Quote from: S'mon;1092804I was actually referencing his essay on the Hyborean Age and how it ends, with the Pictish conquest of Hyborea following failed Mithraic conversion efforts.

Oops! Sorry! I'll have to reread that!

The Kull stories heavily reference the Picts conquest, followed by the barbarians becoming the new civilization which of course devolves into decadence and is conquered by the savage Kull, only to discover who really wields the power behind the throne. REH's thoughts on civilization vs. barbarism are discussed very openly in the Kull tales whereas more alluded to in the Conan stories through the characters actions and attitudes.

While the Conan tales are (in general) superior, I highly recommend the Kull stories to anyone who enjoys REH.

Or the Bran Mak Morn tales too.

Not to mention the Solomon Kane ones.

Yeah but it also means "how dare people complain about anything that the CCP does, they're obviously all evil hypocrites."

Solomon Kane is the best of an excellent bunch.
