The Diamond Quarter is the wealthiest and most influential district in Orzammar, sitting at the highest level of the vast tiered city. It houses many important buildings, such as the Shaperate, the Assembly, and the Orzammar Royal Palace, the home of the ruling House Aeducan. The nobles and other distinguished members of dwarven society live and mingle here and undesirables are kept out, even merchants from other castes or districts in the city. At certain times permits may be auctioned off to merchants (or Noble Hunters) to peddle their wares in the Diamond Quarter, but only under unusual circumstances such as feasts or celebrations.
