The Council of Cities
(C of C for this document), is a body comprised of the administrators
of the Taverns and Cities of Gorean communities. Its primary function
is to establish and uphold certain common legal codes, not to construct
rules for individual Cities, with the goal of creating continuity and
consentual order to Our environment, while also remaining true, insofar
as possible, to Gorean Tradition. It is understood between Us that
there are fundamental differences in the manner in which We each choose
to live Our lives upon Gor. This Council is not formed with an eye
toward setting one above the other; rather to take the Gorean values of
Honor and Respect that We share, and upon them build a framework in
which We might live without constant strife and conflict between Us. We
have found that such infighting is more often than not based upon a
lack of understanding and miscommunication. We do not, however, believe
that conflict is without its place upon Gor. When in the course of
Gorean interaction such conflict does arise in a fashion that affects
more then One Homestone, The C of C will be the final arbiter, ruling
without self-interest or local prejudice. The secondary function of the
C of C is one of mutual defense. There are those who would find
themselves upon Gor, and would seek to prey upon others by posing as
something they are not. There are those that would abuse, and hurt, for
no better reason than the fact that they are without Honor, Respect, or
understanding. Against these The Cities and Taverns of Irc Gor stand as
One. In the past, the predators would be caught out in one Tavern,
simply to move to another, sometimes with another name, other times
brazenly without. By common agreement, such persons would no longer
find themselves able to move with impunity. It is agreed that all
Cities are self-governing, and are to exercise the Law as they see fit
within their Own walls. This Council does not seek to impose a greater
will upon the Free Cities of Gor, and will not.
