Dreamhold (Magic Egg)

The majority of magical items found on Krynn were created by elves or humans, but there are exceptions, such as the dwarven hammer of Kharas. The rarest are items constructed by dragons.
Dragons have little use for magical weapons. The magical items they do make cater to different needs. Dreamhold, a gigantic quartz crystal carved into the shape of a multifaceted dragon's egg about 1' long, is such an item. Gazing into the various facets of Dreamhold one can see vignettes including scenes of sculpted caverns, great eggs hatching, the first flight of dragon-young, gleaming piles of treasure, and, as an unpleasant climax, the banishment of the dragons at the end of the Second Dragon War. Those who know the proper command words can even project these moving images into any space within 30' of Dreamhold itself.
During the exile of the Queen of Darkness, what had once been an entertaining toy became an object of veneration. It was used by Takhisis to incite the evil dragons in their return to Krynn at the onset of the War of the Lance. Thus, while this bauble was once valuable only for the material of its construction, it was renamed by Takhisis as the Promise, eventually becoming a religious icon an evil dragon might die to possess or protect. Good dragons are not caught up in this fanaticism and still view the Dreamhold as a device for entertainment, not veneration. Its sale value has never been calculated, but to the right buyer, such as a desperate dragon, it could fetch a colossal price.
