The Ancient World of Zothique

I draw upon the work of Clark Ashton Smith and others in this series. Smith’s conception of Zothique is that of Earth’s last continent in the very distant future when the sun has grown dim, the world has grown old, and the remorseless seas have overwhelmed all other Earth continents. The Sciences have been forgotten through the long ages; the shadowy arts of sorcery and magic have been reborn. The result is a dark world of older mystery, where luxurious and decadent kings and wandering heroes quest and adventure across dim landscapes, pitting their strength and wisdom against powerful wizards and alien gods, under a dying sun.
