Finding Port Kar in the books
None of this is "general gorean" information that *might* or might not relate to Port Kar. Things taken from a scene in a book about Tharna or Treve or any other place on Gor....*may* or may NOT be applicable in Port Kar. These are taken only from studies of the parts of the books that take place IN Port Kar. Or specifically mention Port Kar in the quote. Sometimes we get lucky, and John Norman states unequivocably that X happened in Port Kar... or Y did NOT happen in Port Kar. For the rest, we need to examine the scenes throughout the books that happen in Port Kar. Port Kar, as seen in many descriptions and quotes, has quite a flavor all her own. She goes her own way. She does as she pleases. And it doesn't always concur with quotes tossed about from other parts of the books :) We have each chosen to come here, to spend our time in THIS city, the city of Port Kar. But if we do not consider the true flavor of Port Kar, and each city on Gor individually actually, then we might as well all just roleplay in one big "Gor" room ~smiles~ Besides Book 6, Raiders, which all think of as THE book of Port Kar, below are the books and chapters which also take place in Port Kar: 7 Captives - Chapters 17 & 18 8 Hunters - Chapter 1 9 Marauders - Chapter 1 10 Tribesmen - Chapters 1 & 25 12 Beasts - Chapters 1, 2, & 5 13 Explorers - Chapters 1, 2, 3, & 4 17 Savages - Chapters 1 & 2 20 Players - Chapters 1 & 2 General Description of Port Kar The Great Hall Common Scenes around Port Kar Ships and Boats of Port Kar - Incomplete One Night in the Council of Captain's Scribes in Action, in Port Kar The Arsenal & Named Locations Commerce in Port Kar Descriptions of Captain's Holdings Plots & Intrigues of Port Kar Exceptions to the Rule on Gor A Victory Feast Secret Messages slaves of Port Kar Men of Port Kar Free Women of Port Kar How Others of Gor See those of Port Kar gorean_librarian@yahoo.com
