Xai

Hey Xai! Welcome to the forum. Biblically, the Anakim were a tribe of giants living near Gath, in Philistia. They were possibly (somehow) descendants of antediluvian giants. They were the Rephaim, or, the "descendants of Repha". Besides Goliath, there were Ishbi-benob, Lahmi and Sippai. What story does Othbaal appear in?

He appears in Savage of the Sword #36, Conan the Barbarian #112 and #115 I believe.

This is my source.

Thanks for your reply

Greetings all,

As an avid fan of Age of Conan, I've started writing for the Age of Conan Wiki. At the moment, I'm trying to gather some information on the Anaki, and their city-state Anakia - it's proving futile. I've done an extensive search of your site on google, and other sites, and I've only been able to gather this information:

- The Anaki are people of the city-state, Anakia, in Shem.
Othbaal:
- Was an Anaki
- General of the Anakian troups in Asgalun, formerly leader of the Anakian rebels in Shem
- Othbaal was the leader of the Anaki in Shem. He lead a rebellion and asked the help of Akkharia, ruled by King Sumuabi, his cousin.
- Sumuabi of Akkharia started to gather mercenaries. The news arrived to the plateaus of Buryat where Conan the Barbarian heard them.
- Othbaal, in Akkharia, recruited men for the war. He spoke to the mercenaries who arrived at Akkharia.
- Akkharia gathered an army. Conan was part of the volunteers sent in help of the rebels. Othbaal betrayed the Anaki giving them to the royal army, then set a trap up the volunteers who were all slain. Conan the Barbarian was the only survivor.
- Othbaal went to Asgalun. There, his cousin Akhirom named him general of all the Anaki troups of the Town. Othbaal became one of the three most important Akhirom's lieutenants.

But that still doesn't give me any direct information about who the Anaki were, what Anakia was like, their culture, etc.

Would you guys happen to know anything?
