Gorean cities are often imagined from the top down. We picture ubars and councils, high castes debating law and honor beneath banners and stone. These scenes are visible, dramatic, and easy to recognize. But they are not what make a city function. A well-built city stands from the bottom up.…

I would like to invite Arealius of Port Olni and Abraham Jacobsen of Teletus to participate in a structured, public debate on a question that has generated significant discussion among scribes, physicians, and scholars across multiple cities: Does the presence of schools, tutors, and renowned centers of learning in the…

There has been recent discussion surrounding the creation of yet another centralized campus and cross‑city institution intended to educate new citizens, apprentices, and arrivals to Gor.
