Priest Kings
- Nest - The colony and home of the Priest-Kings in the Sardar;
the ruler of the Nest is the Mother from whose eggs the Priest-Kings
are hatched.
(Priest-Kings
of Gor, page 84)
For all its
size it moved with a delicate, predatory grace. It was
perhaps very light for its bulk, or very strong, perhaps both.
It moved with a certain deliberate, stalking movement; its
tread was regal and yet it seemed almost
dainty, almost fastidious; it was almost as if the creature
did not care to soil itself by contact with the floor of the
passage.
It walked
on four extremely long, slender, four-jointed stalks that
were its supporting legs, and carried its far more muscular,
four-jointed grasping legs, or appendages, extremely high,
almost level with its jaw, and in front of its body. Each
of these grasping appendages terminated in four much smaller,
delicate hooklike prehensile appendages, the tips of which
normally touched one another. I would learn later that in
the ball at the end of its forelegs from
which the smaller prehensile appendages extended, there was
a curved, bladed, hornlike structure that could spring forward;
this happens spontaneously when the leg's tip is inverted,
a motion which at once exposes the hornlike blade and withdraws
the four prehensile appendages into the protected area
beneath it.

Indeed it is considered a crime against the Priest-Kings to
bloody one's weapons at the fairs. The Priest-Kings, I might
note, seem to be more
tolerant of bloodshed in other localities.

1)
