Synopsis
The legions of Munthassem Khan face the newest recruit into the army
of King Yildiz of Turan, Conan. He fights through swaths of men, gaining
the high ground, leaving a trail of corpses behind him. Unfortunately,
the Turanians are attacked by giant bat-monsters, and Conan survives
only by virtue of his seemingly harmless amulet, which frightens the
creature away. Conan is the only survivor of the battle, and he stumbles
away, coming across an unconscious girl. When she awakes, she reveals
that she was in fact looking for him, sent by her master Atalis. Conan
is wary, as Atalis lives in Yaralet, stronghold of the Khan he was just
fighting, but since he seems to be out of a job, he decides to accompany
the girl, Hildico. They enter the house just as Atalis and Prince Thann
are discussing him. Atalis reveals that the Khan had all wizards in the
city slain, but cursed the philosopher Atalis and Thann with bouts of
pain and blindness. Khan had been a magnanimous ruler until he was given
the Hand of Nergal, an object of evil that brought darkness to the
lands. Only the bearer of the counter-talisman, the Heart of Tammuz,
which Conan happens to have around his neck, can end the curse. All this
Atalis has seen in his crystal ball. Conan accompanies Atalis and Thann
into the sewers and into the Khan’s throne room, where the emaciated
ruler lies in wait, grasping the Hand of Negral.. The Khan sends wave of
pain to the philosopher and the Prince, and then at Conan himself, who
is unable to fight through the pain. Suddenly, Hildico runs from behind a
pillar, snaps the amulet from around Conan’s neck, and hurls it at the
mad Khan, hitting him in the face and causing him to drop the Hand.
Conan, Atalis Thann are immediately well again, and watch as the two
artifacts release the essence of ancient colossal beings of light and
darkness, who begin their eternal struggle anew. The being of light from
the Heart of Tammuz wins the battle. After a week of relaxation, Conan
itches to travel back to Turan again, but this time in the company of
Hildico.
Hildico (Earth-616)
Hildico
Brythunian slave girl Hildico was ordered by her master Atalis the Far Seeing to bring Conan back to him. She arrived at the battlefield near the River Nezvaya just as the Devil-Beasts of Nergal
swooped down and fleeing, riderless horse nearly trampled her. She was
then found unconscious by the Cimmerian, who agreed to come with her to
the house of Atalis. When the barbarian confronted the evil satrap
Munthassem Khan in his palace, she managed to summon the power of the
Heart of Tammuz.
Munthassem Khan (Earth-616)
Munthassem Khan
Munthassem Khan was a wise and gentle satrap, who ruled with justice
and mercy, busying himself with his collection of antiquities and
ancient objects, which absorbed his keen, questing mind. One day, a
far-ranging caravan brought him, from the depths of demon-haunted Stygia, the Hand of Nergal,
a powerful talisman who changed him into a cruel and savage tyrant. He
then inaugurated a reign of terror, where he slew all the wizards in
Yaralet and bestowed curses on his enemies, even rebelling to King Yildiz of Turan. When Conan entered his palace and summoned the power of the Heart of Tammuz,
the two artifacts released the essence of ancient colossal beings of
light and darkness, who began their eternal struggle anew. After Tammuz’
victory, nothing was left of the senseless, motionless form of
Munthassem Khan, save for a handful of smouldering ashes.
Bakra of Akif (Earth-616)
Bakra of Akif
Bakra of Akif was Yildiz’ general, who tried to rally the army to stand and fight against the Devil-Beasts of Nergal, but he was quickly killed by one of the batlike monsters.
