The Black Market is: OPEN

I think at some point it corresponded with the full moon? Not sure if that’s still the case but if it is, it’ll appear July 26th iirc

It use to be on the Full Moon but he got in trouble for illegal potions so now it's roughly sometime near the full moon, and not every month.

Arkenian Alipaca

A horn has pierced though the shell of this egg.

Spoiler

Alipaca hatchlings spend most of their days lazing about in the fields, grazing on the various plants. They love to play and will try to play with any creature nearby. It is not uncommon to see a little hatchling bounding after a butterfly into a field of tall grass, so it is always a good idea to keep an eye on them as they are easy to lose sight of. They have no sense of danger and will try to engage with dragons or any other dangerous creature if given the chance. As they age however, they begin to calm down, becoming less playful and will start becoming more weary of the creatures they surround themselves with. If kept without a group, the alipaca will spend most of its time following after its magi.

Spoiler

Alipacas originate from Tetzcotal where they were originally raised as working companions, used to help build the various temples. These days however, alipacas can be found most everywhere as many magis have taken to keeping them. alipacas are well-loved creatures around the keep as they have a calming energy about them. When a magi is close to an alipaca, they feel calm, at peace with the world and it is not uncommon to find students hanging around their paddocks during exam time. Popular with magis who love to knit or crochet, their wool is perfect for making various garments that are highly sought after as the clothing made from their fiber is extremely soft, light weight, fire resistant, and very warm. Many magis prefer to use clothing made from alipaca wool when traveling to the Arkene region. While not as strong as being around an alipaca, the clothing made from the wool can produce the same calming sensation.

Dark Temple Giraffe

This dark colored egg has a golden band wrapped around it.

Spoiler

Temple Giraffe hatchlings are a bundle of energy from the moment they hatch, only stopping to eat or sleep. Like the adults, hatchlings are social creatures and enjoy playing with other temple giraffes or their magi. As they grow, they quickly learn to use their magic, often disappearing in a shimmery haze if they are ever frightened. Out in the wild, hatchlings will never leave sight of their herd and more often than not, they will be found in the middle surrounded by adults, all of which will protect them fiercely, so it is unwise to ever try and approach a hatchling in the wild.

Spoiler

Reaching adulthood, temple giraffes calm down considerably, though they sometimes can be quite playful, but you will most often find them grazing and lazing about with other temple giraffes. They make for good traveling companions and some magis prefer them to meldops when crossing the Etain Desert. In the wild, temple giraffes are often skittish around magis and will disappear at the sight of one. This makes finding them fairly difficult unless you know what you are looking for. Despite this, they have been known to help lost travelers find their way in the desert and on very rare occasions, they may even gift the magi with an egg.

Spoiler

Towering over the grasslands surrounding the Etain Desert, the temple giraffes are easily recognizable from other types of giraffes by the golden band that adorns their long graceful neck. They are highly social creatures, traveling in small, but close-knit herds of up to ten or twenty. Because of their size and power, not many creatures will ever try to harm them. If threatened, they are able to use the heat of their surroundings to their advantage by creating a heat shield that will surround them. This shield, from the outside, looks like nothing more than a shimmering haze that all but makes them vanish from view, but if someone or something should happen to touch this shield, they will come away with severe burns, discouraging predators. Sometimes a temple giraffe is born with a dark coloration. No one is quite sure as to why this is, but these giraffes tend to be less sociable, preferring to be left alone. Dark giraffes are more aggressive than their sandy colored counterparts; standing and fighting rather than fleeing. If pushed too far, they are able to ignite the air, creating a great wall of flames that surrounds them.
