The Academy Opens & The Foundations of Gor - February 10

Journal Entry: February 10, 2026 

Location: Ar's Station 

Mood/Title: The Academy Opens & The Foundations of Gor

Today marked the successful first session of my "Introduction to Gorean Civilization" class at the new Station Academy. I guided a small but attentive group, including a newcomer named Olivia and Carola Titus, through the foundational realities of our world. Later in the afternoon, I noticed a new arrival wandering near the academy—a physician named Tiara Ahris. I introduced myself as the Scribe and helped direct her back to the inn near the docks so she could settle in.

Class Summary: Introduction to Gorean Civilization

• The Antichthon: Gor is the Counter-Earth, sharing Earth's orbit but remaining perfectly hidden behind the sun.

• Physics and Environment: Gor's lower specific gravity dictates our biology, allowing for greater physical feats and towering architecture, while the harsh environment selects for strength.

• The Priest-Kings: They maintain Gor as a protected, intentionally primitive preserve, isolated from Earth's destructive industrialization.

• The Moons: The Master Moon, the Handmaiden, and the Prisoner dictate the rhythms of Gorean life.

• The Home Stone: The absolute soul and legal anchor of any territory. It represents sovereignty and civilization; without it, there is no loyalty, and people are reduced to beasts.

• Voyages of Acquisition: Earthlings are brought here permanently and must abandon their old concepts of inherent rights to embrace Gorean duties and the Caste system to survive.

To Do:

• Prepare for the repeat session of the introductory class this Thursday.

• Finalize the lesson plan for next week's lecture on the Caste System.

• Check in with Samuel regarding the arrival of the new physician, Tiara Ahris.
