Golden Eggs. Despite the great danger involved, many of the realm's bravest and most ambitious hunters seek out the basilisk to prove themselves against its legend. Most fail, their hubris immortalized in stone in countless swamps and forests. A lucky few succeed against all odds and return, always with a tale and, in some rare cases, with eggs. Basilisk eggs are a rare treasure, invaluable both for the reagents they provide and because basilisks are smart enough to train. Tended from a young age, basilisks can be molded into fierce protectors, provided the trainer makes careful use of blinders.
