The Convergence of our Ambitions?

I am a would be player of the Marvellous, and my efforts in attempting to gather together the players of this fine and thrilling game have resulted in a long layoff in Polythreme. I have been told I must return to London to track down a diamond, but I have grown to enjoy the company of my teacups and have decided to stay for a month or so. But this time apart from the pressures and pleasures of the Bazaar has given me time to think about my life since I descended into London in pursuit of my Heart's Desire.
Now, a few spoilers: The King with a Hundred Hearts was near death, and in exchange for the first city his life was saved, by replacing his heart with a diamond. This diamond has been split into countless fragments over a significant length of time, thus suggesting this diamond was originally a phenomenal size; say the size of a cow? We are also told, and indeed it has become our task, to find a diamond shard that is of such size that its presence can be felt by the King. May I venture that it could be the size of a pig, or perhaps a kitten at the very least. The King knows that this shard was taken to Spite.
The reason why I feel confident in my assumptions over the size of this diamond is that through my connections within Doubt Street, I have communicated with certain individuals who also have been tracking down a diamond. They tell me that this jewel would shame the Rajahs themselves. They tell me that their first lead on such a prize was within Spite. They call themselves 'Light Fingered', perhaps a pun on the substantial nature of the gem in question. Is there significance here, or am I merely barking up the wrong tree? (A fascinating thing to do in Polythreme I must tell you, as it is almost certain that when one barks at trees, the trees respond in kind. Wonderful place.)
