In the Kingdom of Mkalvania: Dream or Reality?
A journey to a lost world within the great forest
I had met Sir Mkail Jun at the Ship Rock fair; we exchanged thoughts and tales of our travels. Before we went our separate ways, he invited me to his Kingdom—a hidden place called Mkalvania—telling me that a great festival was soon to take place and that he and his people would be delighted to have me as a guest.

With no major events happening elsewhere on Gor, I decided to follow the map Sir Mkail had given me and make my way to that distant location. I was already accustomed to the hardships of travel—visiting rugged, isolated areas often devoid of roads or trails—but this time, the task before me was to traverse the forest and reach the great kingdom.
After a long journey spent carefully rationing food and water, the forest finally began to thin. In the distance, hills came into view; a wisp of smoke rose from one of them toward the sky—a sure sign of life, and perhaps the village itself. I pressed on until I reached the hill, where a great castle rose majestically from the summit, while at its foot, in the valley, lay a large village complete with a temple and sites dedicated to various cults.
I was stopped by a mounted patrol; they rode not our native *kailla*, but powerful steeds. The knights questioned me about my origins and destination, and after I explained my friendship with Sir Mkail, they escorted me to the foot of the castle. A multitude of people crowded the great square; many were dancing and waving banners, while naked slave girls danced in the center to the applause of the surrounding throng. Sir Mkail welcomed me with full honors, inviting me to watch the fireworks display in the sky and the dancing in the square. In the meantime, I captured many portraits of the local men and women, as well as glimpses of the scenery in this unknown realm.
I have not yet had the chance to visit the castle or speak with the Duchess; I will do so after resting from my long journey. For now, I am sharing portraits of the citizens below and look forward to seeing you in the next article.
