Pitching Point
Olaf Thorenston's new home is on Point Schendi, halfway between the western city gates and the Inne of the Black Larl. He has named it House Southern Torv, combining his past and present heritages.
Pitching Point is now open!!!
To the dismay of many city freewomen and the amusement and applause of most men, there is a new spot on the landscape of Schendi Beach, built for the men to have a "proper platform to throw lippy free women into the Thassa." Built by Dimitri Darkstar, and funded by Conner Rhys Monroe, the platform was recently "vandalized" by the addition of beautiful flowers on the pathways leading to the point. The flowers were removed, and guards have been posted there now to prevent further acts of reckless disregard for the manly austerity of the spot. Women are warned: Approach Pitching Point at your own risk! You could be the next one tossed in!
Justin Blood and Khouri Zain have also purchased property on Point Schendi. They are not citizens, but Khouri does plan to take her oath to Schendi soon. They have named their home Blood Stone Manor, and it is northwest of Black Larl Manor.
Sleen Pearson and Alexa Drethren are proud to announce the newest additions to their family...two beautiful baby boys, Kodi Aaron and Zanek Marcus.

Sakari Justice, Se'Merchant and Event Planner of Schendi, would like to cordially invite you to make plans to attend the "Schendi Jungle Festival!"
The Festival will consist of a Warriors Tournament along with an array of games that should tempt one to dare sign up and give them a whirl. There will be events for young children and slaves as well. Most games will be for all to participate except for events that are strictly for the Free Men. We still need volunteers to host and proctor!
If you know of any Merchants wishing to have a booth to sell their wares, please have them contact Sakari Justice.
(Website will be available soon for viewing)

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Citizenship, interestingly, in most Gorean cities, is conferred only upon the coming of age, and only after certain examinations are passed. Further, the youth of Gor, in most cities, must be vouched for by citizens of the city, not related in blood to him, and be questioned before a committee of citizens intent upon determining his worthiness or lack thereof to take the Home Stone of the city as his own. Citizenship in most Gorean communities is not something accrued in virtue of the accident of birth but earned in virtue of intent and application. The sharing of a Home Stone is no light thing in a Gorean city."
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 394
