Do not ask the stones or the trees how to live; they cannot tell you; they do not have tongues.

Do not ask the wise man how to live, for, if he knows, he will know he cannot tell you.

If you would learn how to live, do not ask the question.

Its answer is not in the question but in the answer, which is not in words.

Do not ask how to live, but, instead, proceed to do so.

Introduction

Postm ortem Stu d i os

The City of Tharna was once

the site of an unusual reversal of

Gor’s normal social order. While

Free Women are held in incredibly

high regard everywhere, in Tharna

they were the unquestioned and

absolute rulers. Men served at

their whims or found themselves

fighting for their lives in the arena,

or serving in the silver mines to the

point of their deaths.

There was a revolt, a civil war,

originating in the mines but

overtaking the whole city and all

its territory. This revolt put paid to

that old order and now, it is said,

that a slave girl’s chains weigh the

heaviest in Tharna. Some, however,

surely harbour a desire to return to

the old ways of silver masks and

men held in check.

Ta Sardar Gor!

Overvi ew

On the world of Gor the city state

Tharna was an oddity: A place

where free women walked behind

silver masks, safe under the rule

of their female leader, the Tatrix.

For all residents the city was made

a safe space. Paga taverns were

forbidden, men wore bland grey

rather than the bright colours of

their caste and even the walkways

had hand rails (something not

usually seen in Gorean cities). The

city itself had almost no slaves, but

criminals and foreign men who

stayed the night were enslaved.

These men were set to work in the

great silver mines that funded the

city, or were made to fight in the

arena for the amusement of the

Tatrix and the mob.

Some fifty years or so ago - a

short span to the ageless and

immortal people of Gor - that all

changed when a slave revolt in the

mines restored the men to their

traditional Gorean values. They

cast down the tyrant women that

tormented them and collared them

with the silver they once wore as

masks.

We lay our scene for this scenario

fifty years later, in the present day,

with the player character becoming

drawn into a conspiracy from some

of the last free women of Tharna.

They plot and scheme to make a

desperate bid to restore the old

order. Options for armed conflict

in the war for freedom abound, as

does diplomacy, guile and betrayal.

If the players are skilful, they may

in the right place at the right time

and shape the future of Tharna.

Will they choose to stand for the

vibrant and life-positive nature of

Gorean ways, or help to create a

city where citizens can be safe and

secure?

P la

yer Ch aracters

This scenario works well either

with a group of warriors or a

mixed caste group. It assumes the

characters are likely to support

traditional Gorean values, but gives

them some freedom to switch sides

or pretend to do so.

It is assumed that Tharna is a

foreign city to the characters. If

you want to give them a more

stake in this scenario, have one or

more of the characters have some

history with Tharna.
