| “Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank
Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and in 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 - Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its
dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with
its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem,
Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore
steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom was Aquilonia,
reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan, the
Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a
slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the
jewelled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet" -- The Nemedian Chronicles |
