3	91	Why should there be so many rence islands in the same vicinity, even though it was near the first of Se'Kara? Surely the capture of one traveler in the delta did not warrant this attention, and, of course, the islands must have been gathered together even before I had entered the area.	10
10	212	My four commercial voyages had been among the exchange islands, or free islands, in Thassa, administered as free ports by members of the Merchants.	10
2	8	The birds are later, on the rence islands, killed and cooked.	10
3	1	Ho-Hak The rence islands, on which the communities of rence growers dwell, are rather small, seldom more than two hundred by two hundred and fifty feet.	10
3	76	There were several reasonably important looking individuals gathered about, and, as it turned out, these were headmen from various other rence islands in the vicinity.	10
3	78	The men from several of these islands had cooperated in my pursuit and capture.	10
3	83	The first of Se'Var is also a date of festival, it might be mentioned, but this time the festival is limited to individual, isolated rence islands.	10
3	86	The unsold stores of rence paper on the islands at this time would, in themselves, be a treasure, though, to be sure, a bulky one.	10
3	88	It is seldom, even in Se'Kara, that so many rence islands would gather for festival.	10
3	90	At such times there is drinking of rence beer, steeped, boiled and fermented from crushed seeds and the whitish pith of the plant; singing; games; contests and courtship, for the young people of the rence islands too seldom meet those of the other communities.	10
3	96	I wondered what in particular there might be to spy about on the rence islands.	10
4	74	It would not be hard for the men of the rence islands, in their hundreds, to cut off escape, to find me, if the tharlarion did not manage to do so first.	10
4	123	"How is it," I asked, "that so many of the rence islands are now gathered together?" I had wondered about this.	10
4	125	Indeed, I knew that tomorrow was festival for the rence islands.	10
4	130	"Ho-Hak," said she, "has called the nearby islands to a council".	10
4	140	"It would be useful to have similar standards for rence paper, to sometimes harvest in common, to sometimes, in times of need, share crops, and, of course, to obtain a better price for our paper than we might if we bargained as isolated islands with the rence merchants".	10
4	144	"Perhaps also," I suggested, "in uniting the islands there might be some measure of protection gained from the officials of Port Kar".	10
4	150	"It would doubtless be desirable, from the point of view of the rence islands," I suggested, "if they should, in certain matters, act in unanimity".	10
4	158	How is it that a girl of the rence islands has such an armlet?" "You may not speak," she said, irritably.	10
5	65	In the early morning the other rence islands, four of them, which had been tethered close by, were poled to the one on which I was kept, and now, joined by flat rence rafts, acting as bridges, they had been tied to one another, now forming, for most practical purposes, a large single island.	10
5	66	I had been used in the fastening of the bridges, and in the drawing up and tying of rence craft on the shore, as other rencers, from distant islands, arrived for festival.	10
5	67	I had also been used to carry heavy kettles of rence beer from the various islands to the place of feasting, as well as strings of water gourds, poles of fish, plucked gants, slaughtered tarsks, and baskets of the pith of rence.	10
5	179	It is often lonely on the rence islands, and festival comes but once a year.	10
6	193	One of the rence islands, tied in the group, had begun to burn.	10
6	225	I heaped more rence on the craft and then, with one foot, thrust off from the islands between which the raft had been fastened.	10
6	231	Unnoticed, the raft, with its heaped rence, drifted away from between the islands.	10
7	1	I Will Hunt Lost among the rushes and sedge, out in the darkness of the marsh, some hundred yards from the rence islands, two of which were burning, Telima, bound, and I, a garland of rence flowers bloodied in my hair, watched the movement of torches, listened to the shouts of men, the screams of wo...	10
7	2	The men of Port Kar had set fire to the two islands, beginning at the farther edges, to drive any who might be concealed on them, perhaps having cut burrows into the rence or hiding in the center oar wells, across the bridges toward the central island, on which had been the pole of the dance, Telima...	10
7	5	Then the tetherings on the two burning islands were cut away with swords and they floated away, free, afire into the marsh.	10
7	6	Later, about an Ahn before dawn, the two other rence islands, tethered to the central island, were similarly set afire, their fugitives, too, being driven to the nets and binding fiber of the men of Port Kar.	10
7	7	Then these two islands, too, were cut free and floated burning into the marsh.	10
7	11	I gathered that much rence paper had been taken from the four islands, before they had been set afire.	10
8	215	The slaves from the rence islands, lying between the rowers' benches, like fish, bound hand and foot, had their heads to the stern of the vessel.	10
8	741	I gathered that she had regarded herself as the beauty of the rence islands.	10
9	147	There were the northern islands, of course, and they were numerous, but small, extending in an archipelago like a scimitar northeastward from Cos, which lay some four hundred pasangs west of Port Kar.	10
9	148	But these islands were not united, and, indeed, the government of them was usually no more than a village council.	10
9	284	He had purchased the net in the morning, with a trident, the traditional weapons of the fisherman of the western shore and the western islands.	10
9	351	Further, I gathered, on the islands, Telima, with her beauty, her skills and arrogance, had not been popular, and it pleased them no little that she should be, in effect, slave for them as well as their masters.	10
9	465	I wondered how she had, whether in her escape or afterwards in the islands, removed her first collar.	10
10	49	He was the one who had come to the rence islands, who had had upon his helmet the two golden slashes.	10
10	213	There were several such islands.	10
10	214	Three, which I encountered frequently in my voyages, were Teletus, and, south of it, Tabor, named for the drum, which it resembles, and, to the north, among the northern islands, Scagnar.	10
10	217	These islands, with occasional free ports on the coast, north and south of the Gorean equator, such as Lydius and Helmutsport, and Schendi and Bazi, make possible the commerce between Cos and Tyros, and the mainland, and its cities, such as Ko-ro-ba, Thentis, Tor, Ar, Turia, and many others.	10
11	573	"Antisthenes is wise," I said, "and understands the risks involved, but many of the words Samos has addressed to us seem to me sound and true, and chief among them his assertion that it should be a captain who conducts this mission, for how else could we so easily prove the seriousness of our intent...	10

1	291	So, too, are some of the folks in the more northern islands, interestingly, such as Hunjer and Skjern, west of Torvaldsland.	10
6	39	They inhabit rence islands, huge floating rafts of woven rence.	10

19	1770	"Probably," I said, "like many women of Ar, and Ar's Station, you would be shipped overseas to Cos or Tyros, or another of the islands".	10
27	349	Perhaps when you were a free woman, that is, not yet a captive, in your barge, on the islands, and such, in your robes of concealment, you often wished you might go about stripped, or, say, in slave strips, that sort of thing, surely, at least, barefoot in the scanty garments of a female rencer".	10

5	296	There were, of course, some islands beyond Tyros and Cos, some smaller islands, spoken of, commonly, as the Farther Islands.	10
5	1110	There was little, as far as we knew, beyond Tyros and Cos, some small islands, of course, usually spoken of as the Farther Islands, but nothing else, lest it be the World's End, the edge of the sea, supposedly the plunge into the abyss, nothing.	10
2	291	Many of her women are led naked in coffles, to Brundisium, to be put on slave ships bound for Tyros, Cos, and the islands.	10
5	297	I supposed, thus, that the "mariner," if he were a mariner, must be from one of the Farther Islands.	10
5	298	I was personally unaware of any who had sailed beyond those islands, and returned.	10
5	938	"The regulars of Tyros and Cos, and their officers and slaves, were soon embarked, and gladly, with songs of joy, for their home islands, but it fared differently with many of us, the gathered mercenaries who had served the island ubarates".	10

5	1111	Few ships, as far as I knew, had ventured west of the Farther Islands, and of those, as far as I knew, none had returned.	10
14	106	That these men of the Pani, such as Lord Nishida and Tajima, and their fellows, so unusual to continental Gor, or even the western islands, should be here, whether in Brundisium to the south, or here in the northern forests, was to me, at the time, inexplicable.	10
25	194	I did not suppose that the world ended a bit beyond the waters of Tyros and Cos, or beyond the Farther Islands, even far beyond them, that at some point, some brink, Thassa plunged a thousand pasangs downward, like a planetary waterfall, only to be lifted by fiery Tor-tu-Gor, Light Upon the Home Sto...	10

38	348	And who might the foe be, if not the sea? How long was this voyage to be? Such stores would suffice to carry one beyond Cos and Tyros, and beyond these, the farthest of the western islands.	10

2	117	Our common concern, or prey, were small boats, with a crew of four or five, tiny merchantmen, or smugglers, if you like, hoping to run the blockade to the farther islands.	10
3	20	Several were clearly those of the islands, though some were more akin to those of the continent.	10
3	22	I had feared that my captors might have been of cities hostile to Cos and Tyros, but now, as the accents of all, those of the islands and the continent, seemed those of free men, and lacked the softness, deference, and submissiveness of slaves, I gathered that my captors were of diverse origins.	10

4	113	"You are hence to the farther islands?" I asked.	10
4	118	"None return from beyond the farther islands," I said.	10
4	173	A galley of Tyros was to rendezvous with us, but that was days ago, and, if you are sailing to the farther islands, much to the east.	10
5	369	Legends of the mad, half-blind shipwright, Tersites, I did not doubt, had reached even the farther islands.	10

9	45	I knew little of tarns, the control of such monsters, their dispositions and habits, their ranges of flight, and such, but it seemed improbable, given our conjectured position, so far west of even the farther islands, that one might reach land, say, Torvaldsland, before the tarn might, even with the...	10

16	222	Too, for those who are familiar with these islands, it makes clear that a given island is spoken for, that it is claimed".	10
16	223	"How long do living islands live?" I asked.	10
16	247	"They locate fishing grounds and bring their islands to them.	10
16	271	"The islands do not even know that men exist," she said.	10
17	41	It seemed, however, that they were less esteemed on the Farther Islands.	10
17	422	"Have you heard of the Fair of the Farther Islands?" I asked.	10
17	429	"Men attend the fair from all the islands," she said.	10
18	145	"Have you been to a Fair of the Farther Islands?" he asked.	10
18	160	"Thousands come, in hundreds of crowded ships and small boats, from throughout the islands," said Sakim, "and then they are gone".	10
18	170	"It is said that Cos is the loving mother of the islands".	10
18	172	"This year," said Sakim, "Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, is expected to be in attendance".	10
18	177	"I think it is in connection with his office as Admiral, assigned by Cos to guard the seas of the Farther Islands.	10
19	8	Few blades in the islands can divide a loose, falling, unresisting net.	10
19	76	It is quite another thing, however, given the accents involved, to try to pass oneself off as an Eiron of Naxos when one's accent is not only not that of Naxos, a town on Daphna, but would be unusual in the Farther Islands themselves, where accents tended to be much like those of Cos and Tyros.	10
19	173	We knew that the bow had been prohibited to the Peasantry of the islands by Cosian law.	10
19	194	"Who would most wish the villages and towns of the Farther Islands to be defenseless?" I asked.	10
19	209	"It is unfortunate," said Thurnock, "that Nicomachos, Admiral of the Farther Islands, contrary to announcements and expectations, is not in attendance at the fair".	10
20	55	Much of the news in the Farther Islands is carried afoot, in the packs of peddlers, so to speak.	10
20	105	"He knows little, and cares less, about the Farther Islands, save what he can tax and what his officers can steal for him".	10
20	108	Could such words have been spoken? Should they not have been spoken long ago? As I may have suggested, Cos is little loved by many in the Islands.	10
21	1	I Visit with Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands.	10
21	2	"I know you," said Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, rising, angrily.	10
21	32	I represent a consortium of merchants in Brundisium, concerned with the safety of the seas between Cos and the Farther Islands".	10
21	35	"I fear the governor is less quick than the Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands".	10
21	36	"He is a larcenous bureaucrat, crude and without subtlety," said Nicomachos, "well posted to the Farther Islands".	10
21	39	"Rumors suggest," I said, "that even you, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, sometimes accrue profits in wily ways".	10
21	82	Did not the fleet of the Farther Islands seem inert much of the time, and had not its searches for the raiders proved invariably futile? Few thieves arrest themselves.	10
21	118	Such a hair color is unusual in the Farther Islands.	10
21	122	I had no idea what she would cost in the Islands, but in Brundisium or Ar I would suppose as much as two silver tarsks.	10
21	156	Too, could I really suppose that the Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, the First Captain of Sybaris, High Officer of Cos, could not tell the difference between a decent wine and a ka-la-na worthy at best to fortify common kal-da?" I then took both goblets and emptied them into the dirt fl...	10
22	71	"Vessels of the Fleet of the Farther Islands?" I said.	10
22	79	It seemed incredible that he would attend to such seemingly trivial matters as abetting corsairs afflicting the Farther Islands.	10
22	164	There are few things which may not be purchased somewhere in that city of tents which constituted the vast, transitory metropolis of a Fair of the Farther Islands.	10
23	6	We had posted agents, in guises such as that of peddlers and itinerant workers, in several of the larger towns of the Farther Islands.	10
23	7	In this way, though news traveled slowly to us, we were probably better informed, on the whole, than any single town in the Islands, including Sybaris, or Sybaris not counting the precincts of The Living Island.	10
23	56	"I seek one called Aktis," he said, "who, I understand, spoke of unsettling matters at the Fair of the Farther Islands".	10
23	81	"Before the Fair of the Farther Islands," said Xanthos, "the village of Seleukos was amongst the richest villages on Thera".	10
25	16	To my disappointment, the islands' Peasantry had not responded, stirred by Aktis' pleadings, flooding to the ruins of Nicosia to organize for a common, redoubtable defense of their lives, property, and land.	10
27	57	"Why should Cos support corsairs who ravage the Farther Islands, from which tax revenues are derived?" asked Clitus.	10
29	16	Several, aside from the 'Three Ubaras', were present, primarily ships' officers, and others associated in one way or another with our enterprise amongst the Farther Islands.	10
29	172	"I decided, some days ago," I said, "after a certain incident at the Fair of the Farther Islands, that it was dangerous to keep the original contents of such a bottle about.	10
33	1	The Parley "You are, I take it," I said, "the dreaded Bosk of Port Kar, come from that port known to many as the Scourge of Thassa, that Bosk of Port Kar come to mercilessly pillage and plunder the innocent, peace-loving Farther Islands of Thassa, Thera, Chios, and Daphna?" "I am indeed he, Bosk, o...	10
33	34	"The Islands are weary of the depredations of pirates, the oppressions, economic and military, legal and illegal, of violent, savage Cos.	10
33	63	Consider the value of a mighty alliance between you, the Peasantry of the Farther Islands, and the sea-scouring navies of Port Kar, the Jewel of Gleaming Thassa".	10
34	16	A provincial governor might well be corrupt, even to the extent of supporting and protecting raiders, but the elaborate hoax of identifying the raiders as the minions of a foe from faraway, of whom many in the Farther Islands might well have never heard suggested a darker, higher politics.	10
34	21	"That we do not know," I said, "perhaps it is Nicomachos, First Captain of Sybaris, a High Officer of Cos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands".	10
35	32	Tales of a merciless Peasant army, one spread amongst the islands, circulate in the taverns.	10
35	51	If the islands rise, Cos would be swept from their shores.	10
35	52	It would be her best policy to overlook certain modest infractions of her self-seeking laws, such as denying the means of effective self-defense to subject populations to better rule them, and keep peace in the islands.	10
35	58	"The village of Seleukos is being rebuilt, and the living island, the Isle of Seleukos, moves amongst living islands which have spied for the raiders or abetted them in some way".	10
35	62	"The cooperation of such islands with the corsairs, surely enemies, had always been founded on fear, that if they refused to cooperate, their villages would be destroyed.	10
35	66	"Too," I said, "those on the living islands could always simply neglect reporting sightings, and such".	10
35	68	"Many islands were posted with a partisan of the pirates".	10
35	71	"It seems then," I said, "that the living islands need no longer supply services to corsairs".	10
35	73	"I expect," I said, "that bows will sooner or later reach the living islands".	10
35	87	"The islands are commonly guided by, and moved by, gentle means," said Sakim, "say, noise, which it finds aversive, light taps on its body, a soft thrusting against its bulk, and such".	10
35	124	First, it is fully enleagued with the corsairs, unlike other living islands.	10
35	125	Thus it could police and threaten other islands, ensuring their cooperation.	10
36	126	Both Archelaos, governor of Thera, and Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, are patrons.	10
36	203	"That is a town on Chios," said Margot, "where this year's Fair of the Farther Islands was held".	10
37	52	There are two harbors at the port of Sybaris, the great harbor, serving the city, and much of Thera, and the smaller harbor, the naval harbor, base of the vessels of the Fleet of the Farther Islands.	10
37	53	From where we were, we could look across the harbor and see the low wall behind which several ships of the Fleet of the Farther Islands lay at anchor.	10
38	6	Here he is only the commander of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, of only some twenty heavy vessels, and a miscellany of minor vessels.	10
39	1	I Fail to Contact Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands "Away, be off, both of you," said the officer of the guard.	10
39	7	We were at the high, heavily barred gate to the Cosian naval base on Thera, the base of the Fleet of the Farther Islands.	10
40	29	"I do not think your crews are of the Fleet of the Farther Islands".	10
41	16	The machinery had most likely been put together somewhere on the Farther Islands.	10
41	49	That color was seldom seen on the Farther Islands.	10
41	145	I do not even think you are of the Farther Islands.	10
50	54	"Living islands, as sluggish as they may seem," said Sakim, "are alive and in some respects very aware and sensitive, that having to do with detecting fish, locating desirable feeding grounds, and such.	10
50	55	Too, the behavior of living islands, like that of other forms of life, those of a sufficient degree of sensitivity, is susceptible of modification, even training of a sort.	10
53	217	I had thought it would have been Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, posted in Sybaris.	10
56	49	In that terrible moment I saw what few men had seen, even those accustomed to camp upon and inhabit living islands, the monster beneath the placid surface, hundreds of tentacle-like filaments, tiny eyes, and a sharp, hooklike beak.	10
56	77	We had all by now had evidence of the capacity of the Brigand Island, and perhaps other such islands, to detect motion in the water.	10
58	199	"I count twenty," I said, "every ship in the fleet of the Farther Islands".	10
58	201	"Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, returned from patrol, and received my message," I said.	10
58	228	"But, happily, Nicomachos departed with the entire fleet of the Farther Islands, eager to wipe the fleet of Bosk of Port Kar from the sea, and thereby restore himself to station and favor with Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos".	10
58	259	"It would not have been well had the Fleet of the Farther Islands passed us, unknowingly," I said.	10
59	32	"Due to the valor and skill of the noble Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, all hail to the sublime Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, the fleet of the notorious pirate, Bosk of Port Kar, predator to shipping, burner of villages, ravager of towns and cities, has but recently been surp...	10
59	242	"His blood belongs on the Farther Islands," said another.	10
59	271	"A fine parade," said Thurnock, "—for the Farther Islands".	10
59	394	"How came it about," I asked, "that Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, encountered the corsair fleet near Mytilene on Chios?" "I do not know," he said.	10
60	71	"Harbor sharks!" These are a breed of sharks which, as far as I know, are found only in the Farther Islands, small sharks, seldom more than a foot in length, but they can vary from three or four inches, a size one could hold in one's hand, to a foot and a half.	10
62	33	He will have his ceremony, and receive his decoration, and then, to his dismay, be put to what amounts to exile, be consigned to practical banishment, be sent to be again Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands".	10
62	63	"At least," I said, "to associate such villainy with some figure, any figure, remote from the Farther Islands, that to divert suspicion from Thera, and, for such a purpose, Bosk of Port Kar, I suppose, would do as well as any other".	10
62	73	"We think," said Archelaos, "he is somewhere on the Farther Islands, in any one of a hundred ports".	10
62	78	"I am sure that he, the true Bosk of Port Kar, is somewhere in the Farther Islands," said Archelaos.	10
62	101	Accordingly then, Bosk of Port Kar was duped, lured to the Farther Islands, to deal with raids and ravaging allegedly perpetrated by him".	10
63	74	"In a few days," said Clitus, "I expect Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, to return to Thera".	10
