First of all, no, I did not catch the typo in yesterday's post until this morning. It is now corrected. Crisis averted. Second, after literally months of asking for feedback, somebody finally piped up last night, suggesting that it wasn't evident from the first moment that Grundoon tossing an officer off of the watch tower … Continue reading Oh sure, NOW you tell me…

An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 27
There are not as many towns and cities in the Coreland as there are elsewhere in Slothjemia, but the size of the largest city, Slothenburg, more than makes up for it. It is truly vast, rivaled only by the city-state of Kugahloo in the size of its population. It has no walls, and few fortifications, … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 27
Travelling in Style
Unlike most countries, Slothjemia is a place filled with travelers. Even in places like Geldenreich, the common folk rarely venture far from the places they were born, and only the wealthy venture a week's journey from home, and even then, it is rare. But in Slothjemia, folks born to the lowest level of society wander … Continue reading Travelling in Style

Circus!
Like most places, Slothjemia loves a circus. Travelling bands of entertainers featuring wild animals, acrobats, clowns, and curiosities have always been popular. But something about Slothjemia seems to make for the greatest shows to ever travel from one town to another. The most magnificent of these is the Deadling Brothers, Bedlam and Breakage Circus, a fantastic … Continue reading Circus!
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 11
Twitch stifled the laughter that welled up in his heart. He still had a job to do. He made a mental note of all that he had seen, and looked for a place on this side of the city to jump down, but on the middle-class side of the inner wall. He wasn’t going to … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 11
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 26
The military gets all of the glory in Slothjemia, but it is the varied branches of law enforcement that keep things calm day-to-day. In the early days of the kingdom, the swamps of the realm were treated as a sort of banishment point for foreign powers, and it was realized quickly that without strong laws, … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 26
Magic Makes Everything More Difficult
Fans of nerd fiction know that science and magic both are used as plot devices to make problem solving easier. Want to explore an alien spaceship? Scan it for life forms, and then teleport aboard. Want to bust down a castle wall? Cast earthquake, and toss in a fireball to clear out defenders. Magic makes … Continue reading Magic Makes Everything More Difficult
Dangerous Curves
Students of weapon design, specifically of knife and sword blades, have long had a fascination for jorish artistry in this visual and physical medium. Unlike most orcish and other goblinoid designs, there is an almost elven beauty in the curves of these exquisite steel creations, albeit exaggerated far beyond what the fairer folk would find … Continue reading Dangerous Curves
Holidays & Orcs
As with most societies, holidays are terribly important to Slothjemians. These are special times for the people, when the nobility must not require their tenants to labor, and only a handful of professions continue their work. Soldiers still war and conduct patrols, and the constabulary still keep the peace, but most everyone else is occupied … Continue reading Holidays & Orcs
