Kingdoms of the Hyborian Age:
Amazonia: The female warriors of Gamburu are unmatched in the Southern world. Their fleet footed fighters are rightly feared for their ferocity and for their prowess with the javelin. They seek dominion over the vast interior grasslands and the endless, forgotten jungles beyond.
Amazonia is the progenitor of the Ancient Greek Amazons of legend.
Aquilonia: Symbol of might in the Hyborian Age, Aquilonia wields indisputably the supreme military power of the Western world. More than any other kingdom, however, Aquilonia lies surrounded by grim and unrelenting enemies, including Koth.
Aquilonia is the progenitor of the Anglo-Saxons and Roman Empire.
Argos: The major sea power of the Hyborian Age, proud Argos sweeps the western sea from Vanaheim to the Black Kingdoms. Wealthy beyond its size, Argos seldom lacks for funds either to war or to weave far reaching webs of intrigue as the situation dictates. Natural enemy of Zingara.
Argos is the progenitors of the Argonauts of Greek mythology.
Asgard: Blonde reavers of the icy north, the mailed warriors of the Aesir are held in check only by their equally ferocious kin the Vanir to the west, the grim Cimmerians southward, and by arcane Hyperborea to the east. Loosely organized, the clans await their forging to a cause, or a great captain of men, to spur them over the ice towards bright and bloody conquest!
Asgard is the progenitor of the Norse.
Brythunia: The land of plains and horse, the Brythunians have become a culture of hunters and farmers, ranging their wide, flat lands ahorse and unfettered. The Brythunian army carries forward this heritage with a large contingent of disciplined cavalry regiments. Still, Bruthunia is split and scattered into small, widely dispersed fiefdoms.
Brythunia is the progenitor of the Poles, Finns and Latvians.
Cimmeria: Grim. Moody. Grey skied. The land of Crom amid hills and mountains. A warrior race, the Cimmerians are descendants of ancient Atlantis and only slowly coming again into the ways of civilization after contact with the Hyborian kingdoms. In battle the Cimmerians are unmatched in the darkly wooded hills of their homeland and few are the invading Aquilonian, Pictish, or Nordheim warriors who return from that grey land. A legacy of hatred runs strong amongst Cimmerians for their long time enemies, the Picts.
Cimmeria is the progenitor of the Celts and the Gaels.
Corinthia: Secure behind high mountain passes lie the city states of Corinthia. Notable for their highly disciplined battle phalanxes and fearsome weaponry, including halberd and pike. However, the fractured city-states all pay tribute to mighty Koth.
Corinthia is the progenitor of the Ancient Greeks.
Darfar: The sharply filed teeth of the Darfar savages haunt the dreams of even the boldest warriors who have faced them in screaming battle. Actually composed of a mix of various tribes, the Ghanata slave lords and the masked Tibu tribes foremost amongst them. Darfar gains its name from the scattered cannibalistic grassland tribes which most often provide the drive and leadership for empire.
Darfar is the progenitor of sub-saharan Africans.
Hyperborea: Cold and heartless, Hyperborea is ruled by grim, gaunt, albino nobles and by the sorcerously powerful witch-women. Safe within their high stone keeps on the snowy Hyperborean plain, the Hyperboreans wield power far beyond their meager resources and small army. Fortress of arcane power in the north, Hyperborea is a spiteful foe to Aquilonia and quite possibly the most dangerous kingdom of the Hyborian Age.
Hyperborea is the progenitor of Russia.
