Atmosphere

Sparrow Song is a Gorean-based sim located in Southern Torvaldsland.

​

We say Gorean-based because, by some people's standards, we aren't strictly adherent enough to John Norman's vision, to be classified as "By the Book". In the choice between upsetting rigid opinions by saying we are BTB, or having to reign in the occasional times that people wander too far off-theme... we chose the more relaxed path. We feel it leaves more roleplay opportunities open for more of the people. That's a good thing. Amazing roleplay is our goal!

 

We do, however, strive to keep things at Sparrow Song as close to authentic as possible.

(This is not the place for your dragon, motorcycle, or angel wings. Sorry.)

​

The Basics...

​

Sparrow Song is a thriving village near the Southwestern edge of Torvaldsland. While no stranger to bitter winters, you will find we are relatively shielded from the worst of the intense cold and enjoy moderate weather most of the time.

​

If you are uncertain what to wear when coming for a visit, or want to better understand the setting... try thinking of the Viking Age and the Norse people. (Only with less ice and fewer anger issues, thankfully.)

​

Torvaldsland is considered a "barbarian" culture and typically doesn't adhere to the beliefs and practices of the rest of Gor, however, at Sparrow Song you will find slave kennels, a healer's office, a love of knowledge, and a thriving merchant class among many other things.
