Sundered from us by gulfs of time and stranger dimensions dreams the ancient world of Nehwon with its towers and skulls and jewels, its swords and sorceries. Nehwon's known realms crowd about the Inner Sea: northward the green-forested fierce Land of the Eight Cities, eastward the steppe-dwelling Mingol horsemen and the desert where caravans creep from the rich Eastern Lands and the River Tilth. But southward, linked to the desert only by the Sinking Land and further warded by the Great Dike and the Mountains of Hunger, are the rich grain fields and walled cities of Lankhmar, eldest and chiefest of Nehwon's lands. Dominating the Land of Lankhmar and crouching at the silty mouth of the River Hlal in a secure corner between the grain fields, the Great Salt Marsh, and the Inner Sea is the massive-walled and mazy-alleyed metropolis of Lankhmar, thick with thieves and shaven priests, lean-framed magicians and fat-bellied merchants—Lankhmar the Imperishable, the City of the Black Toga. (From "Induction" by Fritz Leiber) (Note: For real world size reference, the Island of Lankhmaria is roughly the size of South Korea)

The Crimson King

The Crimson King is a powerful immortal being whose characteristics mirror both the physical realm as well as the nature of the Prim. It is rumored that the Crimson King is related to Sheelba of the Eyeless Face and Ningauble of the Seven Eyes. The Crimson King is the self-assigned leader of the Random – or the Red – in opposition to the Purpose – or the White. The King is the controlling power behind such villains as Atropos, Mr. Munshun, Dandelo, and Randall Flagg. He also controls many minions such as vampires, the taheen, the can-toi and a great number of humans via John Farson. He has a number of godlike powers, such as telepathy, shapeshifting, weather control, and mental suggestion, as well as the ability to travel and exist on different levels of the Dark Tower and throughout the multiverse.
