The Tahari ring, given to Tarl Cabot by a Kur ally, was used by him to help him disarm a destructive device from the Steel Worlds which would have destroyed the planet. Cabot gave the ring to Samos, who intrusted it to Shaba, a famed explorer credited with discovering the source of the Ua. Shaba used the ring to aid in his explorations and to entice Cabot to follow him to into the jungle. He needed Cabot to ensure someone would return his many maps and scrolls of exploration to civilized Gor. He died, as he expected, at the source of the Ua River named for him, Lake Shaba. The ring was returned to Cabot by Bila Haruma, after Shaba's death. ~Tribesmen of Gor, pages 285-294 and 303~ ~Explorers of Gor, pages 27-34, 431-435, and 449~ Tajuks (noun): a minor tribe of the Tahari; they are a vassal tribe of the Aretai ~Tribesmen of Gor page 342~ Ta'Kara (noun): a minor tribe of the Tahari; they are a vassal tribe of the Kavars ~Tribesmen of Gor page 93~ Tal (noun): a common gorean greeting often accompanied with a salute performed by raising the right hand to shoulder level, palm inward.
