Ianthe:---the Royal Capital of Ophir is a city of domes, towers, and red tiled roofs. It is located in the north of the country, built around a high, stone outcrop along the Red River. The river winds around this black shale cliff, cutting the city in half. There are only two bridges, one a floating bridge, spanning the river here. The "Citadel", lies in the midst of the city, atop the outcrop. It has high, crenellated granite walls, and is the where the Ianthium holds court. The bulk of the city lies north and west of the river. (Shadows in the Dark, Star of Khorala, Conan the Triumphant, Conan the Great)

Icy Wastes:---a generalized term for the northern reaches of the world-continent, an area of tundra, taiga, and glaciation that was inhabited by savage snow-apes, the original inhabitants of the Hyborian homeland (Hyperborea). Invading savages led by Bori drove the snow-apes above the Arctic Circle, where they not only survived, but also throve. They are the presumed ancestral stock from which derived the gray man-eating apes dwelling in the mountains around the northern Sea of Vilayet and elsewhere. (Hyborian Age I)

Its highest peak was called the "Lord of the Winds" by the hill-tribes living there. Drujistan was a region in the southern Ilbars. Towns in all but the northernmost Ilbars Range were nominally subject to Iranistan, but hostile to it. (Flame Knife, Conan the Valiant)

Ilbars River:---the main watercourse of the Turanian Empire, it flows from it's sources in the Colchian and Ilbars Mountains, north through steppe and meadowlands, past walled Samara. The massif of the Misty Mountains prevented the Ilbars from reaching the Vilayet by the shortest route; and so the river flowed along the edge of the desert until it reached the vicinity of caravan rich Akif. There it angled eastward, swollen by drainage from the Misties, until it reached the Vilayet in a broad estuary at Aghrapur. Turan claims the area north of the upper river, Iranistan the area to the south, though neither has any military presence within several days travel to either side. (Shadows in the Moonlight, Conan the Hero, Conan and the Manhunters, Conan the Valiant)

In-Between-Lands:---a monster-haunted spirit-world lying between life and death. (Conan the Defiant)

Irakzai:---a hill-tribe of the western foothills of the Himelian Mountains, despised as "lowlanders" by the tribes of Ghulistan. (People of the Black Circle)

Iranistan:---a nation south of the Vilayet Sea and the Ilbars Mountains, west of Venjipur and Vendhya. It was the chief rival of Turan. Its capital was Anshan.
