History
Kalandor was a small city at the foot of the mountains of Zamora. Conan reached this town with no food or money. As suggested by a local beggar, he stole a couple of eye-shaped emeralds and gave them to a local merchant named Avoosl Wuthoqquan. The merchant paid him a good sum but then sent his man-servant, Gnut, to kill him and get the money back. Conan defeated his pursuer and followed the merchant to a cave, where they were attacked by a demon. Conan escaped but was robbed by the thieves he had originally stolen from and continued on with his adventure.[1]

Notes
- Kalandor was created by Roy Thomas and John Watkiss in "The Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqquan" (Conan the Adventurer #8; January, 1995), adapted from the eponymous story (Weird Tales; June, 1932), a story part of Smith's Hyperborean Cycle.[2]
- The setting of the original story, the city of Commoriom in Hyperborea, was moved to the original small city in Zamora during the Hyborian Age of Conan. Commoriom was referenced as "Lost Commorium" in the adaptation: In a sentence originally listing gems from Mhu Thulan and Tscho Vulpanomi among many others, the "sapphires of Lost Commorium" were added.
