 BNR Metal Pages -- Kryst The Conqueror   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Kryst The Conqueror EP was released to very little fanfare in 1990, a rather mysterious album that seemingly no one knew much about.
In fact this was the metal band formed in 1987 by Jerry Only and Doyle, brothers and former members of the infamous punk band Misfits.
Though they never played live and in essence were a band in name only, Kryst The Conqueror survived until the mid-nineties, when the two brothers went back to the reformed Misfits.

 Xena: Warrior Princess - Xena the Conqueror Reviews
What is more confusing are her feelings for the Conqueror and the Conqueror's own mystifying behavior toward her - showing gentleness one moment and brutality the next, at times revealing vulnerability only to erase that in an instant with the Destroyer's traditional mask of coldness.
Despite the relative peace the Conqueror's rule has enforced, however, life on the road can be a very dangerous place as the bard comes to learn one fateful day when she draws the attention of several ruffians.
The Conqueror, despite her steely, dangerous demeanor reveals a very human need for friendship and an honest desire to improve the life of those under her rule while Gabrielle's integrity and willingness to risk it all endears her to the reader.

 Shopping with the Conqueror
The Conqueror was just about to faint from her fierce blushing, but still managed to wheeze out "This is all a big mis-" as another great wriggle from Gabrielle caused both women (and quite a few of the other people in the lineup) to fall down on the podium.
In fact, from what the mortally embarrassed Conqueror could tell, judging by the sounds emanating from Gabrielle, the younger woman was happily in the throes of her third orgasm by the time the Conqueror hobbled through the doors of her private chambers.
The Conqueror was frantically thinking of some way to peel the young woman off, now that she was in her own quarters (somehow peeling her off with the sharp end of a sword didn't quite seem appropriate), but to her surprise Gabrielle let go just as the door slammed shut.

 High John the Conqueror Root in Magic Spells
To obtain the maximum results from a whole John the Conqueror root, it is customary to "fix" it, either as a pocket piece or in a mojo.
High John the Conqueror Oil is used to "feed" John the Conqueror roots and to dress mojo bags, and offertory candles that are used in spells of commanding, personal mastery, and courage.
Because the character of the person or mythical figure called John the Conqueror partakes of the tricksterish and way-opening qualities of the orisha and the loa known variously as Elegua, Legba, and Eshu, it is not unreasonable to search for a hypothetical African fore-runner to John the Conquer root in the herbal folklore of Africa.
