City of Ko-ro-ba/Portal Of Dreams

Ko-ro-ba -- This city of cylinders whose name simply means "village market", renamed by poets "The Towers of the Morning" is the home of Tarl Cabot, destroyed by the will of the Priest Kings and rebuilt to its former strength and beauty. Ko-ro-ba is one of the most northern situated cities of its size, located well to the north and east of Ar, although not as far north as the areas referred to as 'The Northern Forest' and 1000 pasangs from the Sardar mountains. Ko-ro-ba is famed for the fierceness of its warriors.

Ko-ro-ba lay in the midst of green and rolling hills, some hundreds of feet above the level of the distant Tamber Gulf and that mysterious body of water beyond it, spoken of in Gorean simply as Thassa, the Sea. Ko-ro-ba was not set as high and remote as for example was Thentis in the mountains of Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, but it was not a city of the vast plains either, like the luxurious metropolis of Ar, or of the shore, like the cluttered, crowded, sensuous Port Kar on the Tamber Gulf. Whereas Ar was glorious, a city of imposing grandeur, acknowledged even by its blood foes; whereas Thentis had the proud violence of the rude mountains of Thentis for its setting; whereas Port Kar could boast the broad Tamber for her sister, and the gleaming, mysterious Thassa beyond, I thought my city to be truly the most beautiful, its variegated lofty cylinders rising so gently, so joyfully, among the calm, green hills.

An ancient poet, who incredibly enough to the Gorean mind had sung the glories of many of the cities of Gor, had spoken of Ko-ro-ba as the Towers of the Morning, and it is sometimes spoken of by that name. The actual word Ko-ro-ba itself, more prosaically, is simply an expression in archaic Gorean referring to a village market. ---Outlaw of Gor, 5:39-4
