Questing or Military Duty; the Royal Option
In Slothjemia there has been a longstanding tradition of the prospective rulers of the realm taking up a quest or two before ascending the throne.

Valentines Day in Slothjemia; “Nobody Said Anything About Orgies”
Famed Geldenreichen scholar Polbein the Younger encapsulated romance in Slothjemia with the observation that "That is where the mongrels flourish."

In broad terms there are certain races that are … Continue reading Valentines Day in Slothjemia; “Nobody Said Anything About Orgies”

Slothjemian Military Awards
The Slothjemian military loves its awards nearly as much as it loves getting itself into combat. However, there aren't many different awards to be had. Of the seven medals that are given, three of them are only available to unit and army commanders. Another is only given to soldiers that are injured in combat or … Continue reading Slothjemian Military Awards
