Story Notes
Lord Ambassador; Keeper of the Peace
The job implies plenty of travel abroad, but the reality is that the Lord Ambassador is most frequently in the capital conducting business.

The story of Slothjemia's most famous seafaring ship began with the capture of the Craiovian seaport that was renamed by the goblinoids "Reichstanta."

Lord High Provost: Keeper of the Condemned
A rather unsavory job, and with limited political power, the Lord High Provost monitors and maintains the prisons of the realm, and has full authority over those sentenced to perform hard labor.

Lord High Chancellor: Keeper of the Coins
One of the most powerful persons in Slothjemia is the Lord High Chancellor, charged with collecting taxes and keeping an eye on the expenditures for the realm.

The Office of the … Continue reading Lord High Chancellor: Keeper of the Coins
Know Your Neighbors: Sikilian Confederation
By anyone's estimation, the Sikilian Confederation is a blight on the world. Handily the most vile collection of loathsome rulers ever gathered in one area, Sikilia is singlehandedly responsible for everyone else thinking that Slothjemia can't be all that bad by comparison. Oh, there are times that you might fuss and fume over goblinoids running … Continue reading Know Your Neighbors: Sikilian Confederation
