Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
20	12	Perhaps the Priest-Kings, whoever or whatever they might be, reasoned that such a man was dangerous, that such a man might in time raise his own banner of dominion; perhaps they realized that I, of all on Gor, did not revere them, would not turn and bow my head in the direction of the Sardar Mountai...	10

1	151	What I must do was fairly obvious—make my way out of the mountains as soon as it was light.	10
1	188	Who knew the nature of the things or forces that were afoot that night in the mountains, things and forces that might perhaps smash me, casually, as one innocently steps on an insect without being aware of it or caring? I still had the compass, and that constituted a firm link to reality.	10

2	176	"Idealists and rebels have been dashed to pieces on the frozen escarpments of those mountains.	10
2	177	If one approaches the mountains, one must go on foot.	10
2	184	"Sometimes," said my father, his eyes still faraway, "when men are old or have had enough of life, they assault the mountains, looking for the secret of immortality in the barren crags.	10
2	194	It was rumored, according to my father, that they cultivated holiness in their mountains, and in their contemplation could not be concerned with the realities and evils of the outside and unimportant world.	10
2	195	They were, so to speak, absentee divinities, existent but remote, not to be bothered with the fears and turmoil of the mortals beyond their mountains.	10
2	196	This conjecture, the seeking of holiness, however, seemed to me to fit not well with the sickening fate apparently awaiting those who attempted the mountains.	10
2	199	They limit, selectively, the technology available to us, the Men Below the Mountains.	10
2	202	"On the other hand," he said, "you will learn that in lighting, shelter, agricultural techniques, and medicine, for example, the Mortals, or the Men Below the Mountains, are relatively advanced".	10

2	219	"Frankly," said my father, "I believe the ship was remotely controlled from the Sardar Mountains, as are said to be all the Voyages of Acquisition".	10
3	196	This might account for the relatively primitive weapons allowed to the Men Below the Mountains.	10
3	201	I doubted that they stood against one another, man to man, sword to sword, in their holy mountains, putting their principles of selection to the test in their own cases.	10

5	34	The Older Tarl had told me that Thentis is a city famed for its tarn flocks and remote in the mountains from which the city takes its name.	10
5	149	Sometimes I guided my tarn by the stars, the same fixed stars I had seen from another angle above my head in the mountains of New Hampshire.	10
12	107	Soon my swift captor had reached his mountains, and the vague, distant smudge that I had seen had become a lonely, frightening, inaccessible wilderness of reddish cliffs.	10
12	152	As nearly as I could determine from the map and my memory of the location of the Vosk and the direction I had been carried, I was somewhere in the Voltai Range, sometimes called the Red Mountains, south of the river and to the east of Ar.	10
13	18	There would be many who would leave the city to seek the comparative safety of the mountains.	10
13	92	I feared the disease as I had not feared the larl, but I could not leave him here in the mountains to fall prey to one beast or another.	10

14	159	There was a rim of red light over the mountains, and I knew it was nearly dawn.	10
19	97	I knew almost nothing of the fabled Priest-Kings, but I did know that something of the sort must exist, for I had been brought to Gor by an advanced technology, and I knew that some force or power lay in the mysterious Sardar Mountains.	10
19	100	On the back of my tarn, I waited, not knowing if I was to be singled out for the Flame Death, not knowing if I, like the mysterious blue envelope in the mountains of New Hampshire, so long ago, was doomed to explode in a devouring blue flame.	10
20	26	There, I suppose to this day, in that inhospitable vastness, he reigns; in the scarlet mountains of the Voltai, Marlenus still rules, a larl among men, an outlaw king, to his followers always the Ubar of Ubars.	10
20	43	I awoke, perhaps weeks later, stiff and chilly in the mountains of New Hampshire, near the flat rock on which the silver spacecraft had landed.	10

20	73	If I should once again walk the green fields of Gor, I know that I should attempt to solve the riddle of the Priest-Kings, that I should enter the Sardar Mountains and confront them, whoever or whatever they might be.	10

Book 2. (72 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
5	120	Like every man of Gor I knew the direction of the Sardar Mountains, home of the Priest-Kings, a forbidden vastness which no man below the mountains, no mortal, may penetrate.	10
6	2	Whereas the Men Below the Mountains, as the mortals are called, seldom enter the mountains, and do not return when they do, many often venture to their brink, if only to stand within the shadows of those cliffs that hide the secrets of the Priest-Kings.	10
20	91	I wondered—an eerie suspicion that suddenly swept through me—if the Sardar Mountains might actually be empty—if there might be nothing, simply nothing but the wind and the snow in those gloomy mountains, and if men worshipped, unknowingly, nothing.	10
23	3	Beyond the Fair and before the mountains, which rose suddenly from the plains, I could see the timber wall of black logs, sharpened at the top, which separated the Fair from the mountains.	10
23	40	Though the full force of my will drove me to the mountains, though in the mountains the Priest-Kings waited for me, I could not yet go.	10
1	17	He decided to go camping—by himself—in the nearby White Mountains, which were very beautiful then, in the white, brittle splendor of a New Hampshire February.	10
1	18	I loaned him some of my camping gear and drove him into the mountains, dropping him off beside the highway.	10
1	26	Yet, several months later, I understand that Tarl Cabot stumbled out of these same mountains, alive and well, but apparently under the stress of some emotional shock which had culminated in amnesia—at least for that period during which he had been missing.	10
1	59	We talked of dozens of things, but neither of us mentioned his abrupt response to my greeting, nor did we speak of those mysterious months in which he had disappeared in the mountains of New Hampshire.	10
1	62	I felt that the time would come when Cabot would speak to me of the mountains but that he himself would have to choose that time.	10
1	163	"I am going again to the mountains".	10
2	3	I rose slowly to my feet, my fibers alive in the wind, my hair torn by its blasts, my muscles each aching and rejoicing in their first movements in perhaps weeks, for I had again entered that silver disk in the White Mountains which was the ship of the Priest-Kings, used for the Voyages of Acquisiti...	10
2	11	To the right, in the far distance, I saw the smudge of mountains.	10
2	12	From their extent and height, as far as I could judge, I guessed them to be the mountains of Thentis.	10
2	15	There was no love in my heart for the Priest-Kings, those mysterious denizens of the Sardar Mountains, whoever or whatever they might be, but there was gratitude in my heart, either to them or to the strange forces that moved them.	10
2	17	The Priest-Kings, Keepers of the Holy Place in the Sardar Mountains, seeming knowers of all that occurred on Gor, masters of the hideous Flame Death that could with consuming fire destroy whatever they wished, whenever they might please, were not so crudely motivated as men, were not susceptible to ...	10
2	83	Judging by the sun, and knowing that Ko-ro-ba lay northwest of the mountains, I strode in the direction of my city.	10
3	117	I remembered once when I had feared thus in the mountains of New Hampshire, and how shamefully I had yielded to my fear and had run, a slave to the only degrading passion of man.	10
5	4	Ko-ro-ba was not set as high and remote as, for example, was Thentis in the mountains of Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, but it was not a city of the vast plains either, like the luxurious metropolis of Ar, or of the shore, like the cluttered, crowded, sensuous Port Kar on the Tamber Gulf.	10
5	5	Whereas Ar was glorious, a city of imposing grandeur, that acknowledged even by its blood foes; whereas Thentis had the proud violence of the rude mountains of Thentis for its setting; whereas Port Kar could boast the broad Tamber for its sister, and the gleaming, mysterious Thassa beyond, I thought...	10
5	121	It was said that the Supreme Home Stone of all Gor lay within those mountains and was the source of the Priest-Kings' power.	10
5	122	It was said no man had returned alive from those mountains, that no man had looked upon a Priest-King and lived.	10
5	123	I resheathed my sword, fastened my helmet over my shoulder, lifted my shield and spear and set out in the direction of the Sardar Mountains.	10
6	1	Vera The Sardar Mountains, which I had never seen, lay more than a thousand pasangs from Ko-ro-ba.	10
6	4	Four times a year, correlated with the solstices and equinoxes, there are fairs held in the plains below the mountains, presided over by committees of Initiates, fairs in which men of many cities mingle without bloodshed, times of truce, times of contests and games, of bargaining and marketing.	10
6	5	Torm, my friend of the Caste of Scribes, had been to such fairs to trade scrolls with scholars from other cities, men he would never have seen were it not for the fairs, men of hostile cities who yet loved ideas more than they hated their enemies, men like Torm who so loved learning that they would ...	10
6	11	I would have given much for a tarn in my journey, though I knew no tarn would fly into the mountains.	10
6	12	For some reason neither the fearless hawklike tarns, nor the slow-witted tharlarions, the draft and riding lizards of Gor, would enter the mountains.	10
6	38	It would shorten the trip to the Sardar Mountains by weeks.	10
8	64	I determined that I should try to secure a tarn and proceed as quickly as possible to the Sardar Mountains, to keep my appointment with the Priest-Kings.	10
8	83	That I was determined to reach the Sardar Mountains he need not know.	10
14	152	"The bird is chained! Attack! Kill them both!" In that instant the bolt gave, and the nut spun from the shaft! The tarn, as if it understood it was free, shook the hated metal from its leg and lifted its beak to the skies and uttered such a cry as must have been heard by all in Tharna, a cry seldom ...	10
16	47	I was pleased, for though I would have little use for such riches in the Sardar Mountains, Linna and Andreas, and the poor wretches of the arena, might well profit from them.	10
17	66	I was far from the Sardar Mountains, far from the Priest-Kings of Gor.	10
19	81	"Therefore we must scatter to the forests and the mountains, taking cover where we can.	10
19	123	Andreas knew as well as I that men did not return from the Sardar Mountains.	10
19	125	"I think you would find few songs in the mountains".	10
19	149	I must begin my journey to the Sardar Mountains.	10
19	151	I knew that little passed on Gor that was not somehow known in the Sardar Mountains.	10
19	152	The power and knowledge of the Priest-Kings is perhaps beyond the comprehension of mortal men, or, as it is said on Gor, of the Men Below the Mountains.	10
19	155	I had seen the power of the Priest-Kings at work—in the mountains of New Hampshire years ago when it was so delicately exercised as to affect the needle of a compass, in the Valley of Ko-ro-ba where I had found a city devastated as casually as one might crush a hill of ants.	10
19	159	I knew then as I knew now that I would go instead to the Sardar Mountains, that I would enter them and seek the Priest-Kings themselves.	10
20	3	Before starting for the mountains, it seemed wise to improve my equipment.	10
20	65	One is the fairs at the Sardar Mountains, which occur four times a year and are numbered chronologically.	10
20	72	* * * * Some four days after I had recovered the tarn, we sighted in the distance the Sardar Mountains.	10
20	73	Had I possessed a Gorean compass, its needle would have pointed invariably to those mountains, as though to indicate the home of the Priest-Kings.	10
20	74	Before the mountains, in a panorama of silk and flags, I saw the pavilions of the Fair of En'Kara, or the Fair of the First Turning.	10
20	76	I looked upon those mountains which I now saw for the first time.	10
20	78	The mountains of the Sardar were not such a vast, magnificent range as the rugged scarlet crags of the Voltai, that almost impenetrable mountain vastness in which I had once been the prisoner of the outlaw Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, ambitious and warlike father of the fierce and beautiful Talena, she who...	10
20	86	The mountains before me were black, except for the high peaks and passes, which showed white patches and threads of cold, gleaming snow.	10
20	90	I took the tarn as high as I could, until his wings beat frantically against the thin air, but could see nothing in the Sardar Mountains that might be the habitation of Priest-Kings.	10
20	118	A similar device, I supposed, might prevent the entry of high tharlarions, the saddle lizards of Gor, into the mountains.	10
20	120	I knew now that it was true, what I had been told, that those who entered the mountains would do so on foot.	10
20	123	I pointed out over the fields, away from the mountains.	10
20	127	I think, though it may be absurd, that the beast felt that he might have failed me, that he had not carried me into the mountains.	10
20	135	I gestured to the fields away from the mountains.	10
20	138	I felt unaccountably sad, and turned to face the mountains of the Sardar.	10
22	123	In his arms I learned mountains and flowers and the cry of wild tarns and the touch of a larl's claw.	10
23	4	Men seeking the mountains, men tired of life, young idealists, opportunists eager to learn the secret of immortality in its recesses, would use the gate at the end of the central avenue of the Fair, a double gate of black logs mounted on giant wooden hinges, a gate that would swing open from the cen...	10
23	24	"Someone has entered the mountains," said Lara.	10
23	28	I had spoken to her of my work in the mountains, of my destiny which lay therein.	10
23	30	She knew as well as I that those who entered the mountains did not return.	10
23	73	"It is hard to be first in Tharna," I said, and led her down the hillock, away from the Sardar Mountains.	10
25	161	Indeed, I myself had business to attend to—an account to settle—only my affairs would lead me to the Sardar Mountains, for the business to which I must attend was with the Priest-Kings of Gor.	10
26	3	Now that it is told I must begin my journey to the Sardar Mountains.	10
26	4	Five days from now I shall stand before the black gate in the palisades that ring the holy mountains.	10
26	5	I shall strike with my spear upon the gate and the gate will open, and as I enter I will hear the mournful sound of the great hollow bar that hangs by the gate, signifying that another of the Men Below the Mountains, another mortal man, has dared to enter the Sardar.	10
26	12	Many have entered the mountains and so many must have learned the secret of the Priest-Kings, though none has returned to tell it.	10
26	25	Other Silver Masks had taken refuge in the mountains beyond the walls and these were hunted like sleen by converging rings of irate peasants, who drove them into the center of their hunting circles, whence, unmasked and bound, they were herded to the city to meet their fate.	10
26	115	It now seems to me that if I had simply returned to Gor, and to my city, my father, my friends and my beloved Talena, I might not have cared to enter the Sardar, that I would not have cared to relinquish the joys of life to inquire into the secrets of those dark mountains.	10
26	116	And I have wondered sometimes, and the thought awes and frightens me, if my city might not have been destroyed only to bring me to the mountains of the Priest-Kings, for they would surely know that I would come to challenge them, that I would come to the Sardar, that I would climb to the moons of Go...	10
26	119	But why would Priest-Kings desire Tarl Cabot to come to their mountains? He is nothing to them, nothing to any man; he is only a warrior, a man with no city to call his own, thus an outlaw.	10

1	75	The reason for this is not simply that here is a fine market for such wares, since men from various cities pass freely to and fro at the fair, but that each Gorean, whether male or female, is expected to see the Sardar Mountains, in honor of the Priest-Kings, at least once in his life, prior to his ...	10

2	76	But on what could it live among these barren crags?

4	6	Too, the passage was devoid of ornament, lacking the mosaics and tapestries with which the beauty-loving Goreans below the mountains are wont to glorify the places of their own habitation.	10
8	143	Perhaps Treve has never attacked Thentis because she, too, is a mountain city, lying in the Mountains of Thentis, or more likely because the men of Treve respect her tarnsmen almost as much as they do their own.	10
11	71	"Do the men below the mountains do as much for their animals?" asked Misk.	10
16	30	"So much the better," said Misk, "for the Men below the Mountains are then confused and fear us even more—but the members of the Caste of Initiates, we have found, will produce an explanation of why the city was destroyed.	10

17	112	I, in the very Nest of Priest-Kings, was more free than he who walked the stones of some road in the bright sun, somewhere beyond the palisade, far from the mountains of Priest-Kings yet still in the shadow of the Sardar.	10
27	90	I wondered if, among Priest-Kings, he would have helped her, or if there would have been others from the former Nest, or if she alone would have fallen to earth, to eat the wings that had borne her, and to burrow beneath the mountains to begin the lonely work of the Mother, the creation of the new N...	10
