PlotConan, the formidable barbarian warrior, is tasked by the untrustworthy Queen Taramis to escort her niece, Princess Jehnna, on a perilous quest to retrieve a magical gem. This gem is the key to unlocking a legendary treasure, the Horn of Dagoth, an artifact of untold power. To ensure Conan’s cooperation, the queen promises to resurrect his beloved Valeria upon his successful return. Accepting the quest, Conan assembles a small band of companions: the wily thief Malak, the fierce warrior Zula, the wise wizard Akiro, and the imposing bodyguard Bombaata, who is secretly charged by the queen to watch over the princess.
Their journey leads them across a landscape filled with strange and dangerous foes. They must contend with the mystical challenges of a powerful wizard and a fortress guarded by a formidable beast. Fierce battles and treacherous alliances test Conan and his comrades as they struggle to fulfill their mission, all the while unaware of the true machinations of Queen Taramis and what her plans may hold for both them and the fate of the world. Trust and loyalty are put to the ultimate test as the adventurers navigate the treacheries that surround them, bringing to light the strength and character of the mighty Conan.
