Amra is
named after Conan, who called himself by that name when he was a pirate.
|
Amra
is about various heroes, mostly of sword & sorcery stories set in
fantasy worlds. Amra was started as the organ of the Hyborian Legion,
a group of Conan admirers who met annually at the World Science Fiction
Convention; Legion membership was open to all interested parties who showed
up.
