Brundisium


by Aileen Devlin

As the Ubar has stepped down, the city began to rebuild fiercely, beginning with a new Ubar. We are proud to have Chichan lead the city in its new glory, along with His Ubara, Mysti. We welcome any who wish to attend their FC ceremony on Monday, Aug. 27, at 10pm est.

The city itself is working on trading, scribal debates and discussions, and bringing true roleplay back. We are happy to see the city working hard together toward its full potential.

Here is a little information on the city from the books:

Originally known as Ar's Station -- an outpost of the Ubarate of Ar and trading station on the south bank of the Vosk. It was founded four years after Pa-Kur's hordes gathered there prior to their war against Ar. Ar's station was Ar's stronghold on the Vosk. When Cos landed at Brundisium, and moved its forces toward Ar's Station, Ar failed to act because of political treachery. Ar's Station eventually fell to Cos. It stands at the northern terminus of the Viktel Aria which leads to Ar, also known as the Vosk Road.

Brundisium is one of the largest and busiest ports of Gor and a commercial metropolis. It is 100 pasangs south of the Vosk Delta on the Thassa. The Genesian Road links it with other coastal cities. Brundisium served as the staging point for the Cosian invasion of Ar.
