[RPG] Is there lore that reveals where the first seed from the Wizard of Wines winery went

curse-of-strahddnd-5elorepublished-adventures

In Curse of Strahd,

there is a place called the Wizard of Wines that had three magical gemstones (called "seeds") which gave the winery's grapes the ability to grow. According to the campaign book (pg. 173), the second seed was taken by Baba Lysaga (who still possesses it) and the third seed was taken by evil druids and implanted in the tree blight Wintersplinter to power it.

I can't find any indication of what happened to the first seed beyond this info:

Ten years ago, one of the vineyard's magic gems was dug up and stolen, and as a result, the winery stopped producing its best vintage, the champagne. No one knows what happened to the gem.

Is there any indication from another source of what happened to the seed? Or is it just an open quest hook for DMs?

Best Answer

There is no official lore

You can see from this tweet exchange by Chris Perkins, the Lead Designer for CoS:

Ben Latham @SassyWyvern
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Where is the third magic gem that was at the Winery in CoS? Can't find it anywhere in the book. Am I just blind

Christopher Perkins @ChrisPerkinsDnD
You're not blind. Its whereabouts is not revealed in #CurseofStrahd (deliberately).

As there is intentionally no information on the where the third seed is or what happened to it, it is up to the DM to decide what happened to the third seed, as he confirms in this followup tweet:

Josh Watson @josh_watson
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Is it deliberate in that you want us DMs to invent an explanation, or because it might show up in a later publication

Christopher Perkins @ChrisPerkinsDnD
DMs should feel free to make the search for the lost gem part of their campaigns.
