Why was the Conan mythos picked as the basis for the game?
Jrgen Tharaldsen: The Conan mythos is incredibly deep and detailed, and contains more than 70 years of novels, comics, movies and pen and paper RPGs. When you look at some of the most influential fantasy works made in the 20th century there is no denying that Conan are among the greatest, and he is known to be the worlds greatest fantasy hero. There is so much more to this universe than just Conan though, and the depth and scope of the world and its history is simply astounding. We have set the timeline shortly after the story Hour of the dragon, one of the finest stories by Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan. In this age Conan has finally ascended the throne as king of Aquilonia, the mightiest nation of Hyboria (the world of Conan, set in BC 10.000). Bur Conans rule is on the brink of chaos, with ancient evils looming over the lands, and this is where the players come in. They can not control Conan, but they can be an important part of the epic story which is about to unfold. Firi
