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.)
