Age of Worms

In the Age of Worms adventure path, Diamond Lake is the starting point for the adventure and the recommended home town of the main characters whose adventures take them into Greyhawk City and then beyond.

According to the adventure path, just outside of the town is a cave known as the Whispering Cairn, a location with important ties to the Wind Dukes of Aaqa.
