Talunas of the Grail!!!

A dark and merciless jungle demon spreads like a deadly fog, like a disease, through our happy evergreen vales…we will be DOOMED if we don t stop it!

A holy ritual needs to be performed.
The jungle gods demand that only Talunas of the Grail can perform sacred ritual!
YOU are needed for us to overcome that deadly threat!!!!!

I need to ask this sacrifice of you, Sisters! Become a Seeker of the Grail!

Here is what you need to do: You need to make the voyage on foot! and you need to wear a white garment while you travel as it is a holy crusade! Cross the jungles and walk to into the tahari…follow the call of the sacred spirits and walk the rocky hills of the Voltai…down into the plains of Vosk…cross the Vosk…and walk up either on the western banks of the river or walk up into the steep hills of thentis until you reach the northern forests…You will encounter Panthers in these forests…stay with a tribe for a full holy day!…NOT longer! not shorter! From dawn till dusk…then continue your voyage into Thorvaldsland….Cross the Hringar Mountains and enter Viking lands…search for the holy grail…walk around it three times and kiss it…then return to the jungles…you may take the ship on your voyage back…no ship travels all the distance, you will have to leave the ship and find another that brings you back…and will enter seven harbours…use eight different ships…until you are back in the jungles…



rules of the quest:
1. wear something white. It must not be all of your dress, but a significant part of it !

2. In every place you go you need to interact with a leader of that place…and get rp that you told him/her that you are on a voyage of the grail and ask for a blessing of your quest. You need not get a blessing to succeed, but you need to ASK for it before you can travel on

3. Make a diary: What places do you go to? put the crucial part of your rp with the leader in, add a pic if you like. You may or may not go in disguise…whatever you do, it needs to be roleplayed and IC

4. You may encounter perils or even get captured. That is the risk of the voyage.I cannot change that. Sorry.

5. Send a bird home to the jungles with your whereabouts and the page of the diary (notecard) for every leg of your voyage you made. It will be published

6. If possible don t travel alone…take a girl with you or a Sister

7.((you may interrupt your voyage, it needs not be done in one quest, but it must be done in their proper order. If you are unsure of the route, go to the gorean hub and select points where you will go to. If the leader of a place/tribe/city is not present, choose an alternative route or wait))

Every Taluna who succeeded will be awarded the title and tag Taluna of the Grail

Kajirae:
Kajirae CAN participate! Either with their Owners or alone with proper travelling papers. However for Kajirae additional rules apply:

1. you need to wear a white Veil while you travel

2. you are not allowed to hide your status or travel in disguise

3. you need to dance for the Leader of a place where you go in three different sacred places of your voyage ((notecard your dance and the reactions as proof))


Every girl who succeeded will be awarded the title and Tag of Slave of the Veils

All successful participants will form a gorean Elite group. More to come!

Larah

Taluna hunting grounds are as large as 10.000 square miles, the tribe is on the hunt and on the move, its like the 'round' a grizzly bear or a polar bear does on earth with a diameter of 100 miles. Amazonas tribes do that up to modern times. In our rp ushindi is just a very small spot where we happen to be, the tribe moves on, we are in one specific jungle not more than once a year. if we are gone and someone sets fire, that is about 0,0000656% of the total area we inhabit. IF the jungle where we live would only be that small as Ushindi, our hiding in the jungles rp would not be realistic.Therfore it would not be realistic either if a fire in this underpopulated area would cause harm.

Talunas of Gor, hunting predators of the jungles, rumours tell they are there, scarcely are they ever seen, their fair bodies moving swiftly through the woods, the tips of their spears, the golden ornaments on their arms glinting, once you ever encounter a Taluna you are doomed!

BEWARE! Gorean from Port Schendi daring to enter the dark water dripping jungles, LISTEN to the drums and the sudden silence of the screeching monkeys overhead, YOU are an alien here and do not belong!

you are SEEN! SMELLED! HEARD! are there eyes watching you? did you hear swiftly running little feet?..they eyes of the panther?...the slithering snake on your path? so small yet so poisonous?...the venomous spider in the branches overhead?...did you find their camp?...the fireplace only lukewarm?...seems they are gone! the movement behind the bush! Talunas? or only the black gleaming panther on soft paws?


mystic rituals, tattoos, piercings, kuruu…the jungles are full of secrets…as are the Talunas of Gor, only scarcely described in the books (see below).

anything that is weak is prey…even the black Ubar Bilar Hurun, the tattooed giant has never found us…the rainforests cover tracks swiftly…

we ARE our jungles!
we choose IF we want to battle
we choose WHERE we want to battle
we choose WHEN we want to battle

remember: Taluna tribes are jungle tribes! our rp is VASTLY different from any other rp!

just to give you a feeling for it, I enclosed tribal pictures from the rainforests in west papua.

like large predators of the north, the tribe moves through a vast area from camp to camp, hunting, moving again a few days later…never here, never there, our possessions carried on our bodies, a fireplace and a leaf thatched hut to be easily set up and left behind on the move…a hunting tribe…the vast jungles are our fortress, the rain our allie, the steaming heat our dress, the ash our makeup…

swiftly running feet in the jungles: when you hear us, its too late! surprise is our allie: SCREAM! when you are pounced and claws and teeth rip your body!!! a panther may leave you, a Taluna will not! and PREY it is us and not a Mamba of Gor!

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I!! SEE!! YOU!!!!

Disney Gor

What is Disney Gor? the answer to this question needs some explanation. See the answer below.

four different versions of gor exist in sl:

Athenian Gor
Spartacian Gor
Evolutionary Gor
Lifestyle gor

Athenian gor:
Life in Athenian sims shall be strictly by the books. Athenians feel the vocation to teach everyone. Every roleplay is played out after strict rules, variations are not allowed if they can t be similarly quoted. Roleplay is quite self- centred, every roleplayer is definitively the most important person in his/her environment. Behind the athenian veil frequently cruelties are hidden that would not be roleplayed in a sane environment. Generally Athenians have the ‘best intentions’ however miss the fact that there are some hard contradictions in the books to a practical roleplay environment, eg serves more beautiful than in the books are well possible, or that true dominant women exist. However it’s a Gor where kajirae feel well, as can be seen by their numbers.

Spartacian Gor
Life in Spartacian Gor does not really care for the books. Spartacian Goreans say otherwise, but more or less everything is accepted, as spartacian Gor is about battling. Double Black Kill Berserk-Mercs from Hellraiser thunder flash Shadow battles Shadow Blackhand-Dagger of Helldeath MegaDarc Outlaws, women are usually clad in motorbike leathers and spiked boots, Men wear black jeans, black boots and the ultralarge sword and steel reinforced spiked bows on their backs. Kilts and tats are a must- have in spartacian Gor. Outlaws accept female and male fighters, it’s fighting skills and numbers that count. Usually the numbers of kajirae is quite small in these groups as there is not much camp life except capture roleplay or battle preparations.

Evolutionary Gor
The role play model of Evolutionary Gor is based on the theory that after the scrolls of Tarl were written, society evolved. Life in evolutionary Gor is usually less formal and less brutal than Athenian Gor, as some excesses are left out. Evolutionary Gor frequently uses environments that are less described in the books, like the southern jungles of Gor or the northern fringes. In contrast to spartacian Gor there is usually less warfare, in contrast to athenian Gor there is usually less brutality and less self- centeredness. The number of kajirae is medium high as the environment is often less strict and battle occurs frequently.

Lifestyle Gor
Like Athenian gor, lifestyle Gor has the best intentions: Lifestyle Gor intends to be an environment that is very gorean, but strictly consensual. The drawback of Lifestyle gor is its denial of enforced behaviour. Gorean society IS nonconsensual in its layout, as it is enforced by male dominance, cities and castes. Lifestyle Gor tries to overcome this drawback by laying out strict rules. However the vibrating strong imbalance of Gor, strong men, the power of cities and of castes, the helplessness of kajirae is somewhat lost in lifestyle Gor. Male dominance is usually entirely lost.
However lifestyle Gor frequently encompasses many roleplay aspects like collaring or branding.
The number of kajirae is usually very high as no battle occurs and there is a strict set of rules to stick to. Lifestyle Gor is frequently but not always led by FW or kajirae.

none of these groups really exists in its truest form, most groups are more or less this or that.

now we can answer the question: what is Disney Gor?

every group sees all the other groups as Disney. Therefore most goreans are Disney goreans, seen from any others view.

its been a while since I published news of Sa Jerag…

our tribe has grown considerably…we merged and formed a Super- Tribe…our Sisters in tainted rose form Tre Sa Jerag with us…two locations…one tribe..four Ens…a large amount of active sisters…we are ONE tribe, two fireplaces, living in the jungles of gor and in the forests…

“They construct their own camps and shelters, each band claiming a certain territory. Usually to join an established band, you must fight and kill an existing member. Panther girls live primarily by hunting though they also engage in slaving and trade. (…) Panther girls are arrogant and proud, having little respect for anyone besides themselves. They despise female slaves and will treat them with great cruelty. They hate free women as well regarding all non-panther girls as weak and worthless.”

laughs! Tarl talked to Panthers of course and met them…but since he is a MALE it is highly probable that he simply spreads that rumor to prevent Free Women of Gor from joining their Free Sisters in the forests and jungles! are you not aware that it is our ENEMY who wrote these scrolls???
what would his interest be in spreading the rumor that they have fun, giggle and laugh, cuddle together in the furs at night to give warmth and sisterlove and shelter to each other?

would it not be quite normal to assume that we all cuddle in one big hut in the night, with all the predators in the jungles?...holding each other tight in fear and loneliness? Cast out from family and friends and threatened with horrible fates should we ever be captured?

would we really ask someone new who could help us survive to kill one of our own or kill her ourselves? Yes it MAY be that a tribe that is in great peril would not accept anyone joining who is not fit for survival…and sending her away after she knows where we hide would be risky…but KILLING each other, while each of us depends on the other, cuddling together and shivering in fear and consoling each others tears for having lost families and our lives…that I would regard as highly irrational…*takes these pages, rips them out and puts them onto her stack: Sagas of male Goreans to prevent women to join the Panthers or Talunas*

Panthers and Talunas were not born in the jungles…but born on Gor…Freewomen they have been or even Kajirae…I have problems believing that I despise what once has been my own role…

what do you think?

neema tells about her life on Gor

Born on earth I lived a happy life. I went to school and learned how to read and write. I can’t really remember what happened but one day I woke and found myself on a large plain. Only later did I learn I was never to return home, and that Gor would be where I live from then on.

I got captured within a week after I arrived and had to live the life of a slave, first in the city with a wonderful Master, his name is NightWalker. But at one point our paths split and I wandered from city to city until one happy joyful day I crossed the Jungles of Schendi.....it was there where I met the beautiful Huntress Ashtyn of the Wa Ngao tribe.......She won My heart right that first time our eyes met and I did not leave Her side for many days to come.....serving Her with great pride and devotion as her companion, her lover, her girl, so devoted was I to our love…

And in time my self consciousness and my pride grew....my chin high, my hand lifted and leaning on my trusted spear.....to protect instead of being protected.....to fight rather than staying behind........I needed to be Free to feel the wind through My raven curls..........and She granted it.......it was hard....but it was needed.

I now call the Jungles of Ushindi My Home where I stand proudly and surrounded by My Sisters of the Sa Jerag tribe.......a new Life..........a new beginning..........

Isalia tells of her life on Gor


1 BELLE - THE URTH CHILD

this girl is only 6 years old and likes to dance.
My mum and dad I love you so.
My mum please say: "Is this girl bad. ?"
Please come , please come and play with me.
Why in the bed all day you stay??
This girl is sad she wants to play.

"My belle , my love, lay on my side"
"I love you so, I love you so,
but on big journey I must go."
"Dont cry my love , I have a gift"
"This ribbons, see, are fine and red,
and when there worn in wind they fly"
"When sad you are, wear them with pride
and in the wind your tears will dry,
and wind will bring your love to me ,
and in the sky the sun will shine"

and in a churchyard this girl cried,
and in the sunset looked to the sky
and in the wind her ribbons fly"

2 ISABEL THE WILD ONE

belle grew big, and pain passed by, but live goes on and with the years she took her tenderness and with the ribbons she made a knot and made big walls in concrete. and then she forgot..... and she freaked out, and drank and blow, and one day she awoke , the world had changed, To a strange land she had been brought.
And in the sunset cried for her urth home.

3 THE BARBARIAN GIRL

A Barbarian girl that's what she was . and one day she ran and came in a big town; and sisters and masters were kind for her, she did her best to kneel and to learn of manners and of serve, but in her heart she was so scared, and there was pain that had no name.
One day the girl sat on the Market Place. She was so new, she did not know much and her understanding of language and of manners was little; and her sisters were wearing beautifull silks , and the Masters were proud and kind, and the Lady's dresses where beautifull.
And in the sunset she looked to the ocean and she was happy but not fulfilled.


4 THE HUNTRESS

and suddenly a Woman appeared, She was Proud and very beautifull , and was wearing a bow and a slave girl on a chain. The Kajira sisters told her She was an Huntress from the Tribes; and when she came nearer, the barbarian girl got tears in her eyes, because the Huntress was wearing Red Ribbons in her hair. And the girl remembered

5 COURAGE

First the barbarian girl she could not speak; her soul was trying to remember and tears were making she could not see right. But concrete walls started to crush.
she heard the wind and saw the ribbons float gently and gather all her courage, looked up for one moment and she said: "Sawubona Huntress, this girl loves Your red ribbons"

6 RED RIBBONS

An Huntress looks to a girl with tears in her eyes, for a moment she did not speak and then she took her red ribbons and gave them to the girl.
Red ribbons are floating in the wind; concrete walls are tumbling down.
A girl moved to the Tribes and learns to serve with fire and in her heart is joy and peace

7. MY MISTRESS

On a beautifull island in the ocean, under a flag of compassion and love, on the highest mountain top, in the thousand colours of a sunset , a Huntress took a collar and clicked it on a girls neck and called her "mine"
And a girl with ribbons in her hair, cried tears of joy when in her heart the last walls was tumbling down, when she was smiling, and beaming and beaming and .... said "My Mistress, your girl loves You"

8. THE GIFT

My lovely Mistress had a partner .... and red ribbons always loved to see the love between my Mistress and her partner.... and one day ..... I was givan away as a gift to the partner of my Mistress..... this girl was a lucky girl.... she had like two Mistresses.... and lived for long time with her two Mistresses on that beautifull island in the Thassa sea....
Then one day there was a big storm... and big winds.... and big waves.... and the island dissapeared in the sea... Lucky thing we were saved.... and since we lived in the Jungles of Ushindi

9. FREEDOM

Often my Mistresses , the En and the Chieftess went away to help sisters in detress.... and sometimes we were raided.... so my Mistress teached me (in secret) to practice with a bow...
and one day I managed to go to a city where my Chieftess was kept prisonner...and I managed to trade her out .... (my god I was so scared).... As a reward, my En, my Mistress gave me my freedom.....

10. TOR OF THE TRIBE

Since that day .... I take care of many in the Tribe of the Sa Jerag.... and fight at the side of my En and of my Chieftess.... and take care of new sisters....
One day the En and the Chieftess said to me .... From now on you will be Tor of the Tribe...
