"The Great Carbuncle" is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1835.The titular Great Carbuncle is a legendary gem of immense light that is rumored to be hidden somewhere in the White Mountains in New England. Eight adventurers are all in the area looking for the same gem and decide to camp together for the night before beginning their own adventures for the gem in morning. From there we see who finds the legendary gem and who does not.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Go Mad from the Revelation

Go Mad from the Revelation: A playing with this trope is done with the reaction to the carbuncle. The seeker is found dead from what appears to be just seeing it in person. This being a man who spent a good chunk of his life searching for it. The cynic however refuses to see it and once he does is blinded from the experience

Flat-Earth Atheist: The cynic is this given his name. Everyone else is on this quest to find a long rumored gem in the woods (which in the scale of rumored things to go searching for isn't among the most outlandish given that yes pretty gems and stones are found in nature) but he instead insists it is all lies and gossip. He intends to search all the mountains just to prove the others are wasting their time.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": "The Seeker" is only known by this name. Everyone in the whole area just seems to call him this as seeking the carbuncle is what he is known for doing.
