Talk:City of Ar, a Travel Guide
From Barbarians of Gor
The wind whipped through my hair as I guided my tarn towards the great city of Ar. The morning sun cast a golden hue over the landscape, and the towering walls of Ar loomed ever closer. My heart pounded with excitement and a touch of nervousness. This was Ar, the legendary city of warriors, and I was about to meet Rutilius, a respected warrior of the Red Caste.
As I descended, the city's grandeur became even more apparent. The Central Cylinder stood tall, a beacon of power and authority. I could see the amphitheater and the bustling streets below, teeming with life. My tarn let out a powerful screech as we approached the designated landing area near the great gate.
I spotted Rutilius immediately. He stood with a commanding presence, his red garb marking him unmistakably as a warrior of Ar. His eyes met mine, and I could see a mixture of curiosity and approval in his gaze. I guided my tarn to a smooth landing and dismounted with practiced ease.
"Welcome to Ar, Tiberius of Vonda," Rutilius greeted me, his voice strong and steady. "I trust your journey was uneventful?"
"Thank you, Rutilius," I replied, trying to keep my excitement in check. "The flight was smooth, and the sight of Ar from the sky is truly magnificent."
Rutilius nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Ar is indeed a city of wonders. I have planned a tour for us, and I believe you will find it both enlightening and enjoyable."
I glanced around, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. The great gate was an impressive structure, and the Viktel Aria stretched out before us, inviting exploration. My pleasure slave, who had accompanied me on the journey, stood quietly by my side, her eyes wide with wonder.
"I am eager to see all that Ar has to offer," I said, my enthusiasm evident. "Lead the way, my friend." Rutilius clapped me on the shoulder, a gesture of camaraderie. "Then let us begin. There is much to see and experience in this great city."
As we walked through the gate and into the heart of Ar, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. This was a city steeped in history and tradition, and I was about to embark on an unforgettable journey through its streets and landmarks.
