Synopsis
Conan rides hard into Aghrapur, driving his horse to death, in order
to bring a message to King Yildiz. He collapses at the king’s feet, and,
impressed with his sense of duty, decides to make Conan part of his
personal guard. Conan awakens in luxury in the palace, and takes the
time to reunite with Amytis, woman of Turanian commander Narim-Bey.
Others in the palace make fun of Conan’s barbarism, and, after he sets
them straight, spends weeks learning training in horsemanship and with
bows, spears, and axes. Meanwhile, the King’s son Yezdigerd, currently
ravaging the east, has sent a huge, headless stone statue to his father
as tribute from one of the cities he has razed. Yildiz is appreciative
of the gift, though Conan is suspicious of how the supposedly sacred
statue was conveniently found. One night, Conan is almost discovered in
Amytis’s chambers while Narim-Bey is away, and Conan begins to worry
about Bey discovering their affair. Soon, a priest arrives carrying the
head of the statue, to Yildiz’s delight. That delight soon turns to
horror as the statue comes alive and begins to slaughter everyone within
sight. Conan notices that the priest seems to be controlling the
now-active stone golem and, just before it crushes the king, Conan kills
the priest with a well-thrown axe. The king, shaken, realizes that he
has been set up by his son, and Nerim-Bey (possibly acting upon his
suspicions) takes the opportunity of the king’s newfound decision to
become a recluse in his castle to send Conan on a mission to the north.
Shiiba (Earth-616)
Shiiba
Shiiba was one of Lady Amytis’ slave girls, who was inadvertently injured by Conan, as he suddenly woke up in the rest quarters and instinctively feared for his life, feeling the touch of hands in his person.
Swartho (Earth-616)
Swartho
Swartho was one of King Yildiz’s personal guards, who was knocked down by Conan when he mocked his scarce archery skill.
Torhan (Earth-616)
Torhan
Torhan was a palace guard who assisted King Yildiz in mounting the
head collected from the city of Dimmorz atop the headless statue
recovered by the sack of Razadan.
Velurr (Earth-616)
Velurr of Nahareh
Velurr of Nahareh was a 20 years-old man who dedicated his life to
the palace guard and hoped to receive a pension when he retired in a few
short months, who was killed by the Hyrkanian golem as he tried to save
King Yildiz’s life.
Feyd-Ratha (Earth-616)
Feyd-Ratha
Feyd-Ratha was part of King Yildiz’s court, who suspected a romantic affair between Conan and Lady Amytis[3].
During a party held in Conan’s honor for rescuing the Princess Yolinda,
Feyd-Ratha let him know that he was aware of the barbarian’s dalliances
with Commander Narim-Bey’s woman Amytis, but Conan was in no mood to be
blackmailed.

Arriving in the city of Zangabal , Thongor is incurring in the wrath of the city guard

scaled a wall where he ran afoul of two members of the Zangabal Thieves Guild,
who bore a grudge against him for not joining their ranks. Kicked down from the
top of the wall, Thongor was almost overtaken by the guards once more until he
fled into a section of the city where the guardsmen feared to follow.
Shortly thereafter, Thongor encountered Kaman Thuu, a
priest of the Seven Gods of Zangabal, who enlisted the young barbarian’s services
in order to steal the Mirror of Zaffar from the magician Athmar Phong. Provided
with an amulet known as the Shield of Cathloda, created a thousand years ago in
Zaar the Black City, to protect him from Phong’s magic, Thongor was sent on his
way down a subterranean passage that would lead him beneath the wizard’s house.
