Gods, Demons, & Deities
of the Hyborian Age
In general, the "gods" of the Hyborean age are every bit as malicious and destructive as its "demons".
One is distinguished from the other only by local customs and cultural opinion. Throughout the Conan
mythos and Howard's other stories, the gods are assumed to actually exist. Campaigns in Hyboria are
much more fun if played as if the gods and demons do exist and do influence the world. The list below
describes most of the deities of the Hybroean Age. Feel free to add other historic and invented deities.
Also, in many of Howard's stories, the Cthulhu mythos of H.P. Lovecraft fame crossed over into Hyboria.
Feel free to include the Elder Gods and other demon beings of the Cthulhu mythos in a Hyborian
campaign for added horror, dark magic, and savagery.
