Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…
One of the most hilarious and often overlooked aspects of any D&D game is what might be happening at the player's home base of operations while the adventurers are out looking for trouble. An old Slothjemian proverb goes, "If you go seeking danger, you will find it. If you are patient, danger will come seeking … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…
Knights of the Domaine; Order of the Iris
The third of the orders in the Knights of the Domaine is easily the most prestigious. It is also the most demanding of the orders, and unlike the first two orders, members of the Order of the Iris are rarely engaged in any other pursuits aside from their duties with the knighthood. They serve the … Continue reading Knights of the Domaine; Order of the Iris
Knights of the Domaine; Order of the Hammer
As one might gather from the name, the second order of the Knights of the Domaine is largely occupied by clerics, paladins, and other similarly inclined nobles that seek to not only serve the King, but also devote a significant amount of time and energy supporting the Church and it's causes.

This is by far the most notable elf to seek transport to the great hereafter, and it is being followed closely by everyone that lives along the king's final route. … Continue reading A King says Farewell
Slothjemian Squires
In some places a squire is a wealthy landowner, or an apprentice knight who learns from their master as they make the journey to become knights themselves. In Slothjemia, though, a squire is in a class all to themselves. Neither warrior nor wizard, rogue or priest (and certainly not psionicist), the squire is something akin … Continue reading Slothjemian Squires
Borrow an idea, improve it, and set it free
Long ago when I first came across the details of the Knights of Solamnia, I was immediately intrigued. Here was a lavishly intricate hierarchy for a system of lesser nobles that was perfect for any game setting requiring a group of armed, determined, and heroic leaders to see society through difficult times. As presented in … Continue reading Borrow an idea, improve it, and set it free
An Act of Unspeakable and Unprovoked Evil (less than 20 minutes of pure carnage)
The old adage that runs "an ancient evil long forgotten can prove to be the most disastrous" was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt when the Diosian Lodge reached out from their fetid, unholy realm and struck a blow against Fanolania through the horrific power of one of their own, the Viceroy, as he … Continue reading An Act of Unspeakable and Unprovoked Evil (less than 20 minutes of pure carnage)
