The above possessions and game statistics assume Conan isfully prepared for war, and attired accordingly. If attackedat his palace, he might be unarmoured, and if expectingsomething more like a skirmish than all-out war, he is morelikely to wear a simple mail shirt or mail hauberk than the

full plate armour he is given here. Although Conan hashad access to Akbitanan weapons at times during his career,he does not appear to use them when king of Aquilonia,presumably wielding Aquilonian-made weaponry instead.

Even as king, Conan is still very much a man of action. Ifhe discovers a threat to his rule, he will tend to ride out andmeet it head-on though these days he may ride out at thehead of many thousands of armoured knights. He has learnta certain degree of caution, and will certainly act in a mannerbetting his high Intelligence; but given no other options,he would sooner be acting than sitting about in a councilmeeting.

His position as king will probably never be entirely secure.Perhaps no king is ever so fortunate as to be secure, butConan in particular must deal with almost constant attemptsby the old ruling house to restore its crown. Even thecommon people, though they know on one level that Conanis the best thing that has ever happened to Aquilonia, stillsometimes feel an emotional nostalgia for the old tyrant KingVilerus. In any event they are ckle, and soon forget theliberating benets Conans reign has brought, especially ifroused by a sentimental bard or charismatic rebel.

[A] tall man, mightily shouldered

and deep of chest, with a massivecorded neck and heavily muscled limbs.

He was clad in silk and velvet, withthe royal lions of Aquilonia worked in

gold upon his rich jupon, and the crownof Aquilonia shone on his square-cut

black mane; but the great sword at his sideseemed more natural to him than the regal

accoutrements. His brow was low and broad,

his eyes a volcanic blue that smoldered as ifwith some inner fire. His dark, scarred, almost

sinister face was that of a fighting-man, andhis velvet garments could not conceal the hard,

dangerous lines of his limbs.

King Conan will be featured in theforthcoming supplement The Roadof Kings, along with many othercharacters from the Conan stories,and accompanying full-colourillustration.
