Doom's Medallion

Conan the Barbarian

Doom's Medallion is a small bronze plaque, embossed with the image of two writhing serpents with intertwining tails, that serves as the personal sigil of Thulsa Doom and the emblem of his serpent cult. Though modest in size and material, the medallion carries an outsized narrative weight: it is at once a badge of membership in the Cult of Set, a trigger for Conan's most harrowing childhood memory, a key that opens the way into the Mountain of Power, and the object around which Doom's interrogation of his captive turns. Its journey through the story traces the arc of Conan's vengeance, from the moment he plucks it from a sacred altar to the moment its master lies beheaded at his feet.
