Token of Mishakal
Magical Item(s) -- Unique, Uncommon
This small, clear, crystalline egg is no larger than a chicken's egg. It is smooth and cool to the touch. The stars inside appear to swirl into any number of constellations. This was a gift of the goddess of healing, Mishakal, to the people of Krynn* after the Cataclysm.
This egg is a boon to women - when placed under the pillow of a woman who desires to conceive for a night, it grants the woman's desire, without the need of a partner. Once the token is used, the pregnancy progresses safely and the mother will be in good health during the span of it. Any child conceived in this way resembles their mother to the utmost degree. There is a 1/20 chance that this pregnancy will result in twins or triplets.
This egg is usually kept in the local temple to Mishakal when not in use. It is freely loaned to a woman, no matter their race, who seeks to use it. When people of an area no longer require the use of the token, it is usually transported to other temples in the region. Records of where the egg travels are usually kept within the temple, as there is no governmental need to track it's whereabouts.
Rumors hold that good dragons may seek to use this token to bolster their numbers after the Cataclysm.
*Similar tokens may be found all throughout the multiverse. For example, (3) tokens of Chauntea can be found upon Aebir-Toril, and one was also given of Atroa to the land of Oerth.
