Visual Description
A gemstone-bearing egg with softly furred ossicones.
Lifestyle
Cutting-edge technology is nothing new in Old City, and neither is the process to stay so current. Scientists and engineers become so caught in a race to constantly tweak and improve their product that they forget they have the power to create; there's more they can do than simply improve. At times, this hectic pace seems to pervade the lives of Old City's residents as well. Caretakers and their creatures become so caught up in their daily activities that they lose perspective and forget there's more they can do than simply go about their day as well.
Topaz eggs began appearing at such a time. By now, the Explorer's Guild had realized that these eggs could be found anywhere in Old City, so their new routines incorporated this as well. The problem is that as they excavated, they tended to branch off the old routes rather than search for new ones, and the group responsible for covering Old City would focus more on the places the other gemstones were found, rather than cover new ground. They were so mired in the routine that in the end, they forgot to look anywhere besides the usual places.
Perhaps this is why Topaz eggs were first discovered in Hephasteus's robotic transport vehicle, the one day he came to Old City to have it upgraded. This discovery helped the members realize that by immersing themselves in the end result of finding a new creature, they had forgotten to truly explore, and so they vowed not to lose perspective next time.
