Cover:

Story: Conan the Cimmerian was living happily as a blacksmith with his wife in the village of Irskuld, Cimmeria - until one fateful day a group of horsemen raided his village. Conan was knocked unconscious, awakening only to find his wife and his friends butchered in the aftermath. Conan discovers that behind the slaughter was a wizard named Thoth-Amon, a high priest of the cult of Set. Sword in hand, vengeance aflame, Conan now travels south in the land of Hyboria to the city of Shadizar. Here his journey of vengeance begins.

Locations:

Conan travels from his destroyed home village in Cimmeria to the city of Shadizar in Zamora. Various quests and tasks have him go to a cript in the north (no location specified but ingame map would hint to somewhere in Brythunia), to the southern city of Zamboula, a city of lizardmen called Larsha (in the story 'The Hall of the Dead' Larsha is an ancient city ruin in Zamora but ingame map would hint to somewhere in either Shem or Koth), a jungle ruin somewhere at the river Styx (probably in Stygia) and finally the capital of Aquilonia - the great city of Tarantia.
