Roke Island is the place where wizardry is taught in the book series The Earthsea Cycle.

"Ogion knelt down and built the fire on the hearth and lit it, for the house was cold. Then still kneeling he said in his quiet voice, 'Ged, my young falcon, you are not bound to me or to my service. You did not come to me, but I to you. You are very young to make this choice, but I cannot make it for you. If you wish, I will send you to Roke Island, where all high arts are taught. Any craft you undertake to learn you will learn, for your power is great. Greater even than your pride, I hope. I would keep you here with me, for what I have is what you lack, but I will not keep you against your will. Now choose between Re Albi and Roke.'" - Wizard of Earthsea.

About Heimurin Eggs

This egg isn't an egg at all; it's a snowglobe. It rests on top of a bit of snow mixed with toxic goo that's presumably from the Science and Research Center in Ark City, which will eventually become the snail that grows beneath it.

About the Heimurin Creature

Heimurins exclusively live in the wet snow. They cannot live outside of snow. In the summer months, this means that they retreat to the mountain peaks of Ark that stay snow-covered year-round. In the winter months, however, they love coming to snowy Ark City and spreading their Christmas cheer.

Heimurin snowglobes each show a different and unique holiday scene. Some Arkians shop for months on end to find the perfect "Heimurin Scene" that showcases and represents their personality. Some Heimurins have even become collector's items. If yours happens to be a collector's item, spoil them all you want and, most of all, keep them cold (refrigerated) and in a bed of snow crystals.
