Tarl Cabot was brought to Gor by the Priest-Kings for a specific purpose. They wanted him to have a major impact upon the world. One of the legends of Gor states that the Priest Kings bring a warrior to Gor every thousand years to change the world. Tarl Cabot is thought to be one of those men. If true, it would also mean that about ten such men have been brought to Gor to effect a major change. Though we do not know all of the possible candidates for these epic men, we can hazard a couple guesses. One possibility would be Torvald, the legendary founder of Torvaldsland. As Torvaldsland is just over 1000 years old, the timeframe is fitting. And as he made a major impact on at least part of the Gorean world, he may qualify. The legendary Hesius may have been the first such person brought to Gor, over 10,000 years ago.
