The Teeth of Gwahlur are the legendary jewels kept in the abandoned city of Alkmeenon in the mythical African country of Keshan during the ancient Hyborian Age. No fewer than four factions vie to take possession of the jewels: the native Keshans, the neighboring country of Punt, another neighboring country, Zembabwei, and a band of Pelishti. Conan has learned of the treasure and journeyed to Keshan to lead the Keshan army, where he learns from the high priest, Gorulga, that all depends on the guidance of Yelaya, a mummified oracle. One faction hires a slave girl to impersonate the oracle but Conan soon unmasks the fraud. Another, Pelishti leader Bit-Yakin, something of a ventriloquist, turns out to have delivered false prophecies behind the curtain all along. Things come to a head, of course, and Conan is forced choose between making off with the treasure or saving the slave girl. Originally titled “The Servants of Bit-Yakin”, Jewels of Gwahlur was first published in Weird Tales in March, 1935.
