Synopsis
Ages ago, during the rule of Kull of Valusia, the sorcerer Ohris Dehjmal is executed and beheaded, with the head thrown into the sea. During the cataclysm that sunk Atlantis, the box containing the head was thrust onto land and buried by the sands. Thousands of years later, in Ophir, an archaeological dig uncovers the box and it is taken by a young noble named Quintus, who is fascinated by it and sends his adviser Shato to the library in Nemedia to research information. In Corinthia, Conan, currently a sellsword for a mercenary army, finds himself in disagreement with his captain who wants him to burn an innocent farmer's land, which ends with the captain dead, the army fleeing, and Conan taking two bags of gold as spoils, giving one to the family to start a new life elsewhere. Shanto arrives in the Library at Belverus to begin his research, and soon discovers the history of the skull in the box. Back at Quintus's encampment, the young noble has begun to talk the skull, even purchasing a set of armor for it. When word comes from Shato, Quintus believes the skull is looking for the parts of his body to reunite with. Meanwhile, Conan has made his way to Larsh in Zamora, and is recruited by the thief Taliman to work for the local king of thieves, Elophistus (who has heard of Conan's exploits in Arenjun from years ago), although Conan blanches a bit at the idea of guilds and rules for thieves. He is not aware that Elophistus's treasure vault contains a mummified hand belonging to Ohris Dehjmal.
