For reference for your Conan games. Kull and Valusia exist about 4,000 years before Conan. If you need ancient atlantean stuff, here is some info from Robert E Howard's Kull stories. If you have any other insight into this, feel free to comment. We've been using it in our games in "ancient ruins."
RELIGION GOD GODS IN THE DAYS OF KING KULL
Valka – god of the sea and the land, supreme, creator god. Worshipped by both pict and atlantean, valusians and Zarfhannians
Thuron, high preist of the black shadow. The unamable One symbolized by the black shadow
The Great Scorpion, the crawling god. God of the crawling darkness grant me aid (scorpion god)..forgotten god
The Serpent God – Of the serpent men and serpents
Hothath – deity of the underworld
Honan – fertility goddess?
Holgar- heathen god
Helfara – Goddess of the underworld" Helfara and Hotath damn my soul to everlasting hell if I wreak not my vengeance. "
The Fates: "Women who weave the webs of fate."
Dark elder gods (Thuron, leader of cult of priests). Unknown elder gods
"Gods of the seas"
"The real gods are dark and bloody. Remember my words when soon you lie on an ebon altar behind which broods a black shadow forever. Before you die you shall know the real gods, the powerful, the terrible gods, who came from forgotten worlds and lost realms of blackness. Who had their birth on frozen stars, and black suns brooding beyond the light of any stars. You shall know the brain-shattering truth of that Unnameable One, to whose reality no earthly likeness may be given, but whose symbol is -- The Black Shadow!"
