"'The southwestern shore is held by the Hyrkanians for hundreds of miles. We still have a long way to go before we pass beyond their northern boundaries. I intend to go northwards until I think we have passed them. Then we'll turn westward, and try to land on the shore bordered by the uninhabited steppes.' 'Suppose we meet pirates or a storm?' she asked. 'And we shall starve on the steppes.' 'Well', he reminded her, 'I didn't ask you to come with me.'" '-- Robert E. Howard: "Shadows in the Moonlight"'

'Suppose we meet pirates or a storm?' she asked. 'And we shall starve on the steppes.' 'Well', he reminded her, 'I didn't ask you to come with me.'" '-- Robert E. Howard: "Shadows in the Moonlight"' The fabled "Wolf-land" of demons and sorcerers, Hyrkania has vast subhumid to semiarid tract of prairie, steppe, high desert, taiga forest, and tundra lying east of the Vilayet Sea, west of Khitai, and north of Vendhya and Meru. The Hyrkanians are ancestors of Lemurian people who moved into the arid eastern center of the world-continent long after their chain of islands sank during the Cataclysm. They freed themselves from servitude in ancient Khitai and began to dominate the steppes and deserts west of the Great Wall. Eventually, some of these northern Lemurians invaded the western reaches of the continent and became the ancestors of the Acheronians. Others stayed in the Hyrkanian steppe, apparently living in enclaves among the many aboriginal tribes, until after the establishment of the Hyborian Kingdoms. Then a southern Hyrkanian clan migrated around the southern end of the Vilayet Sea and established the kingdom of Turan. Savage horse tribes of the interior steppes, uncivilized in all but the arts of war at which they excel, the Hyrkanians move upon a shifting sea of unrest as turbulent as the fiery ponies upon which they ride. The Hyrkanian tribes war constantly amongst themselves, but when united under a great chief, they destroy armies as swiftly as their horse-archers can race across the endless flatlands which encompass them. Trained from childhood in horse and bow, the Hyrkanian cavalry has been called with good reason the finest horse-archers in the world.
