Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence

15	33	Given the depth of the foundations of Ar's mighty walls and the mantle of rock on which they were fixed, it would be extremely unlikely that her walls could be successfully undermined to the extent of bringing down a significant section, but it was surely possible that if one of the tunnels managed ...	10
2	17	Aside from these things and two stone blocks, perhaps chairs, and a mat on one side, the room was bare; the walls and ceiling and floor were smooth as marble, and a classic white.	10

4	132	Benches of stone, on which the members of the Council sat, rose in five monumental tiers about the walls, one tier for each of the High Castes.	10

15	2	Its splendid, defiant shimmering cylinders loomed proudly behind the snowy marble ramparts, its double walls—the first three hundred feet high; the second, separated from the first by twenty yards, four hundred feet high—walls wide enough to drive six tharlarion wagons abreast on their...	10
15	3	Every fifty yards along the walls rose towers, jutting forth so as to expose any attempt at scaling to the fire of their numerous archer ports.	10
15	4	Across the city, from the walls to the cylinders and among the cylinders, I could occasionally see the slight flash of sunlight on the swaying tarn wires, literally hundreds of thousands of slender, almost invisible wires stretched in a protective net across the city.	10
15	9	Beyond the walls were Pa-Kur's lines of investment, set forth with all the skill of Gor's most experienced siege engineers.	10
15	20	In the walls, every hundred yards or so, was a log gate.	10
15	24	It was unthinkable that they should top the walls of Ar, but with their battering rams they would attempt to break through at the lower levels.	10
15	25	Tarnsmen would make the attack at the summit of the walls.	10
15	27	Over these bridges the siege towers would be rolled to the walls of Ar; over them his tharlarion cavalry would march; over them his horde would flow.	10
15	30	There would be numerous tunnels being worked even now toward the walls of Ar, and, from Ar, countertunnels to meet them.	10
16	16	Sometimes the forces of Pa-Kur drove the warriors of Ar back to the very walls of the city, forcing them through the gates.	10
16	24	The men of Ar remained within their walls, under their tarn wire, waiting for the attacks to come, while the Initiates of the city sacrificed to the Priest-Kings.	10
16	25	On the tenth day of the siege small engines, such as covered catapults and ballistae, were flown across the ditches by tarn teams and soon were engaged in artillery duels with the engines mounted on the walls of Ar.	10

16	30	After dark, in the light of torches, the first tower reached the walls.	10
16	36	From the height of the walls, some two hundred feet above the towers, missiles would be fired and stones cast.	10
16	40	But five more towers rolled slowly toward the walls of Ar.	10
16	41	These towers were fortresses in themselves and would be maintained at all costs; hour in and hour out, they would continue their work, gnawing at the walls.	10
17	30	I truly believe that the brave men of Ar, in their valorous if blind love for their city, would have maintained the walls until the last slain warrior had been thrown from them to the streets below, but the Initiates would not have it so.	10
17	31	In a surprise move, which perhaps should have been anticipated, the High Initiate of the city of Ar appeared on the walls.	10
18	1	In the Central Cylinder As the tarn climbed, I saw the camp of Pa-Kur, the ditches, the double walls of Ar with siege engines like leeches fastened to the inner wall, and, approaching the city, Pa-Kur's long lines of chanting garrison troops, the morning sun flashing on their metal, their march mea...	10
18	16	But first, as part of my plan, I raced my tarn directly for the walls of Ar, swiftly passing the slow procession on the plains below.	10
18	38	The cry, rather forlorn, to lower the wire was echoed along the length of the walls and from tower to tower.	10
18	65	I streaked from the walls of Ar, noting with dismay that the procession of Pa-Kur was only a short distance from the great gate.	10
18	78	I did know that sometimes the pathetic inmates of Dar-Kosis Pits, repenting their decision to be incarcerated, had managed to cut footholds in the walls and escape, but the labor involved—a matter of years—the death penalty for being discovered, and the very risk of the climb made such...	10
18	80	Looking about, I saw several of the caves dug into the walls of the pit, which, at least in most pits, house the inmates.	10
18	92	I widened my search, wandering about the walls, but they seemed sheer, impenetrable.	10
19	19	"Look for me hereafter in the streets and on the bridges," he said, "on the walls and in the hidden rooms of the highest cylinders.	10
19	183	Moreover, with the closing of the great gate, there was no refuge in the city; they were trapped against the walls, packed like cattle for the slaughter, trampling one another, unable to use their weapons.	10
19	236	Beyond the walls the horde had cast down its weapons.	10
20	15	The large contingent of mercenaries who had flocked to his banner were kept as work slaves for a period of one year, to fill in the vast ditches and siege tunnels, to repair the extensive damage to the walls of Ar, and to rebuild those of its buildings that had been injured or burned in the fighting...	10
20	25	With some fifty followers, who loved him even more than their native walls, he fled on tarnback to the Voltai Range, from whose peaks he could always look upon the distant towers of Ar.	10

26	34	The marvelous glazing substances of the Caste of Builders, long prohibited as frivolous and expensive, began to appear on the walls of the cylinders, even on the walls of the city itself.	10
3	2	I recognized it, and even had I not, the cylindrical pasang stones that marked its length were each inscribed with the sign of the city and the appropriate pasang count to its walls.	10
4	1	The Sleen In the darkness I stumbled on toward the walls of Ko-ro-ba, striking the stones of the road with the butt of my spear, to keep on the road and to drive possible serpents from my path.	10
4	55	Why were the lanterns not hung on the lofty bridges? Why were the lamps of a hundred colors and flames not lit in the compartments of the city, telling in the lamp codes of Gor of talk, of drinking, of love? Why were the huge beacons on the wall not burning, not summoning Ko-ro-ba's far-roving tarns...	10

9	53	"How many hours, Warrior," asked he, "have you been within the walls of Tharna?" "At the sixth hour I came to Tharna," I said.	10
9	54	"It is then too late," said the man, with a trace of sorrow, "for you have been within the walls for more than ten hours".	10
9	57	I had been disturbed by this conversation and without really intending it had begun to walk to the walls.	10
10	29	On each side of the avenue was a gradually ascending brick wall, and as we trudged upward the walls on each side became higher and the avenue more narrow.	10
10	31	At the entrance to the palace the somber, wet avenue shrunk to a passage large enough only for a single man, and the walls at the same time rose to a height of perhaps thirty feet.	10
10	56	It dragged me in a series of quick, vicious jerks through the tunnel, scraping me on its stone walls, lacerating me, ripping my tunic.	10
10	57	At last it dragged me into a round, globelike space, lit by two torches in iron racks, which were set into the fitted-stone walls.	10
10	93	In certain of the walls chains were fixed, and here and there, other chains dangled from the ceiling.	10
10	94	On the walls, as though in some workshop, there hung instruments of various sorts, which I shall not describe, other than to say that they were ingeniously designed for the torment of human beings.	10
11	10	The halls were lit occasionally by tharlarion oil lamps set in iron fixtures mounted in the walls.	10
11	15	At last I found myself in a large, vaulted room, lit by torches set in the walls.	10
11	17	Only one adornment relieved the walls of their melancholy aspect, the image of a gigantic golden mask, carved in the likeness of a beautiful woman.	10
12	6	The floor and the walls were of black stone, quarried in giant blocks of perhaps a ton apiece.	10
12	7	The lamp dried the stone in its vicinity, but, on the floor and most of the walls, there was a dampness and the smell of mold.	10
12	36	The shadows of the tiny tharlarion-oil lamp far above flickered on the walls, on the face of the girl.	10
13	24	It was an oval enclosure, perhaps a hundred yards in diameter on its longest axis, and enclosed by walls about twelve feet high.	10
13	25	The walls were divided into sections, which were brightly colored, with golds, purples, reds, oranges, yellows and blues.	10
14	13	I was free to wander on the sand, enclosed only by the walls.	10
14	216	With a storm of wings the tarn smote the air and rose, in the sight of all, above the stands, above the arena, above the towers and walls of Tharna, and sped toward the horizon, the golden-robed body of the Tatrix clutched in its talons.	10
16	52	"Indeed, Warrior," said she, "for our Tatrix we would give you even the stones of our walls".	10
17	8	There were pools of water here and there on the floor; the walls were damp; water in certain places dripped from the ceiling.	10
19	38	Armed only with ore and the picks that chip the ore from the walls we stormed into the quarters of Whip Slaves and guardsmen, who had scarcely time to seize their weapons.	10
19	75	"Think, Kron of Tharna," I cried, "soon tarnsmen will fly from the walls of Tharna and the infantry will move against us".	10
20	63	But so far there has been no military victory of Ar over other cities and, accordingly, free of the sword, the Initiates of each city regard themselves as supreme within their own walls.	10
22	125	"I would not," she said, "have given up his collar for all the gold and silver in Tharna, not for all the stones of her gray walls".	10
23	112	It was late in the afternoon of the fifth day that we saw in the distance the gray walls of Tharna.	10
23	118	Outside the walls several small buildings had been burned.	10
23	120	We brought the tarn down on the walls near the gate.	10
23	134	As he felt the wind on the walls reach his head he opened his grayish blue eyes.	10
23	197	On many of the walls the legend "Sa'ng-Fori" could be read.	10
24	10	The shop itself was now hung with perhaps half a hundred lamps and the walls were bright with the caste colors of the men who drank there.	10
24	97	"Is it right that the men of Tharna lift their weapons against one another, men within the same walls?" "It is a sad thing," said Kron.	10
24	136	Once more I noted that the walls bordering the avenue rose as the avenue narrowed, but this time, long before we neared the small iron door, we saw a double rampart thrown across the avenue, the second wall topping the first and allowing missiles to be rained down on those who might storm the first ...	10
24	137	The rampart was thrown between the walls where they stood at perhaps fifty yards from each other.	10
24	205	"Your swords are pledged to your city, to its walls, to your people and your Tatrix! Serve her!" "I shall serve the true Tatrix of Tharna!" cried the young warrior.	10
24	259	The torches on the walls still burned.	10
24	260	Behind the golden throne of the Tatrix loomed the dull gold mask, fashioned in the image of a cold and beautiful woman, the reflection of the torches set in the walls flickering hideously on its polished surface.	10
25	13	Our wild shadows like misformed giants locked in combat against the lofty walls of the torchlit chamber.	10
25	14	Then there was but one reflection and but one gigantic, grotesque shadow cast upon the walls of the Chamber of the Golden Mask.	10
25	72	The squeal must have carried to the walls of Tharna.	10
25	153	Perhaps she would find herself confined within the walls of some warrior's Pleasure Gardens, to be dressed in silk of his choosing, to have bells locked on her ankles and to know no will other than his; perhaps she would be purchased by the master of a Paga Tavern, or even of a lowly Kal-da shop, to...	10
25	154	Perhaps she might be purchased for the scullery in a Gorean cylinder and discover her life to be bounded by the tile walls and the steam and soap of the cleaning tubs.	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	41	I have seen private apartments with tapestries from the mills of Ar upon the walls; and my sandals have sometimes found underfoot richly colored, deeply woven rugs from distant Tor.	10
26	58	Too I recognized that there was no longer any adequate provision—given the destruction of Tharna's institutions—for the indefinite shelter of large numbers of free women within her walls.	10
26	83	She, like myself, and all of Ko-ro-ba, is an exile, and exiles sometimes find it hard to call a foreign city home; sometimes they regard the risks of the wilderness as preferable to the shelter of alien walls.	10
26	107	But I go to the Sardar for more than truth; foremost in my brain there burns, like an imperative of steel, the cry for blood-vengeance, mine by sword-right, mine by the affinities of blood and caste and city, mine for I am one pledged to avenge a vanished people, fallen walls and towers, a city frow...	10
26	131	The beacon fires are set upon her walls, and I can hear the cry of distant guardsmen that all is well in Tharna.	10
26	134	There will be few to note the stranger who leaves the city, perhaps few to remember that he was once within their walls.	10

Book 3. (32 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	56	Yet perhaps this is not so puzzling, for the Gorean cities will, within their own walls, enforce the Merchant Law when pertinent, even against their own citizens.	10
1	80	Thus one practical effect of the edict of the Priest-Kings is that each Gorean girl must, at least once in her life, leave her walls and take the very serious risk of becoming a slave girl, perhaps the prize of a pirate or outlaw.	10
4	4	The passage was lit with energy bulbs, of the sort which I had encountered in the tunnel of Marlenus which led beneath the walls of Ar.	10
5	8	The walls were of plain dark stone with energy bulbs fixed in them; the furnishings seemed to consist mostly of two or three large chests against one wall.	10
5	197	"And instead," she cried, "I have only these walls of stone and the steel collar of a slave girl!" She helplessly, enraged, tried to tear the slender, graceful, obdurate band from her white throat.	10
7	49	Vika's eyes were a sullen, smoldering, taunting blue; the blue of Lara's eyes had been brighter, as clear and, when not impassioned, as soft as the summer sky over Ko-ro-ba; when impassioned they had burned as fiercely, as beautifully, as helplessly as the walls of a raped city.	10
8	40	It might be possible, of course, to use some type of penetrating beam which if subtly enough adjusted might permit the reception of signals through walls and then relay these to a distant screen, but I doubted that such a device, though perhaps within the capacities of the Priest-Kings, would be use...	10
8	41	Then my eye saw, directly in the center of the ceiling, another energy bulb, like those in the walls, only the bulb was not lit.	10
9	78	I looked about the room, at the chests against the wall dim in the reduced light of the energy bulbs, at the walls, at the shattered device in the ceiling, at the broken sensors, at the great, empty portal that led into the passageway beyond.	10
10	61	The light of energy bulbs set in the walls and in the dome like stars shed a brilliant light on the entire canyon.	10
12	48	He turned to the walls behind him, which were covered with thousands of tiny illuminated knobs.	10
14	94	Actually the walls, ceiling and floor were covered with what, to a Priest-King, were excruciatingly beautiful scent-patterns.	10
15	8	A circle of eerie, blue, descending light flickered on the walls of the passage down which I lowered myself.	10
15	9	The walls a few feet below the level of Misk's compartment became damp.	10
15	11	I could see the discolorations of slime molds, probably white, but seeming blue in the light, on the walls.	10
17	18	"It is a beautiful compartment which Misk has here," he said, examining the visually bare walls with his antennae, admiring the scent-patterns which had been placed on them.	10
20	91	She gave a long, frantic, terrified, wild scream and squirmed about in the cylinder, her small gloved fists striking futilely at the strong, curved plastic walls that confined her.	10
21	54	Then to my amazement, one by one, the strange creatures, disdaining the bars near the door began simply to pad up the almost vertical walls to the Priest-Kings and then, astonishingly, began to walk upside down on the ceiling.	10
21	56	While the creatures remaining on the floor continued their mournful paean, their fellow creatures on the walls and ceiling, still carrying their torches, and scattering wild shadows of their own bodies and those of swollen Priest-Kings against the ceiling, began to fill their golden vessels from the...	10
21	59	The strange procession to and fro up the walls and across the ceiling to Priest-Kings and back down to the floor continued for more than an hour, during which time the Muls who stood below, some of them having returned with a full vessel, never ceased to chant their mournful paean.	10
22	83	There were several of these, I noted, around the walls and they seemed obviously intended to hold Mul-Torches or some similar illuminating device.	10
23	59	I found I did not even have to stop and search for the small signs I had scratched in the walls of the passages to guide my way for as I ran it seemed I knew each bend and turn of that passageway as though it had suddenly leaped alive flaming in my memory.	10
26	91	She looked about herself at the plastic walls, and shivered.	10
27	363	And from a thousand translators rang the message she cried out over those golden heads to the blank stone ceiling and walls of her chamber and I shall never forget it as it was in all the sorrow and the joy of her trembling dying magnificence; I and all could read it in the attitude of her body, the...	10
29	6	Misk's compartment was gone, only powdery stains marking the place where the walls had been.	10
29	13	Here and there where a human or Priest-King would dart into the open the cone nearest to him would focus on him and the human or Priest-King, like the buildings and the walls, would seem to break apart into powder.	10
31	99	At the same time two walls shattered and fell crumbling in rubble to the floor.	10
31	132	Sarm kept firing long, persistent bursts of fire at the paneling against the walls, undoubtedly attempting to destroy the instrumentation.	10
31	134	I left cover and rushed to the walkway and was soon climbing up the narrow path that crept around the surface of the globe that now barely contained the frenzied, bubbling fury, the turbulence of the hissing, erupting substance that leaped and smote against the smooth enclosing walls.	10
31	181	Drifts of rock powder hung in the air, fitted stone tumbled to the flooring far below, the walls trembled, the very globe and walkway fastened to it seemed to shift and shudder.	10
34	77	"The word will spread," said my father, "and they will come in twos and threes from all corners of Gor, singing, each carrying a stone to add to the walls and cylinders of their city".	10
35	96	"Perhaps you could develop a depth scanner," I suggested, "one that could penetrate walls, ground, ceilings".	10

22	24	I could smell tharlarion oil on the walls, waiting to be fired and poured on those who might attempt to dig at the walls or mount ladders against them.	10
24	67	Saphrar probably had, behind his walls, more than three thousand defenders, plus a comparable number of servants and slaves, who might be of some service to him, particularly in such matters as reinforcing gates, raising the height of walls, loading crossbows, gathering arrows from within the compou...	10
26	87	Once or twice I heard swords ringing from within the walls, as perhaps some men, loyal to Saphrar, or to their codes, attempted to prevent their fellows from leaving the compound, but I gather, judging from the continued exodus from the walls, that those who were this loyal were scattered and few in...	10
26	109	Behind me I heard hundreds of ladders and grappling hooks strike against the wall, and, turning, I saw, climbing over the walls, as well as entering through the open gates, hundreds and hundreds of men, until the walls were swarming with Tuchuks, and others of the Wagon Peoples.	10
1	41	Even the autumn grass itself bent and shook in brown tides toward Turia, shimmering in the sun like a tawny surf beneath the fleeing clouds above; it was as though the unseen wind itself, frantic volumes and motions of simple air, too desired its sanctuary behind the high walls of the far city.	10
1	51	They are among the proudest of the peoples of Gor, regarding the dwellers of the cities of Gor as vermin in holes, cowards who must fly behind walls, wretches who fear to live beneath the broad sky, who dare not dispute with them the open, windswept plains of their world.	10
2	58	I passed fields that were burning, and burning huts of peasants, the smoking shells of Sa-Tarna granaries, the shattered, slatted coops for vulos, the broken walls of keeps for the small, long-haired domestic verr, less belligerent and sizable than the wild verr of the Voltai Ranges.	10
2	92	A thousand years ago it was said they had carried devastation as far as the walls of Ar and Ko-ro-ba.	10
3	123	Soon the animals would be turned in on themselves, to mill together in knots, until they were stopped by the shaggy walls of their own kind, to stand and graze until the morning.	10
8	133	The Gorean girl is, even if free, accustomed to slavery; she will perhaps own one or more slaves herself; she knows that she is weaker than men and what this can mean; she knows that cities fall and caravans are plundered; she knows she might even, by a sufficiently bold warrior, be captured in her ...	10
9	87	The average citizen worried about the Wagon Peoples, customarily, only when he was outside the walls.	10
10	19	Dina, though she was slave, I had placed on the saddle before me, her legs over the left forequarters of the animal, and had ridden with her from the wagons, until in the distance I could see the gleaming, white walls of Turia.	10
10	26	"Is it your wish," she asked, "that I run for the city?" She referred to a cruel sport of the young men of the wagons who sometimes take Turian slave girls to the sight of Turia's walls and then, loosening bola and thong, bid them run for the city.	10
10	64	"Do you want me to ride to the walls and throw you over?" I demanded.	10
10	220	The walls were crowded, and I supposed many upon them used the long glasses of the Caste of Builders to observe the field of the stakes.	10
10	273	I wondered how many of the proud beauties of Turia would this night tearfully serve barbarian masters; and how many of the wild, leather-clad girls of the Wagons, like Hereena, would find themselves this night naught but bangled, silken slaves locked behind the high walls of distant, lofty Turia.	10
10	578	"Six years," said Kamchak, "before I was scarred was I mercenary in the guards of Ar, learning the walls and defenses of that city for my people.	10
11	83	"I do not speak to slaves," said he, and the merchant, on the palanquin, moved away toward the walls of distant Turia.	10
11	182	It was too bad, I thought, but at least I supposed there would be one fellow among the wagons, the young man Harold, he whom the girl had so abused, he who had not yet won the Courage Scar, who would be just as pleased as not that she, with all her contempt and spleen, was now delightfully salted aw...	10
15	15	Kamchak, on kaiilaback, would sit in fury regarding the distant, white walls of Turia.	10
15	18	He stood as a nomad, in his way baffled at the walls raised against him.	10
15	43	Now, to my chagrin, the sphere lay not in a Tuchuk wagon on the open prairie but, presumably, in the House of Saphrar, a merchant stronghold, behind the high, white walls of Turia.	10
16	32	I heard Harold's voice in the darkness, sounding hollow against the tiled walls and over the water.	10
16	73	We were in an enclosed well yard, surrounded by walls of about sixteen feet in height, with a defender's catwalk about the inside.	10
16	74	The walls provide a means for defending the water and also, of course, considering the number of wells in the city, some of which, by the way, are fed by springs, provide a number of defensible enclaves should portions of the city fall into enemy hands.	10
18	116	About a hundred and fifty yards away, over several small roofs and domes, all within the vast compound that was the House of Saphrar of Turia, I saw the high walls of what was undoubtedly a Pleasure Garden.	10
21	7	The smoke of the wagon must easily have been seen from the distant walls of Turia.	10
21	55	It is a nerve-wracking business, the negotiation of an enemy city, knowing that discovery might bring torture or sudden death, at best perhaps an impalement by sundown on the city's walls, a warning to any other who might be similarly tempted to transgress the hospitality of a Gorean city.	10
21	170	Sometimes Dina and I, in our walking about the city, would ascend the high walls and look out over the plains.	10
21	172	Indeed, the broad walk, some thirty feet wide, within the high walls of Turia, with the view over the plains, is a favorite promenade of Turian couples.	10
21	173	During times of danger or siege, of course, none but military personnel or civilian defenders are permitted on the walls.	10
21	196	"It will take time," she said, "and the walls are patrolled closely after sundown, and lit by torches".	10
21	214	I would rather have expected Kamchak to have stood before the walls of Turia, his kaiila saddled, his arrows at hand, until the winds and snows had at last driven him, the Tuchuks, the wagons and the bosk away from the gates of the beleaguered city, the nine-gated, high-walled stronghold of Turia, i...	10
21	276	"My name," he said, "is Harold—of the Tuchuks!" There was now screaming on the walls, the rushing of guardsmen toward the wagon.	10
22	9	The compound of the House of Saphrar, however, had not fallen, protected by its numerous guardsmen and its high walls, nor had the tower elsewhere that sheltered the tarn cots and warriors of Ha-Keel, the mercenary from Port Kar.	10
22	44	Then he added, "Much of the richest booty of Turia lies behind these walls".	10
23	201	I appreciated this very much on his part, for I keenly wished to return to Turia as soon as it would be at all practical—I had pressing and significant business yet unfinished behind its walls.	10
