GIANT BLACK MEN SQUAT IN THE DOORWAY OF THEIR THATCHED HUTS, OR LOLL ON GROUND IN THEIR SHADE. THEIR WOMEN MOVE UP AND DOWN THE STREETS, WATER-GOURDS OR BASKETS OF FOOD ON THEIR HEADS. CHILDREN PLAY OR FIGHT IN THE DUST, WHILE IN THE SQUARES THE BLACK FOLK CHAFFER AND BARGAIN OVER PLANTAINS, BEER AND HAMMERED BRASS ORNAMENTS. SMITHS CROUCH OVER TINY CHARCOAL FIRES, LABORIOUSLY BEATING OUT SPEAR BLADES. THE HOT SUN BEATS DOWN ON ALL, THE SWEAT, MIRTH AND ANGER OF THE BLACK PEOPLE.

Of the numerous adventures faced by Conan, his exploits in the many lands of the Black Kingdoms are easily amongst the most tantalising and tempestuous of the various tales. Now, this trilogy of adventures gives other Hyborian adventurers a chance to experience the dangers and wonders of the Black Kingdom.

Tales of the Black Kingdoms comprises three scenarios designed for five to six party members of between 3rd and 4th level. Each scenario can be run as either an individual adventure, or combined together as a complete campaign, in which characters become embroiled in a Wadai revolt, discover the mysteries of Atlaia and battle the savage cultists of Jullah. Tales of the Black Kingdoms details the journey of a group of stalwart adventurers, their triumphs and losses, bloody betrayal and unexpected twists as alliances are formed and broken in the mysterious savage lands of souther Hyboria.

Each scenario includes a detailed description of the lands in which the adventure takes place as well as a menagerie of native creatures that scour the plains and jungles in search of fresh meat.

Tales of the Black Kingdoms reflects the narrative nature of the Conan tales, with each scenario built around a series of bloody or mysterious events ensuring that your own Tales of the Black Kingdoms feel as if they flow right out of the pages of your very own Conan chronicle.

Read on and discover the intrigue, brutality and dark magic of the savage south!
