What a pity! The Tahari is not safe again…
Sunday, November 30th, 2025
A large group of armed men gathered yesterday in the main square of the Oasis of Lame Kaiila. They had responded to a call to track down and capture a band of outlaws who, according to caravan leaders from the Oasis of Klima, were hiding near the Exchange Point. Or perhaps near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara; no one knew for sure.
Those who knew the area waited warily, fearing the dangers, especially the ever-present quicksand and the difficulty of attacking the exchange point should someone happen to be entrenched there.
The expedition was ill-fated from the very beginning. Everyone had hoped that Salt Ubar would send its elite troops, the Guards of the Dunes. But that didn’t happen. They waited in vain. Consequently, there was a lack of organization and experienced military leadership. The men began to grumble in frustration. One heard disrespectful remarks like, “He’s a man who values comfort more than fighting,” or “He just sits in his palace and does nothing.”
At least the ruins of the Oasis of Mandala were reached without incident, and nobody got lost.
But when we reached the enormous rocks that protect the Oasis of Klima from the sandstorms, and passed the well-known rocky outcrop, what many had feared came to pass: the outlaws had prepared and ambushed the expedition.
There was great confusion, and no one knew who was friend or foe because, of course, everyone involved was masked for protection from the sand, and no one was giving proper orders. Unfortunately, all of us were hacked down, shot, and without exception, bound.
Fortunately, it turned out that the band of outlaws had arrived at the Exchange Point purely by chance and had no idea how to get back to an oasis or where the paths were. We pointed out to them that without the help of the locals, they would have perished miserably from thirst.
Someone offered to bring the outlaws back if they simply released the majority of the prisoners. There was supposedly a tunnel system near the ruins to bypass the quicksand. This was, of course, a trick and a lie, but the outlaws fell for it.
In the labyrinth, which had already been explored several times, they managed to lead the outlaws astray. And the few who reached the surface again wandered among the dunes. All the prisoners were freed. No one knows where the outlaws are now. But one cannot be sure that they are still near the ruins, because that is the only place with water.
The men blamed Salt Ubar for his shameful neglect of the dangers posed by outlaws and the safety of the caravans.
Make the Tahari safe again!
Wednesday, November 26th, 2025
A caravan of Kaiila is being prepared in the Oasis to move to the Exchange Point of the Oasis of Klima.
Urgent: A very large group of outlaws, including women, has been seen near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara. They appear to be heading towards the Oasis of Klima’s Exchange Point. Perhaps they are simply lost and don’t know where they are. However, they have attacked a caravan.
The caravan leaders refuse to march to Klima as long as the area remains unsafe.
The Southern Trade Alliance (STA) is currently assembling the largest possible number of armed men. We need help!
All male members of the STA who are able to carry weapons are needed!
Next march to the Oasis of Klima: November 29 (Saturday) noon SLT / 8pm GMT, 21:00 GMT+1-german time)

Slave Auction at the Oasis of Lame Kaiila
Friday, November 14th, 2025
A slave auction was held at the Oasis of Lame Kaiila. Up for sale were slaves who had recently been abducted from Earth—from an island called “Cuba.” The Oasis’s lecture hall was packed to capacity; some attendees even had to stand. The event was a resounding success.

Bring Food to Klima!
Monday, August 18th, 2025
The people of the Oasis of Klima were starving and desperately needed food! In the exchange point of Klima, a parasite (Toxoplasma gondii) had infested almost all food and made it inedible.
The last caravan only made it as far as the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara. There, a violent sandstorm caught them by surprise. The caravan leaders tried to bring the food into the labyrinth, but the men disappeared, presumably perishing in the quicksand.
The Southern Trade Alliance and Oasis of Lame Kaiila equipped an expedition as quickly as possible. They set off a few days ago….
As every desert dweller knows, east of the Oasis of Lame Kaiila begins a dangerous area with plenty of quicksand, in which one sometimes has to wade up to one’s knees for hours. Only a few caravan leaders know the uncertain paths.
After a strenuous march in the blazing sun, almost always moving in single file, the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara finally came into view. There’s a little water there, but little protection from the sandstorms. As expected, some of the surviving Kaiila were recaptured.
Afterward, most members of the expedition climbed into the two known entrances to the ancient labyrinth to search for the food crates. Others remained on the surface with the Kaiila. The area as a whole is very unsafe, and even Kurii had been seen there.
Remains of the lost caravan were soon discovered. They even found an open crate of dried fish and several barrels of Ka-la-na.
After the entire labrintt had been thoroughly searched, the crates were loaded and they marched on to the Exchange Point of Klima, which was completely deserted and empty.
As the guards of the dunes and a few others know, the path behind the Exchange Point climbs steeply, through high dune ridges, to a plateau. The Oasis of Klima itself lies in a wide valley, which is not so easy to find, because one has to descend into the salt mines.
The entrance to the salt mines is extremely difficult to find and is also blocked by a heavy gate to protect the interior from the constant sandstorms.
After all members of the caravan had arrived safely in the salt mines and no one had been injured by the salt sharks (in some places you have to wade through relatively deep water), you could finally march to the exit of the mines and to the Oasis of Klima itself.
One can imagine how happy the inhabitants of the oasis were when the rescuers unloaded and stacked numerous crates of all kinds of food in the well-known tavern T’zshal’s Inn!

Memorial event for Doc Grun
Tuesday, July 29th, 2025
Memorial event [on earth] for Doc Grun, former Pasha of the Oasis of Nine Wells.
[14:58] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza): I don’t know if it has already been said: I already knew Doc Grun as the Pasha of the Oasis of Nine Wells on Gor. I could always rely on him, even when Landa was at war with the 19 Cities. He was one of the co-founders of the Southern Trade Alliance (STA), along with Angel, the Pasha of Sand Sleen, who is also here today. A loyal ally, even in times of crisis, is worth more than a wife, just saying.
[14:59] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza): After he had to close his sim, he came to Landa, where I was the administrator, and asked for Asyl, which of course I agreed to.
[14:59] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza): And after many years, a year ago to be exact, I offered him the opportunity to return to Gor and seek his virtual home in the Oasis of Lame Kaiila, and he accepted. But it was unfortunately too late, the disease had already progressed too far.
[15:00] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza): He was a stubborn person, in that we were very similar, maybe that’s why we got along well
[15:01] Brit Weymann (brittanybreanna): smiles
[15:01] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza): I will miss him as a friend! I don’t know what else to say, I’m sad…
Another March to Klima and the Fight with the Torvaldslanders
Saturday, April 19th, 2025
A group of heavily armed men gathered at the Oasis of Lame Kaiila. Two important figures had to be escorted to the labyrinth near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara.
Waiting there were the Initiate of Isfahan and a masked man with bodyguards, who, however, refused to reveal his identity. Only a few knew who he was. The expedition soon set out, with scouts leading the way.
It was difficult to get into the underground labyrinth, but they knew from the last time where the room the initiate wanted to investigate was, and there were still torches hanging on the walls.
Some very bold warriors were impatient and marched ahead towards the Exchange Point of Klima, while everyone else was still in the labyrinth. Unfortunately, the rumors were confirmed: they were surprised by a group of very well-armed men. A group of Torvaldslanders had gotten lost in the desert. They overheard a caravan leader at the En’Kara Fair boasting that the exchange point at the Oasis of Klima could be easily reached. The Torvaldslanders arrived there by chance, but don’t know how to get back. The battle was lost, but the Northmen only wanted to find a guide who would lead them out of the desert.
When the other members of the expedition reached the battlefield, the misunderstanding was cleared up. Since the Oasis of Klima was not far, they agreed to refresh themselves there — the Torvaldslanders would have been unable to find their way if they had come near the Exchange Point again.
The men cooled her wounds and quenched her thirst in the T’Zshal’s Inn of Klima.
The Kasbah
Sunday, March 16th, 2025
The support of the kasbah of the Salt Ubar comes from fees supplied by high salt merchants, the measure of which fees, of course, they include in their wholesale pricing to lesser distributors. The function of the kasbah of the Salt Ubar, thus, officially, is to administer and control the salt districts, on behalf of the Tahari salt merchants, primarily by regulating access to the districts, checking the papers and the credentials of merchants, inspecting caravans between Red Rock, and certain other oases, and the salt districts, will travel under an escort of the Guard of the Dunes.

Massacre near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara
Friday, December 6th, 2024
Urgent message to all leaders of the STA, sealed and encrypted:
Two caravans are missing! A caravan leader who was on his way from the Oasis of Lame Kaiila to the Klima Exchange Point has returned: he saw skeletons in several Kaiila, salt blocks lying around and equipment. From now on, no more caravans are allowed to go to Klima.
The Southern Trade Alliance is currently equipping an expedition. All men who can carry weapons are requested to join. We will meet at the main plaza of the Oasis of Lame Kaiila.
Find those responsible for this cowardly attack and arrest them! We must find out whether they have allies!
The armed units of the STA also searched the area around the Kasbah, but nothing was found at first. They approached every rock formation with extreme caution.
Unfortunately, the remains of the caravan and some luggage were found near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara. Numerous skeletons of the kaiila were bleaching in the desert sand. Shortly afterwards, the bandits who were responsible for this massacre and who were hiding attacked…
After a long and fierce battle, the villains were overpowered. The prisoners were taken to the salt mines of Klima…. Our fighters marched to the Oasis of Klima, where they refreshed and strengthened themselves.
