Tarim, the avatar of Erlik, is the living embodiment of the Hyrkanian god of death in Hyborian legend. As Erlik’s chosen vessel, Tarim speaks divine will through prophecy and command. His presence shapes religion across Turan and the steppe tribes, inspiring devotion and fear. Tarim’s authority blends mysticism and political power, making him a central figure in cultures tied to Erlik’s worship. His role reinforces Erlik’s influence as a harsh but revered deity in the world of Conan.
My Rating “The Blood of the Unicorn” Andar of Bezfarda was a young boy when he first caught a glimpse of one. The sleek white body of a horse. The tail of a lion. And the horn. What a magnificent creature, the unicorn. Andar wanted so much to touch the snow-white mane. But the unicorn […]
My Rating “Beware The Sacred Sons Of Set!” A mysterious sorcerer named Karanthes has offered Red Sonja a king’s ransom in gemstones.

My Rating “The Devil In Iron” The morning fog had helped camouflage Conan as he beached his small fishing boat on the shore of Xapur Island. In a time of war, any prying eyes looking to sabotage his rescue mission would be fatal; for somewhere up above, nestled in the cliff peak lay the ruined
My Rating “Eyes Of The Gorgon” The noose tightened around Sonja’s neck as the Zingaran villagers cheered on from the market square. Why did they continue to call her monster? Why the term Gorgon?

My Rating “Red Sonja” The Hyrkanian City-State of Razadan was notorious for the thieves’ guild who influenced everything from commerce to politics within the crumbling walls of the dominion.

My Rating “Thrice Marked For Death! – Part 03 Haunted” The artifact was successfully taken from the temple of Bel, in the night, the thieves did wrestle through the mounting corpses.

My Rating “Thrice Marked For Death! – Part 01 The Heist” Following the defeat of the lost tribe conjured by Thulsa Doom’s cult, and the fall of the Obsidian Fortress, Conan roamed the east looking for a new purpose. In the port city of Argo fate would turn against him as the local magistrate
My Rating “Curse Of The Undead-Man” The cut-purse thugs had swarmed Conan in a darkened alleyway by chance, but what the Cimmerian had found on the cobblestone moments ago was worth killing for. The Maul district of Zamora had never been safe to traverse at any hour of the day, but at night, only seasoned
