Everyone that lives in Partum has a vague understanding that the people living in the Forkanzan Peninsula are a lot of wealthy, somewhat ambitious, and rather disorganized people. They love a fine wine, have a penchant for pasta, and thrive on feuds. What outsiders rarely hear about though are reports of war and conquest in … Continue reading Oh, What Fresh Forkanzan Hell is This?

Oh Honey… the time to object to the Marriage was before he asked her to be his Bride
Slothjemian weddings are wonderfully chaotic events filled with strong drink, strong emotions, and plenty of chances to get yourself punched in the throat for making some smartass comment. These are also perfectly good opportunities to stab a rival just so long as they aren't the bride or the groom. Because if there is one thing … Continue reading Oh Honey… the time to object to the Marriage was before he asked her to be his Bride
Elves Without Whimsy
The most elusive and difficult to interact with of the elves has long been thought to be the drow (also known as dark elves). In Domum however there is a race of elves that are even more aloof and suspicious of outsiders. Already mentioned as some of the most dangerous natives of Slothjemia's swampy coreland, … Continue reading Elves Without Whimsy
Feeling Gassy and Going Places
Long ago, and nobody except certain dwarven clans would be able to pinpoint exactly when, the deep mining dwarves encountered a curious phenomena.

That Went Surprisingly Well
Each and every new innovation in battlefield technology has to prove its worth sooner or later.

Slothjemian Spelljammers; Wyvern-Class Cargo Ship
The only thing that Slothjemian has ever had unrivaled success with in wildspace and with spelljamming in general is the movement of vast quantities of freight and armies.

The Garde Ecclésiastique: From a Certain Point of View
For as long as there was a Fanolanian Church there has been a Garde Ecclésiastique to ensure that the clergy and its property would be adequately defended. When the elves and humans decided to go their own way and sever ties to the leadership of the Holy Imperium Church there was a realization early on … Continue reading The Garde Ecclésiastique: From a Certain Point of View
Spelljamming’s Prime Directive
When Slothjemia first ventured into wildspace under the reign of King Manfriedreich IV they made a startling discovery. Not only were they not the first spacefarers native to Domum, but they were thrust into a whole new realm of rules and regulations. These new parameters for how spelljamming vessels could be used had been in … Continue reading Spelljamming’s Prime Directive

Continental Excursions: The Forkanzan City-States
The shattered remains of what was once the seat of the glorious and far flung Third Imperium, the Forkanzan peninsula is home to twenty city-states. These are mostly not single entities but rather collections of smaller communities that are bound together by geography and united noble families. All told there are actually over one hundred … Continue reading Continental Excursions: The Forkanzan City-States
