Some died at his hands, but many escaped the edge of his sword. King Conan made many enemies in his winding road to power. Nobles that are not pleased with a Cimmerian on the throne are constantly scheming and pushing pieces around their political chessboard, some willing to sacrifice many pawns to get closer to their way. Just because it isn't crawling with muggers and pickpockets on the streets doesn't mean that the city is without a darker element.
