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
Story Notes
Lord High Magistrate; Keeper of the Laws
The person primarily responsible for codifying the realm's laws, and making sure that every magistrate in the Empire is doing their job correctly, the Lord High Magistrate is second only to the Empress in how much legal authority that they wield. Rarely is the Lord High Magistrate called upon to officiate in a courtroom setting, … Continue reading Lord High Magistrate; Keeper of the Laws
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
The Archbishop of Slothenburg & The High Warlock; Two sides of the Same Coin
There are two people on the Royal Bureaucratic Council that seem to be forever at odds with one another. No matter who occupies those roles, they find themselves embroiled in a nearly endless feud, pitting their expertise against each other in a struggle to influence the Crown, and temper the other's ability to do the … Continue reading The Archbishop of Slothenburg & The High Warlock; Two sides of the Same Coin
Edjumahkayshun
Thanks largely to the demands placed upon military officers, and the emphasis placed on keeping meticulous records for everything in the bureaucracy, Slothjemia enjoys a higher literacy rate than most of it's neighbors. The further south one travels on the continent, the more likely they are to encounter well-read natives, and conversely, the further north … Continue reading Edjumahkayshun
Knighthoods, Ribbons, and Medallions
Simplicity is key to goblinoids understanding their place in the world, the tasks they are expected to accomplish, and the rewards with which they are paid. Historically one of the best ways that the rulers of Slothjemia have found to honor the great deeds of its adventurers, heroes, and other accomplishers of note, are knighthoods. … Continue reading Knighthoods, Ribbons, and Medallions
Coming Soon!
It has become glaringly obvious that what this site needs is more maps. It is tough to navigate around a world you don't know without some idea where in the heck you are in relation to anything else. The maps that are included in "An Orc for All Seasons" were my attempt to clarify exactly … Continue reading Coming Soon!
Heir to the Throne
Queen Reichsha and her husband, Archibald, are blessed with a reasonably large family. For the first time in generations, the monarch of Slothjemia has produced multiple children, allowing a breadth of security for those concerned with succession. Multiple times in Slothjemia's history there was grave doubt that the line would continue in a strictly linear … Continue reading Heir to the Throne
That Doesn’t Sound Like a Real Job
There is one career that just hasn't managed to get a foothold in Slothjemia, and that is because there just isn't any call for their services within the realm. Bounty hunters are a vital part of keeping law and order in nations all around the continent, but in Slothjemia they just aren't needed. People arrive … Continue reading That Doesn’t Sound Like a Real Job
Shadow Elves; The Other Assassins
Everyone likes to talk about how jors were the original native people of Slothjemia's swampy coreland, but there is another race of people that hid among the oak trees and hunted in the fens of this fetid and foreboding locale. Shadow elves are found all across the continent, but one really has to look for … Continue reading Shadow Elves; The Other Assassins
