"THE GOD GAMES:Legend of Kor"...(cont.) Chapter One

There are four rivers that divide Kor into four roughly-equal sections; the Lantel, the Mondel, the Salis, and the Avondel. Kor is cooler than Earth with an average temperature of 68 degrees; a high of 80 degrees, and a low of 20 degrees. There is a huge dormant volcano, Vulpan, in the center of Kor, and mountain ranges encircle it. The Korians speak a single language, but each region has its own dialect. Usually speech is done through telepathy but there are certain orks, skrees, and whistles for warnings and greetings. ONE has sent the four of us, Tom, Ed, Glenna, and me, to Kor to listen to the people's prayers; observe the actions of all four peoples; and get to know the leaders of the resistance movements to give them our support and suggestions. It has been reported, that Selve is being ruled by a very bigoted dictator, Gog, who wants to annihilate the Wales, whom he considers a backward and primitive people, who do not deserve the rich land that they possess; and on which they grow 95% of the food for all of Kor. Gog has moved several special weapons forces into Emon, Voun, and Wale in an effort to capture any Walean who is traveling alone. The Wales are shot or strangled, and left lying by the side of the road as an example to all of what his intentions are. In Voun and Emon, his men capture as many people as possible to be their slaves and work in their gold and silver mines. Gog has written a treatise detailing his desire to annihilate all of the Wales. When they are exterminated, he will then own all of their farmlands and can control all of the other countries with threats of starvation. He would control all agriculture, the precious opalescent fish that are such a delicacy, and he waould also control the sugar beet, a narcotic plant, so he could greatly raise its price. Kor is the second planet from the sun, Veral. The closest planet to Veral is tiny Ermit with one moon. Kor is second and has one moon, about half the size of Earth's moon. The third planet is Notel with five small moons and a ring like Saturn. The fourth, and largest, planet is Wanden with three large moons, and last there is Leven, about half the size of Kor,with one medium sized moon. Veral is large, but only about three-fourths the size of Earth's sun, and although quite bright, does not give off as much heat as Earth's sun. I began to hear people stirring, and so I came down off of the ceiling and started the coffee pot going.
