Know oh Prince that between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of recorded history, there was an Age undreamed of… When shining Kingdoms lay spread across the world- like blue mantles beneath the stars…
From the north came a CIMMERIAN - 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.
~The Nemedian Chronicles

Having survived the Sirens of Set in the dark waters of Stigia, CONAN, TITO and the crew of the ARGUS head still farther south into the waters of KUSH… And finally come into bloody conflict with the Queen of the Black Coast and her savage crew of corsairs.

In that dead citadel of crumbling stone.
Her eyes were snared by that unholy sheen,
And curious madness took me by the throat,
As of a rival lover thrust between.
The Song of Belit by: R.E. HOWARD
Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is an illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and I am content. — CONAN

Episode #1:
Into the seaport town Messantia, of the southern Hyborian kingdom of ARGUS, the road of Kings led the twenty four year old Cimmerian barbarian- CONAN. Having gotten crossways with the local justice system over a friend of his and the death of a guardsman, Conan took the law into his own hands with his mighty broadsword. The guardsmen were not pleased by his northern Cimmerian ideas of justice, so CONAN “borrowed” a horse from the courts and fled looking for a ship.
The mercenary ship- The ARGUS, just so happened to be putting out to sea as CONAN thundered down the pier having just stormed through the market- guardsmen hot on his trail.
Will the ship’s captain, TITO, allow the Cimmerian passage, or will the guardsmen fill his back full or arrows first? And what of the legendary She-Devil Pirate Queen of the Black Coast?

That autumn paints the leaves with somber fire;
Believe I held my heart inviolate
To lavish on one man my hot desire.

The Hyborian Age Episode 1
By DaSOB | May 22, 2008
The countdown has begun!
To whet the cimmerian appetites awaiting our Full Cast Audio Drama Production of the Robert E. Howard classic CONAN tale “Queen of the Black Coast”, we are releasing REH’s own history of that barbaric age of steel and sorcery! The Hyborian Age in Audio Book format, depicting the cataclysmic time that passed before CONAN wielded his mighty sword and trod under his sandaled feet!
(Nothing in this article is to be considered as an attempt to advance any theory in opposition to accepted history. It is simply a fictional background for a series of fiction-stories. When I began writing the Conan stories a few years ago, I prepared this ‘history’ of his age and the peoples of that age, in order to lend him and his sagas a greater aspect of realness. And I found that by adhering to the ‘facts’ and spirit of that history, in writing the stories, it was easier to visualize (and therefore to present) him as a real flesh-and-blood character rather than a ready-made product. In writing about him and his adventures in the various kingdoms of his Age, I have never violated the ‘facts’ or spirit of the ‘history’ here set down, but have followed the lines of that history as closely as the writer of actual historical-fiction follows the lines of actual history. I have used this ‘history’ as a guide in all the stories in this series that I have written.)
