Storyline
A sword is forged by a blacksmith, who then shows it to his young son, Conan, as he tells him of the Riddle of Steel, an aphorism on the importance of the metal to their people, the Cimmerians. The city guards capture the trio and bring them to King Osric, who requests they rescue his daughter, Princess Yasimina—now a zealot in Doom’s cult—for a handsome reward.
