Conan the Scout

Conan the Scout - ENNow among the settlers beyond thunder river there was growing up a breed of forest-men capable of meeting the barbarians at their own game, but their numbers were still scanty.Hungry for expansion, the kingdoms of the dreaming west expand into lands held for millennia by the Picts, an ancient race predating even the Hyborian Age. The Pictish Wilderness is vast and untamable, hiding mysteries and horror. In this wild theatre, the eternal struggle between civilization and savagery intensifies, and the people of this land hold the line against invasion. To the east, the Border Kingdom stands as civilization’s defence between the fearsome Hyperboreans and the unready kingdoms to the south.Conan the Scout is the guide to life on the border, filled with information about the rugged world of the settlers, pioneers, hunters, and scouts, and their implacable enemies: the Picts.
