from the cover: (An adventure set in R.E.H.’’s Mythic Hyboria) “A cold wind blows south from the bleak fastness of Hyperborea, bringing with it rumors . . . a ragtag army marches, led by a backwater king named Sidor. At the head of his ranks, a creaking cart bears a strange banner--the barrel-shaped corpse of a monstrous demon from beyond the stars, its five-pronged head adorned with scarlet eyes, and fan-shaped wings nailed to a cross . . . men say Sidor found the thing amongst ruins high in the shadow of a blue glacier . . . a city of Elder Ones, reared when this world was naught but a plain of primordial slag.” “It is said no horse will approach the corpse, and even hardened fighting men blanch in fear, as the demon’s flesh gives off a stench offensive to the mind as well as the nostrils. Beneath this standard of madness the Hyperboreans slay and conquer, swelling Sidor’s power as he marches ever southwards for the Graskull Mountains.”
