Scribe Summit

The upcoming SCoG Scribe Summit will take place September 25–27, 2026, at Thunder Mountain*.

Trygg requested that the presentation schedule be completed by September 2 so the event can be promoted for approximately three weeks before the summit.

Numerous presentation slots remain available. Members were encouraged to volunteer personally and recruit knowledgeable presenters from their respective cities.

Presentation Guidelines

Presentations should generally relate to the work of the Scribes’ Caste, scholarship, education, or associated areas of Gorean knowledge.

• Presentations should typically last one ahn, or approximately one hour.
• Broader subjects may be given two ahns, or approximately two hours.
• Longer presentations may be divided into two separate sessions.
• Presenters should submit their preferred topics and availability to Trygg.
• Necessary arrangements, including equipment and rezzing permissions, can be discussed with the organizers.
• Presenters are asked to provide their presentation to the organizers in the unlikely event that the presenter can't attend at the last minute so the presentation can be made. We will return and delete the presentation afterward. Your work product will be safeguarded and credit will be given.

A list of previously presented subjects was distributed for inspiration, but members were advised that it should not limit their ideas.

Participation and Cooperation

Myriam emphasized that the summit is intended to bring together Scribes and scholars from across Gor, regardless of individual city allegiances or personal disagreements.

She encouraged participants to put aside disputes and focus on the sharing of knowledge and the interests of the Blue Caste.

Organizers stated that certain existing bans would be lifted for the three days of the summit to make broader participation possible.

Myriam specifically encouraged Lady Kati, Wynna, and Marcus to consider presenting material from their existing teaching notes.

Proposed Presentation by Hermes

Hermes proposed a presentation concerning Gorean botanical and geographical research, with possible discussion of:

• Regional plant growth.
• Sa-Tarna, rep, ka-la-na, grapes, and other trade crops.
• Medicinal and culinary herbs.
• Lumber trees and regional resources.
• Animal habitats.
• Food safety, including concerns about fish in tropical waters.
• The relevance of these subjects to scholars, merchants, physicians, and city builders.

Trygg and Myriam both expressed support for the proposal.

Hermes indicated that he could present in two one-hour sessions and was generally available for start times between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. (SL time).

He also announced that his current Gorean botany course is expected to conclude on September 7, with a zoology course beginning the following week.

Materials Received

Lady Kati received:

• Presenter Registration — SCoG Scribe Summit Sept 25–27*
• List of Possible Topics for Scribe Summit 2026
• Affiche Gorean Zoology 2

Posters advertising the summit will also be distributed for display in libraries and other appropriate locations.

Next Meeting

Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2026
Location: Thunder Mountain
Meeting options: 8 a.m. or 5 p.m. (SL time)

For Florida time, those meetings are at 11 a.m. or 8 p.m.

The meeting will allow participants to become familiar with Thunder Mountain before the summit.

After the meeting concluded, Kar requested that a thought of hers be added to the minutes. Her actual comment was not included in the provided conversation and will need to be obtained separately.

[8:25 AM] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): So is there a criteria for the subject and the length of the lesson?

We might not agree on somethings, but our caste 'in this place' is a priority and it should come before personal differences. We all as a matter of respect to the caste we join, are expected to do this... it is to share the knowledge, petty squabbles or differences should be put aside... please endeavour to consider your capability to do a lecture or to showcare your favourite or chosen topic and send to Trygg."

[8:45 AM] Second Life: TryggTyran gave you List of Possible Topics for Scribe Summit 2026.

[8:45 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): raises his hand "May I make a proposal?"

[8:45 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Yes, Hermes

[8:45 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Please do

[8:46 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): Well, the caste of scribes is also the caste of scholars, and that is what I am personally interested in.

[8:46 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): We have a long-term research going on in Isfahan in Gorean biology. As some of you here present know, because you attended some lessons, I'm currently giving a course on Gorean botany, now in its 15th week, with an enthusiastic audience. I will terminate this course on September 7 and start the following one about Gorean zoology the week after.

You are all cordially invited to attend, or to just come and have a look if the course pleases you

[8:46 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): At the Scribe Summit, I would love to share some important geographical results of the Botanical research with repercussions for city architects, healers and merchants - but basically botanical research that should be interesting to any Gorean, and in particular to any scholar.

[8:46 AM] zCS # [Mod] Cai Windsor switched from [Away] to [RP].

[8:47 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): It concerns questions like what grows where, what can be produced where for export, like Sa-Tarna or Rep, Ka-la-na or grapes, healing and kitchen herbs, lumber trees and so on, but also which animals live where, and which products are safe for human use.

[8:47 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): In the tropical waters, for example, fish are often poisonous, which is why we around the Schendi cannot use Thassa fish for consumption - a matter that might also be of importance for a city like Teletus which is as close to the equator as Isfahan.

[8:48 AM] Megan Payne (flowergirlsdeath) is offline.

[8:48 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): This is on-going research and I'd be happy to enter into discussions with anyone interested. 

If the organizers of the summit find it of interest, I might provide a two-hour talk (or twice an hour) where I resume the most important results and further research to be done.

[8:48 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): Done.

[8:48 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): raises and passes around a printed leaflet

[8:49 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): One for every person present

[8:49 AM] Second Life: prinzensaft gave you Affiche Gorean zoology 2.

[8:49 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran) nods. "I am familiar with your work, Hermes and I attend your sessions as time permits. I think that the topic would be a fine one for a session."

[8:50 AM] Myriam-Aliyah Krigerand (noirnyte.spires): I think that would be fascinating and could hold anyone's attention for that perod of time, please let Trygg know when you can do the talk and it will be scheduled. *grins*

[8:51 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "As far was length of presentation, to address Marcus' point. We would like to keep the presentations to one ahn, or, if the subject is broad and all-encompassing, two ahns. You will notice that Victoria Forstander is presenting a part one and part two of here presentations."

[8:51 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): Thank you! I am quite flexible and can talk any time starting between 9 am and 2pm.

[8:51 AM] Hermes (prinzensaft): Well in that case, twice an ahn.

[8:52 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Thank you Hermes. We will talk more on that outside of this meeting.

[8:54 AM] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) accepts the scroll from Hermes and reads it

[8:55 AM] Myriam-Aliyah Krigerand (noirnyte.spires): Lady Wynna you are teaching now? Lady Kati and and Sir Marcus, you are all teaching, there was time only Abraham taught and only Abraham spoke, and did these events, with a few others who are present here today making their mark. Id invite you all to look to your notes, and see what you can come up with. This invite will go out across Gor...and we want voices 'yours' to be heard and seen to be heard, please consider participating.

[8:56 AM] Myriam-Aliyah Krigerand (noirnyte.spires): "it can do you no harm...only you will gain."...

[8:56 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): So, the task ahead is to recruit and schedule presenters, send out the posters.

[8:57 AM] Myriam-Aliyah Krigerand (noirnyte.spires): nods, "hopefully".

[9:02 AM] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) "Thank you for the meeting." smiled"

# 📜 **The City of Besnit Proudly Presents** 📜

# **The Besnit Symposium of Scribes**

### *September 11–13, 2026*

The City of Besnit proudly invites the Scribes of Gor to gather for three days of scholarship, discussion, and fellowship at the Besnit Symposium of Scribes.

This symposium is dedicated to the pursuit and sharing of knowledge, bringing together Scribes from cities across Gor to exchange ideas, discuss the traditions and responsibilities of the Scribe Caste, and strengthen the bonds that unite those who preserve the written word.

While the symposium is centered upon the Scribe Caste, all are welcome to attend. Warriors, Merchants, Builders, Physicians, Initiates, Administrators, and citizens alike will find value in the wisdom and experience shared throughout the event.

## 📖 Symposium Presentations

Throughout the three-day symposium, distinguished Scribes will present lectures and discussions on topics including:

* Gorean law and legal traditions

* History and culture

* Administration and governance

* Record keeping and archives

* Education and mentorship

* Research and scholarship

* Other subjects chosen by our guest speakers

Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions, engage in thoughtful discussion, and exchange ideas with Scribes from across the Gorean world.

## ⚖️ Featured Event: Mock Trial

A highlight of the symposium will be a live **Mock Trial**, demonstrating the Gorean judicial process from investigation through judgment. Guests will witness the duties of Scribes, Magistrates, advocates, witnesses, and citizens as a fictional legal case unfolds before the assembly.

Whether you are new to Gorean roleplay or an experienced participant, this presentation promises to be both educational and entertaining.

## 📅 Event Information

**Dates:** September 11–13, 2026

**Location:** Event Center, City of Besnit

**Admission:** Open to all.

---

Join us in Besnit as we celebrate the pursuit of knowledge, the traditions of the Scribe Caste, and the enduring value of scholarship. We look forward to welcoming Scribes and honored guests from across Gor to an annual gathering of learning and fellowship.

Scribes who would like to be a presenter at this years symposium or take part in the mock trail please send a notecard to William Carver or Tʋʋli Hiɱʋɾɑ Bσɑ (tuuli.moonchild) with Subject, Date and Time you would like to speak.

[8:45 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): One more thing I would like your opinions on. Is 6 am SL a good time to begin the summit sessions? I live in SL time and that is a bit early, but I will be here if the group agrees that 6 am to 5 pm is timing that will guarantee the best attendance

[8:46 AM] Aneesh Teardrop: @

[8:47 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Aneesh?

[8:48 AM] Aneesh Teardrop: I do have feelings on that because of those ahead of our time. Say they are Aussie or European. There times are way ahead and 6am gives them the best chance to be there. might be 6am for you but it's like midnight for some Australians.

[8:50 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Fair enough. So, is everyone comfortable with the hours stated, 6 am SL to 17:00 SL which is about 5 pm in US parlance.

[8:50 AM] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath): Sounds good to me....

[8:50 AM] Aneesh Teardrop: sounds fair to me

[8:59 AM] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Yes, William Carver is hosting a Scribe Symposium at Besnit, which I plan to attend on September 11-13, two weeks before out event. The timing is  interesting, but we can offer some of the same presenters on different topics. I will pass out his notecard on the event to all of you so you can see it. I plan to offer William membership in our group so that he knows what we are doing, to avoid duplication of topics. I will keep track of what they are doing through the original Scribe Caste of Gor group and Blue Caste group. But in the meantime, here is the note card that went out

[9:00 AM] ꝀȺɌ (karisima.stein): Thank you, Trygg
