Hatching-tide (2018)

Track down the stolen eggs! was the 2018 edition of the seasonal event Hatching-tide in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event was started by accepting the sidequest by talking to Nonotta at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Old Gridania (X:10.2 Y:9.4).
==History==
Nonotta has recruited the Warrior of Light to help her with a Hatching-tide conundrum. According to Nonotta, Jihli Aliapoh has been denied her usual prophetic dream this year, and so the Dreamers have decided to organize an egg hunt around town. The festival eggs in question, however, have been stolen. She asks the Warrior of Light to help the Hatching-Tide Hunter, Leih Aliapoh, find the stolen eggs.
After gathering evidence, Leih Aliapoh has become convinced that a spriggan is responsible for the missing eggs. When she captures a suspicious spriggan, a Miqo'te conjurer appears and insists that that spriggan was innocent. She said that the spriggan was a friend of hers named Riggy, and that they had witnessed a group of spriggans committing the crime. She explained that Riggy chased the spriggans to their lair and escaped with one of the stolen treasures. Because the trail to the lair is too narrow, Miqo'te suggests sending Riggy back to the lair. Thanks to the directions via linkpearl, Riggy's raid on the spriggan lair is a resounding success.
While a spriggan was indeed responsible for taking the eggs away, Leih Aliapoh deduced that the real mastermind behind the events was none other than the Miqo'te conjurer, Jihli Aliapoh herself. Jihli happily confesses to the crime, and explains how her deceit was in fact inspired by one of her prophetic dreams. 
Jihli reveals that a few days ago, she was cleaning out a storage closet and came across an old journal that belonged to her mother, Mihli, a talented practitioner of the healing arts. In the journal it mentioned that her sister lived as a hunter in the depths of Twelveswood. According to the journal, Jihli's aunt gave birth to an only daughter, who grew up showing a special talent for the bow. After showing the evidence, Jihli then reveals that Leih is her cousin.
