4 172 On each of the ships of Ar's Station there were long, heavy sets of planks, fastened together by transverse crosspieces.

4 200 That ships such as those of Ar's Station and of the independent towns, mostly refitted merchantmen, would dare to leave the security of their lines to launch their own attack, not bolstered by the ships of Port Cos, had not entered its ken.

4 220 The ships of Port Cos, now only the Tais and four others, resumed their station at our right flank.

4 222 They had taken heavy toll of the enemy before he had turned the wedge to face them, and then, as confused, he, struck by our unexpected attack, that of the independent ships and those of Ar's Station, had turned to face us, the Tais and her sisters had renewed their attack on his flank.

Book 23. (212 results) Renegades of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 140 This being the case, however, why had the army of Ar not kept to it, on its presumed journey to raise the siege of Ar's Station? The most likely hypothesis seemed to me to be that it was making its way not to Ar's Station but to Brundisium, where, months ago, the Cosians had landed.
Details
10
2 141 This suggested that either Ar's Station was to be sacrificed in these harsh games, or that it was the thinking of Ar's commanders that a move to Brundisium would lift the siege of Ar's Station, the Cosians there perhaps then being withdrawn to protect Brundisium.

13 178 Were they really spurious, and had they really been intended to bring about the surrender of Ar's Station why would they not have been more realistically conceived, that they might have been more likely to achieve such a purpose? For example, why would they not have been in some cipher, one which mi...

21 1450 There was, incidentally, one flag of Ar's Station on board which had been brought from Ar's Station itself, but that flag, large, rent, faded and tattered, was not the one, or ones, under discussion.

2 41 "With folks from Ar's Station?" I asked.

10
2 52 "Only what I hear," he said, "—that the Cosians have invested Ar's Station, on three sides by land, and have closed the harbor, that with a wall of chained rafts".
Details
10
2 65 "I have heard there are thousands of Cosians, their auxiliaries, and their mercenaries, at Ar's Station," he said.
Details
10
2 66 "If that is true, they must outnumber the regulars in Ar's Station by as many as ten to one".
Details

2 72 "The fighting at Ar's Station, by report, has been lengthy and fierce," said the man.

10
2 77 "Why is Cos interested in Ar's Station?" "I am not fully sure," I said, "but there could be various reasons, and some of them would seem obvious.

2 79 Taking Ar's Station would, in a stroke, diminish the major citadel of Ar's power in the area, and, in effect, drive a wedge between the Salerian Confederation and the Vosk League".

2 86 Some of the towns of the league are actually east of Ar's Station, such as Forest Port, Iskander, Tancred's Landing, and, of course, White Water.

2 87 Ar's Station, although it was apparently active in the altercations with pirates on the Vosk, never joined the league.

2 94 "I have heard," said the man, "a large relieving force bound for Ar's Station departed from Ar weeks ago".

2 108 They had continued to march northward, as though the major danger lay at Ar's Station.

10
2 112 She had marched north, presumably to relieve Ar's Station.
Details
10
2 116 Then at last I had been given a sealed letter for the commander at Ar's Station, whose name was Aemilianus.
Details
10
2 123 This speculation was further encouraged by the fact that Ar's Station would surely have its tarn wire strung and the skies about it, as nearly as I had determined, were currently controlled by Cos.
Details
10
2 131 I had encountered refugees from Ar's Station and its environs even south of Venna.
Details
10
2 134 What puzzled me most was that the Viktel Aria was the most direct route, for hundreds of pasangs, to Ar's Station.
Details
10
2 135 Indeed, Ar's Station, in effect, secured the northern terminus of the Viktel Aria, or Vosk Road, at the Vosk.
Details
10
2 142 Such a move, of course, might isolate the Cosian main forces, both depriving them of their support from Cos and Tyros and separating them from their fellows at Ar's Station.
Details
10
2 145 Ar's bastion on the Vosk, Ar's Station, was being treated as expendable, which it was not, if Ar wished to maintain its power in the Vosk Basin.
Details
10
2 152 By now, in the normal course of events, given Ar's start, and the typical marches of armies, she would have had time to reach not only Ar's Station but even Brundisium, much farther away.
Details
10
2 155 Perhaps, for some reason, the forces of Ar were intending to relieve Ar's Station from the west, thus interposing themselves between the siege forces of Cos and their likely routes of escape, either substantially west by southwest to Brundisium or more to the southwest, toward Torcadino.

10
6 748 By now, the hair of slaves in Ar's Station, and doubtless the hair of most of her free women as well, donated in the case of the latter as a contribution to the defense effort, would have been shaved off, or, perhaps, cropped short.
Details
10
6 750 Under the current conditions, of course, it would be difficult to get such materiel into Ar's Station.
Details
10
6 751 Indeed, in a sense, that was the same problem I faced, finding a way into Ar's Station.

10
6 882 Drovers, flush with coins, would be here, of course, returning from Ar's Station.

6 884 "You are on your way to the Cosians' siege camp at Ar's Station," I hazarded.

10
8 63 Probably at one time or another, before the founding of Ar's Station, it had served to garrison troops, perhaps concerned to monitor the more northern reaches of the Vosk Road.
Details
10
8 281 The contrast between the robes of concealment and her present revelatory vestiture, more suitable for a property girl, must be particularly, and shockingly, dramatic to her, who knew her own antecedents and station.
Details
10
8 370 Such did not accord with the first portion of my plan for entering Ar's Station.
Details
10
8 791 These women were now, if all had gone well, on their way to Ar's Station, probably chained behind, and attached to, the wagon of Ephialtes.

10
8 822 It would take a regiment of Gorean infantry, in normal marches, given time for the fortification of a camp in the late afternoons, and so on, three days to reach Ar's Station from the Crooked Tarn.
Details
10
9 11 One could see the walls of Ar's Station from where we were.
Details
10
9 17 There would be even less, I supposed, in most homes in Ar's Station.
Details
10
9 37 The first portion of my plan had been to reach Ar's Station as swiftly as possible, which meant, in effect, to do so on tarnback, and in such a way as to gain immunity from the attentions of Cosian tarn patrols.
Details
10
9 43 I had hoped, of course, somehow, ideally, to be able to enter Ar's Station on tarnback.
Details
10
9 45 Even my garb as a courier had not permitted me free access to the airspace over Ar's Station.
Details
10
9 47 I had made the attempt in the afternoon and again in the evening of the first day I had arrived in the vicinity of Ar's Station.
Details
10
9 134 I had thought that perhaps I might have been able to ascend the walls of Ar's Station on one of the scaling ladders, in a morning attack, but I had soon thought the better of it.

10
9 162 But then, instead of being freed, they had found themselves being coffled, and had been brought to the vicinity of Ar's Station as though they might have been naught but slaves.
Details
10
9 273 The paucity of women, relatively, rent slaves even bringing a copper tarsk a night, had largely to do with the coming and going of the slave wagons, which tended to carry off most of the captures, apprehended refugees, women who had fled from Ar's Station for food, giving themselves into bondage for...

10
9 333 From Ar's Station came the sounds of trumpets, far off.
Details
10
9 338 "There must be many women left in Ar's Station," she said.
Details
10
9 345 The women in Ar's Station, even the youngest and most beautiful, might now be pale, and drawn and scrawny, but water, and slave gruel, forced down their throats if necessary, could bring back their color, and fatten them for the block.
Details
10
9 351 "Men are dying there," I said, looking toward Ar's Station.
Details
10
10 17 "You are within two hundred yards of Ar's Station," I informed her.
Details
10
10 55 I had, as though looking for a good price first on Elene, made my way through the network of trenches toward the walls of Ar's Station.
Details
10
10 228 That was why I had saved her for last, of course, for use in the trench closest to Ar's Station.
Details
10
10 447 "Is this how those of Ar's Station respect the conventions of war?" The hands of the men were tight upon my arms.
Details
10
10 465 The honor of Ar's Station has it so.
Details
10
11 26 By such signs I conjectured the paucity of rations in Ar's Station.
Details
10
11 30 In these times, I suspected there would be few unsheared slave girls in Ar's Station, and probably, too, few unsheared free women.
Details
10
11 37 "Are you Aemilianus," I asked, "commander in Ar's Station?" "I am," he said, looking at me.
Details
10
11 144 I then realized the degree of isolation of those in Ar's Station.
Details
10
11 188 "While Cos is at Torcadino, and Ar's Station under siege?" "You see the absurdity of the report," said Aemilianus.
Details
10
11 198 "Even though you are isolated here, and invested," I said, "surely you must understand that the siege of Ar's Station can be no secret.
Details
10
11 250 "The main Cosian forces are here, at Ar's Station.
Details
10
12 54 "You are probably fed as well as others in Ar's Station," I said.
Details
10
12 56 "They took my hair!" "In that way," I said, "they have seen to it that you have done your bit for Ar's Station".
Details
10
12 87 "Claudia, Lady of Ar's Station," she said.
Details
10
12 151 "Ar's Station had betrayed me!" she said.
Details
10
12 176 "I, too, demanded power in Ar's Station, should the city not be destroyed, for there were those here, those who had not granted me preferments, on whom I would have my vengeance.
Details
10
12 218 I saw Ar's Station, to my satisfaction, grow weaker each day.
Details
10
12 226 "And that pleasure would presumably remain mine even if Ar's Station were burned to the ground, and salt cast upon the ashes!" "Of course," I said.
Details
10
12 343 On the other hand, it was probably true that she had been better fed than most in Ar's Station, at least prior to her incarceration in the cell, given her former hoarding and the additional food she had obtained at the wall, in the basket.
Details
10
12 354 "You are probably being fed as well as most in Ar's Station," I said.
Details
10
13 12 Technically, of course, as she was still a free woman, she was still Lady Claudia of Ar's Station.
Details
10
13 18 Five days ago the walls of Ar's Station had been breached.
Details
10
13 22 Ar's Station was in flames.
Details
10
13 57 "And many, most, I suspect, of those women of Ar's Station who had not managed to flee earlier, at the approach of Cos, or somehow escape the city, are in the citadel".
Details
10
13 137 She could not now even dream of betraying Ar's Station, or men.
Details
10
14 106 "It is possible that you will soon be in greater danger from Cosians than from your compatriots of Ar's Station".
Details
10
14 128 "The Cosians have waited long for Ar's Station," I said.
Details
10
15 177 Such things, in Ar's Station, in these days, might be kept in such places.
Details
10
15 537 "But if your thoughts in this matter had been correct," I said, "it might have been too bad, might it not, for many of the other women of Ar's Station, women less fortunate, less rich, than you, who lacked the means wherewith to purchase their lives?" "That could not be my concern," she said, angril...
Details
10
15 579 "Does it seem fair to you," I asked Lady Claudia, "that Lady Publia should have such an advantage over the other women of Ar's Station?" "I do not know," said Lady Claudia.
Details
10
15 594 "Now," I said, "if Cosians come on you, you will be on the same footing as the other women of Ar's Station".
Details
10
16 19 Then, after a long, spiral climb, we emerged through a guard station, and onto the wall.
Details
10
16 55 Had I more time or been of Ar's Station, perhaps I might have waited until it was being climbed and then, after a while, cut the rope.
Details
10
16 117 This was the flag of Ar's Station, signifying the power of Ar on the Vosk.
Details
10
16 170 "No matter!" "Those of Ar's Station," I said, "will expect to see her on the spear.
Details
10
16 464 "You are not of Ar's Station.
Details
10
16 492 "I would, if I were you," I said, "while any of Ar's Station are about, with a sword in their hand, keep my veil".
Details
10
16 518 My accents could not be confused with the liquid accents of Ar or those so similar, of Ar's Station.
Details
10
17 44 At another bridge, Vosk fishermen, from the vicinity of Ar's Station, fought, perhaps men who had merely been trapped in the city when the Cosians had taken their positions, and, at another bridge, huntsmen, from the interior, perhaps similarly detained.
Details
10
17 86 I saw one of Ar's Station run through, and slip to one knee, and then disappear back, over the interior edge of the walkway, probably to plunge to the rubble there, and then roll down to the court, behind the wall.
Details
10
17 106 I had taken up my post above the main gate, on the higher battlements, where the impaling spear was mounted, and the flag of Ar's Station still snapped defiantly.
Details
10
17 127 I now saw a fellow from Ar's Station on top one of the towers, on its roof.
Details
10
17 393 I then, slowly, drew down the flag of Ar's Station from the citadel.
Details
10
17 731 I did not think about it at the time, but if he had thought me of Ar's Station I do not think he would have said this.
Details
10
18 3 In the harbor, within the wall of rafts, there was the burned wreckage of several ships of Ar's Station, some burned to the waterline.
Details
10
18 33 "Of all the people of Ar's station?" I asked.
Details
10
18 34 "Some fled months ago," he said, "some even when it was learned the Cosians had landed at Brundisium, others when it was rumored they were marching on Ar's Station.
Details
10
18 331 I held my ground, as men of Ar's Station, one by one, backed past me, onto the walkway.
Details
10
18 399 I had the men of Ar's Station then, to my elation, on the walkway, drawing back on either side of me.
Details
10
18 479 The camp commander, he in charge of the Cosian forces at Ar's Station, had resumed his coign of vantage.
Details
10
18 563 "Obviously, if you did not impale her," he said, "you did not wish her impaled, and you have done service to Ar's Station, whatever may be your own Home Stone.
Details
10
19 4 Most of these boats were of Ar's Station, those which had been out at the piers.
Details
10
19 5 Other boats trying to flank our position, for using their crossbows, were met and turned back by those of Ar's Station.
Details
10
19 10 Their places were taken, to my amazement, by other stout fellows of Ar's Station.
Details
10
19 24 I saw one fellow of Ar's Station, standing in a small boat, scream with hatred and strike down at one of the shapes with a pike.
Details
10
19 163 "It is speculated that you are not of Ar's Station," he said.
Details
10
19 177 "You are, then, of Ar's Station, or Ar herself?" he asked.
Details
10
19 194 "Why did not relief come to Ar's Station?" I asked.
Details
10
20 22 "Who are you?" "Ar's Station is gone," I said to Aemilianus.
Details
10
20 30 One does not keep secret the siege of a city such as Ar's Station.
Details
10
20 34 "And what would you have done, had you been commander in Ar's Station?" I shrugged.
Details
10
20 85 "I am not of Ar's Station," I said.
Details
10
20 86 "Do not presume to command one who has no fondness for either Ar or Ar's Station".
Details
10
20 169 I saw one run aground there, by a guard station.
Details
10
20 177 Out in the harbor itself the small boats and rafts of Cosians which had been approaching to attack were now hurrying to the shore, to one side or another, to take shelter near the most convenient guard station.
Details
10
20 181 "What is all this about a topaz?" "You are then indeed a stranger to Ar's Station, and to the river," said a fellow.
Details
10
20 199 "It is now a private pledge between Port Cos and Ar's Station".
Details
10
20 200 "But the sympathies of Port Cos are surely with her mother ubarate," I said, "and those of Ar's Station with Ar".
Details
10
20 204 "Both Port Cos and Ar's Station fought on the river, in terrible and bloody battles, hull to hull.
Details
10
20 206 , the parts of the stone came into the keeping of Calliodorus, at that time acting first captain in Port Cos, and Aemilianus, who was at that time commander of the naval forces of Ar's Station.
Details
10
20 207 The pledge was renewed privately between them, I think, as comrades in arms, as Ar's Station was not permitted by Ar to join the Vosk League".
Details
10
20 215 It was natural that he, of Ar's Station, would give the date in the chronology of Ar.
Details
10
20 297 There had been no dearth of intelligence as to the desperate situation of Ar's Station, however, in this vicinity, east on the river, and south towards Ar.
Details
10
20 319 "You wonder where these ships are from?" asked a fellow near me, a fellow from Ar's Station, on the pier.
Details
10
20 383 I watched the piers being emptied, women and children, and men, of Ar's Station, embarking.
Details
10
20 388 Among others boarding the flagship, too, in her improvised hood, naked, her hands, too, thonged behind her back, as I had fastened them earlier, being pulled on her leash by one free woman, being herded from behind, poked and jabbed, and struck, with a stick by another, stumbling, ascending the narr...
Details
10
20 404 The various ships were now crowded with the men, women and children of Ar's Station.
Details
10
20 444 I did not think that those of either Cos or Ar's Station had cause to regret what had been done there.
Details
10
21 20 Now, in spite of his youth, he stood high in these councils, those of the survivors of Ar's Station.
Details
10
21 23 Those who stood with us here, I gathered, stood high among the survivors of Ar's Station.
Details
10
21 25 It was remarkable to see the difference in the fellows from Ar's Station, now that they had had some food and a decent night's sleep, though only stretched out on the crowded deck of a galley.
Details
10
21 34 Yesterday afternoon, shortly after we had cleared the harbor at Ar's Station, I had drawn the mask of Marsias from my features, and had shaken my head, glad to feel the air of the Vosk about me, so fresh and clear.
Details
10
21 39 Too, there was no sword like yours in Ar's Station".
Details
10
21 50 Her blond hair which had been closely cropped, if not shaved, early in the siege of Ar's Station was now growing out.
Details
10
21 87 "Doubtless he will be astonished to learn of yesterday's action at Ar's Station".
Details
10
21 149 "Are you, or have you ever been, a woman of Ar's Station?" he asked.
Details
10
21 270 "Is this the behavior typical of the women of Ar's Station?" smiled Calliodorus, glancing at Aemilianus.
Details
10
21 293 "Ten ships of Port Cos, and fifteen others," said Aemilianus, "entered the harbor of Ar's Station yesterday afternoon, shortly before what would presumably have been the last attack of Cos on the piers.
Details
10
21 330 "It is also believed that you carried much gold with you, in your purse, presumably, again, to improve your chances of persuading victorious Cosians to spare you, resources incidentally much beyond the reach of most women of Ar's Station, thus, again, supplying you with an advantage over them.
Details
10
21 337 "In Ar's Station," he said, "as in Ar, robes of concealment, precisely, are not legally obligatory for free women, no more than the veil.
Details
10
21 359 "And, too," she continued, "if conquering Cosians should have seen fit to take me for a simple, low-caste maid, I see no reason why the laws of Ar's Station should now be exercised against me.
Details
10
21 372 "In doing what you did," he said, "in going barefoot, in baring your calves, in not having your hair shortened, in carrying gold and such, you arrogated to yourself considerable advantages over other women in Ar's Station".
Details
10
21 377 Am I to be blamed, too, for being more beautiful than many women of Ar's Station, for I am certain that I am, and for thus having some additional unfair advantage over them?" "Why did you not donate your hair to the defense of the city?" asked Aemilianus.
Details
10
21 383 "While the women of Ar's Station had theirs cut?" "If they wished," she said.
Details
10
21 452 "I do not think that other women, those of Ar's Station, or of other cities, under similar circumstances, would have behaved differently," she said.
Details
10
21 637 "They belonged once, did they not, to a woman called Lady Publia, of Ar's Station?" "Yes," she said.
Details
10
21 641 "You had wished to be taken, perhaps, for the former Lady Publia, of Ar's Station?" "Yes," she said.
Details
10
21 661 She might even have served in her way as a souvenir to one fellow or another of the action at Ar's Station.
Details
10
21 738 "Clearly Ar's Station was abandoned, and presumably therewith the Vosk, and its basin, surrendered to Cos".
Details
10
21 746 "She did not permit Ar's Station to join the league," said Calliodorus.
Details
10
21 750 Though we have close ties, historical, cultural and political, with Cos, we are, unlike Ar's Station, a sovereign polity in our own right.
Details
10
21 754 "It was the justice of Ar's Station," said Aemilianus.
Details
10
21 762 Indeed, I perhaps ate better than any in Ar's Station that morning".
Details
10
21 764 Had it not been for the timely arrival of our friend Calliodorus, and certain mysterious others, she might now be in the chains of Cosians rather than in those of Ar's Station.
Details
10
21 789 "The men of Ar's Station," I said, "I would suppose, have no particular interest, personally, in impaling this female".
Details
10
21 795 "What do those of Ar's Station value most highly," I asked, "their justice—or their honor?" Several of the men cried out, angrily.
Details
10
21 799 "I am not of Ar's Station," I said, "and I have little love for her.
Details
10
21 816 "I ask the commutation of the sentence of impalement in the case of the Lady Claudia of Ar's Station".
Details
10
21 880 "Claudia, Lady of Ar's Station, free woman," he said, sternly.
Details
10
21 1033 To be sure, their fate was not unlike that of many women from Ar's Station.
Details
10
21 1367 Indeed, I would not have been surprised, had she surrendered herself at Ar's Station, claiming immunity, or such, that she would have quickly found herself, if, indeed, she were not slain, in the lowest of slaveries, as would seem fitting for her".

21 1440 "I will, then," he said, "with your permission, deck the ship with flags, and bunting and banners, and put prominently the flag of Ar's Station on the port stern line, and fly that of Port Cos on the starboard stem line".
Details
10
21 1441 "How is it," asked Aemilianus, "that you have a flag of Ar's Station on a ship of Port Cos?" "One can never tell when such things might be useful," smiled Calliodorus.
Details
10
21 1442 "And do you noble fellows of Ar's Station not carry flags of Port Cos, and perhaps of other towns, as well, in your vessels, perhaps in the chests in your stem castles?" That was a likely place to stow such paraphernalia.
Details
10
21 1455 I had little doubt that that flag was very precious to those of Ar's Station.
Details
10
21 1469 Too, that one had been a traitress to Ar's Station and the other had been eager to surrender to Cosians would not in any respect, when it was learned, diminish the effect.

22 19 "You were once Lady Publia, of Ar's Station," I said.
Details
10
22 72 "But," she said, "I gather, given the apparent desire to protect the slaves of Ar's Station, it is only to be expected that it be Claudia and I, and we alone, who are to be accorded that honor".

10
22 98 She had been whipped on our second night out, from Ar's Station.

10
23 16 "You were once Lady Claudia, of Ar's Station," I said.

24 3 Others, too, were about, such as the young warrior, Marcus, who had come days before to Port Cos, to obtain succor for the besieged of Ar's Station, and the young crossbowman and his friend, so young, and yet men by battle.
Details
10
24 17 "Nor had I ever thought to go to Ar's Station in the capacity I did," said Calliodorus.
Details
10
24 19 I glanced at the face of the young man, Marcus, who had brought the ships of Port Cos, and, apparently, those of certain other towns, as well, to the aid of Ar's Station.
Details
10
24 21 In his way, he was a hero, and yet, for all he had done, he, and those with him, of Ar's Station, were coming to this town, once their greatest rival on the Vosk, as refugees, with little more than the clothing on their backs.
Details
10
24 22 There was little left now of Ar's Station, I speculated.
Details
10
24 29 I did not think that those of Ar's Station now bore those of Ar much love.

10
24 89 Conspicuous at the port stem line snapped a flag of Ar's Station.
Details
10
24 93 I went back over various things in my mind, the Crooked Tarn, the camp of the Cosians, the trenches, the approach to the wall, my captivity, my escape, the fighting at Ar's Station, the escape from the piers.
Details
10
24 133 I had myself sold Elene and Klio in the trenches, in making my way toward the foot of the wall, at Ar's Station.
Details
10
24 137 After the fall of Ar's Station the Cosian troops, and their allies, mercenary and otherwise, would have much more freedom.

10
24 174 I recalled that Calliodorus, even on the first morning out from Ar's Station, after we had attended to the females, those who were now both slaves, and lay near us in their chains, had seemed ready, then not ready, to speak to Aemilianus of certain weighty matters, that he might have been considerin...

10
24 196 Then, as they lacked siege equipment, they did not proceed directly to Ar's Station, but went into winter quarters".
Details
10
24 197 "Ar's Station was never surrendered!" said a man.
Details
10
24 206 "Supposedly, over two months ago, I, and my high officers, and the caste officials, and councils of the city, treasonously, and without a fight, surrendered Ar's Station to a delegation of Cosians.

10
24 210 "Would you rather return to the ashes of Ar's Station?" asked Aemilianus, bitterly.
Details
10
24 224 "Indeed, he had even anticipated, as I had, given the abandoning of Ar's Station by Ar, that matters might be construed in some such perspective".
Details
10
24 238 "We of Ar's Station, and those who abetted us, not surprisingly, given the falsified and distorted accounts of our actions, are held in official dishonor and contempt".

10
24 316 "Surely Ar herself will cry out for vengeance," I said, "for the loss of Ar's Station, her pride upon the Vosk".

10
24 333 "Ar's northern forces are interposed between Ar's Station and Brundisium.

10
24 356 "Is it any the less absurd," asked Aemilianus, "that Ar should have been digging latrines in winter camp while the walls of Ar's Station were crumbling?" "But Ar might still be apprised of these movements in time to interpose herself between the expeditionary force and its base at Brundisium," said ...

32 219 I frankly doubted that there would be many folks from Ar's Station who would retain much affection for, or allegiance to, Ar, given Ar's abandonment of Ar's Station to the Cosian force in the north.

10
40 76 As it had turned out, however, Ar had sent her major forces northward, had failed to relieve the siege at Ar's Station, and then, supposedly pursuing the Cosian expeditionary force in the north, which had destroyed Ar's Station, had come to disaster in the delta.

1 277 Survivors of Ar's Station, which had been Ar's major bastion on the Vosk, including many women and children, had been rescued from the piers of the burning port by a fleet of unidentified ships, ships with which the Cosians in the north had not had the forces to deal.

10
1 346 Young Marcus, with the consent of his commander, Aemilianus, formerly of Ar's Station, now amongst the refugees at Port Cos, had been given permission to track the movements of the Cosians in the north, and to convey this information to the major land forces of Ar, which were currently located at Ho...

10
1 347 So deeply ran former loyalties, in spite of the failure of Ar, seemingly inexplicably, to relieve Ar's Station.

3 76 This sort of thing had already happened in Ar's Station.

3 81 There was, of course, a simple possible explanation for this inactivity, the cruelest consequence of which, to date, had been the failure to relieve the siege at Ar's Station.
Details

3 103 Ar, I was sure, would not come to his relief, any more than they had come to the relief of their own colonial outpost on the Vosk, Ar's Station, now in ashes.

14 61 "Ar," I said, "if you wish to know my opinions on the matter, has been betrayed, in the matter of Ar's Station, in the matter of the disposition of her northern forces, and, now, in her entry, unprepared, into the delta.

19 947 "What hope," asked she, "would I, naked, a woman of high birth and gentle upbringing, a woman of station, a lady of Ar, have of getting out of the delta alive?" "I do not know," I said.

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".

21 112 "Doubtless the occupant of the barge," I said, "was a high-born woman, of wealth and station, of sophistication and refinement, used to traveling in the highest and most exalted circles in Ar, a woman perhaps even of some power".

10
22 23 This was very different from her early days in my keeping, when she, as a typical free woman of high station had regarded herself as too good for the performance of such homely tasks, addressing herself quickly enough to them only to avoid the imposition of sanctions upon her, attendant on her condi...

27 140 "I did not know, at the time I sought to assist the young officer, Marcus, of Ar's Station, in work for Ar, that Ar repaid her friends with ropes and the blows of whips".

10
32 65 To be sure, she was thousands of pasangs from Ar, and if she ever returned to Ar presumably she would do so only as a scantily clad slave, her former wealth, identity, station and position irretrievably removed from her, no different from other such slaves in the city.

32 192 "He is not of Cos," I said, "but of Ar's Station".

36 22 To be sure, we must keep Marcus relatively quiet, for his accent, that of Ar's Station, would surely suggest that of Ar to folks who were alert to such things.

36 24 The folks in this area would, by now, given the fall of Ar's Station, and the general success of Cos on the continent, be familiar with such accents in females.

42 48 "It seems you have allies other than a mere officer of Ar's Station," he said.

10
42 85 "Still," said Marcus, "it is not as though you were of Ar, or Ar's Station".
Details
10
42 87 Had I had such an accent, one of Ar, or the closely allied accent of Ar's Station, that might well have drawn unwanted attention to myself.

42 130 I did not think that he, before the fall of Ar's Station, and his chagrin with Ar, would have spoken so of the feet of a free woman of Ar, particularly one of education, elevation and refinement.

45 56 "I wonder how many women of high station in Ar know how to cook," I said.
