Diamondites

Diamondites are some of the most feverishly creative, imaginative, and determined I have ever encountered and I have encountered very many kinds of folk ~ Ven Veil-Cloak
  The City Of Diamonds residents also known as Diamondites are a large producer of luxury products due to a large Automaton population not needing to eat, drink ,or sleep.   The City Of Diamonds current residents are mostly former slaves or their descendants. Automatons are the majority of the Diamondites with the rest being mainly Dwarves , Gnomes, Molen, Pango, and Kobolds though most other races are also there and accounted for but in smaller numbers.   The Dark Elves who practice slavery are not happy with the Diamondites success as a free settlement though out right attacks are rare as the freed and escaped slave population of the city is growing population and armaments.   The rarer Dark Elf abolitionists are conflicted as though they are proud of their success but saddened or angered that even the abolitionists Dark Elves were kicked out and not allowed back in.   Gnomes of the Crimson Underground see them more as more a curiosity than threats or allies and regularly trade with the Diamondites for their luxury goods and extreme excesses of food.   The Dwarves of the Crimson Underground have a deep and personal relationship with the Diamondites do to there continued help and kindness gives them great trade deals and alliances with the Dwarves.     Jeb lives under pub three kids and wife jerry the jaratric gnomes   Villan waroged supremeses
