Howard wrote a few pages centered on Aquilonia in an essay he titled NOTES ON VARIOUS PEOPLES OF THE HYBORIAN AGE.  You may be able to find this on the net.  I read it in my copy of THE COMPLETE CHRONICLES OF CONAN by Robert E. Howard.  It is also included among other published collections of Conan tales.<img src="https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/pathfinder/images/4/4d/Blood_for_Blood.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100326022107" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1268232012i/152249._UY421_SS421_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/01/97/18/019718fd3ae51a654d4e6d134f082dac.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
