Hi!

Didn't see your message here, sorry!

There is a large amount of unprecision in the Hyborian Age geography (especially when it comes to everything east of Zamora...), including what is and what isn't Stygia. But in most accounts, the main meaning of "Hyboria" is the land between Turan, Cimmeria and Shem (don't recall Pictland to be ever positioned on that setting), where the Hyborians thrived.

For the rest, it's kind of a mess:
 * The Beach at the Edge of the World is said to be the southern tip of the Hyborian world-continent, while the Black People lies on a subcontinent south of Stygia (Black Kingdoms' entry in the Handbook of the Conan Universe).
 * Many places are placed in Hyboria, fitting the Hyborian kingdoms' list, while Cimmeria, Shem, Stygia and other aren't listed as such in glossary or handbook entries, and never (IIRC) in comics as well.

As far, I've seen a few mentions of the Hyborian lands, mentioned in (IIRC) Stygia, Shem, Turan and Cimmeria, speaking of other lands.

I hoped to find something enforcing the non-Hyborian description of Stygia, or alternatively setting it in Hyboria, but I'm closing Savage Sword of Conan Vol. 1 end and I doubt I'll find much more. With hope, Marvel will publish a new handbook to solve that.
