    Magnificent and pleasingly gory tale! It goes to show that the real evil dwells in the hearts of humans and not in some ancient jewel. I liked the funny moments too.

    My money was on Jacob, as he was ordered to serve the wine.
    I think this is one of the best stories Howard has written. It is both an adventure story and a subtle murder mystery.

      God in the Bowl is another murder mystery by Robert Howard...

    I can't help but notice that Kull, Conan and Cormac all look nearly identical. considering that reincarnation is a thing in this world and that Conan started out in an unpublished Kull story I have to wonder if we aren't literally seeing multiple lives of one person. also for future reference Mongols roll their rs more and teend to extend vowels a bit, think an accent somewhere between Japanese and Korean.

      All three characters you mentioned are, in a good way, self inserts of Howard. Howard was proud of his Irish heritage and he was also tall, with black hair and blue eyes, though he was different from them in everything else. Howard was, like so many other writers of his time, influenced by the concept of the Übermensch, the Nietzschian idea of a man who's unbound from the norms of society and who defines himself and everything around him the way he desires to.

    Well with that reference to the Baste Priest that goes back to that cat in the Kull story, who may or may not had been said Goddess in disguise. I once had a guide for Cthulhu
    role-playing game and apparently Baste was actually present in Love-craft's lore among all his Great-old Ones. Its funny how this stuff goes full-circle!
    (That's the last Robert E Howard story I've gotten through on this channel. Phew! What a brutal yet brilliant vivid Imagination this Man had!)
