Remembering our fallen.
In Memory of Vilmar Forkbeard, from Skjern, a dear brotherly friend inside and outside SL
Belshazzer Morningstar (called Master Bels), a Caer Cadarn Scribe HoC following Master Alex passing, as well as Builder Hoc. He was called the Compass Skald for his DJ shows on GCR. Master Bels was funny and kind, always active and helping to make Caer better.
Lady Leukothia (called Lady Leu), a founder of Caer Cadarn, Scribe HoC, and guiding light of Caer. She was honest, straightforward, and always willing to lend a hand. She’s greatly missed.
Master Alex was a long time Magistrate at Caer Cadarn, as well as stepping into the Scribe HoC role following the death of his Free Companion, Mistress Leu. He loved dance and hosted/ran/judged many dance expos.

[14:51] Tariq ibn Joshao al Samini (kitten.serpente) shouts: Holy Priest-Kings, we, your faithful people of Gor, give you thanks that you have been with us through these busy days of the Sardar Fair, that you have guided us through the activities, and granted us welcome gifts to take back with us to the many different lands from which we came to these, your sacred mountains.
Holy Priest-Kings, we, your faithful people of Gor, give you thanks that you have been with us through these busy days of the Sardar Fair, that you have guided us through the activities, and granted us welcome gifts to take back with us to the many different lands from which we came to these, your sacred mountains.
[14:51] Tariq ibn Joshao al Samini (kitten.serpente) ruft: May you also be with us, as we journey homeward, and always. Hold us secure within your golden Circle, shielded from any dangers on the journey. Bring us all back safely to our native Cities. May we all go forward from this day in the favor of Priest-Kings, obedient to their Will, under their constant protection, successful and joyful in that life which they have given us.
[14:54] Feather (alarica.lutrova) shouts: As the final day of the En’Kara Fair unfolds, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared this past week. With over 100 events – from thought-provoking discussions and immersive classes to breathtaking dance performances and thrilling sword tournaments – this year’s fair brought together a record-breaking 250+ attendees, and by its close, we will have given away more than 150 prizes.
None of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts and boundless creativity of our coordinators, staff, marshals, builders, event hosts, radio stations, and, most of all, you – the attendees who brought this fair to life. Your passion, your stories, your characters, and your presence have filled these days with joy, learning, and connection.
Soon, we will return to our Home Stones, our cities, our camps and our docks – each of us a different voice in a shared song. But until we meet again, may we hold fast to the spirit of En’Kara: a celebration not only of spring’s renewal but of
[14:54] Feather (alarica.lutrova) ruft: the enduring power of imagination, of storytelling, and of the world we bring to life, together, inspired by the legacy of John Norman’s books and our own shared passion.

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.
In Memoriam Sana
Saturday, April 19th, 2025
The funeral service took place in Belnend.
A wonderful, extremely popular, and long-time Belnends player left us on March 15, 2025… Sana (danny1 Landar) died, leaving an unfillable void… her fun in RP and the joy with which she filled each day will be missed. She played with Pechmarie Junkers or Lumi for many years, and many knew her and miss her now… but she would be the first to say, “Stop crying for me and RP as much as you can, have fun…” We will never forget her.
