An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 12
Slothjemians that are drawn to the “tribal” side of the realm’s politics tend to be more rural in their mindset. They cling to the old ways of goblinoid life, and resist being drawn in to a more humanlike, civilized culture. Leaders in these communities are shamans, witchdoctors, and of course, huntsmen. They are less likely … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 12
Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 8
Josephyne stood out from the motley crowd like a white ermine on a black velvet cape. Her beauty was disturbing. Thigpen couldn’t take his eyes off of her even if he wanted to.

An Orc for all Seasons; Chapter 11
Huntsmen are the very definition of how people view Slothjemians; lethal, treacherous, pagan, and mysterious.

Of special note is the fact that … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 10
Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 6
Thigpen left Frazzer’s bookshop after having a couple of drinks to celebrate what he considered to be a break in the case. The dark elf with the odd mop of hair had also offered to share lunch with the constable, but Thigpen declined so that he could get back to his precinct and fill his … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 6
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 9
Slothjemia’s naval force is small, and is itself divided into three parts; the Navy that patrols the Dolonau River and forms a defensive force in the Sea of Shadows from its home port of Reichstanta, the Spelljammers that operate from the city of Jaggerholmschloss on the banks of Jagger Lake, and the Marines that serve … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 9
Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 5
Just before dawn, Thigpen awoke. He was briefly disoriented, and completely tangled in his blankets. After getting himself free, he sat up and with his eyes still closed contemplated his day. He had a lot to do and would be all over the city trying to get it done. Thigpen put on a fresh uniform, … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 5
