The narrative describes a rich tapestry of civilizations, from the crumbling empires of the Thurian continent to the emergence of the Hyborian tribes, who dominate the western world with their conquests and cultural evolution. Howard outlines the various kingdoms, including Aquilonia, Nemedia, and Hyperborea, and situates them in a world populated by diverse races and religions.
