Hopefully you have entered of your own free will and not as a slave, either to a person or to a vice. Regardless, I am sure you have no idea what debauchery and villainy are really about. Zamorians as a whole are seducers and harlots, rapists and torturers, assassins and kidnappers, zealots and thieves. Zamorians from Shadizar are even worse. Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan the Cimmerian, mentioned Shadizar the Wicked in several stories, but he did not write one with Shadizar as the actual setting. Possibly the city was too lurid in his mind to permit such a story in the 1930âs. More likely his interest was simply elsewhere. However, the tantalizing hints have fascinated Conan fans for decades. Other authors, having picked up the Conan tales since the 1970âs, have explored the city to varying degrees. Roy Thomas and other comic authors have placed stories within the alabaster towers of Shadizar. Devil Wings Over Shadizar, written by Roy Thomas in the sixth issue of Marvelâs Conan the Barbarian, remains one of the favorite Conan stories. Robert Jordan wrote three novels set in Shadizar, Conan the Invincible, Conan the Destroyer and Conan the Magnificent. This book draws on these source materials to present Shadizar the Wicked in lurid detail. The first book in this Conan Adventure Set discusses the City of Wickedness in detail, discoursing on such varied topics as religion (these days a nearly forbidden topic in other cultures), clothing (if worn), occupations, lurid entertainments and diversions, trade, social standing, slavery, prostitution, drinking dens, taxes, illicit ventures throughout the city. This book also covers the power structures holding Shadizar in place and, of course, descriptions of various localities within the walls of many-spired Shadizar. The latter sections of this book are aimed at the Games Master and discuss various types of campaigns that can be run in Shadizar and is filled with adventure hooks and ideas. The second book in this box details new rules and game information, including new types of Reputation, an updated and expanded gazetteer written in the style of Conan: The Road of Kings, a Zamorian name table and a short bestiary containing monsters from a number of sources featuring Shadizar and Zamora. This book also covers such optional materials as feats, prestige classes and prominent characters to be found in Shadizar, throughout the Hyborian Age. The third book to be found herein details a complete adventure, taking characters deep into the shady heart of Shadizar: City of Wickedness.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Mongoose Publishing Conan (d20) Faith and Fervour (VG+/NM) Manufacturer: Mongoose Publishing Product Line: Conan (d20) Type: Hardcover Code: MGP7723 Copyright Date: 2006 Author: Vincent Darlage Page Count: 96 Please review the condition and any condition notes for the exact condition of this item.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: Religion in the Conan stories are generally dark, brutal affairs, full of secrets and monstrous priests. Most of the stories give religion a rather unholy, unclean air. A primitive time with primitive religions is the world Conan the Cimmerian strives to conquer and tread. This volume in the Conan the Roleplaying Game series is designed to enhance the role-playing aspect of scholars, cultists and religious leaders in the Hyborian age. In the Conan stories, it is left unclear as to whether the gods exist or not. The descriptions for the Hyborian age gods, which may or may not be real entities, do not include 'statistics', such as might be found in many d20 and OGL sourcebooks. Even if the Hyborian age gods are considered to be real by a Games Master, they would be powers on a scale that no mortal could hope to defeat them, even the mighty Conan, thus the need for monster-like statistics for these gods is still unnecessary. Conan does not come into armed conflict with Set but only with Set's priests. Keep in mind that just because a certain demon claims to serve a deity, that demon could be lying or may have the same misconceptions about the gods as some mortals have. Since this volume does not contain useless statistics for the gods, the question becomes, what does a priest of a god worship and why does he worship it? This volume is designed to answer those questions, not to become some sort of 'divine bestiary' of fiends and foes for Conan the Roleplaying Game characters to fight and defeat. The religions are divided up largely by culture, detailing even a few heresies and alternate religions at variance with the 'official' religion of an area. New feats, spells and other concepts are also detailed.…
