The HOME STONE in GOREAN SOCIETY


In the languages of GOR the word "Homestone" is of critical
understanding. Indeed, without a firm understanding of the word and
the concept the visitor is in mortal danger.

In Gorean, the term GOR means "Homestone." The planet itself is,
quite literally, the Homestone of its people Further, each and every
Gorean who has not been outlawed has a "Homestone," with slaves
taking the Homestone of their owners. If freed, slaves can again claim the Homestone of their birth.

Although it is not unknown for a person to change Homestones, it is
extremely rare. Since city warfare is common Gor, those that change Homestones are often suspect and those who are newly arrived on
Gor are cautioned that declaring for the wrong one might prove
as fatal as not having one. Nevertheless, newcomers on Gor will need to find a City and declare for it. Outlaws, those without a Homestone are not even welcome on Port Kar any more.

As Bluto of Treve has said "a HomeStone is the physical, spiritual, social and emotional anchor of a Gorean. It is a the place a FreePerson owes loyalty, fealty and honor.. for most it is the place of their birth.. for others it is an adopted home...for a peasant it is no more than a rock in his hut, but each defends his HomeStone with his life."

a girl had found this on a site while searching and found this to be an excellent explanation of what a HomeStone means. The only changes made were some minor spelling corrections. It is her hope that those at Gorean Foundation will not be angered with her. If she has not be pleasing she will gladly return it to the original formation as found before.
