“...I was born in the Cimmerian hills where the people are all barbarians.
I have been a mercenary soldier, a corsair, a kozak, and a hundred other
things. What king has roamed the countries, fought the battles, loved the
women, and won the plunder that I have?”
— “The People of the Black Circle” by Robert E. Howard
