Completion of this quest unlocks an increase to [[Mounts#Increase Mount Speed|mount speed]] in [[The Ruby Sea]].

*Speak with [[Lyse]].

*Speak with [[Lyse]].

==Journal==
*Your efforts to wreak havoc on the [[Isle of Zekki]] and draw the [[Kojin of the Red|Red Kojin]] away from their imperial masters have exceeded all expectations. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond your knowing, two of the sacred treasures stored in the isle's vault “reacted” to the presence of the [[Yasakani-no-Magatama]], summoning forth from the aether the great kami [[Susano]] -- a [[primal]] by another name. Though you and your comrades initially fled to safety, it is plain that you cannot simply leave the kami be, and so [[Alisaie]] bids you return to the vault and do what you do best.

*Before the vault door, you steel yourself for the impending confrontation. How fortunate that you had the wisdom and foresight to invite several of your fellow adventurers on this journey to the [[Far East]], and how kind they were to agree to help you torment the Red Kojin, for no single warrior, no matter how blessed or powerful, could ever hope to slay a primal on her own, despite what some wandering minstrels would have you believe.<br/>※[[The Pool of Tribute]] can be accessed via the [[Duty Finder]].

*The great kami is no more, and once again you part ways with your stalwart adventurer comrades, ever close at hand yet all too often forgotten. Alisaie and [[Lyse]] should not be hard to find -- you need only listen for the sounds of battle.

*You find your comrades still locked in combat with the Kojin of the Red. Alas, what the beastmen lack in individual strength they make up for in numbers. For each that falls, three emerge to fill the gap. Before you can join the fray, however, Alisaie steps forward, resolved to provide you and Lyse with an opening in which to escape. Grudgingly, you accept her invitation and depart for [[Isari]], where it would seem the [[The Confederacy|Confederacy]] have already begun their attack.

*No sooner have you reached the beach south of Isari than Lyse declares her intention to return to the Isle of Zekki and help Alisaie. Though it was she who encouraged you to leave your young friend in the first place, the thought of losing another ally is more than she can bear... as is the shock of hearing Alisaie's voice coming from right behind her. Lyse whirls around and embraces the bemused girl, whose protests fall on deaf ears. Once all present have regained their composure, you press on to Isari.

*Upon arriving in the village, you find no sign of the imperials, nor of any significant struggle. Did the Confederacy keep their end of the bargain, or did Yotsuyu and her men simply move on to the next settlement?

==Journal==
*While uncertain for a time, [[Ivaurault]] is now convinced that it was a winged eyeball that he encountered at the rocky area to the west. There may well be another victim out there, waiting to be discovered. The three friends would leave the task of investigating to the expert -- you.

*As the three friends had feared, there was indeed another victim. The authorities must be informed. Bear your [[Ravaged Corpse|grisly find]] back to [[Fallgourd Float]], and show it to [[Aethelmaer]].

*A cursory examination of the body turns up [[Lily Button|a button]] engraved with a lily motif. A similar object had been discovered upon an earlier victim. Could this be a clue to solving the mysterious deaths?

Completion of this quest unlocks an increase to [[Mounts#Increase Mount Speed|mount speed]] in [[The Azim Steppe]].

==Steps==
*Speak with the Mol warriors. 0/4

*Speak with [[Temulun]].

*Speak with [[Cirina]].

*Race to the ovoo.

*Claim the ovoo for the Mol.

*Defeat the imperial forces.

*Defend the [[Stellar Chuluu]].

*Speak with [[Hien]].

==Journal==
*The ceremonial battle for rulership over the [[Azim Steppe|Steppe]], or [[The Naadam|Naadam]], will commence with the rising of the sun, when the Gharl scatter the sacred soil, giving rise to a great ovoo. All will then converge upon this light, and the tribe which claims it will carry the day. Though you and your comrades are ready, [[Temulun Khatun]] tells you that some of the Mol warriors are not. Young and inexperienced in the ways of war, they would benefit from some encouragement from a veteran such as you.

*Not all were made for war, and many of the Mol would sooner lay down their arms and tend to their herds. Nevertheless, their eyes burn with renewed purpose after you walk among them dispensing words of wisdom. Temulun Khatun will surely be pleased.

*On the eve of the Naadam, the great and wise leader of the Mol addresses you and your comrades one final time, reminding you of the simple truth that violence lies at the heart of every [[Xaela]] -- of every warrior of the Steppe. Delight not in such things, but do not deny them. Face yourself and your enemies without fear, and may the gods guide you to victory.

*You and your comrades race across the Steppe to meet the other tribes in battle, and soon the soil of one and all is awash with Xaela blood. Yet somehow, from that crimson tempest emerges a victor. As the ovoo evaporates into motes of fading light, you stand a khagan crowned.

*There is no time to celebrate the Mol's triumph in the Naadam, for [[Grynewaht]] suddenly appears at the head of an imperial squadron, and declares his intention to kill you once and for all. Yet in coming a moment too late, he faces a Steppe united. With the aid of the Oronir and the Dotharl, you slay the invaders and send Grynewaht on his way once more. But this is only the beginning of your alliance, for [[Hien]] succeeds in convincing the two tribes to travel south with him and fight for [[Doma]]'s liberation.

*Two battles won in a single day is reason to rejoice under any circumstances, but these carry special significance. By your deeds are Lord Hien and the [[Doman Liberation Front]] one step closer to freeing their home from the yoke of imperial oppression.

==Solo Duty Walkthrough==
*'''First phase''': Advance forward on your mount until you encounter enemies, and then dismount. Dispatch the enemy that targets you and any others until [[Gosetsu]] volunteers to stay behind. Advance forward again with the rest of your allies, and repeat with [[Lyse]] staying this time. Advance forward again and defeat enemies, and finally attempt to capture the ovoo until you are stopped.

*'''Second phase''': You must defeat [[Magnai]] and any lesser soldiers that target you. At the same time, you must defend the ovoo from his tribe until he is defeated. Perform any quick attack or skill on enemies attempting to capture the ovoo and they will stop, but target you. [[Sadu]] will eventually join the fight, and you must defeat her as well while defending the ovoo against her tribe. Sadu will eventually begin casting a skill causing two [[Stellar Chuluus]] to appear. Eliminate both quickly or face a wipe.

*'''Third phase''': Focus on lowering [[Grynewaht]]'s health until Sadu performs her special skill. Defend the Stellar Chuluus from the imperial forces to lessen their damage, and Sadu will end the duty.

==Notes==
Completion of this quest unlocks an increase to [[Mounts#Increase Mount Speed|mount speed]] in [[The Fringes]].

==Steps==
*Follow [[Vajra]].

*Attune to the [[aetheryte]] at [[Djanan Qhat]].

*Speak with [[Alisaie]].

*Use the [[Duty Finder]] to confront [[Sri Lakshmi]] in [[Emanation]].

*Speak with [[Lyse]].

==Journal==
*Upon witnessing her daughter's death at the hands of [[Fordola]] and her Skulls, the [[Qalyana]] broodmother cried out to the heavens in despair... and a primal answered. [[Sri Lakshmi]], patron deity of the [[Ananta]], came forth from the aether, and the imperials were put to flight. Alas, the tale did not end there, for now the Qalyana demand that the [[Vira]] come and pay tribute to the goddess. And so it falls to you and your comrades to journey unto the Qalyana stronghold of [[Djanan Qhat]], where Sri Lakshmi now holds court.

*[[Vajra]] leads you to the edge of the Qalyana settlement and tells you of the [[aetheryte]] within, which will deliver you to the heart of Djanan Qhat. However, given what they have heard of the [[primal]]'s reclusive behavior, your comrades have expressed reservations. Must all primals be slain? Are they truly beyond reason?

*Fortunately, as is often the case, simply attuning with the aetheryte is enough to grant you and your comrades access to the inner sanctum. Caution is the order of the day, and so you will refrain from a direct assault and instead attempt to gain a better understanding of the situation surreptitiously.

*You look on in silence as Sri Lakshmi impassively explains to the distraught Qalyana broodmother that while her daughter's flesh has been restored to life, her soul is forever lost. Watching the forlorn spectacle, you are reminded once more of [[Ga Bu]], the [[kobold]] boy whom you could not save, and of the cycle of misery perpetuated by the primals. But the anger you feel is naught to that of [[Alisaie]], who, forsaking all concealment, proceeds to loudly decry Sri Lakshmi for her empty promises, before begging the Qalyana to see her for the false god she is. Alas, the broodmother will not listen, and the primal soon takes umbrage. With a wave of her hand, she sends orbs of energy towards you as a warning. Leave her lands and her dreamers be.

*Twice has Alisaie watched helplessly as those consumed by tragedy have turned to primals for succor. Yet though she could do no more for the broodmother than she could for Ga Bu, she had to try... did she not? Either way, her failure has left you with no recourse but to meet the primal in single combat -- ably abetted by the goodly adventurers who you had the wisdom and foresight to summon to Djanan Qhat in anticipation of this outcome. Sri Lakshmi must be slain.<br/>※[[Emanation]] can be accessed via the [[Duty Finder]].

*With a flash of light, the Lady of Bliss departs, and with her whatever succor her dreamers may have enjoyed. Naught remains to keep you here...

*As you tell [[Lyse]] of the primal's passing, the Qalyana broodmother appears, bereft at the death of her god. Though Lyse tries to reason with the grieving mother, she condemns you and your actions, demanding at last that you leave her to mourn. And so you do.

*Though the Vira will not soon forget your deeds this day, neither will the Qalyana. Was there another way you could have resolved the situation? Perhaps... but you will never know.

==Journal==
*[[Lyse]], having but recently assumed leadership of the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance]], continues to struggle with the weight of her new responsibilities. Seeing this, [[Raubahn]] invites the two of you to accompany him to [[Coldhearth]], a poor village of little consequence, which he reveals to be his childhood home. There he tells you of his life before the imperial occupation, when a soldier sent away from the front to mend first heard the words of a revolutionary firebrand...

*Adrift in a memory of decades past, you observe Lyse's father deliver a speech to a crowd of cheering [[Ala Mhigo|Ala Mhigans]] -- among them, Raubahn Aldynn and [[Ilberd Feare]], then dear friends. Afterwards, the revolutionary meets with Raubahn and counsels him to remember that freedom should not be an end in of itself, for it is but a chance to build something better... and the work is never finished.

*"Liberty or Death," Raubahn repeats; the creed of [[Curtis Hext]] and his comrades. Solemnly, he asks Lyse if she will swear by these words, and she does so -- though she is quick to add that the liberty she craves must be for every son and daughter of Ala Mhigo, even those who reject the cause. The nation they build must serve as a home for them all, she insists, and Raubahn can only agree.

*The Flame General explains that he could see Lyse wasn't herself, and that he brought her to Coldhearth to remind her why she chose the path she now walks. Satisfied that she has found her resolve once more, he grants you leave to return without him, for he would remain awhile longer...

*Lyse knows well the feeling of returning home after a long absence, and is more than willing to leave General Aldynn alone with his thoughts. Together you depart Coldhearth and journey north.

*Lyse pulls you aside for a moment, sensing that you are being watched. She suggests that you split up and each head towards [[Radiata]], while keeping your eyes peeled for suspicious characters.

*The gang of Ala Mhigan youths observing you and Lyse from a distance panic at your approach, snatching up weapons and charging, apparently intent on killing or subduing you. It is the last mistake they will ever make.

*You find Lyse standing over the corpses of several young men not unlike the ones you were forced to kill. With a start, she recognizes them from Radiata, and concludes that they must have marked you as insurgents when you were searching for [[Stark Woad]]. Fearing for [[Alphinaud]] and [[Alisaie]]'s safety, she sprints off towards the nearby settlement as fast as her legs will carry her.

*In Radiata, [[M'naago]] assures you that the twins are in no danger, and Alphinaud soon arrives with Stark Woad, putting your fears conclusively to rest. The [[Eorzean Alliance|Alliance]] agent explains that many youths who have only ever known the occupation are unwilling to place their faith in the Resistance, and would sooner attempt to curry favor with the imperials by capturing or killing enemies of the [[Garlean Empire|Empire]]. Alas, until you march on Ala Mhigo and defeat [[Zenos]] once and for all, such desperate individuals will remain a threat to you and yours.

==Journal==
*The [[Eorzean Alliance|Alliance]] and the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance|Resistance]] cannot suffer a repeat of the slaughter at [[Specula Imperatoris]]. As such, they will not march upon [[Castrum Abania]] until they can be certain the fortress's main cannon will not be brought to bear against them. Though the weapon was apparently disabled by a single [[Estinien|unknown assailant]], it is only a matter of time before it is restored to operational status. With the aid of an Alliance contact in [[Radiata]], you and your comrades have devised a plan to infiltrate the castrum and seize control of the cannon's fire control center, after which you will signal the Allied forces to advance. But before you can do that, you must first deal with the patrols between you and the castrum.

*You dispatch the imperial patrol quickly and brutally, leaving nothing to chance. But it is only the first. Another is approaching.

*The second patrol goes as quietly as its predecessor. Though [[Alphinaud]] and [[Alisaie]] lack your skill and finesse, it seems unlikely that their own targets proved any more troublesome...

*As expected, Alphinaud and Alisaie are fine, as is Stark Woad, your contact. Your point of entry to Castrum Abania is not far, but a final patrol must be dealt with before you can proceed.

*Once more you ambush and kill the unsuspecting imperial soldiers, removing the last obstacle between the entrance to the ventilation system and your comrades. Nevertheless, one can never be too careful; it would be prudent to stand watch for a time.

*No more patrols are forthcoming, and so you signal your comrades to advance. Your plan, as Alphinaud reminds you, will be to split into two parties -- one comprising Alphinaud and Alisaie, and the other, you and the irrepressible adventurers who you had the wisdom... et cetera and so on. Each will attempt to create a diversion inside the castrum, thereby allowing [[Lyse]] and her unit of Resistance fighters to proceed relatively unhindered to the fire control center. Weapons research is to be your destination, and one can only imagine what manner of foes await you there...<br/>※Castrum Abania can be accessed via the [[Duty Finder]].

*Though the monstrosities within weapons research are as fearsome as they are horrific, it is they who should rightly be afraid. Shortly after delivering your verdict on another few billion [[gil]] of [[Garlean Empire|Garlean]] innovation, you are rejoined by Alphinaud and Alisaie, and together you make haste to the fire control center to rendezvous with Lyse and seize control of the cannon.

*At last you come face–to–face with the officer responsible for the destruction of Specula Imperatoris: [[Fordola rem Lupis]]. She makes no apologies for her actions and declares that all was in service to her countrymen -- to secure a place for them within imperial society. Enraged, Lyse charges with murder in her eyes, only to find that her opponent possesses supernatural strength and agility. After effortlessly evading her attacks and cutting down Alisaie with a single stroke, Fordola dives through the window and makes her escape, but not before extending you and your comrades an invitation to the “royal hunt” on behalf of [[Zenos yae Galvus]].

*With nothing to fear from the fortress's dormant cannon, Allied forces march on Castrum Abania and seize control of it in short order. Save for Alisaie's injuries -- which you are assured will heal in time -- the operation has gone exactly to plan. And yet Lyse stands apart, quiet and distant...

*In order to gain entry to the [[Ala Mhigan Quarter]] and infiltrate the imperial research facility where [[Krile]] is being held, you and your comrades will need to find a way to circumvent the towering walls and heavy gates which surround it. Fortunately, [[Wiscar]] -- a youth from [[Ala Gannha]] whom you inspired to join the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance|Resistance]] -- has surmised the existence of a tunnel connecting [[Loch Seld]] and a well within the district. The entrance to the well is secured by lock and key, but since you now have said key in your possession, you need only locate the tunnel.

The [[Archons|Archon]] duly explains that after listening to [[Alisaie]]'s tale of her defeat at [[Fordola]]'s hands, he was inspired to fashion a new and improved aetheric siphon, which he believes will enable you to deprive the Skulls commander of her preternatural prescience. Though Urianger seems unwilling to disclose the device's precise function, you receive it gratefully, conscious that you may have need of it during the coming mission.

*Sure enough, in the depths of Loch Seld, you and your comrades locate a tunnel leading east towards the Ala Mhigan Quarter. For Thancred's sake, you pray the tunnel remains wide enough for you to pass through.

*As predicted, the tunnel connects to a well within the walls of the residential district, sealed long ago by the [[King Theodoric I|King of Ruin]] and seemingly forgotten. Before continuing, you review your plan to let the Resistance in, and rescue Krile. Stealth is, of course, the preferred approach, but once the gates are open, it will be chaos in the streets...

*The three of you pick your way through the Ala Mhigan Quarter and come at last to the great western gates. With a pull of a lever, the gates swing open, and the Resistance fighters, led by [[Alphinaud]], pour through. As they engage the imperials, you and your fellow [[Scions]] head for the research facility where Krile is being held.

*As expected, Fordola is waiting to greet you, along with a squadron of imperial soldiers. Thankfully, however, you have come prepared. Activating Urianger's device, you watch the Skulls commander reel about in confusion, and it soon becomes clear that she can no longer anticipate your attacks. Though she is yet a fearsome opponent, you are the Warrior of Light, and after a vicious battle, you are able to subdue her and secure the facility. To your relief, you find Krile alive, albeit weak from her ordeal, and together you make ready to leave, with Fordola as your prisoner. However, the beaten officer belittles your victory, speaking of the terrible powers [[Zenos]] commands and the futility of your sacrifices. For an instant, it seems as though [[Lyse]] will succumb to her anger and execute her defenseless foe, but in the end she relents, declaring that Fordola will live long enough to see a free [[Ala Mhigo]].

*Alphinaud is overjoyed. Krile is alive, and the Ala Mhigan District is in the hands of the Resistance. But what of Fordola's claims regarding Zenos's newfound powers? You can but hope that you will learn more before the hour of your inevitable confrontation.

==Solo Duty Walkthrough==
*'''Part 1''': Stay hidden while following [[Thancred]]. At the end, you need to examine a gate winch and proceed. Then, follow your allies while defeating imperial soldiers along the way.

*'''Part 2''': You will have a new skill that will pop up periodically called ''Aetheric Siphon''. This disables [[Fordola]]'s invincibility for a period of time. Use it only when Fordola has successfully created her barrier (noted by an icon change when you target her), otherwise it will be wasted. Lower her health, and eventually [[Lyse]] will help you fight her. At this point, it is recommended to stay near the center of the area so you have enough time to run for dodging AoEs. Continue fighting and be ready to use Aetheric Siphon again when Lyse calls out to you as soon as Fordola's HP reaches below 50%. She will use Final Heaven on Fordola, and the duty will end.
