A Traveler's Tale:

By Ar the Sailor

Greetings, esteemed citizens of Port Olni and beyond. I am Arealius of House Barbosa, once a humble scribe and courier in the service of Lady Sela Montgomery, now a seasoned mariner and cartographer of the vast and varied lands of Gor. My journey has taken me from the bustling ports of the Olni and Vosk rivers to the expansive Gleaming Thassa, and now, I embark on a new expedition under the patronage of the Ubar of Port Olni and the guidance of Lady Kar, Scribe of Port Olni.

A Youthful Beginning

My early years were spent in the quiet halls of learning, where I was trained as a scribe. My skills in writing and cartography were soon recognized, and I was assigned as a courier for the Port Kar ambassador at large, Lady Sela Montgomery. This role introduced me to the world of diplomacy and exploration, setting the stage for my future adventures.

The Call of the Sea

As I matured, the call of the sea grew stronger. I left the life of a scribe behind and embraced the life of a sailor. The rivers and seas of Gor became my home, and I navigated their waters with a sense of purpose and wonder. My maps of ancient cities, now turned to dust, gained renown for their accuracy and detail. These maps not only served as navigational aids but also as artistic representations of Gor’s rich history.

A New Artistic Vision

In recent years, my artistic endeavors have taken a new direction. Inspired by the ever-changing landscapes and vibrant cultures of Gor, I have begun creating stylized impressionist pictures that capture the essence of life on our world. These pieces, though different from my earlier realistic works, offer a unique perspective on the beauty and complexity of Gor.

The Great Expedition

Now, I embark on a grand expedition, commissioned by the Ubar of Port Olni and overseen by Lady Kar. This journey will take me through the cities of the Olni and Vosk rivers, along the southern coastline towards Ianda, and beyond by round ship. From there, we will venture to the Islands of Cos and finally to the rugged lands of Torvaldsland.

Sharing the Journey

Throughout this expedition, I will document my experiences in letters and paintings, which will be carried back to Port Olni by trusted couriers of the Merchant Caste. These accounts will be published regularly in the Gazette of Port Olni, with monthly consolidated editions to be added to the Port Olni manuscripts for posterity.

A Journey of Discovery

This journey is not just a personal quest but a shared adventure with the citizens of Port Olni. The members of the Merchant House Barbosa and I look forward to bringing you along on this voyage through our inspired art and writings. Together, we will capture the essence of modern Gor in text and texture, preserving it for future generations.

May the winds be ever in our favor, and may the spirit of discovery guide us on this grand expedition.
