Crom is a deity introduced in the Conan stories written by Robert E. Howard. According to the stories, Crom is an angry and disapproving god. He sits on the top of a mountain while passing judgment on the people below.
In the original stories from the 1930's, Conan generally does not pray to Crom. Instead, Crom's name is most often used as an expletive. This is where the phrase "By Crom!" originates.
