Howard and the other It is our world, yet it is not a world any of us Conan writers, artists and film makers have woven would recognise. It is a world that is dimmer than a fascinating tapestry of wealth, poverty, pitch the memory of a fleeting dream, yet is bright as black evil and epic struggles for life in a world the glowing dimness of a dying ember lying amid determined to kill even the hardiest. Herein is the coals of a lost fire. It is a world of the distant written the descriptions of this harsh world: proud past, from a time before our recorded history, a lands of tarnished civility burning with civil wars; time that is forgotten by us… almost. Much as barbaric wildernesses of savage killers hunting the ghost of Conan may have stood behind Bob with primitive weapons; dreaming kingdoms of Howard of Texas and told his tales for us to enjoy, dark priests worshipping with bloodied daggers; the ghosts of that far-flung age may come to us noble demesnes of arrogant knights fighting with to tell their tales, so we may live them again and grim determination; ancient realms of haunted thrill to their adventures. towers lurking with baleful menace; towering crags of icy rock slumbering with hidden peoples; Open up the book of Von Junzt, which lies grim and great seas of crimson waves brimming with and foreboding in front of you, and read about cruel pirates. an age undreamed of by modern science. Open the tome called Nameless Cults, where is written As the Road of Kings takes a traveller through a translation of the Nemedian Chronicles, and the glittering and decadent realms of the lost read of black eons known to us as the Hyborian Hyborian Age, so too does this tome work toward Age… the same end. These fabled lands of ancient times are the shimmering background of Conan the Roleplaying Game, the gleaming backdrop against which your action is set. These cultures, the grand forbearers of more modern times, are magnificent and degraded all at the same time. Each culture has its dark, rotten core and its flashy exterior, its gilt mask of civility. 3 AQUILONIA The Proudest Kingdom of Aquilonia the World Aquilonia is broken up into provinces, many of which are further ‘The proudest kingdom of subdivided into smaller fiefs or civil territories. Many of these the world was Aquilonia, boundaries are poorly defined or in dispute, with the lands near reigning supreme in the the country’s borders further confused. This is extremely evident in dreaming west.’ the west, where the Westermarck, which considers itself to be part of Aquilonia, is separated by Gunderland, which does not despite The Nemedian Chronicles an agreement to the contrary. The divisions tend to undermine the sovereignty of the king and lead to inefficient government by the AQUILONIA IS THE most advanced and powerful of the counts, barons and those subordinate to the upper nobility. Hyborian kingdoms, with a proud, relatively wealthy populace. Its politics are rife with intrigue, murder and horror, with countless The counts and barons of Aquilonia hold noble titles and fiefs from plots and intrigues amidst the barons and counts who maintain the king granting them official power. The granting of these fiefs is ancient feuds from generation to generation. With frontiers that are done by a patent, or contract, wherein the noble swears fealty to the often tested by Picts, Cimmerians, Nemedians and Ophireans there king and the king grants the noble all rights pertaining to the land is opportunity within its borders for warrior and courtier alike. proffered as fief, including an accompanying title of nobility. These noble titles are inherited through the male line, although the king Nearly twenty five million people live in the various counties, may remove a title at his pleasure. The eldest son or the husband of baronies, villages, towns and cities of Aquilonia. Two of the great an eldest daughter almost always inherits the noble title. The actual Hyborian metropolises can be found in Aquilonia: Tarantia and property of the fief, however, can be divided among the lord’s heirs Shamar. King Conan’s census following his great victory in the as may see fit. If a dispute over inheritance occurs, especially in a Year of the Dragon revealed fifty other large towns and cities, nearly case where a nobleman produced no heir, the king may intercede three hundred smaller towns and over thirty thousand villages, with and name an heir. almost a half million residents living in innumerable hamlets, thorps or individual farms and homesteads. Unfortunately, the political and military structure of Aquilonia tends to maintain only the illusion of unity beneath the king. The Aquilonia represents the pinnacle of Hyborian age society – a realm counts and barons frequently can and do ignore the edicts and of enlightenment and prosperity. Even so, its forms of government commands of the king. Although the king rules all of Aquilonia in and its treatment of the various economic classes of people fall back theory, the true practice of power shows that the king rules Tarantia on ancient Hyborian traditions instead of a more efficient form and its surrounding manors only.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #24 [AE17]
    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2017 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART TWO By Lee A. Breakiron As we saw last time, the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa) was the first amateur press association (apa) dedicated to that author. Its founder, Tim C. Marion, started it in 1972 when he was 13 and edited it through the first 19 of its bimonthly Mailings, but left afterward since he was ultimately more interested in fan activities than Howard as a literary figure. Before that, discontent with his leadership and with the real dearth of worthwhile essays and critiques during the early years led to future literary critic Don Herron and others to leave and create The Hyperborian League (THL) apa in October, 1975. Its official editor (OE) was Herron and it was “devoted to the creative discussion of authors Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard and their works,” though material on other fantasy writers and poets was welcomed. Herron said he spelled the name of the apa “Hyperborian” rather than “Hyperborean” because he wanted to emphasize the fact that it was devoted to both CAS (whence Hyperborean) and REH (whence Hyborian). It would still be occasionally misspelled, even on covers. Its official organ document was titled “Skull & Sandalwood,” suggested by REH’s “Skull-Face” and CAS’s Sandalwood. The fanzines composing the quarterly Mailings were at first stapled by the contributors and left so by the OE, who collected them and mailed them out to the current individual members. He also distributed some copies to libraries, sent “speculative” (“spec”) copies to recruit prospective members, and sold remaining ones to defray postage costs.

  • The Hyborian Review Volume 3, Number 8
    The Hyborian Review Volume 3, Number 8. August 31, 1998 Laboring, I tell ya… Great REH Quotes From The Hour of the Dragon, Howard's full-length Conan tale, written in the spring of 1934, published serially in Weird Tales, December 1935-April 1936. In a small glade below him four soldiers in Nemedian chain-mail were binding a noose about the neck of a gaunt old woman in peasant garb. A heap of fagots, bound with cord on the ground nearby, showed what her occupation had been when surprized by these stragglers. Conan felt slow fury swell his heart as he looked silently down and saw the ruffians dragging her toward a tree whose low- spreading branches were obviously intended to act as a gibbet. He had crossed the frontier an hour ago. He was standing on his own soil, watching the murder of one of his own subjects. The old woman was struggling with surprizing strength and energy, and as he watched, she lifted her head and voiced again the strange, weird, far-carrying call he had heard before. It was echoed as if in mockery by the raven flapping above the trees. The soldiers laughed roughly, and one struck her on the mouth. Conan swung from his weary steed and dropped down the face of the rocks, landing with a clang of mail on the grass… “Dogs!” he said without passion and without mercy. “Do Nemedian jackals set themselves up as executioners and hang my subjects at will? First you must take the head of their king.

  • Conan the Invincible by Robert Jordan Chapter I
    Conan the Invincible By Robert Jordan Chapter I The icy wind whipping through the brown, sheer-walled chasms of the Kezankian Mountains seemed colder still around the bleak stone fortress that grew from the granite flank of a nameless mountain in the heart of the range. Fierce hillmen who feared nothing rode miles out of their way to go around that dark bastion, and made the sign of the horns to ward off evil at its mention. Amanar the Necromancer made his way down a dim corridor that violated the very heartstone of the mountain, followed by those no longer human. He was slender, this thaumaturge, and darkly handsome, his black heard cropped close; but a vaguely serpentlike streak of white meandered through his short hair, and the red flecks that danced in his eyes drew the gaze, and the will, of anyone foolish enough to look deeply. His henchmen looked like ordinary men, at first glance and from a distance, but their faces were vaguely pointed, their eyes glinted red beneath ridged helmets, and their skins bore reptilian scales. The fingers of the elongated hands that held their spears ended not in nails, but in claws. A curved tulwar swung at the hip of every one except for hire who marched close behind Amanar. Sitha, Warden of the S'tarra, Amanar's Saurian henchman, bore a great doubleedged ax. They came to tall doors set in the stone, both doors and stone carved with serpents in endless arabesques. "Sitha," Amanar said, and passed through the doors without pausing. The reptiloid warden followed close behind, closing the massive doors after his master, but Amanar barely noticed.

  • Title: Conquering Information Literacy, Conan the Librarian Public Library
    Title: Conquering Information Literacy, Conan the Librarian Public Library Audience: Public Library Patrons Grades 4th-7th Designers’ Names: Designed by Marie Cirelli, Gweneth Morton, and Andy Wolverton 1. Rationale for instruction: An information literate student can be defined as “one who accesses information efficiently and effectively, critically evaluates the information, and uses it accurately and creatively” (Grassian and Kaplowitz, 2009, p. 4). With the information explosion on the Internet, it is becoming more difficult and more important to be information literate. The public library can play a vital role in the education of its patrons by offering them the opportunity to learn and master the skills needed to be considered information literate. The mission of a public library is to provide information, support lifelong learning, and enrich the lives of its patrons. Based on experience with the patrons of the library and the mission of the library, an information literacy course for students in grades 4th-7th is being developed as a way to further support our patrons and meet the mission of the library. 2. Goal and objectives: Goal: The learner will understand how to search for and evaluate information from a variety of sources. Objective 1: The learner will apply the I-LEARN model. Objective 2: The learner will locate appropriate sources using the Internet and OPAC. Objective 3: The learner will apply the previously found information. Overview 1. Brief summary of unit: The unit is a three-day program in which students learn how to search for and evaluate information from a variety of sources. The program is structured for a younger age group and focuses on hands-on learning and immediate feedback.

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #21 [SS16]
    REHeapa Summer Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron LET THERE BE UPDATES The Howard Collector Glenn Lord published 18 issues of his ground-breaking REH fanzine between 1961 and 1973, which we reviewed before. [1] He put out a 19th number (Vol. 4, #1) in summer, 2011, in the same 5 ½ x 8 ¾ format with light gray textured softcovers and 52 pages for $20.00. The volume contains the original version of “Black Canaan” (first published in 2010 by the Robert E. Howard Foundation), an untitled verse, an untitled Breckinridge Elkins fragment, and a drawing, all by Howard from Lord’s collection. Critic Fred Blosser contributes reviews of Steve Harrison’s Casebook and Tales of Weird Menace, both edited by REHupan Rob Roehm and published in 2011 by the Foundation, as well as El Borak and Other Desert Adventures (2010) and Sword Woman and Other Historical Adventures (2011), both edited by REHupan Rusty Burke and published by Del Rey. Blosser observes that the detective-type stories in the first two books tend to be better the more REH concentrates on action and weirdness rather than sleuthing. Blosser thinks highly of the last two, but wishes that Burke had not corrected Howard’s French spellings. THC #19 won Lord the 2012 Robert E. Howard Foundation (“Aquilonian”) Award for Outstanding Periodical. [2] A projected 20th issue, to include the original version of “Crowd-Horror,” was never published (“Crowd- Horror” would be published in 2013 in The Collected Boxing Fiction of Robert E. Howard: Fists of Iron), since Lord died of a heart attack December 31, 2011 at age 80.
