Diashijat is the name of the largest, most perfect diamond mined by dwarven kind. It is also the name of the monastery and order of dwarven monks sworn to protect the diamond. They believe the dwarven god Thor will one day communicate to them through the diamond.
The monastery is built on the edge of a cliff. The only way to access the building is to climb the million steps that are carved into the side of the cliff. The monks will allow entrance to anyone who climbs the steps as they see the climbing as a sign of devotion. The monastery itself is a rather plain building made out of granite rock. There are only four chambers in the whole complex. The monks chamber where they eat and sleep together, the chapel where worshippers of Thor gather every Thursday, the travelers chamber where the monks house weary travelers, and the diamond's chamber.
The diamond's chamber is located at the top of a flight of one hundred stairs. It is an all glass chamber where the walls, floor, and ceiling have been made entirely of glass. The glass has been painted, depicting great tales of Thor. The diamond sets in the exact center of the room on a pillow of royal blue velvet. The dimensions of the diamond are 55ft high, 79ft wide, 2 tons, and 62ct.
