Cats Eye Emerald
The Cats Eye Emerald is an exceptionally large, fist-sized gemstone unearthed within the Boulder Lode Mine in the northern Barrens. Coveted for its immense market value, it quickly became the subject of scheming outside the Venture Company's ranks.
A Fist-Sized Fortune
When laborers excavating the Venture Company's Boulder Lode Mine, situated northeast of the Sludge Fen, struck a massive emerald, word traveled fast across the savanna. Such rare, high-grade gemstones rarely stay secret for long in goblin-dominated territories. Wharfmaster Dizzywig in Ratchet caught wind of the discovery through the steady trade gossip passing between his docks and Booty Bay, immediately plotting to secure the prize for the open market in Undermine.
Company Possession
Rather than reaching common trade channels legitimately, the gemstone was kept under heavy guard by the Venture Company's management inside the mine. Overseers, Enforcers, and chief operators like Boss Copperplug vigilantly defended their valuable prize from both rival cartels and enterprising fortune-hunters seeking to claim Dizzywig's promised fifty-percent cut.
