A muddy smudgeon the map of the hills east of the Free City. Diamond Lake's inhabitants are predominantly miners and laborers, serious folk who spend most of their lives toiling below ground. When not working, the miners celebrate along the Vein, a seedy road lined with alehouses and brothels. Overall, the village is a sooty, sullen place prone to unpleasant bursts of violence and passion. But Diamond Lake holds plenty of opportunities for adventure, for the uplands surrounding the town are rife with ancient tombs and burial cairns of long dead cultures
Out in the street, a gang of rowdies screams obscenities at a crumpled halfling, kicking it as if scrmabling for a ball. Their drunken laughter echoes off shuttered windows and bolted doors
In a tower-flanked fortress across the shadowy square, filthy men with nothing to lose shout hymns to St. Cuthbert, clutching to their idealism and principles like cornered animals. Their wild-eyed chief minister smiles as he draws a cat-o-nine-tails across his bare backm awash in their adulation and the spirit of his god.
But it's just another night in Diamond Lake...
