A new-found kingdom also called the Sunrise Empire, Turan is a nation whose lands initially extending only along the western reaches of the Vilayet Sea, but eventually stretching westward over the steppes and desert, reaching the border of Zamora by the time of Conan's reign.

Turan was founded by the Hyrkanians, who are none other than a great wave of the ancient Lemurians returning from the Far East.

Turan is the wealthiest realm west of Khitai, with the possible exception of Vendhya. It has many ports along the Eastern and western shores of the Vilayet and is mistress of the inland sea. Its capital, Aghrapur, has a huge, magnificent palace called the Sunrise Court.

The ambitious Turanians (often calling themselves Hyrkanians) make forays in all directions as they attempt to enlarge their empire. They have usurped most of the important caravan cities of the Eastern Desert by Conan's time, crowded the eastern frontier of Zamora, taken over the caravan route to the Far East with the assistance of their kinsmen, the Hyrkanians of the far eastern steppe, and even invaded Vendhya. Their strongest monarch, Yezdigerd, has made the Sea of Vilayets a Hyrkanian lake, and he exacts tribute from eastern Shem, Zamora, the eastern provinces of Koth, and Brythunia and has fought successful battles with the armies of Hyperborea in the north and Stygia in the south.  Hyrkanian cavalry have even raided as far west as Ophir,and have appeared on the Nemedian border.

Wizardry is admired and respected by its inhabitants. They are horse warriors and shrewd traders, defending their caravan cities against all comers. The Turanians maintain close ties with the Hyrkanian tribes east of the Vilayet, who are at least nominally part of the Empire of Turan.
