Who Knows Where We might End-up?

You really don’t know whether Farmer’s literary mentions are “real” or are part of his Wold Newton mythos. Here are a few mentioned in his Hadon of Ancient Opar:

  1. A correlation between Gondoroko and the wilds near Khokarsan: “L’E’ tonnant voyage de Hareton Ironcastle, J. H. Rosny.
  2. Remains of Atlantis: “The Queen of Atlantic”, H. Rider. (No definite outcome)
  3. Title explains it well: “Heritage of the Flaming God: An Essay on the history of Opar…”
  4. An Inhabitant of Carcosa”, Ambrose Bierce.
