Gem Vein:
GemVein is liquified gem forced through small vein-like conduits in the earth by great heat and pressure. It is formed when the gem is deep within the earth, and is heated into a liquid state by the core heat of the earth. While in liquid state, gem is then forced into cracks and fissures to cool. The natural shifting of the earth then forces the upward movement of deep rock holding precious GemVein. Thus, eventually, GemVein surfaces, though extremely rare.
Within all the regions, GemVein is only found upon the surface within the Volcanic Region. If you have rolled up GemVein in the encounters chart within the Volcanic region, roll on the following chart to know the GemVein found:
%Roll: GemVein:
01-70: 1 random GemVein found.
71-90: 2 random GemVein found.
91-00: 3 random GemVein found.
Notes on GemVein:
1. Roll up GemVein using the “Gems” chart in the Treasure Book.
2. Each GemVein rolled up has the potential to also be a Special Gem, just as common gems are rolled up, and are the most coveted by the Dwarves.
3. Each GemVein will be the same karat-size of the gem rolled up.
4. Each GemVein will be 5-D20 x the value of the gem rolled up.
5. Concerning Special GemVein: Roll up scale-size and value as mentioned in the “Example” above. The Special properties of the Special GemVein will be increased as follows: 1-D10 x10 % (rounded up).
