Consequences

If Esther is given a genuine githyanki egg, the egg will show up in a portal at the Society of Brilliance Lodge in the Lower City in Chapter Three. The githyanki will be fully grown, going by the name Ptaris. He will reveal that he was raised by Lady Esther and a dwarf named Havkelaag, who sped up his aging. Ptaris will have murdered both of them and will become 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 will not appear during Save the Gondians.
