Cartius, River of
Tell me
what you know of the Cartius," he said. "It is an important
subequatorial waterway," I said. "It flows west by northwest, entering
the rain forests and emptying into Lake Ushindi, which lake is drained
by the Kamba and the Nyoka rivers....Explorers

Clearchus, Forest of
As
rumor has it, Clearchus was a famous brigand of some two centuries ago
who decided to legitimize and regularize his brigandage. He proclaimed
his area of operations a ubarate, proclaimed himself its ubar, and then
proceeded to impose taxes and levy tolls. Interestingly enough, in time,
several cities accorded this ubarate diplomatic recognition, generally
in return for concessions on the taxes and tolls. Finally a large force
of mercenaries, in the hire of the merchant caste, in a campaign that
lasted several months, put an end to the spurious reign of Clearchus,
driving him from the forest and scattering his men....Players

Clearchus, Road of
We were some two hundred pasangs west of the fairgrounds, at the edge of
the woods of Clearchus, just off the road of Clearchus. I had traveled
for the last few days in the vicinity of the troupe of Boots, but not
really with it. Players of Gor, page

Corcyrus
"Corcyrus," said the girl, "is
south of the Vosk. It is southwest of the city of Ar. It lies to the
east and somewhat north of Argentum." Kajira
of Gor Pg 40
Two aqueducts now brought fresh water to Torcadino from more than a
hundred pasangs away, one from the Issus, a northwestwardly flowing
tributary of the Vosk, and the other from the springs in the Hills of
Eteocles, southwest of Corcyrus....Mercenaries

Cos
...The
grapes were purple and, I suppose, Ta grapes from the lower vineyards of
the terraced island of Cos some four hundred pasangs from Port Kar....
If they were indeed Ta grapes I supposed they must have come by galley
from Cos to Port Kar, and from Port Kar to the Fair of En'Kara. Port Kar
and Cos are hereditary enemies, but such traditions would not be likely
to preclude some profitable smuggling. But perhaps they were not Ta
grapes for Cos was far distant, and even if carried by tarns, the grapes
would probably not seem so fresh....Priest-Kings of Gor, page

Cyprianus, Road of
In the old days the road of
Clearchus was often referred to as the "west road." This designation
became less useful after the recent opening of the road of Cyprianus. It
is not unusual, now, to refer to the road of Clearchus as the "old
west road" and that of Cyprianus as the "new west road."
Players of Gor, page 100
I shrugged. Much of Gor was
terra incognita. Few knew well the lands on the east of the Voltai and Thentis
ranges, for example, or what lay west of the farther islands, near Cos and
Tyros. It was more irritating, of course, to realize that even considerable
areas of territory above Schendi, south of the Vosk, and west of Ar, were
unknown. Explorers of Gor Pg 16 |
