Cimmeria

Cimmeria is a fictional land created by the late American author Robert E. Howard for his Conan series of sword-and-sorcery stories. 
==Overview==
Located in the area occupied by the British Isles in the modern age, Cimmeria played host to the antecedent clans of the Gaelic peoples, and was the birthplace of mighty Conan himself. During the cataclysm which ended the Hyborian Age, the majority of Cimmeria sunk beneath the waves, all that remaining being the mountaintops which now form the various landmasses of Britain.
==Behind the Mythos==
Cimmeria appears to take its name from Greek mythology, which mentions the Cimmerians as a northern people who spend their lives in a mist-enshrouded realm near the Land of the Dead. Alternatively, it may have been derived from the Cimmerians, an ancient people active in the Crimea in the 8th and 7th century BC.
