Hyborian Age
The Orichalcum's legend survived in the Hyborian Age's Hyboria world-continent.[1]
Age of Conan (10,000 BC)
Eight thousand years after the Great Cataclysm, Avalon the largest surviving island of Atlantis flourished through the trade of gold and orichalcum.[5]
In the Age of Conan, the materials necessary to make Orichalcum were very hard to come by. Daedikaron seemingly managed to produce some,[4] which he used to fashion his wings,[2] treated with Vril.[3]
Years later, after boarding a valley from descendants of Atlanteans, Conan found a casket of Orichalcum containing a map of the isles of Antillia.[1]

Orichalc was required for the spell assembled by the Logomancer to destroy the Aqueos. Namor used a liquid form of it.[6]
