Narrative corrections

I have altered the reference to Conan being knocked out by a stone. Originally, it implied that Conan killed the pirate captain and was knocked out by a stone from said captain's sling. In the story, the stone is launched by one of the pirate captain's lieutenants at the same moment. Random noter (talk) 15:03, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

The youth sacrified in this story must come from the ancient empire to the far east of the ancestors of the ruling elite of much later Stygia. He is a mortal son of one of the nameless gods, perhaps The Great Dark Nameless one from "The altar and the Scorpion". If Ctesphon, priest-king of Stygia in Conans days is a descendant of - or even himself is!- such a mortal godsson his person ought to be a stronger and more mature version of the slender handsome youth with curly golden hair and alabaster-white skin described in this story.

King Ctesphon of Stygia in the days of Conan may be another godsson and resemble the youth in this story. 217.21.226.229 (talk) 10:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
