Welcome

Jula Darks Village is located on the north bank of the Vosk River directly across from Port Kar. It is a part of Darks Estate and protected very well. The village was claimed by Lucas Dark long ago and rebuilt by his son, Colton Alex Dark in recent years; though he never swore to the Home Stone.  Colton gave the entire village to his son, Crison Statler. Sadly, Crison is missing and presumed  dead. 

Lucas's mate Adara Cherish Dark, with the help of Lucas and his followers created the blueprints for the village when they first came to claim it.  Back then, it was called Darks Village.  The design and everything that the village contained at that time was of barbaric nature as Adara was from Urth.  Today, alot of that barbaric design is still found within the village.  Things such as beds specially made by the craftsmen of Jula, as well as other furnishings not found on other parts of Gor, can be seen throughout Jula.  Such luxuries have stayed in the village over time, the residents within are used to such amenities and see it as a part of their every day living.  Long after the founder of the Village is passed, his legacies and way of life, continue on.

A stone wall surrounding the village is visible from the road that passes by, as well as from the Vosk River with two entrances leading into the docks on the Vosk and one through the garden. Once inside the gardens, there is  a gate visible leading into the village proper.

It is not unusual, on Gor, incidentally, for the articles sold in a shop to be manufactured on or near the premises. This is often the case with craft products, such as glassware, metalware, particularly gold and silver work, rugs and mats, sandals and jewelry. The tradesman, thus, closely supervises the production, and controls the quality of the articles he markets. There are also, of course, many shops which specialize in the sale of, so to speak, foreign goods. A major difference between Gorean shopping and that on Earth is that on Gor there are few stores of a general nature, handling a large variety of goods. One tends, usually, to go from one shop to another, garnering what one needs from a place which specializes in that sort of product. This is inconvenient, perhaps, in some respects, but at least, one knows that the shopkeeper one visits knows his goods and that the quality of his livelihood is intimately connected with the excellence of his merchandise. The place of general stores is taken largely by bazaars and markets where, quite close to one another, in various booths, sometimes of canvas, one may find a large variety of goods. There are, of course, shopping districts in all Gorean cities, where one may find clusters of shops, often specializing in different items. Sometimes, of course, certain areas specialize in, or are known for, given types of services or products. Each city usually has, for example, its "Street of Coins." On such a street, or in such an area, its banking will largely be done. Similarly most cities will have their "Street of Brands," on which street, or in which area, one would expect to find the houses of its slavers. It is to one of these houses, or one of the markets in the area, that one would go if one wished to buy a woman. As I have mentioned, most Gorean slaves are female.  FIGHTING SLAVE OF GOR-, (14) Page 214
