3	249	My first impression was that of a rush of wind and a great snapping sound, as if a giant might be snapping an enormous towel or scarf; then I was cowering, awe-stricken, in a great winged shadow, and an immense tarn, his talons extended like gigantic steel hooks, his wings sputtering fiercely in the...	10
3	257	In Gorean, these birds are sometimes spoken of as Brothers of the Wind.	10

13	35	As it moved, for all its speed, it placed each paw carefully on the ground, first the toes and then the ball of the foot, as silently as the wind might bend grass, in a motion that was as beautiful as it was terrifying.	10
19	93	Except for the wind, there was no sound on the great cylinder.	10
19	113	Not even a scream came from that fierce blue combustive mass that had been a human being, and in a minute the flame had departed, almost as quickly as it had come, and a dust of ashes scattered from the top of the cylinder in the wind.	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	10	Far to my left I saw a splendid field of Sa-Tarna, bending beautifully in the wind, that tall yellow grain that forms a staple in the Gorean diet.	10

4	73	In spite of the icy wind and rain I could feel the heat of the stones through my sandals.	10

8	13	Indeed, it was known that some free women actually envied their lightly clad sisters in bondage, free, though wearing a collar, to come and go much as they pleased, to feel the wind on the high bridges, the arms of a master who celebrated their beauty and claimed them as his own.	10
8	30	The same maiden whom her father must harshly order into the presence of her suitor, the same shy girl who, her parents approvingly note, finds herself delicately unable to raise her eyes in his presence, is probably the same girl who slapped him with a fish yesterday and hurled such a stream of inve...	10

14	94	Its black crest, now unconfined by the hood, sprang erect with a sound like fire, and the wind seemed to lift and preen each feather.	10
14	111	I wondered if it too recalled the thunder of the wind, the clash of arms as tarnsmen dueled in flight, the sight of Gor's tarn cavalries wheeling in formation to the beat of the tarn drums, or the long, steady, lonely soaring flights we had known together over the green fields of Gor.	10
14	171	I wondered sometimes if that bird, my Ubar of the Skies, that tarn of tarns, of a race of birds spoken of by Goreans as Brothers of the Wind, might have considered himself as above the goad, resented its shocks and sparks, resented that that puny human device would pretend to teach him, he, a tarn o...	10

15	153	I watched the clouds scudding across the darkening sky, listened to the wind whistling among those lonely ridges.	10

20	31	A door on one of the sheds, its lock broken, swung loose on its hinges, banging in the wind.	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
20	92	What of the interminable prayers of the Initiates, the sacrifices, the observances, the rituals, the innumerable shrines, altars and temples to the Priest-Kings? Could it be that the smoke of the burning sacrifices, the fragrance of the incense, the mumblings of the Initiates, their prostrations and...	10

2	62	Some four days into the mountains I heard for the first time in my journey the sound of a thing other than the wind, the sighing of snow and the groaning of ice; it was the sound of a living thing; the sound of a mountain larl.	10
7	84	Yet my awareness or sense that something followed me in the corridor might well have been occasioned by some tiny sound which my conscious mind had not even registered, but yet which had impinged on my senses, leaving as its only conscious trace a vague wind of suspicion.	10
11	123	To my annoyance both of the Priest-Kings seemed immobile, leaning alertly forward into the wind, their forelegs lifted high, their antennae lying flat, streaming backwards.	10
27	130	The scent-music suddenly stopped and the Priest-Kings seemed to rustle as though an unseen wind had suddenly stirred the leaves of autumn and I heard even the surprised jangling of those tiny metal tools.	10
27	323	The withered antennae trembled, and the thin brown threads on them lifted as though stirred by a chill wind, the passing foot of mortality.	10

35	143	But Misk stood, the wind whipping his antennae, as though he were exalted.	10

2	107	The head of the kaiila bears two large eyes, one on each side, but these eyes are triply lidded, probably an adaptation to the environment which occasionally is wracked by severe storms of wind and dust; the adaptation, actually a transparent third lid, permits the animal to move as it wishes under ...	10
1	19	Even past me there thundered a lumbering herd of startled, short-trunked kailiauk, a stocky, awkward ruminant of the plains, tawny, wild, heavy, their haunches marked in red and brown bars, their wide heads bristling with a trident of horns; they had not stood and formed their circle, shes and young...	10
1	24	I had left the vicinity of the Sardar Range in the month of Se'Var, which in the northern hemisphere is a winter month, and had journeyed south for months; and had now come to what some call the Plains of Turia, others the Land of the Wagon Peoples, in the autumn of this hemisphere; there is, due ap...	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	60	Now there seemed to be fewer men and animals rushing past, scattered over the prairie; only the wind remained; and the fires in the distance, and the swelling, nearing roll of dust that drifted into the stained sky.	10
2	55	But now I could hear, carried on the wind blowing toward distant Turia, the bellowing of the bosks.	10
2	113	He was dressed much as the first man, except that no chain depended from his helmet, but his wind scarf was wrapped about his face.	10

3	115	The wind seemed to rise.	10
5	8	I heard a haruspex singing between the wagons; for a piece of meat he would read the wind and the grass; for a cup of wine the stars and the flight of birds; for a fat-bellied dinner the liver of a sleen or slave.	10

11	374	"But I shall wind them about with strings of diamonds—that those who see will know that your master can well afford the goods you will do without".	10

18	132	In a few moments the tarn spread his wings before the black wind and, caught in the blast, was hurled before the Dorna, and began, in dizzying circles, to climb in the wind and sleet.	10

13	313	We had had a fair wind for two days, which had slacked off yesterday evening.	10
13	317	We had made good time for a heavy ship, but then the wind had slacked.	10
13	328	"I note," I said, "the wind has slackened".	10
14	307	Accordingly the ram-ship most commonly sails only with a fair wind.	10
17	93	It was fall, and the wind was cold whipping across the water.	10
17	109	The wind was very cold now, and the Dorna shook in it, the windward waters striking at her hull.	10
17	134	It was the latter sail which, although it was unusual, the round ships were using for tacking; had they used either of the larger sails, with the sharp wind, they would have heeled dangerously toward the water, perhaps shipping water through the leeward thole ports.	10
17	173	Behind my second-wave ships, I saw, scattered in its long enveloping line stretching from horizon to horizon across Thassa, their small storm sails pounded by the wind, the third wave, that of the round ships.	10

17	312	I accepted a wind scarf from another man.	10
17	327	I wrapped the wind scarf about my face.	10
17	351	And then, suddenly, I gave a cry and jerked on the one-strap and the bird, by training and instinct, flung itself into the sleeting wind and began to climb the dark, running sky.	10

18	32	Meanwhile, the starboard oars, under the call of the oar-master, began swinging the vessel about, to bring her stern into the wind.	10
18	33	The wind struck the side of the hull and the ship heeled to leeward.	10
18	36	Then the wind was at the stern and the oar-master began his count, easing the ship ahead until the storm sail was caught by the blasts.	10
18	38	"Stroke!" called the oar-master, his cry almost lost in the sleet and wind.	10
18	40	The tiny storm sail, swollen with the black wind and sleet, tore at the yard and the brail ropes.	10
18	141	The bird could not fly a direct line to Port Kar, because of the wind, and we managed an oblique path, cutting away from the fleet.	10
18	142	From time to time the bird, tiring, its wings wet, cold, coated with sleet, would drop sickeningly downward, but then again it would beat its way on the level, half driven by the wind, half flying.	10
18	638	He must have brought the Venna and the Tela into the wind, cutting away even the storm sails, and risked the destruction of the two ships in the high sea, not to be driven from Port Kar, and then, when the storm had lulled, they had put about and raced for the harbor.	10

7	85	Tarnsmen, riders of the great tarns, called Brothers of the Wind, are masters of the open sky, fierce warriors whose battleground is the clouds and sky; they are not forest people; they do not care to stalk and hunt where, from the darkness of trees, from a canopy of foliage, they may meet suddenly,...	10
8	169	Far away, through the sky, from the east of Laura, following the forest line, there came a flight of tarnsmen, perhaps forty of them, mounted on the great, fierce, hawklike saddlebirds of Gor, the huge, swift, predatory, ferocious tarns, called Brothers of the Wind.	10
8	368	The wind driven by their pounding, snapping wings, with hurricanes of dust and small stones, could hurl a man from his feet.	10
8	526	There was only the laughter of the girls, the bubbling of the stream, the work, the blue sky and white clouds, the wind and the bending grass, clean air and, somewhere, the call of a tiny horned gim, the tiny purplish owl-like bird.	10
9	165	The wind was moving softly from my right.	10
11	1096	The element of the tarnsman is not the green glades, and the branches; it is the clouds, the saddle and the sky; his steed is the tarn, his field of battle, strewn with light and wind, higher than mountains, deeper than the sea, is the very sky itself.	10
12	619	I had heard only the sound, vague, from far off, like a myriad snappings, and shrill, wind-borne screams.	10

13	563	I was free! I put my head back and, standing feet spread, leaned backwards, with my hands spreading my hair in the wind.	10
13	564	I felt the wind lift it.	10
13	588	The grass rushed swiftly past below me, and I could not touch it with my feet, and then it fled from me, dropping away, and then suddenly, in the rushing air, as I twisted and turned, buffeted in the blasts of wind, a prisoner of the forces, the physics, of the braided leather rope and the accelerat...	10
13	615	There was a movement of the knife and the binding fiber whipped from my body and, in the rushing wind, the camisk began to tug, snapping away from me, and then it was high, about my throat, pulling at my neck, flapping and snapping.	10
13	619	My hair streaked in the wind.	10
13	721	I could feel the wind on my body.	10
13	723	My hair fled back in the wind, across his left thigh.	10
13	901	It had already stopped bleeding, the fierce wind having clotted the blood in a ragged line.	10
13	902	On the left side of his arm, running from the wound, there were several almost horizontal, reddish lines, where, but moments before, tiny trickles of blood, unable to flow downward, had been whipped backward by the wind.	10
