During your travels you'll wind up in the night city of Treno, and while you're there you may want to visit Queen Stella, an enigmatic duck with an even more enigmatic request. Queen Stella lives in the northwest of Treno, near the Card Stadium, and she's interested in only one thing: collecting Stellazzio. Stellazzio are seemingly magical emblems with Zodiac signs upon them, and Queen Stella wants them all.
She's too lazy to get them herself, of course, which is where you come in. You can find Stellazzio hidden throughout Final Fantasy IX, and each time you return one to Queen Stella she'll give you a reward. The rewards get better based on how many Stellazzio you've given her.

Ophiuchus
Return to Queen Stella after collecting all twelve of the Stellazzio above and turning them in. She'll sense that one is still missing, and give you the twelve Stellazzio in the hopes of puzzling out the location of the final one.
