Apologies if this has already been discussed, but is it known when and in what region Howard's story Valley of the Worm takes place? It involves a tribe of Aesir, so I gather it's sometime in the Hyborian era, but that's all I've got.

It involves a tribe of Aesir, so I gather it's sometime in the Hyborian era, but that's all I've got. It's actually what could be called "post-Hyborian Age". It would appear to take place in the eastern portion of what could be called the Pre-Med ("pre-Mediterranean") Basin, where Picts had wandered down from the Hyborian kingdoms they'd conquered into the basin which would not be inundated until MUCH later (see "Brachen the Kelt"). There are also Sub-Saharan Africans/Kushites there, brought to the region by the conquering Hyrkanians and then abandoned. Hope that helps. |
