There are two people on the Royal Bureaucratic Council that seem to be forever at odds with one another.

Work continues on the fourth story in the series begun by "An Orc for All Seasons", and also on expanding the available maps for the benefit of those that crave visual stimuli. The Coreland was the easiest map to do, primarily because it is such a small area. The other Grafdoms of the realm are … Continue reading Recent Developments

The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 4
Twitch spent the better part of the day making sure he had everything he needed for the trip ahead. There was so much to be covered; tack and saddle, proper shoeing on his horse, clothing for himself, checking the condition of his weaponry, and going through his spellbook. This last measure was the most vital. … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 4

An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 19
Goblinoids and alcohol have always gone together, albeit not necessarily well. They love to brew beer, all kinds of ales, and if they have been living on the surface long enough to discover apples, cider. More powerful spirits are not as commonly found, but in Slothjemia the existence of humans, elves, and dwarves means that … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 19

The maps that are included in "An Orc for All Seasons" were my attempt to clarify exactly … Continue reading Coming Soon!
Heir to the Throne
Queen Reichsha and her husband, Archibald, are blessed with a reasonably large family. For the first time in generations, the monarch of Slothjemia has produced multiple children, allowing a breadth of security for those concerned with succession. Multiple times in Slothjemia's history there was grave doubt that the line would continue in a strictly linear … Continue reading Heir to the Throne
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 3
Twitch took the leather pouch up to Bex’s suite with the chest of Geldenreich coins under his other arm. As the visitor in the floppy black hat climbed back into his coach and made their way back down the road towards the Slothjemian capitol, Twitch turned his full attention to the documents inside the satchel. … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 3
