Seven Empires

The fabulous Seven Empires,^[1][2][3][4] Seven Empire of Thuria,^[1] or Seven Kingdoms,^[5][6][7] were the civilized nations that dominated the Pre-Cataclysmic Age,^[2] the civilized nations of the mainland^[1] and the principal political entities of the Western world at the time of Kull.^[3]

The Seven Empires included Kamelia, Valusia, Verulia, Grondar, Thule, Commoria,^[1][2][3] and the Triple Federation, composed of Farsun, Zarfhaana and another unnamed country.^[3][1]

Valusia was the greatest of the Seven Empires.^[8]

Notes

• The listing for the seventh spot among the Seven Empires varied for Robert E. Howard experts:
  • Robert Weinberg considered that the seventh member, the Triple Federation, might had included Farsun, Zarfhaana and another unnamed country.^[3] That listing was retained in the Atlantis and the Pre-Cataclysmic Age's entry of the Handbook of the Conan Universe #1.
    • "A Gazeteer of the Hyborian Age", compiled by Lee Falconer, suggested that the Triple Federation included Farsun, the Atlantean Colonies, and Lemuria-of-the-West.^[3]
  • Thurania might also ad a place among the Seven Empires.^[3]
  • Zarfhaana was considered (seemingly on its own) as possibly^[9] or probably the seventh member.^[2]
