"It is a young Camp, six Members at the moment," Mehri said. "We are in no rush to expand. (We) believe in quality over quantity.

"We are settling in comfortably, establishing Ourselves, living Our lives in accordance with the principles set down by Our forefathers," she added.

Mehri's father was Paravaci, while her mother Tuchuk. Her mother was killed a little over a year ago while returning from visiting a friend.

"When she was killed, I felt a need to get back in touch with My roots for one, and the fact that there were no Paravaci Camps close by, I decided to stay (in the Tuchuk Camp). I can not live in Cities," she said.

Tuchuks and Paravaci are similar in many ways, Mehri said, although there are some differences.

"In the basic sense both are very similar -- Plainspeople living off the land, hard work, taking a sense of enjoyment from the earth and nature, live hard, play hard.

"The Tuchuk are wily, more apt to think things out first, prefer the simpler things.

"The Paravaci are a bit bolder, more apt to reach out and take what they want (They) prefer the finer things, surrounding themselves with wealth, but not to necessarily show off but in the hope that it will challenge someone to come and try to relieve them of it and allow for a chance to hone their prowess in fighting.

"Both Tuchuk and Paravaci are solid, good people. Neither better than the other," she added.

Her life is simple, though busy.

"I start My day with a stroll along the river where I gather My thoughts and go over things that have occurred and things that need to be done," she said.

"Then I make sure that the girls know what chores are to be done and see to it they do so. I go over the books for the Ubar and keep close tabs on the inventory, see to the small newspaper that We put out, and keep a log of events for the article for the Gazette.

"I also spend My time sewing and doing various other chores. The old saying on earth is true -- a Woman's work is never done," she notes.

The night Paravaci GC opened, Mehri and the Ubar, Lokesh, were FCed in "a quiet, simple ceremony, witnessed by a girl and the heavens above," Mehri says with a gentle smile.

As the Ubara, she has certain duties to attend.

"My main duties are to see to the smooth running of the Camp in regards to slaves. He (Lokesh) sees to the Men and that things run smoothly there.

"Together, We try to provide the best for the Camp and work side by side ... but," she says, a soft smile forming on her lips, "when it comes to the actual policy making of the Camp, He has the final say -- as it should be."

While she appreciated the Tuchuks giving her a home, Mehri is very glad to be back in a Paravaci Camp, and equally as happy to be on GorChat.

"I think the best thing about this part of Gor (GorChat) is the fact that most try to keep to the books and the consistency in the rules that apply to all. It makes for more realism.

"The mandatory use of the wilds is one such rule. The raid rules that apply to all rooms. The general cooperation among the rooms in keeping with the rules. All makes for a more realistic Gorean setting than on the other sites.

"The one thing I do find disconcerting is the trash that finds its way to the message boards -- the bickering, the whining and the name calling. The eagerness in which people point the finger," she notes.

But that is a minor complaint to Mehri, who declares, "I think GorGhat is the finest site around and I am proud to be a Member."
