Gem Wall

== Description ==
Gem Wall is a city on the banks of the Diamond River. It is most famous for its wealth and economic influence, particularly due to its gemstone industry. Gem Wall is governed by governor Elored Whiteheart, appointed by empress Cassida of Luria. Though, the local Jeweller's Guild traditionally wielded considerable power in the city, since the city's conquest during the Laurian Wars, many of their privileges and guarantees have been striped from them. Nonetheless, they are a significant cultural institution respected by most locals. 
=== The Artisan's Crest ===
Artisan’s Crest is the heart of Gem Wall's famous jewellery industry. It houses the city’s finest artisans and gem cutters. The streets are alive with the sound of hammers striking gold and the glittering sparkle of gemstones being meticulously polished in countless workshops. The buildings are tall, with narrow windows and ornate facades carved in intricate detail to showcase the wealth and skill of the city's artisans.
Traditionally, only recognized guild artisans were permitted to live in this district. Since the Laurian takeover however, that restriction has been lifted. Though the prices are still beyond most people.
