This is being reposted from the IC site..i'm sure a lot of people here knew Mark aka Kurzon and Lady Nyx, so i felt it important to share this.
===========================
To commemorate the life of Kurzon and to pay our respects for both Kurzon & his typist Mark, we will be holding a pyre on the docks of the Isle of Scagnar, the last home he lived in to retire.
The ceremony will be held on Saturday, 9th March commencing 08:30pm US eastern. People are welcome to begin gathering at any time during the day, the Isle will be a designated safe zone for this period. All are welcome except those on the Isle’s banned list.
The below link on the IC boards advising the Gorean community of this tragic event is currently being copied by friends and passed onto Wendi, Kurzon’s rt wife so if you wish to add further responses, feel free to do so.

Greetings Goreans and All-
It is with sadness that I bring this news, the passing of a great legend *Kurzon The Hunter*
The lovely Lady Nyx *Wendi Marks wife* has given permission for a thread to be started in his honor. This thread is for any that would like to tell/say/share/ any great memories they have of * Kurzon*
Lady Nyx *Wendi* is leaving *Kurzon-Mark's*facebook page open for any who would like to leave a message/note/memory
https://www.facebook.com/mark.traub.10Welcome to Vanir’s Fjord, Torvaldsland
This is the Steading of Jarl Kurzon and His Family.
Located in a fold tucked between two majestic mountains,
the only approach is by sea. As Y/you sail slowly up the Fjord
the glint of Steel flashes from the cliffs overhead…
Y/you realize that Y/your arrival has been noted
and Y/your reception will depend on Y/your reasons for coming here.
As Y/you sail in from the sea of Thassa,
Y/you see the sleek Serpent Ships of the Jarl and His Men.
Landing upon the rocky shoreline, Y/you approach a low building within a palisade.
This is the Great Hall of the Jarl Kurzon.
Smoke is curling from the ever-burning fires of the hearth.
This is a great hall, made from the precious wood that is prized
by those of Torvaldsland, which means the “Gift of Thor”.
Y/you knock upon the massive double doors and are greeted.
We invite all Goreans to visit with Us and share a bowl of mead or ale.
The bond-maids here work hard but they play hard as well.
We ask that before visiting Us, especially for those new to Gor,
that Y/you visit this webpage for this room.
Y/you will find many useful things to help keep Y/you alive.
We also have a Message Board to post items of interest to this room.
At the far end of the Great Hall sits The Jarl…
To His Right is a figure recognizable by most People on Gor,
the Lady Nyx, Banker of Gor…She is The Jarl’s Woman
Looming behind the Jarl, a huge axe held loosely, is His Overseer,......…
Nothing escapes His eyes as He watches You…
Along the sides of the hall are many trophies and items collected from all over Gor,
Beside the Jarl's Woman Y/you see the Haruspex, Cassandra,
Once of the Plains, and now a trusted Advisor.
All Torvaldslander's FW are respected
for They are an integral part of Our society.
For here, away from the PKs and under Odin’s Law,
the rules are somewhat different...
but this is still GOR.
Moving quickly across the hall can be seen the tantalizing forms
of the many beautiful and willing bond-maids.
You are waved forward to the seat of Honour across from the Jarl
