World's End

World's End lies somewhere west of the known world of the Gorean mainland on the Planet of Gor.

Cities of Dust

It is not unreasonable to assume that someone of the low caste may believe that they have been transported on death to the City of Dust.

Second Knowledge

Those of high caste, knowing that the world was round and that the known world must only sit on one portion of the sphere, are the ones most likely to assume that they are simply in another land unfamiliar to them.

Earth

Goreans are generally aware that there are female slaves who come from a place called Earth, and they consider these people "barbarians". However, few of those that know this also understand that Earth is on another planet, and many assume that Earth is a distant land on the planet. It's entirely possible that many might assume that World's End is near "Earth" or a "part of Earth" itself. This assumption might be supported by the high percentage of earth characters or even by the Hyborians themselves who may be considered by some Goreans to be "of Earth".

Voyages of Aquisition

For those who are aware of such things as the Voyages of Acquisition, might propose that this distant land mass is little more than another land which people of earth have been left to their own devices.

Third Knowledge

And to the player behind the screen who knows the stories of the Priest Kings, the Kur and their combined technology, might easily suppose that this was:

• Just another human experiment, perhaps with people from Earth's Hyborian Age
• A land mass where inhabitants from other planets had been brought and placed here first as a test and then abandoned when they failed to meet some expectations of the Priest Kings.
• The last people and architecture of a native people who once populated the planet.

An Invitation to Speculation

We encourage you to experience New Sardar from the eyes of a Gorean and draw those conclusions for both the similarities and differences of this land to that of the known world. There are certainly many similar items in landscape, flora and fauna while having enough differences that it should make for a new adventure and fuel for excellent Gorean debate.

General Information

The following information is generally easy to obtain about World's End:

• The land area is relatively small perhaps 20 to 30 pasangs square, easily able to cross in a few hours.
• While the inhabitants are clearly humans like those of the main land they are barely civilized, most living in rough encampments and unable to speak proper Gorean.
• There are other non-humans on the land but are not much stranger then Urt people or Spider people.
• There are creatures here the resemble the Kurii, thalarians, larls, tarsk, verr and many other familiar Gorean animals.
