Members of this small, tightly-knit and secretive guild
are wallowing in money. They all have bodyguards (the
Lords limit such private forces of non-Nobles to sixteen
armed men, maximum, as they do to all Guild members
and other merchants resident in the City) and take elaborate
security precautions, hiring dwarven artisans and
powerful mages to devise traps to protect their gold and
their gems. They also hire mercenary groups and adventurers
privately, to bring them precious cargos of uncut
gems (sometimes stolen from the South) from afar, and
are closely watched by the Red Sashes and the Shadow
Thieves. At least two powerful Guild members are
agents of the Shadow Thieves.
This Guild conducts quiet but relentless vendettas
against suspected gem thieves in the City. DMs should
bear this in mind if PCs fall afoul of any Guild member.
Members of this Guild will, however, buy with no questions
asked, as well as sell, gems (cut or uncut) jewelry,
and precious metals, fine chain and wire used in their
work. They also cut, polish, and mount gems, repair or
reset jewelry, and value jewelry for other merchants.
