Tal and Greetings


Here you can read of the castes of Gor and a list of the books.


Gor is planet directly on the other side of this earths sun, in the exact same orbit,hidden from view. It is ruled by the Priest-Kings. In Gorean, the term GOR means "Homestone." The planet itself is, literally, the Homestone of its people. Each Gorean who has not been outlawed has a "Homestone," with slaves taking the Homestone of their owners. If freed, slaves can again claim the Homestone of their birth. Although it is not unknown for a person to change Homestones, it is extremely rare. Since city warfare is common on Gor, those that change Homestones are often suspect and those who are newly arrived on Gor are cautioned that declaring the wrong "Homestone" might prove as fatal as not having one. Newcomers on Gor will need to find a City and declare for it (for a good explanation on this, visit "#BellevueCastle"). Outlaws, those without a Homestone, are not even welcome on Port Kar any more.

GOR is not EARTH although many things from Earth can be found there. If you are trying to "think" and "speak" like a Gorean, you could do worse than to study the "Encyclopedia of GOR".
