3 72 On the other hand, the High Castes, specifically the Warriors, Builders, Scribes, Initiates, and Physicians, were told the truth in such matters, perhaps because it was thought they would eventually determine it for themselves, from observations such as the shadow of their planet on one or another o...

4 141 On the other hand, I objected to the Initiates being in the place of honor, as it seemed to me that they, even more than the Warriors, were nonproductive members of society.
Details
10
4 142 For the Warriors, at least, one could say that they afforded protection to the city, but for the Initiates one could say very little, perhaps only that they provided some comfort for ills and plagues largely of their own manufacture.

10
5 152 I had seen too many village cooking fires on the last night, and twice I had heard the tarn whistles of nearby patrols—groups of three warriors flying their rounds.
Details
10
5 155 Almost simultaneously I heard the raucous cry of a patrol leader of Ar, "We have him!" They had followed my tarn, trailing it back from its feeding in the swamp forest, and now, like the points of a rapidly converging triangle, three warriors of Ar were closing in on me.
Details
10
5 159 The third of the warriors of Ar was sweeping in from behind.

6 3 Flying among the cylinders were tarnsmen, cavalry warriors reveling in the undisciplined liberty of the feast, racing one another, essaying mock passages at arms, sometimes dropping their tarns, like thunderbolts toward the bridges, only to jerk them upward just inches above the terrified heads of t...

10 113 These gigantic lizards had been bred on Gor for a thousand generations before the first tarn was tamed, and were raised from the leathery shell to carry warriors.

10 125 In spite of this invention, the mounted warriors always wear, as an essential portion of their equipment, a thick leather belt, tightly buckled about their abdomen.
Details
10
10 126 In addition, the mounted warriors inevitably wear a high, soft pair of boots called tharlarion boots.

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.
Details
10
16 20 In these battles the skies would be filled with tarnsmen, from Ar and from the camp, firing into the massed warriors below, engaging one another in savage duels hundreds of feet in the air.
Details
10
16 32 Around these towers and on top of them warriors swarmed.

10
16 66 "The siege might be lifted," I said, "if a force could take Pa-Kur by surprise, a force of some thousands of warriors attacking from the unprotected side of the camp".

Book 2. (50 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
25 11 Seemingly almost impassive, the golden-robed figure on the throne watched the two warriors moving backward and forward before her, one clad in the blue helmet and gray tunic of Tharna, the other in the universal scarlet of the Gorean Caste of Warriors.
Details
10
2 30 Indeed, the Gorean spear is such that many warriors scorn lesser missile weapons, such as the longbow or crossbow, both of which are not uncommonly found on Gor.
Details
10
2 34 I looked forward eagerly to seeing him again, that rough, Viking giant of a man, that proud, bearded, affectionately belligerent swordsman who had taught me the craft of arms as practiced by the warriors of Gor.
Details
10
2 36 In it I found the scarlet tunic, sandals and cloak which constitute the normal garb of a member of the Caste of Warriors.

8 52 After all, how many scarlet-clad warriors appeared from day to day in the drab streets of Tharna? I climbed one of the towers of Tharna, wanting to look out upon the city.

10
8 110 Now many assassins roamed Gor, fearing to wear the somber black tunic of their caste, disguised as members of other castes, not infrequently as warriors.

10
9 91 "You are of high caste, of the Caste of Warriors," said the proprietor.

10
9 151 Some warriors entered, too, and instead of attempting to restore order had incredibly taken off their helmets, filled them with Kal-da and sat cross-legged with us, to sing and drink their fill.

10
10 20 Ost scurried along behind us, puffing and gasping, his short, bandy legs struggling to keep pace with the stride of warriors.
Details
10
10 23 I respected the quiet, efficient guardsmen of Tharna, and I had already encountered her skilled warriors in a field far from the city.
Details
10
11 21 About the room, here and there, stood stern warriors of Tharna, grim in their blue helmets, each with a tiny silver mask on the temple—members of the palace guard.
Details
10
11 114 One or two of the warriors, heedless of the proprieties of Tharna, acknowledged my deed by smiting their shields with the bronze heads of their spears.
Details
10
13 17 "Do you think that only warriors are brave?" he asked.
Details
10
13 31 Several were armed warriors, perhaps stationed there to keep the peace, but many must have been common citizens of Tharna.
Details
10
13 148 Calmly I waited in the center of the arena for the warriors.
Details
10
13 151 "Sleen," cried he, "you have spoiled the Amusements of Tharna!" Two warriors hastily unbolted the horns from the yoke and dragged me to the golden wall.
Details
10
14 11 Among warriors, the bite of an ost is thought to be one of the most cruel of all gates to the Cities of Dust; far preferable to them are the rending beak, the terrible talons of a tarn.
Details
10
14 84 Warriors with spears rushed forward, forcing me back away from the tarn.
Details
10
14 114 I knew that the warriors of Tharna would have to kill two of us, for the tarn would defend me to the death.
Details
10
14 137 I heard, too, the voice of Dorna the Proud urging the warriors to their task.
Details
10
14 140 The great door through which the tarn had been drawn was also opening, and a line of warriors was hurrying through the opening.
Details
10
16 8 On the pillar itself there were three tarns, and as many warriors, and one woman, who wore the silver mask of Tharna.
Details
10
16 12 "Is it customary," I asked the Tatrix, "for warriors to carry weapons to the Pillar of Exchanges?" "There will be no treachery," said the Tatrix.
Details
10
16 31 Dorna stopped, about five yards in advance of Thorn and the two warriors, who had not moved at all.
Details
10
16 65 She turned and walked majestically to Dorna and the warriors.
Details
10
16 68 Thorn and the warriors leaped forward, and I found myself ringed with their weapons.
Details
10
16 80 Thorn and the warriors were startled, and in this instant I leapt between their weapons, seized Thorn and a warrior, dashed them together, and threw them both, weapons clattering, to the marble flooring of the pillar.
Details
10
16 102 Better that than to die under the spear of one of the warriors.
Details
10
16 126 Painfully I was wrenched into the air and, cruelly hanging by my shackled wrists, I saw the white column dropping away beneath me, and the figures upon it, two warriors, a woman in a silver mask, and the golden Tatrix of Tharna.

10
18 94 That night the slaves who brought the tub of food were accompanied by a dozen warriors.

10
19 90 "In this cause," I said, "whether you are of the Caste of Peasants, or Poets, or Metal Workers, or Saddle-Makers, you must be warriors!" "We shall," said Kron of Tharna, his fist holding the great hammer with which he had struck off our shackles.

10
19 96 And it seemed strange to me that this rebellion, this willingness to pursue the right as they saw it, independently of the will of the Priest-Kings, had come not first from the proud Warriors of Gor, nor the Scribes, nor the Builders nor Physicians, nor any of the high castes of the many cities of G...

19 129 "Hear, dull-witted scion of the Caste of Warriors," he said, "my friends are more important to me than even my songs".

22 68 "You are indeed beautiful," I said, "—so beautiful that a thousand warriors might give their lives to see your face, so beautiful that a hundred cities might come to ruin on your behalf".

22 110 "In these dreams I had been proud in my palace surrounded by my council and warriors and then, shattering the roof like glass, a great tarn descended, bearing a helmeted warrior.

24 19 Almost as one they cried out, "Tal, Warrior!" "Tal, Warriors!" I responded, raising my arm, addressing them all by the title of my caste, for I knew that in their common cause each was a warrior.

10
24 144 Many of them had cut longbows and many of them were armed with the spears and crossbows of fallen warriors.

10
24 146 And should the warriors have attempted to use the tarns merely to fire down on the crowd, they would suddenly have found the streets deserted, until the shadow of the bird had passed and the rebels could move another hundred yards closer to the palace.

10
24 169 Thorn too now spoke loudly for the benefit of the warriors.

10
24 202 "Back to your post!" Other warriors in the blue helmets and gray tunics of Tharna had climbed to the top of the barricade, to see more clearly what befell.

10
24 204 "You are warriors!" I cried.

1 81 The expeditions sent out from the cities are of course extremely well guarded, but pirates and outlaws too can band together in large numbers and sometimes, even more dangerously, one city's warriors, in force, will prey upon another city's caravans.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
10 263 The theoretical justification of the games of Love War, from the Turian point of view, is that they provide an excellent arena in which to demonstrate the fierceness and prowess of Turian warriors, thus perhaps intimidating or, at the very least, encouraging the often overbold warriors of the Wagon ...

2 38 And if I should manage to seize it, how could I carry it away? I had no tarn, one of Gor's fierce saddlebirds; I had not even the monstrous high tharlarion, used as the mounts of shock cavalry by the warriors of some cities.

10
2 166 I was looking on the faces of four men, warriors of the Wagon Peoples.

3 23 At last the Tuchuk detached himself from the other three warriors and pranced his kaiila to within a dozen yards of me.

8 52 It was the Omen Year, and not a year, apparently, in which to risk war with far peoples, particularly not those of cities like Ar, whose warriors had mastered the tarn and might, from the air, have wrought great destruction on the herds and wagons.

10
8 190 Both were, doubtless, well skilled in the art of pleasing the fancy of warriors of the Wagon Peoples.

10
9 12 It might be mentioned, for those unaware of the fact, that the Caste of Merchants is not considered one of the traditional five High Castes of Gor—the Initiates, Scribes, Physicians, Builders and Warriors.
Details
10
10 7 We moved slowly, walking the kaiila, in four long lines, the Tuchuks, the Kassars, the Kataii, the Paravaci, some two hundred or so warriors of each.

10 83 When I had lifted her to her feet I noted, in the distance, a bit of dust moving from one of the gates of the city towards us, probably two or three warriors mounted on high tharlarion.

10
10 215 On long lines of tharlarion I could see warriors of Turia approaching in procession the Plains of a Thousand Stakes.
Details
10
10 221 The warriors of Turia extended their formation about two hundred yards from the stakes until in ranks of four or five deep they were strung out in a line as long as the line of stakes itself.
Details
10
10 228 To my astonishment the warriors of the Wagon Peoples seemed to be paying very little attention to the bestial avalanche that was even then hurtling down upon them.
Details
10
10 252 I saw Hereena notice the young man Harold among the warriors and she pointed her finger imperiously at him, gesturing him to her.
Details
10
10 256 The girls then went to mingle with the warriors.
Details
10
10 259 Now the excitement of the throng seemed mostly to course among the warriors of the Wagon Peoples as they rose in their stirrups to see better the swaying, approaching palanquins, each reputedly bearing a gem of great beauty, a fit prize in the savage contests of Love War.
Details
10
10 262 The games of Love War, in themselves, do not constitute a gathering of the Wagon Peoples, for normally the herds and the free women of the peoples do not approach one another at these times; only certain delegations of warriors, usually about two hundred from a people, are sent in the spring to the ...
Details
10
10 264 The secret justification, I suspect, however, is that the Turian warrior is fond of meeting the enemy and acquiring his women, particularly should they be striking little beasts, like Hereena of the First Wagon, as untamed and savage as they are beautiful; it is regarded as a great sport among Turia...

10
10 272 Now, looking on the approaching palanquins, I supposed that so once, in veil and silks, had ridden the lovely Tenchika, and so, too, as far as I knew, might have ridden the lovely Dina, had she not fallen earlier and otherwise to the chains of Kassar warriors.

10 297 The selection of the girls, incidentally, is determined by judges in their city, or of their own people, in Turia by members of the Caste of Physicians who have served in the great slave houses of Ar; among the wagons by the masters of the public slave wagons, who buy, sell and rent girls, providing...

10
10 349 All along the lines of stakes I saw Turian warriors and those of the Wagon Peoples press into the area between the stakes.
Details
10
10 351 Turian warriors walked along the line of stakes, examining them, stepping back when one spit or kicked at him.
Details
10
10 354 This aspect of the games was extremely humiliating for the Turian girls, but they understood its necessity; few men, especially barbarian warriors, care to fight for a woman on whose face they have not even looked.
Details
10
10 374 But already several of the other warriors of the Wagon Peoples were inspecting the unveiled Aphris of Turia.

10
10 395 In short, in their various ways, something like seniority and skills determines, of two or more Turians, or two or more warriors of the Wagons, who will take the field.
Details
10
10 454 The saber, incidentally, is not only unpopular among the Wagon Peoples but among the warriors of Gor generally; it is regarded as being too long and clumsy a weapon for the close, sharp combat so dear to the heart of the warrior of the cities; further it is not of much use from the saddle of a tarn ...
Details
10
10 456 Incidentally, Turian warriors, in order to have the opportunity to slay a foe, as well as acquire his woman, customarily choose as the weapon of combat in these encounters, buckler and dagger, ax and buckler, dagger and whip, ax and net, or the two daggers, with the reservation that the quiva, if us...

11 11 "Slave girl! Slave girl!" She then turned and strode away, looking for warriors of the Kassars.

10
14 4 Those who are unfamiliar with the Wagon Peoples, or who know them only from the swift raid, sometimes think them devoid of organization, sometimes conceive of them as mad hordes or aggregates of wild warriors, but such is not the case.

10
14 32 Rather, to my astonishment, he rode before them all, racing his kaiila to the center of the line where some five or ten warriors, on kaiilaback, waited.
Details
10
14 34 And then, following the war lanterns, filing out of their ranks with a swiftness and precision that was incredible, long, flying columns of warriors flowed like rivers between the beasts.
Details
10
14 36 In the light of the Gorean moons we saw slaughtered bosk, some hundreds of them, and, some two hundred yards away, withdrawing, perhaps a thousand warriors mounted on tharlarion.
Details
10
14 48 When we had passed through the ranks, which had remained still, those thousands of warriors simply turned their kaiila, the last of them now first, and followed us.
Details
10
14 131 "The Warriors know," said Kamchak.
Details
10
14 132 "The warriors".

15 28 I suppose I was angered because I myself was a tarnsman, and it seemed somehow improper for warriors astride the mighty tarns to barter their favors indiscriminately for gold to either side.

19 15 "You are aware, of course," I mentioned, "that the Pleasure Gardens of so rich a man as Saphrar of Turia may contain a large number of female slaves—not all of whom might be trusted to keep silent—and some of whom will undoubtedly notice something as unusual as two strange warriors wan...
Details
10
21 23 Rank by rank the warriors on the kaiila, dour, angry, silent, turned their mounts away from the city and slowly went to find their wagons, save for the Hundreds that would flank the withdrawal and form its rear guard.
Details
10
21 64 To my chagrin I was not admitted into the compound, but my pitiful stock of almost worthless stones was examined outside the gate by a steward in the company of two armed warriors.
Details
10
21 65 It took him only a few moments to discover the value of the stones and, when he did, with a cry of disgust, he hurled them away from the gate into the dust, and the two warriors, while I pretended fright and pain, belabored me with the hilts of their weapons.
Details
10
21 81 I glanced behind me to see that the girl who carried the market basket had inadvertently fallen in front of the warriors.
Details
10
21 85 I heard the running feet of the two warriors, and then of six more men, pass in the street below.
Details
10
21 164 The Caste of Bakers is not regarded as a high caste, to which one looks for nobility and such; and yet her father and her brothers, outnumbered, had fought and died for their tiny shop; and this courageous girl, with a valor I might not have expected of many warriors, weaponless, alone and friendles...

10
21 298 Also he was of the Caste of Warriors and would not permit himself to be seen on his funeral pyre in the robes of so low a caste as that of the Bakers.

10
21 355 Another wall, on the other side of the avenue, tumbled downward, two Turian warriors leaping from it, being ridden down by Tuchuks, leaping over the burning debris on kaiilaback, lance in hand.
Details
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.
Details
10
23 13 I should have known that no four common warriors of the four peoples would have ridden together.

10
23 20 It was little to him, apparently, that the Paravaci should raid the herds and wagons of the Tuchuks when most of the Tuchuk warriors were engaged in Turia.

23 48 It took only a moment for him to give the tarn into the keeping of some five warriors and leap on the back of his kaiila.

23 98 The latter would be driven before the warriors through the wagons, both slave girls and free women stripped and bound together in groups, providing shields against arrows and lance charges on kaiilaback for the men advancing behind them.

10
23 134 Harold and I, and those of our men that remained, stood with the wagons, watching the nearing waves of warriors, observing the moment when the chain face guards of the Paravaci helmets were thrown forward, the moment when the lances, like that of a single man, were leveled.

23 141 I watched the nearing warriors, lances ready, the swiftness of the charge hurtling into full career.

23 144 Suddenly rising over the crest of rolling hills, like black floods, from both the left and the right, I saw on racing kaiila what must have been thousands of warriors, thousands upon thousands.

23 158 "To your animals!" And in an instant it seemed the wagon lashings had been cut by quivas and our hundreds of warriors, the pitiful remnant of our two Thousands, swept forth upon the Paravaci, riding as though they had been fresh rested and ready, shouting the wild war cry of the Tuchuks.

23 190 In the morning the warriors remaining of the two Thousands who had ridden with Harold and I would, with the help of other Tuchuks surviving among the wagons, move the wagons and the bosk from the field.

26 23 "My own recommendation," Harold was saying, "would be first to fly my tarn cavalry over the walls, clearing them with thousands of arrows, and then, in a second wave, to fly dozens of ropes of warriors to the roofs of the main buildings, to seize them and burn the others".
