Despite their united front and their show of dominance, The Aquilonians are a divided people. Their kingdom, the so-called "Flower of the West", is the unrivalled jewel of the World of Hyboria.

For all these epic troubles, the people of the world's greatest kingdom are cultured and educated, more so than any other nation can claim of its citizens. Scholars are respected as much as soldiers, and slavery - where it is practiced - is nowhere as harsh as the servitude found in other nations. Quality of life is important to the Aquilonians.

In Age of Conan Gold game: Hyborian Adventures, playing an Aquilonian will ensure a varied and diverse gaming experience. Landing somewhere in the middle of the Cimmerians and the Stygians on many different levels.

As the Hyborian Age enters its final centuries, few people feel it as acutely as the northern barbarian clans. It is a subconscious sensation - more a subtle, ever-present melancholy than any true emotion. But it is there, in the blood and bones of every Cimmerian. They all feel it. They each sense, deep within, the end is coming.

The Cimmerians are a barbarous people, with a culture shaped by their harsh and dreary land to the point where foreigners look askance at the tribes of the north and wonder if they ever laugh or sing any songs beyond dismal dirges.

In Age of Conan Gold game: Hyborian Adventures, Age of Conan Gold game players will find that playing the Cimmerians can be a very varied experience. Their barbaric nature, their stout posture and their willingness to charge into a battle where the odds are against them, should appeal to those Age of Conan Gold game players who would solve a dispute with the blade rather than with words.

Dominated by a ruthless theocracy dedicated to the worship of the serpent-god Set, the Stygians are masters of occult secrets and diabolic lore.

Stygian society is divided into three rigid hereditary castes: the nobility, the aristocracy or middle caste, and the peasant caste.

Worship of the evil serpent-god Set dominates the ancient kingdom of Stygia. There, no other religion is accepted (though the worship of Derketo is grudgingly tolerated). Praying to a god other than these is considered a serious crime, punishable by death!

Devoting their lives to the service of their deity, the Priests of Mitra are able to draw upon immense power and wisdom. While some dedicate their lives to quiet studies and worship to Mitra, others head into the wilds of Hyboria to seek out challenges and overcome them by employing the powers and protection their deity bestow upon them.
