Zembabwei

is a country of the Hyborian Age.

Geography
Zembabwei borders Punt, the Land of No Return and minor Black Kingdoms.

History and politics
The twin kings rule the great hybrid trading kingdom of Zembabwei. The Cult of Damballah at one point eclipsed the Cult of Derketo and Dagon, to the point of civil war, but was quelled. Prior to that, the Zembabwan Kings plotted with the Stygian thief Thutmekri to conquer Punt, and steal the treasure of Keshan. The scheme was foiled by Conan, and assumedly plans of conquest were laid to rest.

Population and culture
The origin of the Zembabwan people is linked to the Kchaka tribe, their ancestors. The people worship many deities, such as Derketo, Dagon, Damballah and an unnamed Ape deity. Derketo and Dagon, are the primary cult, holding two gold idols in the main temple. Among the priest caste there exists Witch-Dancers, who aid in sacrifices and summoning. Zembabwan military is strong in the region, with a history of riding Wyverns into battle.
