The Diamond by J. Robert King and Ed Greenwood is the ninth and final novella in the Double Diamond Triangle Saga series.

An epic quest is over... or ist it? Piergeiron, Open Lord of Waterdeep, is dead ... or is he? The search for the abductors of his bride Eidola has finally drawn to a close ... or has it? As the paladins and mercenaries gather in Waterdeep for a solemn ceremony, the last act of this epic adventure is played out against a background of treachery and deceit. And the last surprise will be the greatest of all. "The Diamond" brings to an end the nine-book serial novel published by TSR and set in the exciting world of the "Forgotten Realms." Be sure to look for the other parts in your local bookstore.

Notes[]

  1. The Abduction, p.6 states that the wedding of Piergeiron the Paladinson and Eidola took place in the Year of the Haunting, 1377 DR. However, that date is implausible. Khelben Arunsun died in 1374 DR as depicted in Blackstaff (novel). Furthermore, Aleena Paladinstar was stated to be gone from Waterdeep by 1372 DR, planeswalking (City of Splendors: Waterdeep). On the other hand, the events of the Descent to Undermountain took place in 1370 DR, during which Aleena was actively banned from adventuring and any danger by her father. In the events of The Paladins, as well as the finale of the DDTS, Aleena took a central role, no longer bound by her father's rules. She later, with all the experience she received from battling the Unseen and hordes of Tanar'ri, felt confident enough to use her magic to traverse the planes. This places DDTS events likely in 1371 DR. This also does not conflict with appearances by Artemis Entreri, and the Neshers.
