Cimmeria (Conan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cimmeria is a fictional land of barbarians in antediluvian earth (cp. the Hyborian Age) and the homeland of Conan the Barbarian in the works of Robert E. Howard. The inhabitants of fictional Cimmeria are not to be confused with the historical Cimmerians, who lived on the northern Black Sea coast in the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Instead they are a sort of proto-Celts, with many of the same gods (Nemain, Macha, Crom who is thought to be Crom Cruach).
