	Hyborian Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hyborian Age is a phrase used by author Robert E. Howard to refer to a specific epoch in a fictional timeline used for many of the low fantasy tales of his artificial legendry; in particular, the stories of Conan the Cimmerian and Kull of Atlantis.
		In Howard's artificial legendry, the Hyborian Age is chronologically situated between several eras: The Pre-Cataclysmic Age (circa 20,000 BC) of Kull and the onslaught of the Picts (circa 9,500 BC).
		The Hyborian Age was devised by author Robert E. Howard as the post-Atlantean setting of his Conan the Barbarian stories, designed to fit in with the previous and less known tales of Kull.

	The Hyborian Age
		It is an adaptation by Roy Thomas and Walt Simonson of Robert E. Howard's immortal essay commencing with the age of Kull.
		Of that epoch known by the Nemedian Chronicles as the Pre-Cataclysmic Age, little is known except the latter part, and that is veiled in the mists of legend.
		The barbarians of the age were the Picts, who lived on islands far out on the Western Ocean, the Atlanteans, who dwelt on a small continent between the Pictish islands and the Thurian continent, and the Lemurians, who inhabited a chain of large islands in the Eastern Hemisphere.

		Hyborian Age, between the time of the sinking of Atlantis and the rise of the known ancient civilizations.
		Howard devised the Hyborian Age to fit in with his previous and less-well-known tales of Kull, which were set at the time of Atlantis.
		Howard's Hyborian age, described in detail in his essay "The Hyborian Age", is a mythical time before any civilization known to anthropologists.

	The Hyborian Age, Part 1 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The barbarians of that age were the Picts, who lived on islands far out on the western ocean; the Atlanteans, who dwelt on a small continent between the Pictish Islands and the main, or Ilurian Continent; and the Lemurians, who inhabited a chain of large islands in the eastern hemisphere.
		To the south the Hyborians have founded the kingdom of Koth, on the borders of those pastoral countries known as the Lands of Shem, and the savages of those lands, partly through contact with the Hyborians, partly through contact with the Stygians who have ravaged them for centuries, are emerging from barbarism.
		The Hyborians have become a considerably mixed race; the nearest to the ancient root-stock are the Gundermen of Gunderland, a northern province of Aquilonia.

		The Hyborians, meanwhile, have founded the kingdom of Koth, on the borders of the pastoral lands of Shem.
		The savages of the lands of Shem, through contact with the Hyborians and the ever ravaging Stygians, are slowly emerging from barbarism.
		The dominant Hyborians are no longer uniformly twany-haired and grey-eyed; they have mixed with other races, but this mixing has not weakened them.

	Hyborian Tales Introduction
		Hyborian Tales is a Live Roleplaying game based on the works of Robert E. Howard, particularly his stories set during the Hyborian Age and featuring his most famous creation, Conan the Cimmerian.
		The Hyborian Age is a rich and detailed setting, yet one which is flexible enough to have a huge variety of sword and sorcery tales set within it.
		At present, the plan is to run three six-hour adventures and one tavern evening over the course of each weekend event, so that each player will play one adventure and crew the other two, as well as playing his or her main character during the tavern evening.

	Hyborian Era Gods
		The Hyborian Era is, of course, the epoch of history from about 16,000 BC to 8,000 BC, a time in-between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, which emerged after the sinking of Atlantis but was itself subsequently destroyed by another great catastrophe.
		The Hyborian Age became a part of the history of the Marvel Universe after it acquired the license to Howard's characters, and several stories in the 1970's made it clear that Conan had existed in the past of Earth-616.
		As a result of the Hyborian Era running from around 16,000 BC to 8,000 BC, before the Bronze Age, any gods worshipped in the Hyborian Era were thus worshipped in the Marvel Universe at a point before their cults began in actual history.

		November 22, 2005 - Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures is Funcom's project based on the world and the famed character created by celebrated fantasy, action and adventure writer Robert E. Howard several decades ago.

		Hyborian age is a better choice, though my persoanl choice would be none of the above.
		I get this feeling that Hyborean Age would be a lot more "friendly" (in terms of having a place for them) to a traditional RPG band of adventurers out for fame and wealth...
		Hyborian age was made for adventure, and like you said the canon revolves around one guy for just several decades (the campaign I'll be playing in this evening takes place 200 years beforehand, with no noticable difference).

		With a strong emphasis on several different combat types, Age of Conan looked mighty impressive at this year's E3, so I decided to catch up with Gaute Godager, Game Director for AoC to learn a bit more about Conan's upcoming PC adventure.
		Gaute Godager: The storyline in Age of Conan (or Conan for short) is set in the time after the novel "Hour of the Dragon" by Conan author Robert E. Howard.
		As you progress through the game, you will gradually regain the memory of who you were, and what you were — your skills, abilities and knowledge will be regained through the act of gaining levels and solving quests (the so called "Destiny Quests").

	Setting
		The conditions of the Hyborian Age as described by author Robert E. Howard in his Conan novels have been re- created in exacting detail to provide the stage setting from which play begins.
		The role of the player in the game is that of an "immortal power behind the scenes." The player is a personality which alternately inhabits various members of a ruling dynasty--those who wield the true power of Hyboria over the passage of centuries.
		Thou, however, art ageless and eternal, a spirit of war, determined to mix thy passions with those of the age until the cup of glory hath been drunk to the lees.

		Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of.
		Three of the most powerful (and the ones that will be featured in the game) are Cimmeria, the descendents of refugees from sunken Atlantis and the place where Conan was born, Stygia, a desert country where an ancient evil lurks, and Aquilonia, Conan's adopted nation where he eventually becomes king.
		The Hyborian Age is one where magic and ancient monsters like dragons, dinosaurs, and mammoths are still strong, though they've begun dying off.

		Insofar as racism in the Hyborian Age goes, I'd say the dividing line is more between the Hyborians themselves, and those on the outskirts of Hyboria.
		It's interesting that the greatest adventurer of the Hyborian Age was not a Hyborian himself.
		But was it "artificial?" The incredible wealth of detail about Hyborian nations, kingdoms, cultures and customs in the Conan stories written exclusively by REH is in a class by itself.

		The total obliteration of Hyborian religious works has long been a frustration to researchers and greatly hampers any true understanding of how Hyborians viewed themselves in relation to their cosmos and their gods.
		Perhaps the most intriguing elements in the lost literature of the Hyborian Age, however, are the fabulous writings of the wizard-scholars of that time.

	Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures Preview from GameZone.com
		With the launch drawing ever nearer, more was revealed at E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) in Los Angeles and it does not take a hardcore gamer to say that this is not only a highly anticipated title, but one that may just alter the way MMO combat is viewed.
		Well, let’s just say that the created character used in the demonstration was surrounded by enemies (intentionally) and then pulled off a swirling attack that resulted in a few of the enemies losing their heads – literally.
		Where Hyborian Adventures deviates from the norm in the MMO genre is that the game starts in a single-player mode.
