Talk:Vendhyan

Perhaps Kaa-uu mentioned in the king Kull-story "By this axe I rule" is an old name of Vendhya. In the days of Kull a sage named Raamaa had much the same role as later Epimetreus the sage to the hyborians. The hindu god Rama was allegedly born in historical Ayodya whitch also is the capital of Vendhya!Also in Kulls days the scorpion was a symbol for good. The one tradition where the scorpion is wieved positively is in Buddhism, originally from India = Vendhya! The serpent men are arguably based on the nagas, wise- and often good!- serpent beings in Indian mythology. These live under lakes, like the appaerently serpent men that Kull meets and befriends in "Delcardes cat", probably abandoning his wow about a final solution of the serpent man question. One can also wonder how the lemurian slaves after thousands of years suddenly were able to overthrow the evil empire to the far east unless having aid and support from outside. Of course Vendhya(Kaa-uu?) is the likely. The same for the hyborian barbarians being able to destroy Acheron, a daughter-kingdom of that evis empire to the east. Not that Asura- worship is present, albeit often persecuted, in the hyborian lands. Arguably the feud between The earthly empire of the dark gods and The earthly kingdom of Asura has raged since the dawn of time- Perhaps more than ever now in the days of Conan - and the devi Yasmina!
