The Hyborian Age

From United States on August 6, 2009

Age of Conan is set in the Hyborian Age. It is a low fantasy, pseudo-historical ancient world. Game players can fully feel the mysterious world when play by yourself, other than Age of Conan Power Leveling. The Hyborian Age is created by Robert E. Howard. The warlord Conan has seized the throne of Aquilonia, but ancient evils seek to overthrow him.
It is said that the look and feel of Hyboria was created accroding to the interpretation of the stories written by Robert E. Howard. "When you read Howard's work you're immediately drawn into a gritty world of dark and ancient forces, and mighty and decadent civilizations. You feel the great weight of the ages and sense the very history in the crumbling mortar and the ruins. Therefore we've been mindful from the outset to create a world which is true to Howard's writing. There is majesty in Hyboria but it's of a monolithic, brutal and primitive kind - it certainly isn't "high fairie" where everything appears as though it was built only yesterday and is devoid of context."
A lead artist said the game at launch will contain three countries, Cimmeria, a northern country with snow and highlands, Aquilonia, which contains "green hills, lush riverbeds, and the marvelous city of Tarantia", and Stygia, with mostly deserts and "some beautiful cities" — as well as the island of Tortage which "has a diverse geography ranging from jungle to harbors." If you have you been attracted by the beautiful places, join the game and feel the magical world yourself or through the way of AoC Power Leveling to enjoy a more wonderful game time.
