The journey was always one of Twitch’s favorite parts of any job. He had always loved visiting new places, meeting new people, and learning songs from far-flung regions. He believed that music was the ultimate passport for a nomadic soul. Once you learned the songs of a people, you became a welcome guest. If you … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 5

Goblin Healthcare
There are very few doctors in Slothjemia, but to be honest, there are very few doctors anywhere. Geldenreich has a very prestigious university that graduates a small number of physicians every year, and there is an equally prominent medical school in Kugahloo that does the same. But in between these two places there is a … Continue reading Goblin Healthcare
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 20
Contrary to the maxim that “Good conquers Evil”, Slothjemia has created its own method for keeping wickedness in check; paperwork. The large and mostly efficient bureaucracy that keeps things moving in the empire does so because every desk clerk is, in their own way, a sort of tyrant. Ruthlessly dedicated to whatever job they are … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 20
The Archbishop of Slothenburg & The High Warlock; Two sides of the Same Coin
There are two people on the Royal Bureaucratic Council that seem to be forever at odds with one another. No matter who occupies those roles, they find themselves embroiled in a nearly endless feud, pitting their expertise against each other in a struggle to influence the Crown, and temper the other's ability to do the … Continue reading The Archbishop of Slothenburg & The High Warlock; Two sides of the Same Coin

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
Edjumahkayshun
Thanks largely to the demands placed upon military officers, and the emphasis placed on keeping meticulous records for everything in the bureaucracy, Slothjemia enjoys a higher literacy rate than most of it's neighbors. The further south one travels on the continent, the more likely they are to encounter well-read natives, and conversely, the further north … Continue reading Edjumahkayshun
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
Knighthoods, Ribbons, and Medallions
Simplicity is key to goblinoids understanding their place in the world, the tasks they are expected to accomplish, and the rewards with which they are paid. Historically one of the best ways that the rulers of Slothjemia have found to honor the great deeds of its adventurers, heroes, and other accomplishers of note, are knighthoods. … Continue reading Knighthoods, Ribbons, and Medallions
