There is no clear origin for the Home Stone though there are several mythical accounts. The most popular myth involves Hesius, the legendary hero of Ar. It is also the only account given in the novels. Thus, by tradition, the Home Stone of Ar is considered to be the oldest Home Stone on Gor.   "One popular account has it that an ancient hero, Hesius, once performed great labors for Priest-Kings, and was promised a reward greater than gold and silver. He was given, however, only a flat piece of rock with a single character inscribed upon it, the first letter in the name of his native village. He reproached the Priest-Kings with their niggardliness, and what he regarded as their breach of faith. He was told, however, that what they gave him was indeed worth far more than gold and silver, that it was a 'Home Stone.' He returned to his native village, which was torn with war and strife. He told the story there, and put the stone in the market place.   'If the Priest-Kings say this is worth more than gold and silver,' said a wise man, 'it must be true.'   'Yes,' said the people. 'Whose Home Stone is it?' asked the people, 'yours or ours?'   "Ours,' responded Hesius.   Weapons were then laid aside, and peace pledged. The name of the village was 'Ar.' (Dancer of Gor, p.302)
