Welcome to my beautiful home.
Be polite. Be respectful.
I will be the same.
There is no guarantee of a deep snow pack in winter, nor the fierce drenching thunderstorms of summer.
Water is precious......in this place.....on Gor.
Even when used for soothing decoration, it is never deliberately wasted.

The unparalleled beauty of the sky above the Voltai mountains at night.
When the stars are shining bright and only the prison moon is in sight
atop a sacred peak.
And where is here?
East of the Thassa, west of the winds.

Work is available here for those who wish it.
I pay :
25 copper per full day's work, plus meals. I cook reasonably well, I make basic good food.
Spring water, milk and black wine are the only beverages I offer.
In the event you don't like my cooking :
Fishing is permitted.
Kindly stay away from the riparian areas where the wild rice grows.
Hunting is NOT permitted on my lands. Just don't do it.
A huntress lives here and the scent of blood excites her.
Camping in designated areas only.
Keep your fire small and well clear of dried grasses.
Don't overstay your welcome.
Be polite, be respectful. I will be the same.
Home.
Beautiful private spaces
For wintering over guests
a series of connecting cottages and communal bathing tub have been built in the peace of the trees.
Summer resting places.
Reclaimed by nature,
Phelan's cottage.
Ground level cottage at the edge of the tree line.
( Currently occupied by my friend until I hear word it is not )
He prefers the mountains peaks. Every now and then I send a verr up there with a knapsack filled with food and wine. One day he may come down, who knows.
Gardens.
With a recirculating fountain in case of severe drought.
The Ayurvedic Healing Herbs Garden,
is thriving.

Phelan's Gates.
Down river of my home, the settlement of the Anasazi tribe, with whom I have a long standing trade agreement. The entire Anasazi tribe disappeared from the desert southwest in Arizona several hundreds of earth years ago.
Whew !! THAT mystery solved !!
They are a reserved people, very skilled, very artistic. Their dialect flows gently like precious water.
Instead of cave dwellings in the side of the cliffs as they did on earth, they live in abandoned clay insect mounds which they've turned into beautiful homes.
Expert with the spear, the bow and arrow, they are a peaceable people. Until they are not.
Aren't we all.....
A platform unfolds from my dock. Often of an evening I sit and listen to the songs of the coming night.
