Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to the Hyborian Age
The Hyborian Age
is the
scant few hundred years in which the
kingdoms descended from the old
Hyborian tribes have become civilised
and powerful, dominating the lands
all about them both economically and
militarily. This is a mythical time,
thousands of years before recorded
history, when even the continents had
a different shape from their modern
contours.
Aquilonia, a richly fertile land, dominates
the Hyborian kingdoms themselves. It
includes within its capacious borders
some of the doughtiest soldiers in the
world, including the fierce pikemen
of Gunderland, the stalwart archers of
the Bossonian Marches and the superb
knights of Poitain. These, along with
the strong plate armour manufactured
by Aquilonia’s highly skilled armourers,
have ensured that this nation is virtually
unassailable from without and have
allowed Aquilonia to get the best of
the raiding in its sporadic wars with its
traditional enemy, Nemedia.
Despite this, Aquilonia can sometimes
be a victim of its own success. It is
landlocked and has no direction into
which its surplus population may
expand, without going to full-scale
war with Nemedia. Various attempts
to settle in Cimmeria and the Pictish
Wilderness have been repulsed by the
barbarians of those lands. Aquilonia’s
ordinary farmers and craftsmen look
longingly upon the vast forested estates
claimed by its nobles for their hunting.
A strong leader who offered to cut
down the forests and let the people
settle there might one day gain the
popular support to wrest control from
Aquilonia’s ancient monarchy. Indeed,
this is exactly how Conan eventually
becomes King here.
Aquilonia’s Hyborian neighbours
are its old rival Nemedia, almost as
powerful and perhaps a more ancient
civilisation; Brythunia and Corinthia
with their city-states; Argos, the great
maritime trading nation; and Ophir
and Koth, two kingdoms somewhat
weakened morally by the influence of
the pleasure-oriented culture of the east.
Like Aquilonia, most of these countries
revere Mitra, an enlightened, civilised
god, though Koth and perhaps Ophir
have allowed the Shemite pantheon to
displace Mitra in their reverence.
The lands to the north and west of
Aquilonia are beyond civilisation.
The Pictish Wilderness extends up
much of the continent’s western coast
and only the heavily fortified strip of
land known as the Bossonian Marches
prevents the Picts from surging into
Aquilonia on constant raids. South of
the Wilderness is Zingara, the lifelong
rival of Argos for maritime trade and
influence, a land of expert swordsmen,
