History
Afghulistan was a country located in the southwestern region of the Himelians, to the north of the lands of Kosala and Vendhya.[1][verification needed]
The area received its name from its dominant tribal group, the Afghulis. They were traditionally outlaws who preyed on trade caravans and other travelers. They had a reputation of being fierce fighters and had resisted attempts of larger nations to annex them. The "perilous road to Afghulistan" became proverbial in the Hyborian world.[1][verification needed]
The wider Himelian region contained a large number of tribal confederations with similar cultural features, such as the Galzai, the Wazuli, the Zhaibari, and the Khuraksai. The Afghulis themselves were simply better known to the Hyborians.[1][verification needed]Notes
- The Afghuli were created by Robert E. Howard in "People of Black Circle" (September-November 1934), adapted in Savage Sword of Conan #16 (December, 1976) to 19 (June, 1977).
- Afghulistan was conceived by Robert E. Howard as the Hyborian equivalent to Afghanistan.[citation needed]
