Conan of Cimmeria has seen much in years as a reaver and mercenary, yet still some things remain shrouded in dark mystery. In his travels, Conan has come in contact with a malevolent force bound in enigmatic Black Stone, a power whose influence and malice has followed him through both the Hyborian Age and the swirling mists of time. Now, at an Aquilonian outpost on the edge of the Pictish wilderness, the Cimmerian feels another pulse from that enigmatic power, and with it, the stirring of memories and dangers he’d thought long left in the past…
Confronted by the apparition of slain writer James Allison, The Heroes of Man demanded answers concerning the black stone symbol. Allison stated the sigil meant they were all hunted. At the Wanderer’s Club in 1936, a terrible Black Stone Beast appeared from beyond, spurring El Borak, Conrad, and Kirowan, into decisive action. Outmaneuvered by the Beast’s terrifying speed and crushing strength, all looked grim, until the cosmic arrival of Brissa, whose Pict-blade spear drove the Beast away. Nary a moment passed before Allison pulled all the Heroes of Man through time and space, taking them to Conan’s Hyborian Age. Shock led to anger, then a brawl between Conan and Solomon Kane, before El Borak had a nightmarish vision. A memory of his past, now corrupted, invaded by the Black Stone Beast. Though his past-self fought valiantly, the Beast slew El Borak – killing him in the past but also in the Hyborain Age ‘present’. With our Heroes shocked to their core by his grisly demise. Brissa declared they had but two choices: flee or fight. Thus, the six remaining Heroes stepped through the Pict gate, seeking answers in the heart of the jungle.
