"Welcome, Alys. I have a bit of a task for you," says the priest, turning to a large, oddly round backpack and carefully lifting it up. "A group of drow were killed on the outskirts of town, and when we were performing their last rites we found this laying nearby. We can only guess that they stole it from its mother, and we need you to return it to her." He hands the pack to Alys, who staggers under the sudden weight.
"You will not be alone. Just outside the city gates you will find a druid by the name of Ethediira; she will guide you through the forest."
"Wait, what is this, any... " Alys's voice trails away as she uncovers the top flap of the backpack to reveal a large, shiny egg.
"Yes, as you can see, it is a dragon egg. It must be returned as quickly as possible; otherwise, the dragon will undoubtably grow angry and come here seeking it."
Alys nods and steps out to Everlund's southern gate. There, she sees a pair of elves quietly talking to each other, a man and a woman.
