If Esther is given a genuine githyanki egg, the egg shows up in a portal at the [[Society of Brilliance Lodge]] in the [[Lower City]] in [[Act Three]]. The githyanki is now fully grown, going by the name [[Ptaris]]. He reveals that he was raised by Lady Esther and a dwarf named [[Havkelaag]], who sped up his aging. Ptaris murdered both of them (as well as other Society of Brilliance members such as Omeluum) and becomes aggressive to the party if failed to be convinced that the Ptarian code he was raised by was wrong. Additionally, if the egg is given to Esther, the quest [[Retrieve Omeluum]] does not appear during [[Save the Gondians]]. | If Esther is given a genuine githyanki egg, the egg shows up in a portal at the [[Society of Brilliance Lodge]] in the [[Lower City]] in [[Act Three]].
