L'INVERNO STA FINENDO
 

                                                                             CARTASSA

  I'm leaving the city of Venna for a new trip.
   

ELFI

My mother lady BB Arliss sent me a message saying: Ioi and your father sir Mith the builder have moved to a new village in the forest, he tells me that in ancient times that village was inhabited by the Elf tribe, a race surely imported from the planet land, which I met on my journey, little men with elongated ears who dressed in green, they lived in trees or in huts, in the most inaccessible forest

  I was very impressed with the new move of my adoptive parents, in the last few years they have moved so many places for my father's work as a builder, when my mother lived in Cartassa the city in the desert she lived safely alone, and worked as an Officer, but in the North she followed her husband, otherwise she wouldn't be able to survive without hunting, her age now doesn't allow it.   

 

 From Finnyrfjiord to Windermeer, then to Jasmine city, then to Filsborgfjiord, now in this new village under reconstruction.
   

  the Arliss Family once had many components, but gradually it left many components along the way, who going around the Planet took on new names, sometimes Lady Hannah Arliss my sister sends me messages just to say hello, she lives far from the cities in one remote village in the Sardar, at the foot of the mountains.
  

THENTIS MONICA HERMIT

 Of my brother Finthor after the fall of Cartassa, I have never heard from him again as well as Sir Bernhard my uncle, nor of Safina who becomes the companion of a warrior of the Combo tribe, and lady Mae with her now grown daughter, with a companion, also I have never heard from them again.
      When in the cities they arrive Adventurers, sooner or later the city falls, I have counted many falls for people who arrive and take over the lead by changing the rules,
 
   I am organizing my new trip to the North, I will make the first stop in Brundisium with its large port at the crossroads of many maritime traffics, coming from the North and South especially from the archipelago of Cos with its very good wine, and from the cities located on the banks of the great river Vosk, from Thentis which exports its precious beans from which the best balakwine is made.
 

OLNI CON LADY BRJIANA

   I will go up the Vosk to the river thentis, then the river Olni to the great and honored city of Olni of which I have the honor to have been a part first as a pupil of lady Janette(rip) and lady Lucy, then as a scribe and Magistrate, I have lived there the best years of my life, then when I left Lady Kara Serin my courtner, she loved her farm more than having a family, I left Olni going down the river Vosk I stopped some time in Port Kar, the city of the twelve Captains, all criminals.

 I had a job as a lawyer but I had few clients, so I left, went down the Thassa and stopped at the island of Landa in the south, the city with the golden domes, it was there that I met sir Youroki, and there I fell in love with lady Moon, the Pysichian, me while the preparations for our Company Ceremony were in full swing. we were attacked first by the Panthers and while the warriors chased them in the forest The Torvie warriors riding their larls invaded the city and captured the women taking them away, now the city was destroyed and I left first for Shendi and then with a caravan I reached Cartassa... ...........

 LATEST ADVENTURES OF THE EMIR

 

 

Many events have happened lately, the beautiful Nani, do you remember the Panther who worked in the tavern in Hammersgaard for love of Eric the tavern keeper?, she sent me a message, with a merchant from the North, she tells me that the new village has been rebuilt in new land, safer, protected by high mountains, the village overlooks a small gulf so it becomes difficult to attack it, he tells me that at the port sir Derek a great warrior watches day and night who comes and who goes, with his men.
 

 He also told me that Tania the other Panther is fine and she too helped in the reconstruction, and my house will soon be ready, they always keep my house ready.
  

 I admire those women who stop at nothing, even when all seems lost, they start over and live by hunting and fighting for their lives and their freedom.
   

 I think that as soon as spring arrives and the snows in the North melt, I will organize a trip to that new village and celebrate the Spring Solstice with them.
  

 In the city of Venna where I currently live, events change quickly, they come from everywhere, you know when word of a new great opportunity spreads, everyone tries to grab their own space to demonstrate that they are great.
    

  The other day a large ship arrived in the port, everyone ran curious, I too walked slowly as usual towards the gate, from that ship a delegation from the great city of Brundisium got off, I know I have been there a few times from my travels, for that it is a large port of connection between the North and the South and the arrival point of the ships that descend the Vosk river, from there with the caravans I ventured first into the Scendi forest to then cross the Thahari desert and arrive at my Cartassa.

   I have always loved as I loved the citizens, Lady Safina, Lady Mae, her daughter, Sir Bernhard my chaste leader, my brother Finthor, the fair, and the fair slaves Athena, and YiYi, and the fair lady Jinny, whom I have always loved and who became my companion for some time before the city fell and we each escaped to different destinations, then I met her in the city of Victoria but after a few days she left, texting me, saying she lived in Victoria nna, and I joined her but also from here she left for a new destination, for a better job and I stayed here alone.
   

  Even though the city is very large with many inhabitants, it is difficult for me, coming from the north, to integrate with their laws and their way of doing things, and after a few minor mishaps at work I decided to move to the lakeside residence and relax and take a proper decision on what to do, I am thinking of returning to my Oasis of the seven palm trees, I would like to find my people and my friends and the people who love me, now here in the city there are two other magistrates, indeed a Magistrate and a Chief Magistrate appointed from sir Argos, and guess who it is....and the Magistrate who landed on the big ship, with the Brundisium delegation, came for a military alliance, and now has deserted, has taken Venna citizenship and the Scribe chief caste, his friend appointed him in turn head of the Magistrates......
  

 Now I'm here I look at the lake sparkling in the morning sun I look at the geese and swans gliding lightly on the water and the fish jumping far away....

I have been in the city of Venna for a long time now, after the fall of Victoria, I visited some cities where presumably I could find my slave Fahima kidnapped by sir Timmer the player of the Tsar, they told me during the trip that some merchants had seen him in port Nykus a city rebuilt by many citizens of Victoria, who slowly restored it to its former glory, but if they had brought down Victoria how could they revive another? mystery.
    Arriving in that quite beautiful and well-built city with a nice port, I met old Lielar, whom I had met in a tavern. and he told me that there was going to be the Kajiras dance festival, and I advise you to wait for a Hand to attend and maybe who knows, maybe I would even meet the criminal thief and my slave girl whom I had paid two piastres of silver.
     Naturally he had been right and one morning I glimpsed the two of them at the port, but I didn't have time to call the guards that they, with the help of some citizens who lived with them in Victoria, managed to vanish into thin air.
     On my way back North to Hammersgaard, I stopped at a town called Northern light bay-Kasra, so I decided to stop for a few days and have a look around.
I discovered that they were two neighboring cities, divided by high walls, but the port was that of Southern ligth, so I presented myself to the Scribes who assigned me lodgings,
I attended a few of their meetings in the large tea room on the terrace of the scribes' palace, but nothing important, another very closed and empty city.
      a few days later I decided to visit the city of Kasra. I went through the small door that led to their houses that I had never seen in any area of the planet, incomprehensible and funny houses, I approached the small square where some citizens were gathered including the Administrator and the Commander, a sour and mean woman, I he said clearly that I was not welcome, so I returned to Nothern, in the tavern they told me that my old companion Brjiana was a close friend of the Commander and she had just arrived to put up the newsstand of the newspaper, once mine, and I had not found any traces of Fahima I set out for Hammersgaard, to meet my friend Nani, but to my amazement they had all left for a new safer land and to rebuild their village,
    Winter was upon us and the snow would block everything, I decided to return to Cartassa, we disembarked at Brundi and with a caravan we first entered the Shendi forest and then the Thahari desert, and on the way we stopped at the city of Venna where still alive and working as a magistrate, I learned in Venna that Cartassa had been destroyed, I met Jinny the Scribe my old friend who after a few days left as Ambassador but never came back.....
    I often think of my Oasis where I left her heart and where one day I will join her, not before having found my brother Orlando, I promised it to my father on his deathbed ..

1ST PLENARY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VENNA
06-02-2023(Earth time)

The first council of the city took place in the great hall inside the central palace of the Court.In the presence of the administrator Sir Minus, the Nameless Initiate, HoC Srcribe Sir Argos, HoC Si Edric, Hoc Sir Jakis, HoC of the builders was absent Sir Argos had the delegation, and many representatives of the lower castes and the entire population.

After the welcome presentation by Sir Minus. The nameless Initiate took the floor assuring that from now on the Temple will always be open, at each Hand we will have a public function, with the blessing and the whole population is invited.
 

In order of caste everyone took the floor ensuring the maximum commitment in the city, then when it seemed everything was over the HoC sir Edri of doctors took the floor saying he wanted to appoint as an assistant a woman named Hana, once she was a slave, but now become free and apprentice healer I myself as a Magistrate with Sir Argos we filled out the certificate,  but this aroused the opposition of both Sir Argos and the old doctor born in the north, but worked in many cities as a physician and healer, and after a long discussion, on the advice of the nameless initiate it was decided that the woman should finish the apprenticeship and then take an examination that is not biased,  Although she has shown to have good healing skills by treating a wounded man stabbed in the back.
 

-There has been much discussion about the role of women and their work, but sometimes we lose sight of what are the rules at the foundations of Gor, namely "the woman and free until the man decides that it is" even if in recent years many things have changed but the rules of Venna that provide not to appoint women in key roles as Sir Argos hopes that it is and that also the Initiate to reiterate,  this is confirmed by the fact that if a woman becomes a companion of a scribe she takes his caste, but she will never have an important assignment other than to work as an assistant or in the archive or to have an office in the Kennel palace for the registration of slaves.
 

I have recently seen slaves arrive in the city who after a few days have become free with slaves in tow, protected by warriors, and slaves who do not have adequate preparation and who do not respect the main bases, in the sense that they do not greet the free passing by, some do not kneel and sometimes face discussions as if they were free.
But it is not a problem of Venna, almost everywhere the same happens, in my travels I have seen many impossible situations for the good functioning of the city.
 

Another simple rule is this: if someone sees strange things of stealthy men who wander around or who do outlaw actions, they must report the incident to the guards who in turn warn the commander who will then report  to the Magistrato to issue an arrest warrant or to promote investigations, no one can take initiatives to safeguard their health and safety of the city.
    For further developments we will talk about it at the next edition

       THE PANI CULTURE

 A PROUD PEOPLE 

 

A brief introduction (Mine is not meant to be a lesson or an account taken from books, but only to confirm the existence of a great people living in the northern forest hundreds and hundreds of Pasang, from the settlements of the peoples of the planet Gor, the aphorisms of Nodachi-Pani-Swordsman of Gor)

 The Loaves that surely descend from the people of Japan from planet Earth, they dress with traditional costumes but inspired by the colors of the castes even if different, the men wear White-Gray-Brown clothes depending on the degree of nobility, they have shaved hair with a ponytail tied behind the nape their culture with very distant roots, it is said that they already existed 200,000 years ago, although on Gor they have their own culture and their own ways of life, but the Pani culture refers to the Heian period, of medieval Japan.

     The loaves are structured in a different way from the Gorean one but in some things they may resemble them, even if they have laws and behaviors that in Gor we can find them in some very evolved scribes, this is the reason why they consider all other peoples inferior to them.

 The Pani use the Bushido code in their culture and way of life, and those who do not respect this code are not worthy of belonging to their lineage, they adhere to these principles that I now list: 

 Sincerity-Responsibility-Frugality-Courtesy-Tranquility-Compassion-Righteousness-CoraggiHeroic-Benevolence-Respect-Honor-Loyal-Wisdom-Duty 

 Unlike the Goreans the Pani are very tall men like our Tuchuc, ruthless fighters who take no prisoners and when they kill an enemy they cut off his head and hang it on his belt as trophies, each warrior tames a Larl as a puppy and teach him to obey certain orders and use them to fight and reach enemy villages,   The most skilled warriors in sword fighting are called ''Brother of the Blade.

 In the hierarchies of the loaves the lords are called Dayno, while a rich man who owns a lot of land and slaves is called Shogun, while the infantrymen used in battles are  called Ashigaru,  very usual to find small cute animals called Saru that  vaguely resemble small monkeys without tails, type of toy that children use to have fun.

Their writing is formed by Gorean Kanji letters, although sometimes they use incomprehensible signs, but in Gor there are many dialects that are sometimes also incomprehensible  .

LUELAR

 

  What symbolizes the honor of the Loaves and suicide called Seppuku, every warrior defeated in war in combat has lost honor and can a specific ceremony practice personal suicide helped by a slave (as opposed to what we use to call KaraKiri )

 Women are usually used as housewife and mother if they live with mates and is considered inferior as in the old Gorean culture, while girls in their traditional clothes often perform dances of their old culture with ancient musical instruments, and when they go to the baths men are blindfolded out of respect.

    To want to write about the Loaves and their culture would not be enough to havean entire library full of Scrool, certainly then everyone canread up on their own or looking in our library I wrote only hints to make known this ancient people

                                                           RETURN TO HAMMERSGAARD

 

 The village of Hammersgaard has been rebuilt and soon all the old inhabitants will be able to return to their homes.
 

 It wasn't easy after the terrible storm that destroyed all the huts and the great hall but the beautiful Nani with her builders worked hard to make the Viking village flourish despite the snow that covers most of the area.
   

   Many ships have already arrived bringing the building materials and everything needed to restart the village.
 

   On the hills after the plain, the panthers' village is more than ever active and protected by the women warriors.
  

  Anyone who wants to return or become a citizen can go up the thassa sea and arrive at Hammersgaad fiord you will be welcomed with sympathy and friendship
      thank you

Love

There is nothing more beautiful

waking up in the morning, looking at the world

from the window of your room

You reach out and find her, her body

 

You feel safe, your love and with you

You have traveled through time, you have met a thousand women

some beautiful, others less so, you looked in the eyes of all

love,

 

when you were ready to grab it

it slipped away every time, like sand in your hands.

 

You deluded yourself that you were happy, but you were sad in your heart

How many names in the memories, many perhaps too many

Who knows what the woman of your life could have been

 

You always think about it, when sitting by the sea

You look at the horizon, looking in the clouds

a shape that looks like her, a face

the dream, mirrored in the blue of the sea,

 

 You look for it in the faces of the girls who pass by you

in the wind, in the rain, in infinity

but the dream of your life now and there, you touch it

She sleeps happily, you don't wake her up, you like to look at her

 

You are afraid to break the spell, to return to reality

Caress her face, a smile lights her up in her sleep

and you think, and happy too, .... is love
