                                   BRIEF HISTORY OF AR:  One of the oldest cities on Gor, it has 10,000 years of recorded                                                             history. Formerly the seat of the  Empire of Ar. Located on "the plains" of central Gor, between                                                                   Vosk R. and Cartius R, and between Voltai Mts. and Thassa.   Described as being "low in the                                                                           temperate  zone of the Northern hemisphere of Gor." The largest, most populous and luxurious of all                                                       Gor. It is similar in many respects to the city of Rome upon ancient Earth. Citizens of Ar tend to be the                                                       most civilized and technologically developed of  Goreans, and Ar is a cultural center for much of Gor,                                                       setting the prevaling fashions in many other cities. Ar is at war with its ancient enemy, the island                                                                 Ubarate of Cos.Its walls, its countless cylinders, its spires and towers, its lights and beacons, the high bridges are lit by lanterns and connect many of the towers the sight is unbelievably exciting and fantastic, particularly as seen from the more lofty bridges on the roofs of the higher cylinders. It has a set of double walls, made of white marble, the first is 300 feet high and the second 20 yards from the first is 400 feet high.

 

Ar is most marvelously viewed when seen at night from tarnback. All gorean cities save one are built by free men. Surrounded by great walls, it's great Gate opens onto the Viktel Aria and there are forty other gates as well. Her politics lack the grandeur of the city itself. The powerful of Ar contributed to a disaster in the delta by not supporting their own army against the invading forces of Cos. Her citizenry burned their gates and tore down their walls to aid the Cosians. Those Warriors who were betrayed by their city returned to it; their goal to liberate Ar by whatever means to revenge her humiliation and regain the glory that was hers. Curulean: the most prestigious slave auction house in the city of Ar.
