Although the title and rank sound terrifying, this position is one of the least powerful of the Royal Bureaucratic Council. Until law enforcement brings them somebody to accuse in court, they have little to do. And once they finish their arguments in favor of whatever punishment they are seeking, the magistrate takes over for sentencing, … Continue reading Lord Prosecutor; Keeper of Accusations
Story Notes
Continental Excursions; Fanolania
While it doesn't border Slothjemia, or even any of Slothjemia's immediate neighbors, the Kingdom of Fanolania is a powerful entity on the continent of Partum. Unlike the primarily human Geldenreich, Fanolania enjoys a largely homogenous political environment. Fanolania is also the most stable country in the continent, having had the same king for almost one … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Fanolania
The Phantom Legion
While not a large force, the Phantom Legion is the personal bodyguard of Slothjemia's monarch. All members are invited to serve by the commander of the legion, and are drawn from among the various military units of Slothjemia. Such invitations are extended to those that exemplify the best qualities of honesty, integrity, self-sacrifice, and valor¹. … Continue reading The Phantom Legion
Recalculating Route
One of the most enduring, and seldom explored mysteries, within Dungeons and Dragons is "where do all of the elves go when they get old?" Considering that players will explore damn near everything that happens in a game, from what might be lurking in the bottom of a village well to how to reverse a … Continue reading Recalculating Route
Lord High Inquisitor; Keeper of the Fear
Nobody in the Royal Bureaucratic Council is as openly feared as much as the Lord High Inquisitor. Their jurisdiction oversees all members of the realm's village, town, and city police forces via the Office of Urban Constabulary, as well as the Office of Interior Investigations, the official "state police" of Slothjemia. As has been noted … Continue reading Lord High Inquisitor; Keeper of the Fear
Lord High Sheriff; Keeper of the Rural Law
One of the most diabolical, scheming, and conspiratorial of the Royal Bureaucratic Council members is the Lord High Sheriff. Unlike the Lord High Inquisitor, who rather blatantly keeps the police state strong by their use of fear and intimidation, the Lord High Sheriff is far more subtle in how they collect information, and how they … Continue reading Lord High Sheriff; Keeper of the Rural Law
Lord Prosecutor; Keeper of the Accusations
Under criminal law in Slothjemia, there is three-tiered system by which the accused are brought to justice; Constabulary/Investigators, Prosecutor, and Magistrate. If the accused is fortunate enough to have the resources to retain their own legal counsel, then that gets thrown into the mix, as well. But if they can't, then they must face the … Continue reading Lord Prosecutor; Keeper of the Accusations
Slothjemian Army Units; Part 2
Every Slothjemian army is unique, and while they follow a certain pattern, it is noticeable right off that on paper and in person, each field and garrison army has it's peculiarities. But each one does follow a set of guidelines, a formula, if you will, to make it as ideal as possible for whatever purpose it … Continue reading Slothjemian Army Units; Part 2
Unique Ranks of the Realm
In addition to the Field Marshal, there are two other ranks that are unique in the Slothjemian army. One is the rank of Governor-General, but that is going to be explored in depth in the upcoming book, "The Governor-General's Oath." The other is Sergeant-Major, one of the most important jobs the army has to offer. … Continue reading Unique Ranks of the Realm
Slothjemian Army Units; Part 1
Boasting the only professional, full-time military anywhere in the continent, Slothjemia has a very different way of designating it's army units than does anyone else. In virtually every other nation, military matters are handled by raising armies from conscripted peasants or hired freemen, led by knights and other nobles. This is not the setup in … Continue reading Slothjemian Army Units; Part 1
