Conan: The Hyborian Age

   Based on the stories of Robert E. Howard's "Conan the Barbarian" series, this is part of earth's ancient
earth after the sinking of Atlantis and before a continental drift of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is also important to not that the Marvel Universe of Earth-616 share this as it past, and has designated Earth-8313 as its own reality for the Age of Conan.
   Humans are the only species on planet, with a few aberrations dying off here and there. The largest human empires are Stygia (Egyptian) and Khitai (China), and before them Acheron, Atlantis, and Lemuria kingdoms held that those titles. Yet Atlantis sunk, slave revolts destroyed Lemuria, and Acheron fell into debauchery. Many other civilizations are just begin to organize and recovery from those disasters. Sorcery and magic are uncommon, and their are tales of hidden wealth to be found. The world is harsh, but strong and powerful leaders can rise up and become king of nations.
