Gor Culture Comparison

Many of the cultures from Gor are based on historical Earth cultures. This page is intended to be a way to help new players being their search for the cultures they are most interested in. Further, since we have so many Conan role-players we have included the Conan cultures as comparison as well.

Alar

Norse-like Nomads. The Alars are an amalgamation of several different barbarian tribes that reached their peaks during the fourth and fifth centuries. These barbarian tribes included such groups as the Goths, Vandals, Franks, and the Huns. But, the Alars most closely resemble a smaller barbarian tribe, the Alans.

Pani

Asian, predominantly Japanese (Earth)

Panther Girls

Red Hunters

Innuit (Earth)

Red Savages

Indians of Americans (Earth). Which specific tribe I do not know, I'm sure someone will correct me.

Rencers

A caste limited to the Vosk Delta. The Rencers do not seem to be based on any specific Earth culture. They live on small, man-made islands within the marshes of the Delta. Their primary business is the growth, cultivation and use of the rence plant.

Taluna

Torvaldsland

Norse, Viking (Earth). Aesir, Vanir (Conan)
