===Accept the quest===
Viera Gleaner: You're a visitor to Sharlayan, aren't you? You do have a worldly look about you...
Viera Gleaner: As a gleaner, I, too, have journeyed far and wide. Tell me, where is the farthest you have ventured?

Question: What will you say?

> The Far East.
Viera Gleaner: The Far East, the literal edge of the world... That is quite far indeed.
> Another world.
Viera Gleaner: Is that meant to be in jest? The look on your face tells me you're serious...
> I cannot say.
Viera Gleaner: Oh? Is it someplace secret? I understand. I am sworn to secrecy in some of the Forum's matters, as well.
---

Viera Gleaner: Aye, you should do nicely.
Viera Gleaner: You see, I need a more experienced traveler to say a prayer for me before I leave for Gyr Abania.
Viera Gleaner: If you would do me the honor, the reactor operator by the tower to the south should have a lantern crystal prepared for the purpose.
-quest accepted

-optional start
Viera Gleaner: Please speak with the reactor operator, and he will furnish you with a lantern crystal.
-optional end

===Speak with the elemental reactor operator===
Elemental Reactor Operator: Are you here for the crystal? I hope it does some good for that gleaner; those folks need all the luck they can get.
Elemental Reactor Operator: Lanterns light the way through the darkness—a tool which can mean the difference between life and death. They are synonymous with safe passage, and as such, it has become custom in recent days to imbue the crystals inside with the prayers of a more seasoned traveler.
Elemental Reactor Operator: And today, that traveler is you. Simply face the crystal, and '''pray''' for the safety of the traveler-to-be, if you will.

-optional start
Elemental Reactor Operator: Gaze into the crystal, and '''pray''' for the traveler who sent you.
System: The crystal glitters inside the box. Kneel before it and '''pray''' for the gleaner's safe passage.
-optional end

===/pray before the lantern crystal.===
Elemental Reactor Operator: A colleague recently told me about the power of akasa—a concept taught in Radz–at–Han—and how it reacts to strong emotion.
Elemental Reactor Operator: I wonder if this method of praying to a crystal is a manifestation of that power...
Elemental Reactor Operator: Well, that should about do it. With luck, your prayers will help guide the gleaner safely through the perils of his journey.
-optional start
Elemental Reactor Operator: The crystal is ready. You can take it to the gleaner who asked for it now.
-optional end

===Deliver the lantern crystal to the Viera gleaner===
Viera Gleaner: Do you have a lantern crystal for me?
''Hand over {{i|Lantern Crystal}}''
Viera Gleaner: You have my thanks. With your prayer fueling its light, I have faith that it will keep me safe until my return.
Viera Gleaner: And now, I depart for Gyr Abania. I hope your travels are successful, as well as mine.

===Accept the quest===
Vexed Veterinarian: Excuse me, {{alternatives|sir|ma'am}}. I couldn't help but notice that you've a way about you that simply screams “I have an affinity for creatures of the wilds.” And since I'm never wrong about such things, might I trouble you?
Vexed Veterinarian: You see, amongst the troops of trolls living in the Outer Circuit, I came upon one who was sick beyond measure.
Vexed Veterinarian: I took the poor creature in at once and saw him healed, of course, but when I attempted to return him to his rightful home, he flew into a panic, as if he could not bear the thought of going back.
Vexed Veterinarian: To make matters worse, the troll saw fit to escape into a den of analas. I would go after him, but I'm so fumble-footed I'll scare him off like as not, and be torn limb from limb for my pains by the fiends!
Vexed Veterinarian: So, I turn to you. Would you seek out this troll of which I spoke? I shall provide you with his favorite food, and with it, you should be able to calm the piteous thing. Hopefully that will be enough to see his senses restored and for him to come hurrying back.
Vexed Veterinarian: And, though I shudder to think of it, if any of those fell analas seek to impede you or pester that troll, make those beasts regret their interference. Oh, and don't worry─you will be rewarded for your efforts!
-quest accepted

-optional start
Vexed Veterinarian: I pray that troll can get hold of himself and return here in one piece. Let's hope the food I gave you does the trick...and that none of those pesky analas attempt to undermine our efforts.

===Find the wayward troll and slay any analas that attack===
System: You are under attack!

===Give the ripe fruit to the wayward troll===
Wayward Troll: Grrr...
''Hand over {{i|Ripe Fruit}}''
Wayward Troll: Muaaah!

-optional start
Wayward Troll: Grrr...
-optional end

===Speak with the veterinarian===
Vexed Veterinarian: Look, he's returned! I can't thank you enough.
Vexed Veterinarian: I know they may not look it, but trolls are really quite intelligent. Indeed, they are an intrinsic part of the woodlands of Labyrinthos, and keep it healthy and thriving.
Vexed Veterinarian: Though we've a responsibility to put down the more violent and unruly ones, most trolls─such as this one─are kind, docile things. In fact, my friend here has a real chance of becoming leader of his tribe, perhaps even guardian of the forest someday.
Vexed Veterinarian: It is we who saw these creatures removed from their natural habitats and relocated them within Labyrinthos. Thus, we've a responsibility to watch over them, to ensure they are well. And it would be too cruel to dispose of one simply because they're under the weather.
Vexed Veterinarian: Ah yes, your reward─here, as promised. Now then, it's high time I saw this fellow returned to the Outer Circuit. Farewell, adventurer!

*Rendezvous with [[N'welhi Tia]].
*Speak with N'welhi Tia.
*Search for [[Shaggles]] and slay his attackers.
*Aid Shaggles.

==Journal==
*The distracted archivist seems troubled.

*N'welhi Tia asks for your help in reclaiming a certain specimen that has fled the Archeion. You agree to search the thirty-third facet for any tiny trolls gone astray.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*You fail to find the troll, but you have yet to search the entirety of the tunnel. You continue on, just in case.

*Having scrutinized the facet, it is evident the troll is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he stayed nearer the Archeion.

*N'welhi Tia tells you he's met someone who claims to have spotted the specimen. According to this eyewitness report, a troll of diminutive size is lurking in Mornveil Forest.

*N'welhi Tia informs you that he's found a set of tracks which belong to the missing specimen. The troll must be somewhere nearby...

*You locate Shaggles, only to find him under attack from his fellow trolls. As they are exponentially larger, it is a fight that Shaggles could not win alone. Fortunately, you are there to protect him, and have hopefully taught the older trolls to pick on someone their own size.

*Unlike N'welhi Tia, you soon realize you are able to understand Shaggles when he speaks. He is, in fact, rather knowledgeable, and remarks that you are likely able to understand him due to the Echo. He quickly explains that he had set out to try and prevent woodworms from overrunning the Archeion and, upon learning this, N'welhi Tia requests your continued aid in ridding the facility of said pests.

===Accepting the quest===
Distracted Archivist: Oh deary me...
Distracted Archivist: My sweetest Shaggles─ Er, one of the Archeion's precious samples has fled!
N'welhi Tia: ...You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? My apologies. I'm N'welhi Tia, an archivist.
N'welhi Tia: The Archeion is home to various samples collected from all across the star, and one such specimen has just escaped!
N'welhi Tia: A young troll, to be specific. Oh, I hope he hasn't been set upon by the local predators.
N'welhi Tia: Listen─I promise to compensate you, so could you please help me retrieve the specimen?
N'welhi Tia: My thanks! I will continue my search of this area. I'd like you to check the thirty-third facet.
N'welhi Tia: Once you've had a comprehensive look about, please meet me at the Archeion to report your findings.
-quest accepted

===Search for the specimen at the designated location===
System: You see no trolls great or small. Perhaps a bit further in...

===Search for the specimen at the designated location===
System: The errant troll is nowhere to be seen. N'welhi Tia may have had better luck.

===Rendezvous with N'welhi Tia===
N'welhi Tia: I see. I was unable to find the specimen either...
N'welhi Tia: However, I did meet someone who claimed to have seen it in Mornveil Forest. Let us head there and see if we can track it down.

===Speak with N'welhi Tia===
N'welhi Tia: Yes, there can be no doubt. These are Shaggles's footprints.
N'welhi Tia: Ahem. I have uncovered the specimen's trail. It should be close. If you find it under threat from the local fauna, you may dispatch its assailants.

N'welhi Tia: Oh no! Poor Shaggles has been set upon by trolls. Trolls! Quick, to the rescue!

N'welhi Tia: Oh, I'm so glad you're unharmed.
N'welhi Tia: You're all safe now. Come on, let's go home, sweetie.

Shaggles: Grrrlence, buffoon! Grrr...
Shaggles: The Archeion is under threat! I must do something. Grrr!

Question: What will you say?
>You can talk?
>What is this threat?
---
Shaggles: Grrr! You can understand me?

N'welhi Tia: Wait, are you able to communicate with him?
N'welhi Tia: Incredible! I've never met someone with such a skill before.
N'welhi Tia: This bundle of joy was born in Labyrinthos. However, he was abandoned by his mother and in quite the state by the time we found him.
N'welhi Tia: He possesses remarkable intelligence for one of his kind. We've elected to use him as part of a study into the effects of growing up in an artificial environment.
N'welhi Tia: I had seen him making gestures that indicated he'd been reading the tomes here, but I thought he was just copying those around him. To think he actually understands speech...
N'welhi Tia: Though I do wonder exactly why you are able to understand him and I am not.

Question: What will you say?
>I'm sort of special.
>It's a secret.
---
N'welhi Tia: Really? Oh, what I wouldn't give to understand him too...

Shaggles: Grrr... You possess the Echo, don't you? I find it difficult to grrr the way your kind do, but I suppose it makes sense that you understand my general sentiments.
Shaggles: I happened to learn of said power from the tomes in the Archeion. Honestly, that buffoon over there is surrounded by a sea of knowledge and he makes no effort to engage with it. Grrr!
Shaggles: At any rate, I'm glad to finally have someone to talk to. As I was saying earlier, the Archeion is in grave danger.
Shaggles: Some grrrless gleaner managed to bring woodworms in with them during a visit. If we leave them be, they're bound to cause irreparable damage to the materials at the facility!
Shaggles: I tried my best to tell that buffoon, but it was no use. That's why I took a chance and went in search of some of my own kind to see if they would help, but you saw how that turned out...

N'welhi Tia: Well, what is he saying?
N'welhi Tia: Oh deary me!
N'welhi Tia: Still, it was most courageous of him to try and solve the issue on his own.
N'welhi Tia: Now that we're aware of it, we need to sort out this pest problem at once.
N'welhi Tia: Would you mind helping out a little longer? You're the only one who can understand him, after all, and he seems malms ahead of us with regard to the situation at hand...
