Conan's fatalistic view of the gods and his acceptance of an uncertain afterlife reflect themes of fate and destiny.

The stars dictate the timing of the king's death, and his soul's fate hangs in the balance, ultimately saved by Yasmina's fatal act.

Yasmina is forced to relive all her past lives, suggesting a deterministic cycle of suffering and the inescapable weight of her own history.
