Item from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
Three petrified dragon eggs — black, green, and cream-gold — given to Daenerys Targaryen as a wedding gift, believed to be fossils until she walked into fire and hatched the first dragons the world had seen in over a century.
The dragon eggs are the most consequential wedding gift in the history of the world. Illyrio Mopatis presented them to Daenerys as curiosities — petrified relics from the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai, beautiful but supposedly inert. They were not inert. Whether it was blood magic, Targaryen bloodline, or something else entirely, Daenerys placed them in Khal Drogo's funeral pyre and walked into the flames, emerging with three living dragons — Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion — the first born in over 150 years. That single act reintroduced dragons to a world that had spent generations pretending it didn't need them, and every consequence of their existence — the liberation of Slaver's Bay, the fall of the Wall, the burning of King's Landing — flows from three eggs and a woman brave or mad enough to burn for them.
Three eggs the size of a man's head, each a different color — one black as midnight with scarlet ripples, one deep green with bronze flecks, one pale cream with swirls of gold. The shells are covered in tiny scales that shimmer in firelight. They feel warm to Daenerys's touch, though everyone else finds them cold as stone.
