    You forgot to include how Conan wounded the face of Yezdigerd, that was why he hated Conan for years. Anyway, a good start of Hyborian history, i hope we'll see other great campaigns like Argos invading Stygia, Aquilonia invading Pict lands over black river and how Conan conquered Aquilonian throne.
  • Robert E Howard was a much more skilled writer than a lot of people give him credit for, its interesting that the line 'between when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas", could loosely be interpreted as the period of earth's own prehistory between when the sea levels rose following the end of the LGM, and the rise of proto-Indo European speakers on the pontic steppe.
  • @blackop013
    Having read all of Robert E Howard's original Conan short stories, I'm hopeful this series leads others to as well and that us fans have a Conan Renaissance someday.
  • @murmillo42
    Honestly I'm surprised that y'all are actually covering a Conan story and it makes me so happy. Robert Howard is on of the most underrated writers now a days.
  • It's always surprising how much lore and story exist in the Conan universe, always fun. Excited to see more.
  • One of my favorite Robert E Howard quotes is "The more I see of what you call civilization, the more highly I think of what you call savagery."
  • @-VOR
    Fun fact, H.P Lovecraft was the first person to edit and proofread the first 2 conan stories.
  • "Conan! What's best in life?" "To Crush your enemies, see them flee before you and hear the lamentation of the women."
  • By Mitra and Crom... I am a simple man, I see a Conan video, and I upvote.
  • @Fordo007
    As someone who has only seen the two Arnold movies and the Red Sonja movie.. really like this lore and stuff. Very Bronze Age and Middle-Eastern inspired stuff. Also WOW the artwork for Red Sonja here. What a perfect ratio of sexiness and power. Look forward to learning more about all this lore
  • By Crom!!!! I never thought you'd make an episode in the Hyborian age! I cannot wait until you cover the two big battles from The Hour of The Dragon! Thank you for this episode!
  • @gnb_2476
    Bless Crom that the world of Conan is on Wizards and Warriors. Thank you guys. I've been recently reading the original works what great timing.
  • So this is who the "Emperor of Man" was when he was young,so fascinating. Frankliny i dint expect you to start "Sword&Sorcery" genre so soon on this channel,but this is great.
  • I am not at all familiar with the lore of Conan, but this gives me the envy to read it. Please continue covering this fantasy lore and others. I watch each and every one of your videos.
  • This video pleases Mitra. Also, Sonja riding up, killing a buncha dudes and tricking Conan before riding off with her treasure. Absolute Queen 👑
  • Can't wait for the next video. The invasion of Khoraja by Thugra Khotan was always one of my favourites, as was the comics Conan the Barbarian n54.
  • @johnwhiteX
    I am freaking out, I never even considered you guys would do a Conan video but I’m so here for it! So much lore in the Conan world to explore
  • @BoarLord
    The Hyborian Age is such a good world for this series because Howard's stories always read like historical fiction. A lot of good material for documentaries.
