Not that the Slothjemian capital of Jordrakenschloss was ever anything other than a hotbed of chaos, but the last few weeks had been especially eventful. A large part of the problem was that the Queen's youngest son, Prince Bortimer, had been unusually active in the royal castle. What he was working at could only be … Continue reading Guess Who is Coming to Oktoberfest?

Infamous Villains: The Witch Queen
The only member of the Diosian Lodge that was female when she was alive is the Witch Queen of Dalmatia. Her sigil is a skull wreathed in flames and her flag is crimson and bright orange. In life she was a powerful illusionist, and as a lich she is the undisputed expert of things not … Continue reading Infamous Villains: The Witch Queen
“You Should be Right Fearful of a Clever Squire”
In the realm of Slothjemia there is a tradition of knights and nobles having executive assistants that are categorized as "squires". These are not the same type of squire that may be encountered in other lands in that most squires (as the title is understood throughout much of Partum) are themselves young candidates for knighthood. … Continue reading “You Should be Right Fearful of a Clever Squire”
A Tempting Offer
The man approaching the cottage in the high meadow that sat in the side of the Lotharingian mountains looked to be a hunter. His heavy hooded cloak shielded him from the icy cold wind although there was no sign that the man was in any way bothered by the late autumn chill. A smattering of … Continue reading A Tempting Offer
Its like Luther Vandross for Dragons
No sooner had Bizir and Xozos, two red dragons who made their home in Lotharingia's formidable alpine mountains, been killed than the other red dragons who laid overlapping claims to these parts began to close in and claim their share of their treasure hoards. Cirlolth had escaped the fighting that had led to the death … Continue reading Its like Luther Vandross for Dragons

The adventurers looked at the scene before them and began to enter the small one room cottage to see what was inside. Their senses were … Continue reading The Cottage in the Mountain Meadow
Jobberstadt
Work in the new settlement of Jobberstadt had been going on for several weeks now and tremendous progress was being made. Directly north of the shared town of Jivet-au-Marruse across the “Bridge of Bones” over the Marruse river, Jobberstadt was intended by the Archduke of Renatus to be a central export and import hub. Construction … Continue reading Jobberstadt
From the Void flows Scarlet
The crisp autumn evening air held no hint of the horror that awaited. Only the sharpest ears could have heard the crackle of magical energy as the imperceptible border between planar levels was torn open in a jagged oval shape. On the other side of this rift the landscape looked much the same, albeit in … Continue reading From the Void flows Scarlet
Renatus
The Archduchy of Maelonbourg and the Wenigzustand was never a title that rolled easily off one's tongue. Heck, it didn't roll off anything easily. The nations of Partum are filled with aristocrats that adore lengthy names and regal accolades but even among them the bulky name of this growing realm was a bit much to … Continue reading Renatus
The Lambs
The dreadfully dark and monstrous cathedral rose from a city that was as curiously devoid of color as it was the vibrancy of life. The shadowy metropolis resembled the Fanolanian capital of Avondace in the general sense of how it was designed and built, and yet it had none of the glittery grandeur that the … Continue reading The Lambs
