Welcome to Port Cos!

Luthers scrolls #56
Port Cos was a true colony, founded by settlers from Cos over one hundred years ago. (prior to the events in the books, ed.) Its connections to Cos now are primarily historical and cultural. It has few economic or legal ties to Cos. It also possesses its own Home Stone. Port Cos has probably the strongest navy on the Vosk. This is in part due to the skill and experience of their seamen, many who were native Cosians, mercenaries or veterans of the Cosian navy on detached duty. Most of the other river towns have merchant ships and few war ships.

The new friendship of Ar's Station and Port Cos becomes quite evident during the events of Renegades of Gor. During the Cos/Ar war, Cos opts to invade Ar's Station. The Cosian forces are led by Policrates, the pirate leader who had been enslaved at the end of Guardsman of Gor. Myron, Polemarkos of Temos and cousin to the Ubar of Cos, freed Policrates from a slave galley. Despite a valiant defensive effort, Ar's Station is conquered, burnt and the Home Stone taken. Now this touches upon an apparent and important error in the novels. As Ar's Station is only an outpost, and not a colony, it is not supposed to have its own Home Stone. It is supposed to share the Home Stone of Ar. Yet, it has a Home Stone of its own in Renegades of Gor.

Agrippa Pontus, after developing connections with insurgents in Port Cos during the long absense of the previous administrator and during the recess of Port Cos's senate, arrives with a detachment of regular military marines and navy. Taking advantage of the power vaccuum, the detachment occupies and establishes itself as the new gaurd for the incoming senate, a senate whose members have yet to be elected! Most of the people of Port Cos consider Agrippa Pontus occupation to be illegitimate, but the situation provides opportunity for important citizens and foriegn land owners in the Port city to maneuver for power and quite possibly, take control of the city for themselves. Lucien the Ubar of Cos has declared Agrippa and his consorts traitors to Cos and the banks of Port Cos have been significantly drained of species in order to pay the tribute of the Cosian Ubarate. The situation is precarious.This is where you come in. You are the important citizens and foriegn land owners of Port Cos. You may be from Ar or the tahari, you may have lived in Port Cos your whole life. Now is your chance to explit the situation and become the defacto ruler of Port Cos.
