Literary Inspiration: Conan and Crom

It was useless to call on Crom, because he was a gloomy, savage god, and he hated weaklings. But he gave a man courage at birth, and the will and might to kill his enemies, which, in the Cimmerian's mind, was all any god should be expected to do.

-- Robert E. Howard "The Tower of the Elephant"

  1. Crom reminds me of Henry Rollins, who is also gloomy and savage.
