The denizens of the inn were just as Twitch thought they would be. A few people near the entrance to the room glanced over to see who the newcomer was, and then went back to their own meals, drinks, and whispered conversations. Twitch looked around the room. In a corner booth under the staircase his … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 10

Eavesdroppings
There was nothing particularly notable about the Lieutenant Colonel, he seemed in most every way to be an utterly average orc. The army had been his career for his entire life, and while he was not a warrior by any means, there was nothing on his uniform to give away the fact that he was … Continue reading Eavesdroppings
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 25
Although a feudal state in most regards, slavery was abolished in Slothjemia from the very beginning. Self-proclaimed “Freedom Raiders” routinely organize and maraud the lands south of the Empire to seek out and free people being held in servitude against their will. Often these people are goblinoid, but they can just as easily be humans. … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 25
Pens Mightier Than Swords; The Other Two Generals
The role of Quartermaster General is an old and well-established tradition in Slothjemia. Usually given to a general or other high-ranking officer as they approach their retirement years, this title is bestowed upon a soldier well-known for their ability to keep the everyday things in life running smoothly.

The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 9
It was a pleasant ride to Hessra, a small town that obviously had had its share of unruly invaders over the years. There was a keep in the middle of the town, and the entire village was surrounded by a well-constructed wooden palisade. All of the buildings were safely behind this palisade, no doubt constructed … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 9
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 24

Soap, eh? Smells Like Sorcery…
Bathing. Once the sweet, clean pastime of the ancients, taking a bath has now fallen so far out of style as to be an uncommon, if not rare, occurrence. It has been argued, persuasively one might add, that if bathing ever makes a comeback, then Slothjemia is the best place for that renaissance to take place. … Continue reading Soap, eh? Smells Like Sorcery…
Selkirk’s Cellar
Travelers to the Slothjemian capital that want a truly unique dining experience should seek out the infamous underground tavern called Selkirk's Cellar. It really is underground, too. Two levels under the surface streets of the city, deep beneath the Blue Knight Inn. Operated by dark elves, it panders to the peculiar culinary tastes of the … Continue reading Selkirk’s Cellar
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 8
Right at midday, exactly as planned, Twitch and Sixx reached a little knoll overlooking the border crossing. Twitch dismounted, and would walk the rest of the way in to Geldenreich. He checked over his baggage, searching for any signs of anything a nosy guard might deem as illicit. Everything looked good. His bow was stowed … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 8
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 23
Perhaps the most curious aspect of Slothjemian spirituality is their love/hate relationship with paladins. There are three houses dedicated to these “holy warriors” and while they are viewed as vital components of the military, they rarely receive more than a tepid reception from the populace. The three organizations are the Von Schneid Cavaliers (v.S.C.) led … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 23
