| 520 | I have a question I was asked by one of the people who rps in my discord group in Northern Gor the question asked was “how long is a Gorean Foot?” I’m pretty good with most things in Northern Gor but because I don’t use measurements often it gets rough to remember
Answer
The Gorean Foot is roughly 12 ½" (317.5mm or 31.75cm).
There is no reason to believe (and certainly no evidence to support a belief) that the length of a Gorean Foot differs in Torvaldsland.
You can also find all there is to know about Gorean measurements here, along with a conversion calculator.
The Gorean foot, interestingly, is almost identical to the Earth foot. Both measures doubtless bear some distant relation to the length of the foot of an adult human male. The Gorean foot is, in my estimation, just slightly longer than the Earth foot; based on the supposition that each of its ten Horts is roughly one and one-quarter inches long, I would give the Gorean foot a length of roughly twelve and one-half inches, Earth measure.
