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 Tamber Gulf, which lies just
beyond the Vosk’s delta. 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, Gor’s other largest maritime ubarate, is Kasra.
Its other large city is Tentium. Her Ubar is called
Chenbar He is from Kasra, and is spoken of, I
understand, as the Sea Sleen. Some years ago Tyros and
Cos joined fleets for war on Port Kar, but in a
significant naval battle the two ubarates were
defeated. Port Kar lacked the power and shipping to
follow up its victory. Tyros and Cos, and Port Kar,
remain to this day in a state of war with respect to
one another.
The deck was white and smooth to my knees. It had been
rubbed with deck stones, and washed down and scrubbed.
The deck-cage girls, on their hands and knees, ankles
shackled, attended to this work.
