Stygia was an ancient nation, its roots lying back in the fallen kingdom of Acheron, destroyed by the Hyborians 3,000 years before Conan's time. Mainly desert, except for a fertile strip along the River Styx, Stygia most resembles Ancient Egypt.

*Stygian Chariot Runners, and only Stygian Chariot Runers, may provide support to chariotry and only to chariotry.

I have based the Stygian Army on the New Kingdom Egyptian.

The banner of Stygia was a black serpent on a green field.

Stygia was allied with the Southern Free Company and Turan.
