Tales of the Black Kingdoms (1e)
 |
Giant black men squat in the doorways of their thatched huts¸ or loll on the ground in their shade. Their women move up and down the streets¸ water-gourds or baskets of food on their heads. Children play or fight in the dust¸ while In the squares the black folk chaffer and bargain over plantains¸ beer and hammered brass ornaments. Smiths crouch over tiny charcoal fires¸ laboriously beating out spear blades. The hot sun beats down on all¸ the sweat¸ mirth and anger of the black people.
"Of the many adventures faced by Conan¸ his exploits in the many lands of the Black Kingdoms are by far some of the most tantalising and tempestuous of the various tales. Now¸ this trilogy of adventures gives other Hyborian adventurers a chance to experience the dangers and wonders of the Black Kingdoms.
