Continuing on southward, through the wild mountains that separate the eastern Hyborian nations from the Turanian steppes, Conan eventually comes to Arenjun, the notorious Zamorian City of Theives. Green to civilization and wholly lawless by nature, he foinds - or carves - a niche for himself as a professional thief, among a prople to whom thievery is an art and an honored calling. Being still very young and more daring than adroit, his progress in his new profession at first is slow.
