Conan the Barbarian
 |
Conan the Barbarian features the countries of the north: Asgard¸ Vanaheim¸ Hyperborea¸ and Conan's own homeland of Cimmeria. These rough lands stand in stark contrast to their more civilized neighbors in the south¸ and the folk of these countries possess a savage vitality that has long been lost elsewhere.
"These lands and people survived the great Cataclysm¸ yet barbarism is still the dominant way of life. Many people in the Hyborian kingdoms think these northern lands near mythical¸ but contained in these pages is a hoard of legend¸ lore¸ and facts for the gamemaster and players alike¸ to explore and adventure within these harsh and unforgiving kingdoms.
"So sharpen your axe-blade and keep your shield held high¸ for it is a time of barbaric glory!
BARBARISM IS THE NATURAL STATE OF MANKIND¸" THE BORDERER SAID¸ STILL STARING SOMBERLY AT THE CIMMERIAN.
"CIVILIZATION IS UNNATURAL. IT IS A WHIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE. AND BARBARISM MUST ALWAYS ULTIMATELY TRIUMPH."
