==Steps==
* Speak with Alisaie in front of Matoya's Cave.
* Speak with Alisaie.

==Journal==
*You visit the Rising Stones to find [[Alisaie]] at her wit's end. Even as she wonders which of the Scions' mounting problems to tackle first, [[Krile]] arrives to bring calm to the situation. After examining the afflicted in the infirmary, [[Krile]] comes to the same conclusion as the Elder Seedseer: it's as if the souls of their companions have taken leave of their bodies. She offers to follow the trail of aether, but to do so will require use of Master Matoya's Crystal Eye. It seems a trip to the Dravanian hinterlands is in order.

*You gather in Matoya's Cave, and [[Krile]] endeavors to track down your stricken companions' missing souls. Despite her best efforts, however, it appears that the threads of aether come to an abrupt end. Bemused and dismayed, you decide to focus instead upon the matters of the present. [[Alisaie]] has had word from [[Lyse]] that members of the Populares have defected from the Empire, and is desperate to learn of Alphinaud's fate.

*You join [[Alisaie]] outside of Matoya's Cave. Despite the elder's brusque nature, it appears that her words have done much to boost Alisaie's spirits.
==Dialogue==

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Alisaie''': I'm glad you've come, though I'm afraid there's little in the way of good news.

'''Alisaie''': After you left, we reached out to both the Alchemist's Guild and Stillglade Fane, and attempted all manner of treatments...

'''Alisaie''': But the results were always the same. Whatever the answer is, it's not alchemy or conjury...

'''Alisaie''': Why did it have to be Y'shtola and Urianger, and not me? Out of all of us, they are the ones who could feasibly have solved this puzzle.

'''Alisaie''': And Alphinaud's still missing. Gods, it's all going wrong... Where do we even start?

'''???''': A grave situation, indeed. Might I be of some assistance?

'''Alisaie''': Krile! I thought you busy delving into the mysteries of Eureka...

'''Krile''': When word reached me of the plight of our friends, I could not well stay away. As a fellow Scion, not to mention your erstwhile mentor, this is one of those times you should feel free to call on me─regardless of my personal circumstances.

'''Alisaie''': I... Yes, I should have thought of that.

'''Alisaie''': Thank you for coming, Krile. We would welcome your insight.

'''Krile''': And I should be happy to provide it. Now, what's this I hear about Alphinaud heading into imperial territory? That boy always did have some funny ideas. Do you remember the speech he gave when he was accepted to the Studium?

'''Alisaie''': “My life's goal is naught less than the salvation of this star!”

'''Krile''': That particular grand pronouncement has been a source of great embarrassment to him, as you know. But the fact of the matter is, he meant every word, and has lived his life accordingly.

'''Alisaie''': Yes, he remains altruistic to a fault. But I'm worried he was too fixated on his goals to see the dangers, as has happened before...

'''Krile''': You needn't be so concerned. Though his values remain the same, Alphinaud is not the blinkered boy he once was. Slowly but surely, his eyes have been opened─thanks to a certain someone.

'''Krile''': A certain someone whom he'd be mortified to learn had heard about his little speech. Mum's the word, eh?

'''Krile''': Right, I had better have a look at our patients. They're in the infirmary, I assume? I'll need absolute quiet, so it would be best if I did this alone. If you'll excuse me...

'''Krile''': All three are in fine physical health. At a glance, I would say they were merely sound asleep...

'''Krile''': ...Except for the fact that I couldn't sense the slightest trace of “them” in their bodies. It's as if their souls have taken leave of their physical forms.

'''Alisaie''': Ah. Yes. The Elder Seedseer made a similar observation.

'''Krile''': I've read the report. When you heard this mysterious voice, you described feeling as if you were “somewhere else,” yes?

'''Krile''': If we assume the aether which comprises your essence is being drawn to some other place...

'''Krile''': Then it may be possible to follow the trail it leaves behind, just as we did in our search for Thancred.

'''Alisaie''': I wasn't around for that. But I can't imagine it was easy.

'''Krile''': Oh, it wasn't. But that's no reason not to try. I will have need of Master Matoya's Crystal Eye if I'm even to make the attempt, so I suggest we pay her a visit.

==Steps==
*Speak with the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance]] [[Resistance Guard|gate guard]].

*Speak with [[Lyse]].

*Speak with [[M'naago]].

==Journal==
''There are no journal entries for this quest.''

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Conrad''': I know you're not one for waiting, but if you'll bear with us--

'''Resistance Guard''': [[Commander Kemp]]! [[Marshal Tarupin]] reports that their sweep of the castellum's interior has been completed!

'''Conrad''': So it's finally over, eh? Pray extend to him my deepest thanks.

'''Alisaie''': It's official, then. [[Castellum Velodyna]] is well and truly ours. Mayhap this calls for-- Wait, where is [[M'naago]]?

'''Conrad''': She took her bird and flew off towards the [[The Peering Stones|Peering Stones]] -- the village of the M tribe, where she was born.

'''Conrad''': I doubt that the imperials who fled Velodyna had a mind to give them trouble on their way back east, but she was nevertheless worried, so I gave her leave to go and see that her people were safe.

'''Alphinaud''': Though I pray you are right, 'twould be best if M'naago were not alone if she should encounter the enemy.

'''Lyse''': Agreed! Let's all go to the Peering Stones and make sure that everything is all right.

'''Conrad''': If that is your wish, then I've no objection. Just let the guard know when you wish to cross.

===Crossing the Castellum===
'''Resistance Guard''': Greetings, [[The Scions of the Seventh Dawn|Scion]]. Do you wish to pass?

===Below the Peering Stones===
'''Lyse''': The path to the village is through a tunnel just east of here. Follow me!

===Finishing the Quest===
'''M'naago''': Ah, you've come. Welcome, friends, to my village. My home.

'''Alphinaud''': How fare your people?

'''M'naago''': Good, all things considered. Better than the [[Ananta]], at any rate... They've sent an emissary. I'll take you to her.

'''Lyse''': We're here to help. Will you tell us what happened?

'''Vira Battlemaid''': Aye, it began with a quarrel between the imperials and the [[Qalyana]].

'''M'naago''': The Qalyana are another Ananta tribe -- the strongest and the most influential.

'''M'naago''': Unlike the [[Vira]], they want no part of our troubles. They swore fealty to the [[Garlean Empire|Empire]] and were content to remain within their borders.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': Jussst ssso. The Qalyana forsssook their pride and the fight, and yielded to [[Garlemald]] long ago.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': But then a new commander was sssent to hold the black bridge. She demanded the Qalyana sssurrender a hossstage, thisss Butcher.

'''Lyse''': [[Fordola]]. It doesn't make sense, though... The Vira are the ones working with the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance|Resistance]]. Why would she threaten the Qalyana?

'''Vira Battlemaid''': Because she is ignorant, like all imperials. She knows not the difference between the Qalyana and the Vira, nor does she care to learn.

'''Alphinaud''': I see. All Fordola knew for sure was that the Resistance would come from the west. She reasoned, therefore, that if the Ananta on the east bank turned their coats, she would be trapped. I take it the Qalyana had no choice but to oblige her.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': No, they did not. The imperials left with the Qalyana broodmother's own daughter, [[Anamika]].

'''Vira Battlemaid''': Long days and nightsss she looked out on the black bridge, weeping for her child. Until you came.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': The broodmother knew at once which way the winds would blow. She and her warriors met with the fleeing imperials in the road and demanded that her daughter be returned.

'''Lyse''': Bad idea... Fordola's not the kind to take threats lying down.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': You know her well. The Butcher turned her blade to Anamika and bade the Qalyana move aside.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': But the broodmother would not yield.

'''Alisaie''': I know where this is going...

'''Vira Battlemaid''': The Qalyana sssurrounded the imperials, one of whom, whether out of fear or sssttupidity, cut the child down. There was naught that could be done.

'''Alisaie''': What madness...

'''Vira Battlemaid''': The true madness was yet to come. For in her dessspair, the Qalyana broodmother cried out for her daughter to be ressstored to life. She bessseeched [[Sri Lakshmi]]'s intercession.

'''Alphinaud''': She summoned a [[primal]], then and there?

'''Vira Battlemaid''': That she did, if only for an inssstant. Bereft of courage and honor, the broodmother sssought sssolace in her faith.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': The imperials fled in terror at the sssight of the goddess, abandoning these lands to the Ananta...

'''Vira Battlemaid''': Now the Qalyana bid usss make pilgrimage, to pay proper ressspectsss. Yet though we Vira revere Sri Lakshmi as the holiessst of holy, we will not prossstrate ourssselves before Her.

'''Alisaie''': And so you turned to us.

'''Vira Battlemaid''': Aye. All who have fought with the Resissstance have heard tell of the warrior. The eikon-ssslayer.

'''Alphinaud''': I believe we have heard enough. Inconvenient though the timing may be, if a primal has indeed been summoned, we can scarce afford to ignore it. We must needs discuss how best to resolve this situation.
