Synopsis

Eons in the past, the sorcerer Rotath falls at the hands of the
warrior King Kull. Dying, he places a curse upon his own bloodline and
invokes the name of an unspeakable deity. Centuries later, one of
Rotath’s own descendents discovers Rotath’s solid gold skeleton. Upon
making contact with it, the man’s body is taken over by the spirit of
Rotath

Months later, Conan and his Turanian confederate Captain Kiribor
are escorting the captured princess Yolinda through the northern hills
of Aghrapur. Aghrapuran raiders attack the party, but Conan finds aid
from a Kushite named Juma. The raiders defeat them and bring them back
to the Valley of the Sun. Princess Yolinda is handed over to Rotath –
who has since been reborn in a body of solid gold. Conan and Juma are
enslaved and sent to mine for gold in the valley’s deep caverns. After
mining for gold for several days, Conan and Juma decide to escape. A
gigantic slug monster raids the cavern and begins attacking the guards.
Conan and Juma grab two bags of gold and run down the mine shaft. They
reach the surface, but the slug continues to chase them. Conan begins to
realize that it is the gold that the creature requires and throws his
weighted sacks. Rotath appears in the central square, and the slug is
distracted by the sorcerer’s golden flesh. While the slug eats Rotath,
Conan rescues Princess Yolinda and rides off with Juma.

Notes

• Juma the Black is the creation of L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter (used by permission).
• Rotath was originally destroyed by the Altantean warrior King Kull (3-part story published in Savage Sword of Conan # 231-232-233, in Italy first two issues are in CONAN serie Chiaroscuro Marvel Italia # 3 and 4, the third is unpublished) .

Rotath (Earth-616)

Rotath of Lemuria was a wizard and priest of nameless gods killed by Kull upon King Asphodel IV’s order. While dying, he managed to cast a spell to be reborn in a body of solid gold during the Hyborian Age,
when a lone Turanian hillman discovered his bones. He then civilized
the hillmen tribes and led them to the Valley of the Sun, taking seat in
a jutting silvery citadel, standing amid a city old as time. Wishing to
claim the throne of Turan, he then ordered to kidnap Princess Yolinda and enslave Conan and Juma the Black to mine for gold in the valley’s deep caverns. He was eventually killed by a giant slug which was attracted his golden body. 

Anaxor (Earth-616)

Anaxor was probably the misborn offspring of man and baboon, who was kept by Rotath as a pet. Challenging Conan, he was swiftly strangled to death by the Cimmerian in chains.

Sneaking into Athmar Phong’s opulent mansion, Thongor searched for the mirror,

after he had accquired the mirror of black glass. Taking time to steal a quick

kiss before continuing his search, Thongor did not notice the slave girl

break the cord on which the Shield of Cathloda hung about his neck. Stripped

of the amulet’s protection, the girl’s form shimmered before Thongor and

transformed into that of a malformed demon.
