The spiked gauntlet that the ruler of Slothjemia wears as the symbol of their authority was originally commissioned by Manfriedreich von Slothjem early in his days as an adventurer. His favorite weapon was his beloved bastard sword, and to this day it continues to be the weapon of choice for a great many Slothjemians. But … Continue reading Punch Your Problems in the Throat

Paladin Houses in the Land of Assassins
Anyone who has studied Slothjemia, even superficially, knows that it is the cradle of two very notorious groups of assassins; jors and shadow elves. But in recent years it is becoming even better known as a haven for "holy warriors", the charismatic and noble paladins that in lands north of Slothjemia have been keeping evil … Continue reading Paladin Houses in the Land of Assassins
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

Work continues on the fourth story in the series begun by "An Orc for All Seasons", and also on expanding the available maps for the benefit of those that crave visual stimuli.

Nobody Reads Spy Novels… Do They…?
Now that we have finished the story about Thigpen, a new slot has opened up on Wednesdays. There is a completed story that can be plopped in there, but it is a little different than either "An Orc for All Seasons" and "Slothenburg Confidential." The main character is going to be introduced for the first … Continue reading Nobody Reads Spy Novels… Do They…?
How About That Thigpen?
Todays chapter concludes "Slothenburg Confidential", and now we come to the question that only the author wants to ask; would you like more stories about Thigpen and his exploits, or was that quite enough of his half-orcish shenanigans? Comments welcome, as always. It might be awhile before we get around to writing a second book … Continue reading How About That Thigpen?
Know Your Neighbors: Geldenreich
Sages have debated for centuries as to whether or not the massive "Empire of Gold" qualifies as being a part of the same region as Slothjemia. Geldenreich touches the northwest side of Slothjemia, the area known as the Grey Alps. It curves up and around to the north to also touch Romillia, and it lies … Continue reading Know Your Neighbors: Geldenreich
Thigpen Nears the Finish, Grundoon Gets Settled In
There is only one more chapter left to go in "Slothenburg Confidential", and here we are not quite at the halfway mark for "An Orc for All Seasons". Just thought I would pass this information along, because I've had a perfectly wretched afternoon, and I wanted to ruin as many as I could for everyone … Continue reading Thigpen Nears the Finish, Grundoon Gets Settled In
