By anyone's estimation, the Sikilian Confederation is a blight on the world. Handily the most vile collection of loathsome rulers ever gathered in one area, Sikilia is singlehandedly responsible for everyone else thinking that Slothjemia can't be all that bad by comparison. Oh, there are times that you might fuss and fume over goblinoids running … Continue reading Know Your Neighbors: Sikilian Confederation

An Orc for all Seasons; Chapter 11
Huntsmen are the very definition of how people view Slothjemians; lethal, treacherous, pagan, and mysterious. In truth, they are very much like the rangers found in other realms, just with a very different mindset and a slightly more malevolent skillset. Adept at assassination, these formidable characters often travel and fight alone. These were the most … Continue reading An Orc for all Seasons; Chapter 11
How Goblins do Steampunk
The world in which Slothjemia sits is one filled with ridiculously goofy inventions designed to do everyday things. A water wheel to power a mill is perfectly ordinary, but perhaps the dam holding back the river is exaggerated beyond reasonable belief. Romillia has her skycruisers, essentially small galleons slung beneath zeppelin-like gas-filled canvas superstructure. Slothjemia … Continue reading How Goblins do Steampunk
Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 7
For about ten minutes Thigpen watched the people on the walkway. Standing there with a bottle of whiskey in his left hand and a truncheon in his right, he must have seemed a curious image of a constable to the people passing by. Just as he was about to resume his search for the mysterious … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 7
Pocket-Sized Empire
People unfamiliar with Slothjemia might hear the word "empire" and think that this country is some vast conglomerate of lands, stretching across horizons and spanning continents. Well, they would be wrong. Slothjemia is only a few hundred miles across at any given point, and if it wasn't smack in the middle of a turbulent region … Continue reading Pocket-Sized Empire
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 10
The Geldenreich sage, Polbein the Younger, wrote what is considered to be the definitive thesis on the relationship between the dwarves of Slothjemia and their non-dwarven neighbors. It is called “Strange Bedfellows” and examines not just the city of Kernschloss, but also the region of the Grey Alps. Of special note is the fact that … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 10

How to be Sorcerous
Casual observers might think that Slothjemia is overrun with skilled and powerful mages. This isn't necessarily true, but there are more spellcasters in the general population than one might find in several neighboring countries. There are a number of reasons for this, but the primary one is that Slothjemia attracts adventurers, and when they finish … Continue reading How to be Sorcerous
Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 6
Thigpen left Frazzer’s bookshop after having a couple of drinks to celebrate what he considered to be a break in the case. The dark elf with the odd mop of hair had also offered to share lunch with the constable, but Thigpen declined so that he could get back to his precinct and fill his … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 6
Stunning Illustrations, Bordering on Breathtaking
The news that Microsoft is planning to relegate their "Paint" program to being an optional program instead of an integral part of the Windows operating system has been ill-received in these parts. As you can tell from my gorgeous, sensuously artistic renditions of Slothjemian cartography, I am a master at the dance of the pixels. … Continue reading Stunning Illustrations, Bordering on Breathtaking
