Large Cities of Gor

Ar: ~ The oldest city on Gor. The largest and often considered the most civilized. Ar is a few days march south of the Vosk River. (Tarnsman of Gor). A massive walled city of thousands of lofty cylinders, spires, towers, lights, and high bridges lit by lanterns connecting many of the towers. Surrounded by great walls, it's great Gate opens onto the Viktel Aria and there are forty other gates as well. Formerly the seat of the Empire of Ar, it is located on "the plains" of central Gor, between the Vosk River and Cartius River and between the Voltai Mts. and Thassa.

Lara ~A walled city located at the confluence of the Olni River and the Vosk River. (Rogue of Gor) Located at the juncture of Vosk and Olni Rivers, on the southern bank of Olni and the northern bank of the Vosk. This city is part of the Salerian Confederation.

Tharna: A city in the northern hemisphere, far northeast of Corcyrus. Tharna owns many valuable silver mines and is sometimes called the City of Silver. This city was once ruled by a Tatrix and women dominated. A revolution came about though and changed everything, now, there are very few free women in Tharna. All Tharnan men have 2 yellow cords about 18 inches long, commonly worn in their belt. These cords are presented to them as youth's as part of the Home Stone ceremony. They represent the mastery of men, and are suitable for binding a female hand and foot. In the same ceremony, young women are brought into the presence of the Home Stone, though they are not allowed to kiss it as do the men. They are stripped, collared, and bound by the young men. By virture of this ceremony, the females are now counted as slave.

Thentis ~ A mountain city well known for its tarns and a major trading power of the northern inland areas. (Priest-Kings of Gor & Assassin of Gor)

Torvaldsland ~ northwest up the coast from the Vosk delta. Torvaldsland is a cruel, harsh, and rocky land with little arable soil, therefore good soil is rare and highly prized. Though not treeless, it is a bleak land and since Ka-la-na and temwood cannot grow there it is very valuable. The men are inured to the cold, accustomed to war and the labor of the oar. They are raised from boyhood on steep, isolated farms near the sea. They hold to old gods, like Odin and Thor and are much like the Vikings of Earth.

Treve ~ The most infamous mountain fortress is Treve -- that bandit city under the leadership of the well-known Rask of Treve. It lies somewhere above Ar, well beyond the Fulvian Foothills as the Voltai Range is known where it slopes down upon Ar. In addition to its craggy defense granted by nature, the exact location of the city is unknown to outsiders. (Captive of Gor)
