==Walkthrough==
The North American and European datacenters primarily use [[Party Finder]] to challenge (Extreme) content. Using Duty Finder to match with random players is not recommended and will be more difficult than pre-forming a party. Note that despite the quest text, players only need to complete the trial using any means, not necessarily with Duty Finder matchmaking, to complete the quest. For an easy completion, it is recommended that players use Party Finder and form an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). Players who wish to complete this duty with level sync enabled should also form a pre-made party, which also enables the use of Minimum Item Level and Silence Echo settings for an additional challenge.

==Steps==
*Present the [[Weeping Eye of the Manukmanai]] to [[Sonu Vanu]] in [[the Sea of Clouds]].
*Speak with [[Cid]].
*Attune to the aetheryte at [[the Whale's Crown]].
*Confront [[Bismarck]] in [[the Limitless Blue (Extreme)]].
*Speak with Sonu Vanu.
*Speak with [[Unukalhai]] in [[the Rising Stones]].

==Journal==
* Unukalhai would have you face the Lord of the Mists once more.

* To prevent the awakening of the Warring Triad, Bismarck must be cast down once more, and Unukalhai declares that you shall slay him using the same method as before. The boy then furnishes you with a large gemstone and bids you show it to Chief Sonu of the Zundu, in case he is feeling reluctant to give you all that you require.

* Chief Sonu believes the gemstone in your possession is a relic of great power. If smashed against a Vundu aetheryte nestled in the Whale's Crown, it will render Bismarck vulnerable... Yet, upon further reflection, you recall no mention of the white whale's newfound invulnerability prior to this. That said, if the primal does have some form of protection, it will need to be circumvented before he can be defeated. Inform Cid of your new task.

* Cid seems poised to explain in detail how Chief Sonu's request makes no sense whatsoever. However, he instead hazards that it might bring you good luck.

* With all your might, you smash the gemstone against the aetheryte...and nothing much happens. Out of habit, you attune with the aetheryte...and again, nothing much happens. If your actions had any meaning, it remains to be seen. In any case, Cid is waiting.
** ※The Limitless Blue (Extreme) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.

* The floating isles and their inhabitants need no longer fear a grisly end in the White's belly, as the ravenous flying whale has once more been returned to the aether. Chief Sonu should be glad to hear of your latest triumph.

* Chief Sonu reveals that in returning to Ok' Zundu with the Weeping Eye of the Manukmanai, you were fulfilling an ancient prophecy. Legend has it that a Vanu elder once cast the eyes into the Sea of Clouds, proclaiming that they would return to the Vanu in the possession of a hero, who would then deliver them from destruction. And so, your battle with the White shall be preserved and passed down from generation to generation, doubtless growing greater with each telling...

* Your victory was written in the aether, and Unukalhai read it long before you returned. Yet you know all too well not to rejoice overmuch in the accomplishment, for such threats are wont to return again and again.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Unukalhai:''' If we are to prevent the awakening of the Warring Triad, then Bismarck must be cast down once more.
'''Unukalhai:''' I am aware of the rather unorthodox method you employed to lure out and slay the white whale before, and had a mind to follow established precedent.
'''Unukalhai:''' That said, islands are not easy to come by...
'''Unukalhai:''' I should hope it is not necessary, but you may as well show this gemstone to Chief Sonu. He will know it as the Weeping Eye of the Manukmanai, and it will ensure that he is completely committed to our cause.
'''Unukalhai:''' Oh, and before you ask, I have already informed Master Garlond of our plans. He is currently en route to the Blue Window.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Unukalhai:''' Safe journey to you, [Forename].

===Presenting the Weeping Eye of the Manukmanai to Sonu Vanu in the Sea of Clouds===
'''Sonu Vanu:''' The tramontane returns, and with it the White. So too comes the great netherling warrior...
'''''<Hand Over Weeping Eye of the Manukamani>'''''
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Like double rainbows in the mists, Sonu knows not what to make of this! An eye in the hands of a netherling!
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Storm clouds of the Vundu are no match for the eye's might! Smash it against the aetheryte in the Whale's Crown and He will be vulnerable once more!
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Bind Him with chains of steel and drive Him from cloud sea! Return zephyr winds and sunlight to our lands!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Sonu Vanu:''' As sun rises and falls and returns, {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} who bears an eye cannot be denied!

===Speaking with Cid===
'''Cid:''' There you are, [Forename]. The ''Enterprise Excelsior'' is ready to depart whenever you are.
'''Cid:''' ...Say again? Chief Sonu wants you to smash some gemstone against an aetheryte to dispel a barrier of storm clouds? I, uh...I don't even know where to begin...
'''Cid:''' Bah, the hells with it. Maybe it'll bring us good luck. I'll rendezvous with you there.
'''(optional)'''
'''Cid:''' You know, you could just lie and say you did it.
...What? <sigh> Fine, we'll do it the hard way.

===Attuning to the aetheryte at the Whale's Crown===
'''''<Attuning to Vundu Aetheryte>'''''
'''System:''' After a pause, you smash the gemstone against the aetheryte. Nothing much happens. Out of habit, you attune with the aetheryte...and once more, nothing much happens.

===Confronting Bismarck in the Limitless Blue (Extreme)===
====Duty Dialogue====
'''Cid:''' Get ready, everyone! Here it comes!
'''Cid:''' Use the field generator!
If the island goes, so do you!
'''Cid:''' What in the seven hells was that!?
On your guard!
'''Cid:''' I'm detecting a huge increase in—
Oh gods, brace yourselves!
'''Cid:''' Dammit! We've lost the generator!

===Speaking with Sonu Vanu===
'''Sonu Vanu:''' As storm clouds give way to sunlight, so hope returns to Zundu, and clarity of vision to Sonu.
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Sonu sees netherling for who {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} truly is. Netherling is bearer foretold.
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Once, long ago, in the midst of a great battle with a tribe from the nethers, a horrid, wicked demon comes to feast on the bodies of the fallen.
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Manukmanai, we name him! Manukmanai, we decry him! For generations he hunts the Vanu Vanu, but this day, we say no more!
'''Sonu Vanu:''' Greatest of our heroes climbs atop the beast's back, and with blades black as midnight, {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} rips his eyes from his head, and casts them into cloud sea!
'''Sonu Vanu:''' "In hour of great need, eyes return to the Vanu. Look to their bearer for salvation.“ So she declares, so it comes to pass! And now, netherling's deeds we remember forevermore!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Sonu Vanu:''' May Zephyr winds ever be at your back and sunshine ever warm your brow, O Chosen of the Manukmanai!

===Speaking with Unukalhai in the Rising Stones (Cutscene)===
'''Unukalhai:''' You needn't say a word. The aetheric readings left no doubt: the Lord of the Mists is no more.

====If Warrior of Light has not completed Thok around the Clock====
'''Unukalhai:''' For the time being at least. After all, such beings have a rather troublesome tendency to return.
'''Unukalhai:''' Let us turn our attention to the Lord of the Hive, who in quiet meditation awaits your coming...

====If Warrior of Light has completed Thok around the Clock====
'''Unukalhai:''' And thus has his essence joined that of the Lord of the Hive in its return unto the land.
'''Unukalhai:''' You have my gratitude, Warrior of Light. Without your valiant efforts, these primal terrors would have invited devastation on a cataclysmic scale.
'''Unukalhai:''' ...For unlike others of their ilk, Bismarck and Ravana both harbor the desire─and the power─to reach Azys Lla.
'''Unukalhai:''' It is with dreadful certainty that I sensed their intent to feed on the strength of the Warring Triad, and thereby amplify their own power by an order of magnitude.
'''Unukalhai:''' By what wisdom do I claim such certainty? I am gifted with... How shall I put this? An intimate knowledge of the primal mind.
'''Unukalhai:''' You are curious, I am sure. But you need not understand the nature of a power to use it, do you? It is much the same with the Echo, I imagine.
'''Unukalhai:''' Ah, the realm of Eorzea... Ever has it been a land embraced by gods. For weal or for woe, I should wonder.
'''Unukalhai:''' For the time being, I shall remain here in the Rising Stones, and assist Urianger with his research into the eikons. If you should require aught further of me...simply ask.

==Steps==
*Speak with the [[Vath Storyteller|Vath storyteller]] at [[Loth ast Vath]].
*Attune to the aetheryte in [[the Gynehive]].
*Confront [[Ravana]] in [[Thok ast Thok (Extreme)]].
*Return to the Vath storyteller.
*Speak with [[Unukalhai]] in [[the Rising Stones]].

==Journal==
* Unukalhai would have you face the Lord of the Hive once more.

* Unukalhai bids you return to Thok ast Thok, where the resurgent Lord of the Hive builds his strength in eager anticipation. Doubtful that the act of surrendering will fool the Gnath a second time, the boy presents you with a gemstone, the Burning Eye of Ravana, and sends you to speak with the elder of the Nonmind. Travel to Loth ast Vath, and consult with the Vath storyteller about a new path into Ravana's domain.

* You speak with the Vath elder, and he tells you of an aetheryte found inside a sacred cave on the far side of the colony. He warns you, however, that the wards placed upon the crystalline structure will admit only the most worthy of warriors...whatever that might mean. Make your way to the Gynehive in Loth ast Gnath, and attune to the Gnathic aetheryte.

* You smash the gemstone against the aetheryte...and nothing much happens. You then proceed to attune to the aetheryte without difficulty, the invisible wards seemingly satisfied by the sacrifice of Unukalhai's bauble. Prove yourself now a worthy challenger, and vanquish the unbridled Wrath of the Colony!
** ※Thok ast Thok (Extreme) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.

* Once more have you faced the savage prowess of the Master of the Sacred Blades, and once more have you prevailed. Return to the hive of the Nonmind and report Ravana's defeat to the Vath storyteller.

* You bring the storyteller tidings of your victory, and the elder is curious to learn how you broke through the aetheryte's powerful wards. Upon hearing your description of the gemstone, he seems overcome by memories of ancient tales─of knowledge he once shared as a subject of the Overmind. The excited Vath claims that the Burning Eye of Ravana was a relic of legend, long sought by the Gnath that it might be returned to their reborn deity. Your great worth, he insists, was proven when you remained unharmed by the eye's searing touch. Though confused by your mention of Unukalhai, the elder nevertheless celebrates your triumph, and vows that the Nonmind shall tell the story of your deeds for generations to come.

* Unukalhai welcomes your return. It seems that the strange visitor is already well aware of the Lord of the Hive's downfall, and he gravely acknowledges the completion of your perilous deed.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Unukalhai:''' As you prepare yourself for battle, so, too, does Ravana...
'''Unukalhai:''' Within Thok ast Thok he builds his strength, feeding upon the prayers of his innumerable children. But those same children will not suffer you to live should you surrender yourself to them a second time.
'''Unukalhai:''' Nay, you must devise a new way of approaching the Lord of the Hive's domain. Consult with the storyteller, the elder of the Vath, and he will aid in this endeavor.
'''Unukalhai:''' Take this bauble. 'Tis known among the Gnath as the Burning Eye of Ravana. When the time comes, you will know what to do...
'''(Optional)'''
'''Unukalhai:''' The Lord of the Hive crouches within Thok ast Thok, sharpening his blades in anticipation of coming conflict. I ask that you grant him the violence he craves.
'''Unukalhai:''' His children, however, will not be deceived a second time. Speak with the storyteller of the Vath, and devise a new approach into Ravana's domain.

===Speaking with Vath Storyteller at Loth ast Vath===
'''Vath Storyteller:''' <click> <click> Ah, our hunter friend. Welcome.
...You come hunting gods once more?
'''Vath Storyteller:''' The Nonmind is glad of your thirst for divine blood. Ever more rapacious do the Onemind grow as they seek offerings to glut our deity's insatiable appetite.
'''Vath Storyteller:''' ...Another path to our god's domain? Yes...yes, there is but one way. You must seek out the Gynehive on the far side of the colony, and attune your spirit to the aetheryte ensconced within.
'''Vath Storyteller:''' But the deed is not possible─we hear that the crystal is warded by ancient ritual magicks. The Onemind have woven the seal such that only the most worthy of warriors shall be granted leave to enter Thok ast Thok. And they do not share with the Nonmind what they consider “worthy”...
'''(Optional)'''
'''Vath Storyteller:''' The path into Thok ast Thok is closed to all but the most worthy of warriors. You are strong, hunter, but we would be sad should you slaughter your way to the Gynehive only to be trapped inside with a warded aetheryte...

===Attuning to the aetheryte in the Gynhive===
'''''<Attuning to Gnathic Aetheryte>'''''
'''System:''' After a pause, you smash the gemstone against the aetheryte. Nothing much happens. Out of habit, you attune with the aetheryte...and once more, nothing much happens.

===Confronting Ravana in Thok ast Thok (Extreme)===
====Duty Dialogue====
'''Ravana:''' Dance to the song of ringing steel!
'''Ravana:''' Furious as a blaze!
'''Ravana:''' Take wing, ye souls of war!
'''Ravana:''' Prepare thyself!
'''Ravana:''' Rejoice in the glory of combat!
'''Ravana:''' Unyielding as the earth!
'''Ravana:''' Thou hast bested me...

====Post Duty Cutscene====
'''Ravana:''' Thus doth the sacred rite of combat proclaim the victor...
I lay my blades at thy feet, child of man...

===Return to the Vath Storyteller===
'''Vath Storyteller:''' <click> <click> ...Once more have you slain our ravening god! Your tribe must think you a great hunter indeed!
'''Vath Storyteller:''' Even the Onemind must begin to appreciate the folly of their wasteful summonings...
'''Vath Storyteller:''' But tell us, great hunter: how were you able to pass the seal? Did it simply melt away at the approach of your indomitable presence?
'''Vath Storyteller:''' ...A gemstone of fire and earth? Hmmm. There is something...a memory we have from the Overmind, before we were cast out... A memory of the Burning Eye of Ravana!
'''Vath Storyteller:''' The Overmind has recollections of legends a hundred generations old. We remember the tale of our god as He once was─an all-devouring beast whose eye was torn from Him by an invading tribe. The Gnath have sought to recover this lost relic for centuries, that it might be rejoined with Ravana reborn.
But even were it found, it is said that only the most worthy of warriors can bear its searing touch... I now understand why the seal granted you passage. But tell us, great hunter: how came you by the eye?
'''Vath Storyteller:''' ...A youngling named Unukalhai? Your deed has returned many memories to the surface of our mind, but that name is not among them. To gift you with such a prize, he, too, must have thought you worthy.
'''Vath Storyteller:''' We thank you, great hunter. Too soon do our memories from the Overmind fade, but you have given us a new story to tell...
'''(Optional)'''
'''Vath Storyteller:''' Your deeds are become legend amongst the Vath, great hunter. We will tell your story for generations to come.

===Speaking with Unukalhai in the Rising Stones (Cutscene)===
'''Unukalhai:''' And thus is the Lord of the Hive's essence returned unto the land.

====If Warrior of Light has not completed the Diabolical Bismarck====
'''Unukalhai:''' Now, must you set your gaze upon Bismarck, Lord of the Mists.
'''Unukalhai:''' The white whale takes for his domain the entirety of the Sea of Clouds. The hunt for this celestial wanderer will be neither straightforward nor simple...

====If Warrior of Light has completed the Diabolical Bismarck====
'''Unukalhai:''' And thus has the essence of Ravana joined that of the Lord of the Mists in its return unto the land.
'''Unukalhai:''' You have my gratitude, Warrior of Light. Without your valiant efforts, these primal terrors would have invited devastation on a cataclysmic scale.
'''Unukalhai:''' ...For unlike others of their ilk, Bismarck and Ravana both harbor the desire─and the power─to reach Azys Lla.
'''Unukalhai:''' It is with dreadful certainty that I sensed their intent to feed on the strength of the Warring Triad, and thereby amplify their own power by an order of magnitude.

*Alys is casting pained glances at one of her regulars.

*Alys informs you that the wandering minstrel has been desperately awaiting your return to the Seventh Heaven. Share your tales of adventure with the forlorn bard, and supply him with the inspiration he needs to craft fresh verse.

*You regale the melancholy minstrel with the story of your exploits on Azy Lla. The bard's transformation upon hearing your tale is nothing short of miraculous, and he immediately takes up his harp.

'''Alys:''' It seems his inspiration has run dry once more, and only a draft of your most excellent adventuring vintage will slake his creative thirst...

===Speak with [[Wandering Minstrel|the wandering minstrel]]===
'''Wandering Minstrel:''' [Forename], at last! In muted agony have I lingered, longing to hear the hero herself speak of her epic deeds in Ishgard and beyond.
'''Wandering Minstrel:''' The frozen tundra you braved, and into the vault of the heavens you ascended. To a sacred peak, both temple and tomb. To a ruined city, reborn and resettled. To a citadel of the ancients you ventured, parting the misty veil of millennia.
'''Wandering Minstrel:''' The journey made by you and your companions has made its mark upon the stars...and I would hear the tale in its entirety.
'''Wandering Minstrel:''' Your words have worked a miracle upon my melancholy heart! New verses arise unbidden, and threaten to spill from my lips... My harp! I must have my harp!

The song of war 'twixt wyrm and man♪
Some thousand years ago began,♪
When mortals grasped for godly might,♪
Defaming name of king and knight...♪
...In Azys Lla, for woe or weal,♪
Did holy will meet righteous steel,♪
And thence was high divinity♪
Compelled by Light to bend the knee.♪

'''Wandering Minstrel:''' ...What say you? Have I captured the spirit of your triumph?
'''Wandering Minstrel:''' Pray forgive any small liberties I may have taken with the details─one cannot evoke the proper picture of your glory without a certain measure of embellishment!

*Report to [[Muna Vanu]].

==Journal==
* Muna Vanu knows there are tasks you are uniquely suited to.
** ※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level.

* The comings and goings of the Vundu tribe are largely unknown to the Gundu. This greatly concerns Muna Vanu. He worries that they secretly plot to attack his people, but without the manpower to observe this threat, he remains unable to adequately appraise the situation. Fortunately, the accomplished knights of Camp Cloudtop keep a close eye on all that transpires around them, and should be well aware of what the Vundu are doing. Fearing they will be uneager to take sides in Vanu Vanu politics, he suggests you speak with the knights on his behalf and find out whether his concerns of Vundu attack are unfounded.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* The Ishgardians stationed at the camp tell you that the Vundu have been spotted in the vicinity of Voor Sian Siran. With little further information forthcoming, you will need to travel there yourself to allay Muna Vanu's suspicions.

* You happen upon a Vundu scout muttering something to himself about the Gundu. Report back to Muna Vanu with this news.

* Muna Vanu is pleased with your work. The information you have gathered will help him in taking steps to ensure the safety of all those under his care.

==Trivia==
* The Vundu scout's comments will change depending on the player's progress in the main Vanu Vanu quests. Prior to finishing {{i|Nest Side Story}}, he voices his disdain for the Gundu. After that quest is completed, he instead expresses concern at their strength.

==Dialogue==
{{section-stub|quest|reason=Dialogue, related-npcs and cutscene-npcs need review}}

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
Muna Vanu: Lately, we hear no news of Vundu movement, [Forename]. But Muna Vanu knows they are always searching, always spying. We need your help. Please find out what they scheme—what evil plan they hide.
Muna Vanu: Netherling knights south of here send scouts out regularly. They intently watch all Vanu Vanu—Vundu, Gundu, Zundu—as griffin looks over land from its perch.
Muna Vanu: But they are friendly with you, netherling. Speak with them on behalf of Gundu—and share with us what news they have of sinister Vundu plans.

Rontremont: You want to know what the Vundu are planning? They have been sending out a frightful number of scouts of late. All signs suggest they are searching for something, though for what, I cannot say.
Rontremont: This is about the Vundu, is it? Their warriors have been training ceaselessly. A betting man might say they're preparing for war. We even stepped up our patrols somewhat as a precaution.
Rontremont: You are asking about the Vundu, I take it? You know, we have not heard a peep from them for some time. If you ask me, they were on the wrong end of some tribal dispute or another.
Rontremont: Clear though it is that the Vundu are plotting something, when it comes to the particulars, your guess is as good as mine.
Rontremont: We try to keep abreast of the goings-on here as well we can, but when we see something like this brewing, there is not much more we can do but gird ourselves and hope for the storm to pass us by.
Rontremont: Those Vundu must have really been given what for. They are going quite out of their way to avoid drawing any attention to themselves.

Harmiette: I really can't say much about the Vanu Vanu, I'm afraid... No, I tell a lie—though I didn't see them myself, one of the other knights mentioned seeing them at Voor Sian Siran.
Harmiette: Now, I'll admit I didn't see them myself, but the chap who ''did'' is a reliable man.

ROSESKNIGHT: I didn't see no Vanu Vanu meself, but I've heard folk sayin' they were spotted down at Voor Sian Siran. If ye want to be sure, ye'd do well to head out and take a look yerself.
ROSESKNIGHT: If ye want to know more about the Vanu Vanu, ye'll have to go to Voor Sian Siran and see for yerself.

GUARDVANU: Unchanging as still night air... Still no sign of pathetic Gundu. Search takes far too long—would be sooner to wait for grass to fall from sky and rain to grow from dirt!

GUARDVANU: Unchanging as still night air... Our battle with Gundu is yet to start. Chief makes us wait and prepare and wait yet more. How long would he have us delay!?
GUARDVANU: Unchanging as still night air... But do Gundu and Zundu have such...such power that chieftain would fear them? Or perhaps chief's caution is borne of wisdom, not cowardice.

System: There is no sign of the Vundu here. Perhaps you will have more luck from a different vantage.

Muna Vanu: Dependable as sun rising each morn, [Forename] returns—and brings with {{alternatives|her|him}} valuable information about Vundu treachery, yes?
Muna Vanu: Maybe Vundu have eyes on Gundu lands. Maybe they do not. To lower our guard would be folly, but it brings comfort to know tribe may live without fear of impending Vundu attack—for now.
Muna Vanu: That Vundu still train and prepare means they are not yet ready to attack, giving Gundu time to prepare defense. This time affords us chance to perfect mighty sundrop dance!
Muna Vanu: Vundu now tremble in fear—quivering like soaked gaelicat in frigid winter gale. Still we must be wary, but we have bought our peace for a time.

==Steps==
*Gather information at [[Camp Cloudtop]]. 0/2
*Gather information at [[the Rosehouse]].
*Search for [[Vundu Scout|Vundu warriors]] near [[Voor Sian Siran]]. 0/2
*Report to [[Muna Vanu]].

==Journal==
* Muna Vanu knows there are tasks you are uniquely suited to.
** ※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level.

* The comings and goings of the Vundu tribe are largely unknown to the Gundu. This greatly concerns Muna Vanu. He worries that they secretly plot to attack his people, but without the manpower to observe this threat, he remains unable to adequately appraise the situation. Fortunately, the accomplished knights of Camp Cloudtop keep a close eye on all that transpires around them, and should be well aware of what the Vundu are doing. Fearing they will be uneager to take sides in Vanu Vanu politics, he suggests you speak with the knights on his behalf and find out whether his concerns of Vundu attack are unfounded.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* The Ishgardians stationed at the camp tell you that the Vundu have been spotted in the vicinity of Voor Sian Siran. With little further information forthcoming, you will need to travel there yourself to allay Muna Vanu's suspicions.

* You happen upon a Vundu scout muttering something to himself about the Gundu. Report back to Muna Vanu with this news.

* Muna Vanu is pleased with your work. The information you have gathered will help him in taking steps to ensure the safety of all those under his care.

==Trivia==
* The Vundu scout's comments will change depending on the player's progress in the main Vanu Vanu quests. Prior to finishing {{i|Nest Side Story}}, he voices his disdain for the Gundu. After that quest is completed, he instead expresses concern at their strength.

Muna Vanu: Lately, we hear no news of Vundu movement, [Forename]. But Muna Vanu knows they are always searching, always spying. We need your help. Please find out what they scheme—what evil plan they hide.
Muna Vanu: Netherling knights south of here send scouts out regularly. They intently watch all Vanu Vanu—Vundu, Gundu, Zundu—as griffin looks over land from its perch.
Muna Vanu: But they are friendly with you, netherling. Speak with them on behalf of Gundu—and share with us what news they have of sinister Vundu plans.

==Steps==
*Enter [[the Void Ark]].
*Speak to [[Leofard]].

==Journal==
*Utata seems eager to share her findings on the ghost ship.

*Utata explains how she created an "ectocompass" that allows her to track the ghost ship's unique aetheric signature. Using the readings she has taken, it seems she has been able to plot a course to intercept the cursed vessel. Gather together a trusty crew, and prepare to boldly go where no sky pirate has gone before... and lived to tell the tale!

*※The Void Ark can be accessed via the Duty Finder.

*You have braved the depths of the Void Ark and lived to tell the tale. Make your way back to the Sea of Clouds.

*At the heart of the Ark, you discover a massive coffin-like object, but before you can inspect it more closely, a fearsome voidsent appears, seemingly intent on your destruction. Rather than engage the creature, however, you elect to flee the violently heaving vessel at the behest of what appears to be a talking cat. Once outside in your manacutter, you are witness to an incredible spectacle: the prow of the ship splits open, and emits a blinding blast of light that tears a rent in the very sky. The belly of the vessel then ejects the huge coffin, which disappears into the gaping rift.

*Speak with Leofard back at the Gauntlet, and attempt to make sense of these portentous events.

*Back on solid ground, your rendezvous with Utata does not proceed as planned: Radlia and her axe-wielding brutes have taken the Redbill engineer captive. They ransom her for the ectocompass, but not before Leofard slips a linkpearl into the device's casing. Though concerned about Radlia's plans for the Ark, the Redbill captain first wishes to learn more of the cat creature─one "Cait Sith"─and of the haunted vessel upon which he dwelt.

*You return to the Redbill's den, and the loquacious feline reveals his nature as a familiar. He tells the tale of High Voidmage Cessair, and of the Mhachi magi who constructed the Void Ark as a means to escape the great floods of the Sixth Umbral Calamity. Sadly for them, he continues, they proved unable to control the potent entity chosen to power the ship─whom he calls Scathach, the Shadow Queen─and were forced to contend with the horde of lesser voidsent servants that her rampant energies set loose. Though they ultimately succeeded in rebinding the creatures, they did so at the cost of their own lives, leaving Cait Sith alone to guard a derelict prison. For fifteen hundred years the Void Ark drifted, until a determined voidsent arrived on the ship and once more released its malevolent inamtes, his efforts culminating in what you now understand to be the liberation of Scathach's warded tomb.

*After hearing Cait Sith's story, Leofard vows to aid him in tracking down the Queen's Coffin... and collect any ancient treasures uncovered along the way. For the time being, however, the pirate captain encourages you to return to your adventures, adding that you should always keep an ear open for the Redbills' call to arms.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-optional start
Stacia: This here's Utata, the lass I was tellin' you about. She's our engineer, and a damn good one at that.
Leofard: I always get this little thrill in me chest when I'm about to embark on a new adventure. And once you've felt your heart dance like that, there's naught you wouldn't do to feel it again...
Redbill Deckhand: Might be as there are better engineers in the realm, but I'd wager none are as inventive as our Utata. She earns her keep with her brains, not her brawn, and we're a stronger crew for it.
-optional end
-cutscene start
Utata: Well met, ladies and gentlepirates! Now that we appear to have our hero, I'm happy to report that we've overcome the last obstacle to boarding the ghost ship!
Leofard: ...Meanin' your project is proceedin' as planned?
Utata: That it is, Captain! I knew this would be the perfect place to take readings—the scant amounts of background aether make it easy to follow the derelict's trail.
Stacia: The ghost ship has what Utata tells us is a "unique aetheric signature." She's been buildin' a device what can sniff out this particular spectral flavor, and point us in the right direction.
Utata: I call it the "ectocompass"! It's allowed me to collect some solid data on the vessel's movements, and plot a reliable intercept course. No groping blindly through the clouds for us!
Stacia: All the ships are loaded and ready to fly. Just say the word, Captain.
Leofard: Utata, you'd best stay here, out of harm's way. Keep an eye on them aether trails, eh?
Utata: Aye, Captain! Grab an armload of treasure for me!
Leofard: Now, we've got no way of knowin' what's waitin' for us on that cursed hulk, [Forename], so you'd best bring along a few mates what you know you can trust. Don't hurt to be too careful, seein' as how you'll be goin' in first and all. I did tell you you'd be goin' in first, didn't I? I, well, you will.
Leofard: The rest of us'll be guardin' the rear, just in case Radlia and her brood decide to stick their beaks in where they ain't wanted. Don't worry, she'll not get past us, so you can concentrate on carvin' a path into the ship's belly!
Leofard: An honest-to-gods ghost ship...<br>Ohhh-ho-ho, this is gonna be an adventure and a half!
-quest accepted
-cutscene end

===Enter the Void Ark===
-optional start
Stacia: I'll be on hand to see that our curious captain don't get us all killed meddlin' with some ancient artifact or other—meanin' you'll be free to concentrate on not gettin' killed by whatever's waitin' belowdecks. Can't say fairer than that, eh?
Leofard: We'll deal with any sneaky bastards what try creepin' in behind us while you and your mates forge ahead. That hulk's secrets'll be ours alone.
Utata: Leofard will be taking my ectocompass with him. Just follow his lead, and you'll arrive at the derelict soon enough. Who knows what wondrous trinkets await you inside!?
Redbill Deckhand: The captain's dragged us on some hair-raisin' ventures in his time, but summat tells me this one's gonna be the worst of the lot. If we look out for each other, though, I reckon we'll make it home in one piece...with a bit of luck.
-optional end
-cutscene start
Leofard: Bugger me... I expected danger, but not a hells-spawned bleedin' nightmare made flesh like that! Didn't stop you and your mates, though, did it!? That's some crew you've got there, and no mistake.
Leofard: Right, then—let's have a look inside that dirty great coffer-type...thing. Summat tells me it's filled to the brim with booty.
Stacia: Don't look at me! I never moved a muscle!
Leofard: What in the seven hells is that bastard doin'!?
Cait Sith@???: This way! Swiftly now!
Leofard: Er...can anyone else see that talkin' cat over there? Bloody hells, this adventure's gettin' queerer by the minute...
Leofard: ...Still, I'd rather take me chances with a prattlin' puss than stay here. Get your things, mateys—we're leavin'!
Stacia: But...what about the loot!?
Leofard: You can't spend it when you're dead! We either follow the furball, or make friends with a spell-slingin' voidborn! Your choice!
Stacia: Gods damn it! How's an honest sky pirate meant to make a livin'!?
Leofard: The ship's breakin' up...<br>Is he tryin' to bring her down?
Cait Sith@???: The voidsent is attempting to initiate a dimensional displacement! But the gate—it cannot possibly be large enough for the entire ship...
Cait Sith@???: <gasp> The Queen's Coffin! He takes it beyond our reach!
Leofard: Well, there don't seem much point hangin' 'round here. Let's get back to solid ground.
-cutscene end

===Speak with Leofard===
-optional start
Stacia: What kind of cat is that anyway? And what was it doin' on that ship...?
Redbill Deckhand: Ugh... Me poor heart... 'Tis a pity about the loot and no mistake, but at least we made it out in one piece. As the captain's so fond of sayin', "You can't spend it when you're dead!" <sigh>
Cait Sith@Curious Cat: Long has it been since my paws have trodden aught but those cursed decks...<br><sigh> Would that I had made landfall under better circumstances.
-optional end
-cutscene start
Leofard: Aye, 'twas a bit touch and go in places, I grant you, but here we all are, and all with our bits still attached! This calls for a foamin' flagon of—
Leofard: Hold on. Ain't we missin' someone? Didn't I tell Utata to wait for us here?
Radlia@???: Never fear. We've been keeping the girl company.
Radlia: But enough about her! Did you ''see'' the cannon on that ship? As you know, my dear Leofard, I am not easily moved, but the sheer power on display set me all aquiver.
Leofard: Well, I hope you're content to admire it from afar. That vessel ain't for the likes of you and me.
Radlia: Do not presume to measure me by your own limitations. Besides, I believe I've shown how ''resourceful'' I can be.
Radlia: Which brings me neatly to the point. You have in your possession a device capable of tracking the ghost ship. Hand it over, or your engineer shall suffer the consequences.
Radlia: ...Perfect. A compass pointing the way to my just reward. A weapon like that belongs in the hands of one with the will to use it!
Radlia: Come, lads. Our business here is concluded.
Utata: I'm sorry, Captain. They caught me off guard...
Stacia: ...You get a bang on the head or summat? The man I know would never give in to scum like her without a fight. Unless—
Stacia: <sigh> What did you do to the compass?
Leofard: Who, me? Naught.<br>...Besides slippin' a linkpearl into its casin', like. Hah hah! So long as Radlia keeps it close—and you can be damn sure she will—we'll know exactly what them thievin' bastards are plannin'! Anyone care to wager how long it'll take her to notice me little gift?
Stacia: That's very clever and all, but how were you proposin' to stop her from gettin' her hands on that derelict and its great big cannon?
Leofard: I ain't worked that part out yet. But I 'spect it'll start with us keepin' a close eye on the Talons.
Leofard: 'Fore we get into any of that, though, I've got some questions what need answerin'.
Cait Sith@Curious Cat: You wish to know more of the Void Ark? The "ghost ship," as you call it?
Leofard: The Void Ark... So that's its proper name. Aye, I'd like to hear whatever you'd care to tell us, puss.
Cait Sith: And I, for my part, am curious to hear your stories. Ere we continue, however, I must insist that you address me by ''my'' proper name: Cait Sith. I will not respond to "puss" or "cat," and most decidedly not "furball."
Cait Sith: My tale begins long, long ago in the city of Mhach, which once stood in the lands of Yafaem.
Cait Sith: The sorcerers of Mhach were masters of destructive magicks, and they brought that terrible power to bear against Amdapor and Nym in the War of the Magi.
Cait Sith: The titanic forces they unleashed, however, took a heavy toll upon the land, ultimately resulting in a colossal flood that drowned the realm of Eorzea—a catastrophe which my master, High Voidmage Cessair, was wise enough to foresee.
Stacia: Wait, wait, wait... Colossal flood? Are you talkin' about the Sixth Umbral Calamity?
Cait Sith: Hmm, I suppose you would know it as such... Now, where was I? Ah, yes. When they learned of the fate that awaited them, the Mhachi magi began construction of a gargantuan vessel that would bear their people to the skies, and to safety.
Cait Sith: The operation of the Void Ark, as the ship came to be called, was entrusted to Cessair. Prior to that, of course, my master had been a prisoner in her own home, confined for her outspoken opposition to the war...
Utata: So the Ark was meant as a ''sanctuary''? Then, how did it come to be so...um... I mean, what happened to all the people? And where did all the voidsent come from?
Cait Sith: By what power do you imagine such a massive craft remains aloft? The energy required to raise the Ark was siphoned from over a thousand otherworldly servants sealed within the vessel.
Cait Sith: Advances in Mhachi sorcery were made for one reason and one reason only: cataclysmic destructive power. And the swiftest—and most dangerous—method of acquiring that power was through the enslavement of voidsent entities.
Utata: So, the creatures on the derelict...they broke free from your master's control?
Cait Sith: At the very heart of the Ark, the voidmages had entombed a great ruler of the voidsent—Scathach, the Shadow Queen.
Cait Sith: But in order to control so potent a prisoner, a mage of adamant will was required. And being Mhach's preeminent sorcerer, Cessair was deemed best qualified. Were it otherwise, my master might never have been released from her own imprisonment...
Cait Sith: Yet even with Cessair's peerless skill, the Shadow Queen could not long be subjugated. One after another, the lesser voidsent awoke, and ran rampant within the ship.
Cait Sith: In the end, Cessair and the fifty-three voidmages aboard the Ark sacrificed their own life energies to return the fiends to their coffins...leaving me, a lowly familiar, to watch over a derelict prison.
Leofard: If I remember me Umbral Eras right, the stuff you just described happened more'n fifteen hundred years past—which is a good while by anyone's measure. And since everythin' seems to have been quiet on board your boat till just recently, I'm thinkin' summat unusual must've happened to wake the inmates up. Am I warm?
Cait Sith: One day, a voidsent that had taken the shape of a bat flew into the ship. At first, it was little more than a nuisance that I brushed away, but the longer it remained on the Ark, the stronger it seemed to become... Eventually I could not contend with its power, and it began shattering seal after seal!
> If player has completed {{i|The Lost City of Amdapor}}
Cait Sith: ...You have faced this bat-winged fiend before!? It would seem, then, that the creature survived the encounter...and that he intends to celebrate his restoration by liberating his queen.
> Else
Cait Sith: ...Ah, but you looked upon the true form of this fiend as he broke the chains holding the Queen's Coffin. I can only assume that he is one of Scathach's subjects, intent on bringing about her return.
---
Leofard: Well, that explains that, then—'cept for one small detail, namely, where the Queen's Coffin went. After it fell out of the ship's belly...I'm assumin' it didn't just disappear, right?
Cait Sith: You recall the great rift that the Ark's cannon ripped in the sky? That was a voidgate.
Cait Sith: Such a portal opens a temporary path through the void, allowing the ship to travel almost instantaneously from one location to another. The voidsent, as you saw, only opened a gate large enough to displace the Coffin. As for the Coffin's destination, however...that is as much a mystery to me as it is to you.
Cait Sith: I beseech you, conquerors of the Ark: help me find the Queen's Coffin ere the wards binding Scathach are dispelled!
Leofard: Smells to me like an adventure! And who knows what ancient Mhachi treasures we might stumble on along the way!? Gods know, they'll make a nice change from all them Allagan tomestones we've been collectin'!
Leofard: Aye, we'll help you. I'm not riskin' me hide for the sake of the realm, you understand, but I'll be damned if I let either Radlia or that bat-winged bastard take the freedom of the skies from me!
Cait Sith: You... You care only for how ''you'' might be inconvenienced!? If the Shadow Queen were to return, it would have dire consequences for this entire star!
Leofard: Count your blessin's, furball! I said we'd help, didn't I?
Leofard: 'Fore we go rushin' off in search of that coffin, though, there's preparations to be made. You might as well get back to your usual heroical employment, [Forename]. I'll let you know when it's time to round up your mates again...
Radlia: The time is nigh, my dear Talons. Soon, we shall seize control of the ghost ship and all its power, and rule the skies from here to the ends of the world!

==Steps==
*Speak with Ser [[Aymeric]] outside [[Moghome]].

*Blow the horn on the top floor of [[Zenith]].

*Speak with Ser Aymeric.

*Speak with the [[Imperious Wyvern|imperious wyvern]].

*Enter [[Sohr Khai]].

*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Despite [[Vidofnir]]'s predictably gloomy appraisal of your chances, [[Alphinaud]] is resolved to lead Ser [[Aymeric]] to the summit of [[Sohm Al]]. Rejoin your companions outside [[Moghome]], and signal your readiness to depart to the lord commander.

*As Ser Aymeric shares his wonder at the incredible vista, you are suddenly hailed by [[Moghan]], the [[moogle]] who first guided you to [[Zenith]]. Upon learning of your purpose in the [[Churning Mists]], he assures you that the winds are perfect for carrying your call to [[Hraesvelgr]]'s ears. Make your way to Zenith, and blow the moogles' horn once more.

*You look on as Hraesvelgr descends from the clouds, just as he did when first you came to Zenith -- and wince inwardly as he greets your request for aid with the selfsame scorn. Undaunted, Aymeric and Alphinaud strive to win the great wyrm round with eloquence and reason, but it is not until [[Midgardsormr]] himself appears that Hraesvelgr finally assents to test you and your companions' resolve. Consult with Ser Aymeric on how best to approach the forthcoming trial.

*Ser Aymeric informs you that he observed a [[Imperious Wyvern|wyvern]] landing just outside the palace, and concludes that it must be one of the “children” of whom Hraesvelgr spoke. Accost the waiting dragon.

*It would seem that the wyvern has come to bear you to the scene of your ordeal. Steel yourself, body and mind, for the trials of so ancient and powerful a being as Hraesvelgr are not like to be simple... nor less forgiving.
** ※Challenge [[Sohr Khai]] with other players via the [[Duty Finder]], or with a party of NPCs via [[Duty Support]]. Both systems are accessible from the main menu as well as the dungeon's entrance point.

*You have weathered the trial of the great wyrm. Before returning to Zenith, it would seem wise to speak with Hraesvelgr.

*Hraesvelgr commends you and your companions for your unwavering determination, and pledges to aid you in the coming battle with [[Nidhogg]]. Inquire of Alphinaud how he fared in his own trial.

*Your trials completed, Alphinaud ponders how much time you have to prepare for Nidhogg's assault. Scarcely have the words left his lips, however, when a thunderous roar echoes across the sky, signaling the advance of the [[Dravanian Horde]]. The time has come for the final reckoning with Nidhogg -- to bring an end to his wrathful song.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
-optional start
'''Aymeric:''' Lucia's report described Anyx Trine in detail, but her words failed to convey the overwhelming ''strangeness'' of standing here in the demesne of dragons.

'''Vidofnir:''' 'Tis folly to believe they words might sway the heart of my sire.<br>...Yet I wish thee fortune in thy endeavor, nonetheless.
-optional end

===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' Though I expected no better answer from Vidofnir, I take little pleasure from having been proven right. 'Twould seem that our presence at Zenith will be every bit as unwelcome as I had anticipated. But what is the ire of one great wyrm to a trio of self-confessed fools such as ourselves?
'''Alphinaud:''' Let us begin our ascent.

'''Aymeric:''' After you, Master Alphinaud.

'''Alphinaud:''' Scout ahead if you wish, [Forename]. We shall join you outside Moghome!

-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Alphinaud:''' The lord commander seems lost for words. Nor can I blame him. I recall being similarly awestruck when I first beheld this vista.
-optional end

===Speaking with Ser Aymeric outside Moghome===
-cutscene start
'''Aymeric:''' I had heard tales of the world above the clouds, but never did I dream... One's mind paints a pale picture of its majesty.

'''Alphinaud:''' Few live to see such wonders. I am reminded of my first visit to this peak, when Estinien and Ysayle yet walked at our side...

'''Moghan@Churning Mists Moogle:''' Kupopo? Is that you, [Forename]?

'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, if it isn't Mog... Mog... uh...

'''Moghan@Churning Mists Moogle:''' Don't tell me you've forgotten my name, kupo!? After all we've been through together!
'''Moghan@Churning Mists Moogle:''' But at least ''you'' remember me!<br>You...you ''do'' remember me, don't you, [Forename]?

Question: Do you remember the moogle?

> How could I forget you, Moglin!
'''Moghan@Churning Mists Moogle:''' H-How could you mistake me for that overstuffed throne-warmer!? I'm Moghan! The courageous moogle who guided you to Zenith, kupo!

> Of course I do, Moghan!
'''Moghan@Churning Mists Moogle:''' Phew! You seemed a bit hesitant for a moment there! But I'm sure you were just fondly recalling the time we camped near Zenith, right, kupo?

> Apologies, friend, but all moogles look the same to me...
'''Moghan@Churning Mists Moogle:''' ...I see, kupo. Then I suppose our time around the campfire meant less to you than I thought it did. It's “Moghan,” by the way... <sniff>

---
'''Moghan:''' But putting our shared history to one side, what brings you and your friends to Moghome, kupo?
'''Moghan:''' Ah, another audience with old Hraesvelgr...
'''Moghan:''' Well, I hope you've brought the horn, kupo! With the winds as gentle as they are, a good loud toot should reach the great wyrm's ears easily enough!

'''Alphinaud:''' That is good to hear, Moghan—thank you. We had best press on to Zenith, while the winds are in our favor.

'''Moghan:''' Now that was unexpected, kupo. Chieftain Moglin will want to hear about this!
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''Moghan:''' Did you meet with Hraesvelgr already, kupo? You never know when the winds will pick up again!

'''Aymeric:''' We ''must'' win Hraesvelgr to our cause. Fail in this and Ishgard's fate is all but sealed.

'''Alphinaud:''' Pray sound the horn, [Forename].
-optional end

===Blowing the horn on the top floor of Zenith===
-voiced cutscene start
'''Hraesvelgr:''' You dare summon me again, mortals?

'''Alphinaud:''' Great Hrasevelgr, 'tis not lightly that we beg this audience. Pray hearken to our words, for they concern the future of man and dragon both.

'''Aymeric:''' Greetings, Hrasevelgr. I am Aymeric de Borel, acting ruler of the nation of Ishgard.
'''Aymeric:''' I am come before you to parley on behalf of my people.

'''Hraesvelgr:''' ...to ''parley''? Thinkest thou thy purpose unclear to me? Thou art come to beg mine aid in the battle against the shade of my brood-brother.

'''Aymeric:''' You...foresaw mine intent.

'''Hraesvelgr:''' I but read that which is writ plain in thine eyes. Would that thou had wit enough to scry the answer in mine.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' My beloved Shiva did once build a bridge 'twixt man and dragon - a bridge which thy treacherous forefathers saw fit to tear down, as thou well knowest.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Thinkest thou Nidhogg was alone in despairing at the murder of our brood-sister? Thinkest thou mine own soul did not cry out for vengeance? Know then that upon that accursed day, my heart did wither in my breast, and thy kind became unto me harbingers of despair.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' 'Tis only Shiva's gentle dream that preventeth me from flying at Nidhogg's shoulder. Be grateful that I swore to abjure aggression ere I consumed her.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' I permit my children to offer or deny thee aid as they see fit; to warn thy people of my brood-brother's coming. That thou wouldst dare ask more of me but affirmeth thine incurable arrogance.

'''Alphinaud:''' We understand that in your despair at man's betrayal, you seek only the refuge of solitude.
'''Alphinaud:''' But despite your protestations of spent faith, do you not still nurture the smallest flame of hope?

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Perceivest thou such light in the dusk of mine existence?

'''Alphinaud:''' I do. If you claim I see falsely, then tell me: why did you consent to bear Ysayle upon your back?

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Ysayle... Piteous, deluded Ysayle. The child did lament her past sins, and sought to balance the scales with her remaining days. 'Twas her unquenchable passion, so alike to that of my beloved, which did spur me into flight.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' And for mine own part, I would countenance no longer the hands of evil men to use my brood-brother's eye for ill.

'''Alphinaud:''' So you do distinguish between those who acknowledge and repent their sins, and those who perpetuate them. Interesting.
'''Alphinaud:''' It seems to me that you have not, in fact, lost faith in mankind as a whole. Rather, you weigh our respective merits by how we allow the past to influence our future.

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Spare me thine idle sophistry. Even were there a mote of truth in thy reasoning, what of it? Wouldst thou have me slay mine own sibling to save a city of mortals?

'''Aymeric:''' Should we suffer ties of blood to bind our hands then? Nay. If the crime is one of unconscionable evil, we must needs condemn it—even should the transgressor be our closest kin.
'''Aymeric:''' When my father corrupted himself and his followers with the power of a primal, I beseeched the Warrior of Light to slay him—an act alike to patricide.
'''Aymeric:''' That he did not die by my hands matters little—if anything, it heaps greater disgrace upon my name. But had my father not fallen, he would have drawn countless thousands into a holy war of hellish proportions—which I hold the greater crime. Thus did I order his execution, sparing the lives of my people and yours.
'''Aymeric:''' Alas, your brother wyrm now prepares to murder those whom I sought to spare. What is more, he has taken my comrade's body for his own—but if I must slay my dearest friend to defeat my direst foe, I will not flinch from my duty!

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Thou wouldst strike down thy friend and, by example of thy righteousness, persuade me to break mine oath and kill my kindred?

'''Midgardsormr:''' Heed me, my child. The servants of Hydaelyn envision a different outcome. They intend salvation not only for Ishgard, but for the doomed dragonslayer as well.
'''Midgardsormr:''' Believest thou this shade to be Nidhogg returned? Is it not merely a manifestation of his vengeance—the shadow cast by thy blood-brother's rage? I would not command thee, but ponder well thy course lest it lead thee unto greater remorse...

Question: What will you say?

> While this shade of vengeance remains, the future will ever be uncertain.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Nidhogg's transformation into rage incarnate is, in part, of mine own doing. I rendered unto him mine eye, and empowered his revenge thereby... But 'tis the purity of my brood-brother's wrath that lendeth him his all-surpassing might.

> Help us save our companion.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Thou wishest to rescue the dragoon from his fate along with all the rest? I do begin to see why Ysayle entrusted her hope unto thee. Thy purpose is pure. ...But so too is my brood-brother's wrath, and 'tis that which lendeth him his all-surpassing might.

> ...
'''Hraesvelgr:''' What, no words for me, warrior? I take it thou art resolved to act whether I aid thee or no... Ha! I do admire thy determination.
---

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Hast thou the strength of will to stand against so terrible a shadow, I wonder? 'Twould seem I must put thee and thy companions to the proof.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' I shall await thee in the ruins wherein Ratatoskr once dwelled. Heed well the words of my children, and hasten thee to the place of thy trial!
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Ser Aymeric===
'''Aymeric:''' I believe I spied a wyvern landing just outside the palace. It is doubtless one of the "children" of whom Hrasevelgr spoke.
'''Aymeric:''' Come, my friends; let us not keep our escort waiting.

-optional start
'''Aymeric:''' For the sake of Ishgard, I shall overcome whatever trial is placed before me. And I have no doubt that you will do the same, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' Another day, another trial. Such ordeals must seem almost mundane to you by now. Would that I could say the same.
-optional end

===Speaking with the imperious wyvern===
'''Imperious Wyvern:''' My broodmates and I will bear you to the place of your trial. Make your preparations.

-optional start
'''Imperious Wyvern:''' Great Hraesvelgr honors you with this trial. Prepare to be sorely tested...
-optional end

===Sohr Khai (with Duty Support)===
'''Aymeric:''' Let us prove our worth, my friends!

'''Alphinaud:''' Aye, beyond a shadow of doubt!

'''Alphinaud:''' By the Twelve, it's Chieftain Moglin!

'''Aymeric:''' That he should be part of the trial...

'''Chieftain Moglin:''' This is as far as you go, [Forename]!<br>You and your ridiculous name won't make it past me, kupo!
'''Chieftain Moglin:''' Kupopo... That's enough... You've made your point.<br>This isn't a fight to the death, kupo...

'''Alphinaud:''' I didn't expect to face the moogles...

'''Aymeric:''' I pray they aren't too badly hurt.
'''Aymeric:''' <pant> The air is rather thin this high up...

'''Alphinaud:''' It isn't a race, so let us pace ourselves.
'''Alphinaud:''' The wyrm depicted on yonder crest...

'''Aymeric:''' Neither Hraesvelgr nor Nidhogg. It could only be Ratatoskr.

'''Alphinaud:''' A winged horse...and an enormous one at that!

'''Aymeric:''' There isn't much room to maneuver. Have care!

'''Alphinaud:''' That creature was truly fearsome in motion...

'''Aymeric:''' Thankfully we managed to rein it in.

'''Alphinaud:''' Good heavens, what a majestic place...

'''Aymeric:''' I daresay we are come to Ratatoskr's sanctuary.

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Thou hast weathered my trial thus far...but I am not convinced.<br>I will try thy limits.

'''Aymeric:''' We will win you over, Hraesvelgr. Mark my words.

'''Alphinaud:''' What awaits, I wonder...

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Nidhogg will spare thee no clemency.<br>And thus neither must I.

'''Alphinaud:''' Pray watch over us, Ysayle!

'''Hraesvelgr:''' Come, warrior. Show me what strength doth remain in thy frail mortal shell!

'''Aymeric:''' All that I have, I shall bring to bear!

'''Hraesvelgr:''' The sky is the domain of dragons.<br>How wilt thou contend with such mastery?
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Thou art formidable...<br>But canst thou endure until the bitter end?
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Fight on, warrior! Press thy attack!
'''Hraesvelgr:''' ...Thy resolve hath withstood my scrutiny.<br>Mayhap there is hope to be had in one such as thee...

Alphinaud: I gave my all. I pray it was enough...
Aymeric: I shan't soon forget this trial.

===Post-duty cutscene===
-voiced cutscene start
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Even bereft of an eye, my brood-brother was a fearsome foe indeed.

> If the player has completed the dragoon job quests
'''Hraesvelgr:''' But having tasted thy strength firsthand, full well can I imagine how thou didst bring him low. The dread title of “Azure Dragoon” is no empty appellation.

> Otherwise
'''Hraesvelgr:''' But having tasted thy strength firsthand, I do begin to see how thou didst bring him low. Hydaelyn chooseth Her servants well.

---
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Very well. I shall trust in the seed of man one last time. By thy deeds shall the flickering hope that lingereth yet within my heart be kindled anew...or extinguished forever.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' That you yet stand is ready proof of your determination, mortals.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Let us fight as allies, then, and together banish my brood-brother's vengeful shade. On my oath, the wrath that once was Nidhogg shall meet its end!
'''Hraesvelgr:''' This I swear on the memory of my beloved Shiva, and on the soul of lost Ysayle...
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''Aymeric:''' Countless times have I fought the minions of Nidhogg, but never did I imagine that I would one day face Hraesvelgr himself.
-optional end

===Speaking with Alphinaud===
-cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Oh...ohhh... Oh, my poor ribs... That was a painful reminder of a great wyrm's might....

'''Aymeric:''' And had he truly meant us harm, we would not be standing here now. Plainly his intent was to teach. His onslaught forced me to recall my training - about the speed of the dragon, his balance, his blind spots.... It was, in short, a very thorough lesson.

'''Moglin:''' Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow...kupo. [Forename], let me begin by congratulating you on the completion of your trial.
'''Moglin:''' For one with a name more befitting a jester, you fight with the savagery of a rabid demon.
'''Moglin:''' Do you see how my wings are kinked? Even my pom aches! After this drubbing, I fear my loyal subjects will have to bear the load of my personal chores for quite some time, kupo. Possibly indefinitely.

'''Moghan:''' What!? When I told you about [Forename]'s trial, I didn't mean for the ''rest of us'' to suffer...

'''Moglin:''' ...That's ''triple'' shifts for you, Moghan.

'''Moghan:''' <splutter> ''Triple''!? But that's not fair!!!<br>There's no justice, kupo... None at all!
-cutscene end
-voiced cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Our negotiations proved rather more strenuous than I had anticipated, but the results seem well worth the effort.

'''Aymeric:''' The battle was indeed hard-won. Thank you, my friends─I would never have earned Hraesvelgr's cooperation had you not seen fit to grant me yours.
'''Aymeric:''' 'Twas your stalwart heroism that moved the great wyrm at the last. Any gratitude I can offer is but poor reward for your continued service to Ishgard.

'''Alphinaud:''' 'Twould seem our final reckoning with the dread wyrm is at hand. I only wish we had some inkling as to when he means to strike.
'''Alphinaud:''' Oh gods!

'''Midgardsormr:''' The cry heraldeth his coming. Nidhogg's shade hath taken wing.

'''Aymeric:''' It has begun. We must away to Ishgard!

**※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level.

* The colony has used some of its newfound wealth to procure second-hand cannons for their defense. However, the cannons did not come with the stock of firesand required to operate them. Not to be discouraged by the Gnath's fierce guard of the sulphur needed to make the powder, the deftarm sought advice from Marcechamp. The hunter made mention of the Convictors of Coerthas, who own cannons similar to the deftarm's second-hand ones. The Vath adventurer concludes that the dragonslayers must have a large supply of firesand on hand, and is eager to make their acquaintance. Before making your way to Coerthas, rendezvous with the deftarm on the edge of the Chocobo Forest.

* You meet with an anxious Vath deftarm near the edge of the forelands, who remarks that this would be the furthest he has been from his home. But your journey is soon interrupted by a familiar foe.

* You find yourself face-to-face with a Gnath brandishing a musket, whom you quickly dispatch. Afterwards, an ashamed deftarm explains that he was unable to join the fray because the voices of the Gnath struck fear in him. Turning his thoughts to the task at hand, he bids you continue onward to Coerthas.

* The deftarm is overwhelmed by his first sight of snow. Unfortunately, he appears rather less comfortable in the cold. Shivering, he slowly makes his way towards the Convictory.

* Jantellot quickly overcomes his astonishment at being addressed by a giant talking crab once the deftarm expresses his desire for firesand. The fledgling adventurer makes the mistake of declaring he will perform “any task” in exchange, prompting Jantellot to bid the Vath rid the camp of lesser dragons entirely. After failing to convince Jantellot to change his request, the deftarm is at a loss as to how to slay a horde of dragons on his own. However, recalling the Vathic methods of driving dragons away, he quickly departs the camp to search for herbs to make incense, but not before asking that you prepare a fire outside the camp.

* You build a fire with the bundle of wood that Jantellot provided, and wait for the Vath's return. Just as the scouts have spotted lesser dragons flying over the ridge towards the camp, the deftarm appears with the dried herbs. He tells Jantellot if he lights them aflame, it will produce a smoke so potent that it forces dragons to retreat. The Convictor seems doubtful of its effectiveness at first, but is pleasantly surprised when he sees the results for himself. He offers firesand to the deftarm in exchange for more of the herbs to which the deftarm gleefully accepts. With mention of the guild and its services, a deal is struck between the Vath and the Convictor leader. Speak with the deftarm before you set off for Loth ast Vath.

* The deftarm is satisfied that he was able to fulfill his quest, but expresses relief that he can now leave the freezing climate of Coerthas. Return to Loth ast Vath to apprise the storyteller of the developments.

* You arrive at Loth ast Vath, but the storyteller informs you that the deftarm has not returned yet. Sensing something amiss, he asks you to search for him.

* You find the deftarm in front of the colony. Strangely enough, it appears he lost his way on the path home. Speak to him once more at the Adventurers' Guild.

* The deftarm deems the trip to Coerthas a success, as he has been able to secure a supply of firesand for Loth ast Vath's cannons. Although the colder clime was not to his liking, he is pleased with his first journey outside of the Dravanian forelands. The deftarm dreams of seeing more of the realm, but his next foray will have to wait as his responsibilities as head of the guild will keep him busy for a while.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> It seemed like it took days for the sun to set when I had no purpose. Now I barely notice until the braziers are lit! Our guild is so busy!
'''Vath Deftarm:''' Master is so generous to help us with our clients' tasks. After the guild was constructed, we did not know where to begin. But we watched you, and we learned many things.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' We traded for cannons with rewards we reaped. For our colony's defense. Although they are not new, they should work well enough. But there is a problem. We have no firesand to use them if they are needed.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' I sought to find sulphur─to make our own stock. But the Onemind has claimed all of the deposits for themselves. And they guard them fiercely. Very fiercely.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' I asked Marcechamp where else I could procure firesand. He spoke of a group of fleshlings who slay dragons for glory─dragonslayers. They live far in the south, in the land the hunters call Coerthas. Do you know of them?
'''Vath Deftarm:''' He said these dragonslayers use cannons much like ours. But bigger. Much bigger! Bigger cannons must mean lots of firesand, yes? Will you come with me to speak with them?
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> Thank you. This will be a long journey for me. Very long. I must prepare. Let us meet at the edge of the forest.

===Rendezvousing with the Vath deftarm near the edge of the Chocobo Forest===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> I am nervous, Master. I have never traveled beyond the borders of the hunters' camp. What awaits us in the south?
'''Vath Deftarm:''' These whispers... The Onemind!

===Speaking with the Vath deftarm===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> ...Forgive me, Master. Their voices, they frighten me.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' My head aches. They drown out my own thoughts. I lose the will to move.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' No. It is no excuse! All adventurers face many trials. This is my own to overcome. We must press on to Coerthas!

===Speaking with the Vath deftarm in the west of the Coerthan western highlands===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' What a beautiful land! Everything looks so clean! But my body shivers, as if I had fallen in a river.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' To feel cold all of the time─what an unpleasant feeling. Yes, most unpleasant. Let us hurry and find the leader of these dragonslayers.

===Speaking with Jantellot at the Convictory (Cutscene)===
'''Jantellot:''' An apprentice? Well, well. So, where is this aspiring adventurer?
'''Jantellot:''' By the Fury, an enormous armed crab! I knew this day would come! 'Tis my reckoning for the many nights I buttered and supped upon its kin. No matter─I have no regrets!

'''Vath Deftarm:''' What a strange greeting. <click> <click> I am the Vath deftarm, an adventurer who will perform any task you require. But I request firesand as my reward.

'''Jantellot:''' Hahaha, I must be dreaming. A talking crab, and one requesting ''firesand'' at that! You speak as if we have aught to spare.
'''Jantellot:''' Yet if this is a waking dream, then I might as well entertain this crab's offer. Slay the lesser dragons which plague our camp at present, and firesand you shall have.
'''Jantellot:''' There's little glory for us in slaying such frail fiends. Yet you, as a greenhorn, might find it a suitable challenge.

'''Vath Deftarm:''' But I have never killed a dragon before... Even a small one. <click> <click>

'''Jantellot:''' You said you would perform ''any'' task, did you not? I gave you my conditions. Go on, rid us of the dragon nuisance!

'''Vath Deftarm:''' How about a bundle of sapling branches for arrow shafts instead? Surely you are in need of quality arrows to take care of your foes yourself?

'''Jantellot:''' We have no need for primitive sticks when we can procure the finest arrows from Ishgard. If you will not do as bade, then I have no use for you.

'''Vath Deftarm:''' What should I do? I cannot kill a dragon. I could not even face the Onemind. Perhaps I cannot be useful after all...

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< That's not true. >'''
'''< Stop being dramatic. >'''

'''(Both)'''
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> But he asks an impossible task! How is one of my size able to rid his camp of an entire horde of─
'''Vath Deftarm:''' But of course! Killing the dragons is beyond my skills. But driving them away is the Vath's specialty!
'''Vath Deftarm:''' Master, I have a plan. Could I ask you to prepare a fire outside of the camp? I will return once I have found the herbs I need.

'''Jantellot:''' Herbs? For burning? I have heard tales of smoke screens used to keep dragons at bay, but never seen it done. I suppose you will need some firewood.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Janetellot:''' Now I find myself wondering if enormous talking crabs taste the same as silent ones. Hmmm... Tastes like crab, talks like people...

===Building a fire outside of the camp (Cutscene)===
'''Jantellot:''' Our scouts have spotted a group of lesser dragons approaching from beyond the ridge. Now then, where is that apprentice of yours?

'''Vath Deftarm:''' <pant> <pant> I found them, I found them!
'''Vath Deftarm:''' Set these withered herbs ablaze. It will create a thick smoke that offends the senses of dragons nearby. They will have no choice but to retreat.

'''Jantellot:''' This had better work. If I find you have wasted my time, I shall be most displeased.

'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> See for yourself.

====Cutscene====
'''Jantellot:''' By the Fury, it does work! The little bastards flitted away with their tails between their legs!
'''Jantellot:''' My apologies for doubting you, adventurer. We shall take as many herbs as you can offer—and you will receive due compensation, of course. Firesand, was it?

'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> Yes, oh yes! It is my pleasure to serve. If you have other tasks for us, please send word to our guild. In the west.

'''Jantellot:''' You have a guild! Excellent, excellent. If it means the Convictors will be spared their time to concentrate on the larger threats at hand, you can count on our patronage.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Jantellot:''' It may take some convincing to get the other Convictors to accept the Vath's incense. Its smell is ''quite'' potent. Mayhap if we place it near the latrines...

===Speaking with the Vath deftarm===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' I am glad I did not give up. Although it felt like slaying the dragons would be less work. My legs grew so cold in the snow. I feared they might freeze and snap!
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <shiver> Let us return home. I must speak with the storyteller about our new client.

===Reporting to the Vath Storyteller===
'''Vath Storyteller:''' <click> <click> The deftarm? He has not returned to the colony yet. He was not with you?
'''(Optional)'''
'''Vath Storyteller:''' <click> <click> We wonder where he is... The Adventurers' Guild requires his attention.

===Searching for the Vath deftarm near Loth ast Vath===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' <click> <click> Forgive me my lateness, Master. I was...unsure of the path.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Vath Storyteller:''' <click> <click> While stockpiles of firesand will prove useful for urgent situations involving dragons, we hope such a day never comes. A day when we must use the cannons more than once.

===Speaking with the Vath deftarm===
'''Vath Deftarm:''' We have secured much firesand for our cannons. Much firesand. The colony's defense will be guaranteed as long as we maintain relations with the dragonslayers.
'''Vath Deftarm:''' How vast this world is! And I am hungry to see more of it. But for now, the guild needs tending. Our clients have many tasks for us. Until next time, Master!

====Cutscene====
'''System:''' The Convictors are now clients of the Adventurers' Guild!

'''System:''' You have achieved Trusted reputation with the Vath.
'''System:''' New Vath tribal daily quests are now available from the Vath keeneye.
'''System:''' Furthermore, you will be able to undertake three additional quests from the Vath keeneye as a reputation rank bonus. This bonus is available until the daily reset time for society quests.
'''System:''' These additional quests will become available after accepting all current daily quests from the Vath keeneye. Please be advised that you cannot undertake these quests if you have no remaining allowances.
'''System:''' You now have access to a wider selection of wares from the Vath stickpeddler.

==Walkthrough==
Make sure you've equipped {{item icon|Ehcatl Wristgloves}} before attempting to craft the quest items.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Gerolt]] at [[Hyrstmill]].
*Present the [[Helm Component Materials|component materials]] to [[Drake (NPC)|Drake]].
*Synthesize [[Helm Component|helm components]].
*Deliver the helm components to Gerolt.
*Report to [[Tataramu]].
*Speak with [[Sezul Totoloc]].

==Journal==
*Tataramu wishes you to assist him in procuring another part for the Dezul Qualan.
**※The crafting portion of this quest is recommended for Disciples of the Hand level 15 and above.

*Tataramu has asked you to approach Gerolt with the task of forging the Dezul Qualan's unique steering mechanism. Take the helm component materials, and speak with the master weaponsmith at Hyrstmill.

*You attempt to speak with Gerolt, but the groaning artisan seems aggressively disinclined to hear your request. Present the component materials to Drake, Gerolt's sympathetic apprentice, and explain the task you have in mind.

*After listening to your request, Drake contrives a plan to help you ensnare his suffering master's attention. Craft four high-quality helm components from the materials returned to you by the apprentice, and then shove your inspiring handiwork right under Gerolt's nose.
**※In the event that the status Facility Access: Production wears off or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Drake.

*You present your helm components to Gerolt. Impressed and intrigued by the quality of your work, the master weaponsmith rouses himself from his slump and promises to forge the remainder of the steering mechanism. Return to Ehcatl and report to Tataramu.

*You return to Ehcatl and report your success to Tataramu, who is overjoyed with Gerolt's involvement in the project. The young man's joy is cut short, however, when his father, the chairman of Highwind Skyways, arrives with a squad of sellswords to drag him away from the Ixali camp. Speak with Sezul and learn the Ixal's thoughts.

*Chief Totoloc is enraged at Tatabaru's treatment of his own son, and resigned to postponing the final stages of the Dezul Qualan's construction. With the loss of their talented designer, it seems the Ehcatl Nine's ambitions must remain indefinitely grounded...

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
Tataramu: Greetings, [Forename]. With the ceruleum engine now integrated, the ''Dezul Qualan'' is entering the final stages of construction!
Tataramu: Not long now...not long at all. Once this airship is proven skyworthy, the field of aeronautics will never be the same again!
Tataramu: There is, however, another favor I would ask of you. Are you familiar with Gerolt, the master weaponsmith who resides in Hyrstmill?
Tataramu: We will have need of his legendary smithing talents if we are to complete our steering mechanism─the helm of the ''Dezul Qualan''. Only he can properly combine and align the necessary components.
Tataramu: Pray take these materials to Gerolt, and request that he aid us in our endeavor!

-quest accepted

-optional start
Tataramu: Gerolt is the preeminent weaponsmith of this age—with his handiwork aboard, the ''Dezul Qualan'' will fly as straight as the truest blade!

Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: What d'ye want now? That Jalzahn bloke come callin' again, did he? Well, I ain't got the patience for no mystic rubbish today. Me head feels like a kettle what some bastard's tryin' to pound the dents out of!

Drake (NPC)@Drake: Pay no mind to Master Gerolt, good {{alternatives|f=madam|m=sir}}. His temper is as short as his night of carousing was long...
Drake (NPC)@Drake: Now, what do you have that needs mending? A kettle? A cookpot? ...Nothing of the sort?

Drake (NPC)@Drake: Now, then, {{alternatives|f=madam|m=sir}}, what manner of task has brought you to our humble forge?

''The player hands over the {{i|Helm Component Materials (Key Item)}}.''

Drake (NPC)@Drake: ...Ah, a custom-made helm to fit a new breed of airship. Tricky. I can understand why you would seek Master Gerolt's expertise.
Drake (NPC)@Drake: Though he is first and foremost a forger of weapons, the masterpieces he creates demand a flair for innovation and an eye for the minutest of details. Should he turn his hand to crafting your vessel's helm, then I can promise you that the end result will be of unparalleled quality.
Drake (NPC)@Drake: As you have witnessed, however, the master's present demeanor falls somewhere short of amenable. Beyond the threat of debt collection, there is little that will convince him to take up his hammer...

Drake (NPC)@Drake: The sight of such painstaking workmanship should serve to stir the embers of professional curiosity in Master Gerolt's soul. Despite his grumbling, he is not one to back down from a challenge!
Drake (NPC)@Drake: Here, I shall return your materials. Consider the tools of our meager workshop to be at your disposal!

Popup: You now have access to the crafting facility.

Drake (NPC)@Drake: Some finely crafted components─say, four or so─may be just what is needed to shake Master Gerolt from his obstinate mood. I am certain he will agree to at least hear your request!

Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: Ugh, thank the gods. That drink-demon smitty's stopped usin' me head as an anvil... Eh? Still bloody here, are ye? I swear to the seven hells...

Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: What's this, then? Made these while I was tryin' not to puke on me apron, did ye? Fine bit of work.
Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: I never pegged ye for an artisan. But even with this level of skill, ye still felt the need to come to ol' Gerolt, eh?
Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: So, what's the job? Ye want me to take this handiwork of yers an' make a steering mechanism for yer flying boat, is that it? Hmmm.
Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: Alright, I'll do it. I know that fire in yer eyes, and bugger me if I don't respect it. ...Might be as I'll need some time to get the work done, though.
Gerolt (ARR)@Gerolt: I don't fancy makin' finicky adjustments until the fog of booze is good an' gone. Once I'm satisfied it's ready, though, I'll have the finished parts delivered to yer shipyard.

Drake (NPC)@Drake: Ah, that Master Gerolt accepted your commission is most wonderful! Perhaps in his revived enthusiasm, he might deign to share with me another small morsel of his trade. I believe I've learned all there is to know about repairing cookware...

===Reporting to Tataramu===
-cutscene start
Tataramu: [Forename], you're back! ...Master Gerolt agreed to the task? Excellent, excellent! I can think of no other major barriers preventing us from completing the ''Dezul Qualan''!
Tataramu: ...Hm? An airship...?

Trained Sellsword: All blades stand ready to begin the extraction!
Trained Sellsword: Spare no mercy for these feathered savages.

Sezul Totoloc: Squawk!? Who comes barging into Sezul's camp!?
Sezul Totoloc: Remember inviting armed thugs to {{alternatives|morning=breakfast|day=lunch|night=dinner}}, Sezul does not!

Trained Sellsword: Save your indignation, beastman! You'll roast for kidnapping Master Tataramu!

Sezul Totoloc: Kidnapping!? See you any shackles around his ankles? Free as a bird, Tataramu is!

Tataramu: How did you even find me here...? How many times must I tell you to leave me be!?

Tatabaru@???: Enough of this petulant nonsense, Tataramu!

Tataramu: Father!?

Sezul Totoloc: Father? Ah, chief of Highwind Skyways clan, you must be!

Tatabaru: ''This'' is the workshop for which you've caused so much fuss? There are no proper tools, no materials. Why, it barely qualifies as a dumping ground for our factories' refuse.
Tatabaru: What is it you wish to do, boy? If you want to tinker with airships, the company has them in abundance. I'll have Colson arrange for one of those new Garlond Ironworks models to be docked in a spare hangar...

Tataramu: No, Father! You don't understand! This is not some game or idle pursuit!

Sezul Totoloc: Squaek! Call my camp ground for dumping refuse, do you!? Shove ceruleum hose up chairman's backside, Sezul would! ...If already there, broomstick wasn't!

Tatabaru: ...What foul company you've been keeping. These birdmen have obviously deceived you—do you honestly believe such brutish creatures capable of building a functional airship?

Tataramu: You are the one guilty of deceit! The Ixal are the reason we were able to take to the skies in the first place! Why do you insist on hiding the truth?
Tataramu: Are you so afraid of damaging the company's reputation? Or are you simply too proud to admit that we borrowed the knowledge of "beastman savages"?
Tataramu: Fear and pride can only weigh us down! Only by casting aside such ballast can we truly reach the heights of which we are capable!

Tatabaru: I'll not stand here and be lectured by my own child! Cease this impudence at once!

Private Clerk: Sir, we really must be away. There are those two items of business in Limsa Lominsa that require your attention, followed by a dinner engagement with Counciller Turstin at the Coral Tower...

Tatabaru: Yes, yes, we are almost done here.
Tatabaru: Bring my son. If he decides to struggle, there is no need to be overly gentle.<br>...A small dose of discipline will do him good.

Tataramu: Father! You cannot do this! Please, listen to me...

Sezul Totoloc: Harm Tataramu, you will not! Stab you first with feathers, then pluck you, ''then'' roast you, Sezul will!
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Sezul Totoloc===
Sezul Totoloc: Squaaawk! Gone, Tataramu is! Taken! Strangled and stomped on, his dreams were!
Sezul Totoloc: For first time in Sezul's life, wish to harm featherless one, Sezul does! Share with them secrets of balloons, and now think they own skies, they do!
Sezul Totoloc: ''Dezul Qualan'' stays grounded! Integrate final components, we cannot!
Sezul Totoloc: Patience, now. Wait and hope for Tataramu's return, we must. Occupy ourselves with crafting needed parts. But if chairman sets foot into Ehcatl Nine's camp again...stuff into sack and beat bloody with tree branch, Sezul will!

*Deliver the Moogle Mollifier to the Malingering Moogle.
*Report to [[Mogek the Marvelous]].

==Journal==
*Mogek appears to be pondering something.

*Mogek is concerned about Mogwon, the manager of the restoration of Asah who is on the verge of pulling out his fur in frustration. He requests that you travel to the area and inquire as to what is troubling the poor moogle.

*Mogwon tells you that the restoration is not proceeding nearly as fast as expected, and an exceptionally lazy moogle is to blame for the delay. This particular moogle uses all manner of excuses to put the work he has been allocated, and Mogwon pleads with you to go and speak with him, mender to mender.

*You try to engage the moogle, who is performing stretches in what he calls his “preparatory routine.” He chastises you for disrupting his peace and quiet before flying off to hide behind another building. Find the moogle and try to /psych him up to encourage him to get back to work.

*You try your best to encourage the moogle to return to his tasks, but he will have none of it. Threatening that no work will be done if he is disturbed again, he flies away to hide behind another building. Encouragement having been proven ineffective, take a firmer hand and give the moogle a /slap.

*Tired of the moogle's excuses, you find him once more and try to slap some sense into him. Initially at a loss for words, he quickly recovers and accuses Mogwon of hypocrisy and refuses to follow his orders. Return to Mogwon and tell him you may have unintentionally exacerbated the situation.

*Mogwon decides to follow Master Tarresson's advice and bribe the moogle with a splendid inducement, in the hopes that it might mollify and convince him to return to work. He asks you to craft such a piece and deliver it to the moogle saying it's from Mogwon himself.

*The moogle is overwhelmed with joy at the sight of your crafted gift. He soon reflects on his bad behavior and promises he will put more effort into his duties. Report to Mogek that you have solved Mogwon's problem.

*Mogek seems somewhat surprised that a managerial moogle like Mogwon sought out advice on motivation from Tarresson. Knowing Tarresson is a bit of a trickster himself, Mogek shudders to think about what would happen if Mogwon asked him for such advice.
==Dialogue==
{{section-stub|quest|reason=Dialogue, related-npcs and cutscene-npcs need review}}

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
MOGEK: Hello, [Forename]. I need your help. It's about Mogwon. The last I saw him, he looked as if he was going to pull out all of his fur in frustration.
MOGEK: If moogles could go bald, he would be the first, kupo! Might I trouble you to go to Asah and ask what is troubling him?

Mogwon: Thank you for coming, [Forename]! I trust Mogek sent you to inquire about the progress here in Asah? While Bahrr Lehs is nearing completion, I can't say I am content with our pace here.
Mogwon: Thank you for coming, [Forename]! I trust Mogek sent you to inquire about the progress here in Asah? While the plaza at Bahrr Lehs has been completely restored, I can't say I am content with our pace here.
Mogwon: In fact, there is one moogle in particular who is not only a lackluster bricklayer, but a master procrastinator! He always has some sort of excuse for why he can't be bothered to put hammer to nail. I've tried everything!
Mogwon: He doesn't like to listen to me, but he might lend an ear to a fellow mender, an elite one at that. Perhaps you can try giving him some words of encouragement?
Mogwon: He's not hard to miss. He's always hiding behind the buildings so that I can't clearly see what he's up to.
Mogwon: I've begged and pleaded and even tried working up some tears, but nothing worked. Maybe he'll listen to you.

SULKINGMOOGLE02318: Up, down, turn around, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in...
SULKINGMOOGLE02318: Shhh! Can't you see I am doing my preparatory routine? A mender must be of sound mind and body, and that is achieved through profound contemplation. I must have peace and quiet!

System: The malingering moogle flutters away, muttering under his breath.
System: The malingering moogle is apparently one tough kupo nut to crack. Search for and try to '''psych''' him up.
System: Despite your best efforts, the moogle continues to ignore you. Perhaps if you were to '''psych''' him up, it would put a spring into his step.

SULKINGMOOGLE02318: You again, kupo? I told you, if you disturb me, then I won't be able to focus and then no work will get done today! Now I have to start all over again.

System: The malingering moogle scoffs at you as he flutters away.
System: An expert {{alternatives|craftswoman|craftsman}} does not deserve this kind of treatment. Find the moogle once more and '''slap''' some sense into him.
System: Despite your best efforts, the moogle continues to ignore you. Perhaps if you were to '''slap''' him, he would pay attention.

SULKINGMOOGLE02318: D—Did you just... What... H-How can {{alternatives|she|he}} slap, kupo!?
SULKINGMOOGLE02318: Mogwon says ''I'm'' the one slacking off? For a moogle who does nothing but delegate all day, he has some nerve, kupo! If he's so fixated on pushing me around then he can forget it! Hmph!
SULKINGMOOGLE02318: <mumble> ...knew I should've become a bard... <grumble>

Mogwon: Any luck, kupo?
Mogwon: You ''slapped'' him? Wow, and I thought I had some pent-up frustrations. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, it appears to have had the opposite effect. Hmmm...maybe Master Tarresson was right about trying a more traditional method.
Mogwon: Bribery! If you crafted him a shiny new tool, surely he would feel obligated to put more effort into the restoration?
Mogwon: Bribery! If you fashioned him a fancy set of work equipment, surely he would feel obligated to put more effort into the restoration?
Mogwon: Bribery! If you whipped up an ointment to soothe his paws, surely he would feel obligated to put more effort into the reconstruction?
Mogwon: He may not deserve it, but an angry mender is worse than a lazy mender.
Mogwon: If you need any materials, let me know. Oh, and be sure to tell him it's from me when you give it to him.
Mogwon: We have plenty of materials on hand, you need only say the word, kupo!
Mogwon: Wow, you've really outdone yourself, kupo! This will perk him up for sure.

SULKINGMOOGLE02318: Oh no, it's Mogwon's personal moogle admonisher! Go away, kupo!
SULKINGMOOGLE02318: A present? <gasp> Why, it's beautiful! I...I don't know what to say, kupo!
SULKINGMOOGLE02318: Mogwon had this made just for me? Well, uh, aren't I feeling embarrassed. After all those things I said, too...
SULKINGMOOGLE02318: ...Well, I suppose I could approach my mending with a liiittle more gusto, kupo! Mogwon can be demanding at times, but to give me such a nice gift shows he truly cares. Thank you for bringing it to me.

Mogwon: Worked like a charm, kupo! Master Tarresson calls this the “stick and krakka root” method. He said that it is used to train chocobos to behave themselves, but it is apparently effective on moogles, too.

SULKINGMOOGLE02318: Never will I be fancy-free!♪<br>No one swings their hammer as dutifully as me!♪

MOGEK: Did you find out what was bothering Mogwon?
MOGEK: Somehow I'm not surprised, there's one in every bunch.
MOGEK: Although it is unexpected that a moogle as serious as Mogwon would take advice from Master Tarresson. I shudder to think what other tricks he might learn.

System: Normal-quality items crafted in the course of this quest serve no purpose and cannot be sold. It is recommended that you discard them.

===Accepting the quest===
Darlfort: Good morrow, {{alternatives|f=ma'am|m=sir}}. I'm terribly sorry to ask this of a patron, but could you perchance find the time to make a delivery for me?
Darlfort: Just yesterday, you see, a customer—not a regular, I believe he's visiting from outside the Crystarium—came asking after a particularly strong spirit that we're known to serve. At the time, we had just run out, but I offered that our supplier would have more ready today.
Darlfort: He told me that that would be fine, but that he would require it be delivered to his lodgings. He then paid quite a handsome sum in advance...before consuming more than a half-dozen pints of ale in short order and wandering off.
Darlfort: The whole experience was incredibly odd. I do, of course, fully intend to provide him with the alcohol that he paid for—but I also cannot help but be concerned by his behavior. It seems to me that someone ought to check on him.
Darlfort: Alas, between brewing and serving the customers, I can't seem to find time to slip away. Could I impose upon you to deliver the liquor in my stead, and inquire as to whether the man is quite well?
Darlfort: Eidith should have the alcohol in question ready at Musica Universalis. And as for our eccentric patron—you will find him at the Catenaries, assuming he gave me the correct information.
-quest accepted

===Obtain the potent liquor from Eidith===
-optional start
Darlfort: By his conduct, I cannot help but wonder—no, best not to speculate.
-optional end
Eidith: Here on behalf of Darlfort? Aye, I have the liquor right here.
Eidith: You'll be delivering this to a customer at the Catenaries, right? In that case, you'd do well to speak with the manager there. He's a helpful sort—should make sure it gets to the right person.

===Deliver the potent liquor to the Catenaries manager===
-optional start
Eidith: Tell Darlfort I appreciate the business, as always.
-optional end
Catenaries Manager: How might I be of service?
Catenaries Manager: Ah, I see. That guest is somewhat...indisposed, I'm afraid to say. But I will ensure that the liquor is delivered into his hands, if you will entrust it to me.

''The player hands over the {{i|Potent Liquor}}.''

Catenaries Manager: As to his condition—it does seem to be rather severe. His cries echoed through the corridors late into the evening.
Catenaries Manager: Judging by what I have glimpsed, I fear that it is a mere matter of time ere he turns...
Catenaries Manager: But you need not concern yourself with that. Rest assured that we have matters well in hand here.

===Speak with Darlfort===
-optional start
Catenaries Manager: I will see to it that the alcohol reaches the intended recipient with all haste.
-optional end
Darlfort: A matter of time before he turns, you say... I suppose that does explain it.
Darlfort: It's hardly a wonder that he turned to drink, I'm sure you would agree. In the throes of such agony and despair...what is a man to do?
Darlfort: I know not if it will bring him solace, in the end... But nevertheless, I thank you for making the delivery.

===Accepting the quest===
Guard Quartermaster: I hate to be abrupt, but—can you help me?
Guard Quartermaster: Thank y— Oh goodness, it's you! The one who turned the tide at Holminster Switch! Well, I feel doubly bad about this now, but I have little choice. I need any help that I can get.
Guard Quartermaster: Thanks to the eaters, everything not in ruins is in disarray, and I'm working to determine what materiel we have, but that requires sifting through it all! And if I don't know what we ''need'' it will be fruitless, as I won't be able to order, and—
Guard Quartermaster: Ahem. In short, I need you to meet me at the Northern Staging Point. Please.
-quest accepted

===Speak with the guard quartermaster===
Guard Quartermaster: We'll be assessing the situation out here. Though it may save time if you were to first tell me what destruction you personally witnessed?
Guard Quartermaster: Many structures burned or otherwise damaged in the fighting... Yes, I thought as much. I may look into procuring tents so that the laborers come to assist in the reconstruction need not journey back and forth each day—that ought to save time.
Guard Quartermaster: I'd be curious to know whether anything out here actually has survived. Might I ask you to survey the northern area and tell me if you find any materiel or other supplies that might still be fit for use?
Guard Quartermaster: Thank you. Please meet me here when you've finished.

===Search for usable supplies at the Northern Staging Point===
System: You peer into the crate to find that it, fortuitously, contains several undamaged tents.
System: You examine the rack, and notice that many of the weapons that remain are, as yet, undamaged.
System: You pick up the cane, and see that it has been weathered by what must have been many years of use.

===Deliver the knobbly cane to the guard quartermaster===
Guard Quartermaster: Finished your inspection, have you? What did you find?

''The player hands over the {{i|Knobbly Cane}}.''

Guard Quartermaster: Oh, shepherds around here use this sort of cane. It must belong to one of the residents. Or former residents, now, I suppose...
Guard Quartermaster: We can return it to them, though I imagine they'd rather have their land and livestock back. What else was there?
Guard Quartermaster: Good to hear that I shouldn't need to procure any fresh tents. The weapons are less immediately useful, though I will of course have them collected. It seems that I'll primarily need to order tools, as there were none to be found in the areas I checked, either.
Guard Quartermaster: I very much appreciate your help—this has gone much more swiftly for your presence. Would you accept a small reward? I have a bit of coin stored for just such an occasion back at the fort.

===Speak with the guard quartermaster===
Guard Quartermaster: And now the real work begins. Fighting off the sin eaters was no small feat, but the task of rebuilding seems almost more daunting.
Guard Quartermaster: Nothing for it but to grit our teeth and get to it, however. For the sake of everyone in Lakeland.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Tarresson]].
*Deliver the letter to [[Handeloup]] at the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly]].
*Speak with [[Vaincannet]].
*Deliver the statuette to Tarresson at [[Bahrr Lehs]].
*Speak with [[Mogmul Mogbelly]].
*Synthesize [[Statue Supplies]] {{HQ}}.
*Show the Statue Supplies {{HQ}} to Master Mogzin.

==Journal==
*Master Mogzin is looking frantically around the Mogmender camp.

*At long last, the Mogmenders are ready to begin building the statue demanded by Gullinbursti. Tarresson and Mogzin have been waiting for you to discuss how to begin construction.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*Although Mogzin would like to begin work immediately, you realize that although you know what the statue stood for, you do not know what it looked like. After mulling over the question for a moment, you come to the conclusion that it likely depicted a scene of man and dragon living in harmony. However, with all such statues having been destroyed years ago, there is nothing to base yours on. Tarresson suggests that maybe the Temple Knights possess something that could be of use, and instructs you to go to the Congregation to ask Ser Handeloup if he can part with a heretical idol. In case the knight is hesitant to fulfill your request, Tarresson gives you a letter which he assures you will convince Ser Handeloup to do so.

*As Tarresson suspected, Handeloup initially refuses your request, but changes his mind after reading the contents of the letter. In it, Tarresson has written that any figures taken from the Churning Mists should be returned to the moogles, as they have been tasked with taking care of the ancient ruins which dot the region. You ask how Tarresson knows so much about Ishgardian politics, prompting Handeloup to reveal that the humble stonemason was once in fact the count of House Dzemael. The commander agrees that Tarresson's reasoning is sound, and grants you leave to request an idol from his subordinate Vaincannet.

*The attendant rummages through a collection of similar-looking statuettes and hands you one. Although it seems there are many others like it, you hold in your hand the image which will be immortalized at Bahrr Lehs.

*Tarresson exclaims that the idol is the perfect model to base the statue on, and observes that you have returned without the letter he sent you with. It is then that he formally introduces himself as the former Count de Dzemael, and he confides that the work with the Mogmenders has been an ideal way for him to spend his time since stepping down from the position of count. He returns to the matter of the statue, and tasks you with crafting yet another set of supplies. Mogmul awaits with any materials you require.

*Mogmul seems eager to have the statue completed, if only for the fact that it means he will at last be able to eat something. However, he promises to stay vigilant until your work is done.
**※In the event you lose the ingredients or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Mogmul Mogbelly.

*Mogzin applies the final touches to the statue, and everyone stands back to look in pride upon their accomplishment. Just then, Gullinbursti descends from the skies to pass judgment on the work of man and moogle. However, while he does not deride your efforts, it is a far cry from the accolades that Mogzin had hoped to receive. The dragon promises not to interfere further, but as he flies away, you cannot help but think that your work is far from over.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Master Mogzin:''' Where could he be... Where could he be? Oh, there you are, [Forename]! Tarresson's ready to discuss how to begin building the statue, but we dare not start without you, kupo! Now, let's see what he has to say!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Master Mogzin:''' Gullinbursti will be moved to tears by our work! Can dragons cry, kupo? Ah, never mind all that. I suppose we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. Let's first discuss where to begin!

===Speaking with Tarresson (Cutscene)===
'''Tarresson:''' [Forename], how good of you to join us! Once Ohl Deeh graces us with his presence we can begin our discussion. Ah, here he is now.

'''Ohl Deeh:''' Greetings. For what purpose did you summon me here? Do you require my strength once more?

'''Tarresson:''' Indeed, Ohl Deeh, we would avail ourselves of your legendary strength. All of our work thus far has brought us to this decisive moment, and without your stout wings I fear we will have little hope of success!

'''Ohl Deeh:''' Then of course my wings are yours! I would never stand idly by as my friends struggle! No task is too large for me!

'''Master Mogzin:''' I knew we could count on your support, kupo! Finally, we are ready to begin work on the Mogmenders' first official commission: the statue requested by Gullinbursti!

'''Tarresson:''' A monument to friendship and peace, now lost to time. With their new tools, the Mogmenders are working with more vigor than I have ever seen. I believe they are more than ready to rise to this challenge!

'''Master Mogzin:''' We are ready, kupo! Ready to build a statue! A statue of...of what, exactly?

'''Tarresson:''' It is the answer to that question which I have been contemplating, my dear Mogzin. Unfortunately, we have no pictures, no stories, and no remnants on which we can base the statue's form. We know only that it stood more than one thousand years ago, during the age when dragon and man lived together in harmony.

'''Master Mogzin:''' Could it be a kupa tree? Or an enormous cloud mallow? Hmmm...

'''Ohl Deeh:''' Do not be daft, Mogzin! The statue likely depicted dragon and man. Brother once told me many such sculptures used to dot the land.

'''Tarresson:''' Ohl Deeh, I must say I had much the same thought. What better subjects could there have been to immortalize a bond which, at the time, must have seemed unbreakable?

'''Master Mogzin:''' Even so, there's still so much we don't know! How were they posed? How many were there? No statues remain to draw inspiration from! Tarresson, do any survive down below?

'''Tarresson:''' Well, there is the relief at Falcon's Nest, but that work is much too recent to be of use. However, there may be another way.
'''Tarresson:''' Our mutual friends, the Temple Knights, have spent generations chasing heretics. Doubtless they have seized at least a few of their idols during their ceaseless struggle.
'''Tarresson:''' [Forename], there is much work for us to do here at Bahrr Lehs. I would ask you to journey to Ishgard and ask our dear Handeloup if he can part with an idol. I have confidence he will oblige your request.
'''Tarresson:''' However, if perchance he is hesitant to do so, hand him this letter. I believe it shall prove to be adequately convincing.

'''Master Mogzin:''' And what of us? While [Forename] is away, what should we do? Continue our stonemasonry practice?

'''Tarresson:''' No, my dear Mogzin, there are preparations to be made. Speak with Mogmul, and ready the stone we will use for the statue. Ohl Deeh, pray help Mogzin with his duties.
'''Tarresson:''' For my part, I shall begin drawing up plans for the statue's base. Well then, I look forward to meeting again. May we all return with good news!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Tarresson:''' Make haste to the Congregation, and ask if Handeloup can spare an idol. If he insists on being difficult, simply hand him the letter I gave you. Trust me, it shall suffice.

===Delivering the letter to Handeloup at the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly===
'''Handeloup:''' You require an idol seized from the heretics? Ah... My apologies, [Forename], but such a request is not within my power to grant.
'''Handeloup:''' Pray understand that much as I would like to offer you a helping hand, there are some matters where my reach is limited.
'''''<Hand Over Letter to Handeloup>'''''
'''Handeloup:''' A letter from Lord Tarresson? ...He writes that the figures in question were taken unlawfully from the Churning Mists, and that the moogles, as caretakers of the ancient ruins therein, are obliged to petition their return.
'''Handeloup:''' A rather more bureaucratic approach than I anticipated, but I would expect no less from a lord of House Dzemael. As skilled with his words as he is with a hammer and chisel.
'''Handeloup:''' He has not told you? That cunning old fox is none other than Tarresson de Dzemael—formerly ''Count'' Tarresson de Dzemael. Although he has long since stepped down, he still does not scruple to intercede in various affairs.
'''Handeloup:''' In any event, his reasoning is sound, and I see no harm in following his plan. Speak with my man Vaincannet. He will provide you with what you need.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Handeloup:''' It seems the restoration is proceeding apace. Your duty is almost at an end, [Forename]. I hope it has been a worthwhile journey so far.

===Vaincannet===
'''Vaincannet:''' You require an idol, yes? I believe this one should do—they all look the same to me. Dreadfully ugly, isn't it? Well, I suppose there's no accounting for taste.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Master Mogzin:''' We've found the perfect stones, kupo! Have you returned with something we can use? Oh, I can't wait until we begin building!

'''Ohl Deeh:''' If you need any more help carrying stones, I'm the dragon for you! I can do that all day!

===Delivering the statuette to Tarresson at Bahrr Lehs===
'''Tarresson:''' You are returned! Was Handeloup willing to oblige our request?
'''''<Hand Over Heretical Statuette>'''''
'''Tarresson:''' This is an object of heresy and untold evil? It seems harmless enough to me, and the craftsmanship is superb! I do believe this will provide the perfect model for our statue. Excellent work, my friend!
'''Tarresson:''' However, I cannot help but notice you no longer have the letter I wrote. I suppose that means Ser Handeloup told you who I am, that a simple epistle would sway a man of his standing.
'''Tarresson:''' Well then, let me apologize for the belated introduction. I am Tarresson de Dzemael, erstwhile count of my house. I am happy to say my son now enjoys that burden, leaving me to spend my days as I please.
'''Tarresson:''' I try to stay busy, of course, and our project here has been a boon in that regard. However, do not think this some whim born of idleness. No, this is how I wish to live out my twilight years. As my true self. As a craftsman.
'''Tarresson:''' House Dzemael was built upon a foundation of mastery. Mastery of wood, steel, and stone. From a young age I strove to learn the techniques of my forefathers. Alas, once I became count, I was forced to trade my hammer and chisel for quill and parchment.
'''Tarresson:''' A count's craft is to uphold the honor of his house, his tools, his wit, and his wiles. I was bound to the eternal struggle for glory and prestige, and as the months bled into years my days as an artisan faded into half-forgotten memory.
'''Tarresson:''' It was in this single-minded state I raised my sons, teaching them naught of the joy of crafting. Perhaps by imparting my knowledge to others, I am in some small way trying to alleviate that regret...
'''Tarresson:''' Hahaha, I have gone on too long again! Truly, I thank you for listening to this old man's ramblings. Now, let us return to the task at hand! The statue must be built, and I have a job perfectly suited to your skills.

'''(If Armorer, Goldsmith, or Blacksmith)'''
'''Tarresson:''' Our sculpture will require sturdy metal beams to support the weight of the stone. Although they will remain unseen by most, they are nevertheless among the most vital components.

'''(If Carpenter, Weaver, or Leatherworker)'''
'''Tarresson:''' A sculpture must be polished to a mirror sheen if it is to be remembered. And to that end, I would have you make the materials required to do so.

'''(If Alchemist or Culinarian)'''
'''Tarresson:''' What purpose would our efforts serve if the sculpture we build cannot withstand the elements? To prevent that from happening, I would ask that you prepare a coating to shield our work from the harsh winds and rains of this region.

'''(All)'''
'''Tarresson:''' As always, Mogmul shall provide you with aught you require. Bring your completed work to Mogzin, and we shall make use of it at once!

====Optional====
'''Tarresson:''' Well, I believe we all have our work to do. Receive your supplies from Mogmul, and bring your finished work to Mogzin.

'''Master Mogzin:''' You're helping us with the statue, kupo? Brilliant! Truth be told, a task this large is a bit intimidating. Still, I look forward to the day when the Mogmenders can face such a project without fear!

===Speaking with Mogmul Mogbelly===
'''Mogmul Mogbelly:''' Did you see them moving those huge stones, kupo? Just watching them made my belly rumble. But I will do my duty! Until the statue is complete, I'll be here to give you whatever you need!

===Showing the statue supplies to Master Mogzin===
'''Master Mogzin:''' [Forename], it goes without saying, but the Mogmenders are grateful for all your help so far, kupo! Just a little bit more, and we'll have finished. So, let's see what you've made!
'''''<Hand Over Statue Supplies>'''''
'''Master Mogzin:''' You've certainly outdone yourself this time! Gullinbursti will surely be in awe at the quality of our work! And now, all that's left is to build, build, build!

====Cutscene====
'''Master Mogzin:''' We've done it, kupo! Can you feel it? This must be how the landlords and skylords felt the moment they built this plaza ages ago. I can only imagine what Gullinbursti's reaction will be!

'''Gullinbursti:''' Little ones, how fares your work? If it is too difficult, simply say so. I shall allow you to return home before I raze this place to the ground.

'''Master Mogzin:''' On the contrary, Gullinbursti, you could not have arrived at a more opportune time! The statue is complete, and I daresay even more majestice than it was before. Behold!

'''Gullinbursti:''' I have not seen this statue in a long time. Yes, it is as it was. Almost.
'''Gullinbursti:''' Your work is...adequate. As promised, I shall leave you be. Continue in peace.

'''Master Mogzin:''' Almost? Adequate? But why would he say that, kupo?

====Cutscene====
'''System:''' Thanks to your efforts, the statue has been erected in Bahrr Lehs. It would seem your work is complete, but Gullinbursti's cryptic words suggest otherwise.

'''System:''' You have achieved Honored reputation with the Mogmenders.
'''System:''' New moogle society daily quests are now available from Mogek the Marvelous at the plaza.
'''System:''' Furthermore, you will be able to undertake three additional quests from Mogek the Marvelous as a reputation rank bonus. This bonus is available until the daily reset time for allied society quests.
'''System:''' These additional quests will become available after accepting all current daily quests from Mogek the Marvelous. Please be advised that you cannot undertake these quests if you have no remaining allowances.
'''System:''' You now have access to a wider selection of wares from Mogmul Mogbelly.

==Steps==
*Speak with the [[House Borel Steward|House Borel steward]].

*Return to [[Fortemps Manor]].

*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Now that the excitement of recent days has given way to some semblance of new normality, Ser [[Aymeric de Borel]], fresh from his appointment as lord speaker of the House of Lords, has extended to you a formal invitation to dine with him at his estate. It would seem that your long-overdue drink with the lord commander is at last at hand -- should you so desire.

*The evening at [[Borel Manor]] surpasses all expectation. In between several courses of the finest cuisine you have ever tasted, you and Ser Aymeric discuss subjects great and small. The conversation flows as smoothly as the wine, and for the first time in ages, you feel at peace. Yet all good things must come to an end, and this respite is no exception, for when a [[House Fortemps]] herald suddenly arrives and declares that [[Thancred]] has returned with an injured maiden who may not live through the night, you know what you must do.

*The maiden is revealed to be none other than [[Alisaie]], [[Alphinaud]]'s twin sister, who had long ago decided to part ways with her brother. Thancred explains that after tracking the [[Warriors of Darkness]] for some time, he discovered that she too had attempted to learn more of the enigmatic adventurers. Alas, her efforts were rather less subtle than his, and Thancred was forced to spirit her away to [[Ishgard]]. Struck by a poisoned arrow as they fled, Alisaie now teeters on the brink of death, but before being passed into the care of the chirurgeons, she musters the strength to warn you of [[Garuda]]'s imminent summoning in [[Xelphatol]] -- and of the [[primal]]'s planned death at the hands of the Warriors of Darkness.

*Realizing that he can do naught else for his sister, Alphinaud places his faith in Captain [[Hospitalier Captain Abel|Whitecape]] and bids you join him in addressing a matter whose conclusion you may yet influence. The Warriors of Darkness are conspiring with the [[Ascians]] to goad the [[Ixal]] into summoning their patron deity, and only you have the power to stop them.

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' {{alternatives|f=Mistress|m=Master}} [Surname], {{alternatives|f=Mistress|m=Master}} [Surname]! You are come at a most excellent time.
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' An invitation from a truly ''preeminent'' personage was delivered to the manor but a short while ago. Would that you had been present to receive it, but in any event...
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Ser Aymeric de Borel, lord speaker of the House of Lords, lord commander of the Temple Knights, and viscount of House Borel, cordially invites {{alternatives|f=Mistress|m=Master}} [Surname] to dine with him at his estate.
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' You seem surprised. The messenger assured me that his lord had broached the subject with you at an earlier date—when the arrangements for the peace conference were still being finalized...
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Of course, the intervening moons afforded little opportunity for leisure. But with the happy advent of peace, 'tis plain the lord commander sees no further cause to delay. What say you?

Question: What will you say?

> I should be glad to accept!
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Indeed, who would not! You will forgive me if I seem envious. Ahem!
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' I shall send word of your acceptance to Borel Manor at once. When you are ready, pray report to the Astrologicum. They will have someone escort you the rest of the way.

> I would, but I haven't the foggiest what to wear. Any thoughts?
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Y-You would ask me!? Well, I...I am sure that as a personal friend of Ser Aymeric, you are at liberty to wear whatever you deem appropriate. That said...
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' “When in doubt, a man of note could do far worse than an alpine coat!”
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' ...At least, that is what Lord Emmanellain has been heard to say. I-I assume the same holds true for ladies. Ahem. When you are ready, pray report to the Astrologicum. A man of House Borel shall be waiting near there to escort you the rest of the way.

> To be honest, I'd rather not...
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' You─ You would rather ''not''? Well...that is a great shame. The messenger went out of his way to express how very much his lord was looking forward to the occasion...
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Forgive me, but might I trouble you to reconsider, if only as a courtesy to your ''friend'', Ser Aymeric? At the very least, 'twill be an opportunity to sample the finest in Ishgardian cuisine. Should you choose to heed my counsel, a man of House Borel will be waiting for you near the Astrologicum.

-quest accepted
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Pray look for Ser Aymeric's man near the Astrologicum. He will escort you to Borel Manor.

'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' Now that my lord Artoirel has assumed the mantle of count, the mood of the manor has shifted somewhat. I do not mean for the worse, of course!
'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' Though my lord seeks to succeed his father in word and deed, the demands of a new era necessarily dictate a new direction. And wheresoever the count leads us, the servants of House Fortemps shall follow!

'''House Fortemps Steward:''' Welcome home, {{alternatives|f=Mistress|m=Master}} [Surname]. Ah, I see you yet find it passing strange to be greeted in such a manner.
'''House Fortemps Steward:''' Upon assuming the mantle of count, my lord Artoirel's first instruction to the servants was to greet the greatest friend of House Fortemps as a member of the family.

'''Alphinaud:''' 'Twould seem that our dear friend Estinien has slipped from his sickbed and vanished from the city.
'''Alphinaud:''' Were it anyone else I might expect a word of farewell, but such is not his way. Nevertheless, I shall thuroughly berate him for his lack of manners the next time we meet!

'''Tataru:''' When the Horde began their assault, I made sure to have my trusty grimoire to hand and incantations at the ready!
'''Tataru:''' It had been some time since I last conjured Carbuncle, however, and...well, it's probably best that we not discuss how that ended.

'''Lucia:''' Your deeds have scattered the dark clouds that have long loomed over Ishgard. On my oath, we shall not squander the bright future you have won for us...
-optional end

===Speaking with the House Borel steward===
'''House Borel Steward:''' Greetings and well met, {{alternatives|f=Mistress|m=Master}} [Surname].
'''House Borel Steward:''' I have the honor and the privilege to serve as head steward of House Borel—though, admittedly, our staff is somewhat smaller than those of other noble families...being countable on one hand.
'''House Borel Steward:''' Ahem! My lord will be overjoyed to hear that you have accepted his invitation. As you will soon see, we have spared no expense.
'''House Borel Steward:''' I daresay a {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}} of action such as yourself enjoys nary a moment's respite. Aye, the battlefield beckons even now, I am sure, but for this day, we bid you lay down your burdens and raise a glass to peace and prosperity.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Aymeric:''' To think the moogles would prove such harsh taskmasters! Forgive me, I did not know you had suffered so in your quest for the horn.
'''Aymeric:''' I must say, your spirited accounts always come as a welcome change from the arid reports which fill my days.
[The steward offers wine to the player, which they decline.]
'''Aymeric:''' Though I have lived in these lands my entire life, to hear you speak of them, there is much and more I have yet to see. Truly, yours was a marvelous journey.

Question: What will you say?

> Though perhaps a bit long for my liking.
'''Aymeric:''' Long and arduous, aye. Not unlike the journey that Ishgard has at last embarked upon─thanks to the efforts of you and yours.

> Why not join me on the next?
'''Aymeric:''' Hah! Well...truth be told, when I think back on the sweeping vistas of the Churning Mists, I do feel some slight pangs of wanderlust...
'''Aymeric:''' Alas, much as I would like to accept your invitation, I fear my present duties with the House of Lords demand my undivided attention. Someday, perhaps.

> It wasn't all sunshine and lemoncakes.
'''Aymeric:''' Nor would I presume to imply otherwise. Neither I nor any man alive can truly understand what you have endured, and I cannot say with any confidence that I would have acquitted myself as well under the circumstances—much less grown stronger for it.
---

'''Aymeric:''' By your deeds, you have helped us to lay the foundation for lasting reform.
'''Aymeric:''' The formation of the republic is but the beginning, for it is not only our system of governance which must needs change. We the people must learn to let go of our hatreds and rise above our bloody past.
'''Aymeric:''' I only pray that I live long enough to see us achieve some measure of success—that I might know the lost did not die in vain.
'''Aymeric:''' I can still see you there, on the Steps of Faith, striding fearlessly towards the wyrm... If you could do that, who are we to balk at the challenges ahead?
'''Aymeric:''' The question of how best to strengthen ties with the other great nations of Eorzea has been debated at length in the Lords and Commons of late.
'''Aymeric:''' As you may imagine, maintaining stability during this period of historic upheaval is our paramount concern. Nevertheless, we are greatly indebted to the Alliance for their support during the grand melee, and it would be remiss of us not to repay their faith in kind.
'''Aymeric:''' Of course, we owe you the greatest debt of all, and it is my hope in extending our support to you and the Scions, we might also express our gratitude to our neighbors—nay, our fellow Eorzeans, whom we pray you will continue to protect.
'''Aymeric:''' The Lords and Commons agree on very little, but not a soul in either house begrudges your order this offer of patronage. For all you have done and will do, we thank you.
'''Aymeric:''' ...May I ask a personal question?
'''Aymeric:''' Now that the dust has settled, what will you do? Not as a Scion, I mean, but...what do you want for yourself?

'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Lord Commander, pray forgive the interruption!

'''Aymeric:''' News from House Fortemps?

'''House Fortemps Knight:''' An urgent message for the Warrior of Light. I was instructed to deliver it without delay.
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Master Thancred returned to the manor a short time ago, bearing an injured maiden.
'''House Fortemps Knight:''' Master Leveilleur and Mistress Tataru are tending to her wounds, but they like not her chances. Respectfully, my lord—they have requested the Warrior of Light's immediate presence.

'''Aymeric:''' You must go to them, my friend. And I shall go with you.

'''Papalymo@Papalymo (Narration):''' For every ending marks a new beginning.
'''Papalymo@Papalymo (Narration):''' From tragedy and sacrifice we rise to greet a new dawn. As did {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}}.
'''Papalymo@Papalymo (Narration):''' Only to be drawn unto another battlefield, another cause, as if by fate...
-cutscene end

===Returning to Fortemps Manor===
-voiced cutscene start
'''Aymeric:''' Is that...?

'''Thancred:''' Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister.
'''Thancred:''' She ran afoul of the Warriors of Darkness.
'''Thancred:''' I had been tracking them since the ceremony at Falcon's Nest. Little did I know I was not the only one.
'''Thancred:''' Evidently she had learned of their activities and attempted to shadow them on her own. Poorly.
'''Thancred:''' I rescued her in the Twelveswood, and together we fled north. But though I made every effort to cover our tracks, they caught up with us on the Ishgardian border, and in the ensuing struggle, Alisaie took an arrow to the shoulder.
'''Thancred:''' 'Twas only after we had made good our escape that I realized it was poisoned...

'''Alphinaud:''' Thank you for coming so quickly. And you, Ser Aymeric.

'''Aymeric:''' Think nothing of it. How is she?

'''Alphinaud:''' We have done all we can for now. Although the immediate danger has passed, the poison yet lingers in her blood...
'''Alphinaud:''' We came to Eorzea together, hoping to bring salvation to the realm our grandfather gave his life to protect.
'''Alphinaud:''' But when confronted with the bitter realities of its politics and its petty powermongers, she was driven to anger—and to doubt.
'''Alphinaud:''' She refused to become embroiled in what she termed Eorzea's "squabbles," and distanced herself from the Scions.
'''Alphinaud:''' Though she remained hopeful of a brighter future, she would walk her own path. Would that it had not been so perilous...
'''Alphinaud:''' For all our differences, she is as dedicated as any Scion to the salvation of Eorzea. But more than that, she is my sister...
'''Alphinaud:''' To be reunited with her, only to lose her forever... Gods, even to speak the words...

'''Aymeric:''' Take heart, Master Alphinaud. She will be attended to by our most skilled chirurgeons.
'''Aymeric:''' Bear Mistress Leveilleur to the infirmary at once. Apprise Captain Whitecape of the situation, and inform him that she is to be treated as my personal charge.

> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' Alphinaud... Is the Warrior of Light... Is {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} with you? D—Don't go...there is something I must say...

> Otherwise
'''Alisaie:''' W-Wait... D-Don't go... Please, come closer...
---

'''Alisaie:''' The Warriors of Darkness are in league with the Ascians... Slaughtering the primals is but the first step in their plan...
'''Alisaie:''' They make for Xelphatol to bring about Garuda's summoning... And to kill her...
'''Alisaie:''' You must... You must stop them...

'''Tataru:''' I...I shall inform the others at once!

'''Aymeric:''' Master Thancred—I would ask that you accompany Mistress Leveilleur to the infirmary. Your knowledge of her injuries may well prove useful in determining her treatment.

'''Thancred:''' Of course.

'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' However much we may change and grow apart...some bonds are unbreakable.

'''Aymeric:''' Though the fates afforded us the time to share our long–delayed drink, 'twould seem the rest of my wine cellar will have to wait. As I am constantly reminded, there is no rest for the righteous.
-optional end

===Speaking with Alphinaud===
'''Alphinaud:''' Surely, ''surely'' they won't let her... <sigh> Yes, yes, I know. We must trust in Captain Whitecape and his chirurgeons. Did they not bring Estinien back from the very brink of death?
'''Alphinaud:''' ... I am uncomfortably reminded of how he mocked me for praying at his bedside for days on end.
'''Alphinaud:''' What say you, my friend? Shall we turn our attention to a matter whose conclusion we have yet the power to influence?

'''V'mah Tia:''' We've been tasked with a somewhat dangerous assignment, so it's only prudent that we bring along additional support.

'''Ephemie:''' Ah, [Forename]. Lady F'lhaminn and I were just discussing the possibility of a special dinner for when Riol returns...

'''F'lhaminn:''' Our imprompty excursion to the Near East afforded me the opportunity to sample authentic Thavnairian cuisine. I should like to introduce it to the Scions, but achieving the perfect balance of spices is key...

'''Coultenet:''' The alchemists of Radz—at—Han are heirs to an ancient and stories tradition, which has seen the creation of countless medicines still in use today. The Domans have their own tradition as well, though the philosophy behind it is markedly different, from what I understand.

'''Isildaure:''' <huff> <puff> <huff> <puff><br>Any day now, my time will come, and then I'll show those greenhorns how it's done!

'''Homei:''' (Yes, yes, I am sure he will leave a lasting impression on them...)

'''Hoary Boulder:''' Timing, Ocher, timing! Mark well my movements, know my mind, that we might strike as one!

'''Ocher Boulder:''' Splendid, Brother, splendid! I shall take your words to heart, that I might aid and protect you with my magicks!

'''Aenor:''' One to mete out punishment, another to soothe your hurts... Mmm... Brotherly love...

'''Clemence:''' "Mete out punishment?" But a warrior ought to ''take'' it, not—
'''Clemence:''' Oh, gods! I mean, no that's not what I...I...

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Aymeric]] at the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].
*Speak with [[Urianger]] at [[the Waking Sands]].
*Speak with [[Bloeidin]] at [[Camp Overlook]] in [[outer La Noscea]].

==Journal==
*A few brief moments standing in the snow is more than enough for [[Alphinaud]] to realize that this is neither the time nor the place to think deeply on recent events. While the [[House Fortemps]] knights return to [[Camp Dragonhead]] and prepare a report, he would head for the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly|Congregation]] both to brief Ser [[Aymeric]] and to see if his sister's condition has at all improved.

*Ser Aymeric escorts you and Alphinaud to [[Alisaie]]'s room, where [[Thancred]], [[Y'shtola]], and [[Tataru]] are already waiting. There, Alphinaud is relieved to find that his sister has regained consciousness and is well on her way to a full recovery. Per Y'shtola's request, you proceed to give your account of all that occurred in [[Xelphatol]], prompting a debate as to the credibility of the [[Warrior of Darkness]]'s claims. When all have had their say, however, the [[Scions]] agree only that their foes' attempts to spur the [[beast tribes]] to summon ever stronger [[primals]] cannot be allowed to continue.

*Thancred then reveals that he and Alisaie have uncovered evidence suggesting that the [[Ascians]] are behind a plot to furnish several beast tribes with a steady stream of crystals. On the understanding that severing their supply lines would do much to slow the escalation, it is decided that the others -- Ser Aymeric included -- will attempt to determine the [[Ixal]] and the [[Gnath]]'s source. You and Alphinaud, meanwhile, will visit [[Urianger]] to find out if his wealth of knowledge concerning primal beings might be put to good use. When Alisaie subsequently insists that she be allowed to accompany you, Alphinaud seems poised to refuse her, only to relent in the face of her steely-eyed determination. All that remains is to wait for her to finish changing into her new outfit -- yet another original creation of Tataru's fecund imagination.

*After a brief moment of reflection -- and a missed opportunity to hear an anecdote about Alphinaud's boyhood indiscretions -- you and the twins are finally ready to depart. With luck, your visit to [[the Waking Sands]] will prove fruitful.

*To your delight, Urianger appears to be well aware of the Warriors of Darkness and their recent activities, and he provides you with a promising new lead: the [[kobolds]] of [[Vylbrand]] are rumored to be on the verge of summoning [[Titan]] once more. Satisfied, you and Alphinaud prepare to depart for [[Camp Overlook]] in [[outer La Noscea]], but your departure is delayed by Alisaie, who requests that Urianger look into some of the specific claims made by the Warriors of Darkness. She suggests that ''The Gerun Oracles'' may hold the answers -- though the frosty manner in which she addresses the scholar raises a host of other questions...

*In Camp Overlook, you find a grim Commander [[Bloeidin]] muttering to himself about the need for reinforcements. Upon learning of your intent, however, his face splits into a wide grin. It would seem that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have arrived in Vylbrand in the nick of time.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' Forgive me, this is neither the time nor the place for idle introspection.
'''Alphinaud:''' The knights can apprise Lord Edmont of our success, and we the lord commander. More importantly, I should like to see if my sister's condition has improved...

===Speaking with Aymeric at the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly===
'''Aymeric:''' It brings me joy to see you safely returned to us, [Forename]. What news from Xephatol?
'''Aymeric:''' ...Then we were not too late. On behalf of Ishgard, I offer you my deepest thanks.
'''Aymeric:''' As for who remained behind—Mistress Y'shtola has been tending to Mistress Alisaie in your absence...and I am pleased to report that she has regained consciousness.
'''Aymeric:''' I imagine you have many questions, especially given your recent encounter with the Warriors of Darkness. I know I do.
'''Aymeric:''' Come, let me show you to her room. Do not worry, her condition is much improved. She is a resilient one, much like her brother.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie! How are you feelings?

'''Alisaie:''' Well enough, Brother, thanks to the kindness of our hosts.

> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' When they told me you had departed for Xelphatol, I found that I could rest. The outcome seemed a mere formality, as did your safe return. Thank you, my friend.

> Otherwise
'''Alisaie:''' They told me you had departed for Xelphatol while I was still abed. I slept much better knowing that. Thank you.
---

'''Y'shtola:''' I take it your mission was a success?

'''Thancred:''' ...As if we needed any further confirmation that they are in league with the Ascians.
'''Thancred:''' ...But to ''save another world''? I think not.

'''Alphinaud:''' I too thought his story fanciful at first. But it is possible that there may be a kernel of truth in all of this. At the very least, none of his claims contradict the Word's account.

'''Y'shtola:''' You were following these people, Alisaie. Why?

'''Alisaie:''' During my travels, I had oft enjoyed tales of the Scions and their exploits. But after a time, I began to hear whispers of a gifted, and theretofore unknown, band of adventurers.
'''Alisaie:''' Adventurers who had supposedly sworn to travel the realm slaying primals in the Scions' stead.

'''Alphinaud:''' The Warriors of Darkness...And in the course of investigating these rumors, you stumbled upon the Ascians' involvement.

'''Alisaie:''' Yes. Exactly.

'''Aymeric:''' Forgive me, but if these Warriors of Darkness mean to bring about another Calamity, to what end do they hunt primals?

'''Alisaie:''' To prompt an escalation. To deepen the beast tribes' feelings of helpless and despair, and thereby drive them to summon ever more powerful gods.
'''Alisaie:''' And lest we forget, these events do not occur in isolation. With their patron deities being slain left and right, the news of man's victory over Nidhogg must surely have sown panic in the minds of the beastmen. 'Tis no wonder they wish to defend themselves.

'''Aymeric:''' Power answered with greater power, death with more death. A vicious cycle fueled by fear and hatred. I know its like all too well.

'''Alisaie:''' Indeed. The Ascians sow discord and desperation, and the Warriors of Darkness reap the harvest. And so it continues.
'''Alisaie:''' Yet that is not the extend of their ambitions. The Ascian himself observed that once the powerless realize that the old gods have failed them, they will have little recourse but to look to a new one.

'''Y'shtola:''' ....We cannot let that happen.

'''Thancred:''' It should come as no surprise, but Alisaie and I have uncovered evidence that the Ascians have been manipulating certain parties to ensure that a constant stream of crystals flows into the hands of the beast tribes.
'''Thancred:''' If we sever these supply lines, we should at least be able to slow the escalation.

'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. Krile and I shall journey to Xelphatol and learn what we can of the Ixal's source.

'''Aymeric:''' Hm. Then I, for my part, pledge to lead a similar investigation into the origin of the Gnath's supply.

'''Alphinaud:''' Ser Aymeric?

'''Aymeric:''' As a member of the Eorzean Alliance, Ishgard is honor-bound to play an active role in maintaining the security of the realm. You might also say that I have some personal motivation, given the Ascians' dealings with my father.
'''Aymeric:''' However, I make no secret of the fact that my knowledge of primal beings is scant at best. As such, I should be most grateful if one of your order were to assist me.

'''Thancred:''' Allow me, Ser Aymeric. I have dealt with the Gnath before.

'''Alphinaud:''' Let us consult with Urianger, then. Given his dedication to the study of primal beings, I should be surprised if he could not tell us something of value.

'''Alisaie:''' Allow me to accompany you, Brother. And before you think to refuse, know that I am not the girl I once was. I shall not be a burden—you have my word.

'''Alphinaud:''' But Alisaie, you...
'''Alphinaud:''' ...You are more than welcome. After all, it was you who set us upon this path.

'''Tataru:''' Wait a minute! I'm afraid I can't allow you to leave just yet - not until you try on the new outfit I prepared for you!

===Speaking with Alphinaud===
> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut questline
'''Alphinaud:''' ...To think that the three of us plumbed the depths of the coils and confronted Bahamut himself. Had I not been there, I would struggle to believe it.
'''Alphinaud:''' Shortly after we parted ways, I heard that she had taken to the road on her own, apparently on a journey of self–discovery. Precisely where to I never learned, though I suspect that was by design.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...So she enjoyed hearing tales of our exploits, did she? Hmm...

> If the player has started but not completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alphinaud:''' It was good of you to accompany my sister on her forays into the coils. The knowledge that you were with her did much to put my mind at rest. Though I know not what she found at the end of her search, Deks and Sinis did inform me that she had taken to the road on her own, apparently on a journey of self-discovery...
'''Alphinaud:''' And what came of ''that'' I can only speculate. I am glad our paths crossed, regardless. I considered involving myself with her venture for a time, but as you know all too well, circumstances conspired to keep us apart. I can only assume she carried on in our absence...

> If the player has not started the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alphinaud:''' Would I be right in assuming that you have not spoken with my sister since...one of the memorial services, was it?
'''Alphinaud:''' By the Twelve, it seems a lifetime ago. I should like to think we have both grown since then...
---

'''Alisaie:''' My apologies for keeping you waiting.
'''Alisaie:''' Right, then. shall we be off?

'''Alphinaud:''' Tataru never ceases to impress...Though, for a moment, I feared she might furnish you with an identical outfit.

'''Alisaie:''' Praise the Twelve she did not! Mother and Father were rather too fond of making us wear matching clothes.
'''Alisaie:''' Do you remember that time at the Studium when that girl of yours crept up behind me and whispered—

'''Alphinaud:''' Sister, please! She was not my—Ahem, can we not have this conversation in front of the ''Warrior of Light''!?

> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut questline
'''Alisaie:''' So be it. Another time, perhaps.
'''Alisaie:''' To be honest, [Forename], I wasn't planning on seeking you out just yet. When I set forth on my journey, I did so with grand ambitions. As you may recall, I promised I would not disappoint you...
'''Alisaie:''' I pray you will forgive me if I do.

> If the player has started but not completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' So be it. Another time, perhaps. I should thank you again for your assistance with my expeditions, [Forename]. Though we left matters somewhat unfinished, I am nevertheless prepared to focus on the task at hand and aid you to the fullest extend of my ability. As you helped me to brave the coils, so too will I help you to defeat the Warriors of Darkness.

> If the player has not started the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' It is an honor, [Forename]. I realize we are barely acquainted, but having heard so much about you, it hardly feels that way.
---

Question: What will you say?

> A pleasure to have you with us.
''[Alisaie smiles at the player.]''

> I've been meaning to ask about the carriage...
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, yes, the carriage that so fortuitously arrived to spirit us away from Ul'dah after the banquet.
'''Alphinaud:''' The driver informed me that I had my sister to thank for his presence in Ul'dah. How did you know to send help?
'''Alisaie:''' Oh, drunken Brass Blades are even less discreet than sober ones. Unfortunately, by the time I learned of the plot, it was too late to do anything more. Frankly, I'm still amazed {{alternatives|uldah=Brendt|gridania=Bremondt|limsa=Brennan}} managed to find you.

> Welcome to the fight.
''[Alisaie smiles at the player.]''
---

'''Alphinaud:''' New garments aside, I must say that you seem different—more...''resolute'' than when we last met. You have the look of a woman who is ready to fight for the future of Eorzea.

'''Alisaie:''' To the extent of my abilities, perhaps, but I have no delusions of grandeur. Nor will I pretend to have "found myself" or any such thing.
'''Alisaie:''' I am here today because I would regret if I weren't. That is all.

'''Alphinaud:''' Fair enough. Let us depart for the Walking Sands, then, and see if Urianger can be of assistance.
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Urianger at the Waking Sands===
-cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Urianger—apologies for calling upon you unannounced.

'''Urianger:''' Why, Master Alphinaud. Would that the Scholar had seen fit to grant me knowledge of thy coming. What bringeth thee and thine here this day?

'''Alphinaud:''' The Warriors of Darkness have returned. Pray allow us to explain...

'''Urianger:''' ...I too have heard tales in recent days of primal beings rising up only to be cast down by forces unknown.
'''Urianger:''' Alas, as thou didst observe, this serveth but to spur the beast tribes to pursue their goals with redoubled fervor.

'''Alphinaud:''' We have two objectives at this time: to identify and remove the source of the beast tribes' crystals, and to take direct action to prevent any further summoning rituals from reaching completion.
'''Alphinaud:''' The second is easier said than done, of course. While we were fortunate enough to learn of the Ixal's plans before they came to fruition, I should be surprised if the Warriors of Darkness and the Ascians did not have similar designs elsewhere of which we have no knowledge.

'''Urianger:''' Thou wert wise to come hither, for this very day did I receive tidings most troubling from across the Strait of Merlthor.
'''Urianger:''' O'Ghomoro stirreth, and there are whispers that the Lord of Crags neareth his return. Mere rumors, mark thou—but in light of thine own discoveries...
'''Urianger:''' ...Thou canst ill afford to turn a deaf ear to their claims.

'''Alphinaud:''' Aye—we must ascertain the truth of the matter for ourselves. Let us consult with the Maelstrom forces stationed at Camp Overlook, [Forename].
'''Alphinaud:''' Thank you for your counsel, Urianger. Pray inform us should you learn aught else.

'''Urianger:''' I shall.

'''Alisaie:''' If I may, Brother—Urianger, is there anything else you would like to say?

'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie?

'''Alisaie:''' ...If not, then never mind. I only ask because you are normally rather more... ''verbose''.
'''Alisaie:''' Nothing to add? Very well. Ere we depart, I wish to make a request. The Warriors of Darkness spoke of how the Ardor had the power to "break down the barriers between planes," that our worlds might be rejoined. I would ask that you research this for us.
'''Alisaie:''' Being nowhere as well-read as you, I'm sure I wouldn't know where to begin. That said, I have heard tell of a promising tome: ''The Gerun Oracles.'' Mayhap you could start there.

'''Urianger:''' ...By thy leave.

'''Alisaie:''' Camp Overlook, was it? Very well.
-cutscene end

'''Urianger:''' We shall speak anon, [Forename]. I prithee attend Master Alphinaud and Mistress Alisaie.

'''Alisaie:''' <sniff> <sniff> ...That had better be the sulphur.

===Speaking with Bloeidin at Camp Overlook in outer La Noscea===
'''Bloeidin:''' Seven hells, at this rate, I'll have to appeal to Maelstrom Command for reinforcements...
'''Bloeidin:''' Hm? Whatever it is, we don't want any.
'''Bloeidin:''' Well, fancy that! Just when my kobold problems look like coming to a head, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn turn up, itching to pitch in!
'''Bloeidin:''' Bloody ''brilliant'' timing is what it is! Right, then—let's get to it!

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Aymeric]] at the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].
*Speak with [[Urianger]] at [[the Waking Sands]].
*Speak with [[Bloeidin]] at [[Camp Overlook]] in [[outer La Noscea]].

==Journal==
*A few brief moments standing in the snow is more than enough for [[Alphinaud]] to realize that this is neither the time nor the place to think deeply on recent events. While the [[House Fortemps]] knights return to [[Camp Dragonhead]] and prepare a report, he would head for the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly|Congregation]] both to brief Ser [[Aymeric]] and to see if his sister's condition has at all improved.

*Ser Aymeric escorts you and Alphinaud to [[Alisaie]]'s room, where [[Thancred]], [[Y'shtola]], and [[Tataru]] are already waiting. There, Alphinaud is relieved to find that his sister has regained consciousness and is well on her way to a full recovery. Per Y'shtola's request, you proceed to give your account of all that occurred in [[Xelphatol]], prompting a debate as to the credibility of the [[Warrior of Darkness]]'s claims. When all have had their say, however, the [[Scions]] agree only that their foes' attempts to spur the [[beast tribes]] to summon ever stronger [[primals]] cannot be allowed to continue.

*Thancred then reveals that he and Alisaie have uncovered evidence suggesting that the [[Ascians]] are behind a plot to furnish several beast tribes with a steady stream of crystals. On the understanding that severing their supply lines would do much to slow the escalation, it is decided that the others -- Ser Aymeric included -- will attempt to determine the [[Ixal]] and the [[Gnath]]'s source. You and Alphinaud, meanwhile, will visit [[Urianger]] to find out if his wealth of knowledge concerning primal beings might be put to good use. When Alisaie subsequently insists that she be allowed to accompany you, Alphinaud seems poised to refuse her, only to relent in the face of her steely-eyed determination. All that remains is to wait for her to finish changing into her new outfit -- yet another original creation of Tataru's fecund imagination.

*After a brief moment of reflection -- and a missed opportunity to hear an anecdote about Alphinaud's boyhood indiscretions -- you and the twins are finally ready to depart. With luck, your visit to [[the Waking Sands]] will prove fruitful.

*To your delight, Urianger appears to be well aware of the Warriors of Darkness and their recent activities, and he provides you with a promising new lead: the [[kobolds]] of [[Vylbrand]] are rumored to be on the verge of summoning [[Titan]] once more. Satisfied, you and Alphinaud prepare to depart for [[Camp Overlook]] in [[outer La Noscea]], but your departure is delayed by Alisaie, who requests that Urianger look into some of the specific claims made by the Warriors of Darkness. She suggests that ''The Gerun Oracles'' may hold the answers -- though the frosty manner in which she addresses the scholar raises a host of other questions...

*In Camp Overlook, you find a grim Commander [[Bloeidin]] muttering to himself about the need for reinforcements. Upon learning of your intent, however, his face splits into a wide grin. It would seem that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have arrived in Vylbrand in the nick of time.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' Forgive me, this is neither the time nor the place for idle introspection.
'''Alphinaud:''' The knights can apprise Lord Edmont of our success, and we the lord commander. More importantly, I should like to see if my sister's condition has improved...
'''Alphinaud:''' You may take a moment for yourself if you wish. I will be at the Congregation.
-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, there you are. Shall we make our report?
-optional end

===Speaking with Aymeric at the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly===
'''Aymeric:''' It brings me joy to see you safely returned to us, [Forename]. What news from Xephatol?
'''Aymeric:''' ...Then we were not too late. On behalf of Ishgard, I offer you my deepest thanks.
'''Aymeric:''' As for who remained behind—Mistress Y'shtola has been tending to Mistress Alisaie in your absence...and I am pleased to report that she has regained consciousness.
'''Aymeric:''' I imagine you have many questions, especially given your recent encounter with the Warriors of Darkness. I know I do.
'''Aymeric:''' Come, let me show you to her room. Do not worry, her condition is much improved. She is a resilient one, much like her brother.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie! How are you feelings?

'''Alisaie:''' Well enough, Brother, thanks to the kindness of our hosts.

> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' When they told me you had departed for Xelphatol, I found that I could rest. The outcome seemed a mere formality, as did your safe return. Thank you, my friend.

> Otherwise
'''Alisaie:''' They told me you had departed for Xelphatol while I was still abed. I slept much better knowing that. Thank you.
---

'''Y'shtola:''' I take it your mission was a success?

'''Thancred:''' ...As if we needed any further confirmation that they are in league with the Ascians.
'''Thancred:''' ...But to ''save another world''? I think not.

'''Alphinaud:''' I too thought his story fanciful at first. But it is possible that there may be a kernel of truth in all of this. At the very least, none of his claims contradict the Word's account.

'''Y'shtola:''' You were following these people, Alisaie. Why?

'''Alisaie:''' During my travels, I had oft enjoyed tales of the Scions and their exploits. But after a time, I began to hear whispers of a gifted, and theretofore unknown, band of adventurers.
'''Alisaie:''' Adventurers who had supposedly sworn to travel the realm slaying primals in the Scions' stead.

'''Alphinaud:''' The Warriors of Darkness...And in the course of investigating these rumors, you stumbled upon the Ascians' involvement.

'''Alisaie:''' Yes. Exactly.

'''Aymeric:''' Forgive me, but if these Warriors of Darkness mean to bring about another Calamity, to what end do they hunt primals?

'''Alisaie:''' To prompt an escalation. To deepen the beast tribes' feelings of helpless and despair, and thereby drive them to summon ever more powerful gods.
'''Alisaie:''' And lest we forget, these events do not occur in isolation. With their patron deities being slain left and right, the news of man's victory over Nidhogg must surely have sown panic in the minds of the beastmen. 'Tis no wonder they wish to defend themselves.

'''Aymeric:''' Power answered with greater power, death with more death. A vicious cycle fueled by fear and hatred. I know its like all too well.

'''Alisaie:''' Indeed. The Ascians sow discord and desperation, and the Warriors of Darkness reap the harvest. And so it continues.
'''Alisaie:''' Yet that is not the extend of their ambitions. The Ascian himself observed that once the powerless realize that the old gods have failed them, they will have little recourse but to look to a new one.

'''Y'shtola:''' ....We cannot let that happen.

'''Thancred:''' It should come as no surprise, but Alisaie and I have uncovered evidence that the Ascians have been manipulating certain parties to ensure that a constant stream of crystals flows into the hands of the beast tribes.
'''Thancred:''' If we sever these supply lines, we should at least be able to slow the escalation.

'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. Krile and I shall journey to Xelphatol and learn what we can of the Ixal's source.

'''Aymeric:''' Hm. Then I, for my part, pledge to lead a similar investigation into the origin of the Gnath's supply.

'''Alphinaud:''' Ser Aymeric?

'''Aymeric:''' As a member of the Eorzean Alliance, Ishgard is honor-bound to play an active role in maintaining the security of the realm. You might also say that I have some personal motivation, given the Ascians' dealings with my father.
'''Aymeric:''' However, I make no secret of the fact that my knowledge of primal beings is scant at best. As such, I should be most grateful if one of your order were to assist me.

'''Thancred:''' Allow me, Ser Aymeric. I have dealt with the Gnath before.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Aymeric]] at the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].
*Speak with [[Urianger]] at [[the Waking Sands]].
*Speak with [[Bloeidin]] at [[Camp Overlook]] in [[outer La Noscea]].

==Journal==
*A few brief moments standing in the snow is more than enough for [[Alphinaud]] to realize that this is neither the time nor the place to think deeply on recent events. While the [[House Fortemps]] knights return to [[Camp Dragonhead]] and prepare a report, he would head for the [[Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly|Congregation]] both to brief Ser [[Aymeric]] and to see if his sister's condition has at all improved.

There, Alphinaud is relieved to find that his sister has regained consciousness and is well on her way to a full recovery. Per Y'shtola's request, you proceed to give your account of all that occurred in [[Xelphatol]], prompting a debate as to the credibility of the [[Warrior of Darkness]]'s claims. When all have had their say, however, the [[Scions]] agree only that their foes' attempts to spur the [[beast tribes]] to summon ever stronger [[primals]] cannot be allowed to continue.

*Thancred then reveals that he and Alisaie have uncovered evidence suggesting that the [[Ascians]] are behind a plot to furnish several beast tribes with a steady stream of crystals. On the understanding that severing their supply lines would do much to slow the escalation, it is decided that the others -- Ser Aymeric included -- will attempt to determine the [[Ixal]] and the [[Gnath]]'s source. You and Alphinaud, meanwhile, will visit [[Urianger]] to find out if his wealth of knowledge concerning primal beings might be put to good use. When Alisaie subsequently insists that she be allowed to accompany you, Alphinaud seems poised to refuse her, only to relent in the face of her steely-eyed determination. All that remains is to wait for her to finish changing into her new outfit -- yet another original creation of Tataru's fecund imagination.

*After a brief moment of reflection -- and a missed opportunity to hear an anecdote about Alphinaud's boyhood indiscretions -- you and the twins are finally ready to depart. With luck, your visit to [[the Waking Sands]] will prove fruitful.

*To your delight, Urianger appears to be well aware of the Warriors of Darkness and their recent activities, and he provides you with a promising new lead: the [[kobolds]] of [[Vylbrand]] are rumored to be on the verge of summoning [[Titan]] once more. Satisfied, you and Alphinaud prepare to depart for [[Camp Overlook]] in [[outer La Noscea]], but your departure is delayed by Alisaie, who requests that Urianger look into some of the specific claims made by the Warriors of Darkness. She suggests that ''The Gerun Oracles'' may hold the answers -- though the frosty manner in which she addresses the scholar raises a host of other questions...

*In Camp Overlook, you find a grim Commander [[Bloeidin]] muttering to himself about the need for reinforcements. Upon learning of your intent, however, his face splits into a wide grin. It would seem that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have arrived in Vylbrand in the nick of time.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' Forgive me, this is neither the time nor the place for idle introspection.
'''Alphinaud:''' The knights can apprise Lord Edmont of our success, and we the lord commander. More importantly, I should like to see if my sister's condition has improved...
'''Alphinaud:''' You may take a moment for yourself if you wish. I will be at the Congregation.
-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, there you are. Shall we make our report?
-optional end

===Speaking with Aymeric at the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly===
'''Aymeric:''' It brings me joy to see you safely returned to us, [Forename]. What news from Xephatol?
'''Aymeric:''' ...Then we were not too late. On behalf of Ishgard, I offer you my deepest thanks.
'''Aymeric:''' As for who remained behind—Mistress Y'shtola has been tending to Mistress Alisaie in your absence...and I am pleased to report that she has regained consciousness.
'''Aymeric:''' I imagine you have many questions, especially given your recent encounter with the Warriors of Darkness. I know I do.
'''Aymeric:''' Come, let me show you to her room. Do not worry, her condition is much improved. She is a resilient one, much like her brother.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie! How are you feelings?

'''Alisaie:''' Well enough, Brother, thanks to the kindness of our hosts.

> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' When they told me you had departed for Xelphatol, I found that I could rest. The outcome seemed a mere formality, as did your safe return. Thank you, my friend.

> Otherwise
'''Alisaie:''' They told me you had departed for Xelphatol while I was still abed. I slept much better knowing that. Thank you.
---

'''Y'shtola:''' I take it your mission was a success?

'''Thancred:''' ...As if we needed any further confirmation that they are in league with the Ascians.
'''Thancred:''' ...But to ''save another world''? I think not.

'''Alphinaud:''' I too thought his story fanciful at first. But it is possible that there may be a kernel of truth in all of this. At the very least, none of his claims contradict the Word's account.

'''Y'shtola:''' You were following these people, Alisaie. Why?

'''Alisaie:''' During my travels, I had oft enjoyed tales of the Scions and their exploits. But after a time, I began to hear whispers of a gifted, and theretofore unknown, band of adventurers.
'''Alisaie:''' Adventurers who had supposedly sworn to travel the realm slaying primals in the Scions' stead.

'''Alphinaud:''' The Warriors of Darkness...And in the course of investigating these rumors, you stumbled upon the Ascians' involvement.

'''Alisaie:''' Yes. Exactly.

'''Aymeric:''' Forgive me, but if these Warriors of Darkness mean to bring about another Calamity, to what end do they hunt primals?

'''Alisaie:''' To prompt an escalation. To deepen the beast tribes' feelings of helpless and despair, and thereby drive them to summon ever more powerful gods.
'''Alisaie:''' And lest we forget, these events do not occur in isolation. With their patron deities being slain left and right, the news of man's victory over Nidhogg must surely have sown panic in the minds of the beastmen. 'Tis no wonder they wish to defend themselves.

'''Aymeric:''' Power answered with greater power, death with more death. A vicious cycle fueled by fear and hatred. I know its like all too well.

'''Alisaie:''' Indeed. The Ascians sow discord and desperation, and the Warriors of Darkness reap the harvest. And so it continues.
'''Alisaie:''' Yet that is not the extend of their ambitions. The Ascian himself observed that once the powerless realize that the old gods have failed them, they will have little recourse but to look to a new one.

'''Y'shtola:''' ....We cannot let that happen.

'''Thancred:''' It should come as no surprise, but Alisaie and I have uncovered evidence that the Ascians have been manipulating certain parties to ensure that a constant stream of crystals flows into the hands of the beast tribes.
'''Thancred:''' If we sever these supply lines, we should at least be able to slow the escalation.

'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. Krile and I shall journey to Xelphatol and learn what we can of the Ixal's source.

'''Aymeric:''' Hm. Then I, for my part, pledge to lead a similar investigation into the origin of the Gnath's supply.

'''Alphinaud:''' Ser Aymeric?

'''Aymeric:''' As a member of the Eorzean Alliance, Ishgard is honor-bound to play an active role in maintaining the security of the realm. You might also say that I have some personal motivation, given the Ascians' dealings with my father.
'''Aymeric:''' However, I make no secret of the fact that my knowledge of primal beings is scant at best. As such, I should be most grateful if one of your order were to assist me.

'''Thancred:''' Allow me, Ser Aymeric. I have dealt with the Gnath before.

'''Alphinaud:''' Let us consult with Urianger, then. Given his dedication to the study of primal beings, I should be surprised if he could not tell us something of value.

'''Alisaie:''' Allow me to accompany you, Brother. And before you think to refuse, know that I am not the girl I once was. I shall not be a burden—you have my word.

'''Alphinaud:''' But Alisaie, you...
'''Alphinaud:''' ...You are more than welcome. After all, it was you who set us upon this path.

'''Tataru:''' Wait a minute! I'm afraid I can't allow you to leave just yet - not until you try on the new outfit I prepared for you!

===Speaking with Alphinaud===
> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut questline
'''Alphinaud:''' ...To think that the three of us plumbed the depths of the coils and confronted Bahamut himself. Had I not been there, I would struggle to believe it.
'''Alphinaud:''' Shortly after we parted ways, I heard that she had taken to the road on her own, apparently on a journey of self–discovery. Precisely where to I never learned, though I suspect that was by design.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...So she enjoyed hearing tales of our exploits, did she? Hmm...

> If the player has started but not completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alphinaud:''' It was good of you to accompany my sister on her forays into the coils. The knowledge that you were with her did much to put my mind at rest.
Alphinaud: Though I know not what she found at the end of her search, Deks and Sinis did inform me that she had taken to the road on her own, apparently on a journey of self-discovery...
'''Alphinaud:''' And what came of ''that'' I can only speculate. I am glad our paths crossed, regardless. I considered involving myself with her venture for a time, but as you know all too well, circumstances conspired to keep us apart. I can only assume she carried on in our absence...

> If the player has not started the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alphinaud:''' Would I be right in assuming that you have not spoken with my sister since...one of the memorial services, was it?
'''Alphinaud:''' By the Twelve, it seems a lifetime ago. I should like to think we have both grown since then...
---

'''Alisaie:''' My apologies for keeping you waiting.
'''Alisaie:''' Right, then. shall we be off?

'''Alphinaud:''' Tataru never ceases to impress...Though, for a moment, I feared she might furnish you with an identical outfit.

'''Alisaie:''' Praise the Twelve she did not! Mother and Father were rather too fond of making us wear matching clothes.
'''Alisaie:''' Do you remember that time at the Studium when that girl of yours crept up behind me and whispered—

'''Alphinaud:''' Sister, please! She was not my—Ahem, can we not have this conversation in front of the ''Warrior of Light''!?

'''Alisaie:''' So be it. Another time, perhaps.

> If the player has completed the Coils of Bahamut questline

'''Alisaie:''' To be honest, [Forename], I wasn't planning on seeking you out just yet. When I set forth on my journey, I did so with grand ambitions. As you may recall, I promised I would not disappoint you...
'''Alisaie:''' I pray you will forgive me if I do.

> If the player has started but not completed the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' I should thank you again for your assistance with my expeditions, [Forename]. Though we left matters somewhat unfinished, I am nevertheless prepared to focus on the task at hand and aid you to the fullest extend of my ability.
Alisaie: As you helped me to brave the coils, so too will I help you to defeat the Warriors of Darkness.

> If the player has not started the Coils of Bahamut
'''Alisaie:''' It is an honor, [Forename]. I realize we are barely acquainted, but having heard so much about you, it hardly feels that way.
---

Question: What will you say?

> A pleasure to have you with us.
''[Alisaie smiles at the player.]''

> I've been meaning to ask about the carriage...
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, yes, the carriage that so fortuitously arrived to spirit us away from Ul'dah after the banquet.
'''Alphinaud:''' The driver informed me that I had my sister to thank for his presence in Ul'dah. How did you know to send help?
'''Alisaie:''' Oh, drunken Brass Blades are even less discreet than sober ones. Unfortunately, by the time I learned of the plot, it was too late to do anything more. Frankly, I'm still amazed {{alternatives|uldah=Brendt|gridania=Bremondt|limsa=Brennan}} managed to find you.

> Welcome to the fight.
''[Alisaie smiles at the player.]''
---

'''Alphinaud:''' New garments aside, I must say that you seem different—more...''resolute'' than when we last met. You have the look of a woman who is ready to fight for the future of Eorzea.

'''Alisaie:''' To the extent of my abilities, perhaps, but I have no delusions of grandeur. Nor will I pretend to have "found myself" or any such thing.
'''Alisaie:''' I am here today because I would regret if I weren't. That is all.

'''Alphinaud:''' Fair enough. Let us depart for the Walking Sands, then, and see if Urianger can be of assistance.
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Urianger at the Waking Sands===
-cutscene start
'''Alphinaud:''' Urianger—apologies for calling upon you unannounced.

'''Urianger:''' Why, Master Alphinaud. Would that the Scholar had seen fit to grant me knowledge of thy coming. What bringeth thee and thine here this day?

'''Alphinaud:''' The Warriors of Darkness have returned. Pray allow us to explain...

'''Urianger:''' ...I too have heard tales in recent days of primal beings rising up only to be cast down by forces unknown.
'''Urianger:''' Alas, as thou didst observe, this serveth but to spur the beast tribes to pursue their goals with redoubled fervor.

'''Alphinaud:''' We have two objectives at this time: to identify and remove the source of the beast tribes' crystals, and to take direct action to prevent any further summoning rituals from reaching completion.
'''Alphinaud:''' The second is easier said than done, of course. While we were fortunate enough to learn of the Ixal's plans before they came to fruition, I should be surprised if the Warriors of Darkness and the Ascians did not have similar designs elsewhere of which we have no knowledge.

'''Urianger:''' Thou wert wise to come hither, for this very day did I receive tidings most troubling from across the Strait of Merlthor.
'''Urianger:''' O'Ghomoro stirreth, and there are whispers that the Lord of Crags neareth his return. Mere rumors, mark thou—but in light of thine own discoveries...
'''Urianger:''' ...Thou canst ill afford to turn a deaf ear to their claims.

'''Alphinaud:''' Aye—we must ascertain the truth of the matter for ourselves. Let us consult with the Maelstrom forces stationed at Camp Overlook, [Forename].
'''Alphinaud:''' Thank you for your counsel, Urianger. Pray inform us should you learn aught else.

'''Urianger:''' I shall.

'''Alisaie:''' If I may, Brother—Urianger, is there anything else you would like to say?

'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie?

'''Alisaie:''' ...If not, then never mind. I only ask because you are normally rather more... ''verbose''.
'''Alisaie:''' Nothing to add? Very well. Ere we depart, I wish to make a request. The Warriors of Darkness spoke of how the Ardor had the power to "break down the barriers between planes," that our worlds might be rejoined. I would ask that you research this for us.
'''Alisaie:''' Being nowhere as well-read as you, I'm sure I wouldn't know where to begin. That said, I have heard tell of a promising tome: ''The Gerun Oracles.'' Mayhap you could start there.

'''Urianger:''' ...By thy leave.

'''Alisaie:''' Camp Overlook, was it? Very well.
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''Urianger:''' We shall speak anon, [Forename]. I prithee attend Master Alphinaud and Mistress Alisaie.

'''Alphinaud:''' Come, let us speak with Commander Bloeidin and see if there is any truth to these rumors concerning Titan's return.

'''Alisaie:''' <sniff> <sniff> ...That had better be the sulphur.
-optional end

===Speaking with Bloeidin at Camp Overlook in outer La Noscea===
'''Bloeidin:''' Seven hells, at this rate, I'll have to appeal to Maelstrom Command for reinforcements...
'''Bloeidin:''' Hm? Whatever it is, we don't want any.
'''Bloeidin:''' Well, fancy that! Just when my kobold problems look like coming to a head, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn turn up, itching to pitch in!
'''Bloeidin:''' Bloody ''brilliant'' timing is what it is! Right, then—let's get to it!

-quest complete

-optional start
'''Alisaie:''' <sniff> <sniff> (...I know it was him.)

'''Alphinaud:''' (Is it just my imagination, or is Alisaie staring daggers at me?)
