Equatorial Rain Forests or "Jungles of Schendi" ~ They cover thousands of square pasangs on the equator, near the city of Schendi, bordered on the west by Thassa. Home of the "great equatorial lakes" of Gor. There are many villages in the jungles and most of their inhabitants do not speak Gorean, instead speaking a number of different inland dialects. Fishing is a major source of livelihood for many. Talunas, pygmies and cannibals also inhabit the jungles, as well as a myriad of wildlife.
Food Plains: Plains located between the Kamba River and the Nyoka, northwest of Lake Ushindi.
Hrimgar Mountains ~ Hrimgar means "Barrier" mountains. It is really two mountain chains. Axe Glacier lies in a valley between them. There are many passes in these mountains. One such is called the pass of Tancred because that is where the herd passes through. These mountains are both east and north of Torvaldsland.
Kassar ~ One of the four tribes of Wagon Peoples, a nomadic culture of the plains outside Turia (Nomads of Gor).
Kataii ~ One of the four tribes of Wagon Peoples, a nomadic culture of the plains outside Turia (Nomads of Gor).
Margin of Desolation ~Originally a barrier of destroyed lands, later grown back over but still retaining its name. (Tarnsman of Gor)
Northern Forests ~ A region dotted with small trade & lumber towns. A land whose most infamous inhabitants are the Panther Girls, women that are free not by the structures of citified Gorean etiquette but who remain free by the stealth of their wits in the wilderness. Trade among the northern lumber towns, roaming hunters, and Panther Girls sustain the economy in this wild region. (Captive of Gor & Hunters of Gor)
Paravici ~ One of the four tribes of Wagon Peoples, a nomadic culture of the plains outside Turia (Nomads of Gor).
Ta-Thassa Mountains: Large mountain range described as "sub-equatorial," located in Gor's southern hemisphere, at the shores of Thassa.
Tahari Desert ~ Located southeast of Ar, below the eastern foothills of the Voltai, and to the south is the Tahari, with Tor at its northwest corner. It is generally rocky and hilly, save in the dune country. It is almost constantly windblown by a hot wind and waterless, although there are oases fed from underground rivers flowing southeast from the Voltai range. The water erupts in oases springs or is reached by deep well, down to two hundred feet. The day temperatures in the shade are 120 degrees. The oasis communities number from a hundred to thousands of people and are often hundreds of pasangs apart from each other. They depend on caravans for their needs. Tahari Salt Flats ~ ("The Salt Districts") Several districts of the Tahari Desert where salt is produced, widely separated in the midst of dune country located between the Wastes.
Tor ~ Located far southeast of Ar and far north of Turia, this city lies in the northwest corner of the Tahari, surrounded by hundreds of communities, some hundreds of pasangs apart. The area to west of Tor is occupied and widely inhabited. The city is built in concentric circles broken by numerous, narrow crooked streets. It is an opulent city of the desert, well known for its splendors, comforts and pleasures. It is also the principal supply point for the oases communities of the Wastes. The buildings are of mud brick, covered with colored, often flaking, plaster. The buildings are rarely more than four stories high. Thousands of caravan merchants are headquartered here and much of the city is organized to support the caravan trade.
Torvaldsberg ~ A large mountain in northern Torvaldsland and west of Thassa.
Tuchuk ~ One of the four tribes of Wagon Peoples, a nomadic culture of the plains outside Turia (Nomads of Gor).
Wastelands ~ Gor's famed desert region ~ “The area, in extent, east of Tor, was hundreds of pasangs in depth, and perhaps thousands in length. The Gorean expression for this area simply means the Wastes, or the Emptiness. It is a vast area, and generally rocky, and hilly, save in the dune country. It is almost constantly windblown and almost waterless. In areas it has been centuries between rains. Its oases are fed from underground rivers flowing southeastward from the Voltai slopes. The water, seeping underground, eventually, in places, due to rock formation, erupts in oasis springs, or, more usually, is reached by deep wells, some of them more than two hundred feet deep. It takes more than a hundred and fifty years for some of this water to make the underground journey, seeping hundreds of feet at times beneath the dry surface, moving only a few miles a year, to reach the eases. Diurnal air temperatures in the shade are commonly in the range of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Surface temperature, diurnally, is, of course, much higher in the dune country, by day, if one were so unwise as to go barefoot, the bright sand would quickly cripple a man, abraiding and burning the flesh from his feet in a matter of hours." (Tribesmen of Gor, chapter 1)
