"Because of this the problem with Conan is that he’s fighting for a crown, and a people who are not his own."
He differs in this regard from Kull and Bran Mak Morn, who clearly are of the people they rule. But Conan was never meant to stay in one place. Fittingly for a character created by a man from Texas, he resembles a Wild West gunslinger who fights against evil to protect the oppressed, except that he uses different weapons.
Very apt analysis, I think Solomon Kane was also never meant to stay in one place. It is interesting that after 44 years old Conan makes his peace and makes a family and home for himself.
This one found me at a time when I’m feeling a lot like the Conan you describe. Thanks for your wise words.
Hey anytime Numedides glad I could be of service.

But good point about Kull and Bran.
