Present new travel in the Thahari desert  

Lady Sabayna sent me a message informing me of the meeting at the Salt Road oases; as Pasha of the Seven Palms Oasis, I was invited.

I had never been to that area of ​​the Tahari Desert, much less to the village called Kurtzal. I had heard about it from merchants, but had never happened to pass through them in my travels.

I was very surprised to see the beauty of its buildings, the crowds of residents crowding the main street, where the merchants and traders displayed their wares.

Lady Sabayna was waiting for me at the main entrance and offered to be my guide, so I could explore the village before the meeting that would take place that afternoon.

We toured that beautiful place in the great desert. I will include the sketches I drew to demonstrate its beauty, and I hope you will all visit it to find excellent deals. Below I will provide the coordinates for reaching the "Village of Kurtzal."

 OLD MEMORIES

The days in Thentis slipped by like the river that ran through its territory and that gives it its name. I didn't have a good relationship with Monica, she used her slaves to get more votes at the caste meetings. Many times I was on the verge of becoming the Scribe Caste leader, but in the end she won with her slaves disguised as Freemen.

 At that time I had a class for Scribes, while I was carrying out the work of Magistrate, my students Lady Brjiana, and the slave Shaon to whom I had given freedom studied with dedication, often Sir Knigth the Commander of the guards came to the small square outside my office there were tables, we drank a cup of Black Wine together, sometimes delegations arrived from far away and I welcomed them, if I was free otherwise Lady Monica who had the function of temporary Administrator did it.

LADY MONICA HERMIT

After Brjiana had achieved her Scribe degree, I had a lot of time on my hands, there were no wars and everything was quiet, Thentis was difficult to reach, it was one of the last cities before reaching the Sardar mountains, the Pilgrims who went to the sanctuary rather than cross the forest, we deviated through the city of TI, to reach the city of Tarnwald, a safe path, after Thentis only mountains inaccessible to the Caravans.

LIFE IN THENTIS

So we decided to publish a newspaper to let Planet Gor know the latest news about the cities, villages and people. We didn't have many ideas, but with hard work and Brjiana's help, we managed to get the first issue published. It was called the Gazette of Gor and was made up of articles about our life in Gor and our travel experiences. But the city was too isolated and there was no way to get many readers. We had to wait for the fairs to advertise it. After much discussion with her, we decided to go on a promotional trip to the major cities. I took advantage of this opportunity. 

THE CITY OF THENTIS

 of the vote after yet another disappointment, Monica had an old Ambassador who was now retired elected as Head of the Caste, so that she could manipulate him.

LADY MALENA

We left with my ship, the first stop was the city of TI, then a trip to the city of Olni where Lady Lucy welcomed us with affection, then the next stop Lara a beautiful new and clean city then we went down the river to the Wosk and from there we took the tributary river Vert to reach the great Venna, we stayed a few Mano there then we left happily for the newspaper which had achieved great results.

I really wanted to visit the great AR, but they told me it was at war with the other cities, and we decided to take the road to Holmesk. There I would meet Lady Babe. We stayed for a few Pasang, then we left for the new city of ARstation. It wasn't a good choice, but in the meantime we had some nice days there too. We took the ship again and went down the Wosk River. There were some towns and villages on the banks, but we preferred to stop in the great city of Jasmine. My only niece, Lady Dara, lived there. She welcomed us enthusiastically, and we stayed there for a few hours.

CITY OF PORT KAR

 I left happily, the next stop was the city of Port Victoria, there I met my friend the blacksmith Sir Sven, and I stayed for some time working as a Magistrate and competing to become the Chief Scribe Caste, 

But one night the Pirates arrived with their ships and attacked the city and destroyed it, we escaped into the forest then took the ship again for the next destination, the city of Turmus, at that time Turmus was a large fortress with a very large castle, from the port you accessed the square then the various stairs to reach the buildings, in that city I met for the first time Sir Nicholas Eel, Lady Sable and the slaver Sir Hermes, who I would later meet again in the city of Varn, where he was councilor

PORT OF KAR

 of the administrator sir Varn, Turmus was a large city, it had many Scribes, but almost all women, and when I meet women I run away, so after a year Gor we left again, I would have stopped at the city of Port Kar, while Brjiana would have continued to Brundisium and then reach the rebuilt Cartassa oasis, there was still lady Safina and lady Mae, I loved those women very much.

KAR

I remembered Port Kar as a dirty, ugly city with many rotting walkways connecting the houses on the lagoon after the port. When I lived there, I was afraid to reach my house at the end of the main road; the old walkways were dangerous, and the URTs were the masters of those canals. Now the city was much cleaner; the ship captains had renovated everything and created good roads with safe bridges. Even the Caste Tower, once dirty and gloomy, was now a sparkling white. I liked that city; I took lovely walks outside the walls towards the hills.

Meanwhile, Brjiana arrived at the Cartassa oasis and rented a piece of sandy land where we would build our first Oasis of seven palms, so after receiving the message I set off on that new adventure.......

  LADY ELYSA LIBRERY 

2° knowledge

A great reality unknown to many, the work of a great woman committed to spreading Gorean culture. I'm happy to have met her. In Gor, there are few who truly commit themselves to knowledge and dissemination. I met Lady Elisa in the city of Teletus. I had gone to meet Sir Abraham, but he had already left to take up another position in a new city. While I was in the garden in front of the INN, I saw her sitting reading. I greeted her, even though she was initially rather skeptical and even frightened by my presence. But after a long conversation, we became friends—an honor that makes me proud.

Below, I'll post some photos of the large bookstore, and a note she gave me to help people better understand her great work. Thanks to those who read and visit the bookstore. I'll also include the Landmark route to get there.

Welcome to The Library of Second Knowledge!

I've built this resource as a labor of love for our Gorean roleplaying community here in Second Life. What started as my own collection of research notes has grown into what I hope is a valuable library for anyone wanting to dive deeper into the world John Norman created. Everything here is sourced directly from the books themselves—you'll find quotes carefully documented with book title, edition, and page number, so you can verify anything you need or explore further on your own. 

I've organized it all by subject matter to make finding what you need as easy as possible, from the practical (like what Goreans eat and drink) to the cultural (caste codes and customs) to the fascinating details that bring this world to life. In the lounge area, you'll also find a couple of bookcases where I've gathered out-of-character commentary and various discussions of Gorean philosophy for those interested in further exploration.

If you're looking for something specific that you don't see on the shelves, please don't hesitate to ask! I offer custom research support for anyone with questions about words, topics, or details not yet covered in the library. Just send me a notecard or IM, and I'll dig into the books to find what you're looking for. That's what The Library of Second Knowledge is all about—helping us all learn and grow in our understanding of Gor.

I listened intently, knowing that the girl could, even if of High Caste, understand little of what had happened to her. Those of the High Castes of Gor are permitted by the Priest-Kings only the Second Knowledge, and those of the lower castes are permitted only the more rudimentary First Knowledge. I had speculated that there would be a Third Knowledge, that reserved for Priest-Kings, and the girl's account seemed to justify this conjecture.

 RETURN TO HAMMERSGAARD

​​THE STORY OF NANI THE PANTHER

After the end of the Kajires festival we laboriously continued the journey back to the village of Hammersgaard, leaving the problem of little Björn, our friend Nani's son, whom I had discovered as a panther and for whom I am now in limbo, I had left in abeyance . She lives in her camp with her sisters who help her in the constant search for the baby.

    We arrived in the village very tired, my sweet Bryjana and I, and rested for a few days in a hut provided to us by our friend Sir Edu, the innkeeper. I wanted to rearrange my ideas so I started asking for information, nobody knew anything, many didn't even know Nani. One morning a trader on the docks told me he had seen them in a panther field trading pelts for guns and wine. He made me a fairly detailed map of the area the village is in, so I left Bryjana in the village with a few trusty guards and went into this forest that was dangerous for us men.

  After a few days of hiking among hills and valleys, we finally saw from a height where we saw a plume of smoke rising towards the sky. We headed in that direction, making sure to watch our backs, but the unpredictable panthers came from everywhere until they captured us. They have been known to capture males to use to fertilize females and then conceive and have daughters for the continuation of their breed.

 I showed who seemed to be their leader and was the best armed woman of all my judges' badges and proved that I knew Nani and her old companion Edu. Once in the village they locked us in a large guarded tent until the panther party, led by our friend Nani, returned from a hunt near a village and took three captured males who they would use as stallions for their insemination. the barren were used as slaves for cooking or for forced labor in the forest.

   She was pleased to meet me, I hadn't seen her for a while, and I remembered that she was dressed as a lady in long dresses, while now, half-naked, covered in furs and armed to the teeth, she is another woman is determined and strong-willed to do whatever it takes to find her little Björn. In the evening, as I sat with them in a circle around the fire where some men were roasting Tarsk's meat, I asked Nani to tell me her story, she agreed after some hesitation to tell me!!

THE STORY OF NANI 

I was born in a panther camp in the forest not far from the village of Hammersgaard, in the great north of the planet, we were three sisters, very happy, from an early age they taught us to hunt and fight, It was only a short time in where my sisters and I could play in the meadows with other friends, hunt a little Urt or a little newborn Tarsk, my older sisters taught me the art of the staff and everything else. All was well, but the day of the moon ceremony was approaching, for us virgins it would have been the moment to make sacrifices to the gods for our fertility and that of our camp. The ceremony consists of catching several men to crucify them and us virgins dancing wildly around them, a way of worshiping our God and asking for fertility for women, our fields and our animals. So the males are used one by one, hoping that they will fertilize the females and fill the field with new females, while the males are destined to become slaves. My sisters and I got pregnant and my little Björn was about to be born, but since there were four men and they all used me, I don't know exactly who my baby's father is now. By now I knew I was pregnant, now the problem was to enter the village without arousing suspicion, otherwise they would have punished and enslaved me, the law punishes pregnant women without a partner. At this point a new baker named Edu came along who fell in love with my beauty and asked the tall Jarl to woo me, received approval that he started dating me but soon he realized I was pregnant and I was had to tell him that I was expecting a child. For his great love, he pretended to be the father until Björn was born. I leave Edu after some time, his character as a Gorean male prevented him from living with a woman who had a child with another, so I left everything in Hammergaard and went back to the camp to my sisters, but they didn't want the little one 'a boy who grew up with them.' They would put him with the slaves. One day when I was in Hammersgaard, a great Jarl from a nearby village came with his 1st Berserker named Spoldar, both wild and evil and very cruel men. When he saw me he fell in love with me, I worked in Edu's tavern hoping that he, Edu, would take me back sooner or later. The foreign Jarl wanted me for himself and in order not to create friction with our village Jarl he demanded that I take his Berserker as a companion and as soon as I arrive at his village take me with him, when I refused he kidnapped my child in an attempt to escape, but the villagers stopped him at the quay and killed him, but in the meantime, Spoldark had escaped into the forest with my little boy without leaving a trace. Edu has confessed to me that he has birthmarks on his body which he would accept if they matched those of the child, and every day I go hunting for men who use them in hopes of finding the berserker, who escapes with my Björn. Now I want every man I catch to give at least six children or I'll kill him, but only to get revenge on the men who made me suffer. Of course, in the village of Hammersgaard, they don't know that I'm a panther, and I often go back there and live in a hut meant for free women, hoping that one day I'll hear from Björn.
