Description There are several "Conan the Barbarian" related projects happening this year, ranging from the Conan 2d20 adventure game by Modiphius to Funcom's Conan Exiles survival game, not to mention the rumours of Arnie's Conan movie still going ahead.

This is a version of Hyboria I based on a composite of several maps other people have done over the years (including an original sketch by Howard himself)  that offers what I think is the most consistent layout of the fantasy continent of everybody's favourite Cimmerian.

As far as the civilization co-relations are concerned, they are general approximations as they are fantasy civilizations inspired by the historical ones.  Some have multiple descriptions that may be contradictory, so where this has happened, I've used historic civilizations that work for the 2d20 RPG because it's people that will be playing that game that commissioned it (Modiphius will be producing their own map of Hyboria, but release date not known and no guarantee it covers entire continent).

There are a couple of points that maybe should be different - I think Howard's original books refer to Western Sea instead of ocean...  Also, Kush is traditionally placed SW of Stygia, to the left of Darfar, but i never actually put it in.
