Leaving Zamboula, Conan rides westward with the Star of Khorala into the
meadowlands of Shem. Whether he reaches Ophir with it and claims his roomful
of Gold or whether he loses it to some theif or light lady along the road,
there is no record. At any rate, the proceeds cannot have lasted him very
long. He pays another short visit to his native Cimmeria, finding friends dead
and old ways duller than ever. When word comes that the kozaki have regained
their old vigor and are making King Yizdigerd's life as unhappy as possible,
Conan takes his horse and his sword back to the harrying of Turan. Although the nothlander arrives all but empty-handed, he has old friends both among the kozaki and among the Red Fellowship of Vilayet Sea. Presently, sizeable contingents from both groups of outlaws are operating under his command and finding the pickings better than ever. |
