GEM WORKS
The Gem Works at Village North is the workshop where the ore mined in the Great Mountains is processed for transport to the southern castles. It’s also where the gems and minerals mined are cut and polished. The higher quality and rarer stones are sold to jewelers in the castles and villages while the lower grade stones and gems are sold to traveling peddlers.
One of the finest jewelers in the entire kingdom is Kathar, the Village Elder of Village North. He designed and made the crystal vial necklace that Lord Edric gave to Princess Elizabeth for her sixteenth birthday. The vial contained a ground dragon’s eye tooth. Lord Edric found the tooth in a cave high in the mountains and believes the tooth to be that of a legendary gold dragon.
