This story is based off Chat logs and CHAT GPT was used to make it into this. Gor is Copyrighted by John Norman Morning light drifted slowly over the stone streets, catching on shutters and hanging signs, warming the edges of the city as it stirred awake. The market district breathed in the new day with the mingled scents of baking bread, sweet fruit, and damp cobblestones still holding the memory of night air. Merchants lifted their awnings, servants hurried with baskets, and the low murmur of greetings wove itself into the gentle clatter of carts and footsteps. It was the kind of morning that felt ordinary and reassuring, the sort that promised routine rather than disruption. The bakery near the corner was already alive with motion. Golden loaves lined the counter, their crusts crackling softly as they cooled. Trays of pas...

This article aims to clarify those misunderstandings using canon sources and practical reasoning.

Understanding One of Gor’s Most Misinterpreted Substances Iskander’s Draft is one of the most misunderstood substances referenced in Gorean lore. Often confused with truth serums, cipher keys, or coercive mind-control drugs, it is actually something far more subtle—and far more interesting for roleplay. This article breaks down what Iskander’s Draft is, what it does and does not do, who would realistically use it, and why it opens the door to rich, consent-driven RP plots. What Is Iskander’s Draft?

Fire thaws Ice by Guest writer Doe

Written by Doe (aelita.biedermann)   Fire thaws Ice She laid, curled up on the floor with her hands fisted in the fur, half smiling, half crying. The emotions of a girl in turmoil. Freedom was within her grasp, one way or another. All she need do was be patient and wait, but uncertainty warred within her. The frigid ice of the Free Woman, promised at the least coin, if not station and the raging fire of the girl, promised nothing except steel about her neck and agonizing heat at her thigh.  A week earlier the choice would have been simple, the woman beginning to shatter beneath the weight of steel. Now though, the fires in her belly softened her to the steel and she began to feel a certain comfort, a certain kind of belonging. She had always known herself to be pretty, but never in all her years did she believe men ...

Gor is Copyrighted by John Norman He moved through the city without hurry, his pace casual enough that an observer might have thought him wandering without purpose. Yet there was intent beneath it—quiet, deliberate. His steps carried him unerringly to the inn, where he finally came to a stop. The place was nearly empty, the muted calm of the hour settling over it like a held breath. His keen eyes found her at once. Crow paused, just inside the edge of the space, as though searching for the right words before stepping fully forward. Social ease had never been his strength, yet there was an undeniable charm about him—something polished that lingered from a high-caste upbringing never entirely erased by blood or shadow. Assassin he might be, bu...

This story is based off Chat logs and CHAT GPT was used to make it into this. Gor is Copyrighted by John Norman   “I’m old. Very old.” The words were not meant to provoke, yet they landed like a challenge. Neeve looked up sharply, her expression caught between irritation and disbelief. She had heard exaggeration before - heard fear disguised as bravado - but this was different. The woman who spoke sat straight-backed despite the stiffness in her limbs, her voice low and roughened by age that did not belong to her face. Neeve said nothing at first. She turned instead, already moving toward her office, muttering to herself as she rummaged through scrolls and instruments. A panther who had survived twelve hundred winters was impossible. Entirely impossible. Unless… She stopped, lips pressing thin. Unless the serums were inv...
