The Age of Conan
Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the
gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an
Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue
mantles beneath the stars...
This, then, is the Age of Hyboria, an age of shining citadels and towers,
surrounded by dark, barbaric wildernesses and degenerate sorcery.
Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a
thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to
tread the jeweled thrones of the earth under his sandaled feet.
Barbaric, desperate, bloody, a time when sword and sinew are pitted against
magic and devilry, from the frozen wastes of the far north to the deserts of
Stygia, a time when kingdoms are won and lost on the edge of a blade—this, then,
is the Age of Conan.
