Alternative Title: THE TREASURE OF TRANICOS

Featuring CONAN

ECHOES OF VALOR, TOR, PB, 1987 (REH1)
THE CONAN CHRONICLES, Volume 2, Millenium, February 2001 (REH1)

Originally written by REH as a Conan story, was not accepted, so REH rewrote it into a Black Vulmea story ("Swords of the Red Brotherhood"), also not accepted. LSDC found the second story, and rewrote it into a different Conan story ("The Treasure of Tranicos"). Hence, there are 3 different versions of this story, REH1, REH2 (listed here under "Swords of the Red Brotherhood"), and REH/LSDC. For publication in Fantasy Fiction Magazine, the story was re-written further by Lester del Rey. The other versions appear in the following places:

FANTASY FICTION MAGAZINE, March 1953 (REH/LSDC/del Rey)
KING CONAN, Gnome, 1953 (REH/LSDC)
