This black egg seems to have a strange growth of golden crystals on it. You have examined it thoroughly, but it seems to be part of the egg.
Many legends surround the gemhog. Commoners believe these creatures to be living gemstones, pieces of fallen stars - divine messengers announcing the arrival of spring. Whatever the truth may be, when spring comes to The Keep once more, the great gemhog migration begins. Gemhogs from all over the world travel back to the place where they were born, unerringly finding their way. There, these creatures gather in great numbers. After some time, they begin to form pairs. On the night of the equinox, the crystals on their backs are all beginning to glow, forming a beautiful pattern of hundreds of blue and golden lights, as if the very stars have descended to earth. It is said that they do this to greet the spring, and many believe that should the gemhogs ever fail to gather and glow on the night of the equinox, spring will not return. Magi like to attend these gatherings, not only for the spectacle, but also because the next day, precious gemhog eggs can be dug up from the ground.
