Selnar **** Cos, one of Gor’s two largest maritime Ubarates. Cos lies
north of Tyros and west of Port Kar, Which latter city is located in the

There are four
major cities on Cos, Telnus, Selnar, Temos and Lad. Telnus is the largest
of these and has the best harbor. The Ubar of Cos is Lurius, From the city
of Jad, the capital of Tyros.

years ago Tyros and Cos Joined fleets for war on Port Kar. But in a
significant naval battle, The two Ubarates were defeated.

"The deck was white and smooth to my knees, It had been
rubbed with deck stones, Washed down and scrubbed. The deck-cage girls, on
their hands and knees, Ankles shackled, attended to this work."
