From out of the deepest, most violent recesses of mankind&#8217;s collective memory, Kothar the gigantic barbarian strides, the enchanted sword Frostfire glittering in his mighty hand. Lusty, hot-blooded, masterful, unafraid of things real or unreal, Kothar dominates the misty, bloody world before recorded time. Yet, though Kothar&#8217;s world existed in another age&#8211;perhaps another dimension&#8211;it springs vividly to life. Mapped, charted, chronicled, Kothar&#8217;s fantastic world suddenly becomes real&#8211;the sorcerers, dragons, witches, evil potions, unspeakable monsters. And Kothar, an epic hero for any age, overshadows everything.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the Sanctum Secorum podcast. In this episode we look at the world of Gardner F Fox&#8217;s Kothar: Barbarian Swordsman.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we have bonus content to bring to your game: classes, magic items and so much more&#8230;after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanctum.media\/blog\/index.php\/dark-acquisitions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Acquisitions<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>There is a great deal of new material to bring to the table based on this story.
