Now to whet the appetite of other readers.

Very occasionally adventurers, always halflings it appears, enter the land from the south with diamonds for sale. They do not tell where the diamonds come from, as naturally they wish to keep their source confidential. This is well known by the elves, humans and dwarves of Invar Arvel who will often come to town to find out if there have been any more diamonds brought in.

Now we all know that the saying is that big things sometimes come in small parcels. But none of you has any idea where the diamonds come from. But diamonds often feature in the oldest legends of the time when Gnomes and Halflings worked together. It is damned obvious to all but the most gullible that there is a little more to this than meets the eye.

Rumours of greedy people trying to find out about the diamonds usually end with a phrase something like "and then they found his body ...". However that has never stopped the occasional band of adventurers attempting to follow the adventurers when they leave. None of these bands of keen young adventurers has ever returned to show any diamonds for their trouble. In fact ... none has ever returned with diamonds, or even just their health ... or alive for that matter, ... or at all.
