These six eggs, when combined together, create a great power, so great, that it was decreed that the six eggs be seperated and hidden from the world. The job was done so well, that the majority of people have forgotten about the Dofus, for awhile at least.
Now the eggs have been stolen. For those who play Dofus, you will quest to find those colored eggs.
