New Journey

The tarn cries before dawn. I stand at the gate of my home, the palisade dark against the grey sky. Behind me, the hearth smoke still rises from the hall where my father sleeps. Before me, the road winds down to the river, and beyond it, the wide world of Gor. My pack is light: a short sword, a shield, dried bosk meat, a waterskin, and the small, smooth stone I carried from the river as a boy.…

Ven’dara Wine Festival

The banners of Ven'dara hang heavy in the late summer air, gold and deep crimson, snapping above the Cylinder of Wine. It is the Festival of the First Pressing, and the great plaza before the Ubar's palace has become a sea of tunics, and laughter. Long trestle tables groan under skins and amphorae, and the scent of crushed ta-grapes, roast tarsk, and paga-spice rolls through the crowd. Musicians…

The Tarsk Hunt

Tal, Ortossi of Ven'dara. The mists hang low over the marshes beyond the Olni, and the tarsk have been rooting in the black mud since dawn. Your kaiila is saddled, your spear is sharp, and two guards from the Ven'dara hold wait at the gate with hunting sleen on leash. Do you wish to ride out now as Ubar, with horn and retinue, or go quiet and alone, tracker style, belly low in the reeds? The t…

Travel To the Ice Land

I am Ortossi, Ubar of Ven'dara. Ven'dara stands high-walled and proud on the edge of the northern trade routes, her banners of crimson and steel snapping above the gate towers. For twenty winters I have held the Chair, by sword and by will. The Home Stone is secure. The city thrives. Now I leave it. Word has come from the north - beyond the Barrens, beyond the last outposts of the Wagon People…
