    "Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No, all that matters is that two stood against many, that's what's important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request, grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!"

    Ah Crom, Conan's god. In Actual Celtic mythos the name Crom comes from Crom Cruach who took on human sacrifice. His worship came to an end via Saint Patrick(holiday tie in!)

    Crom did no answer prayers. Generally his name is invoked in a curse to enemies.

    Interesting that Crom has any worshipers as his flock will say to never draw his attention as it just brings doom. Perhaps this is Crom's way of invoking individualism and a that which does not kill you makes you stronger way of life.

    Did Crom listen to Conan or he just happened to get his revenge because he's Conan?

    He got his revenge because he's Conan. But Crom was probably quite pleased with the events.

    This is only marginally worse than the Korn parody thread.
