The Triple Threat of Social Interactions
In the wake of every major heroic endeavor in Slothjemia there are three possible social interactions for the players to suffer through: a royal reception, a royal dinner, or a royal ball. If the heroic deed is truly worthy then there might be two of these things. If the deed is the stuff of legends … Continue reading The Triple Threat of Social Interactions
Slothjemian Spelljammers; Wyrm-class Battleship
The biggest and most devastating of the Slothjemian original designs for their spelljamming fleet is the 100-ton Wyrm-class battleship. This is the second generation of heavy warships that the Slothjemians put into use in wildspace. The first were even bigger and more difficult to handle and as a result fell victim to the more experienced … Continue reading Slothjemian Spelljammers; Wyrm-class Battleship
Slothjemian Spelljammers; Dragon-class Frigate
The 80-ton Dragon-class frigates are the backbone of the Slothjemian spelljamming fleets. Not as quick or maneuverable as a corvette these ships are unflinchingly tough and pack a tremendous punch. If they are unable to run down and grind an opponent into dust with its ram then they can unleash a devastating broadside attack with … Continue reading Slothjemian Spelljammers; Dragon-class Frigate
Slothjemian Spelljammers; Drake-Class Corvette
The 50-ton Drake-class corvettes are used mainly for fast patrol duty and transporting valuable cargo that would be too vulnerable on a Hammership or Squidship. Like all native-built Slothjemian spelljammers there are far too many crewmembers for these vessels to be used in long journeys. They tend to venture out only for a couple months … Continue reading Slothjemian Spelljammers; Drake-Class Corvette
Never Put All of your Orcs in one Impregnable Place

Queen Reichsha’s Throne Room

Shortly after she has lunch Her Majesty will convene court and sit over all subsequent procedures until it is time for dinner. While this hardly seems a break-neck pace in … Continue reading Queen Reichsha’s Throne Room
Knights of the Golden Empire
The sprawling lands of Geldenreich are kept safe and smoothly functioning in some part by the activities of the Knights of the Golden Empire. They serve as the officers in the armies of the empire and can serve in law enforcement capacities as well. Found in every part of Geldenreich, these "Gelderitters" are revered for … Continue reading Knights of the Golden Empire
Continental Excursions; Helvetica
Known by a number of names depending on where you are from, the largely difficult to access alpine nation of Helvetica is also called the Dwarven Confederation, Helvetian Alps, or the Dwarven Domain. As one might gather from the clues thusly provided there are a lot of dwarves living and working in this landlocked realm … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Helvetica
The Deklatines
Among the curious folk one might encounter in the southern portions of Partum are the Deklatines. Not exactly a separate race of humans as much as they are a theologically distinct group of people genetically similar to many other groups that originated in the western portion of the continent of Tantam, the Deklatines were once … Continue reading The Deklatines
