![]() ![]() The curious gods and myths of the Thurian Age, including rules for magic and even time travel.This period, thousands of years prior to Conan’s own, is a time of mystery and magic a period defined by antiquity and decline, yet shaken to its core by its savage new king, Kull. Just as Conan and his exploits defined the Hyborian Age, his predecessor Kull shaped the destiny of the Thurian Age. It is a time when the Atlantean barbarian Kull rose to become King of Valusia, greatest of the Seven Empires. Of that epoch known by the Nemedian Chroniclers as the Pre-Cataclysmic Age, little is known except the latter part, and that is veiled in the mists of legendry. This alternate setting for Conan roleplaying is the ultimate reference to the Pre-Cataclysmic Age. Before Conan, there was Kull! Kull of Atlantis! Here, for the first time in roleplaying gaming, Kull and his world are described in all their savage, dreamlike glory in this 120 page sourcebook. ![]()
