In the orbit of Hesius - Guidelines

Guidelines

The content found within the books of Gor, written by John Norman, will be used as the guidelines for this group.  Due to this there will be no Guidelines, per say, that will be written, instead we will use the quotes about the Kurii directly taken from the books, of which there are many. 
I have done the research and the work for you.  Therefore, if you wish to learn about the kur that you will be portraying as a character within the game, all you need to do is click on the subject title below and read. (This is an ongoing project and there are still many more quotes to be added)
Special note:  Humans CANNOT speak the kurii language, it is impossible for a human to reproduce the kurii sounds.  However, they can learn to understand basic sounds, such as commands and are able to "get the gist" of something that is being told to them.
