After the En-Kara fair I began the return journey with a stopover in Teletus. I wanted to meet Sir Abraham. He had told me that in the city of Teletus he was the head of the Scribe caste, and was very busy with his research work on the Gorean scripts, in his Scribe classes. 

city ​​of Teletus-port

When I arrived in Teletus I just had time to see him walking away with his faithful slave. I was told he had heard news of ancient writings in a village in the South and was leaving. I was lucky to meet Lady Eleonora, a Scribe, also a disciple of Abraham. She had her own large library on a small island not far away. I invited myself and followed her with interest and wrote an article about that large library.

oasis7palms

I made a portrait of that Scribe to add it to the Gorean gallery at the Oasis of the 7 Palms, I stayed there for a few more days hoping to meet L'Ubar or the Administrator, I only glimpsed the new Chief of the Scribes, he was hanging out in the Inn behind the fountain garden on the upper level, and honestly he didn't respond when I greeted him, at his Scribe school they don't teach greetings.

    

var-kor city

 

I left Teletus to stop in the city of Var-Kor. I had already been there for the Autumn Fair, and had even written an article about the city. Lady Kallis lived there and had become the Chief Scribe. I was very happy about this and stopped there, thinking of staying for a while.

 The city was always the same, perhaps too empty for how I remembered it with the fair crowded with traders and stalls, but I was there for Kallis and the rest didn't matter. 

Cartassa-oasis

(Kallis had been an old friend of mine from Cartassa, sister of Betty and Athena, and in Cartassa I fell in love with her, even though at that time, Sir Finthor was playing the cockerel with all the ladies, and in my opinion the reason for Kallis's refusal to become my companion was also determined by him, but as it happened, the slave Yi Yi was also his secret lover. Kallis, out of spite, told me that she wanted to become my companion, but Athena made her jealous by saying that I was meeting Yi Yi, and she ran away from Cartassa leaving me alone.)

  But then everything was cleared up and we went back to being best friends, but I continued to love her in silence, now after so many years we respect each other, I admire her for her tenacity in her work. 

She welcomed me with all the honors, inviting me to her office first and then showing me around the city, including the houses. She asked me if I wanted to stay with her at the Scribe Caste. She offered me a job as a Magistrate and would help me open a branch of my newspaper, "Gorean Moons."

I was tempted at first, but I had left the Oasis a long time ago and I had to update the ''Gorean's Gallery'' I had many portraits of famous people and slaves met in my last travels, so I left again assuring her that I would return to visit her soon.

Lady Selia-turmus

    I left Var-Kor, the next stop would be Turmus, Sir Nicholas Ell had promised to sell me a slave from my same time-zone, I was finally hoping to have someone to help me in the Palace and in the Gallery, maybe even for something else, I arrived in the city of Turmus, it was no longer what it used to be, when I lived there happily I was a Magistrate, I had the newspaper ''Turmus News'' and I had the house next to Sir Hember's Kennel, I was after him because he had a beautiful slave named Rose, I wanted to buy her, but one day I found no one in the Kennel anymore they had left, then Sir Nicholas arrived with his slaves and he had opened a new Kennel, I had met Sir Nick when we lived together in the city of Sais on the Olni river, then I lost track of him, I met him in a Court for a case, then in another city for a company ceremony, then I lost track of him again, until I found him again as a Slaver in Turmus.

Sir Noicholas Ell

I met him at the En-Kara fair, promising to visit him willingly, but as chance would have it, he was leaving while I was arriving. I stayed a few days, said goodbye to Lady Selia the administrator (Ubara), and left again.

city ​​of holnesk

  Next stop was the city of Honesk, on the other side of the river, to say goodbye to my friend Lady Babe the Ubara. I had spent some good times in that city, but I hate the winter with the cold and snow, and I left, but my friendship with Lady Babe remained over time. The city had changed a bit, they had built some new buildings and some flower beds in the large square. I didn't get off the ship, in fact I left again because there were some raids by the Panthers, and I'm staying away from the fighting after my beloved died in a fight in the black city.

    I wanted to stop in the city of Isfahan, but I decided to return to the Oasis of the Seven Palms. I had many things to do and to work on expanding the Gorean Gallery, the walls now full of characters. I would continue my travels as soon as possible....

 

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.

Scribe 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.
