An
Ubar's Perspective
By:
Trenton De'Shea
Administrator/Ubar of Lydius
Tal
& Welcome to a Warrior's
Thoughts
From
the quiet motion of stillness to
the motion of constant
and vigilant revision of one's
understanding of the world around
us we all take our perceptions and
make our choices. ~Trenton De'Shea
A
Warrior must be prepared
to give all to maintain
his honor.
Without honor there is
nothing.
Magicians of
Gor, pg. 478
Alliance
A formal agreement
establishing an
association or alliance
between cities or other
groups to achieve a
particular aim.
But what is an alliance
within?
A grand strategy that
unites and unifies all
within its circle, yet
it is far more. In any
city, as the need for
and size of the military
grows, the expansion
of a grand strategy to
encompass the management
of the resources of the
city emerges. To
prevent invaders, a
great consideration is
given to diplomacy and
the use of the military
to achieve political
goals; both through
warfare if need be and
also as a deterrent. The
contribution of military
force is largely an
operational strategy -
the planning and control
of large military
prides. Lydius's grand
strategy incorporates
diplomacy through which
Lydius forges alliances.
In order for any
military to succeed, its
leader must have faith
in his men. Military
cannot succeed if they
are not empowered.
Trusting your warriors
with the jobs you have
assigned them is key to
any victory, nor does
this mean strictly in
warfare. United we
succeed, divided
anything will fail.
Respect is earned, as is
trust...as each goes
both ways, you must give
it to receive it. Such
is the Brotherhood of
Lydius, as we stand
strong in our ideals and
bonds of Honor.
Our city nae seeks war,
yet we have a vast war
fleet. Being one of the
four free ports of Gor,
we are a thriving trade
mecca, attracting a vast
diversity in our
imports, and our
visitors. Our merchant
vessels are accompanied
by heavy rams, as I
leave nothing to
chance.
Our defenses are such
that citizens and
visitors alike are safe
within our city and
surrounding lands. By
land, air, river, forest
or thassa the City of Lydius's
defenses are
unsurpassed. From the
huge stone wall that
surrounds the city, the
massive stone guard
towers that rise high
above providing a
panoramic view armed
with arches day and
night, the tarn
wires strategically
placed, the City Guard,
City Watch, all expertly
trained; Tarnsmen
Patrols, Tharlarion
Patrols, Kaiila Patrols,
their watches extend
from the thassa all
along the Laurius River
and into the Northern
Forest past the Sleen
Pens, the Lydius fleet
patrolling the harbor
and the river, all lands
surrounding the entry to
the Meadowlands, the
City of Lydius is secure and her
defense forces nae
penetrable.
Every plan is to be
considered, every
expedient tried and
every method taken
before matters are
brought to the last
extremity of war. Good
Captains decline general
engagements where other
methods save the lives
of their Brothers.
Strategy and finesse are
deployed to destroy the
enemy as much as
possible... without
exposing our own
forces. However, there
would be little
reluctance to become
engaged in direct
military engagement,
prosecuting offensive
operations against any
adversaries.
Our Admiral and Captains
the finest of Gorean
warriors; as we welcome
all to our beautiful
shores and the safety
and peace of Lydius.
Until
we meet again as in all
things take what you like,
leave what you don't....
I wish you all
well,
 |
The Warriors of
Lydius stand strong in
their ideals and bonds of Honor.

Captain
of the Elite Swords of
Lydius
A River Spar
I had the
privilege to
observe my
Administrator in
a river spar a
few days ago, an
event I was more
riveted to than
watched per se.
It is seldom Trenton takes an interest
in anyone and a
visitor, an
outlaw-warrior;
least he
professes to be
such caught his
eye.
Something
Trenton taught
me en'vars ago,
never show
emotion, never
act in anger,
first Observe,
Orient, Decide,
and then Act.
These skills
have served me
well as they do
all the warriors
of Lydius. As I
watched the spar
unfold I
wondered if this
outlaw-warrior
knew the purpose
of this spar.
He thought it a
test as most
would but it
isn't a test, it
is a means to
the end. What
is that, for
that you would
need to know Trenton and few do. Though his friends
are diverse and
encompass many
regions of Gor.
Karians,
Pirates, Tuchuks,
Warriors, many
call him friend,
many respect
him. I am honored to know him,
serve him and
protect the city
of Lydius.
The end of the
spar, won by
Trenton, the
shark in the
river he
delivered the
fatal blow as
both warriors
rested upon the
river bank
bleeding from
wounds inflicted
by jagged
teeth.
The realm of the
grand strategy
remains a
mystery to the
outlaw-warrior,
though as Trenton frequently states;
"All in due
time".
I have no doubt
the outlaw-warrior will
return to our
shores, though I
doubt he knows
what awaits him,
perhaps his
destiny.
HAIL

wish you well,

Tal
Citizens &
Visitors
By:
Brennus Tormaigh
En'Sword of Lydius
Commander
of the City Guard of
Lydius
Often times
throughout my daily
duties, I am asked
just what the tarn
prides mean to
Lydius. And after
much thought I came
to the conclusion it
is not what *I*
think what is
important but what
is important is
what's innate in
every Brother of
Lydius.
The mission of
the Pride is to
deliver sovereign
options for the
defense of our
shores and its
global interests to
fly and fight in air
and land. To
achieve our mission,
the Tarn Cavalry has
a vision of Global
Vigilance, Reach and
Power. That vision
also orbits around
three core
competencies:
Developing Tarnsmen,
Developing honorable
strategies to
warfighting and
Integrating
operations. These
core competencies
make our six
distinctive
capabilities
possible.
Air Superiority
With it, joint
forces can dominate
enemy operations in
all dimensions land,
thassa, and air.
Global Attack
The Tarn Cavalry can
attack anywhere,
anytime and do so
quickly and with
greater skill than
ever before.
Rapid Global
Mobility
Being able to
respond quickly and
decisively anywhere
we're needed is key.
Precision Engagement
The essence lies in
the ability to apply
selective force
against specific
targets because the
nature and variety
of future
contingencies demand
both precise and
reliable use of
power with minimal
risk and collateral
damage.
Information
Superiority
The ability of joint
force commanders to
keep pace with
information and
incorporate it into
a campaign plan is
crucial.
Agile Combat Support
Deployment and
sustainment are keys
to successful
operations and
cannot be separated.
Agile combat support
applies to all
forces, from those
permanently based to
contingency buildups
to expeditionary
forces.
Core Values
The Tarn
Cavalry bases these
core competencies
and distinctive
capabilities on a
shared commitment to
three values: Honor
and Integrity above
all, Service before
self, and Excellence
in all we do.
These core
values are more than
minimum standards.
They remind us what
it takes to get the
mission done. They
inspire us to do our
very best at all
times. They are the
common bond among
all Brothers in
Arms, and they are
the glue that
unifies the pride
and ties us to the
great warriors of
the past.
Honor and
Integrity First
Integrity is a
character trait.
Where there is
integrity, there
is honor. It is
the willingness
to do what is
right even when
no one is
looking. It is
the moral
compass, the
inner voice, the
voice of
self-control,
and the basis
for the trust
imperative in
all Gorean
forces.
Integrity is the
ability to hold
together and
properly
regulate all of
the elements of
a personality. A
person of
integrity, for
example, is
capable of
acting on
conviction. A
person of
integrity can
control impulses
and appetites.
But integrity also
covers several other
moral traits
indispensable to
service.
Courage
A person of
integrity
possesses moral
courage and does
what is right
even if the
personal cost is
high.
Honesty
Honesty is the
hallmark of
the warrior
because our word
must be our
bond. We
don't scribble-whip
training
reports, we
don't cover
up strategic
violations, we
don't falsify
scrolls, and we
don't issue
misleading
operational
readiness
messages. The
bottom line is
we don't lie,
and we can't
justify any
deviation from
the truth.
Responsibility
No person of
integrity is
irresponsible; a
person of true
integrity
acknowledges
his duties and
acts
accordingly.
Accountability
No person of
integrity tries
to shift the
blame to others
or take credit
for the work of
others;
"the coin stops
here" says it
best.
Justice
A person of
integrity
practices
justice. Those
who do similar
things must get
similar rewards
or similar
punishments.
Openness
Warriors of
integrity
encourage a free
flow of
information
within the
pride. They seek
feedback from
all directions
to ensure they
are fulfilling
key
responsibilities,
and they are
never afraid to
allow anyone at
any time to
examine how
they conduct
business.
Self-respect.
To have
integrity also
is to respect
oneself as
a true
warrior and
Gorean. A person
of integrity
does not behave
in ways that
would bring
discredit upon
himself or the homestone
to which he is
sworn.
Humility
A person of
integrity grasps
and is sobered
by the awesome
task of
defending their
homestone.
Service Before
Self
Service before
self tells us
that duties take
precedence over
personal
desires. At the
very least it
includes the
following
behaviors:
Rule following
To serve is to
do one's duty,
and our duties
are most
commonly
expressed
through rules.
While it may be
the case
that all
citizens are
expected to
exercise
judgment in the
performance of
their
duties, Lydian
warriors
understand that
rules have a
reason for
being, and the
default position
must be to
follow those
rules unless
there is a
clear,
operational
reason for
refusing to do
so.
Respect for
others
Service before
self tells us
also that a good
leader places
the pride ahead
of his personal
comfort. We must
always act in
the certain
knowledge that
all persons
possess a
fundamental
worth as
Goreans.
Discipline and
self-control
Tarnsmen,
especially
commanders at
all
echelons should
not indulge
themselves in
self-pity,
discouragement,
anger,
frustration, or
defeatism. They
have a
fundamental
moral obligation
to the persons
they lead to
strike a tone of
confidence and
forward-looking
optimism.
Excellence In
All We Do
Excellence in
all we do
directs us to
develop a
sustained
passion for
continuous
improvement that
will propel
the Tarn
Cavalry into a
long-term,
upward spiral of
accomplishment
and performance.
Product/service
excellence
We must focus on
providing services
and generating
products that fully
respond to our
citizens wants and
anticipate their
needs, and we must
do so within the
boundaries
established by the
Administrator/Ubar,
Trenton De'Shea.
Personal excellence
Not just our tarnsmen,
but all Lydian
warriors must seek
out and complete
skill and training,
stay in physical and
mental shape, and
continue to refresh
their First and
Second Knowledge.
Community excellence
Community excellence
is achieved when all
citizens of
Lydius can work
together to
successfully reach a
common goal in an
atmosphere free of
fear that preserves
individual
self-worth. Some of
the factors
influencing
interpersonal
excellence are:
Mutual respect
Genuine respect
involves viewing
another person
as an individual
of fundamental
worth. Never
judging on the
basis of his/her
possession of an
attribute that
places him or
her in any
category.
Benefit of the
doubt
Working hand in
glove with
mutual respect
is that attitude
which says that
all citizens are
'innocent until
proven guilty.'
Before rushing
to judgment
about a person
or his/her
behavior, it is
important to
have the whole
story.
Resources
excellence
Excellence in
all we do also
demands that we
aggressively
implement
policies to
ensure the best
possible
cradle-to-grave
management of
resources.
Material
resources
excellence
Lydian
warriors have an
obligation to
ensure that all
of the equipment
and property
they ask for is
mission
essential.
Human resources
excellence
Human resources
excellence means
that we recruit,
train, promote,
and retain those
who can do the
best job for
Lydius. And who
is Lydius?
Trenton De'Shea.
Operations
excellence
There are two
kinds of
operations
excellence
- internal and
external.
Excellence of
internal
operations
This form of
excellence
pertains to the
way we do
business
internal
to all the
forces of
Lydius from the
unit level to
the Admin/Ubar.
It involves
respect on the
unit level and a
total commitment
to maximizing
team effort.
Excellence of
external
operations
This form of
excellence
pertains to the
way in which we
treat the world
around us as we
conduct our
operations. In
peacetime, for
example, we must
be sensitive to
the rules
governing
environmental issues
and in war time
we are required
to obey the laws
of war.
These are
the core
values and
competencies
of the Tarn
Prides of
Lydius. They
dictate to
the
strongest,
the fiercest
and the most
honorable of
tarnsmen in
all of Gor.
How we
think, how
we act,
react...how
we
live. Every
Gorean asked
to join our
forces
MUST hold
these core
values and
competencies as second
nature. And
with that I
leave you
with....
The Tarnsman's
Creed
I AM A LYDIAN
TARNSMAN.
I AM A WARRIOR.
I HAVE ANSWERED
MY UBAR'S CALL.
I AM A LYDIAN
TARNSMAN.
MY MISSION IS TO
FLY, FIGHT, AND

I AM FAITHFUL TO

GUARDIAN OF
FREEDOM AND
JUSTICE,
MY CITY’S SWORD
AND SHIELD,
ITS SENTRY AND
AVENGER.
I DEFEND MY HOMESTONE
WITH MY LIFE.
I AM A
LYDIAN TARNSMAN:
WINGMAN, LEADER,
WARRIOR.
I WILL NEVER
LEAVE A
BROTHER BEHIND,
I WILL NEVER
FALTER,
AND I WILL NOT
FAIL.

Warriors of Gor, Citizens &

By:
Jared Chardan
Captain of the Kaiila
Mounted Calvary of
Lydius
Manager
of the Tre'Moon Kaiila
Ranch
Coordinating and
commanding the Kaiila
Forces of Lydius is an
intricately complicated
and serious position.
The primary duties of
the kaiila prides are as
follows:
Patrolling throughout
the city, the span of
the Laurius River
that borders the city,
and beyond past Laura as
the river winds into
the Northern
Forest. Patrols travel
within the forest for
several acres,
as many seek the city of
Lydius for supplies and
trade. The borders to
the Meadowlands which
span hundred of passangs
as we have an alliance
which serves both
cities. I also manage
the Tre'Moon Kaiila
Ranch; which involves
maintaining the ranch,
ensuring the keepers are
taking excellent care of
the beast and overseeing
the training and
breeding programs, as
both Northern and
Southern Kaiila are
available.
My job, as Captain of
the Kaiila Calvary
encompasses scheduling
the men on their
rotations, coordinating
the patrols, determining
where more are needed,
and make decisions with
constantly shifting
priorities when anything
unexpected occurs. I
work directly with the
Administrator and the
other Captains to
coordinate the defenses
of the city. I take my
duties very seriously,
as protecting the Home
Stone and her people is
my primary objective at
all times.
My origins are from the
dessert, my original
home the Tahari as I
spent ahns each day
riding southern kaiila across the
lands. My journey
brought me through a war
on the plains and from
there I traveled much of
Gor. My sword then
pledged to Lydius, as I
joined the Brotherhood
of this magnificent
city. I am indeed
fortunate to have come
here, and proud to be
the Captain of the
Kaiila Calvary for the
city of Lydius, I cannot think of
any other position I
would rather have.

wish all well,

Shipyards
Dawn
I must have paced along
the docks for ahns,
least so it seemed. The
light of day began to
caress over the sea and
in the distance ship
sails danced upon the
thassan breeze. The
port was coming alive as
merchant ships began to
arrive; slowly I made my
way toward the
shipyards, the delivery
of timber would be
arriving from the mill
and new orders I would
find upon my desk.
My life by the river a
peaceful harmony in
comparison to the rage
and thunder of the sea.
A contrast seemingly
divine in its destiny of
my life. The
tranquility of our
solitude by the river
the Kings have blessed
us with.
The shipyards massive in
scope, an arena I now
manage, I never foresaw
what would be. It had
been my home as a child,
a refuge from my despair
and still it brings an
inner peace.
I go about my work
knowing the warriors of
the city keep all here
safe and within that
harmony I design the
ships of war, the ships
of merchants, the ships
of the thassa. My crews
tending to each detail
as the vessels take
shape. I build for many
although my primary work
is for the city of Lydius, the yards able to accommodate several
builds at once as I
oversee all
construction.
Once a lone
drifter, now and
again I seek the
stillness of the
thassa before the
dawn, the demons I
once held float out
with the tide. In
return, my soul
belongs to an
Taharian warrior.

Tal
My Family and Friends,
By:
Cronus Cristian
Admiral of the Lydius
Fleet
As most of you know I
have recently returned
back to the shores of
our beautiful city from
Port Kar. Never more
true the statement.
"It’s so good to be
Home." I can only hope
you are all as glad to
see me back. I have to
admit there was a time I
had considered not
returning to Lydius.
Karian blood is what
flows through my veins
by birth. But is blood
what determines the man
you will be or are? I
say nay! I was happy to
be back "home" to be
where I was molded into
the man I am. But as I
watched the turmoil's in
Port Kar unfold before
me once more I came to
the realization it's not
the blood that flows
through you, not the
lessons that you
learned, but the way you
feel in your heart.
One of my reasons for
thinking of staying was
of course Samantha and
my children. All you
fathers know that
feeling when your little
daughter runs up to you
with a big smile yelling
Da! and grabbing your
finger to hold. Makes
the heart of the
mightiest warrior melt.
The idea of missing all
that again was something
I nay wanted to even
think about. The
longer I stayed in Port
Kar and walked its
streets, talked with old
friends met new ones the
more I realized this was
not my home any longer.
Though tempted with the
offer to return to my
position on the COC the
more I realized their
values of home and
family where no longer
my values.
The honor, the
respect, the comradery
between Brothers like
that we have here in
Lydius can nay be
matched anywhere else.
Able to convince
Samantha to return to
Lydius with me was a
happy day. When I stood
on the deck of the Pride
and saw the horizon of
Lydius come into my view
my heart swelled. The
glisten of the sun off
its peaceful buildings
blinding to the eyes.
It was then that I knew
Lydius was where I
wanted to be, to raise
my children in the peace
and tranquility. The
city I have come to love
as if I had cried my
first breath of life
here. It was my heart
not my mind that told me
I was HOME.
HAIL LYDIUS !!!

Cara's
Corner
By:
Lady Cara De'Shea
Ubara of Lydius
En'Scribe
of Lydius
Tal
My Family and Friends
“A Time of
Mistakes and Lessons”
Everyone, no matter who
they are young or old,
can and will learn
something in addition,
will make a mistake or
two during their
lifetime. Though there
are many levels or kinds of
lessons and mistakes
that can be learned are
done
daily. Stop to think of
those our children make,
ones such as when they
say permission has been
given by one parent to
the other parent. This
turns out to be a
double lesson for the
simple fact that not
only have they lied,
they have tried to
play one parent against
the other. Now how
should the parent
respond to this? What lesson should we
teach to our child? How
many of us as children
tried this very same thing when we
wanted something so
badly, and thought if
one parent thought the
other agreed, then it
must be all right. How
many times did that same
thing work for us?
The important thing to
remember is that no
matter how we look at
this it is still wrong.
One thing to stress is
knowing that anger will
not help and when
teaching our children we
must always remain in
control
of our emotions. The
first step is to check
with the other parent
finding out if they
had indeed given their
permission for the child
to do what they wanted,
if not, then it is our
responsibility to sit
our child down. Start
by asking why they felt
it was important enough
for them not tell the
truth when trying to get
what they desired.
Learning their reasons
would be the first step,
no matter what their
reasoning, it is
important to continue
listening to them. Once
they have given the
reasons behind their
actions then calmly
explain what was wrong
with what they have
done, how it is
considered lying and not
considered the honorable
thing to do. As each
child should have been
taught from the very
beginning what it means
to be honorable, the
importance of honor now
and through their
lives. Once this is
finished, its another
lesson taught and
learned. Hopefully,
this type of lesson will
never have to be
repeated. Remember we
as their parents are
responsible for
instilling many lessons
throughout our
children's young lives,
lessons carried over
into their adulthood.
Now, does this work the
same way with an adult?
I believe so, though it
is hoped that one would
not have to explain what
truthfulness is or what
honorable behavior is or
is not. Some make a
mistake through their
actions, by not thinking
or by allowing their
personal feelings or
emotions to dictate how
they react to something,
all this happening
before their brain takes
over causing them to do
something that they will
forever regret. This
type of action or
behavior can ruin
something so very
precious and so very
important for those
involved. Yet, before
you know it life as it
was before is over,
changes have been made
for some perhaps for the
better while for others
it can have devastating
consequences, on the
lives of more than one
person. Most
importantly, if you
react without thinking,
allowing your emotions
to override your brain
then you need to be
ready to accept the
responsibility for such
actions. You must be
ready to accept the
consequences for your
actions, or inaction's
whichever the case may
be. Some mistakes can
be corrected, but only
if the person truly
wishes to honestly try,
try to make those
changes sincerely, but
not with just the brain.
The brain has only
intellect to go by,
whereas the heart is
where feelings come
from, yet in their
combination are we able
to vocalize not only our
thoughts about anything,
but also we are able to
voice our most heartfelt
feelings. One must be
willing to admit they
have made a mistake, be
willing to work and work
hard to correct and make
up for their mistakes,
the wrongs they have
done, those wrongs
having caused the damage
and hurting those whom
we love the most in our
lives.
They can be your friend,
a fellow brother,
sister, Caste member,
ones own child,
Companion, and even
their HomeStone, or
City, and its citizens.
Only after they have
admitted and corrected
their mistakes can one
truly have learned their
lesson. The lesson
being, once the mistake
has been made never make
that same mistake again,
learn from it and
remember it forever.
May your mistakes be few
and your lessons learned
even greater throughout
your life.
Until the next time,
Be well and safe

Tal my Family and

I have thought
on many topics
to write about
and came up with
one that pops
within my head,
family. What is
family? How are
the lines of
family drawn?
What does it
take to consider
one family?
Family can be
taken many ways
depending on how
a person looks
at it. Family
can be literal
family, born by
the same blood.
Such as my
Father, Mother,
Sister and
Brother. Those
are people that
will always be
family as you
are born within
that family and
really
essentially
never be taken
away from the
bloodlines.
Those are what
most consider to
be family. But
I have found
that family
falls farther
from just
bloodlines.
Family can be
those that are
held near and
dear. Those
that are more
than just a
friend or
acquaintance.
It is those that
you go to when
in need of
confidence.
Those that you
can trust
completely
without a doubt
in your mind
that you are
willing to lay
your life down
for them. The
people that love
and want to keep
within your
circle at all
times. Family
is those people
that you know
you can turn to
without any
worry of
repercussion or
judgment. It is
the ones that
are truly there
regardless of
what you may
have done right
or wrong. And
it is the ones
that you know if
you ask them a
question you
will get an
honest answer.
There are many
people within my
life that I
consider
family. I know
I can look to
them when in
need of advice
or just someone
to listen when I
need to get
something off my
chest. The ones
that I can spend
the good times
with as well as
the bad. The
people that I
put my complete
trust in.
Without those
people in my
life I do not
know how I would
survive the
world and all
that it can
throw at you.
For without
family I would
not have a sense
of belonging or
wanting to
belong. As
being alone is
essentially what
I would be. But
with family
surrounding me I
will never be
alone.
And that is what
I have found
here in Lydius.
The largest
family that I
have ever seen
within my life.
Yes, we may have
our moments as
do all families
but in the end
that is what we
are in Lydius.
One large family
that exists for
everyone within
it's city. It
is a place that
we call home as
we are all
brothers and
sisters of
Lydius. It is a
family that I am
honored and
proud to be a
part of.
Hail Lydius!!!

Greetings
my Jarl, my
Mistress, Jarls,
Masters,
Mistresses,
slaves:
In the
almost
12
en'vars
this
girl has
belonged
to her
Jarl,
she has
seen
many
changes
both in
the City
and in
herself.
The City
has
grown as
has she,
both
under
the
strong
guiding
hand of
her
Jarl.
The one
thing
that has
not
changed
is the
integrity
and
honor of
her Jarl
and it
is with
such a
deep
honor
that
this
girl
wears
His
collar
locked
around
the
slender
column
of her
throat.
There is
not a
day
that gift
bestowed
upon her
is not
felt by
this
girl.
Each
time
this
girl
looks to
her
Jarl, it
is with
that
same
sense of
overwhelming
awe that
consumed
her the
very
first
time she
knelt at
His
feet.
The
honor
she felt
when His
collar
first
locked
against
her neck
has only
gown as
she
has.
His girl
cherishes
and
treasures
every
ihn
permitted
to serve
at His
feet and
does so
with
that
pride
and
honor of
being
His.
That
sense a
girl
feels
not only
conveyed
when
before
Him, but
in all
that she
does, in
all that
she serves
of the
City for
Him, for
it is
just
that....
she
strives
to honor
Him in
all she
does.
It is
not
something
practiced
or
memorized
but
something
deep
within
her...
it is
not
something
tangible
but yet
can be
seen in
her
every
movement
as it
surrounds
her very
heart
and
soul.
His girl
wakes
each day
with her
Jarl her
only and
sole
focus.
All she
does
done
with Him
in
mind.
Every
chore
and
service
completed
not only
to
please
her Jarl
but to
honor
Him as
well...
in
striving
to be
found
worthy
of the
honor He
has
given
her by
this
girl
belonging
to Him.
Through
all the
changes
while
this
girl has
worn her
Jarl's
collar,
that
sense of
honor
both
felt and
projected
in her
service
has only
grown
deeper.
He
captured
her soul
that
very
first
ihn His
intense
blue
gaze
bored
into
her, her
whole
being
surrendered
to Him
in love
and
devotion
and the
ache and
wish to
honor
Him in
every
step she
takes
burns
through
her as
deeply
as His
mark has
been
branded
to her
flesh.
There is
more to
honoring
her Jarl
than
doing so
when
before
Him...
it is
carried
with her
just as
His
Ownership
is and
in
reflected
in every
chore
and
service.
It
shines
from her
and is
reflected
in her
love and
happiness
at
serving
and
belonging
to her
Jarl.
His
girl's
wish and
hope is
that she
conveys
that
sense of
honor
she
feels in
her
Jarl's
collar
to All
she
encounters
in the
City,
when not
in her
Jarl's
presence
as well,
for it
is a
part of
her and
her
deepest
desire
to honor
her Jarl
in all
that she
does for
Him and
always
with Him
in
mind.
Jarl's
girl
wishes
All be
well.

The Council exists to serve its

HONOR and integrity and we welcome
those who desire it also. We
have incorporated the best of all

There
are good warriors in all Caste,

with the Registered Warriors of Gorean

All
registered warriors may grandfather

Honor caste. Above all else you
will hold to your Honor of a Gorean
Warrior. Non-registered warriors, you
must prove your worth to the Caste, as
a mentor of our ranks shall
predetermine this. You must
train, and you then will be accepted
by such merits. The first of
entries for application is a test of
knowledge. Consult the training
and guidelines for this information,
and then begin on your path. For
those of you grand fathering into our
folds, for those already a part of the sacred
warrior traditions,
Welcome and
