Conan the Mercenary
 |
Welcome to the Battlefield
I'm a mercenary. I sell my sword to the highest bidder. I never planted wheat and I never will¸ so long as there are other harvest to be reaped with the sword."
The Hyborian Age is a time of incessant war. The armies of kings and queens cannot master the battlefield alone¸ and the task is left to those sell-swords who trade blood for coin. In Conan the Mercenary¸ the battle fi elds are yours to kill for¸ and to die on.
Join legendary mercenary companies¸ support revolts¸ or fight for the throne. It matters not the motive for war - gold is the wage for your blade. The jeweled thrones of the Earth tremble when mercenaries mass against them¸ and citizens pray to their gods when those selfsame killers are out of work and turn to banditry. In this age¸ the records of war and battle are mankind's only testament¸ and names are written on the annals of history in blood.
