I was flipping through a Modiphius RPG supplement--I'm not sure which one--and I noticed that it said that Ophir and Koth were vassals of Aquilonia?
Can that be true?
One the one had, Modiphius posits that its game is written by Conan scholars.
On the other hand, I've never gotten that impression from the stories I've read, either true Howard tales or pastiche. Didn't Ophir stab King Conan in the back in the Scarlet Citadel by siding with Stygia and luring Conan into a trap?
Besides that, Ophir and Koth are very old kingdoms--older than Aquilonia. Some think that those two countries may have been vassals of Acheron, long before Aquilonia was founded.
So, what do you think is most likely?

Sounds like they took the situation in SC and placed it in a template that doesn't actually quite fit. Maybe AFTER what happened in that story their situation changed to vassal status, but they were certainly at least close to equal footing when the story started, hence the "alliance".
