# 📜 **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.

[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

[8:55 AM] ꝀȺɌ (karisima.stein): Curious mostly -  There has been mention of a Scribe Symposium happening roughly around the same time as the Scribe Summit. Has there Been any concern with the two being held so closely together.

[8:57 AM] Carola Aromata Titus (charlottefrees) is online.

[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
