the men of Peisistratus in the pleasure cylinder, of killer humans, bred for arena games, of the ponderous cattle humans, bred for stupidity and meat.

6 98 "If this project were to be successful," said Cabot, "then the territories and resources of Gor would be shared equally by humans and Kurii, as victorious allies?" "Humans are a lesser life form," said Grendel.

8 65 "Within the Sardar?" "Unfortunately not, but Priest-Kings deal with humans and humans may deal with us".

17 22 The Kurii had not encountered humans in this manner before, for humans had always fled from them.

18 1 The Ledge One supposes that it was foolish of Cabot to return the blonde to the vicinity of the shuttle port, that she not be left to the beasts and humans of the forest, but such activities are not unprecedented amongst humans.

10
18 27 It is an act not uncommon amongst humans, or, indeed, certain other species, but it is not universal even amongst humans.
Details
10
18 199 The greatest danger to her, thought Cabot, would presumably be from the surviving members of the decimated hunting party, or from others who knew of it, for she, the bait girl, had not been used by Kurii to entrap humans, but by humans to entrap Kurii.

10
21 268 Some of these were game humans who had been netted in the sport cylinder, but most were killer humans, bred for savagery, raised for the arena.

24 126 "And do not humans war upon humans?" "Yes," said Cabot.

40 200 "Humans are safe with the revolutionaries," said Lord Grendel, "as they are regarded either as allies or neutral, but those with the purple scarves will destroy all humans on sight".
Details
10
44 36 The humans at the disposal of the rebels were ill-armed, most with sharpened sticks, and many of the killer humans, bred for the arena games, were not only unspeeched, but dangerous to their Kur allies and to one another, as well.
Details
10
44 39 Certainly they had managed to bring humans from the sport cylinder into Agamemnon's cylinder, the main world, and had released, for better or for worse, the killer humans from their cages and training areas.

10
44 44 And, it might be mentioned, though with reluctance, that the protein in the diet of the humans, in particular, in that of the killer humans, was not all derived from the processed edibles confiscated from Kur commissaries.

44 63 "If the humans from the sport cylinder learn the bow, the arena humans will not be far behind".

44 303 Several humans, too, particularly of the forest humans, were now becoming adept with the bow.

55 54 Cabot could see several of the humans, who moved with stealth and agility, very differently from the lethargic, shambling motions of the massive cattle humans, bred for stupidity and meat.

55 71 The twenty, or so, humans, now emerged from the cave, had arrested their advance, and now seemed to be scanning the plain, surveying the herd of cattle humans.

55 189 "Some of the killer humans," said Statius, "seem to be threading their way amongst the cattle humans".

10
55 213 Then Cabot, for the first time, heard the sound which had been noted earlier by Lord Grendel and Statius, and, at almost the same time, saw a small, struggling body in the grasp of one of the cattle humans, and he then heard the sound again, and again, as the small body was lifted and shaken in fury...

63 142 The leader of the cattle humans, blood about his teeth, where he had bitten his prey, was seized in the mighty paws of Lord Grendel, lifted high in the air, and then flung to the earth, this breaking the back and neck of the leader of the cattle humans, who was then, as Lord Grendel had not loosened...

67 40 If there were to be such messages he would have expected them to be, say, warnings to Kur loyalists, even nondominants, to beware of humans, or renegades, or calls to humans, or others, if there were others, to come in and surrender, perhaps to be spared for lowly services, groomings, and such, or, ...

74 50 Lord Arcesilaus sat on a dais, at the head of a hundred tables, with Lord Zarendargar, Lord Grendel, and Statius; and Archon, of the forest humans, and Cestiphon, of the killer humans, sat with them.

1 54 We will, accordingly, refer to that individual with whom we shall begin by that name by which other humans might know him, namely, as Tarl Cabot, or, as some will have it, Bosk, of Port Kar.

1 131 In the north of Gor, in its polar regions, inhabited sparsely by tribes of humans known as the Red Hunters, recognizable by the small blue spot at the base of their spine, it is said that he, this Tarl Cabot, once encountered a great war general of the Kurii, Zarendargar, whose name, for convenience...

10
1 155 Surely small ships, at least, manned by humans, have frequently enough, of late, penetrated the atmosphere of Gor.
Details
10
1 181 Whereas Kurii may own humans, and several do, they do not think of them as "slaves," no more than men of Gor would think of their verr and kaiila as slaves, or those of, say, Earth, would think of their pigs and horses, or cattle, as slaves.

1 293 One supposed it might have been a matter of bartering at an exchange point, between our humans and those of Priest-Kings, for such interactions occasionally occur, however illegitimately; or she may have been taken to the surface by our human allies as, so to speak, negotiable currency, to be there ...

1 318 On the whole, however, this is rare with Gorean humans, who tend to be traditional in such matters and accordingly are inclined to refrain from such practices.

1 420 Sometimes catchers, small Kurii, badly pelted, only four or five hundred pounds in weight, prowled the habitat, searching for loose humans, escaped or strayed, usually to be hamstrung and put back in the barred pens, then unable to walk, unable then to do much more than feed at the troughs, fatten, ...

1 856 It seemed that these two humans, members of her own species, actually communicated with one another, rather as did the Kurii.

1 1057 On the other hand, if they did not know humans that well it seems they did know this particular human, Tarl Cabot.

2 117 "They feed on humans".

10
2 294 Some humans, incidentally, can make out carefully spoken Kur, but they are unable to reproduce the sounds.

10
2 297 With respect to translators more generally, one supposes that the Priest-Kings themselves, whoever or whatever they are, must have such devices in order to communicate with humans, and perhaps, too, with Kurii.

2 316 She is now no more than an unclaimed slave! The closest beast to her, who had put down his head, probably merely to smell her sweat and terror, and the lingering, offensive odors of the container, for most Kurii are less fastidious in such matters than many humans, extended his long, dark tongue and...
Details
10
4 9 Consequently, most communication between humans and Kurii is accomplished by means of translators.

5 37 He was not armed, for humans are not permitted arms in the habitat, save in the areas reserved for them.
Details
10
5 260 They tend to regard humans, on the whole, as food.
Details
10
5 263 Kurii do, of course, recognize that humans may serve several purposes beyond those commonly associated with food, that they may, for example, have uses as workers, pets, confederates, and so on.

10
5 399 It indicated, after all, her particular and enviable specialness, her status, amongst humans in the habitat.

5 415 I wonder if her master knows how this sight might affect male humans, seeing lovely human females so, particularly slaves, not that the blonde was a slave.

6 14 Why? Where is Zarendargar? Who is Agamemnon? What is a Nameless One? What is the Eleventh Face of a Nameless One? How are there humans here? What do you do with them? Who are your confederates? How many have you? How do they figure in your plans? There is purpose in all this, I am sure.
Details
10
6 49 Presumably Kurii would not wish their humans, save, say, their confederates, to be able to speak.
Details
10
6 50 Surely they would prefer for their humans, their pets, their cattle, and such, to remain without speech, to remain simple speechless animals.
Details
10
6 93 "They wish humans as allies?" "Certainly, to abet our projects, to advance against Priest-Kings, to help us, properly armed, to win Gor".
Details
10
6 95 "Is it not better to use humans, a lesser life form, to probe for us, to do war for us, than to risk Kurii?" "Doubtless," said Cabot.
Details
10
6 103 "I have been tested with humans," said Grendel.
Details
10
7 16 Amongst Kurii and humans communication is often difficult, even with translators".
Details
10
8 17 "This is then to impress humans?" "Perhaps," said Peisistratus, "but, too, perhaps it is intended to make them feel less closed in, more at ease".
Details
10
8 122 "Some humans find the appearance of Kurii frightening," said Agamemnon.
Details
10
8 124 "We hoped that Grendel might be acceptable to your species, being taken, in effect, as human, and might well serve us in our relationships with humans, as an intermediary".
Details
10
8 140 "And to labor on behalf of humans, our oppressed brothers," said Agamemnon, "to liberate them from the tyranny of Priest-Kings".
Details
10
8 143 "You would assist humans in winning Gor?" "Arms, direction, such things".
Details
10
8 152 "Gor, I take it," said Cabot, "would be shared equally, its land, its riches, and such, all, equally, between Kurii and humans".
Details
10
8 158 Humans must believe it is their battle, a battle waged to win their own freedom, a struggle to claim what has been denied to them, and is rightfully theirs, Gor".
Details
10
8 163 "And what would take place on this morning of victory?" "Gor would belong not to Priest-Kings," said Agamemnon, "but to humans".
Details
10
8 167 "The division then, even were it equal in extent, would seem much in the interests of humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
10 131 "We do not require the use of humans to forward our projects," said Pyrrhus.
Details
10
11 52 "Some Kurii have difficulty distinguishing amongst humans," said Peisistratus.
Details
10
11 58 "Perhaps it is so, too, with humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
11 255 Humans are cheap".
Details
10
11 280 "And humans?" "Yes".
Details
10
11 283 "They probably wish to see if you will kill humans".
Details
10
11 285 "But, too," he said, "these are unusual humans, and our hirsute friends may be interested to see if they kill you".
Details
10
11 286 "Unusual humans?" "They have been bred to be elusive, dangerous prey animals.
Details
10
11 288 "And if these unusual humans kill me, I would thus be proven a poor choice to abet the schemes of Kurii?" "Yes, and then they could turn to others".
Details
10
12 18 "There are beasts in the forests other than humans," said Pyrrhus.
Details
10
12 19 "And they prey on humans?" "Some," said Pyrrhus, "larls, sleen".
Details
10
12 37 "Yet," said Pyrrhus, "humans have often eaten human".
Details
10
12 52 "You do not approve of the plan of Agamemnon, I gather," said Cabot, "to utilize humans in the conquest of Gor".
Details
10
12 63 He would expend humans, swarming them into the Sardar to exterminate Priest-Kings, thus robbing Kurii of the glory of victory".
Details
10
12 93 "A natural mistake, as humans look much alike to Kurii?" "Yes, and no one would expect to find you here".
Details
10
12 102 "And humans".
Details
10
12 103 "Humans?" "Certainly," said Pyrrhus.
Details
10
13 26 That is not so uncommon amongst humans.
Details
10
15 21 When humans come to investigate her, or claim her, for she is an exquisite female, the Kurii, the hunters, may close in and perhaps annihilate an entire group, or take what they wish, and perhaps ear notch the others, especially the younger ones, and leave them for a later hunt.
Details
10
15 47 The Kurii will expect the humans to run, thought Cabot.
Details
10
16 48 I must distance myself from the humans.
Details
10
16 92 Then, on a fourth try, she managed, sliding and slipping, to attain the surface, but was there seized by one of the humans, who then thrust her back, rolling down the incline, to its bottom.
Details
10
17 4 They looked about for humans.
Details
10
17 5 Surely they had expected to find humans, doubtless fleeing, to be rapidly pursued.
Details
10
17 7 Had there been humans they would have been trapped in the defile.
Details
10
17 19 And about the top of the defile were now better than two dozen humans again hurling stones downward, stones easily the size of a man's head.
Details
10
17 21 Then, in the confusion, several humans, screaming, and carrying their pointed sticks, slid into the defile, and others rushed forward, through the opening.
Details
10
17 23 But the humans were not now fleeing, but attacking, and relentlessly, and viciously, and, moreover, the Kurii were considerably outnumbered.
Details
10
17 24 When one tried to defend itself from a sharpened stick three or four other humans, like sleen hanging on the flanks of a larl, drove their points deep into hairy bodies.
Details
10
17 25 In moments, four Kurii were dead, and there was not one other that was not bloodied, and the six remaining Kurii, snarling, and tearing and biting, and sweeping about them with their spears, broke through the opening, and the massed humans, to the forest beyond.
Details
10
17 26 Cabot signaled that the humans should follow them and continue to attack them.
Details
10
17 30 But this was the first time that this had occurred with humans.
Details
10
17 31 That night humans fed on Kur.
Details
10
17 33 He did return two slaves, Tula and Lana, to Archon, and take his leave of the humans.
Details
10
18 6 Humans are strange.
Details
10
18 37 The general pervasiveness of the conjunction of the lips amongst humans suggests that something more than simple cultural idiosyncrasy may be involved, presumably on a level not immediately accessible to consciousness, a level in which the act is understood as symbolic, and analogous to, and suggest...
Details
10
18 89 She might hope that hunting humans might not look upward.
Details
10
18 114 Might she not be better in a cage, preferably a tiny one, instructive for her, awaiting her sale? He had no hope of eluding sleen indefinitely, and he did not wish to bring humans of the forest into additional jeopardy.
Details
10
18 138 His skins, from the humans of Archon, dampened, and clung to him.
Details
10
18 202 If she had been used in such a fashion once, might she not be used in such a fashion again? Too, perhaps she had collaborated with humans, with intent.
Details
10
18 206 This remark startled Cabot, for he was unused to thinking as Kurii, to whom humans are little different from verr or tabuk.
Details
10
18 238 "Humans do not always run," said Cabot.
Details
10
18 282 This hunter, he supposed, had netted humans before.
Details
10
19 21 It is not known if it was native to Gor or, as many other forms of life, including humans, it was brought to that world by the mysterious Priest-Kings, whoever or whatever they might be.
Details
10
19 50 Indeed, he had reason to believe that humans not only defended themselves from such beasts, as they could, but occasionally hunted them, as well.
Details
10
21 53 "It seems humans and Kurii share drums," said Cabot.
Details
10
21 114 It is sometimes annoying to a Kur that some humans cannot immediately, similarly, distinguish between a Kur male and a Kur female.
Details
10
21 117 Most humans, incidentally, have never seen a Kur womb, either of the shelf or wall type, as they tend to be hidden, and guarded.
Details
10
21 186 "What are they?" "Cattle humans," said Peisistratus.
Details
10
21 202 "They would think otherwise of humans did they meet them in the field of battle," said Cabot.
Details
10
21 267 The beast fights were largely amongst fighting humans, variously armed.
Details
10
21 344 Such an implement would have been difficult for many humans to lift, let alone wield.
Details
10
21 366 Many humans find it remarkable that so large a creature can move with such rapidity.
Details
10
21 575 "The experiment, the outcome of which was Grendel," said Peisistratus, "turned out badly, Grendel failing to be such as to be accepted by humans as a leader.
Details
10
21 584 "It is so, too, with humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
23 149 Rather they would chain you in the barracks, where you might be paired, under Kur supervision, with a succession of killer humans.
Details
10
24 155 "You would decline the offer of Agamemnon, to arm and lead the humans of Earth against the Sardar," said Grendel.
Details
10
25 2 These were such as roamed about, patrolling areas for strayed, or flighted, animals, tarsks, humans, and such.
Details
10
25 6 Too, humans look much alike to most Kurii.
Details
10
26 55 "You have access to the codes to the sport cylinder, and can access the barracks of the killer humans, and the cattle pens".
Details
10
26 58 And the killer humans, speeched and unspeeched, are wild, uncontrollable, dangerous, vicious, undisciplined.
Details
10
26 60 The game humans will be unwilling to leave the shelter of their forests".
Details
10
26 111 "The killer humans are trained with weapons," said Cabot.
Details
10
26 118 "I wonder," said Cabot, regarding Peisistratus narrowly, "if you are one of Agamemnon's humans".
Details
10
26 229 As most humans, and Kurii, favor the right hand, this grasping of hands is a token of respect or friendship, each surrendering, so to speak, the weapon hand to the other.
Details
10
34 21 "It has to do with humans?" asked Cabot.
Details
10
35 123 Humans swarm about, unled, thirsting for blood.
Details
10
35 125 One Kur can destroy with his hands a hundred humans, and one with power weapons can slay thousands".
Details
10
35 135 "What of the cattle humans?" asked Cabot.
Details
10
36 56 "Kurii do not look for nobility and honor from humans," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
36 355 The latter, incidentally, are also edible by certain forms of animal life, sheep, goats, kaiila, humans, and such.
Details
10
37 27 How will Master know these from the minions and cohorts of Lord Agamemnon?" "There must be ensigns of some sort," said Cabot, "arm bands, flags, scarves, something, if only for the benefit of enlisted humans, to discriminate amongst the striving factions".
Details
10
37 28 "All humans would be foes of Lord Agamemnon," she said.
Details
10
38 20 There, scattered about, were several humans.
Details
10
38 21 Some seemed of the game world, others, from their tunicking, were doubtless from the cages of the killer humans.
Details
10
39 101 "They are not my superiors," said Cabot, "and perhaps we have taught them that two humans may be something to be reckoned with".
Details
10
40 198 "'Kill all humans'," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
41 36 "To kill humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
41 55 It might kill ten sleen, or a hundred humans.
Details
10
41 58 "It would indicate, I suppose," said Cabot, "that Lord Agamemnon is concerned with the revolution, that he takes it seriously, truly, and that he recognizes that its humans may pose some threat to his forces, that their opposition is not negligible".
Details
10
42 30 "Perhaps some of the humans can care for them, or herd them to safety".
Details
10
43 6 It was heavy, and perhaps few humans could have raised it, but Cabot, who was strong for a human, with a great effort, threw it back.
Details
10
43 244 "Humans will be killed on sight," said Grendel.
Details
10
43 456 If Agamemnon is successful, humans may yet be permitted to live, and serve, in the world, and I myself will speak on your behalf, to win you pardon for your crime against the world".
Details
10
44 18 "Why waste a world? Only humans might do that".
Details
10
44 19 "Some humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
44 26 * * * * "We have hundreds of humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
44 31 Some beam devices, too, had proved of value, and flares, particularly in assisting humans to detect Kur patrols, Kur marches, the advance of raiding parties, and such.
Details
10
44 40 It must be understood, of course, that the value of humans to the revolution was not as minimal or negligible as the hitherto-noted, disparaging assessment of Lord Grendel might suggest.
Details
10
44 41 For example, dozens of humans, armed with their stones and pointed sticks, suddenly swarming upon isolated Kurii were something seriously to be reckoned with.
Details
10
44 48 Here and there, there were small herds of cattle humans about, rooting in abandoned gardens, gathering up fallen fruit, scavenging on the dead.
Details
10
44 57 The cattle humans were largely ignored by the warring parties, save as the loyalists might occasionally cull the herds for meat.
Details
10
44 59 "Do you think it wise?" asked Lord Grendel, "to teach the bow to the forest people?" "Yes," said Cabot, "but perhaps not to the killer humans".
Details
10
44 62 "The killer humans are not stupid," said Grendel.
Details
10
44 65 "Of the cattle humans," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
44 302 Humans provided much intelligence to the insurrectionists, and even major power weapons are ineffectual in the absence of targets.
Details
10
45 84 "Outside," said the Lady Bina, "I saw some cattle humans.
Details
10
46 1 Darkness Encroaches; A Plan is Formed In Lord Grendel's small group, one of several, there were some forty Kurii and some twenty to thirty humans.
Details
10
47 18 In this way, they might communicate the better amongst themselves, and with other humans.
Details
10
47 22 Humans were lighter, and smaller, than Kurii, and better adapted to this venture than would have been their larger, heavier, allies.
Details
10
47 25 It must be possible, somehow! Agamemnon, Cabot was sure, in the dark gaming of war, had not anticipated humans intruding into this fearsome venue.
Details
10
48 11 Lord Grendel's group was now small, consisting of some dozen Kurii, and some seven humans.
Details
10
49 26 "We have had foragers in this area, humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
50 74 Behind him straggled a dozen or more humans, some helmeted, all garmented in cloth.
Details
10
50 80 The other humans entered the camp, haggard, pale, filthy, with torn clothing, some bloodied, and bandaged, two supported by their fellows.
Details
10
50 89 In it must have been two thousand, or more, Kurii, humans".
Details
10
51 2 Peisistratus had been left in charge of the humans in the camp of Lord Grendel's band, and Statius, who had once been no more than a despised nondominant, had been deputized to command the Kurii of the camp, and, as he was Kur, was sovereign in the camp.
Details
10
51 4 Many of the humans had now accustomed themselves to the bow, of one strength or another, but there was a considerable shortage of suitable headings for these missiles, many now being merely sharpened sticks, fletched.
Details
10
53 11 Archon, once of the forest humans, cried out with pleasure.
Details
10
53 96 They had been fired on, twice, by Kur patrols, but had managed to elude them, once by taking refuge within a shambling herd of cattle humans, and once by slipping into an area within which it was unlikely, in any event, that power weapons would be employed.
Details
10
53 106 "Killer humans," had said Lord Grendel.

53 107 Killer humans, as it might be recalled, were bred by Kurii for arena sports, and bred for energy, agility, and aggression.
Details
10
53 145 "Many humans," said Lord Grendel, "particularly at first, have difficulty telling the Kur male from the Kur female.
Details
10
53 261 "Killer humans have been in the vicinity.
Details
10
54 1 There is Converse in a Rebel Camp "Dear Cabot," said Statius, "I find the actions of humans mysterious.
Details
10
54 3 "You may find this incomprehensible, dear friend," said Cabot, "but humans, in their turn, do not always understand the doings of Kurii".
Details
10
54 68 "But it had occurred to me that you, though human, stand high in the camp, perhaps highest amongst the humans, save for dear Peisistratus, and that I, though Kur, am lowly, and no more than a scout".
Details
10
55 42 "Cattle humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
55 47 "Humans".
Details
10
55 52 "Killer humans," said Cabot.
Details
10
55 55 As Cabot watched, he saw more and more of the humans emerging from the tunnel.
Details
10
55 64 "Perhaps they are hunting cattle humans," said Statius.
Details
10
55 78 "They are the females of killer humans".
Details
10
55 155 "But, surely," said Statius, "they will not be cruelly roped, as are the cowering properties below, those of the killer humans".
Details
10
55 194 In the pens the cattle humans were reproduced by means of artificial insemination".
Details
10
55 195 Suddenly Lord Grendel's ears lifted, and he turned to the field, and he began to gaze intently toward the mingled cattle humans, and he began to tremble, uncontrollably.
Details
10
55 203 Cabot shaded his eyes, and narrowed them, but he saw little other than the grass, the cliffs and rocks behind it, the massed cattle, forward, in the plain, and two, only two, killer humans beginning to move through the herd, slowly, deliberately, watchfully, thrusting or striking one beast or anothe...
Details
10
55 211 Cabot then heard a cry from below, from one of the killer humans, who now pointed toward a portion of the herd, rather where the stirring had been remarked.
Details
10
55 218 The two killer humans were not unaware of his arrival, and they, exchanging cries, something between speech and signals, ceased to prosecute their passage through the herd, and made their way back, almost as though through chest-high water, to the company of their colleagues, nearer the exit of the ...
Details
10
55 220 Lord Grendel was then between the fleeing figure and the herd, and, farther back, the killer humans.
Details
10
55 225 The killer humans, on the far side of the herd, had now congregated together, and were regarding Lord Grendel, who roared once more.
Details
10
55 228 Whereas the killer humans might, or might not, have surprised and attacked a single, preferably unarmed Kur, it was a different matter altogether to attack two who were aware, ready, and aroused.
Details
10
55 231 Accordingly, the killer humans brought their neck-roped females to their feet, placed themselves between the females and the herd, and Lord Grendel, Cabot, and Statius, and, with a few cries and strokes of their sticks, herded them away, withdrawing behind them, with an occasional vigilant glance ca...
Details
10
55 268 "It seems clear," said Lord Grendel, "that she was in hiding, for some reason, and perhaps for some time, and was then discovered and flushed out of concealment by the killer humans".
Details
10
55 271 "She sought refuge amongst the cattle humans," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
55 273 "Her act, I suspect," said Cabot, "was one less of courage than of terror, of sudden and thoughtless desperation, an irrational flight at any cost to escape capture by the killer humans".
Details
10
55 274 "It is true," said Lord Grendel, "that we had attempted to assure her of the harmlessness of cattle humans".
Details
10
55 277 Some cattle humans in any event now arm themselves, however primitively, and attack others, and encroach on the feeding territories of others, and so on.
Details
10
56 70 In this way his folk may function effectively, directing their fire efficiently, and our humans will be essentially helpless, effectively neutralized".
Details
10
56 108 Even the humans could see.
Details
10
56 112 It spoke in Kur, but those humans with translators, as Cabot, had no difficulty in following it.
Details
10
56 154 Here and there, on one side or the other, some Kurii, and some humans, perhaps some twenty or thirty, emerged from the trenches and, weaponless, arms lifted in surrender, began to climb upward, toward the perimeters of the vale.
Details
10
56 158 The light then began to dim, and soon, again, Cabot, and other humans, found themselves in practical darkness, save for some fires on the slopes, brief, soon-extinguished fires, marking places where the grass, here and there, in half circles of some yards, had been ignited by sheets of blazing, disc...
Details
10
56 186 "Rise from the trenches, attack, attack, Kur brothers!" called Lord Grendel, and his cries were echoed, from trench to trench, and coursed down the lengths of trenches, and Cabot, and the humans, confused, bewildered, were aware of mighty bodies, howling with cries of war, scrambling out of the tren...
Details
10
56 188 Cabot, and other humans, wonderingly, slowly emerged from the trenches, to thread their way through soft, furrowed earth, soaked with blood, through seared grass and lost weapons, amongst fallen, scattered bodies, contorted and awry, some blackened by fire, others dismembered.
Details
10
57 5 His Corinna was eagerly heeling him, Statius' female hurried forth, to kneel at his feet, rubbing her head against his leg, and other slaves crowded about, kneeling, weeping with joy, and the seven or eight humans and Kurii who had been commanded, to their sorrow, to stay within the camp, to protect...
Details
10
57 157 "Doubtless, by now, she has perished of exposure, or starved, or fallen to wild animals, or has been killed by Agamemnon's Kurii, for they had orders to fire on all humans".
Details
10
60 38 "Humans will be killed, surely," said Peisistratus.
Details
10
61 28 "This war of which you speak was between humans?" said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
61 56 "Our humans will be at a serious disadvantage in the night," said Statius.
Details
10
61 154 Moments later Lord Grendel pressed through a circle of Kurii and humans, and discovered the Lady Bina on her back.
Details
10
61 188 There was a murmur of assent to this from the Kurii about, and from the humans, as well, which response Cabot could well understand.
Details
10
61 219 Several of the Kurii exchanged uneasy glances, and the humans, too, looked to one another, apprehensively.
Details
10
61 220 "Return to your duties," said Lord Grendel to the Kurii and humans about.
Details
10
61 234 "You must not think too badly of Cestiphon, and other male humans," said Cabot, "for such a female is like delicious food to a starving man.
Details
10
62 35 "You are more important than you know," said Flavion, "with humans, with Kurii.
Details
10
63 57 And why would humans free her, unless they could have her for their own? But there is nowhere to keep her, or hide her".
Details
10
63 93 "Down there," said a Kur, "in midst of the cattle humans".
Details
10
63 117 "Do not follow him! Remain here!" Concealed amongst the cattle humans were somewhere between twenty and twenty-five Kurii, these picked minions of the elite of Lord Agamemnon's forces, each armed with a power weapon.
Details
10
63 120 In any event, shortly after Lord Grendel entered the herd, two Kurii rose up from amongst the cattle humans and fired.
Details
10
63 122 The head of one of the cattle humans was burned away but inches from the chest of Lord Grendel, and another cattle human's chest was burned through, in such a way that a portion of Lord Grendel's harness was blackened, and hair singed from his shoulder.
Details
10
63 123 Lord Grendel then took cover amongst the cattle humans, precisely as had his foes.
Details
10
63 124 Had Lord Grendel not been overwrought, or had he been less concerned with the safety of the Lady Bina, he might have chosen to remain within the safety of his lines and allowed her to perish as she might, and would, at the hands of the cattle humans.
Details
10
63 125 The leader of the cattle humans, of course, was not privy to the machinations of Agamemnon's minions, nor would he have understood their concerns even had they attempted to explain them to him.
Details
10
63 127 The other Kurii then rose, too, weapons readied, from amongst the cattle humans, their heads now clearly visible amongst those of the unkempt, lumbering, shambling, obese, bovine herd.
Details
10
63 137 Lord Grendel, unwisely, began to thrust cattle human after cattle human from his path, hastening to the relief of the Lady Bina, who was in the midst of several cattle humans squealing and stamping about her, some with stones, and others with sharpened sticks.
Details
10
63 141 The blow did not fall because the club was torn from his grasp and then Lord Grendel, the massive club in his hands, began to strike about him, and the cattle humans fled back before these blows, limping, arms dangling, faces a mass of bones and blood.
Details
10
63 143 Meanwhile, the two foremost of the Kurii of Agamemnon, these first through the cattle humans, intent on their target, and now having isolated it, leveled their weapons.
Details
10
63 161 With Statius and Archon were more than a dozen Kurii and humans, armed with power weapons.
Details
10
63 163 He stood there, in the field, silent, in the grass, amongst bodies, those of cattle humans and Kurii, holding her.
Details
10
64 6 But the habitats were quiet, and the field below was largely deserted, save for some cattle humans who had drifted back, to scavenge.
Details
10
64 69 "What could they do to her now that she would not welcome?" It would be injudicious, and certainly unnecessary, in a reportorial narrative of this sort, to delineate in any detail the terrible moments which were spent by the Lady Bina in the clutches of the cattle humans.
Details
10
64 88 Nor did she understand the nature of the cattle humans through which she was to make her way, identified in her tiara, to the lines of Agamemnon, of whose shelter, contrition, gratitude, and affection she had been assured by Flavion.
Details
10
64 91 Greed for significance, importance, power, and wealth is a motivation to which many humans are susceptible, and we must, in all honesty, acknowledge that it is one to which some Kurii, perhaps surprisingly, are not immune.
Details
10
64 110 She had then been taken into the forests and released, to be hunted down by, and devoured by, one or another of the sleen which had been released into the world to prey on humans.
Details
10
64 111 There were fewer such sleen, however, than Agamemnon realized, as traps had been set, one of which, we may recall, had snared the giant sleen, Ramar, and, too, humans, and their Kurii, had often defended themselves with vigor, often killing the animals, or, if their scent had not been taken, driving...
Details
10
64 113 She had been noted by killer humans, and was fleeing them, when she was apprehended by Lord Grendel, Statius, and the human, Tarl Cabot, which party brought her back, a prisoner, to the camp.
Details
10
64 121 * * * * There were four females on the personal neck rope of Cestiphon, all women of killer humans.
Details
10
64 122 These were Cestiphon's own women, as opposed to the women held in common by his group of killer humans.
Details
10
64 129 One of the women of the killer humans sprang to her feet and snatched at the sheet but the small figure hastily, frightened, drew back.
Details
10
64 130 But the other women of the killer humans, on the rope, had sprung up, and encircled her.
Details
10
64 132 Beneath the sheet she had been as naked as the women of the killer humans.
Details
10
64 133 The killer humans keep their women naked.
Details
10
64 135 One supposes the hostility of these women of killer humans was the natural hostility of one type of female toward another, say, one of a certain race, breed or group to that of another race, breed, or group, or perhaps it was something like that of the glorious free woman toward the degraded, vulner...

64 146 "Master!" The killer humans, this group, were scarcely speeched, but the word for a male, any male, was "Master".
Details
10
64 149 He glowered at the neck-roped women of the killer humans.
Details
10
64 203 To the insurrection's humans its potency was not evident.
Details
10
65 16 "Surely humans have died for leaders, as well as causes," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
65 19 "Have humans not chosen to die for friends, for brothers, even for slaves?" asked a Kur.
Details
10
65 31 "Humans are not involved in this".
Details
10
65 51 "Surely, Lord Grendel," said Cabot, "you will not betray humans, and the Lady Bina amongst them, to the vengeance of the minions of Lord Agamemnon".
Details
10
65 53 "Humans will continue to resist," said Cabot.
Details
10
65 54 "The winter can be brought," said Lord Grendel, "and humans will be immobilized, perhaps frozen, in temperatures which, to Kurii, are merely severe".
Details
10
65 69 Some small groups of cattle humans moved slowly from their path.
Details
10
66 6 "I have given permission for the humans to withdraw".
Details
10
66 22 "Let us suppose the way of Kur is not changed, that this lethal pact, so peculiar and incomprehensible to mere humans, is to be brought to effectuation".
Details
10
66 67 "I have ordered several of our humans to withdraw, searching for warmth".
Details
10
66 71 It is a common practice of humans to care for their domestic animals, taking, say, bosk, kaiila, verr, and such to better pastures, more temperate climes, and such.
Details
10
66 99 "I see no cattle humans below," said Cabot, half shutting his eyes against the snow, the swirling wind, the pelting of bits of ice.
Details
10
66 104 "Perhaps they would do so if the ramparts were held by humans, half blinded, scarcely able to move, but we have many of our folk here, well armed, strung along the ramparts.
Details
10
67 15 Humans, whose ways were surely not the ways of Kur, left the camp, to seek what shelters, what concealments, they might.
Details
10
67 32 The weather, for humans, was still bitterly cold.
Details
10
67 137 Similarly, animals who happened to find the taste disagreeable, say, in the case of humans, offensively bitter, would survive.
Details
10
68 33 Have we met?" "Doubtless we look much alike to humans," said one of the Kurii.
Details
10
70 70 "Open the trap! Help me! I am caught!" "We lost track of you, after the escape of the Lady Bina, and the business of the cattle humans, the killing squad, and such".
Details
10
73 48 "What of the cattle humans?" asked Cabot.
Details
10
74 35 More than once raucous killer humans had to be separated, flung from one another.
Details
10
74 47 Cabot preferred the human females, hurrying about, serving both humans and Kurii.
Details
10
74 60 The humans were well pleased.
Details
10
77 142 "That cast was flung to a wall by a drunken rowdy, to test the balance of a throwing blade, offered to him by another rowdy, another drunken ruffian, for a coin, both killer humans.
Details
10
77 145 Killer humans, successful in the arena, were awarded coins, with which they might purchase women, commonly penned naked within their view, prizes awaiting the victorious.
Details
10
77 148 The killer humans, then, had this additional difference, or advantage, that they might, out of a pool of women, buy she who might most please them.
Details
10
77 154 The women of the killer humans, it might be noted, were not expended in the arena, nor trained in any form of combat or weaponry.
Details
10
77 158 It maybe recalled that Cestiphon, the leader of his group of killer humans, had four such women.
Details
10
77 159 The killer humans, now, of course, the males, were no longer arena animals matched for the sport of Kurii.
Details
10
77 166 In time Cabot did not doubt but what many of the women of the killer humans, who were very lovely, would be indistinguishable on a slaver's necklace from their hitherto more-civilized sisters.
Details
10
77 167 After the loosing of the killer humans in the revolution coins would be of less import as the women might then, man against man, or group against group, be fought for openly.
Details
10
77 170 Coins, of course, were not now unknown, either, amongst the killer humans.
Details
10
80 21 The palace grounds themselves were within high walls, but the great gate was now opened, and humans, and Kurii, might come and go within the grounds, and gardens, as they wished.

80 250 She was, again, then, as she had been in the container, in the collar of Lord Arcesilaus, when she was his pet, as she had been elsewhere, in the game world, in the camps, as she had been in many places, before her encounter with the lumbering, bestial cattle humans.
