NARRATOR: Between the time
when the oceans drank AtIantis...

...and the rise of the sons of Aryas...

...there was an age undreamed of.

And unto this, Conan...

...destined to bear the jeweled crown
of Aquilonia...

...upon a troubled brow.

lt is l, his chronicler,
who alone can tell thee of his saga.

Let me tell you of the days
of high adventure.

MAN:
Fire and wind come from the sky...

...from the gods of the sky.

But Crom is your god.
Crom, and he lives in the earth.

Once, giants lived in the earth, Conan.

And in the darkness of chaos,
they fooled Crom...

...and they took from him
the enigma of steel.

Crom was angered, and the earth shook.

And fire and wind
struck down these giants...

...and they threw their bodies
into the waters.

But in their rage,
the gods forgot the secret of steel...

...and left it on the battlefield.

And we who found it...

...are just men.

Not gods, not giants.

Just men.

The secret of steel
has always carried with it a mystery.

You must learn it, little Conan.
You must learn its discipline.

For no one, no one in this world,
can you trust.

Not men, not women, not beasts.

This you can trust.

Who knows what they came for?

Weapons of steel or murder?

lt was never known,
for their leader rode to the south...

...while children went north
with the Vanir.

No one would ever know
that my lord's peopIe had lived at aIl.

Only that the crowd would

He began to realize his sense of worth.

He mattered.

ln time, his victories
could not easiIy be counted.

He was taken to the East, a great prize...

...where the war masters
would teach him the deepest secrets.

To crush your enemies,

They said you would come.

From the north, a man of great strength.

A conqueror.

A man who would someday be king
by his own hand.

One who would crush the snakes
of the earth--

Snakes? Did you say snakes?

[GASPS]

-What is it you seek?
-A standard.

A symbol.

Perhaps on a shield.

Two snakes coming together.

Facing each other...

...but they're one.

With-- With a sun and a moon below.

Black sun, black moon.

Yes.

There's a price, barbarian.

Give me food so l have strength
when the wolves come.

Let me die not in hunger...

...but in combat.

Who are you?

l am Subotai, thief and archer.

l am Hyrkanian,
the great order of Kerlait.

So, what are you doing here?

Dinner for wolves.

[CONAN LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

What gods do you pray to?

l pray to the four winds.

And you?

To Crom.

But l seldom pray to him.

He doesn't listen.

[LAUGHS]

What good is he, then?

Eh, it's just as l've always said.

He is strong.

lf l die, l have to go before him...

...and he will ask me,
"What is the riddle of steel?"

lf l don't know it, he will cast me
out of Valhalla and laugh at me.

That's Crom, strong on his mountain.

-Eh, my god is greater.
-Heh, heh.

Crom laughs at your four winds.
Laughs from his mountain.

My god is stronger.

He is the everlasting sky.

Your god lives underneath him.

SUBOTAl:
Stink!

Does it always smell like this?
How does the wind ever get in here?

[CROWD CHATTERlNG]

How about two snakes
coming together over a black sun?

A magnificent standard.

The only snakes l know of are those of Set,
in those cursed towers.

They have spread to every city.

Two, three years ago,
it was just another snake cult.

Now, everywhere.

lt is said that they are deceivers.
They murder people in the night.

l know nothing.

Hey.

Black lotus. Stygian. The best.

This better not be Haga.

MAN:

NARRATOR: They were taken to the hall
of King Osric, the Usurper.

Once a powerful Northman like my lord...

These are the thieves

Uh, our companion, he died in the gardens.
Lions ate him.

Lions ate him?

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG]

Lions ate him.

[OSRlC LAUGHlNG]

Why, Rexor himself has come before me,
threatened me, the king.

What daring! What outrageousness!
What insolence! What arrogance!

l salute you.

[OSRlC LAUGHlNG]

Thulsa Doom.
l've chafed for years at this demigod.

Snakes in my beautiful city.

To the west, Nemedia, Aquilonia.
To the south, Koth, Stygia.

Snakes. Everywhere, these evil towers.

You alone have stood up to their guards.
And what are you?

Thieves.

You see this?

They call it the Fangs of the Serpent.

And this one was thrust
into a father's heart...

...by his very son.

And my own daughter has fallen
under this Thulsa Doom's spell.

ls there a dagger such as this
in her hand for me?

She follows him as a slave...

...seeking for the truth of her soul...

...as if l could not give it to her.

As we speak, my daughter travels east...

...to Thulsa Doom
and his Mountain of Power.

She is to be his.

[SNAPS]

Steal my daughter back.
Take all you can carry.

There's more. There's much more.
Enough to become kings yourselves.

There comes a time, thief,
when the jewels cease to sparkle...

...when the gold loses its luster...

...when the throne room
becomes a prison...

...and all that is left
is a father's love for his child.

To the hellfires with Thulsa Doom.
He's evil.

A sorcerer who can summon demons.

His followers' only purpose
is to die in his service.

Thousands of them.

This Mountain of Power where he lives
is said to be impregnable.

l have talked to Subotai and he agrees.

Let's take what we have while we live.

l have never had so much as now.

All my life, l've been alone.

Many times l've faced my death
with no one to know.

l would look into the huts and the tents
of others in the coldest dark...

...and l would see figures
holding each other in the night.

But l always passed by.

You and l, we have warmth.

That's so hard to find in this world.

Please, let someone else pass by
in the night.

Let us take the world by the throat
and make it give us what we desire.

NARRATOR:
The children of Doom. Doom's children.

They told my lord the way
to the Mountain of Power.

They told him to throw down his sword
and return to the earth.

[NARRATOR SCOFFS]

Time enough for the earth in the grave.

Ooh.

Once, great men lived here. Giants, gods.

Once, but Iong ago.

It was here that I met my master.

It was no accident...

...nor is it mere chance
that l am the teIler of his tale.

MAN:
Hey!

l'm a wizard, mind you.

This place is kept by powerful gods
and spirits of kings.

Harm my flesh
and you will have to deal with the dead.

Can you summon demons, wizard?

Yes! l strike at you.

l would summon a demon more ferocious
than all in hell.

[LAUGHlNG]

WlZARD: Mounds have been here
since the time of the Titans.

Kings buried in them, great kings.

Domains once glittered like the light
on the windy sea.

Fire won't burn there. No fire at all.

That's why l live down here in the wind.

Do you care for these places?

l sing to them on nights when they wish.

l sing of the tales of battles, heroes,
witches and women.

Nobody bothers me down here.

Not even Thulsa Doom.

Do flowers grow around here?

Flowers?

[SCOFFS]

[LAUGHlNG]

[WlZARD SNORTlNG]

Flowers.

WlZARD: You've not come here

Where is the Eye of the Serpent?

Rexor says that you gave it to a girl.

Probably for a mere night's pleasure.
Hmm?

What a loss.

People have no grasp of what they do.

You broke into my house,
stole my property...

...murdered my servants and my pets.

And that is what grieves me the most.

You killed my snake.

Thorgrim is beside himself with grief.

He raised that snake
from the time it was born.

You killed my mother.

You killed my father.
You killed my people!

You took my father's sword.

[CONAN GROANS]

Ah.

lt must have been when l was younger.

There was a time, boy,
when l searched for steel.

When steel meant more to me
than gold or jewels.

The riddle of steel.

Yes.

You know what it is, don't you, boy?

Shall l tell you? lt's the least l can do.

Steel isn't strong, boy. Flesh is stronger.

Look around you.

[GRUNTS]

There, on the rocks.

That beautiful girl.

Come to me, my child.

That is strength, boy.

That is power.

The strength and power of flesh.

What is steel
compared to the hand that wields it?

Look at the strength of your body,
the desire in your heart.

l gave you this.

Such a waste.

Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.

to fight at your side.

The old man says
the Mountain of Power is hollow.

Thulsa Doom lives in the mountain.

What else does he say?

That in the back of the mountain,
there's a gorge.

Many caves.

A thief could get in there,
steal the princess...

...and be off before she's missed
in the darkness.

Good thieves could do that,
but not vengeful ones.

Only the girl.
We kill Thulsa Doom another day.

l remember days like this
when my father took me to the forest...

...and we ate wild blueberries.

More than 20 years ago.

l was just a boy of 4 or 5.

The leaves were so dark and green then.

The grass smelled sweet
with the spring wind.

Almost 20 years of pitiless combat.

No rest, no sleep like other men.

And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai.

Have you ever felt such a wind?

They blow where l live too.

ln the north of every man's heart.

lt's never too late, Subotai.

No.

lt would only lead me back here
another day.

ln even worse company.

For us, there is no spring.

Just the wind that smells fresh
before the storm.

...l have never prayed to you before.

l have no tongue for it.

No one, not even you,

Why we fought or why we died.

No.

All that matters

That's what's important.
