On the Shores of the Vosk

Updated: 9-30-01

 

"I had gone from Lara to White Water using the barge canal, to circumvent the rapids, and from thence to Tancred's Lansing. I had later voyaged down river to Iskander, Forestport, and Ar's Station.
...
West of Ar's Station on the river I had visited Jort's Ferry, Point Alfred, Jasmine, Siba, Sais, and Sulport. I had stopped also at Hammerfest and Ragnar's Hamlet, the latter actually, now, a good-sized town. Its growth might be contrasted with that of Tetrapoli, much further west on the river."

Book 15, Rogue of Gor, pages 61 - 62


Ar's Station

"... Ar's Station, incidentally, did not exist at the time of the massing of the horde of Pa-Kur. It was established four years afterward, as an outpost and trading station on the south bank of the Vosk. It also commands, in effect, the northern terminus of one of the great roads, the Viktel Aria, or Ar's Triumph, leading toward Ar."

Book 15, Rogue of Gor, page 61


Ragnar's Hamlet
"Ragnar's Hamlet began as a small village and, from this central nucleus, expanded."

Book 15, Rogue of Gor, pages 61 - 62


Tetrapoli

"Tetrapoli, on the other hand, began as four separate towns, Ri, Teibar, Heiban and Azdal, as legend has it founded by four brothers. These towns grew together along the river and were eventaully consolidated as a polity. The four districts of the city, as might be supposed, reatin the names of the original towns. The expression 'Tetrapoli' in Gorean, incidentally, means 'Four Cities' or 'Four Towns.'"

Book 15, Rogue of Gor, pages 61 - 62


Ven
"He had won her in Girl Catch, in a contest to decide a trade dispute between two small cities, Ven and Rarn, the former a river port on the Vosk, the second noted for its copper mining, lying southeast of Tharna." Book 11, Beasts of Gor, page 3


"'What lies west on the Vosk,' asked Aemilianus.
'On the southern bank, Ven,' said Marcus. Turmus, which is the last major town west on the Vosk, is on the northern bank.
'And what beyond Ven?' asked Aemilianus.
'The Delta'"

Victoria
Fina and Tafa
"I knew something of the Vosk League. Its headquarters was in the town of Victoria, on the northern bank of the Vosk, between Fina and Tafa."
