Talk:The Shadow Kingdom


 * However, in "Delcardes Cat" Kull encounters what seems to be, though not explicitly, a community of serpent men living under a lake (like the nagas of Indian mythology, arguably the source of inspiration for the serpent men) close to his capital. There, he discovers their version of the conflict between serpent men and "true" men, learning that the same thing may look quite different from the other side of the square. Probably Kull did abandon his vow to destroy the serpent men after that. Quite clearly, the land that is Stygia in the days of Conan was the last stronghold of the serpent men, long after Kull. It was the conquerors coming from the east, perhaps ultimately ancient Mu, who destroyed the Serpent Men.

I've removed the above paragraph from the plot section of the article because it is not from this specific publication and including it here is just plain confusing. "Delcardes' Cat" is part of the Kull (short story collection) so if anything this information should go there. 2601:342:100:9000:4934:6F35:B466:CFA3 (talk) 19:03, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
