Originally there was a complete first draft, though the later portions of it were in synopsis form, and a second draft which was started but didn't go very far. Glenn Lord gave Offutt the second draft beginning with the remaining portion of the first draft, Offutt worked from that.
Unfinished. Supposedly the last story REH ever worked on.

NOTES ON VARIOUS PEOPLES OF THE HYBORIAN AGE

This is an essay, REH scholars Rusty Burke and Patrice Louinet believe that the first page, dealing mainly
with Aquilonians, Gundermen, and Cimmerians, may have been composed very early in the Conan
series, perhaps around the same time as "The Hyborian Age," while the page covering the
Westermarck was clearly composed as background material for "Wolves Beyond the Border."
