Rufia's interest seems to have lasted no longer than the loot that
Conan brought from Asgalum, or he may have traded her for a better
horse before taking service under Amalric of Nemedia, mercenary general
of Queen-Regent Yasmela of the little border kingdom of Khoraja.
Here he soon works his way up to the rank of captian. Yasmela's brother, the
king of Khoraja, is a prisoner in Ophir, and her borders are assailed by
nomadic forces gathered by a mysterious veiled sorcerer, Natohk.
The Night of Power, when Fate stalked through the corridors of the world
like a colossus just risen from an age-old throne of granite-"
