The Scarlet Citadel | 3

Hold on to your swords and shields because this week, Hither Came Conan dives into the pulpy depths of Robert E. Howard's blood-soaked brilliance with The Scarlet Citadel! Join your intrepid host Steeven as he takes you through one of Conan's most harrowing adventures. Trapped, chained, and battling horrific monsters in the dungeons of a cursed citadel, our favorite barbarian king faces cunning wizards, grotesque horrors, and armies of betrayal—but not without dishing out brutal vengeance in true Conan style!

From the grisly showdown in a dungeon labyrinth to an epic, blood-splattered final battle, this episode explores Howard's vivid storytelling and the chilling depths of Sotha's dark magic. Plus, Steeven delves into the two comic book adaptations—from Marvel's gritty Savage Sword of Conan to Dark Horse's gorgeously rendered King Conan—dissecting how each interprets this unforgettable tale.

Tune in for sword-clashing action, fiery hyperbole, and Steeven's fiery commentary. Will The Scarlet Citadel become your new favorite Conan tale? Let the battle commence!

Enjoy!
