==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' ...May their souls be reunited one day. For that and so many other blessed possibilities, we must avert the Final Days.

'''Alisaie:''' ...

===Accepting the quest===
'''Estinien:''' You are ready, then?
'''Estinien:''' In that case, let's head to Palaka's Stand. No doubt Vrtra is awaiting us.

''Optional Dialogue''

'''Viraban:''' Would that I were younger, I would pick up my spear and drive these monsters from our borders. Alas, time is a foe that cannot be vanquished.

'''Mihsaja:''' In times such as these, those who reside in the stewards' village must be strong. Although I must admit, at times I find such a prospect difficult...

'''Jubkhal:''' I count my blessings that I managed to escape here, but that beast... I've never seen anything like it, and I can't get its terrifying visage out of my head...

'''Utpala:''' Thank you for coming to my rescue. Now that I'm safe, I must follow your example and find a way to help where I can.

'''Nahbshayra:''' I was under the impression that things had settled down, but no sooner did I return than these fiends appeared. What am I to do now?

'''Qeryde:''' We have you to thank for our survival. It's not something I'll soon forget, you can be sure.

'''Yeruvvet:''' First hordes of beasts, now a mighty wyrm... Our world grows stranger by the day...

===Speak with Vrtra. (Cutscene)===
'''Vrtra:''' Rest easy, for all is well here.
'''Vrtra:''' Young Matsya returned with the babe safe in his arms. Owing to a warm bed, the girl hath already begun to regain her strength.
'''Vrtra:''' Less joyously received was word of the mother and father's fate, as well as that of their transformed neighbors...
'''Vrtra:''' How many children of Thavnair must we lose to this calamity?
'''Vrtra:''' Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters... Every death another void that can never be filled...
'''Vrtra:''' We who survive them must carry the weight of their memory, as we strive to regain a semblance of what we have lost.
'''Vrtra:''' Qerasaf and Mehvan's babe is a child of Thavnair as well. I thank you for returning her to us safe.
'''Yeruvvet:''' O, most great and merciful wyrm... I have not the words to express my gratitude...
'''Yeruvvet:''' They say that were it not for you...brave Matsya and the child would have been lost to us forever.
'''Yeruvvet:''' Long had I heard the rumors that a mighty dragon had forged a pact of friendship with the satrap, but never would I have expected such a kind and gentle soul.
'''Vrtra:''' Truth in part...but not in whole.
'''Vrtra:''' I am Vrtra, and for years uncounted hath this isle served as mine abode.
'''Vrtra:''' ...An isle I have ruled over as satrap, with Ahewann as my loyal servant.
'''???:''' Are my ears to be believed!? You were the true satrap all along!?
'''Alisaie:''' Nidhana!? What are you doing here?
'''Nidhana:''' I heard from the Radiant that you had gone to help the people of Palaka's Stand in their time of need.
'''Nidhana:''' And so I and several of my colleagues from the Great Work came to offer our services.
'''Matsya:''' The alchemists have already brewed up some potions for Mehvan's daughter!
'''Nidhana:''' But enough about us ─ ''you'' and your role are the far greater enigma!
'''Nidhana:''' If you were the true satrap all along, could it be that young Varshahn was...''created''...to serve as your emissary?
'''Vrtra:''' Thou didst suspect the boy was but a simulacrum?
'''Nidhana:''' A rumor has circulated for many years around the High Crucible that our most skilled alchemists were once commissioned by the satrap's family in secret to fashion a mammet indistinguishable from a living boy.
'''Nidhana:''' Looking at Varshahn with that knowledge...I simply put two and two together.
'''Nidhana:''' I was not alone in drawing this conclusion. But like me, they no doubt recognized that the satrap was using the simulacrum to work more closely with his people, and decided not to press the issue.
'''Nidhana:''' I had always assumed one of Ahewann's associates was manipulating it from afar ─ though the truth is indeed far more surprising!
'''Nidhana:''' It is an honor to meet you in the flesh, Master Vrtra. Pray allow me to express my gratitude.
'''Nidhana:''' If you had not believed in and given unto us your scales, I do not know where we would be. Thank you...from the bottom of my heart.
'''Vrtra:''' 'Twas thou and thy fellow alchemists that fashioned the means to unmake the towers. You were the saviors not only of Radz-at-Han, but the star.
'''Nidhana:''' Far too kind you are, Master Vrtra...but the star yet wants for salvation. Once more will my colleagues and I commit the knowledge and resources at our disposal to the mission of aiding the people, in this their darkest hour.
'''Vrtra:''' 'Twould seem this place is in good hands. I would return to see how Radz-at-Han fares. What will you do, Scions?
'''Alphinaud:''' I worry for the survivors we met at Purusa. Shall we pay them a visit before making our way back?
'''Nidhana:''' In that case, might I ask a favor? Nothing too burdensome, I promise. This way!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Estinien:''' Vrtra chose to reveal his identity to the villagers of Palaka's Stand before all others. A wise choice, considering the warm reception. Heh, he even seemed a little relieved...
'''Estinien:''' It remains to be seen how the people of Radz-at-Han will take the news, but if this was any indication, he need not worry.

'''Alisaie:''' What a lovely aroma... I wonder what sort of spices those are?

'''Alphinaud:''' Curious, isn't it? The burning sky is so ominous, yet the crackling flames here are somehow...calming.

'''Matsya:''' Oh, [Forename]! Running through that dark jungle, there was a time when I thought all was lost! Had Master Vrtra and Estinien not arrived when they did...
'''Matsya:''' ...No. I must focus on the good. Mehvan's precious daughter is safe and sound, and that is all that matters.

'''Qeryde:''' We have you to thank for our survival. It's not something I'll soon forget, you can be sure.

'''Yeruvvet:''' Had both you and Master Vrtra not intervened, many and more would have no doubt perished. I am forever in your debt.

'''Jubkhal:''' To think that the dragon watched over us all this time... Of course the revelation came as a surprise, but strangely, I am not afraid.

===Speak with Nidhana.===
'''Nidhana:''' Needs to simmer just a bit longer, I'd say...
'''Nidhana:''' In the meantime, I was hoping I might ask you a few questions. The red sky, these terrible beasts... What in the name of the Sisters is happening here in Thavnair?
'''Nidhana:''' Oh my, that's rather a lot to take in...
'''Nidhana:''' ...It would seem the situation is even more grave than we suspected. Thank you, friend. My colleagues and I will use your knowledge to see if it can further our own research.
'''Nidhana:''' ...And with that, here we are! A pot of piping hot chai, brewed from my own secret recipe of spices and tea leaves, together with hearty helpings of rich milk and purest sugar!
'''Nidhana:''' I've made enough for everyone in the village. Might I trouble you to deliver a few cups?
'''Alphinaud:''' The drink has medicinal properties, then?
'''Nidhana:''' Not in the least! The ingredients are quite ordinary. It's so very tasty, though, and has a way of lifting the spirits.
'''Nidhana:''' The spicy aroma and distinctive sweetness of chai is a simple, everyday pleasure on our island. Sometimes the best medicine is the simplest.
'''Alphinaud:''' A lovely sentiment, Nidhana. By all means, allow us to assist.
'''Estinien:''' While you lot distribute hot beverages, I'll do a sweep for errant beasts to slay ─ a far less arduous task, no doubt. When you've finished, look for me at the Wakeful Torana.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Nidhana:''' I would be most obliged if you could deliver a few cups of chai to the villagers. I am certain it will do much to soothe their aching bodies and heavy hearts.

===Deliver the hot chai to the villagers.===
'''Nahbshayra:''' Look at them all, lazing about! Knowing full well the beasts might strike again at any moment! Do they not realize their lives are in danger!?
'''Nahbshayra:''' Well, I, for one, intend to survive! I'm too young to die! Yes, I'll leave this island behind if I must!
'''Nahbshayra:''' But...but where would I go? Is anywhere safe these days!? [Item Request: Hot Chai]
'''Nahbshayra:''' A cup of chai? Can't you see I have more important things to worry about!?
'''Nahbshayra:''' No...no, you're right. It is precisely in times like these that we must strive to remain calm and steady.
'''Nahbshayra:''' I do believe I'll visit the elder and see what needs to be done. If there is any way I can aid my village and my friends, I will do it.

'''Vishryde:''' I'm sorry, I... I just want to be left alone...
'''Vishryde:''' My best friend and I...we fled the village together... One of the beasts took him, and...and...
'''Vishryde:''' It was all I could do to run. All the while...I could hear this monstrous voice screaming my name...[Item Request: Hot Chai]
'''Vishryde:''' Hmm? This is for me...?
'''Vishryde:''' Ahh... We used to drink chai together often. Shared stories over steaming cups after a hard day's work.
'''Vishryde:''' Thank you, friend. The pain may never pass, but I must press on all the same. For his memory, and for we who must remember...

'''Weary Citizen:''' Hm...? Wait. I know you. You were the one who saved us from those beasts back at the temple...
'''Weary Citizen:''' Were it not for you ─ well, let's not even think about that. At times like this, we mustn't dwell on what might've been, but look to the future...
'''Weary Citizen:''' But what future awaits us? How can Radz-at-Han hope to recover from this? Most of my friends are gone, and I don't know where to turn...[Item Request: Hot Chai]
'''Weary Citizen:''' A cup of chai? Well, if you insist...
'''Weary Citizen:''' Ahhh...that aroma has a way of clearing the mind... Come to think of it, we've faced our fair share of trials in the past as well. And no matter how hard the times, we've always come together as a people united.
'''Weary Citizen:''' One day at a time, one step at a time ─ for that is all any of us can do. Yes... Back to work. Once I've finished this cup. Thank you.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Nahbshayra:''' Ahhh...how the warmth of the chai spreads through all my limbs... I can't remember the last time I've breathed so easily.

'''Vishryde:''' Many thanks for the chai. It helps me to remember him as he was, cup in hand and a smile on his lips...

'''Weary Citizen:''' First order of business is securing food and shelter. We also must contact our friends in the city and see how they fare. Hah, no rest for the weary!

'''Alisaie:''' The aroma of that chai truly is irresistible... Do you suppose Nidhana would mind if I helped myself to a cup?

'''Alphinaud:''' I heard that the survivors we met at the temple have all returned safely. The crisis may not have passed, but being home and among friends should do much to ease their spirits.

===Speak with Nidhana.===
'''Nidhana:''' Thank you for delivering the chai, [Forename]. Did it help to lift the villagers' spirits?
'''Nidhana:''' That is heartening to hear, indeed! The Final Days show no signs of abating, but that is all the more reason that we must try to keep our composure.
'''Nidhana:''' Our lives have been forever changed. The people we have lost will never return to us. These tragedies will long weigh on our hearts...
'''Nidhana:''' But we have the capacity to live with our suffering. To carry the agony till we too join the fallen in death.
'''Nidhana:''' It is not a surrender, but a recognition. For it is only in acceptance that we find the strength to move forward.

==Steps==
*Survey the designated location.
*Rescue [[Mehvan]].
*Search for Mehvan's baby.
*Have [[Alphinaud]] tend to the baby.
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Alisaie is gazing out intently between the trees.

*As she surveyed the dense jungle, Alisaie caught sight of someone being pursued by a great beast. Whether or not that person is Mehvan remains to be seen, but regardless, you must give chase.

*The figure Alisaie spied was indeed Mehvan, but before you and the twins can slay her pursuer, the beast seizes the poor woman and casts her into the dark waters, along with her infant child. Without hesitation, you dive into the water after the pair.

*You find Mehvan and know at once she has drawn her last breath. With yet another tragedy weighing heavy on your heart, you cast about the water for her child.

*Mehvan's infant daughter appears to have miraculously survived the plunge. To save the child from drowning, however, you must swim to the surface and seek Alphinaud's aid.

*Alphinaud attempts to tend to the babe with his healing magicks, but soon concludes that she will need a warm bed and rest in order to survive. In that moment, you are beset by yet more terrible beasts. Entrusting the child's safe return to an anxious-yet-determined Matsya, you and your companions prepare for battle.

*Alphinaud takes stock of your current situation, observing that─for what small comfort it might offer─the ill-fated Qerasaf and Mehvan perished without being transformed into beasts themselves, meaning their souls will return to the aetherial sea. Having done all that can be done, you and your companions prepare to move on.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' We must go after them at once!

'''Matsya:''' Wh-What!? Was that Mehvan!?

===Accepting the quest===
'''Alisaie:''' Over there! My view was blocked by the trees, but I'm sure I saw someone being chased by a beast!
'''Alisaie:''' [Forename], go with Matsya and search along the river! Alphinaud and I will circle around from the south!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' We've reached the Font of Maya... Maybe they're hiding in the ruins?

===Survey the designated location. (Cutscene)===
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Matsya:''' That's her... No, I'm...I'm sure of it! Mehvan!
'''Mehvan:''' Don't, please!
''Although Alphinaud and Alisaie tries to attack, the abomination grabs Mehvan, who clutches her baby, and throws her into the water.''
'''Matsya:''' No...gods have mercy!
| Voiced cutscene end. |

===Rescue Mehvan.===
Mehvan's lifeless body floats before you, battered and broken. Her death no doubt came swiftly.
Her infant daughter, however, is nowhere to be seen...

''Optional dialogue''
There is nothing more you can do for the ill-fated Mehvan. Her child, however, may yet be saved...

===Search for Mehvan's baby.===
You take the babe into your arms. If she yet lives, you cannot tell, but she will surely not survive unless you carry her to the surface at once.

''Optional dialogue, if interacted with Mehvan again''
It is too late for Mehvan, but perhaps not for her child...

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alisaie:''' So? Where are they!?

'''Matsya:''' Oh no, no, no... Wh-What do we do? What do we do!?

===Have Alphinaud tend to the baby. (Cutscene)===
'''Alphinaud:''' Did you find Mehvan and the child!?
'''Alphinaud:''' Damn it all...
'''Alphinaud:''' You have the child!? Let me see her!

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Alisaie:''' She's so cold, Alphinaud...
'''Alphinaud:''' The child is alert, and I see no wounds. And yet, she grows weaker...
'''Alphinaud:''' My spells can do no more. What she needs is a change of clothes and a warm bed. We must hurry back!
''A horde of abominations approach the group.''
'''Alphinaud:''' Not now...!
'''Alisaie:''' Matsya, take the child!
'''Alphinaud:''' Godsdammit, it appears we've made enough noise to be heard for malms around. More will be upon us ere long.
'''Alphinaud:''' We make our stand here. Matsya, can you take her back to the village?
'''Matsya:''' Th-The child? All...all by myself!? You can't be serious!
'''Alisaie:''' The beasts will follow you home unless we stop them here─and so we shall.
'''Alisaie:''' Be strong, Matsya! Her life is in your hands!
'''Matsya:''' R-Right! I...I can do it!
'''Alisaie:''' I know you can! We'll keep them busy, Matsya. Go ─ quickly!

'''Matsya:''' Steady... You know the way...
'''Matsya:''' No, no! Not you, too...
'''Matsya:''' Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid...
'''Matsya:''' To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity...
'''Matsya:''' 'Tis a perilous path... Death...lurks in the dark...
'''Matsya:''' N-No! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!
'''Matsya:''' Do not avert your eyes. See...see your life for what it is...
'''Matsya:''' See how the hardships make you strong. Every doubt reforged...
''Two abominations stand in Matsya's way.''
'''Matsya:''' Every...agony...
'''Matsya:''' Huh?

'''Matsya:''' The divinity...?
'''Vrtra:''' ...Nay. But one who would deliver thee just the same.
'''Matsya:''' Please... You must save the child!
'''Matsya:''' She is all that remains of Mehvan and Qerasaf. Please!
'''Estinien:''' Well, well. Seems the babe's taken a liking to you.
'''Vrtra:''' Thou art strong, little one. Let us convey thee to thy home.
'''Estinien:''' I spied our friends as we flew in...they appeared to be holding their own against the horde.

'''Alisaie:''' Right. That's the last of them. We should hurry and find Matsya...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I have a feeling he'll be fine.
'''Alisaie:''' Really? How can you be so sure?
> He had help. From on high.
'''Alisaie:''' What, like divine aid...?

'''Estinien:''' A fine battle it must have been. Shame I missed it.
'''Alphinaud:''' Estinien! It was you who came to Matsya's aid?
'''Estinien:''' I was only along for the ride ─ Vrtra was the one who saw the boy was in need. The two are headed back to the village.
'''Alphinaud:''' Where the wyrm will honor Ahewann's wishes and finally reveal himself to his people...
'''Estinien:''' Perhaps so. Will you go and join them?
'''Alisaie:''' There's something I need to do first.
'''Alisaie:''' Mehvan gave her life so that her child might live. She deserves better than to be left to drift alone.
'''Alisaie:''' She deserves to be laid to rest beside her husband, at least. Will you help me?
| Voiced cutscene end |
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alisaie:''' ...

'''Estinien:''' Go. I will keep watch until your work is done.

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' We have done what we can. 'Tis for the villagers of Palaka's Stand to perform the funeral rites.
'''Alphinaud:''' If nothing else, Mehvan and Qerasaf died as they lived ─ as themselves, and not as beasts. Their souls will find peace in the aetherial sea.
'''Alphinaud:''' To think the day would come when even that smallest of solaces would be this comforting...

'''Matsya:''' Do not avert your eyes. See...see your life for what it is...
'''Matsya:''' See how the hardships make you strong. Every doubt reforged...
''Two abominations stand in Matsya's way.''
'''Matsya:''' Every...agony...
'''Matsya:''' Huh?

'''Matsya:''' The divinity...?
'''Vrtra:''' ...Nay. But one who would deliver thee just the same.
'''Matsya:''' Please... You must save the child!
'''Matsya:''' She is all that remains of Mehvan and Qerasaf. Please!
'''Estinien:''' Well, well. Seems the babe's taken a liking to you.
'''Vrtra:''' Thou art strong, little one. Let us convey thee to thy home.
'''Estinien:''' I spied our friends as we flew in...they appeared to be holding their own against the horde.

'''Alisaie:''' Right. That's the last of them. We should hurry and find Matsya...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I have a feeling he'll be fine.
'''Alisaie:''' Really? How can you be so sure?
> He had help. From on high.
'''Alisaie:''' What, like divine aid...?

'''Estinien:''' A fine battle it must have been. Shame I missed it.
'''Alphinaud:''' Estinien! It was you who came to Matsya's aid?
'''Estinien:''' I was only along for the ride ─ Vrtra was the one who saw the boy was in need. The two are headed back to the village.
'''Alphinaud:''' Where the wyrm will honor Ahewann's wishes and finally reveal himself to his people...
'''Estinien:''' Perhaps so. Will you go and join them?
'''Alisaie:''' There's something I need to do first.
'''Alisaie:''' Mehvan gave her life so that her child might live. She deserves better than to be left to drift alone.
'''Alisaie:''' She deserves to be laid to rest beside her husband, at least. Will you help me?

'''Alisaie:''' ...

'''Estinien:''' Go. I will keep watch until your work is done.

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' We have done what we can. 'Tis for the villagers of Palaka's Stand to perform the funeral rites.
'''Alphinaud:''' If nothing else, Mehvan and Qerasaf died as they lived ─ as themselves, and not as beasts. Their souls will find peace in the aetherial sea.
'''Alphinaud:''' To think the day would come when even that smallest of solaces would be this comforting...

==Steps==
*Survey the designated location.
*Rescue [[Mehvan]].
*Search for Mehvan's baby.
*Have [[Alphinaud]] tend to the baby.
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Alisaie is gazing out intently between the trees.

*As she surveyed the dense jungle, Alisaie caught sight of someone being pursued by a great beast. Whether or not that person is Mehvan remains to be seen, but regardless, you must give chase.

*The figure Alisaie spied was indeed Mehvan, but before you and the twins can slay her pursuer, the beast seizes the poor woman and casts her into the dark waters, along with her infant child. Without hesitation, you dive into the water after the pair.

*You find Mehvan and know at once she has drawn her last breath. With yet another tragedy weighing heavy on your heart, you cast about the water for her child.

*Mehvan's infant daughter appears to have miraculously survived the plunge. To save the child from drowning, however, you must swim to the surface and seek Alphinaud's aid.

*Alphinaud attempts to tend to the babe with his healing magicks, but soon concludes that she will need a warm bed and rest in order to survive. In that moment, you are beset by yet more terrible beasts. Entrusting the child's safe return to an anxious-yet-determined Matsya, you and your companions prepare for battle.

*Alphinaud takes stock of your current situation, observing that─for what small comfort it might offer─the ill-fated Qerasaf and Mehvan perished without being transformed into beasts themselves, meaning their souls will return to the aetherial sea. Having done all that can be done, you and your companions prepare to move on.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' We must go after them at once!

'''Matsya:''' Wh-What!? Was that Mehvan!?

===Accepting the quest===
'''Alisaie:''' Over there! My view was blocked by the trees, but I'm sure I saw someone being chased by a beast!
'''Alisaie:''' [Forename], go with Matsya and search along the river! Alphinaud and I will circle around from the south!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' We've reached the Font of Maya... Maybe they're hiding in the ruins?

===Survey the designated location. (Cutscene)===
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Matsya:''' That's her... No, I'm...I'm sure of it! Mehvan!
'''Mehvan:''' Don't, please!
''Although Alphinaud and Alisaie tries to attack, the abomination grabs Mehvan, who clutches her baby, and throws her into the water.''
'''Matsya:''' No...gods have mercy!
| Voiced cutscene end. |

===Rescue Mehvan.===
Mehvan's lifeless body floats before you, battered and broken. Her death no doubt came swiftly.
Her infant daughter, however, is nowhere to be seen...

''Optional dialogue''
There is nothing more you can do for the ill-fated Mehvan. Her child, however, may yet be saved...

===Search for Mehvan's baby.===
You take the babe into your arms. If she yet lives, you cannot tell, but she will surely not survive unless you carry her to the surface at once.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alisaie:''' So? Where are they!?

'''Matsya:''' Oh no, no, no... Wh-What do we do? What do we do!?

===Have Alphinaud tend to the baby. (Cutscene)===
'''Alphinaud:''' Did you find Mehvan and the child!?
'''Alphinaud:''' Damn it all...
'''Alphinaud:''' You have the child!? Let me see her!

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Alisaie:''' She's so cold, Alphinaud...
'''Alphinaud:''' The child is alert, and I see no wounds. And yet, she grows weaker...
'''Alphinaud:''' My spells can do no more. What she needs is a change of clothes and a warm bed. We must hurry back!
''A horde of abominations approach the group.''
'''Alphinaud:''' Not now...!
'''Alisaie:''' Matsya, take the child!
'''Alphinaud:''' Godsdammit, it appears we've made enough noise to be heard for malms around. More will be upon us ere long.
'''Alphinaud:''' We make our stand here. Matsya, can you take her back to the village?
'''Matsya:''' Th-The child? All...all by myself!? You can't be serious!
'''Alisaie:''' The beasts will follow you home unless we stop them here─and so we shall.
'''Alisaie:''' Be strong, Matsya! Her life is in your hands!
'''Matsya:''' R-Right! I...I can do it!
'''Alisaie:''' I know you can! We'll keep them busy, Matsya. Go ─ quickly!

'''Matsya:''' Steady... You know the way...
'''Matsya:''' No, no! Not you, too...
'''Matsya:''' Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid...
'''Matsya:''' To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity...
'''Matsya:''' 'Tis a perilous path... Death...lurks in the dark...
'''Matsya:''' N-No! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!
'''Matsya:''' Do not avert your eyes. See...see your life for what it is...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' I can tend to the rest. Pray look after Matsya ─ no doubt what we have seen here weighs even heavier on his heart than ours.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' Stay by Matsya's side, [Forename]. Unlike us, he is not accustomed to seeing such horrors...

===Speak with Matsya. (Cutscene)===
'''Matsya:''' Oh, [Forename]! [Forename]!
'''Matsya:''' This is Yeruvvet, the elder here. He is hurt, but ─ praise be to the Sisters ─ he still lives!
'''Yeruvvet:''' Young Matsya here has told me everything. I have not the words to express my gratitude for your aid.
'''Yeruvvet:''' When the heavens began to burn, we were afraid, but did our best to carry on as we always have done...
'''Yeruvvet:''' Until today, when those unholy beasts came pouring into our village, a flood of midnight and death...
'''Yeruvvet:''' There are no words to describe what followed. Men and women I have known since they were babes struck down by the creatures, only to rise again to join the murderous horde, in the guise of those same hideous fiends...
'''Yeruvvet:''' In the chaos, a handful of our villagers fled for their lives. I can only hope they have found their way to safety...
'''Yeruvvet:''' Matsya, do you perchance remember Qerasaf and Mehvan? The young couple who always bought your freshest catches...
'''Matsya:''' How could I forget, Elder? When I first came to peddle my wares ─ desperate to eke out a living ─ they showed me such kindness...
'''Matsya:''' Others shunned me as an outsider, as is their way. But Qerasaf and Mehvan bought my fish, and sung its praises. They turned my fortunes around!
'''Yeruvvet:''' Alas, I fear they are in terrible danger. I saw them running towards Agama Temple, one of those beasts in close pursuit.
'''Yeruvvet:''' They had their child ─ still but a tiny babe. To elude these fiends while caring for one so young is an impossible task, surely. I beg of you, go to their aid...
'''Matsya:''' I...I want to help them. Yet I am but a fisherman ─ I cannot face beasts on my own. Will you come with me?
'''Matsya:''' Oh, thank you! Agama Temple lies to the west of here. We must hurry!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry─Alphinaud and I will watch over the village until you return. Go and find Matsya's friends.

===Speak with Matsya again.===
'''Matsya:''' The temple is just ahead...
'''Matsya:''' It was built by those who worship Saint Agama, but has sadly fallen into disrepair in recent years.
'''Matsya:''' If my friends made it this far, no doubt they are hiding somewhere amidst the ruins.
'''???:''' No, please! Stay ba─annngggh...gggaaah!
'''Matsya:''' That was Qerasaf! Oh, no ─ this is not good!

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I'll take a look.
'''Matsya:''' P-Please do! The cry came from the ruins. You must hurry!
> Wait here.
'''Matsya:''' Y-Yes, I understand... The cry came from the ruins! You must hurry!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' That was Qerasaf's voice ─ I'm sure of it! Oh gods...gods have mercy...

===Aid the wounded Qerasaf. (Cutscene)===
The man lies motionless on the ground, bearing a grievous wound...
'''Matsya:''' I'm sorry, [Forename]. I tried to stay behind, but I couldn't...
'''Matsya:''' No...it cannot be!
'''Qerasaf:''' Is someone... Anyone...
'''Qerasaf:''' My arms...so heavy... And my legs... I cannot feel my legs...
'''Qerasaf:''' My wife...fled with our daughter...
'''Qerasaf:''' I need to find them...need to be with them...
'''Qerasaf:''' I need...
'''Matsya:''' Qerasaf! No, Qerasaf ─ you must stay strong!
'''Qerasaf:''' More time... I thought I had...
'''Qerasaf:''' I...I don't want to die...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Speak to Qerasaf.
> Dry Qerasaf's tears.

'''Qerasaf:''' Thank you...
'''Qerasaf:''' Please...find them...
'''Matsya:''' Mehvan still lives. And she has their child...
'''Matsya:''' We must search the jungle between here and Palaka's Stand. There is nowhere else she could have gone. I think...
'''Matsya:''' Forgive me, Qerasaf... Once we have saved your wife and child, we will return and lay you to rest...

===Survey the area.===
You see no tracks or other signs of recent travel. Mehvan and the child must be elsewhere...

===Continue to survey the area.===
If Mehvan and her daughter came through this area recently, you see no evidence of their passage...

===Speak with Matsya. (Cutscene)===
'''Matsya:''' D-Did you see any sign of them? I found nothing!
'''Matsya:''' Perhaps the beasts have chased them farther from the village.
'''Matsya:''' Oh, gods above, I beseech you! Pray deliver Mehvan and her little one to safety...

'''Meanwhile, in the skies above Thavnair─'''
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Estinien:''' No more enemies to trouble us here...
''Estinien's linkshell rings.''
'''Estinien:''' ...It's me. How fare you below?
'''Estinien:''' ...Understood. I will inform Vrtra.
'''Estinien:''' Chaos and panic sweep Radz-at-Han, and many more have succumbed to the transformations.
'''Estinien:''' Amidst the fray, Ahewann fell...protecting a grief-stricken father.
'''Estinien:''' My friends fight alongside your Radiant Host to secure the capital.
'''Estinien:''' Beasts have been sighted in Palaka's Stand as well. We have divided our forces in hopes of quelling the threat there.
'''Estinien:''' Of small solace is that we now know what triggers the transformation. As my companions tell it...
'''Vrtra:''' So it is the very fear and despair in their hearts which inflict this abhorrent punishment upon them...
'''Vrtra:''' ...A nightmare from which my children will never awake. O capricious and cruel fate ─ they are undeserving of such condemnation...
'''Estinien:''' Will you wallow in sorrow or rise to the occasion?
'''Estinien:''' Radz-at-Han is leaderless. Before he passed, Ahewann sought to reveal the truth to his people. Honor his wishes.
'''Vrtra:''' To what end? To breed a new conflict between dragon and man?
'''Vrtra:''' These claws could reduce thee to shreds with a touch. These jaws, crush thy bones to dust.
'''Vrtra:''' Only through my proxy could I walk with my children. Without him, I am a bringer of fear ─ no different from the beasts which beleaguer them.
'''Estinien:''' Perhaps so...
'''Estinien:''' Only in death were Hraesvelgr and Shiva united. Indeed, whenever man and dragon have come together, death has ever been the inevitable result.
'''Estinien:''' 'Twas our fear of your kind that sparked a nigh-endless war.
'''Estinien:''' Fear and hate of which Nidhogg drank deep as he laid waste to my homeland.
'''Estinien:''' And in turn I took my revenge on his brood. Blood for blood; pain for pain. I thought nothing of theirs ─ only of mine.
'''Estinien:''' And yet...were the chasm between us too vast and too deep, Hraesvelgr would not have borne Ysayle to battle and our rescue.
'''Estinien:''' He would have never entrusted a mortal champion with one of his eyes, and the Dragonsong War would still rage on.
'''Estinien:''' And I would still wage a never-ending war of violence and vengeance, the future of our star be damned.
'''Estinien:''' I cannot speak for Ahewann's greater goals. Yet I know that he served you ─ served your people ─ long and true.
'''Estinien:''' In this time of unprecedented crisis, he turned to you. You could do worse than to place your trust in him.
'''Estinien:''' It will not be easy, but the future of Radz-at-Han hangs in the balance.
'''Estinien:''' We have company!
'''Vrtra:''' I am ready.
'''Estinien:''' The hour is come, Vrtra. It's all or nothing!

==Steps==
*Speak with [[J'lakshai]].

==Journal==
* Northota is looking decidedly smug.

==Dialogue==
System: Associate guildship hunts will be available once you have fulfilled certain conditions within the main scenario quests for Endwalker.

Northota: Good to see you, ''Forename''. I've heard a great deal about your recent exploits─as has everyone else!
Northota: That's why I feel confident recommending you for associate-level hunts. The challenges you face from here on out will be significantly tougher to contend with, but I wager you can handle them─you've yet to give me reason to believe otherwise!
Northota: Associate specimens are not only more threatening, but also more difficult to track down. You'll have to seek them out in the world's most inaccessible and inhospitable reaches─like bloody Garlemald. Gods, I hate that place.
Northota: Now, if Ilsabard's unfriendly north was our only problem, I'd simply remind you to strap on your furs and take some ale for the road, but... Well, perhaps it's best if you ask J'lakshai what ''she's'' working on. There's nothing quite like hearing it straight from the chocobo's mouth.
'''(Optional)'''
Northota: No, no, I do think I'll leave this bit to J'lakshai. Don't worry, she won't bite.

J'lakshai: Yes, yes, I heard from here. If Northota insists, I will tell you ''precisely'' what I'm dealing with at the moment.
J'lakshai: Let's look at this request from Chrysielle, shall we? She's Sharlayan's sole xenobiologist─a self-proclaimed one, mind you─and it's her raison d'être to prove that life exists upon stars other than our own.
J'lakshai: The astronomers have long since banned her from their meetings and refuse any request she makes on principle, but alas, we have no such luxury. She's been demanding samples from the moon for some time now, despite the obvious impossibility of acquiring them.
J'lakshai: Associate hunts often present such challenges─ones with no ready solution. Though we gleaners pride ourselves on our resourcefulness, all we can do in such cases is post them on the board and hope for a miracle.
J'lakshai: Try telling that to the clients, though...
J'lakshai: In any case, I would be thankful if you'd take a look at the board and try your hand at any bills that suit you. The guildship has high hopes for your success! ...No pressure, of course.

System: Associate guildship mark bills are now available.
System: You are now permitted to take bills for associate hunts from guildship hunt boards found in Old Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han.
System: New quests and senior marks will become available from Northota in Old Sharlayan upon reaching level 89.

==Journal==
*G'raha Tia is eager to share all you have learned with your companions.

*Having finished your investigation at Ruveydah Fibers, G'raha Tia would reconvene with your companions, that you might discuss all you have learned. With luck, they too will have information of their own to share.

*Back at the plaza, you share your findings with your fellow Scions. They are troubled to learn that the first transformation occurred before the sky began to burn, strongly suggesting that the change could occur elsewhere without any warning whatsoever. As you ponder the implications, the satrap appears to inform you that the threat within the walls of Radz–at–Han has been quelled. No sooner has he attempted to give assurance to his people than does the young fisherman Matsya rush to the scene, exclaiming that Palaka's Stand is surrounded by fiends. Fearing for the safety of her grandson in the village, an inconsolable woman falls into a panic. Consumed by ominous black mist, she subsequently transforms into a beast before your eyes. You manage to subdue the threat, but at great cost, for in the midst of battle, Ahewann gives his life to save a young father. Devastated and demoralized by all you have witnessed, you and your companions nevertheless resolve to make for Palaka's Stand and save what souls may yet be saved.

*You join Alisaie, Alphinaud, and Matsya on the road leading to Palaka's Stand, though it appears the way is barred by prowling beasts. While the twins keep Matsya safe in the shadow, you forge ahead to clear a path.

*You succeed in hunting down one of the beasts that was blocking the road, and as it dissipates you hear the desperate words of the person it once was. The path is not yet clear, however, and so you must press onward, wary and ready.

*You dispatch two more beasts and clear a way to Palaka's Stand. Upon your arrival, however, you and your companions are confronted with a devastating sight. Dead and wounded lie strewn about, and tortured sobs and screams fill the air.

*Shaken by the tragedy unfolding before her eyes, Alisaie steels her nerves and resolves to aid the villagers who are still alive. She bids you do the same, and you set out to offer what succor you can.

*To your dismay, most of the villagers you seek out are beyond saving. Resigned, you turn back to Alphinaud, ready to discuss your next plan of action.

*While he laments those villagers who have lost their lives, Alphinaud fears that many more may have been transformed into beasts. If so, the carnage in Palaka's Stand is only the beginning...

'''Djinabaha:''' Can the despair in a man's own heart consign him to such a terrible fate...?

===Accepting the quest===
'''G'raha Tia:''' We were to reconvene with the others in front of Meghaduta, were we not? That should be just outside.
'''G'raha Tia:''' With any luck, they will have already returned from their own investigations.
'''G'raha Tia:''' My friend, we must take our leave. I pray that your establishment is spared further tragedy. But remember: your lives are far more precious than any wares. If you are ordered to flee, do so without hesitation.
'''Djinabaha:''' Indeed... I thank you for your concern, and pray you two take care as well.

'''Alphinaud:''' Fortuitous timing. Alisaie and I completed our own investigations not long ago.
'''Y'shtola:''' Then we should take a moment to compare notes. Shall we begin with the two of you?
'''Alphinaud:''' ...So the merchant Khalzahl was gravely concerned about his business in the days preceding his untimely end.
'''Alisaie:''' The tales we heard were much the same. The first victims to be changed into blasphemies were all overcome with anguish of one manner or another.
'''Alisaie:''' Then those who saw their loved ones stolen before their eyes succumbed to a similar panic, setting in motion a chain of transformations.
'''Alphinaud:''' Fear, unease, despair...these negative feelings serve as a catalyst.
'''Y'shtola:''' If so, then it is not unlike the calamity that befell the ancients.
'''Y'shtola:''' With their creation magicks they unwittingly gave form to untold horrors.
'''Y'shtola:''' Had they simply lost control, surely it would have manifested in many forms ─ not all of them monstrous.
'''Y'shtola:''' Yet somehow this phenomenon is triggered solely by the darkness in their hearts. A common thread with what we now witness.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Common, but not identical. While the beasts the ancients faced were forged with magic alone, those of today are born of sentient beings.
'''Alphinaud:''' Why remains to be seen, but there is one fundamental difference between us and our predecessors: our souls are sundered, whereas theirs were not.
'''Alphinaud:''' Perhaps that single variable makes all the difference.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I may...there was another detail that troubled me.
'''G'raha Tia:''' We have it on good authority that Khalzahl's transformation took place before the skies began to burn.
'''Alisaie:''' What!? If that's true, then the situation's more dire than we realized.
'''Alisaie:''' It means even if there's no ominous sign presaging the Final Days, anyone─anywhere ─ has the potential to become a beast.
'''Alisaie:''' Even in lands we thought safe. Even as we speak...

'''Hyuran Merchant:''' Look, it's the satrap!
'''Ahewann:''' My countrymen. I am relieved and heartened to see you strong and safe.
'''Ahewann:''' While the danger has not yet passed ─ far from it ─ allow me to assure you that the beasts that raged within the city walls have been exterminated to the last.
'''Ahewann:''' Outside this sanctuary, the brave men and women of the Radiant Host and our dragon ally continue to battle our unholy foes.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray these tidings put your minds at ease, and help you calm your hearts. Have faith that we shall soon conquer this terrible trial.
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' Your Excellency...is there any word from Palaka's Stand?
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' My grandson was bound for there yesterday, and I-I worry for his life...
'''Ahewann:''' We are still awaiting a report. But I promise you, as soon as I have aught to share...
'''???:''' Y-Your Excellency! I bring grave news!
'''Ahewann:''' You are...?
'''Matsya:''' I...I'm Matsya of Akyaali. A humble fisherman.
'''Thancred:''' Ah, I remember you from our first visit.
'''Matsya:''' Hm? Wait, you're...
'''Matsya:''' B-But no, that can wait!
'''Matsya:''' When the skies turned red, I set off for Palaka's Stand, fearing for the safety of a friend.
'''Matsya:''' But as I drew near the village, I saw dreadful beasts all about.
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' No... Gods have mercy...
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' Your Excellency! Save my grandson! I beg of you!
'''Ahewann:''' We will spare no effort to save all we can. But you must remain calm─
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' Calm!? You tell me to be calm!? You saw those beasts! They tore our bravest warriors limb from limb!
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' What if we are too late? If they catch him─sink their fangs into him...
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' The fangs...the blood...the screams!

'''Y'shtola:''' Get away from her. Now!
'''Distressed Girl:''' Nooo! Nooooooooo!

'''Thancred:''' ...Damn it. We've got to kill them before it spreads!
'''Y'shtola:''' We'll handle this. See the townspeople to safety!
'''Hyuran Merchant:''' Run! As fast as you can!
''The merchant's son trips.''
'''Merchant's son:''' Aaah...aaah...no!
''The merchant's son transforms.''
'''Merchant's son:''' Faaa...grrraaaaaaghhh!
'''Ahewann steps in front of the Hyuran Merchant, but the beast grabs him. Knowing his fate is near, he turns to WOL who's running towards them.''
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra... Our people... You must save them!
'''Hyuran Merchant:''' My son...he...he... The satrap!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Enough! You must run, for their sake and your own!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Yes. You will survive. You must.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Be strong, my friends!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Fear not, for we will defeat these abominations!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Brave men and women of the Radiant Host! Lend Y'shtola and Thancred your aid! Let not a single beast escape!
'''G'raha Tia:''' The rest of you, flee this place! Carry the wounded if you must! Head indoors, or underground!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Above all, stay calm. No beasts will follow you ─ we will see to that.

'''Thancred:''' Alphinaud! Alisaie! Leave the city to us, and make for Palaka's Stand at once!
'''Thancred:''' Matsya, show my friends to the village. I promise you─they're more capable than the Host's finest.
'''Matsya:''' R-Right!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Go with them, will you?
'''G'raha Tia:''' We will save these people ─ as many as we can!
| Voiced cutscene end |

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' We meet again. You...you do remember me, yes?
'''Matsya:''' You saved my skin twice over in Yedlihmad. And now I find myself turning to you for help once more... But let us tarry here no longer!

'''Alisaie:''' Damn it all... Staying calm isn't exactly my forte...

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' We must save Palaka's Stand. Whatever it takes.
'''Alphinaud:''' Matsya. It pains me to put you into harm's way, but I would ask your aid as well.
'''Matsya:''' O-Of course! Palaka's Stand is not far, just down that hill.
'''Matsya:''' But as I told His Excellency before, the path was blocked by terrible creatures. I had no choice but to turn back.
'''Alphinaud:''' In that case, this is what we shall do...
'''Alphinaud:''' [Forename]. I ask that you take the lead and dispatch any beasts you encounter.
'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie and I will keep Matsya hidden amidst the trees, and follow when the path is clear.
'''Alphinaud:''' There is no telling what dangers await us. Keep your eyes peeled.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' Wh-What's happened to them!?

'''Alphinaud:''' Good work, [Forename], though I worry for Matsya...

===Speak with Alisaie.===
'''Alisaie:''' It...it cannot be...
'''Alisaie:''' We must heal those we can, and quickly! I see no beasts, but stay on your guard!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' When I last came here to sell my fish, everyone was so bright and cheerful. This is a nightmare..

'''Yeruvvet:''' The horror... I pray that the Sisters will see us through this calamity...

'''Alphinaud:''' There...you'll be fine. The pain will soon pass.

'''Alisaie:''' His wounds are deep, but he may yet be saved. Go and help the others!

===Save the villagers of Palaka's Stand.===
> Aid the exhausted Hyur
Though the villager's injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, he does not respond to your efforts. His breathing grows more ragged and shallow, and his vacant eyes are those of a man who has lost the will to live...
'''Exhausted Hyur:''' Even if I wake...the nightmare goes on... No...leave me to sleep...
'''Exhausted Hyur:''' ...
You call out, but the man does not respond...
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
This poor soul is beyond saving.

> Aid the collapsed Hyur
The cooling body has already begun to stiffen...
The massive wounds suggest the villager was gored by a terrible beast...
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
This villager has been dead for some time.

> Aid the motionless villager
The villager has no pulse, nor do they appear to be breathing...
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
There is nothing you can do for this villager.

> Aid the frightened Au Ra
'''Frightened Au Ra:''' Have you...have you come to...help us?
'''Frightened Au Ra:''' Too late...too late... My family...my friends... <sob>
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
'''Frightened Au Ra:''' I...I am fine, thank you... Please...save the others...

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' Are these the only villagers who survived?
'''Alphinaud:''' I can only hope others managed to flee. But if the rest have been turned to beasts... By the Twelve...
'''Alphinaud:''' Let us do what we can to see that the damage spreads no further. And no matter what comes, we must keep our spirits high...lest we ourselves suffer a similar fate.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

'''(Optional)'''
'''Kamala:''' See those crates in the corner? The lightest one among them─the one with the silks─needs to be brought to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate with the clothing needs to go to Mahnuha in the primary storehouse. The large one there? Zeymeira is waiting on that one by the middle storehouse.

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Nahbrifhal:''' The silk from the silkworms are both a wondrous tool and an incredible product in and of itself. To say it is precious cargo would be a gross understatement. Thus, we cannot be too careful when handling it.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Mahnuha:''' The doors of our storehouses were built to last, so I very much doubt even ''those'' fiends would be able to bring them down.

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Zeymeira:''' The towers now razed, it's time we plan for the road ahead. Doubtless our silks and textiles will become a cornerstone of any future economic prosperity we may see, thus must we continue to safeguard them as best we are able.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)

'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

'''(Optional)'''
'''Kamala:''' See those crates in the corner? The lightest one among them─the one with the silks─needs to be brought to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate with the clothing needs to go to Mahnuha in the primary storehouse. The large one there? Zeymeira is waiting on that one by the middle storehouse.

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Nahbrifhal:''' The silk from the silkworms are both a wondrous tool and an incredible product in and of itself. To say it is precious cargo would be a gross understatement. Thus, we cannot be too careful when handling it.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Mahnuha:''' The doors of our storehouses were built to last, so I very much doubt even ''those'' fiends would be able to bring them down.

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)

'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Nahbrifhal:''' The silk from the silkworms are both a wondrous tool and an incredible product in and of itself. To say it is precious cargo would be a gross understatement. Thus, we cannot be too careful when handling it.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...

'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Steps==
* Head to the main hall.
* Journey to [[Thavnair]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].
* Enter [[Vanaspati]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].

==Journal==
*Tataru is furrowing her brow in consternation.

*A visibly distressed Tataru informs you of grave tidings from far-off Radz–at–Han. It would appear your fellow Scions have already assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation, and you resolve to join them as soon as you are able.

*The news from Radz–at–Han is dire indeed. The heavens burn red, and unholy beasts run rampant, preying upon the people─indeed, the Final Days have come. With Krile and Tataru remaining behind to support your expedition as best they may, you prepare to depart with your companions to investigate the precise nature and extent of this calamity, and to combat it to the best of your ability.

*Thavnair is truly the stuff of nightmares. More disturbing than the rampaging beasts, however, are the words of Ahewann, satrap of Radz–at–Han, who shares with you the revelation that the monstrosities that plague the city are his own countrymen, transformed by forces unknown. The largest and most fearsome of the creatures─dubbed a “blasphemy” by the local populace─has fled north after wreaking havoc on the city. The dragon Vrtra, guardian of Thavnair, and the Radiant Host have already been dispatched in pursuit, and the satrap would have you join them.

*At the docks, Ahewann briefs you on the plan of attack. You and your fellow Scions are to circle to the north side of the island by boat, and hunt for the blasphemy deep within the sacred jungle of Vanaspati. Looking out over the waters, you steel yourself for the battle to come.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*You and your companions succeed in putting down the blasphemy, thereby eliminating the greatest threat to the people of Thavnair. There is little cause to rejoice, however, as yet more disturbing news has come to light: the ill-fated men-turned-beasts were bereft of all their aether─not only their lives, but their very souls are beyond saving. With newfound resolve to uncover the true cause of the transformations and put an end to them for good, you and your companions make to survey the area one last time before returning to Radz–at–Han.

*Though the blasphemy itself has fallen, the battle against the beastly horde rages on in the skies above. Entrusting the task of defending the island from above to the dragon Vrtra─who grudgingly allows Estinien a place upon his back─you prepare to return to Radz–at–Han with your companions. There, you will reconvene with Ahewann, that you might share the knowledge you have acquired and see how the city fares.

*Ahewann welcomes you back to the city, and reports with some relief that the lingering beasts that yet plagued the city have been dispatched. Though the immediate threat has passed, however, it is no time to rest easy, for there is no telling where and when the next transformation might occur...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! I was just about to call for you.
'''Tataru:''' I'm afraid we've received another call for assistance. This one comes from Radz-at-Han...
'''Tataru:''' The others have assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation. You must join them at once!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Tataru:''' I heard all about the Final Days from Krile, but I had no idea we'd feel the impact of it this soon...

===Head to the main hall. (Cutscene)===
'''Krile:''' Ah, there you are.
'''Krile:''' Our worst fears have come to pass. But moments ago, we received grim tidings from our contact in Radz-at-Han.
'''Krile:''' Vile beasts have appeared as if out of nowhere, claiming one victim after the next. What's more, they say the very sky burns above them...
'''Alphinaud:''' Good gods... Are the Final Days already upon us?
'''Krile:''' It would appear so. Sadly, that is all the information we have at present. No doubt the people of Radz-at-Han are busy fighting for their lives...
'''Alisaie:''' Then we must go at once! They need our help!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Agreed. Krile, you'd best remain here with Tataru and gather what knowledge you can. You are in no condition for a long journey, I imagine.
'''Krile:''' ...Very well. Similar phenomena may have been observed elsewhere, and if so, we must know about it at once.
'''Krile:''' Be safe out there, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Let us make first for Yedlihmad. We must prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' If this calamity has indeed come to Thavnair, it is all too likely that Corvos across the strait finds itself in a similar predicament.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Even now, it remains an imperial province, and as such, it may be some time until we can ascertain the situation there. We can only hope that Krile and Tataru will be able to provide us with some insight sooner rather than later.

'''Estinien:''' If the might of Vrtra is not enough to hold these fiends at bay, Radz-at-Han is in dire straits indeed. We must go at once.

'''Y'shtola:''' In ancient times, the phenomenon was first observed in places where the celestial currents had grown weakest. 'Twould seem there is a stagnancy of aether in the skies above Radz-at-Han unbeknownst even to Vrtra.

'''Krile:''' I would rather accompany you to Thavnair...but Raha's concerns are well founded. The last thing I would want is to be a burden.
'''Krile:''' And so I will remain here with Tataru, and do all I can to gather knowledge that might serve us in the battle to come. Godsspeed in your journey, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' We do not wield the creation magicks that the ancients did, yet still these abominations appear. Whatever could be the cause?

'''Alisaie:''' With the fall of the tower in Thavnair, the Hannish were beginning to enjoy a semblance of peace. And now this.

'''Thancred:''' No similar creatures have been sighted here in Sharlayan. That said, the early signs may manifest in other regions ere long. We must be prepared for every eventuality.

'''Tataru:''' I'm glad for Krile's support. I'll also call upon Hoary Boulder and the others to assist us. They will be our eyes and ears in the field, as they have been many times before.

===Journey to Thavnair (Cutscene)===
''Upon teleporting to Yedlihmad''
| Voiced cutscene |
And lo, vile beasts did rise...
Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
Sun scorches earth and boils seas...
And our sins ascend unto the heavens─
Three Dooms to unmake all we were.

'''Alisaie:''' The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
'''Ahewann:''' ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
'''Alphinaud:''' We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
'''Ahewann:''' Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
'''Ahewann:''' Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts ─ the likes of which we had never seen ─ came forth in fury and rage.
'''Ahewann:''' ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
'''Ahewann:''' The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
'''Ahewann:''' Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature ─ the largest and most dreadful of the lot ─ wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
'''Ahewann:''' Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
'''Ahewann:''' The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
'''Estinien:''' And what of Vrtra?
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
'''Ahewann:''' He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
'''Ahewann:''' You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
'''Ahewann:''' Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
'''Ahewann:''' They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
'''Ahewann:''' I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.

'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.

'''Estinien:''' Usually the most dangerous foe in a wyrm's domain is the wyrm themselves. If I were Vrtra, I would be as offended as I am horrified.

'''Y'shtola:''' I shall survey the environs closely as we go about our search. There may be some clue as to how we can combat this phenomenon.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Innocent souls twisted and reformed into unholy abominations. I thought I had seen the last of such nightmares with the sin eaters...
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must act quickly, [Forename]! Every moment we tarry means another soul may be lost to this nightmare.

'''Thancred:''' If it's true that the people themselves have transformed into beasts, why, even the Radiant Host could suffer the same fate. Or us, perish the thought...

'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry. No matter how grim things might get, I won't lose heart. I'm ready whenever you need me.

'''Alphinaud:''' So the beasts are not born of creation magicks run amok, but are rather the altered forms of the people themselves. In that sense, this manifestation of the Final Days differs from that which we witnessed in Amaurot.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...And for the worse, I daresay. If any man, woman, or child could become a beast at any moment, there is no telling whence the next threat might come. We must exercise extreme caution.

===Speak with Ahewann. (Cutscene)===
'''Ahewann:''' Everyone has assembled, yes? I thank you for lending us your aid in our battle against the blasphemy. Let us review our plan of attack.
'''Ahewann:''' I would have you board this boat and circle around to the north side of the island.
'''Ahewann:''' There you will find a dense jungle we call Vanaspati.
'''Ahewann:''' It is a sacred wood, home to many temples and a number of villages.
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra and the Radiant Host have gone there ahead of us.
'''Ahewann:''' I ask that you join them, and do all in your power to destroy this blasphemy.

'''Svarvhanu:''' Rrrrrruuu...ined. I'm...rrruuuined...
'''Y'shtola:''' As I feared...
'''Alphinaud:''' What is it?
'''Y'shtola:''' The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?
'''Y'shtola:''' I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well...
'''Y'shtola:''' There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness...
'''Alphinaud:''' Emptiness? But that would mean...
'''Y'shtola:''' Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether ─ a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence ─ that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying...
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud...
'''Y'shtola:''' Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains...
'''Alisaie:''' But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue.
'''Alisaie:''' Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?
'''Y'shtola:''' Not by any means known to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They return not even to the aetherial sea...
'''Vrtra:''' The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable...
'''Vrtra:''' Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate.
'''Vrtra:''' Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe.
'''Estinien:''' You put your secret at risk.
'''Ahewann:''' Those closest to me already know the truth ─ a truth I must now share with one and all.
'''Ahewann:''' ...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair.
'''Ahewann:''' More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!
'''Vrtra:''' What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself.
'''Vrtra:''' Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos.
'''Vrtra:''' Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone.
'''Vrtra:''' I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may.
'''Vrtra:''' I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz-at-Han will not survive.
'''Estinien:''' ...Take me with you.
'''Estinien:''' I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you.
'''Vrtra:''' Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side.
'''Thancred:''' Estinien ─ here.
'''Thancred:''' It's the last thing you ever wanted - a linkpearl.
'''Thancred:''' We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely ─ which I know you loathe.
'''Estinien:''' You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all.
'''Vrtra:''' Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall.
'''Estinien:''' Fair enough. Now ─ shall we?
'''Ahewann:''' I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again...
'''Alphinaud:''' I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come.
'''Ahewann:''' Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.

'''G'raha Tia:''' All life must end in death. Yet death, in turn, gives birth to new life─such is the flow of aether. To think that natural cycle could simply be...cut off─the very thought makes me shudder.

'''Alisaie:''' After so long, and so many sacrifices, we finally found a way to cure the tempered. But these poor souls...they vanish without a trace. Is there truly no saving them...?

'''Alphinaud:''' While Estinien and Vrtra defend Radz-at-Han from above, we on the ground must find a means to prevent these transformations...and soon.

'''Thancred:''' The stillness in the air puts me ill at ease. We must be wary.

'''Y'shtola:''' Worry not. I can see your aether, and that of our companions. We have not suffered the fate of those unfortunate souls.

===Speak with Ahewann.===
'''Ahewann:''' Our Radiant Host has eliminated the immediate threat to the city, though it pains me to know those beasts were once my own people...
'''Ahewann:''' There is no telling when or where the next transformation might occur. We must remain vigilant and steel ourselves for whatever is yet to come.

==Steps==
* Head to the main hall.
* Journey to [[Thavnair]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].
* Enter [[Vanaspati]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].

==Journal==
*Tataru is furrowing her brow in consternation.

*A visibly distressed Tataru informs you of grave tidings from far-off Radz–at–Han. It would appear your fellow Scions have already assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation, and you resolve to join them as soon as you are able.

*The news from Radz–at–Han is dire indeed. The heavens burn red, and unholy beasts run rampant, preying upon the people─indeed, the Final Days have come. With Krile and Tataru remaining behind to support your expedition as best they may, you prepare to depart with your companions to investigate the precise nature and extent of this calamity, and to combat it to the best of your ability.

*Thavnair is truly the stuff of nightmares. More disturbing than the rampaging beasts, however, are the words of Ahewann, satrap of Radz–at–Han, who shares with you the revelation that the monstrosities that plague the city are his own countrymen, transformed by forces unknown. The largest and most fearsome of the creatures─dubbed a “blasphemy” by the local populace─has fled north after wreaking havoc on the city. The dragon Vrtra, guardian of Thavnair, and the Radiant Host have already been dispatched in pursuit, and the satrap would have you join them.

*At the docks, Ahewann briefs you on the plan of attack. You and your fellow Scions are to circle to the north side of the island by boat, and hunt for the blasphemy deep within the sacred jungle of Vanaspati. Looking out over the waters, you steel yourself for the battle to come.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*You and your companions succeed in putting down the blasphemy, thereby eliminating the greatest threat to the people of Thavnair. There is little cause to rejoice, however, as yet more disturbing news has come to light: the ill-fated men-turned-beasts were bereft of all their aether─not only their lives, but their very souls are beyond saving. With newfound resolve to uncover the true cause of the transformations and put an end to them for good, you and your companions make to survey the area one last time before returning to Radz–at–Han.

*Though the blasphemy itself has fallen, the battle against the beastly horde rages on in the skies above. Entrusting the task of defending the island from above to the dragon Vrtra─who grudgingly allows Estinien a place upon his back─you prepare to return to Radz–at–Han with your companions. There, you will reconvene with Ahewann, that you might share the knowledge you have acquired and see how the city fares.

*Ahewann welcomes you back to the city, and reports with some relief that the lingering beasts that yet plagued the city have been dispatched. Though the immediate threat has passed, however, it is no time to rest easy, for there is no telling where and when the next transformation might occur...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! I was just about to call for you.
'''Tataru:''' I'm afraid we've received another call for assistance. This one comes from Radz-at-Han...
'''Tataru:''' The others have assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation. You must join them at once!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Tataru:''' I heard all about the Final Days from Krile, but I had no idea we'd feel the impact of it this soon...

===Head to the main hall. (Cutscene)===
'''Krile:''' Ah, there you are.
'''Krile:''' Our worst fears have come to pass. But moments ago, we received grim tidings from our contact in Radz-at-Han.
'''Krile:''' Vile beasts have appeared as if out of nowhere, claiming one victim after the next. What's more, they say the very sky burns above them...
'''Alphinaud:''' Good gods... Are the Final Days already upon us?
'''Krile:''' It would appear so. Sadly, that is all the information we have at present. No doubt the people of Radz-at-Han are busy fighting for their lives...
'''Alisaie:''' Then we must go at once! They need our help!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Agreed. Krile, you'd best remain here with Tataru and gather what knowledge you can. You are in no condition for a long journey, I imagine.
'''Krile:''' ...Very well. Similar phenomena may have been observed elsewhere, and if so, we must know about it at once.
'''Krile:''' Be safe out there, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Let us make first for Yedlihmad. We must prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' If this calamity has indeed come to Thavnair, it is all too likely that Corvos across the strait finds itself in a similar predicament.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Even now, it remains an imperial province, and as such, it may be some time until we can ascertain the situation there. We can only hope that Krile and Tataru will be able to provide us with some insight sooner rather than later.

'''Estinien:''' If the might of Vrtra is not enough to hold these fiends at bay, Radz-at-Han is in dire straits indeed. We must go at once.

'''Y'shtola:''' In ancient times, the phenomenon was first observed in places where the celestial currents had grown weakest. 'Twould seem there is a stagnancy of aether in the skies above Radz-at-Han unbeknownst even to Vrtra.

'''Krile:''' I would rather accompany you to Thavnair...but Raha's concerns are well founded. The last thing I would want is to be a burden.
'''Krile:''' And so I will remain here with Tataru, and do all I can to gather knowledge that might serve us in the battle to come. Godsspeed in your journey, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' We do not wield the creation magicks that the ancients did, yet still these abominations appear. Whatever could be the cause?

'''Alisaie:''' With the fall of the tower in Thavnair, the Hannish were beginning to enjoy a semblance of peace. And now this.

'''Thancred:''' No similar creatures have been sighted here in Sharlayan. That said, the early signs may manifest in other regions ere long. We must be prepared for every eventuality.

'''Tataru:''' I'm glad for Krile's support. I'll also call upon Hoary Boulder and the others to assist us. They will be our eyes and ears in the field, as they have been many times before.

===Journey to Thavnair (Cutscene)===
''Upon teleporting to Yedlihmad''
| Voiced cutscene |
And lo, vile beasts did rise...
Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
Sun scorches earth and boils seas...
And our sins ascend unto the heavens─
Three Dooms to unmake all we were.

'''Alisaie:''' The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
'''Ahewann:''' ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
'''Alphinaud:''' We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
'''Ahewann:''' Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
'''Ahewann:''' Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts ─ the likes of which we had never seen ─ came forth in fury and rage.
'''Ahewann:''' ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
'''Ahewann:''' The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
'''Ahewann:''' Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature ─ the largest and most dreadful of the lot ─ wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
'''Ahewann:''' Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
'''Ahewann:''' The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
'''Estinien:''' And what of Vrtra?
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
'''Ahewann:''' He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
'''Ahewann:''' You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
'''Ahewann:''' Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
'''Ahewann:''' They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
'''Ahewann:''' I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.

'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.

'''Ahewann:''' It is a sacred wood, home to many temples and a number of villages.
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra and the Radiant Host have gone there ahead of us.
'''Ahewann:''' I ask that you join them, and do all in your power to destroy this blasphemy.

==Steps==
* Head to the main hall.
* Journey to [[Thavnair]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].
* Enter [[Vanaspati]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].

==Journal==
*Tataru is furrowing her brow in consternation.

*A visibly distressed Tataru informs you of grave tidings from far-off Radz–at–Han. It would appear your fellow Scions have already assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation, and you resolve to join them as soon as you are able.

*The news from Radz–at–Han is dire indeed. The heavens burn red, and unholy beasts run rampant, preying upon the people─indeed, the Final Days have come. With Krile and Tataru remaining behind to support your expedition as best they may, you prepare to depart with your companions to investigate the precise nature and extent of this calamity, and to combat it to the best of your ability.

*Thavnair is truly the stuff of nightmares. More disturbing than the rampaging beasts, however, are the words of Ahewann, satrap of Radz–at–Han, who shares with you the revelation that the monstrosities that plague the city are his own countrymen, transformed by forces unknown. The largest and most fearsome of the creatures─dubbed a “blasphemy” by the local populace─has fled north after wreaking havoc on the city. The dragon Vrtra, guardian of Thavnair, and the Radiant Host have already been dispatched in pursuit, and the satrap would have you join them.

*At the docks, Ahewann briefs you on the plan of attack. You and your fellow Scions are to circle to the north side of the island by boat, and hunt for the blasphemy deep within the sacred jungle of Vanaspati. Looking out over the waters, you steel yourself for the battle to come.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*You and your companions succeed in putting down the blasphemy, thereby eliminating the greatest threat to the people of Thavnair. There is little cause to rejoice, however, as yet more disturbing news has come to light: the ill-fated men-turned-beasts were bereft of all their aether─not only their lives, but their very souls are beyond saving. With newfound resolve to uncover the true cause of the transformations and put an end to them for good, you and your companions make to survey the area one last time before returning to Radz–at–Han.

*Though the blasphemy itself has fallen, the battle against the beastly horde rages on in the skies above. Entrusting the task of defending the island from above to the dragon Vrtra─who grudgingly allows Estinien a place upon his back─you prepare to return to Radz–at–Han with your companions. There, you will reconvene with Ahewann, that you might share the knowledge you have acquired and see how the city fares.

*Ahewann welcomes you back to the city, and reports with some relief that the lingering beasts that yet plagued the city have been dispatched. Though the immediate threat has passed, however, it is no time to rest easy, for there is no telling where and when the next transformation might occur...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! I was just about to call for you.
'''Tataru:''' I'm afraid we've received another call for assistance. This one comes from Radz-at-Han...
'''Tataru:''' The others have assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation. You must join them at once!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Tataru:''' I heard all about the Final Days from Krile, but I had no idea we'd feel the impact of it this soon...

===Head to the main hall. (Cutscene)===
'''Krile:''' Ah, there you are.
'''Krile:''' Our worst fears have come to pass. But moments ago, we received grim tidings from our contact in Radz-at-Han.
'''Krile:''' Vile beasts have appeared as if out of nowhere, claiming one victim after the next. What's more, they say the very sky burns above them...
'''Alphinaud:''' Good gods... Are the Final Days already upon us?
'''Krile:''' It would appear so. Sadly, that is all the information we have at present. No doubt the people of Radz-at-Han are busy fighting for their lives...
'''Alisaie:''' Then we must go at once! They need our help!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Agreed. Krile, you'd best remain here with Tataru and gather what knowledge you can. You are in no condition for a long journey, I imagine.
'''Krile:''' ...Very well. Similar phenomena may have been observed elsewhere, and if so, we must know about it at once.
'''Krile:''' Be safe out there, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Let us make first for Yedlihmad. We must prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' If this calamity has indeed come to Thavnair, it is all too likely that Corvos across the strait finds itself in a similar predicament.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Even now, it remains an imperial province, and as such, it may be some time until we can ascertain the situation there. We can only hope that Krile and Tataru will be able to provide us with some insight sooner rather than later.

'''Estinien:''' If the might of Vrtra is not enough to hold these fiends at bay, Radz-at-Han is in dire straits indeed. We must go at once.

'''Y'shtola:''' In ancient times, the phenomenon was first observed in places where the celestial currents had grown weakest. 'Twould seem there is a stagnancy of aether in the skies above Radz-at-Han unbeknownst even to Vrtra.

'''Krile:''' I would rather accompany you to Thavnair...but Raha's concerns are well founded. The last thing I would want is to be a burden.
'''Krile:''' And so I will remain here with Tataru, and do all I can to gather knowledge that might serve us in the battle to come. Godsspeed in your journey, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' We do not wield the creation magicks that the ancients did, yet still these abominations appear. Whatever could be the cause?

'''Alisaie:''' With the fall of the tower in Thavnair, the Hannish were beginning to enjoy a semblance of peace. And now this.

'''Thancred:''' No similar creatures have been sighted here in Sharlayan. That said, the early signs may manifest in other regions ere long. We must be prepared for every eventuality.

'''Tataru:''' I'm glad for Krile's support. I'll also call upon Hoary Boulder and the others to assist us. They will be our eyes and ears in the field, as they have been many times before.

===Journey to Thavnair (Cutscene)===
''Upon teleporting to Yedlihmad''
| Voiced cutscene |
And lo, vile beasts did rise...
Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
Sun scorches earth and boils seas...
And our sins ascend unto the heavens─
Three Dooms to unmake all we were.

'''Alisaie:''' The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
'''Ahewann:''' ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
'''Alphinaud:''' We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
'''Ahewann:''' Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
'''Ahewann:''' Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts ─ the likes of which we had never seen ─ came forth in fury and rage.
'''Ahewann:''' ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
'''Ahewann:''' The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
'''Ahewann:''' Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature ─ the largest and most dreadful of the lot ─ wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
'''Ahewann:''' Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
'''Ahewann:''' The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
'''Estinien:''' And what of Vrtra?
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
'''Ahewann:''' He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
'''Ahewann:''' You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
'''Ahewann:''' Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
'''Ahewann:''' They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
'''Ahewann:''' I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.

'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.
| Voiced cutscene end |

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.

'''Estinien:''' Usually the most dangerous foe in a wyrm's domain is the wyrm themselves. If I were Vrtra, I would be as offended as I am horrified.

'''Y'shtola:''' I shall survey the environs closely as we go about our search. There may be some clue as to how we can combat this phenomenon.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Innocent souls twisted and reformed into unholy abominations. I thought I had seen the last of such nightmares with the sin eaters...
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must act quickly, [Forename]! Every moment we tarry means another soul may be lost to this nightmare.

'''Thancred:''' If it's true that the people themselves have transformed into beasts, why, even the Radiant Host could suffer the same fate. Or us, perish the thought...

'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry. No matter how grim things might get, I won't lose heart. I'm ready whenever you need me.

'''Alphinaud:''' So the beasts are not born of creation magicks run amok, but are rather the altered forms of the people themselves. In that sense, this manifestation of the Final Days differs from that which we witnessed in Amaurot.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...And for the worse, I daresay. If any man, woman, or child could become a beast at any moment, there is no telling whence the next threat might come. We must exercise extreme caution.

===Speak with Ahewann. (Cutscene)===
'''Ahewann:''' Everyone has assembled, yes? I thank you for lending us your aid in our battle against the blasphemy. Let us review our plan of attack.
'''Ahewann:''' I would have you board this boat and circle around to the north side of the island.
'''Ahewann:''' There you will find a dense jungle we call Vanaspati.
'''Ahewann:''' It is a sacred wood, home to many temples and a number of villages.
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra and the Radiant Host have gone there ahead of us.
'''Ahewann:''' I ask that you join them, and do all in your power to destroy this blasphemy.

'''Ahewann:''' Once we meet with Vrtra and the Radiant Host, they should be able to tell us more of the present situation.

'''Y'shtola:''' As I feared...
'''Alphinaud:''' What is it?
'''Y'shtola:''' The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?
'''Y'shtola:''' I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well...
'''Y'shtola:''' There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness...
'''Alphinaud:''' Emptiness? But that would mean...
'''Y'shtola:''' Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether ─ a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence ─ that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying...
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud...
'''Y'shtola:''' Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains...
'''Alisaie:''' But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue.
'''Alisaie:''' Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?
'''Y'shtola:''' Not by any means known to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They return not even to the aetherial sea...
'''Vrtra:''' The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable...
'''Vrtra:''' Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate.
'''Vrtra:''' Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe.
'''Estinien:''' You put your secret at risk.
'''Ahewann:''' Those closest to me already know the truth ─ a truth I must now share with one and all.
'''Ahewann:''' ...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair.
'''Ahewann:''' More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!
'''Vrtra:''' What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself.
'''Vrtra:''' Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos.
'''Vrtra:''' Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone.
'''Vrtra:''' I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may.
'''Vrtra:''' I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz-at-Han will not survive.
'''Estinien:''' ...Take me with you.
'''Estinien:''' I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you.
'''Vrtra:''' Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side.
'''Thancred:''' Estinien ─ here.
'''Thancred:''' It's the last thing you ever wanted - a linkpearl.
'''Thancred:''' We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely ─ which I know you loathe.
'''Estinien:''' You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all.
'''Vrtra:''' Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall.
'''Estinien:''' Fair enough. Now ─ shall we?
'''Ahewann:''' I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again...
'''Alphinaud:''' I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come.
'''Ahewann:''' Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.

===Speak with Ahewann.===
'''Ahewann:''' Our Radiant Host has eliminated the immediate threat to the city, though it pains me to know those beasts were once my own people...

==Steps==
* Head to the main hall.
* Journey to [[Thavnair]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].
* Enter [[Vanaspati]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].

==Journal==
*Tataru is furrowing her brow in consternation.

*A visibly distressed Tataru informs you of grave tidings from far-off Radz–at–Han. It would appear your fellow Scions have already assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation, and you resolve to join them as soon as you are able.

*The news from Radz–at–Han is dire indeed. The heavens burn red, and unholy beasts run rampant, preying upon the people─indeed, the Final Days have come. With Krile and Tataru remaining behind to support your expedition as best they may, you prepare to depart with your companions to investigate the precise nature and extent of this calamity, and to combat it to the best of your ability.

*Thavnair is truly the stuff of nightmares. More disturbing than the rampaging beasts, however, are the words of Ahewann, satrap of Radz–at–Han, who shares with you the revelation that the monstrosities that plague the city are his own countrymen, transformed by forces unknown. The largest and most fearsome of the creatures─dubbed a “blasphemy” by the local populace─has fled north after wreaking havoc on the city. The dragon Vrtra, guardian of Thavnair, and the Radiant Host have already been dispatched in pursuit, and the satrap would have you join them.

*At the docks, Ahewann briefs you on the plan of attack. You and your fellow Scions are to circle to the north side of the island by boat, and hunt for the blasphemy deep within the sacred jungle of Vanaspati. Looking out over the waters, you steel yourself for the battle to come.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*You and your companions succeed in putting down the blasphemy, thereby eliminating the greatest threat to the people of Thavnair. There is little cause to rejoice, however, as yet more disturbing news has come to light: the ill-fated men-turned-beasts were bereft of all their aether─not only their lives, but their very souls are beyond saving. With newfound resolve to uncover the true cause of the transformations and put an end to them for good, you and your companions make to survey the area one last time before returning to Radz–at–Han.

*Though the blasphemy itself has fallen, the battle against the beastly horde rages on in the skies above. Entrusting the task of defending the island from above to the dragon Vrtra─who grudgingly allows Estinien a place upon his back─you prepare to return to Radz–at–Han with your companions. There, you will reconvene with Ahewann, that you might share the knowledge you have acquired and see how the city fares.

*Ahewann welcomes you back to the city, and reports with some relief that the lingering beasts that yet plagued the city have been dispatched. Though the immediate threat has passed, however, it is no time to rest easy, for there is no telling where and when the next transformation might occur...

'''Ahewann:''' Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.
| Voiced cutscene end |

===Speak with Ahewann.===
'''Ahewann:''' Our Radiant Host has eliminated the immediate threat to the city, though it pains me to know those beasts were once my own people...
'''Ahewann:''' There is no telling when or where the next transformation might occur. We must remain vigilant and steel ourselves for whatever is yet to come.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' I need not remind you of the dangers we face, nor the countless lives at stake both in the Source and its reflections. Go with courage, my friend, and pray give the others my regards.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Y'shtola:''' With the Loporrits in Urianger's capable hands, we needn't worry about affairs here in our absence.
'''Y'shtola:''' Knowing now the face of their “earthly collaborators,” there is much to discuss with Alphinaud and the others.
'''Y'shtola:''' Let us return to the Tower of Babil. Our battle for the star will soon begin in earnest, and we must be prepared.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' I'd forgotten how cold it was here in Garlemald. A testament to the Loporrits' ingenuity that I felt no such discomfort on the moon.

===Speak with Thancred at the Nethergate.===
'''Thancred:''' Gods, I can scarcely believe we went to the moon and back...
'''Thancred:''' But we'll have time to reflect on that later. Right now, we need to head back to Camp Broken Glass and deliver a thoroughly detailed report to Lucia.
'''Thancred:''' I'd like very much to know how everyone is getting on here as well. They'd only just begun to treat the tempered prisoners when we left.
'''Y'shtola:''' I share your curiosity, but warning our allies of the Final Days is of greater importance.
'''Y'shtola:''' I speak not only of the contingent, of course. The heads of state of every nation must know what we have learned.
'''Y'shtola:''' We know not when or where or in what manner the Final Days will begin to manifest, and so we must see that everyone is prepared.
'''Thancred:''' Agreed, though we may wish to stress the importance of discretion, lest the public be sent into a panic. Not that anyone in a position of responsibility should need to be told as much, but it bears repeating.
'''Thancred:''' Anyway, first things first. To Camp Broken Glass.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Maxima:''' [Forename]? At last, you are returned!

===Speak with Lucia at Camp Broken Glass. (Cutscene)===
'''Lucia:''' It's good to see you all again. No worse for your lunar adventure, I hope.
'''Thancred:''' We've done what we can for now, and believe me, we intend to tell you all about it.
'''Thancred:''' But before we do, might you tell us what's become of Garlemald in our absence?
'''Lucia:''' We succeeded in subduing the tempered inside the Tower of Babil. We took many alive, but combined with those who were already in our custody, the number requiring care has grown exponentially.
'''Lucia:''' The inclement conditions here have made it difficult ─ if not impossible ─ to treat them all here, and so we have petitioned the aid of the allied nations.
'''Lucia:''' Some are, understandably, hesitant to proffer assistance, particularly those that were but recently subject to imperial occupation. That said, several others have agreed to grant them refuge for treatment.
'''Lucia:''' With the assistance of your fellow Scions, we endeavor to see them safely transported and subsequently cured of their tempering.
'''Y'shtola:''' Will all the tempered be relocated?
'''Lucia:''' Not all, no. We have sufficient shelter to attend to those whose treatment has begun, and enough healers have volunteered to remain until their patients have recovered.
'''Lucia:''' Jullus is one such patient, though he is not yet fit to receive visitors.
'''Lucia:''' Truth be told, it was a miracle he and those in his company were not harmed in the chaos. If not for Alphinaud and Alisaie's timely assistance, I daresay none of them would be with us today.
'''Thancred:''' In light of recent developments, have the Alliance leaders come to any decisions regarding Garlemald?
'''Lucia:''' Given the tremendous ramifications of what has happened here, it will take time to determine what must be done. In the meantime, they intend to work with the Eastern alliance to keep a close watch over the provinces.
'''Lucia:''' We have other news to share: shortly after Anima was defeated, we received reports that each and every tower has vanished.
'''Lucia:''' For a mercy, the process was apparently not quite as violent as that you experienced in Thavnair. Those who were trapped within them have been rescued and are receiving treatment. To hasten this endeavor, the beast tribes have received instruction in the magicks needed to cure tempering.
'''Y'shtola:''' Master Matoya is no doubt thrilled the mother porxie affords her so many visitors.
'''Lucia:''' Yes, we are grateful for her ongoing efforts, as well of those of our comrades near and far.
'''Lucia:''' As for the contingent, several of our members have been granted leave to return to their homelands after the transfer of tempered has been completed.
'''Maxima:''' Lucia and I will remain, along with a small force to continue offering aid to those here in Garlemald.
'''Maxima:''' The Empire may be no more, but there are yet those who call these lands home.
'''Lucia:''' I believe that accounts for recent events here. So ─ what of the moon and the Telophoroi?

'''Lucia:''' The Final Days... Gods, I prayed your victory would mark the end of our troubles.
'''Y'shtola:''' There is still much we do not know, but the Alliance leaders must be told. Would you be willing to contact them in our stead?
'''Lucia:''' Yes, of course. I will send word forthwith.
'''Lucia:''' We'll also release your fellow Scions from their present duties, that they may return to Sharlayan.
'''Lucia:''' Your energies are better spent finding a means to avert the coming apocalypse.
'''Maxima:''' Speaking of your fellow Scions, you will be happy to hear that Mistress Krile, though still on the mend, has been moved to the Baldesion Annex and given into Tataru's care.
'''Y'shtola:''' Thank you. I look forward to seeing them both upon our return.
'''Thancred:''' Let us be on our way, then.
'''Maxima:''' One last thing, if I may.
'''Maxima:''' After your confrontation with Zodiark, you said Zenos took his leave, and in all likelihood he has returned here to Garlemald.
'''Maxima:''' I have a mind to dispatch scouts to try and ascertain his whereabouts, but first wished to ask if you believe there is merit in doing so.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> If they found him, they would not likely live to tell the tale.
'''Maxima:''' <sigh> I suppose you're right...
'''Maxima:''' To dispatch good soldiers in pursuit of such a beast...would be to send them to their deaths.
> If you're expecting a trail of destruction to follow, you won't find one.
'''Maxima:''' Aye. You are the only foe he considers worthy.
'''Maxima:''' And even if my men found him, who but you could even hope to bring low that monster?
'''Maxima:''' Pray forget I entertained the notion.
> An admirable but futile endeavor.
'''Maxima:''' Mayhap you're right...
'''Maxima:''' And I suppose if anyone is to hunt him down, it must be you. Who else could even hope to bring low that monster?

'''Maxima:''' Pray forget I entertained the notion.
'''Maxima:''' While on the subject of Zenos, the Xth Legion has made an official proclamation.
'''Maxima:''' They denounce the crown prince and condemn his role in the Empire's downfall.
'''Maxima:''' His very title has become a source of shame among his former subjects, and its continued use serves only to hinder relations with foreign nations.
'''Maxima:''' For this reason, he has been declared as Zenos ''viator'' Galvus, outcast and enemy of Garlemald.
'''Y'shtola:''' Fandaniel is no more, and now his own people turn against him. It seems he's naught but his bloodlust to keep him company.
'''Maxima:''' Better that than an army to see it sated. At any rate, I will not keep you longer. I pray you safe passage back to Sharlayan.

''Optional dialouge''
'''Maxima:''' Once my countrymen have recovered, it falls to me to tell them what's become of Zenos and the Empire.
'''Maxima:''' I realize there is no kindness in withholding the truth, but...it will wound them.

'''Lucia:''' Your findings will be relayed to the Alliance leaders word for word. And should we spy anything out of the ordinary here in Garlemald, all shall be informed at once.

===Speak with Krile at the Baldesion Annex.===
'''Krile:''' Welcome back, [Forename]. We were so terribly worried about you.
'''Krile:''' Though it is plain I have caused my own fair share of worry, and for that, I apologize.
'''Krile:''' Hydaelyn called to me that day when you entered the Tower of Babil. Her pleas were faint but desperate, and I knew at once She required a vessel to carry out Her will.
'''Krile:''' What came after feels like a dream barely remembered. My body flowing through the Lifestream toward Garlemald...
'''Krile:''' When I regained consciousness, I was all aches and frostbite, exhausted of aether. So exhausted, in fact, I could only laugh, for it was in that moment I understood Raha's weariness from the Tower of Zot.
'''Krile:''' Would that I could laugh at a time like this. Though we prevented Zodiark from being unleashed upon the world, I am curious to know what else took place there on the moon...
'''Krile:''' Ah, perhaps we should wait for the others to join us before you give your account.
'''Krile:''' Let us reconvene in the main hall once they've arrived.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Tataru:''' Oh, it's so good to see you! And free from chilblains, I take it?
'''Tataru:''' You'll be pleased to know everything's been kept in order since you've been away. I even brought a few useful knickknacks with me from back home.
'''Tataru:''' But no sooner had they arrived than I received word of Krile in poor health, and you on the ''moon''! If you meant to give me a fright, you succeeded.

'''Krile:''' For a blessing, I've recovered enough to get out of bed. Even if I hadn't, I could not well miss you recount your exploits on the moon.

===Wait at the designated location. (Cutscene)===
'''Alisaie:''' Sorry to have kept you all waiting.
'''Y'shtola:''' Not at all. We understand you've been quite busy.
'''Krile:''' Will Urianger be joining us?
'''Thancred:''' Duty keeps him away, I'm afraid, though [Forename] can explain why better than I.
'''Alphinaud:''' The Final Days...as befell Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And we are to escape via the moon? What of the Source and its reflections?
'''Estinien:''' I've no intention of standing by while the world falls to ruin.
'''Estinien:''' So, how do we stop this?
'''Y'shtola:''' Unfortunately, we have no answers at present.
'''Y'shtola:''' If the celestial currents have grown stagnant, as was the case in the time of Amaurot, the solution would be to alter the flow of aether throughout the entirety of the star.
'''Y'shtola:''' The ancients accomplished this by summoning Zodiark, sacrificing half the star's population in the doing. But it should go without saying that such a sacrifice must not ─ cannot ─ be repeated.
'''Y'shtola:''' Which leaves us with the daunting task of identifying the underlying catalyst for the Final Days, a feat which even the Amaurotines could not accomplish.
'''Y'shtola:''' Unfortunately, we found no clues in Mare Lamentorum.
'''Alphinaud:''' There is still much we do not know about the catastrophe itself, let alone what may have caused it.
'''Alphinaud:''' The Final Days were marked by the corruption of the Amaurotines' creation magicks, but we command no such power. Which invites the question: what havoc is in store for us?
'''Alphinaud:''' If we knew that much, perhaps we could draw some parallel with the events of the past, and thereby form some semblance of a plan.
'''Y'shtola:''' Perhaps we should start with the Forum, then. Having worked with the Loporrits in secret all this time, there is surely more they can tell us.
'''Tataru:''' Forgive the interruption, but I've urgent news!
'''Tataru:''' The Forum is holding a public assembly in the plaza outside. Some sort of announcement!
'''Alisaie:''' What is Father up to now?
'''Krile:''' There's only one way to find out.

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Barnier:''' Order! Order, I say!
'''Barnier:''' I thank you all for gathering here on such short notice.
'''Barnier:''' This day we must speak of grave affairs and their implications for the future of Sharlayan ─ nay, of this very star.
'''Barnier:''' Said affairs concern all citizens, and so we have called for a public assembly.
'''Barnier:''' You may have heard rumors of the Telophoroi, and the havoc these madmen wreak abroad.
'''Barnier:''' Under normal circumstances, we would pay little heed to petty disturbances outside our borders. The “Final Days,” however, are another matter altogether...
'''Barnier:''' ...For we dare not ignore these prophetic words of eld:
'''Barnier:''' “The end-bearers will come, ushering chaos and calamity. The Final Days descend and devour the very star...”
'''Elezen Man:''' I've never heard this prophecy.
'''Hyuran Woman:''' Is it true? Will all that really happen?
'''Barnier:''' Calm yourselves. The time is come to speak of the Forum's most sacred duties. But first...
'''Outspoken Councilor:''' Give voice to the voiceless. Let bindings be unbound. By unanimous decree, I declare the enchantment broken!
'''Barnier:''' Master Leveilleur, if you would.
'''Fourchenault:''' Very well...
'''Fourchenault:''' Two hundred and seventy years ago, our forebears began an expedition in the Dravanian hinterlands, in search of a route to access the aetherial sea.
'''Fourchenault:''' This much is public knowledge. Their findings, however, would become the Forum's most closely guarded secret.
'''Fourchenault:''' What those researchers discovered in the hinterlands was not a passage unto the aetherial sea, but the very heart of our star ─ and Hydaelyn Herself.
'''Fourchenault:''' She spoke to them of a calamity that would extinguish all life, and of a means by which we might be spared.
'''Fourchenault:''' The moon. 'Tis in truth a gargantuan vessel built to serve as sanctuary for Her children and deliver them from this doom.
'''Fourchenault:''' Much like ''Nyunkrepf's Hope'' in ages past, it will bear the people of a world in the throes of death to a new home.
'''Barnier:''' Needless to say, this would be no small undertaking. To facilitate the great work, the Forum has maintained close contact with the servants of Hydaelyn who presently reside on the moon.
'''Barnier:''' Convinced that the foretold end was all but inevitable, we began amassing a wealth of knowledge. Not merely for the betterment of our nation, but in preparation for the journey to come.
'''Elezen Man:''' You reveal this to us now? By the gods, how long do we have!?
'''Barnier:''' While we cannot say with certainty, we believe the hour to be nigh. We received a transmission from the moon suggesting as much not long ago.
'''Barnier:''' Which is why we must in earnest begin preparations for the great exodus.
'''Barnier:''' For his impressive contributions and the leadership he demonstrated during our withdrawal from Dravania, we have elected Master Leveilleur to oversee this initiative.
'''Fourchenault:''' Fellow scribes and scholars. My countrymen. We face a threat of unprecedented scale.
'''Fourchenault:''' We must challenge the trials before us with composure and conviction if we are to find salvation.
'''Fourchenault:''' The wisdom of Sharlayan has ever been a shining beacon in the darkness, and so it shall continue to be.
'''Fourchenault:''' It is our solemn charge to see our heritage preserved for future generations. For those who will come after, we will brave a new frontier.
'''Barnier:''' Administrative edicts will be relayed to all major institutions ere long. In the meantime, carry on with your duties. With that, I hereby call this assembly to a close.

'''Alisaie:''' Do you remember what Mother told us when we visited home?
'''Alisaie:''' That it wasn't until after we were born that Father seemed to lose himself in his work.
'''Alisaie:''' If that ''great work'' of his was the evacuation of this star, then...
'''Alphinaud:''' Yes... It wasn't for his benefit...
'''Alphinaud:''' Would you mind waiting here a moment? I wish to speak with Father before we leave.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Take your time.
'''Alphinaud:''' Thank you. I shan't be long.
> Keep it civil, eh?
'''Alphinaud:''' I may look daggers at him, but I will neither speak nor draw them.

'''Alisaie:''' If it's all the same to you, I have a few choice words to share with Father as well.
'''Fourchenault:''' So. Come to call us cowards and bid us join your fruitless battle against the inevitable?
'''Alphinaud:''' Nay, we do not object to the Forum's proposal. On the contrary, those who wish to flee have every right to do so.
'''Alphinaud:''' Urianger is cooperating with your associates on the moon to ensure that all is ready should evacuation be our only recourse.
'''Fourchenault:''' Then whatever your business, I suggest you be brief.
'''Alphinaud:''' Though we cannot boast the boundless wisdom of Sharlayan, we have firsthand knowledge of foreign cultures, and have conversed with no small number of peoples.
'''Alphinaud:''' These experiences have taught us fundamental truths that cannot be recorded in any tome, nor charted on any map.
'''Alphinaud:''' The beating heart of this planet is its people, many of whom would give anything ─ even their lives ─ to protect the lands they love.
'''Alphinaud:''' Many may choose to join you in the end. But what of those unwilling or unable, for whom escape will never be an option? What would you have them do?
'''Alphinaud:''' To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom, Father. It is indolence.
'''Alphinaud:''' This is why we choose to fight.
'''Alisaie:''' We'll not ask for your understanding, Father. Only that you don't turn a blind eye to the good we have done. That we can still do.
'''Alisaie:''' We're not children in need of protection. Hold fast to your principles and let the world burn, if it please, but we believe there is still another way.
'''Alisaie:''' And if there is, we will find it. You see if we don't.
'''Fourchenault:''' Do as you will. Just stay out of our way.
'''Y'shtola:''' Were he not so consumed with self-righteousness, he might tell you how proud he is of you both.
'''Estinien:''' Bold words call for bold action. And there'll be no turning to your father should plans go awry.
'''Alisaie:''' As if I ever would. So long as there are those who wish to stay and fight for this star, we have to do what we can to help them.
'''Thancred:''' And if we're to do that, we'll need to be well rested.
'''Thancred:''' Wouldn't you agree? Having triumphed over what we once thought to be the source of all evil, I can think of no one in greater need of at least a dozen winks.
'''Alphinaud:''' Shall we, then? To the annex, to prepare for tomorrow!
| Voiced cutscene end |

===Speak with Ojika Tsunjika.===
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Krile tells me the Forum made a rather momentous announcement. So there's to be a great exodus, is there?
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' I'm reminded of my narrow escape from the Isle of Val. The realization, the running, the mixture of relief and regret after. “Why me?” I asked myself. “Why me?”
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Why us? Why now? Why wonder ─ there's no use fretting over the cosmic morality or lack thereof. We're here, and we'll get through this together. And who knows, maybe my luck will rub off and grant everyone a narrow escape. There's no harm in praying for as much.
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Oh, but enough of my rambling ─ I'm sure you're exhausted. Your chamber awaits!

A visitor has come knocking at your door. Whoever could it be?
'''''What will you say?'''''
| Voiced cutscenes |

'''> Alphinaud?'''
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, I hope I didn't wake you.
'''Alphinaud:''' I pray you will forgive the unannounced visit, but I wished to speak with you before retiring for the night...
'''Alphinaud:''' ...About Garlemald, and the time we spent with the people of Tertium.
'''Alphinaud:''' Dangerous though it was, I'm glad we had the opportunity to treat with Jullus and Quintus.
'''Alphinaud:''' I was worried what might happen after we were collared. If they attempted to restrain you too. If they succeeded...
'''Alphinaud:''' Once more I put you in harm's way. And for that I must apologize...
'''Alphinaud:''' Or rather... I should thank you. For trusting in me, time and time again.
'''Alphinaud:''' After all our journeys together, I daresay I've used every expression imaginable to convey to you my gratitude. Nevertheless, I hope these words of mine still carry some small weight.
'''Alphinaud:''' Tomorrow, our fight continues. Mayhap it would have been better to seek you out after we have true cause for celebration.
'''Alphinaud:''' But having mustered the courage to stand up to Father and achieve a personal victory of sorts, I wanted to carry on in that spirit before my nerves got the better of me.
'''Alphinaud:''' The hour grows late, and you doubtless tire of my ramblings.
'''Alphinaud:''' I have a letter for Arenvald to finish, but will be off to bed shortly. Sleep well.

'''> Alisaie?'''
'''Alisaie:''' Craving a midnight snack, were you? I did consider bringing a few sweets, but decided this wasn't an appropriate occasion.
'''Alisaie:''' I couldn't sleep. Had a few things on my mind. I know it's late, so I'll try not to talk your ear off.
'''Alisaie:''' It's Zenos. I keep thinking back to Garlemald, when he'd taken control of your body.
'''Alisaie:''' An altogether terrifying experience, to say the least. And one that served as a harsh reminder.
'''Alisaie:''' No one - no matter how strong or quick or clever - is invincible. Not even you.
'''Alisaie:''' And as much as it might seem at times that you are... one misstep. One mistake... and that's that.
'''Alisaie:''' Which is why, even though I know you've heard it a thousand times before, I'm going to tell you to take better care of yourself. Because you really, really should.
'''Alisaie:''' It goes without saying that we're all committed to this fight, but that doesn't mean that we need to throw our lives away. You know how I feel about noble sacrifices.
'''Alisaie:''' Right - that's settled! We'll be keeping the acts of gratuitous bravado to a minimum.
'''Alisaie:''' When I look Father in the eye and swore we'd find a way to avert this tragedy...
'''Alisaie:''' It wasn't a promise just for him. It was a promise for you, too.

'''> Thancred?'''
'''Thancred:''' Evening.I hoped you hadn't crawled beneath the covers just yet.
'''Thancred:''' If you'll indulge me for a moment, I have a favor to ask.
'''Thancred:''' Don't worry. Nothing desperate or dire, if that's what you were wondering. Not yet.
'''Thancred:''' You know, we may have quite literally entered our final days. The ancients went so far to call it that for a reason.
'''Thancred:''' If so, then everything we did for Ryne, for the First... will have been meaningless. And I can't accept that. I just can't.
'''Thancred:''' My mind won't allow for the possibility, and that could be a problem. When we're in the thick of it, I don't know if I've got it in me to be pragmatic this time... even if running's the right choice. The only choice.
'''Thancred:''' So if you see me turning a blind eye to the harsh reality... beat some sense into me, would you?
'''Thancred:''' I trust you and the other Scions with my life, and I'd like to think the feeling is at least occasionally mutual.
'''Thancred:''' And I'd never forgive myself if my stubbornness put them in danger.
'''Thancred:''' Gods, listen to me. I'm beginning to sound like the father I never had.
'''Thancred:''' So, can I count on you to keep me in line? I can think of no one else more eminently qualified.
'''Thancred:''' Excellent!
'''Thancred:''' Now I can breathe a bit easier. Which isn't to say that I will, given what we're up against.
'''Thancred:''' Let's keep this little chat our secret. I'd rather not have anyone scolding us for burning the midnight oil.

'''> Y'shtola?'''
'''Y'shtola:''' You're still awake. Good.
'''Y'shtola:''' Might I trouble you to stand still for a moment?
'''Y'shtola:''' Hmmm. Nothing appears out of the ordinary.
'''Y'shtola:''' A precautionary measure. You will recall that serving as a vessel for abundant Light in the First very nearly ended poorly.
'''Y'shtola:''' In your recent battle on the moon, you were certainly exposed to similar, if not greater forces. Fortunately, from what I can see, you and your aether are none the worse for wear.
'''Y'shtola:''' Would that Ryne were here to confirm my assessment...
'''Y'shtola:''' To think you actually found yourself in a direct confrontation with Zodiark...
'''Y'shtola:''' As if Zenos gallivanting about in your body was not misfortune enough. Did you so grossly offend every single deity in a past life that they saw fit to place a curse upon your soul?
'''Y'shtola:''' Forgive me, that was in poor taste. I recall vividly how battered and broken it was in the depths of Amaurot.
'''Y'shtola:''' Would that you could have seen it with your own eyes. Mayhap then you would understand why the greater part of me is glad you did not. It was... a horror beyond description.
'''Y'shtola:''' Promise me you will be careful. That you will seek my counsel if you feel unwell.
'''Y'shtola:''' That puts my heart as ease, if only a touch. I suspect it will grow colder as the night wears on, so do be sure to stay warm.
'''Y'shtola:''' Sleep well, and may the shadows keep you.

'''> G'raha Tia?'''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Oh apologies, I-I didn't mean to... Ahem. If you could spare a moment before bed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thank you, I fear this may be the last quiet night we have to talk for quite some time.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I am... troubled, of late. Unwarranted concerns, perhaps. I hope. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share them with you.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Though you have bested your enemies thus far - Zenos, and even Zodiark - your victories have come at a considerable cost to yourself.
'''G'raha Tia:''' No one is without their limits - and you are no exception. I worry the added weight of the Final Days will prove more than you can bear.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is surely too much for any one woman/man...
'''G'raha Tia:''' But you needn't bear it alone. Let me share your burden.
'''G'raha Tia:''' My, um... carrying capacity pales in comparison to yours, but I could still help. Shoulder the occasional satchel from your ever-growing mountain of, um... baggage.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You have already done so much to help relieve me of mine own encumbrances. 'Tis only fair that I repay you in kind.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Of course, it needn't be only troubles we share.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Moments of joy may seem few and far between now, but there will come a time when we look back fondly on this journey.
'''G'raha Tia:''' The inquiry at the Forum, our march through the snows of Garlemald, our impromptu dinner in this very room - all of it.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And that is to say nothing of the journeys yet to come. To the ends of the world and beyond!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ahem. But tomorrow will be no less busy than today, and I have kept you from your rest long enough.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Sleep well, my friend.

'''> Estinien?'''
'''Estinien:''' You're alone... Good.
'''Estinien:''' The twins thought now would be a wonderful time to pay a visit to my chambers. Rather than listen to them bicker over tonight's snacks and tomorrow's plans, I seized the first opportunity to make my escape.
'''Estinien:''' To their credit, they decided against intruding on your peace and quiet.
'''Estinien:''' It can all be a bit...exhausting at times, can't it?
'''Estinien:''' I wasn't sure what to make of you at first. During the Dragonsong War, how quick you were to take up a cause not your own. But I came to see that is simply the way of you and yours.
'''Estinien:''' I will not pretend to understand this talk of ancient primals and the Final Days.
'''Estinien:''' But I trust in your judgment and choose to believe in your cause. You and Alphinaud have my lance. Now and always.
'''Estinien:''' You will need it, wrack and ruin looming on the horizon. Calamity bearing down upon us.
'''Estinien:''' There's no place I'd rather be than here. Standing shoulder to shoulder with friends on the front line.
'''Estinien:''' So do not hesitate to send me against your enemies. I'll make them rue the day they met me.
'''Estinien:''' Now, if you'll excuse me. I could do with a little air.
'''Estinien:''' If Alphinaud asks... I was never here.
'''Estinien:''' Until the morrow.

'''A short while earlier, in the Ala Mhigan Quarter...'''
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' Thank the gods that tower is gone. The sight of it was enough to make me sick...
'''Ala Mhigan Merchant:''' Thank the Ilsabard contingent, more like. Word is they fought their way into Garlemald and toppled the bloody thing themselves. Not just the one, neither ─ all the towers have up and vanished.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' Aye, I heard the same. Commander Aldynn and his troops helped keep casualties to a minimum, too.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' But is it true they brought back tempered Garlean soldiers?
'''Ala Mhigan Merchant:''' As Commander Aldynn tells it, they've a treatment for that now. But don't you worry ─ cured or not, they've no plans to bring them into the city proper.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' I see. Well, that's a relief, then.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' I know we've brothers and sisters among the lot, but I can't say I'm eager to welcome them home...
'''Ala Mhigan Merchant:''' Won't need to think about it for a while yet. They're to be looked after in Ala Gannha for the time being...

'''Meanwhile, in Ishgard...'''
'''Erenville:''' Another day, another commission of paramount importance...
'''Erenville:''' Hm? Well, what have we here...?
'''Erenville:''' Hey! Are you all right?
'''Erenville:''' Was that...? No. The shadows play tricks. Nothing more.
'''Erenville:''' The towers are gone, and the Garlean threat has abated. And yet...
'''Erenville:''' Why does it feel as though it's about to get much, much worse...?

==Steps==
* Speak with [[Growingway]].
* Defeat the [[Loporrits]].
* Speak with [[Y'shtola]].
* Speak with [[Urianger]].

==Journal==
*Growingway is fidgeting with nervous energy, but is it from excitement or worry?

*Growingway suddenly remembers where the Scions can learn more about the Final Days─the archives located on the second floor of the main plaza. He asks you to follow him as he hops off with all haste.

*In a seemingly unexpected turn of bad luck, the entrance to the archives is locked. Growingway suggests you go and find whoever holds the door's key, but Y'shtola has already seen through his ruse. He soon confesses that he was tasked with distracting you, Y'shtola, and Thancred while Livingway and the other Loporrits carry out an ulterior task. With their plan now exposed, the Loporrits intend to detain you by force if necessary.

*Before reinforcements can overwhelm you, the three of you split up, incapacitating any Loporrits that get in your way. Their motives are not yet clear, but you all agree Urianger must be found before the situation turns dire.

*You find Urianger near the Watcher's Palace in the midst of conversation with Livingway and her companions. Their plan, it seems, was to coerce Urianger to travel back to Etheirys alone where he would assist their collaborators. He refuses, and instead begs the Loporrits be patient, for he believes the people of Etheirys will do what is right in due time. Rather than return, he pledges to remain on the moon, where he will teach the Loporrits what they need to know of Etheirys to better prepare the moon in the event an evacuation becomes necessary.

*Should the worst come to the worst, you must be prepared for every eventuality. And so it is with a heavy heart Urianger bids you safe journey back to Etheirys.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Y'shtola:''' I am beginning to grow tired of these games.

'''Thancred:''' If some scheme was afoot, surely Urianger would be the first to see through it.
'''Thancred:''' Then again, he does tend to give others the benefit of the doubt...

===Accepting the quest===
'''Growingway:''' Oh, what to do, what to do... I promised Livingway I would help, but...
'''Growingway:''' No. I promised I'd help, so that's what I'll do!
'''Growingway:''' The archives are on the second floor of the main plaza, the eastern wing. Follow me!
'''Y'shtola:''' I suspect the Loporrits are up to something, but if there is aught to be learned of the Final Days, I think it best we play along. For now, at least.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' What other knowledge do you suppose we could glean from their archives?

'''Thancred:''' The architecture of this place is impressive, though more than a little confusing to navigate.
'''Thancred:''' Is it too much to ask for clearly marked exits? Or a map, perhaps?

===Speak with Growingway. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' The archives are right through this door, but it seems to be locked.
'''Growingway:''' I guess we'll just have to go and find whoever has the key.
'''Y'shtola:''' Growingway, enough.
'''Y'shtola:''' If you have naught else to tell us of the Final Days, you need only say so. We can ill afford to be wasting time here, as you well know.
'''Y'shtola:''' Did you yourselves not tell us we must act quickly?
'''Growingway:''' Yes. Yes, we did, but...
'''Growingway:''' The moon was to be a perfect paradise for the people of Etheirys, and we're running out of time to make everything ready for their arrival.
'''Growingway:''' We hoped you'd see the wonders we have to offer, but you've found nothing but faults and flaws in our work. Only one of you saw our potential, so you others must be kept here.
'''Thancred:''' Ah, so that's Livingway's game. Run us about in circles and, failing that, lock us away so we can't put the plan at risk.
'''Thancred:''' Everyone except Urianger.
'''Growingway:''' He understands what is at stake... What must be done.
'''Y'shtola:''' I fear you've misjudged us, Growingway. Never have we decried the notion of using the moon as a means of escape.
'''Y'shtola:''' That said, my heart breaks at the thought of abandoning Etheirys and her reflections to their doom. If there is a way to avert the Final Days, I wish to find it. We all do.
'''Y'shtola:''' We may fail, but our efforts would never be at the expense of your plans.
'''Growingway:''' But why would you take that risk!?
'''Growingway:''' There's no room for ifs and maybes now.
'''Growingway:''' The people of Etheirys will escape here to the moon. They'll be safe, and we'll finally get to see all their happy, smiling faces.
'''Growingway:''' I'm sorry, but we can't let you leave. We just can't.
'''Growingway:''' Do what you must, but...try not to hurt them.
'''Growingway:''' I'll be back in a moment. Don't do anything rash while I'm gone.
'''Thancred:''' If we dally, they'll overwhelm us with sheer numbers. I say we knock these ones out, split up, and make our way to the exit.
'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. Let us reconvene where Argos awaits outside.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' There you are. Didn't rough them up too badly, did you?

===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===
'''Y'shtola:''' Good. You're here.
'''Y'shtola:''' We must hurry to the Watcher's Palace and find Urianger.

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Urianger:''' ...And what, pray tell, do we seek at the Watcher's Palace?
'''Livingway:''' Oh, come off it, friend! You know full well why we're here.
'''Livingway:''' The time has come for you to return to Etheirys and help your brethren prepare for their journey here and beyond!
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me, Livingway, but I cannot in good conscience proceed with this plan.
'''Mappingway:''' Huh!? But what about the Final Days? The death and the doom!? We have to hurry before it's too late!
'''Urianger:''' Your unflagging commitment to your duty is endearing, to say the least.
'''Urianger:''' Be at ease. They bear you no grudge, nor do I. How could we, having come to understand your purpose?
'''Urianger:''' For millennia, you and yours worked tirelessly towards the singular purpose of this heavenly vessel's construction. An arduous feat by any measure.
'''Urianger:''' 'Tis clear you have spared no effort. Why, your very names are a testament to your dedication.
'''Livingway:''' Our...our names? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at...
'''Urianger:''' Names are an expression of the self ─ a declaration of one's hopes and aspirations.
'''Urianger:''' Your use of contemporary, uncomplicated nomenclature doth ensure clarity of purpose.
'''Urianger:''' There can be no doubt that your love for the people of Etheirys is boundless and pure.
'''Singingway:''' Yes, yes! A most mellifluous phrasing!
'''Singingway:''' We Loporrits were born of Hydaelyn's love for Etheirys.
'''Singingway:''' That shining, shimmering blue jewel. Brightest star in the sky! Brimming with life and possibilities.
'''Mappingway:''' For as long as I can remember I've toiled in anticipation of the day when this vessel might be needed.
'''Mappingway:''' All I've ever wanted was to meet those She cherished so dearly. To serve and serve well!
'''Livingway:''' That goes for all of us, don't you see? So help us ─ help us help them! Lead them here, where we can keep them safe!
'''Livingway:''' If there's anything wrong with what we've built, we'll fix it! We'll make it right!
'''Urianger:''' Your works want not for repair. Yet there remaineth much for you to learn of men, and your own kin besides.
'''Urianger:''' Singingway. Thy name bespeaketh more than the simple marriage of rhythm and rhyme.
'''Urianger:''' The songs of Etheirys are beyond counting, and span the length and breadth of emotion.
'''Urianger:''' Maps are monuments to man's pioneering spirit and his devotion to charting the furthest reaches of our star.
'''Urianger:''' Many have devoted their lifetimes to exploratory pursuits. To venture unto the highest mountains and the deepest oceans, in search of unknown frontiers.
'''Urianger:''' And thou, my friend. I... Hmm. I do not think we have met.
'''Puddingway:''' My...my name is Puddingway...
'''Urianger:''' Puddingway... Yes, indeed. A name of deep and abiding significance, I am sure, but one perhaps better communicated through delicious deeds than tasteless words.
'''Urianger:''' A judicious application of fae magicks at a later juncture may be appropriate...
'''Urianger:''' And Livingway. 'Tis no easy feat to convey the significance of thy moniker.
'''Urianger:''' Hmmm... When I was a bookish boy, a dear friend of mine was fond of peppering me with questions as I read ─ to my occasional annoyance. One day I posed to her a question of mine own ─ what doth it mean to live?
'''Urianger:''' After much contemplation, she proffered this answer.
'''Urianger:''' The anticipation of a half-read story's conclusion. The hope today's mistake may serve as tomorrow's lesson.
'''Urianger:''' The wish that a new acquaintance may one day call thee friend. She believed it to be all these moments and more.
'''Livingway:''' I...I want to understand, but...
'''Urianger:''' I, too, still labor to find mine own answer. 'Twould be my pleasure to assist you and yours in embarking on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
'''Urianger:''' For thee.
'''Urianger:''' Ink as blue as the waters of Etheirys. Made in haste, though I assure thee the quality has not suffered for it.
'''Urianger:''' The people need not be persuaded by honeyed words. Nay, I have faith they shall do what is right in due course.
'''Urianger:''' Until they do, I beg your patience, friends. And with that ink let us fill the empty pages of Livingway's compendium.
'''Urianger:''' An open exchange of ideas will surely afford you all a better understanding of modern man ─ and with it, ideas for improvements and renovations.
'''Urianger:''' But more importantly, it shall empower us to together find a way forward.
'''Livingway:''' I hope you're right. Thank you for this lovely gift.
'''Urianger:''' There you have it. I shall remain with the Loporrits to ensure that all is in order.
'''Urianger:''' Though we must needs prepare for every eventuality, you would all agree that the evacuation of our star is a last resort.
'''Urianger:''' To accept failure is to accept the demise not only of our star, but that of Ryne's. Of all reflections, and the souls that call them home.
'''Urianger:''' Which is why I have every faith that you shall fight to the last. That such drastic measures may prove unnecessary.
'''Thancred:''' Should the worst come to the worst ─ and I pray deeply that it won't ─ I'll take comfort in knowing preparations were made under your watchful eye.
'''Urianger:''' Aye, thou mayest be assured that if calamity cometh, not a soul will be left behind. “If” being the operative term.
''The flower glows in WOL's pocket.''
'''The Watcher:''' That flower... How came it into your possession?
'''The Watcher:''' How very like Her.
'''The Watcher:''' Guided by its light, you may come to know Her true intentions. Intentions which remain a mystery even to us.
'''The Watcher:''' In our time, we called it “Elpis”... You would do well to remember the name.
'''Livingway:''' Er, I hate to interrupt, but...I feel like I need to make amends for all the secrecy.
'''Y'shtola:''' Think nothing of it ─ we haven't been the most gracious of guests. Do convey our apologies to Growingway and the others.
'''Livingway:''' But of course! And when next we welcome more guests from Etheirys, we'll have learned to be much more hospitable hosts!
'''Livingway:''' Oh, and circling back to the matter of inappropriate secrecy, we ought to discuss our benefactors.
'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. The Sharlayan Forum, yes?
'''Livingway:''' What!? How did you know!?
'''Y'shtola:''' The more I heard, the more obvious it became. The Forum's aims align closely with those of your anonymous patrons. “A telling coincidence” would be an understatement.
'''Y'shtola:''' Though had we not taken it upon ourselves to peruse certain restricted tomes in Labyrinthos, we might still be unaware of their plans.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...But let us continue this discussion upon our return. I daresay we have kept Alphinaud and the others waiting long enough.
| Voiced cutscene end |

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mappingway:''' There is little I can do to help stop the Final Days, but should you need to know of star traversal, look no further!
'''Mappingway:''' Such knowledge I can offer in abundance, so do not hesitate if you find yourself wanting.

'''Livingway:''' Well, that was all rather embarrassing, wasn't it? At least we're on the same page now ─ people ''and'' Etheirys. We'll save both, or at least give it a good try.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Make sure everyone listens to Urianger, would you?
'''Livingway:''' Oh, we'll be all ears. And you know we can be!
> Tell Growingway I look forward to our next walk together.
'''Livingway:''' I will. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it.
> You Loporrits sure an excitable bunch.
'''Livingway:''' Well, it's not as if we've been waiting twelve thousand years to meet the people of Etheirys. Oh wait, we have! But that's neither here nor there. Under Urianger's tutelage, we'll strive to become more hospitable hosts, and see that the moon is fully equipped to meet the needs of its potential passengers.

'''Puddingway:''' Nice to meet you... Name's Puddingway.
'''Puddingway:''' Sorry again for all the trouble... We promise we'll do better. Honest.

'''Singingway:''' The others will be so happy to hear Urianger is going to stay and teach us all about Etheirys.
'''Singingway:''' We'll have to be careful not to get too distracted by his lessons ─ there's still maintenance to carry out, after all.

'''Y'shtola:''' The Loporrits think so highly of the people of Etheirys, yet it seems this evacuation plan is the only way they know to express their adoration.
'''Y'shtola:''' If we had been more clear in our intentions from the start, mayhap we could have avoided this wrinkle...
'''Y'shtola:''' Something to keep in mind in future.

'''Thancred:''' A declaration of hopes and aspirations... I hadn't thought of it that way before.
'''Thancred:''' The Loporrits may be in good hands now, but that doesn't change the fact that their plan is a last resort I'd rather not employ.
'''Thancred:''' Let's see it doesn't come to that. For the First and all the other reflections.

'''The Watcher:''' I chanced to spy you crossing the chasm, and I feared something was amiss.
'''The Watcher:''' But all is well, and more importantly, I have been given the opportunity to behold a wonderful sight.
'''The Watcher:''' Keep the Elpis close, and its light will be your guide.

===Speak with Urianger.===
'''Urianger:''' 'Twas a relief to see Livingway was pleased with my gift of ink.
'''Urianger:''' “To serve and serve well”... Though their knowledge may be lacking, their boundless love is a blessing without peer.
'''Urianger:''' It will be no easy task to prepare them for what must needs be done, but gladly do I embrace this duty...even if it doth necessitate that we part ways for a time.
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me my absence, but I have the utmost faith in you. In all our fellow Scions. When next I return to Etheirys, I pray I find you all in good health and good spirits.

==Steps==
*Place [[Carrot Seeds|carrot seeds]] in the carrot creation station.
*Pick up the crate of crystals.
*Fill the carrot creation station with water crystals.
*Obtain [[Carrot of Happiness (Key Item)|carrots]] from the carrot creation stations. 0/2
*Deliver the [[Carrot of Happiness (Key Item)|carrots]] to [[Dreamingway]].
*Speak with [[Knockingway]].

==Journal==
*Dreamingway has one last demonstration for you.

*Still determined to discover a dream worthy of pursuit, Dreamingway wishes to show you how the Loporrits grow carrots─by having you try it yourself. To begin, he asks that you bring a handful of seeds to the carrot creation station nearby.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*You somewhat unceremoniously load the seeds into the carrot creation station, impressing Dreamingway nevertheless. He explains that the next step towards a bountiful harvest requires water crystals, which can be had from the sparkling supply station in the northeast corner of the Carrotorium.

*You find a large store of crystals exactly where Dreamingway said they would be. With crate in hand, you make your perilous journey over ramp and oversized stairway to arrive at a nearby carrot creation station.

*Once the crystals are deposited into the machine, all one needs do is wait for the carrots to grow. Fortuitously, after mere moments, Dreamingway hears a sound─undetectable to your ears─that indicates carrots elsewhere in the Carrotorium are ready for picking.

*You visit the surrounding creation stations and, surely enough, find two carrots practically begging to be plucked. After freeing them with satisfying tugs, you tuck them into your bag that you might present them to Dreamingway.

*Dreamingway commends you on a job well done, though sadly, your success only reaffirms his belief that he is an unremarkable Loporrit. Mention of his exceptional hearing, however, gives you an idea, and so you ask if he has ever considered musical pursuits. After a brief explanation of what music is, he hums a melody together with his companion Knockingway. Both find it to be a heartwarming experience, and thus is Dreamingway inspired to share the gift of music with anyone and everyone─a dream of his very own.

*Knockingway thanks you for solving Dreamingway's problem as only a person of Etheirys can. Similarly, the newly motivated Loporrit promises to practice his music often, hopeful that he will have a new tune to play for you when next you meet.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Dreamingway:''' Well, [Forename]? Are you excited to learn about the wonderful world of carrot cultivation?
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Not that there's a lot to it, truth be told. We simply place the seeds in the machine, water them, and then reap the sweet rewards.
'''Dreamingway:''' It's so easy that a─well, that anyone could do it!
'''Dreamingway:''' Hmm... As far as I know, you're an “anyone.” Why not try it for yourself?
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, completing menial tasks is so much more fun with friends! Pray take these seeds and follow me─I do believe there's an open creation station nearby.

====Optional Dialogue, at open creation station====
'''Dreamingway:''' Go on, place the seeds in here.

===Place [[Carrot Seeds|carrot seeds]] in the carrot creation station===
'''Dreamingway:''' That carefree tossing motion of yours seems to have scattered the seeds nicely. Now, of course, they'll need water...
'''Dreamingway:''' Water ''crystals'', to be precise─and this isn't the only machine in need of replenishment. Why don't you pay a visit to the sparkling supply station over in the northeast corner, and then bring a crate of crystals to the creation station nearby?

===Pick up the crate of crystals===
'''System:''' Your next quest objective requires '''''Transporting'''''. You will have 90 seconds to complete the objective.

====Optional Dialogue, at open creation station, while still carrying the water crystals====
'''Dreamingway:''' Load those crystals into the machine to start the growing process─preferably before you drop them all over the floor.

===Fill the carrot creation station with water crystals===
'''Dreamingway:''' That should be enough to make our carrots grow nice and big! And the machine converts them into water bit by bit, so we never need worry that the seedlings are too wet or too dry.
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Oho! Don't you just love that sound?
'''Dreamingway:''' What─did you not hear that tone just now? It's telling us there are carrots ready for harvesting!
'''Dreamingway:''' They're not at this station, but I am certain I heard the joyous sound of two ripened carrots. You may as well see this through to the end─pulling them is the best part!

===Deliver the [[Carrot of Happiness (Key Item)|carrots]] to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Do I smell carrots? ...That was rhetorical. It definitely smells like carrots in here.

''(Hand over two carrots)''

====Cutscene====
'''Dreamingway:''' Mmm, mouthwatering!
'''Dreamingway:''' That's really all there is to it─and to my days, to put it plainly. I apologize for not being more interesting to follow around.
'''Dreamingway:''' So...have you any ideas for a dream that would suit a Loporrit like me?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Er...maybe we should consider one of your hobbies. >'''
'''< What do you do when you're not working? >'''

'''''< Er...maybe we should consider one of your hobbies. >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' But I...I don't have any hobbies...

'''''< What do you do when you're not working? >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' I, um... What ''do'' I do?

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> It seems it just wasn't meant to be. I should never have taken such an extraordinary name, being so very ordinary myself...
'''Dreamingway:''' If only I had some sort of skill to set me apart from the others! Aside from hearing things no one else does, I suppose.

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Hmm... Do you like listening to music? >'''
'''< A good ear, eh? Have you tried making music? >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh! I've read about this “music” of yours, though I'm afraid I can't make heads nor tails of the notation. Do you really think I could learn how to create something so inscrutable?

'''Knockingway:''' What are you two up to?

'''Dreamingway:''' [Forename] was just suggesting that I put the “dream” in “Dreamingway” through the pursuit of music!

'''Knockingway:''' “Music”? I can't say I'm familiar.

'''Dreamingway:''' Yes, we Loporrits can do something similar! A whole lung...nose...face...thing...
'''Dreamingway:''' Look, let's just try it and see how it sounds. Come on, Knockingway!
'''Dreamingway:''' One, two, three!
'''Dreamingway:''' Goodness, that's terribly fun!

'''Knockingway:''' I must confess, humming in tandem has a certain charm that snorting or shrieking does not. I'd be interested in more such “music,” I daresay!

'''Dreamingway:''' Then that will be my dream─bringing joy to others through music!
'''Dreamingway:''' Who knows...perhaps I can inspire others to pursue their own dreams, too.

'''Thinkingway:''' What were those noises? What's this all about?

'''Dreamingway:''' Why, the gift of music, of course! Like this...

====Cutscene====
'''Dreamingway:''' I...I think that might be enough musicking for one day...
'''Dreamingway:''' I don't know how I'll ever thank you, [Forename]. You've changed my life!
'''Dreamingway:''' Finally, I can hold my head high, knowing that my heart will guide my way forward.
'''Dreamingway:''' Dreamingway has a dream!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' At long last, I'm living my dream! I hope that someday I can repay your kindness.

===Speak with [[Knockingway]]===
'''Knockingway:''' I cannot thank you enough for helping my dear friend.
'''Knockingway:''' I hadn't realized he was so upset over not having a dream, of all things...
'''Knockingway:''' You helped him as only a person of Etheirys could.

'''Dreamingway:''' I still have my other tasks to attend to, of course, but I promise to practice every day.
'''Dreamingway:''' Eventually, I want to go beyond just humming, and compose original music!
'''Dreamingway:''' When next we meet, I hope you'll once again lend me an ear. Maybe even two!

==Journal==
*Dreamingway is eager to set about his next task─whatever it may be.

*Dreamingway's next assignment is to repair a caretaker, and for that, he requires spare parts from Heimdall's Last Sight. He rushes off without a second thought─leaving you to give chase lest you lose him entirely.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*You catch up to Dreamingway, who had gotten so far ahead of you that he worried you decided not to come. He has apparently learned absolutely nothing from this experience, as he then dashes off excitedly once more.

*When at last you reach Heimdall's Last Sight, Dreamingway says that he can salvage the parts from the crashed Allagan vessel on his own. He insists you relax and enjoy the view while he sets about his task.

*Whilst waiting, you hear a sudden shriek emanate from the area whence Dreamingway proceeded. You decide you had best check on the Loporrit.

*Your suspicions are confirmed as you find Dreamingway has been set upon by mechanical monstrosities. Steeling yourself, you slay the fiends to rescue your Loporrit companion.

*It transpires that Dreamingway is somewhat shaken, but otherwise none the worse for wear. What's more, he has managed to procure the parts needed to repair the caretaker.

*Dreamingway's work on the caretaker is completed in two shakes of a Loporrit's tail. Though he does not feel hopeful that his true calling involves the maintenance of machinery, there is still one job of his you have yet to see─carrot production.

'''Thinkingway:''' Thank you again for gathering that sand for Buildingway.

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Dreamingway:''' Let's waste no time in continuing our work, shall we, [Forename]?
'''Dreamingway:''' Thinkingway, have you any other jobs for me?

'''Thinkingway:''' Hmm... I suppose there's a caretaker that wants for repairing.
'''Thinkingway:''' If I recall correctly, the particular parts you need will be over at Heimdall's Last Sight.

'''Dreamingway:''' I'll get right to it!
'''Dreamingway:''' It looks like we're on maintenance duty. Join me at Heimdall's Last Sight as quickly as you can!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' I imagine Dreamingway will be at Heimdall's Last Sight by now. It's not that he's that much faster than the rest of us, but he's impossible to slow down once he sets himself to a task...

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' There you are. I was beginning to worry you'd abandoned our quest!
'''Dreamingway:''' Now, to the Heimdall! Follow me!

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' According to our records, this vessel landed on the moon about five years ago. It's been a wonderful source of spare parts.
'''Dreamingway:''' ...And also of horrible mechanical monsters, but never you mind that.
'''Dreamingway:''' I've been here countless times by now, so you can leave the salvaging to me. Simply relax and enjoy the view!

===Wait at the designated location===
'''???:''' Oh, boil my carrots!

'''System:''' This colorful expletive is followed by the telltale screech of a Loporrit in distress. Perhaps you ought to check on Dreamingway...

===Aid [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Thank heavens you were here! I tried to run, but I tripped... That grey sand is not ''nearly'' as pleasant when it's in my mouth, let me tell you.
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> And here I was hoping to show you what a competent and capable worker I could be on my own...
'''Dreamingway:''' I did manage to get the parts we need, though, so all's well that ends well! Meet me at the Carrotorium, and we'll see if we can't fix that caretaker.

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Dreamingway:''' As you can see, this is the caretaker that needs our attentions.
'''Dreamingway:''' The poor thing's not even able to move right now─but it'll be good as new once I'm done with it!
'''Dreamingway:''' Shift this over there... Stick the thingamabob in the whatsit, and...
'''Dreamingway:''' Restored to pristine condition in no time at all!
'''Dreamingway:''' Most Loporrits know enough to make similar repairs, though. It's really nothing special...
'''Dreamingway:''' And I cannot even imagine how one would go about building such a machine from scratch. No, something tells me my dream lies elsewhere.
'''Dreamingway:''' I suppose that's more than we had to go on before, though. Not to mention that there's still one job of mine that I haven't shown you yet! Would you care to see how we grow carrots?
'''Dreamingway:''' Well, then, let's hop to it!

==Journal==
*Dreamingway is eager to set about his next task─whatever it may be.

*Dreamingway's next assignment is to repair a caretaker, and for that, he requires spare parts from Heimdall's Last Sight. He rushes off without a second thought─leaving you to give chase lest you lose him entirely.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*You catch up to Dreamingway, who had gotten so far ahead of you that he worried you decided not to come. He has apparently learned absolutely nothing from this experience, as he then dashes off excitedly once more.

*When at last you reach Heimdall's Last Sight, Dreamingway says that he can salvage the parts from the crashed Allagan vessel on his own. He insists you relax and enjoy the view while he sets about his task.

*Whilst waiting, you hear a sudden shriek emanate from the area whence Dreamingway proceeded. You decide you had best check on the Loporrit.

*Your suspicions are confirmed as you find Dreamingway has been set upon by mechanical monstrosities. Steeling yourself, you slay the fiends to rescue your Loporrit companion.

*It transpires that Dreamingway is somewhat shaken, but otherwise none the worse for wear. What's more, he has managed to procure the parts needed to repair the caretaker.

*Dreamingway's work on the caretaker is completed in two shakes of a Loporrit's tail. Though he does not feel hopeful that his true calling involves the maintenance of machinery, there is still one job of his you have yet to see─carrot production.

==Journal==
*Dreamingway would show you how he spends his day.

*Dreamingway decides to show you one of the jobs that occupies his time on any given day─gathering resources. Before setting out on this most essential of tasks, however, he bids you join him in speaking with Thinkingway to learn what materials want for gathering.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*According to Thinkingway, Buildingway is in need of crystals, a requirement Dreamingway seems especially familiar with. Dreamingway asks you to meet him in Vallis Vulneris, rushing ahead to find a suitable deposit of crystals to mine.

*By the time you arrive, Dreamingway has already finished mining all the crystals he requires. But as luck would have it, he recalls something else Buildingway recently asked for─grey sand. How fortuitous that the surrounding area is filled with it.

*The sand is coarse, rough, and irritating, and it made its way everywhere. Nevertheless, you gathered an ample store. Dreamingway is certain to be pleased with your contribution.

*As it transpires, Dreamingway is indeed more excited to receive a pile of sand than anyone should be. Perhaps you should be thankful that he didn't ask for more.

*When you make your delivery, Thinkingway shows themself to be somewhat perplexed as to how Dreamingway knew that Buildingway needed sand, but thanks you both for your hard work regardless. This brief stint in the life of Dreamingway failed to offer ideas for a dream to pursue, but your Loporrit companion is not deterred. He has more to show you, and is confident inspiration is forthcoming.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Dreamingway:''' My warmest and fuzziest thanks for your continued help, [Forename]! I was thinking─if the other Loporrits can't tell you what I might be best at, perhaps you could follow me around and see for yourself.
'''Dreamingway:''' My primary work includes gathering materials, equipment maintenance, and─most importantly─carrot production! All indispensable to our day-to-day operations, as I'm sure you agree.
'''Dreamingway:''' As for what to show you... Perhaps a spot of foraging? Everyone likes a good forage!
'''Dreamingway:''' We'll need to go and see Thinkingway in Greatest Endsvale first─they're the Loporrit who allocates this sort of work. I'd hate to step on any toes!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' Thinkingway always has some manner of vegetable, mineral, or ooze of indeterminate origin in need of gathering...

===Speak with [[Thinkingway]]===
'''Thinkingway:''' I see you have a rather special companion today, Dreamingway. What's the occasion?

'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, nothing of import! She's simply here to observe me as I go about my day. Speaking of which...are there any tasks in need of doing?

'''Thinkingway:''' As a matter of fact, there are! Buildingway is in need of more crystals. Could you perchance mine some?

'''Dreamingway:''' But of course! I suppose he'll want the usual assortment.
'''Dreamingway:''' Right, then! It's off to Vallis Vulneris. I'll go on ahead and look for a suitable deposit of crystals.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' Might I assist you with something?

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Aha! You found me!
'''Dreamingway:''' Truth be told, while I was waiting I felt an itch to get started, and, er... Before I knew it, I had gathered all the crystals Buildingway will need!
'''Dreamingway:''' I have a feeling he could use some sand as well, though, so why not collect it while we're here? I'm sure one bit of grey sand looks much like the rest to you, but trust me─the grey sand here is the ''best''.
'''Dreamingway:''' It's simple enough work, so would you care to join me?
'''Dreamingway:''' Splendid! I'll let you have the deposits right outside the grot─those are always so delightfully gritty. Return here when you've filled a bag or two!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Dreamingway:''' If you get confused, just think, “Is it grey? Is it sand?” That will carry you through!

===Deliver the [[Grey Sand|grey sand]] to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' How was the sand?
'''Dreamingway:''' Lovely as ever! Buildingway will be delighted.
'''Dreamingway:''' We should make our delivery to Thinkingway as soon as possible. Last one there's a moldy carrot!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' Reporting in is an important part of my duties. You should try it!

===Report to [[Thinkingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Thinkingway:''' Ah, that was efficient. Did you manage to procure what I asked for?

'''Dreamingway:''' And more! I thought that Buildingway might want some of that oh-so-sandy Vallis Vulneris sand, so we went ahead and gathered that too.

'''Thinkingway:''' Now that you mention it, he did ask me to procure some grey sand... Heavens, it would have been embarrassing if I turned up without a grain!

'''Dreamingway:''' Do you remember what he needed it for?

'''Thinkingway:''' I vaguely recall mention of a pit full of the stuff... Apparently the children of Etheirys enjoy such things.
'''Thinkingway:''' I'm more curious about how ''you'' were aware of this request. Buildingway said he hadn't told anyone but me about his latest project.

'''Dreamingway:''' Well...I must have overheard you two talking when I was out collecting crystals last time.

'''Thinkingway:''' Given how far the grot is from here, that seems incredibly unlikely...
'''Thinkingway:''' But never mind that. You brought the sand, and for that I'm most grateful.

'''Dreamingway:''' See what I mean? That's some good sand!
'''Dreamingway:''' Ahem. Now, while enjoying this tiny glimpse of my day-to-day life, did you find any dreams I might be capable of aspiring to?
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, don't worry if you haven't! We've only just begun, after all.
'''Dreamingway:''' I really must learn to be patient. Surely the right inspiration is out there, just waiting to strike!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' Thank you again for gathering that sand for Buildingway.

*Report to [[Dreamingway]].

==Journal==
*Knockingway would like you to call upon a friend.

*Knockingway explains that their friend, Dreamingway, has not been at his best since awakening from hibernation. As they believe the forlorn Loporrit would be more likely to open up to a representative of Etheirys, you agree to go and ask him what is wrong.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*Upon introducing yourself to Dreamingway, you learn that his name is the cause of his concern. Inspired by the people of Etheirys, he aspires to achieve a dream of his own─yet has no idea what he should pursue. Perhaps, as he hopes, the other Loporrits will be able to point you in the right direction.

*You speak with Dreamingway's acquaintances, and though they have only praise for their fellow Loporrit, none can say what he might be particularly suited to. Though he will doubtless be disappointed, Dreamingway would want to know that you must pursue other avenues.

*Dreamingway is disheartened, though unsurprised, by his fellow Loporrits' responses. You are loath to let him give up hope so soon, however, and encourage him to continue searching. With your help, he might yet find meaning in his name.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Knockingway:''' Hail, person! Yes, you! Do you have a moment?
'''Knockingway:''' You see, ever since we awoke for inspection, a friend of mine has been acting a little funny. Funnier than usual, even! I can hear him sighing from all the way over here.
'''Knockingway:''' I would go and call on him─as I do─but he always insists that nothing's wrong...
'''Knockingway:''' I think he'd be unable to help himself from opening up to you, though. He has always been ever so fond of people. Would you mind lending him an ear or two?
'''Knockingway:''' Many thanks to you! My friend's name is “Dreamingway,” and he should be somewhere nearby─just follow the lamentatious snuffling.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Knockingway:''' I'm fairly certain I hear sounds of distress emanating from the eastern quadrant...

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> ...Stay focused, Dreamingway! Sure, you're no Workingway, but...
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh! Oh my.
'''Dreamingway:''' You're not a Loporrit...
'''Dreamingway:''' Am I dreaming? Is the day finally here? Am I truly talking with a visitor from Etheirys!?
'''Dreamingway:''' Wh-Whatever can I help you with, kind madam?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< One of your friends asked me to check on you. >'''
''''''

'''''< One of your friends asked me to check on you. >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' Wh-Who put you up to such a thing!?

''''''''''
'''Dreamingway:''' H-How did you know!?

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' ...I-In any case, I couldn't bother an honored guest with my silly troubles.
'''Dreamingway:''' If you insist... Perhaps I could share a nibble of what's on my mind.
'''Dreamingway:''' Ah, but first─may I ask your name?
'''Dreamingway:''' [Forename] [Surname]? A truly spectacular name! I'm sure it speaks to your character, in one way or another...
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> If only I could say the same for mine...
'''Dreamingway:''' Perhaps it was a mistake to choose “dream” from that tome of words, for try as I might, I have no such thing! And seeing everyone else live up to their names since our awakening has only made me more aware of it.
'''Dreamingway:''' The people of Etheirys, on the other paw, seem to dream a great deal. Have you any advice for me?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Focus on what you love to do. >'''
'''< Focus on what you're good at. >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' B-But that's the problem─I haven't the foggiest idea what that would be!
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Though my fellow Loporrits might. I've known them since...well, since we were created, so perhaps they see something in me that I cannot.
'''Dreamingway:''' With their help, you must be able to find an objectively appropriate dream for me to pursue! You know best what would be of service to mankind, after all.
'''Dreamingway:''' I'm all ears, so you need only tell me once you've come up with something─anything at all!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Dreamingway:''' I hope the others have something to say about me...

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]'s acquaintances===
'''Cheerful Loporrit:''' Hmm... He's no sluggard, I can tell you that! Always happy to lend a paw when there's work to be done.
'''Cheerful Loporrit:''' Compared to some of the others... Well, let's just say that he's a great help!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Cheerful Loporrit:''' Dreamingway has never been one to stand about twiddling his paws! Unlike some...

'''Stern Loporrit:''' You want to know about Dreamingway?
'''Stern Loporrit:''' I can't say I know him terribly well─he's always rushing off on a new task just as soon as he finishes the old one. I've always thought him a good sort, though.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Stern Loporrit:''' Dreamingway is always there when I need him─and always rushing off to the next thing that catches his eye when I don't.

'''Easygoing Loporrit:''' Dreamingway? He can do anything he sets his mind to. He doesn't complain about getting his paws dirty, either!
'''Easygoing Loporrit:''' That said, I'm not sure I can think of anything he's ''particularly'' gifted at...
'''(Optional)'''
'''Easygoing Loporrit:''' I doubt there's anything he ''can't'' do, really.

===Report to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Did they have aught of interest to share? Please say they did...
'''Dreamingway:''' ...That's more or less what I expected, I suppose. “Nice enough, but in no way gifted.” <sigh>
'''Dreamingway:''' Perhaps I was never meant to dream...

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< It's never too late to dream! >'''
'''< Don't worry─we'll find your dream yet. >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' Y-You really think so? Goodness, people are truly as kind as they say...
'''Dreamingway:''' In that case, I promise not to give up until we've found my dream! Even if it's the last thing I do...
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Huh, that got grim. Let's exhaust our other options before we go for anything potentially lethal, shall we?

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I hear you have a penchant for excitement and adventure, is that correct?
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Then I assume in your travels you have doubtless heard tales of the Allagans.

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< The Allagans? Don't get me started. >'''
'''< Yes, and nearly everything wrong with the world seems to be their fault. >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I thought as much.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I ask because I have plans to survey an Allagan relic not far from here. The weapons guarding it, however, make it too dangerous for me to go alone.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I trust you see where this is going. So, are you interested in a little adventure?
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Much obliged. Now, let's be off. No time to waste.

===Speak with the [[brusque Loporrit]]===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' The crash site is just ahead. If you find anything that may prove useful, I'd be grateful if you could retrieve it for me.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Onward, then. Er... After you.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Large, isn't it? I wonder what secrets it holds...

===Investigate the Allagan relic===
'''System:''' This bit of Allagan technology is certainly fascinating. A shame it's too bulky to carry back...

'''System:''' This apparatus is offline, but appears to be transportable. You place it in your ambiguously sized bag...

===Speak with the [[brusque Loporrit]]===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Phew. A moment longer and that drone would have alerted more...
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Now, did you find anything of interest?
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Oh? Let me have a look...
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' No, you're right. It must wait until we get back.

===Deliver the [[Systems Cube|systems cube]] to the [[brusque Loporrit]]===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Safe at last. Now, show me what you found.
''(Hand over Systems Cube)''
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' This... This is an Allagan decryption unit.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' With it, we could read Allagan tomestones about history, science, poetry... If we had any, which we do not. An adventure for another day, I suppose.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Nevertheless, I'm deeply excited by the prospect─as I'm sure you can tell. You have my heartfelt gratitude.

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': You're that visitor everyone's been talking about. I don't suppose you have time to assist me in a matter of life and death?

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Four of my friends went out to patrol the moon and mine for ore. They should be back by now, but... Well, I'm worried something happened!

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': I can't say I'm too keen on the idea of coming face-to-facelike-growth with one of those roving fungi by myself, though. Could you come along? Please come along...

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Thank you! Let's hop to it, then. My friends were headed toward the Chlorophosgrot.

===On the moon's surface===

(Optional) '''Sprightly Loporrit''': Sweet Mother Hydaelyn! I hope they're all right...

'''Reeling Loporrit''': ...Guh? Wha? Why are you...?

'''Reeling Loporrit''': I-I'm not slacking! I, erm...passed out after a weeper ambushed me. Yes, that's definitely what happened.

'''Reeling Loporrit''': If you're looking for the others, they went ahead to survey the Chlorophosgrot and the area around the Cradle of Darkness. I'd get them myself, but I'm much too laz -- er, that is, exhausted from my encounter with the weeper.

(Optional) '''Reeling Loporrit''': The others are either there in the Chlorophosgrot or near the Cradle of Darkness... I'm sure they're fine, though. They're nowhere near as, uh...exhausted...as I am.

(Optional) '''Sprightly Loporrit''': ...Do you hear intermittent snoring?

'''Sleepy Loporrit''': Mining makes me so...so sleepy. Must...stay...awake...

'''Sleepy Loporrit''': ...Hmmm? Oh, is it time to go back already? I hardly got anything done. Oh well!

'''Preoccupied Loporrit''': I'm sure this plant wasn't here last time... Well, would you look at that, it's made my paw all tingly. Numb, even... Surely there's some use for this!

'''Preoccupied Loporrit''': Goodness me! Time to head back, is it? I was so focused, I completely lost track of time.

'''Dozing Loporrit''': This hole sure is deep. Drop a rock in there, and you'll never hear it hit the bottom...

'''Dozing Loporrit''': Oh, it's you! Is something the matter?

'''Dozing Loporrit''': Eep! Sorry for the bother -- I didn't realize I'd been gone so long. I'll head back right away.

(Optional) '''Dozing Loporrit''': How far down could that hole go, I wonder?

(Optional) '''Preoccupied Loporrit''': I can't feel my arm now. But it still moves, so it's fine, right? ...Right?

(Optional) '''Sleepy Loporrit''': <yawn> Maybe I'll get some proper mining done next time.

'''Reeling Loporrit''': I feel much better after that brief and totally regulation-compliant break. Let's head back and sift through the spoils of our expedition!

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': I hope they don't think you're impressed by their shenanigans... <sigh> Honestly!

===At Bestways Burrow===

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Thanks again for helping me round everyone up. I'm glad no one was hurt...

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': They were lucky this time, but with those fungi and other odd creatures out there, I think we'll have to reconsider our patrol routes from now on. For a mercy, there are plenty of places to mine for ore nearby.

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Before you go, I'd like you to have this. Don't be a stranger!

==Journal==
*Growingway is keen to put his recent mishap behind him.

==Dialogue==
'''Growingway:''' It may not seem like it, but we've been planning for this far longer than I'd care to admit.
'''Growingway:''' Each time we woke up, we'd have long discussions about how to save as many of you as we can. Felt like everyone had an opinion on this or that.
'''Growingway:''' But the one thing we all agreed upon was that the people of Etheirys wouldn't take action to save themselves until it was far too late.
'''Growingway:''' That's why we're striving to make the moon a vibrant, magical place they'd hop at the chance to visit, rather than waiting for the flames of oblivion to get them off their tails and force them to accept our invitation.
'''Growingway:''' The residential quarters may not be up to the necessary standards just yet, but there are plenty of other places worth seeing!
'''Growingway:''' You've already had a look around the Carrotorium, but wait until you see what's waiting for you at the east end of the burrow. Follow me!

===Speak with Growingway.===
'''Growingway:''' Good, you're here. Through this door is Greatest Endsvale!
'''Growingway:''' It was named as such because it's the vale to end all vales. The most beautiful forest you'll ever see.
'''Growingway:''' We understand the people of Etheirys enjoy taking leisurely walks through “natural spaces” and the like, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
'''Growingway:''' How about we start with a nice stroll to the fountain? This way!

===Speak with Growingway again.===
'''Growingway:''' So, what did you think of the forest? Isn't it positively pleasant? Simply sublime?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I couldn't see the forest ''or'' the trees...
'''Growingway:''' You're pulling my tail! We're in the forest right now!
> I didn't see any - wait. You don't mean those crystals out there are...
'''Growingway:''' Right you are! Our forest is made of crystals and constructs, dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see.
> 'Tis as transcendent as burying your face in a chocobo's plumage and take a good, long whiff!
'''Growingway:''' You really think so? Truly?
'''Growingway:''' Hearing you say that means more to me than you know. Personally, I'd say this place is the pride of the burrow.

'''Growingway:''' Building this place was a challenge, let me tell you. Since we were born here, we've never seen trees in person before, let alone a forest.
'''Growingway:''' The information sent by our collaborators was quite enlightening, but after much deliberation, we decided to use crystalline constructs in place of living trees.
'''Growingway:''' And thanks to our atmospheric circulation system, this place produces air as clean as that you'd find in a forest on Etheirys!
'''Growingway:''' The fountain here behind us, powered by the rather large crystal adorning its top, plays a vital role in supplying us with fresh water.
'''Growingway:''' Much time and effort was spent making it the most spherical of spheres, and I daresay the unparalleled roundness speaks for itself.
'''Growingway:''' I enjoy nothing more than a nice, long '''stretch''' and a spot of relaxation whenever I come up here. You look like you could do with a stretch yourself.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Growingway:''' Feeling tense, [Forename]? Why not stretch and relax?

'''System:''' Growingway looks at you expectantly. Perhaps it would be best to oblige him with a quick '''''stretch'''''.

===Do a nice, big /stretch near Growingway. ===
'''Growingway:''' That's the spirit! I feel more relaxed simply watching you.
'''Growingway:''' A sight worth the many years spent building this place.
'''Growingway:''' If it's not too much to ask... It's always been a dream of mine to take a walk through this forest with someone from Etheirys. Could we maybe...?

===Speak with Growingway and have him accompany you.===
'''Growingway:''' <gasp> You will!? Oh, be still my quivering whiskers!

> Speak with Growingway
'''Growingway:''' Ahhh... Nothing like a relaxing stroll to forget one's worries, eh?

'''Conversation Point:''' ''At Greatest Endsvale'' (X:32.0, Y:11.5)
> Ask if you can taste the rainbow... crystal.
'''Growingway:''' What...? N-No! I'm not sure what it is you do with crystals on Etheirys, but we don't ''eat'' them ─ and certainly not this one. It's possessed of all six elements─wind, lightning, fire, earth, ice, and water. We use crystals like these to maintain the moon's elemental equilibrium.
'''Growingway:''' It's worth mentioning, though, that because of Hydaelyn's influence ─ being the embodiment of tranquility and stasis and all ─ manipulating the elements here is different than it might be on Etheirys.
'''Growingway:''' A conjuring of fire would sooner dry your clothes than singe them, for example. Put simply, the aetheric conditions are ill-suited to growth, which is why the surface is mostly barren.
'''Growingway:''' Of course, this was all necessary to keep the raging energies of Zodiark in check.

===Accompany Growingway to the designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' I was thinking, [Forename]...that I could be more helpful to you by teaching you a little about the moon and what it is we do.
'''Growingway:''' When we were first created, the moon's sole purpose was to hold Zodiark, and there was absolutely ''nothing'' to be found here.
'''Growingway:''' Eventually, Hydaelyn gave us our first task: furnish the moon with propulsion systems capable of facilitating travel to other stars.
'''Growingway:''' It sounds impressive, and I suppose in some respects it is, but it was only possible thanks to all the knowledge Hydaelyn shared with us. We also had a ''lot'' of time to get it done. Six thousand years, give or take.
'''Growingway:''' But anyway, let's keep going.

===Accompany Growingway to the second designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' This may come as a surprise, but we didn't begin building the habitable areas until after the propulsion systems were ready.
'''Growingway:''' Considering how long it took, I wish we'd started sooner. Who would've thought we'd need four thousand years to make all this?
'''Growingway:''' It certainly wasn't work you dare rush, either. We had to create infrastructure and countless supporting systems, some of which wouldn't be operational until hundreds of years later.
'''Growingway:''' And then there was that brief period where our productivity came to a screeching halt ─ when that bizarre red satellite was sent up from Etheirys. The Allagans' mischief, I think.
'''Growingway:''' We thought maybe some new, nefarious actor was colluding with Zodiark. All we could do was stand by and brace ourselves for the worst.
'''Growingway:''' I can't tell you how relieved we were when Hydaelyn informed us of its destruction. Oh yes, there was much joyous humming that day.

===Accompany Growingway to the third designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' Say, do you notice anything peculiar about the treetops? I mean, apart from the fact they're massive crystals, and not trees.
'''Growingway:''' I'll give you a hint: it's the golden rings emanating from the glowing spheres.
'''Growingway:''' Along with the device fixed near the ceiling, they fulfill a role similar to our sun ─ and do so better, even.
'''Growingway:''' The sun and similar celestial objects in the great expanse radiate energy that is harmful to your bodies. These rings shield you from that energy while allowing you to bathe in the perfect amount of sunlight. Or rather, a close approximation of it.
'''Growingway:''' Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say? Oh, and if you look closely, you'll see different types of “trees” have ever-so-slightly different curvature! Yes indeed, this forest truly is the greatest.

===Accompany Growingway to the fourth designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' There was something else I wanted to tell you about. Uh... Oh, right.
'''Growingway:''' The propulsion systems and habitat facilities were completed around two thousand years ago, and with that, the most important features were fit for purpose.
'''Growingway:''' Which was all well and good, except we still knew absolutely nothing about the present-day people of Etheirys.
'''Growingway:''' “Why not go and visit Etheirys yourself?” you might ask. Strictly forbidden. Were our technology or knowledge of the moon's true purpose exploited for evil ends...the results could be disastrous.
'''Growingway:''' Then there were a few more Rejoinings, and it became increasingly difficult to converse with Hydaelyn.
'''Growingway:''' Fearful we might lose the ability to communicate with Her altogether, we beseeched Her to find people on Etheirys we could trust to help.
'''Growingway:''' We were quite fortunate everything worked out as it did.

===Accompany Growingway to the fifth designated location and then speak with him. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' With the exception of routine inspections and maintenance, we remained asleep and waited, hopeful Hydaelyn would find someone who would help us.
'''Growingway:''' Eventually She did, and though Her power was waning, we were able to speak to them directly for a short while.
'''Growingway:''' We shared with them everything we could, including our knowledge of the heavens, and a means to travel here to the moon.
'''Growingway:''' They certainly didn't waste any time with what we taught them. No more than a few years after that, our collaborators found a means to convey messages and supplies to us from down below.
'''Growingway:''' With all the letters, books, and other resources they sent, we learned enough to start making more meaningful changes to the moon.
'''Growingway:''' And now you're here, hopefully enjoying yourself as much as I am!
'''Growingway:''' I knew you would like Greatest Endsvale, I knew it!
'''Growingway:''' Thank you again for coming here, by the way. I know it was just a walk through the forest, but it meant a lot to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' There you are.
'''Y'shtola:''' I take it you've already received the grand tour? A shame we missed it.
'''???:''' Growingway! I've been looking all over for you!
'''Growingway:''' Oh! I, uh... Is this about the teleporter to the residential area?
'''Livingway:''' No, never mind that. We have more pressing matters at hand.
'''Livingway:''' I will be calling an emergency meeting shortly, and your attendance is required.
'''Growingway:''' Really...? I can't imagine why you'd need me there, but if you insist.
'''Livingway:''' We won't be away long, so you all are more than welcome to continue looking about the burrow. Now, come along, Growingway.
'''Y'shtola:''' Before we arrived, you seemed to be in the midst of a rousing conversation with your guide. Did you learn anything of import?
'''Thancred:''' They've spent twelve ''thousand'' years preparing for this?
'''Thancred:''' With the appointed hour fast approaching, I can certainly understand their restlessness. But still...
'''Y'shtola:''' It remains to be seen if the people can be persuaded to evacuate when there are yet no signs of the Final Days.
'''Y'shtola:''' What's more, the technology of this place defies imagination. I doubt there are many who would readily come to terms with living in such surroundings.
'''Thancred:''' Whoever these collaborators are, unless they are possessed of the world's most charming personalities or a means to forcibly evacuate people, they will meet with a great deal of resistance.
'''Y'shtola:''' Indeed. Even if faced with annihilation, the decision to forsake all one knows cannot be made lightly.
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me, friends, but I must beg your leave. There is another matter which yet begs for mine attention.
'''Thancred:''' Of course. We can accompany you if you like.
'''Urianger:''' Nay, that will not be necessary. If you will excuse me.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' Huh... What do you suppose has suddenly tickled his fancy?

===Speak with Y'shtola.===
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis clear now that difficult decisions lie ahead of us.
'''Y'shtola:''' Preparation for the evacuation of Etheirys is indeed crucial, but I am not yet willing to forsake our world and its reflections ─ and I trust I am not alone in my reticence.

'''Growingway:''' Good, you're here. Through this door is Greatest Endsvale!
'''Growingway:''' It was named as such because it's the vale to end all vales. The most beautiful forest you'll ever see.
'''Growingway:''' We understand the people of Etheirys enjoy taking leisurely walks through “natural spaces” and the like, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
'''Growingway:''' How about we start with a nice stroll to the fountain? This way!

===Speak with Growingway again.===
'''Growingway:''' So, what did you think of the forest? Isn't it positively pleasant? Simply sublime?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I couldn't see the forest ''or'' the trees...
'''Growingway:''' You're pulling my tail! We're in the forest right now!
> I didn't see any - wait. You don't mean those crystals out there are...
'''Growingway:''' Right you are! Our forest is made of crystals and constructs, dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see.
> 'Tis as transcendent as burying your face in a chocobo's plumage and take a good, long whiff!
'''Growingway:''' You really think so? Truly?
'''Growingway:''' Hearing you say that means more to me than you know. Personally, I'd say this place is the pride of the burrow.

'''Growingway:''' Building this place was a challenge, let me tell you. Since we were born here, we've never seen trees in person before, let alone a forest.
'''Growingway:''' The information sent by our collaborators was quite enlightening, but after much deliberation, we decided to use crystalline constructs in place of living trees.
'''Growingway:''' And thanks to our atmospheric circulation system, this place produces air as clean as that you'd find in a forest on Etheirys!
'''Growingway:''' The fountain here behind us, powered by the rather large crystal adorning its top, plays a vital role in supplying us with fresh water.
'''Growingway:''' Much time and effort was spent making it the most spherical of spheres, and I daresay the unparalleled roundness speaks for itself.
'''Growingway:''' I enjoy nothing more than a nice, long '''stretch''' and a spot of relaxation whenever I come up here. You look like you could do with a stretch yourself.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Growingway:''' Feeling tense, [Forename]? Why not stretch and relax?

'''System:''' Growingway looks at you expectantly. Perhaps it would be best to oblige him with a quick '''''stretch'''''.

===Do a nice, big /stretch near Growingway. ===
'''Growingway:''' That's the spirit! I feel more relaxed simply watching you.
'''Growingway:''' A sight worth the many years spent building this place.
'''Growingway:''' If it's not too much to ask... It's always been a dream of mine to take a walk through this forest with someone from Etheirys. Could we maybe...?

===Speak with Growingway and have him accompany you.===
'''Growingway:''' <gasp> You will!? Oh, be still my quivering whiskers!

> Speak with Growingway
'''Growingway:''' Ahhh... Nothing like a relaxing stroll to forget one's worries, eh?

'''Conversation Point:''' ''At Greatest Endsvale'' (X:32.0, Y:11.5)
> Ask if you can taste the rainbow... crystal.
'''Growingway:''' What...? N-No! I'm not sure what it is you do with crystals on Etheirys, but we don't ''eat'' them ─ and certainly not this one. It's possessed of all six elements─wind, lightning, fire, earth, ice, and water. We use crystals like these to maintain the moon's elemental equilibrium.
'''Growingway:''' It's worth mentioning, though, that because of Hydaelyn's influence ─ being the embodiment of tranquility and stasis and all ─ manipulating the elements here is different than it might be on Etheirys.
'''Growingway:''' A conjuring of fire would sooner dry your clothes than singe them, for example. Put simply, the aetheric conditions are ill-suited to growth, which is why the surface is mostly barren.
'''Growingway:''' Of course, this was all necessary to keep the raging energies of Zodiark in check.

===Accompany Growingway to the designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' I was thinking, Yams...that I could be more helpful to you by teaching you a little about the moon and what it is we do.
'''Growingway:''' When we were first created, the moon's sole purpose was to hold Zodiark, and there was absolutely ''nothing'' to be found here.
'''Growingway:''' Eventually, Hydaelyn gave us our first task: furnish the moon with propulsion systems capable of facilitating travel to other stars.
'''Growingway:''' It sounds impressive, and I suppose in some respects it is, but it was only possible thanks to all the knowledge Hydaelyn shared with us. We also had a ''lot'' of time to get it done. Six thousand years, give or take.
'''Growingway:''' But anyway, let's keep going.

===Accompany Growingway to the second designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' This may come as a surprise, but we didn't begin building the habitable areas until after the propulsion systems were ready.
'''Growingway:''' Considering how long it took, I wish we'd started sooner. Who would've thought we'd need four thousand years to make all this?
'''Growingway:''' It certainly wasn't work you dare rush, either. We had to create infrastructure and countless supporting systems, some of which wouldn't be operational until hundreds of years later.
'''Growingway:''' And then there was that brief period where our productivity came to a screeching halt ─ when that bizarre red satellite was sent up from Etheirys. The Allagans' mischief, I think.
'''Growingway:''' We thought maybe some new, nefarious actor was colluding with Zodiark. All we could do was stand by and brace ourselves for the worst.
'''Growingway:''' I can't tell you how relieved we were when Hydaelyn informed us of its destruction. Oh yes, there was much joyous humming that day.

===Accompany Growingway to the third designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' Say, do you notice anything peculiar about the treetops? I mean, apart from the fact they're massive crystals, and not trees.
'''Growingway:''' I'll give you a hint: it's the golden rings emanating from the glowing spheres.
'''Growingway:''' Along with the device fixed near the ceiling, they fulfill a role similar to our sun ─ and do so better, even.
'''Growingway:''' The sun and similar celestial objects in the great expanse radiate energy that is harmful to your bodies. These rings shield you from that energy while allowing you to bathe in the perfect amount of sunlight. Or rather, a close approximation of it.
'''Growingway:''' Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say? Oh, and if you look closely, you'll see different types of “trees” have ever-so-slightly different curvature! Yes indeed, this forest truly is the greatest.

===Accompany Growingway to the fourth designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' There was something else I wanted to tell you about. Uh... Oh, right.
'''Growingway:''' The propulsion systems and habitat facilities were completed around two thousand years ago, and with that, the most important features were fit for purpose.
'''Growingway:''' Which was all well and good, except we still knew absolutely nothing about the present-day people of Etheirys.
'''Growingway:''' “Why not go and visit Etheirys yourself?” you might ask. Strictly forbidden. Were our technology or knowledge of the moon's true purpose exploited for evil ends...the results could be disastrous.
'''Growingway:''' Then there were a few more Rejoinings, and it became increasingly difficult to converse with Hydaelyn.
'''Growingway:''' Fearful we might lose the ability to communicate with Her altogether, we beseeched Her to find people on Etheirys we could trust to help.
'''Growingway:''' We were quite fortunate everything worked out as it did.

===Accompany Growingway to the fifth designated location and then speak with him. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' With the exception of routine inspections and maintenance, we remained asleep and waited, hopeful Hydaelyn would find someone who would help us.
'''Growingway:''' Eventually She did, and though Her power was waning, we were able to speak to them directly for a short while.
'''Growingway:''' We shared with them everything we could, including our knowledge of the heavens, and a means to travel here to the moon.
'''Growingway:''' They certainly didn't waste any time with what we taught them. No more than a few years after that, our collaborators found a means to convey messages and supplies to us from down below.
'''Growingway:''' With all the letters, books, and other resources they sent, we learned enough to start making more meaningful changes to the moon.
'''Growingway:''' And now you're here, hopefully enjoying yourself as much as I am!
'''Growingway:''' I knew you would like Greatest Endsvale, I knew it!
'''Growingway:''' Thank you again for coming here, by the way. I know it was just a walk through the forest, but it meant a lot to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' There you are.
'''Y'shtola:''' I take it you've already received the grand tour? A shame we missed it.
'''???:''' Growingway! I've been looking all over for you!
'''Growingway:''' Oh! I, uh... Is this about the teleporter to the residential area?
'''Livingway:''' No, never mind that. We have more pressing matters at hand.
'''Livingway:''' I will be calling an emergency meeting shortly, and your attendance is required.
'''Growingway:''' Really...? I can't imagine why you'd need me there, but if you insist.
'''Livingway:''' We won't be away long, so you all are more than welcome to continue looking about the burrow. Now, come along, Growingway.
'''Y'shtola:''' Before we arrived, you seemed to be in the midst of a rousing conversation with your guide. Did you learn anything of import?
'''Thancred:''' They've spent twelve ''thousand'' years preparing for this?
'''Thancred:''' With the appointed hour fast approaching, I can certainly understand their restlessness. But still...
'''Y'shtola:''' It remains to be seen if the people can be persuaded to evacuate when there are yet no signs of the Final Days.
'''Y'shtola:''' What's more, the technology of this place defies imagination. I doubt there are many who would readily come to terms with living in such surroundings.
'''Thancred:''' Whoever these collaborators are, unless they are possessed of the world's most charming personalities or a means to forcibly evacuate people, they will meet with a great deal of resistance.
'''Y'shtola:''' Indeed. Even if faced with annihilation, the decision to forsake all one knows cannot be made lightly.
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me, friends, but I must beg your leave. There is another matter which yet begs for mine attention.
'''Thancred:''' Of course. We can accompany you if you like.
'''Urianger:''' Nay, that will not be necessary. If you will excuse me.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' Huh... What do you suppose has suddenly tickled his fancy?

===Speak with Y'shtola.===
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis clear now that difficult decisions lie ahead of us.
'''Y'shtola:''' Preparation for the evacuation of Etheirys is indeed crucial, but I am not yet willing to forsake our world and its reflections ─ and I trust I am not alone in my reticence.

'''Watchingway:''' Excuse me, miss─have you by chance seen any thieves prowling about with ill-gotten iron carrots? They're crimson, tender, surprisingly heavy...the carrots, that is, not the thieves.
'''Watchingway:''' If you haven't seen them yet, I'm sure you will! We've been told that you “adventurers” are quite good at solving crimes that no one else can be bothered with.
'''Watchingway:''' Wonderful! I'm relying on you to solve our carrot caper. Honestly, what manner of fiend would deny a Loporrit their dinner...
'''Watchingway:''' Ahem. Anyway, our culprit─or culprits─took four carrots in all. Those are not easy to carry about, so I daresay they can't have gotten far!

'''Watchingway:''' The supporter? I never would have suspected... It's supposed to help us farm carrots, not eat them!
'''Watchingway:''' Hmm... I recall the technicians said something about enhancing its code with a love for carrots to increase work efficiency. But to go so far as to steal carrots for itself, I fear it may now love them a little ''too'' much...

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Weavingway:''' What do you think of our clothing? I'll have you know I'm the mastermind behind its design!

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Oh! It's you! Uh... If it's not too much trouble, I could really use your help!
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' We've been making clothes for your people, but after speaking with Livingway, I realized we've made a grave mistake!
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Considerable alterations must be made to our plans, and I was hoping you might join me to speak with the Loporrit in charge of garment adjustments.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Thank you! They're not going to be happy about this...

====Optional Dialogue, at upper levels====
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' I'm telling you, we're doing it all wrong! We have to fix these clothes before it's too late!

===Speak with the Loporrit tailor===
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' How are we supposed to resize everything when we don't even know what to base the alterations on?
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Oh! You must be the model, then. I see... You really are like a baby carrot.

'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Perhaps an explanation is in order... You see, we'd like you to help us redefine the style of the clothing we create.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' We believe comfort and familiarity are key to accommodating the people of Etheirys...which is why we thought masks and all-purpose robes would suffice.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' When Livingway claimed the fashion trends of Etheirys are far removed from what we were anticipating, I was incredulous, but meeting you made everything painfully clear!

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Indeed. I see now that our plans won't do. Your garments are so vibrant and...unique.
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' We still need to decide what adjustments to make, so would you please stay a while?
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Thank you. Now, be a dear and strike a '''''pose''''' for me, will you? I want to get an idea of how the fabric moves with you.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' If you could '''''pose''''' for me, that would be a great help.

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' No need to be shy. There's no one watching but the two of us. Go ahead and give us a '''''pose'''''.

'''System:''' The Loporrit tailor watches you intently. Strike a '''''pose''''' to show off your garb.

===[[Pose|/pose]] for the Loporrit tailor===
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Yes, just like that! Hmm... I see. May I ask why you chose to wear this outfit?

'''< What will you say? >'''
''''''
'''< It's practical. >'''
'''< Not sure ''what'' I was thinking, to be honest. >'''

''''''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' So people find designs like this aesthetically pleasing? I'll have to bear that in mind when I redesign our concepts...

'''< It's practical. >'''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Ah, so it's not only form that appeals to you, but function as well! A practical choice, I suppose, if you're to take to the battlefield...

'''< Not sure ''what'' I was thinking, to be honest. >'''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' What, did you choose it with your eyes closed? Ugh... Well, I suppose it just goes to show how very routine clothing is to you.

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Might I see your '''''battle stance''''' next? If the people of Etheirys have need to fight, I'd like to be certain their clothes strike fear in the hearts of their enemies.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' I'm fairly sure that if I were to wander onto a battlefield, I'd be turned into a pelt in no time...

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Would you show me your most valiant '''''battle stance'''''? Your clothes must be stylish, but they must also strike fear into the hearts of your enemies! ...People enjoy that, yes?

'''System:''' The Loporrit tailor watches you intently. Assume a '''''battle stance''''' to show off your garb.

===Assume your [[Battle Stance|/battlestance]] for the Loporrit tailor===
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Yes... I believe I have a solid grasp of what our designs were lacking before.

'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Truly, I never realized that one's choice of attire could make such an impression!

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' And that ensemble quite befits your personality, I must say.
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' ...Which means we can't just throw the same garb on everyone. What is that saying you have? Ah, yes─“variety is the spice of life”!
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' You have given me so many new ideas, I can hardly wait to get started! In fact, I cannot wait at all!

'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Er... Right, then. Would you care to follow me back to my station?

===Speak with the [[vacillating Loporrit]]===
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' I do believe that we have a much better idea of what we should be making now, and the necessary alterations should prove little trouble.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Just you wait─someday soon, the people of Etheirys will be clamoring for the latest fashions from Bestways Burrow!
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' ...Assuming I get back to work, that is. Thank you for your help!

==Journal==
*Recordingway needs to gather more data.

==Dialogue==

'''Recordingway''': Curses! Insufficient data, even after everything I've done.

'''Recordingway''': You! Livingway told me about you. Would you mind lending me a hand?

'''Recordingway''': As you know, we Loporrits only awakened recently. While we were sleeping, Mare Lamentorum has undergone a number of bewildering changes, one of those being the appearance of strange walking fungi -- thinkers, we call them.

'''Recordingway''': An Allagan vessel crashed here many years ago, you see, and some part of it pierced through the wall of our underground bioplant. I believe the spores from within eventually made their way to the surface of the moon, where they went on to mutate and evolve in our absence.

'''Recordingway''': I mean to study these curious new life-forms, but I need more data before I can draw any real conclusions. Would you be willing to retrieve a sample of fungal filaments for me? Yes, a single sample would more than suffice.

'''Recordingway''': If I remember my culture studies correctly, you will expect some form of payment in exchange for services rendered, yes? Bring me that filament, and I will see you are duly compensated.

'''Recordingway''': I was starting to wonder if the thinkers had done you in. Were you able to retrieve a sample?

'''Recordingway''': Excellent! I'll get to work analyzing it right away.

'''Recordingway''': ...Hm? Why, the structure of this filament is altogether different from the fungi growing in the bioplant.

'''Recordingway''': Mayhap the spores mixed with substances leaked from the Allagan ship. Chimera incubation fluid, perhaps? In any case, this isn't good. Any and all potential threats must be eliminated if we are to make the moon fit for inhabitation.

'''Recordingway''': You have helped with a most important discovery, and for that, you have my thanks. Here -- your reward as promised.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' While I'm sure the Loporrits would hop at the chance to expound upon carrots in exhaustive detail, perhaps it's time we moved on?

'''Urianger:''' 'Hmm...

'''Thancred:''' I hate to admit it, but...I did rather like the carrots.

'''Cookingway:''' Hungry for more carrots? Fear not, you can eat to your heart's content after you've seen the rest of Bestways Burrow.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Livingway:''' I think we've had our fill of carrots for now. Let's move on to other necessities, shall we?
'''Livingway:''' Our clothing production is sure to impress. This way!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' Garments born of the heavens, crafted with methods ancient and forgotten. Dress befitting we who walk in shade, stewards of the esoteric...

'''Y'shtola:''' Do you suppose the clothes they prepared will be as grossly oversized as the carrots?

'''Thancred:''' It's hardly Sunsilk Tapestries, but perhaps we'll be pleasantly surprised.

===Speak with Livingway.===
'''Livingway:''' Here we are ─ the apparel production station.
'''Livingway:''' We've chosen to employ more traditional methods for this task ─ creation magicks!
'''Livingway:''' Hydaelyn, in Her infinite wisdom, blessed us with the selfsame affinity for magic Her people possessed. We have other amazing talents, of course ─ and I know you're dying to hear about them ─ but I will regale you with the details another time.
'''Livingway:''' That said, we did run into a spot of trouble at first. Our magic alone was not sufficient to see our work done.
'''Livingway:''' In the end, we discovered crystallized aether was a wonderful catalyst that could provide us with the extra vis we needed.
'''Y'shtola:''' My, how resourceful.
'''Livingway:''' Ah, the sweet sound of recognition! You will also be impressed to hear we've read all about your habit of changing attire to match your chosen profession. For the sake of efficiency, I presume? This has also been taken into account with our designs.
'''Livingway:''' But why take my word for it when you can simply try on our clothes?
'''Livingway:''' Make yourselves known to the workers and they will see to the rest!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Livingway:''' If you're worried about sizing, don't be. It should be a simple matter to adjust our concepts as required...and it ''will'' be required.

===Speak with the restless Loporrit.===
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Ah! I-It's you! One of the visitors from Etheirys! Goodness me, Mappingway wasn't kidding ─ you really ''are'' smaller than the watcher.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Oh, right! You're here to try on a set of clothes, yes?
'''Restless Loporrit:''' What would you have me fashion for you today?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> An outfit that embodies my bloodlust.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Embodies your...what?
> Something simple, yet functional.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Simple and functional. Right.
> A fashionable and refined ensemble.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Fashionable... Right...

'''Restless Loporrit:''' Ahem. This will only take a moment.

'''Restless Loporrit:''' There we are. All finished!
'''Restless Loporrit:''' A perfect fit, if I do say so myself.

''(If you chose "Something simple, yet functional.")''
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Nothing too billowy or frilly, as you can see. Also light and durable — sure to serve you well wherever your travels might take you!
''(If you chose "A fashionable and refined ensemble.")''
'''Restless Loporrit:''' I'll be honest─I know nothing of fashion, let alone fashion on Etheirys. B-But I'd wager no one down there has ever worn anything like this fine ensemble. Perhaps you can start a new trend!
''(If you chose "An outfit that embodies my bloodlust")''
'''Restless Loporrit:''' I would be lying if I said I understand what bloodlust is, but I assume it's something you enjoy. I made certain the clothes are flexible yet sturdy enough to endure...whatever it is you plan to do while wearing them.

'''Restless Loporrit:''' Would you look at that. Speechless! And there I thought you may not like it.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' If you've a mind to try something else, why not speak with my fellow artisans?
'''Restless Loporrit:''' I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige.

<blockquote>You must continue wearing these garments in order to progress.
You will change back to your normal garments if you move too far away. Look
to your map for the garment change's area of effect.
Speak with the restless Loporrit to restore or prolong the garment change.</blockquote>

===Speak with the Jubilant Loporrit while wearing your new attire.===
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Ah! N-No one said you'd be coming! Er...how can I help you?
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' You wish to try my clothes? Really?
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' O-Of course! It would be my honor! Did you have anything in mind?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Got anything with a little more...flair?
> I'm looking for clothes with an altogether different design.
> Surprise me!

'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' I-I think I can handle that. Let's see...
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' This should do!

'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Some of my best work yet.
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' It's a relatively new concept incorporating an idea that's never been tried with clothing before.
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Fragrance! Can you smell the carrots? <sniff> <sniff> Ah, simply divine!
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' I was worried how the concept would turn out when put to the proof, but it looks stunning on you!
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Won't you go and show Livingway? I'm sure she's eager to see what we've come up with.

<blockquote>You must continue wearing these garments in order to progress.
You will change back to your normal garments if you move too far away. Look
to your map for the garment change's area of effect.
Speak with the Jubilant Loporrit to restore or prolong the garment change.</blockquote>

===Speak with Livingway while wearing your new attire. (Cutscene)===
'''Livingway:''' My, don't we look splendid!
'''Livingway:''' The result of much trial and error, but I know quality work when I see it.
'''Livingway:''' Shhh. You needn't speak. I can see your adoration for the moon and we Loporrits in your eyes. No doubt your friends feel the same having sampled our creations.

'''Thancred:''' Sorry to have kept you waiting...
'''Y'shtola:''' They insisted we sample ''all'' of their concepts ere we returned.
'''Urianger:''' Verily, 'tis an ensemble most becoming.

'''Scions:''' ......

[[File:Scions in Loporrit Clothes.jpg|450px]]

'''Thancred:''' ...I think it's past time we returned these clothes.
'''Livingway:''' I was so confident our garments would meet with your approval... <sigh> Whatever are we doing wrong?
'''Livingway:''' The watcher taught us that, in his time, everyone wore the same robes. To do otherwise was against social etiquette.
'''Livingway:''' We thought we could appeal to modern tastes by tailoring the robes to specific professions, but...
'''Y'shtola:''' Please, you mustn't be so hard on yourself. Should we resort to evacuating the people of Etheirys, they will most certainly have need of your attire.
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis clear you spared no effort in addressing our needs, but you must understand that we are not quite so...homogenous.
'''Y'shtola:''' Speaking for myself, what I wear now better suits my tastes, even if it is of inferior make.
'''Y'shtola:''' But there are others whose choices may be influenced by traditions or personal experience. Rather than make assumptions for the whole, you must consider the individual and their potential preferences.
'''Livingway:''' I fear we've underestimated the complexity and diversity of your people. <sigh> Even if we'd memorized every tome we received, I doubt we'd have fared much better.
'''Livingway:''' Maybe we're doing you a disservice trying to shower you with our baubles and frippery, thinking it was for your benefit when you'd be better off on your own...
'''Thancred:''' ...There are some who might agree. People who prefer to keep others at arm's length, even when they know they shouldn't.
'''Thancred:''' As one such former fool, I'd like to ask you a question.
'''Thancred:''' This plan to evacuate and escape the Final Days ─ did it account for the reflections of the Source as well?
'''Livingway:''' Um... Not that I'm aware of...
'''Livingway:''' We were born of Hydaelyn's love for Etheirys, and the salvation of the people on that star, and that star alone, has ever been our aim.
'''Livingway:''' Surely it's better to devote ourselves to saving one world than to divide our efforts across fourteen, and risk failing them all?
'''Thancred:''' ...I suppose you're right.
'''Y'shtola:''' Livingway, might we have leave to explore Bestways Burrow unattended? You have given us much to think about.
'''Livingway:''' Why, certainly.
'''Y'shtola:''' Until later, then.
'''Urianger:''' If I may, I should like to accompany thee a while longer.
'''Livingway:''' Really!?
'''Livingway:''' I-I mean, you're more than welcome to. There was actually something I wished to speak with you about.
'''Livingway:''' Let's be off then, shall we?

'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Hmmm......

===Speak with the fidgeting Loporrit.===
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Ahhh! M-My apologies. I wasn't trying to spy or anything.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Everyone's been talking about the visitors come from Etheirys, and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' I was excited at first, but now...now I'm worried.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' What if the people of Etheirys refuse to come? What if we can't save them!?
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' <sigh> It's clear we've made a mess of things.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Oh, but wait! You still haven't visited the domiciles! Once you see them, you'll understand how wonderful the moon truly is, I'm sure of it.
'''Growingway:''' I'll be waiting for you by the teleporter near the entrance. Oh, and the name's Growingway, by the way. See you soon!

===Speak with Growingway. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' You're here! You're really here!
'''Growingway:''' Thank you! Thank you so much, uh...er... Sorry, what should I call you?
'''Growingway:''' [Forename Surname], eh? Crikey, even your names are amazing.
'''Growingway:''' Well, [Forename], we'll be using this teleporter to enter the residential area.
'''Growingway:''' Whenever you're ready.

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Growingway:''' Readying the teleporter.
'''Growingway:''' Huh? Access to living quarters restricted due to reconstruction? Then where is it... Oh no!
'''Urianger:''' A private audience, as thou didst request. For reasons I know not...
'''Livingway:''' Just a precaution. I'd rather I didn't have to ask the question at all, but I take my responsibilities very, very seriously.
'''Livingway:''' Do you and your friends, by any chance, find our accommodation wanting? Be honest. Brutally, even.
'''Urianger:''' 'Twould be ungracious of me to belittle the efforts of thee and thine.
'''Livingway:''' Lovely sentiment, really, but the disappointment is writ plain on your comrades' faces. It's all the more frustrating since no one will come out and say what they find wanting!
'''Livingway:''' If there are faults in our work, we need to know. We can ─ we will ─ do better. But time is not on our side.
'''Livingway:''' The Final Days will wait for no one. If your people are to be saved, we must take quick and decisive action.
'''Livingway:''' This vessel must serve as a home for as many passengers as possible ─ for far longer than we may like. Which brings me to my request.
'''Livingway:''' Our collaborators on Etheirys are doing what they can to prepare for the voyage. Would you be willing to go and lend them a hand?
'''Livingway:''' Having seen the moon for yourself, you could speak to its many splendors. Learn what else they might require and assuage whatever concerns they have.
'''Urianger:''' Wherefore wouldst thou entrust me with such a task?
'''Livingway:''' How to put it... You're the only one who appears not to be wholly unsatisfied with our work.
'''Livingway:''' Or quite good at pretending that's the case, at least. Calm, collected, tactful to a fault ─ very particular with your words, too.
'''Livingway:''' You understand that, in the face of great danger, one cannot pursue perfection at the expense of practicality. That difficult choices must often be made for the greater good.
'''Urianger:''' And so fate doth conspire to set my feet upon this path once more...
'''Livingway:''' Come again?
'''Urianger:''' Ah, idle musings. 'Tis no trifle thou dost ask, yet full well do I understand the urgency...and necessity...
'''Urianger:''' I...
'''Growingway:''' Oh, dear me, dear me! I'm terribly sorry for the mix-up!
'''Growingway:''' It's a bit of a malfunction. I hadn't realized the residential quarters were inaccessible, you see...
'''Growingway:''' But you're still in one piece, so all's well that ends well, yes? Won't happen again. I promise!
| Voiced cutscene end |

===Speak with Growingway again.===
'''Growingway:''' Gosh, that was embarrassing. I promise to be more careful from now on.
'''Growingway:''' Since the residential quarters are closed for now, I've rerouted the teleporter to allow travel between floors instead. Hopefully it proves useful in the meantime.
'''Growingway:''' <sigh> A shame you couldn't see it, though. You really would've liked it.

<blockquote>You can now travel between the upper and lower floors of Bestways Burrow via the teleporter.</blockquote>

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' I should have realized something was amiss when Livingway referred to us as children. What other delightful misconceptions do they hold, I wonder.

'''Urianger:''' 'Tis unfortunate that the domiciles were constructed in error, but their willingness to perform such sweeping renovations is a testament to their commitment.
'''Urianger:''' I cannot fathom the resources required for a facility so vast...

'''Thancred:''' Why do I get the feeling we're going to have our hands full dealing with the Loporrits?

'''Mappingway:''' Oh dear. I certainly hope Buildingway can complete the renovations before more guests arrive.
'''Mappingway:''' Or perhaps he should leave them as they are? That way, you'd have more space to lounge about.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Livingway:''' Right, then. Now that you're here, we need you to teach us all you can about your people, and quickly!
'''Livingway:''' It won't be long before the Final Days are upon us in all their terrible grandeur, so it is imperative that we be prepared to receive our passengers-to-be.
'''Livingway:''' If there is anything ─ anything at all ─ that may displease them, it must be addressed posthaste.
'''Livingway:''' And address it we shall. Here at Bestways Burrow, we have assembled everything required to offer our guests the ''best way'' forward!
'''Livingway:''' ...Ahem. We have produced myriad amenities we understand to be essential for day-to-day living, and I wish to hear your opinions on them!
'''Livingway:''' I'm sure you've all worked up an appetite, so why don't we start with foodstuffs? Meet me at the Carrotorium, and we'll see about filling your bellies.
'''Y'shtola:''' She does not want for enthusiasm. The notion of Etheirys rotting to its core being a matter of course is rather concerning, though.
'''Y'shtola:''' Nevertheless, let us take this opportunity to learn more of the Loporrits and this vessel.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Urianger:''' Hast thou spied the peculiar sentinels patrolling the vicinity? Approach them with caution─or better yet, not at all─for they make no distinction between friend or foe.

'''Thancred:''' ...Am I the only one who suspects we're not going to find anything edible whatsoever?

'''Y'shtola:''' Given their earlier confusion regarding our size, I cannot help but wonder if they even know the first thing about us...

'''Cookingway:''' You're a lot smaller than we expected, but I trust you still have large appetites, yes?

===Speak with Livingway.===
'''Livingway:''' Welcome to the Carrotorium! Here we create prototypes of the various sundries required by our soon-to-be passengers.
'''Livingway:''' Allow me to introduce the head of foodstuff production─
'''Cookingway:''' Cookingway! Pleasure to meet you all!
'''Cookingway:''' Our work has involved no small amount of trial and error, but after many, many cycles of painstaking labor, I daresay we have created the finest cuisine our guests could ask for.
'''Cookingway:''' I've learned all about the essential nutrients for a healthy and balanced diet from the reference materials we received! Why, I've practically worn the words from those invaluable pages!
'''Cookingway:''' Naturally, we've also considered ease of growth and production. We will not want for ingredients!
'''Cookingway:''' I must insist you try some. We have fresh stock recently prepared on account of...well, because we just woke up, and were all quite famished.
'''Livingway:''' Hop along the platforms here, and you'll find a storage unit full to bursting with delectable delights. Help yourself to anything you like.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Livingway:''' I'm eager to hear what you think of our work. I'm sure there's some small room for improvement, but I'm confident you'll be satisfied!

'''Cookingway:''' One serving's never enough. You'll be back for seconds and thirds, I'm sure of it!

===Examine the storage crate.===
You open the storage unit and find a rainbow-colored assortment of carrots.
> The unassuming orange carrot
From frond to tip, no scratches or blemishes mar this immaculate specimen. Nevertheless, if not for its excessive length and girth, one might think it was an ordinary carrot.
> Are you sure you want to eat the carrot?
On second thought, you elect to simply take an obscenely large carrot for now. Due to its bizarre qualities, it would be prudent to ask Cookingway whether it is safe to eat first.
> The peculiar-looking blue carrot
The blue variety is strangely supple to the touch and smells vaguely of mint. Its excessive length and girth only adds to the dubiousness of this so-called carrot.
> Are you sure you want to eat the carrot?

===Show Cookingway the obscenely large carrot.===
'''Cookingway:''' So, did any of our selections set your mouth to watering? [Item request: Obscenely Large Carrot]
'''Cookingway:''' Ah yes, a fine choice! One of my personal favorites, actually.
'''Cookingway:''' Please, dig in! I'm eager to hear what you think.

===Eat the obscenely large carrot.===
With great trepidation, you take a bite out of the carrot...
''(If you chose the orange carrot)''
There is a satisfying crunch as you sink your teeth into the orange skin, and a warm tingling sensation runs down your spine. With the second bite, a wave of euphoria washes over you, and you drown in bliss. Alas, as you finish, the elation fades, leaving you with a desperate craving for another carrot.
''(If you chose the crimson carrot)''
The carrot is oddly tender, but as you begin to chew, a rich aroma fills your nostrils. A newfound vigor begins welling within you! The rumbling of your stomach, however, suggests it may simply be indigestion.
''(If you chose the blue carrot)''
You are taken by surprise when blue juices burst forth from the carrot and dribble down your chin. As you take your second bite, you can feel your mental faculties sharpening. Your mind opens to the universe, and for a brief moment the mysteries of existence are simple, transformative truths... but the revelation is fleeting... When you at last finish the carrot, a sweet-yet-sour aftertaste lingers on your tongue and the number forty-two in your mind.
''(If you chose the yellow carrot)''
You snap off a piece of the carrot, enjoying its crunchy texture. Righteous confidence surges within you, a certainty that you're the center of the universe - that all creation is a story and you're the star, beloved, perfect, and special. A god, worthy of worship and prayer... or at the very least a second roll should the dice treat you poorly.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Livingway:''' The carrot met with your approval, yes?

===Speak with Cookingway. (Cutscene)===
'''Cookingway:''' What did you think? Unlike anything you've ever tasted, yes?

''(If you chose the orange carrot)''
'''Cookingway:''' The carrot of happiness is full to bursting with nutrients and is guaranteed to leave you feeling satiated. It's a staple among us Loporrits.
''(If you chose the crimson carrot)''
'''Cookingway:''' The iron carrot can be a bit difficult to digest, but the boost to endurance it promises makes the perfect meal before a day of heavy lifting.

'''Cookingway:''' We have plenty of other varieties, too. Bleeding carrots to improve blood flow, dream carrots to help with sleep...
'''Cookingway:''' So you see, we have a carrot for every occasion!

'''''What will you say?'''''
> These carrots are ... extraordinary...
'''Livingway:''' Then why do you seem so disappointed? If they're lacking somehow, we need to know.
> But... what if I don't like carrots?
'''Livingway:''' You don't like carrots...? Oh, you must mean you don't like them served in this fashion. Worry not—we have puréed versions on hand if you haven't the time to chew.
> I can certainly see demand for this in Sharlayan.
'''Livingway:''' Sharlayan? What in blazes is that?

'''Y'shtola:''' I take it you too had a wide assortment of carrots to choose from and naught else?
'''Y'shtola:''' If I may ask, what exactly did these collaborators share with you about cuisine on Etheirys? Surely you are aware we have an abundance of dishes and foods you could emulate?
'''Livingway:''' Of course we are! But, well...it was only quite recently that we established contact...
'''Livingway:''' Even holding a conversation was a struggle at first, so imagine our surprise when they sent a mountain of books and documents with no clear instructions. The sheer amount of information was overwhelming! If it wasn't for that encyclopedia I found, we would have been at a loss where to begin.
'''Livingway:''' And so we decided, rather than divide our resources to prepare a variety of middling and potentially unsatisfying meals, it would be more efficient to devote our efforts to the production of a single perfect food.
'''Thancred:''' That's all well and good, but man cannot live on raw carrots alone.
'''Thancred:''' Have you considered ''cooking'' them?
'''Cookingway:''' You mean steaming, boiling, roasting, and the like? I suppose we ''could'' prepare the carrots in other ways...
'''Cookingway:''' But our primary concern was efficiency, and what's more efficient than sinking your teeth into a carrot fresh from production?
'''Thancred:''' A rather strange approach to take for one named ''Cookingway'', isn't it?
'''Cookingway:''' Well, technically speaking, Cookingway isn't my given name. When first created, we were all named in the old tongue ─ you know, that otherwise impenetrable parlance the watcher speaks?
'''Cookingway:''' After we received a great tome of words ─ a dictionary, that is ─ from our collaborators, we learned your language. Adverbs, gerunds, present-continuous verb conjugations... Just the basics.
'''Cookingway:''' Then, we found the terms related to our given tasks, and used them to form new names. Aren't they helpful?
'''Thancred:''' No, not really. But it does explain a great deal.
'''Urianger:''' Wherefore didst thy kind deem such a change necessary?
'''Cookingway:''' When the rest of your people arrive, we want to be certain they understand immediately what each of us does. You'd never be able to pronounce our original names anyway.
'''Urianger:''' I see...
'''Y'shtola:''' I hope our critiques, such as they are, were helpful to you.
'''Y'shtola:''' Though if you should decide to preserve flora and fauna from Etheirys as well, you would be able to offer the passengers a more balanced diet.
'''Y'shtola:''' Until such a day ─ one I pray comes sooner than later ─ it would appear there is naught but carrots on the menu.

==Trivia==
* The dialogue for eating the blue carrot (philosopher's carrot) references "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", where the number 42 is considered the "answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything".

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' I should have realized something was amiss when Livingway referred to us as children. What other delightful misconceptions do they hold, I wonder.

'''Urianger:''' 'Tis unfortunate that the domiciles were constructed in error, but their willingness to perform such sweeping renovations is a testament to their commitment.
'''Urianger:''' I cannot fathom the resources required for a facility so vast...

'''Thancred:''' Why do I get the feeling we're going to have our hands full dealing with the Loporrits?

'''Mappingway:''' Oh dear. I certainly hope Buildingway can complete the renovations before more guests arrive.
'''Mappingway:''' Or perhaps he should leave them as they are? That way, you'd have more space to lounge about.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Livingway:''' Right, then. Now that you're here, we need you to teach us all you can about your people, and quickly!
'''Livingway:''' It won't be long before the Final Days are upon us in all their terrible grandeur, so it is imperative that we be prepared to receive our passengers-to-be.
'''Livingway:''' If there is anything ─ anything at all ─ that may displease them, it must be addressed posthaste.
'''Livingway:''' And address it we shall. Here at Bestways Burrow, we have assembled everything required to offer our guests the ''best way'' forward!
'''Livingway:''' ...Ahem. We have produced myriad amenities we understand to be essential for day-to-day living, and I wish to hear your opinions on them!
'''Livingway:''' I'm sure you've all worked up an appetite, so why don't we start with foodstuffs? Meet me at the Carrotorium, and we'll see about filling your bellies.
'''Y'shtola:''' She does not want for enthusiasm. The notion of Etheirys rotting to its core being a matter of course is rather concerning, though.
'''Y'shtola:''' Nevertheless, let us take this opportunity to learn more of the Loporrits and this vessel.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Urianger:''' Hast thou spied the peculiar sentinels patrolling the vicinity? Approach them with caution─or better yet, not at all─for they make no distinction between friend or foe.

'''Thancred:''' ...Am I the only one who suspects we're not going to find anything edible whatsoever?

'''Y'shtola:''' Given their earlier confusion regarding our size, I cannot help but wonder if they even know the first thing about us...

'''Cookingway:''' You're a lot smaller than we expected, but I trust you still have large appetites, yes?

===Speak with Livingway.===
'''Livingway:''' Welcome to the Carrotorium! Here we create prototypes of the various sundries required by our soon-to-be passengers.
'''Livingway:''' Allow me to introduce the head of foodstuff production─
'''Cookingway:''' Cookingway! Pleasure to meet you all!
'''Cookingway:''' Our work has involved no small amount of trial and error, but after many, many cycles of painstaking labor, I daresay we have created the finest cuisine our guests could ask for.
'''Cookingway:''' I've learned all about the essential nutrients for a healthy and balanced diet from the reference materials we received! Why, I've practically worn the words from those invaluable pages!
'''Cookingway:''' Naturally, we've also considered ease of growth and production. We will not want for ingredients!
'''Cookingway:''' I must insist you try some. We have fresh stock recently prepared on account of...well, because we just woke up, and were all quite famished.
'''Livingway:''' Hop along the platforms here, and you'll find a storage unit full to bursting with delectable delights. Help yourself to anything you like.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Livingway:''' I'm eager to hear what you think of our work. I'm sure there's some small room for improvement, but I'm confident you'll be satisfied!

'''Cookingway:''' One serving's never enough. You'll be back for seconds and thirds, I'm sure of it!

===Examine the storage crate.===
You open the storage unit and find a rainbow-colored assortment of carrots.
> The unassuming orange carrot
From frond to tip, no scratches or blemishes mar this immaculate specimen. Nevertheless, if not for its excessive length and girth, one might think it was an ordinary carrot.
> Are you sure you want to eat the carrot?
On second thought, you elect to simply take an obscenely large carrot for now. Due to its bizarre qualities, it would be prudent to ask Cookingway whether it is safe to eat first.
> The peculiar-looking blue carrot
The blue variety is strangely supple to the touch and smells vaguely of mint. Its excessive length and girth only adds to the dubiousness of this so-called carrot.
> Are you sure you want to eat the carrot?
On second thought, you elect to simply take an obscenely large carrot for now. Due to its bizarre qualities, it would be prudent to ask Cookingway whether it is safe to eat first.
> The vibrant yellow carrot

'''Cookingway:''' When the rest of your people arrive, we want to be certain they understand immediately what each of us does. You'd never be able to pronounce our original names anyway.
'''Urianger:''' I see...
'''Y'shtola:''' I hope our critiques, such as they are, were helpful to you.
'''Y'shtola:''' Though if you should decide to preserve flora and fauna from Etheirys as well, you would be able to offer the passengers a more balanced diet.
'''Y'shtola:''' Until such a day ─ one I pray comes sooner than later ─ it would appear there is naught but carrots on the menu.

==Trivia==
* The dialogue for eating the blue carrot (philosopher's carrot) references "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", where the number 42 is considered the "answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything".

==Journal==
*At long last, the watcher is ready to fulfill his final duty.

*The watcher would guide you to the facility housing the moon's crew, but the terrain is not easily traversed. To that end, he suggests seeking the aid of Argos to ferry you there. The moon's aetherial guardian is nowhere to be seen, however, and so the watcher suggests calling for him near the Crushing Brand.

*You arrive at the Crushing Brand, but you have further yet to go. Your true destination is a nearby cavern, the Chlorophosgrot. The watcher believes the ambient aether there should allow Argos to take form.

*The cavern is covered in lunar spongoi, which draw aether from the ground and disperse it into the air. There is not yet enough ambient aether in the area, however, and so the watcher asks you to spare a small portion of your own, to speed the process and help Argos to manifest.

*After a few moments, a swirling mass of aether takes shape, and Argos appears in a flash of light. The aetherial guardian is as friendly as before and, perhaps sensing what is to come, creates reflections of himself, one for each of your companions. With that, your party is ready to cross the chasm and meet the moon's crew.

*The watcher will accompany you no further, but he bids you heed the counsel of the moon's pilots, and prays for your success. And so you turn to your companions and the guardians which will deliver you to the other side of the chasm.

*Erring on the side of caution, Y'shtola suggests the two of you cross first, with Thancred and Urianger following soon after. The plan decided, you soar over the chasm and arrive at last at the facility where the caretakers await. Wherever could they be?

*As you enter into the facility, devices on the lower floor whir to life. They soon open, and from within diminutive rabbit-like creatures emerge in droves, a sight in violent defiance of all expectation. These are Hydaelyn's chosen pilots, however, so perhaps there is more to them than meets the eye.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Urianger:''' I should very much like to hear more of this extraordinary story...

'''Thancred:''' The moon...is a ship? Well, now I've heard everything.

'''Y'shtola:''' It may be true, but others will struggle to believe it. I can scarcely believe it myself.

===Accepting the Quest===
'''The Watcher:''' The time is come for you to be on your way.
'''The Watcher:''' The crater at the heart of Mare Lamentorum, where Zodiark was imprisoned, is not so easily traversed, however.
'''The Watcher:''' Let us call upon Argos, the familiar whom you met earlier. He should have no trouble bearing you across.
'''The Watcher:''' As Hydaelyn created me as the gaoler, so too did She create Argos as the guard...
'''The Watcher:''' It is his nature to appear when needed, and yet he is nowhere to be found. Strange... Mayhap the imbalancing of aether has affected him.
'''The Watcher:''' Let us make for the Crushing Brand, and attempt to call upon him there.
'''The Watcher:''' You need but recall the path you walked with Argos before, and you will find your way.
'''Y'shtola:''' If he labors in service to Hydaelyn's plan, I see no reason not to do as he suggests. Shall we make for this Crushing Brand, then?

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' With a little preparation, it might be possible to traverse the gap on foot.
'''Thancred:''' Then again, it would be a long, ''long'' way down if one should slip... Perhaps another time.

'''Y'shtola:''' So close and yet so far. Does not the harsh terrain remind you of somewhere we've been before? The Dravanian forelands, aye.
'''Y'shtola:''' A place that rejects the intrusion of outsiders. Where solitude reigns supreme... At the very least, it sounds suitable for Zodiark's prison.

'''Urianger:''' Naught could prepare me for the boundless beauty of Etheirys. Shining, shimmering, amidst a sea of stars.
'''Urianger:''' A blue sapphire, and but one of countless other jewels brimming with life, no doubt...

===Speak with the watcher.===
'''The Watcher:''' The place we seek is just ahead at the Chlorophosgrot.
'''The Watcher:''' You see, Argos cannot manifest without sufficient concentrations of ambient aether.
'''The Watcher:''' You would be hard-pressed to find a greater confluence than inside this cavern.
'''The Watcher:''' Follow me.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' Curious... This place doth call to mind Pla Enni, home of the Nu Mou.

'''Thancred:''' The guard of Zodiark's prison, eh? Blood red eyes, slavering maw, and built like a behemoth, I'd imagine. Let's hope he's friendly.

'''Y'shtola:''' This entire cave is thrumming with ambient aether...
'''Y'shtola:''' Alas, any further analysis will have to wait.

===Speak with the watcher again.===
'''The Watcher:''' Yes, here will do nicely.
'''The Watcher:''' The lunar spongoi draw aether from the ground, which is then dispersed in the air. At present, however, the ambient energies are not quite sufficient for Argos to manifest.
'''The Watcher:''' Might you be willing to spare some of your own to help the spongoi along?

''Optional dialogue''
'''The Watcher:''' Given time, the lunar spongoi would suffuse this space with sufficient aether, but we need not wait if you are willing to provide a helping hand.

===Suffuse the lunar spongoi with aether. (Cutscene)===
Argos manifests in a flash. He seems glad to see you again.
'''The Watcher:''' A most fascinating creation of Hydaelyn's, would you not agree? Should the need arise, he is even able to create reflections of himself on a whim.
'''The Watcher:''' Though I assure you it was no reflection which accompanied you earlier to the brand.
'''The Watcher:''' No, Argos was quite eager to be at your side then, as he is now, it seems.
'''The Watcher:''' I cannot recall when last he showed such an affinity for anyone. Indeed, I thought him more likely to shy away from you and your companions.
'''The Watcher:''' Perhaps it was more than a sense of duty that compelled him to aid you before.
'''The Watcher:''' As for your companions...
'''Y'shtola:''' Unexpected, but greatly appreciated.
'''Y'shtola:''' I believe we are all ready.
'''The Watcher:''' Then let us return outside that you may cross the chasm.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' I was expecting something a little more intimidating and less...“man's best friend.”

'''Urianger:''' To whom wouldst Hydaelyn entrust the command of so grand a vessel, I wonder?

'''Y'shtola:''' Dalamud has long been described as the “loyal hound” of Menphina due to its relation to the greater moon...
'''Y'shtola:''' It seems highly improbable ─ if not impossible ─ for ancient peoples to have known of Argos, but now I wonder whether there is some connection...

>Interact with Argos
Argos favors you with what could almost be described as a conspiratorial grin.

===Speak with the watcher.===
'''The Watcher:''' Your destination is the structure there across the Cradle of Darkness.
'''The Watcher:''' But climb onto Argos's back, and he will take care of the rest.
'''The Watcher:''' Once you arrive, it should not take long to find the ship's crew. The facility is designed to rouse them from their slumber in the event of Zodiark's destruction.
'''The Watcher:''' Heed their counsel. Together, you may guide the star and its people to a kinder fate.
'''The Watcher:''' This is where we part ways. But know that I shall ever be watching and praying for your success.

''Optional dialogue''
'''The Watcher:''' Worry not for me. Real though I may appear as you and yours, I am but a part of this moon. A creation of Hydaelyn, entrusted with the memories of an acquaintance long dead, but not forgotten.
'''The Watcher:''' My charge of Zodiark has ended, but so long as the moon exists, I shall not want for purpose.
'''The Watcher:''' I shall remain, ever watching, ever praying for your success.

===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===
'''Y'shtola:''' Our ally's assurances notwithstanding, we cannot be certain what awaits us on the other side, so perhaps it would be best if we did not all go at once. I propose the two of us cross first while Thancred and Urianger wait here.
'''Y'shtola:''' Onward!
'''Y'shtola:''' A malefic aether yet permeates from the crater. Remnants of Zodiark, most like.
'''Y'shtola:''' Just a little further...

'''Y'shtola:''' This structure is enormous...though that is hardly surprising given the size of the average Amaurotine.
'''Thancred:''' Apologies for the wait.
'''Y'shtola:''' Right, then. Let us head inside and...oh?
'''Urianger:''' Most intriguing. A means by which he conserveth energy, mayhap?
'''Thancred:''' Well, I certainly wouldn't want him to blink out of existence on our account, helpful as he's been.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Thank you, Argos. We'll take things from here.
> Stay here where it's safe, all right?

'''Y'shtola:''' If Argos is to remain without, let us not keep him waiting overlong.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' Its scale is reminiscent of Amaurot, or rather, the replica we visited on the First.

'''Urianger:''' Truly a marvel beyond description.

===Speak with Thancred. (Cutscene)===
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Thancred:''' Our “moonship” pilots should be around here somewhere, is that right?

'''???:''' Look lively, everyone!
'''???:''' I know, I know ─ this one thousand two hundred and forty-third inspection is a mite ahead of schedule, but it is of the utmost importance! For Zodiark, alas, is no more.
'''???:''' As of now, our mighty moon has a new purpose! To bear the people of Etheirys to safety!
'''???:''' Our time is come, my friends!
'''???:''' We must be swifter than swift! There is much to do before our guests arrive.
'''???:''' I expect your work stations to be immaculate. And don't forget to relay our signal to Etheirys!
'''???:''' Questions? Yes? No? Maybe so? No? Then hop to it!
'''Urianger:''' 'Tis a rather curious crew She hath chosen. Their endearing forms intended to ease the passengers' hearts, perhaps.
'''Thancred:''' Perhaps...

==Dialogue==
'''The Watcher:''' You must confront those lost souls, yes, but you need not expel them by might of arms...
'''The Watcher:''' A feather-touch, a firm word ─ simple methods may send them away, faint echoes as they are.
'''The Watcher:''' Ware the strength of sentiment that drives them, however. Emotions that do not fade even with the passage of centuries...
'''The Watcher:''' And make haste. Though yet distant, unwelcome guests draw closer...

''Optional dialogue''
'''The Watcher:''' Of the six elemental brands, only those of levin and wind are intact.
'''The Watcher:''' If the other brands are not reforged, Zodiark may yet be freed.
'''The Watcher:''' Find the spirits of the sacrificed, and do what must be done...

===Speak with the faded spirit.===
'''Faded Spirit:''' Where...when... How long...?

===Speak with the dreaming spirit.===
'''Dreaming Spirit:''' Was it truly...so long ago...?

===Speak with the forlorn spirit.===
'''Forlorn Spirit:''' We were happy... At peace with the star.
'''Forlorn Spirit:''' We nurtured it. Helped it grow. With our will, our creations...

===Speak with the somber spirit. (Cutscene)===
'''Somber Spirit:''' We were the star's beating heart. Its life...
'''Somber Spirit:''' Every soul a drop of blood flowing through its veins...
'''Somber Spirit:''' To live. To learn, to create...to make better.
'''Somber Spirit:''' The star flourished...as did we.
'''Somber Spirit:''' Do you remember...?
As the whispers die, the final spirit fades. No shadows of times long lost remain around the Drowning Brand.

An unusually lustrous dog is gazing at you with what seems to be fond anticipation.
It appears to be waiting for you to follow it.

<blockquote>Follow the lustrous dog and try not to fall behind.
The lustrous dog leads the way!</blockquote>

The dog silently regards the spirit that lurks near the brand.

''Optional dialogue''
> Interact with Lustrous Dog.
Perhaps the dog will let you pet it once you have dealt with the lingering spirit.

===Speak with the temperamental spirit.===
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' We and the star were fulfilled...
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' Wanted for naught, mourned for naught...
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' So why... ''Why'' did it have to end!?

''The spirit's resentment takes form and lashes out!''

===Speak with the temperamental spirit. (Cutscene)===
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' The Final Days taught us to fear a death forced upon us.
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' The injustice of duties and dreams left unfulfilled. The grief of unexpected partings...
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' Swift as darkness, cold as ash.
'''Temperamental Spirit:''' Such tragedy, yet no catharsis! Such truth, yet no consolation...
As the whispers die, the spirit fades. All is silent and still around the Numbing Brand.

===Approach the lustrous dog and follow its lead.===
The lustrous dog is once again staring at you expectantly, and who are you to deny it? Follow and try not to fall behind.

The dog silently regards the shadow that lurks near the brand.

''Optional dialogue''
> Interact with the Lustrous Dog.
The dog continues to focus on the shadow, as if to say, “Stop petting me and get on with it, please.”

===Speak with the anguished spirit. (Cutscene)===
'''Anguished Spirit:''' Our perfection came crumbling down. Such overwhelming despair. In that moment, we knew. The end was nigh.
'''Anguished Spirit:''' The faintest glimmer of hope remained. We gave our lives that others may live. We gave ourselves...to Zodiark.
'''Entreating Spirit:''' Zodiark...our lord and savior.
'''Supplicating Spirit:''' To forge our world anew...
'''Lamenting Spirit:''' To live and love again...
'''Dutiful Spirit:''' Become one with the star...
'''Anguished Spirit:''' Fill earth and heaven with life. Birth paradise where fear is distant memory.
'''???:''' Pardon me, but would you be so kind as to step aside?
'''Familiar Spirit:''' Ah. That unmistakable color. The soul of Azem.
'''Familiar Spirit:''' But not the friend I knew, I think. Nevertheless, you are you.
'''Familiar Spirit:''' Hmm... So, Emet-Selch meant for you to have it.
'''Familiar Spirit:''' You seem surprised. Why might that be?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> We meet again, Hythlodaeus.
> You're the receptionist at the Bureau of the Secretariat, correct?

'''''< We meet again, Hythlodaeus. >'''''
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Again? I do not believe I have yet had the pleasure.

'''''< You're the receptionist at the Bureau of the Secretariat, correct? >'''''
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Chief of the Bureau of the Architect, in fact. My name is "Hythlodaeus".
'''Hythlodaeus:''' But how did you come to be familiar with our bureaus?

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch created a shade in my likeness? And not only me, but all of Amaurot?
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Heh heh... How very like him... Heh heh heh...
'''Hythlodaeus:''' A slave to sentiment, even after an eternity.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' As you may have guessed, I am different from the shade you met before. No mere approximation, but the original.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' A soul sacrificed to Zodiark.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' We remember in vivid detail the events leading to our purgatory.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' The plans and plots for our resurrection. Hydaelyn's intervention, and Zodiark's ─ and the star's ─ final fate.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' And then we drifted in a waking dream, our minds steeped in fog...until you came.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' I know not what you and your friends intend for Zodiark or the future of the star. Nevertheless...
'''Hythlodaeus:''' In you I place my trust and faith. In you I choose to believe, as Emet-Selch did.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Believe in yourself, and all will be well.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Hmm, more new arrivals. Though... Ah. Fandaniel. That color I know.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' And another I do not. An unfamiliar but fearsome being...
'''Hythlodaeus:''' I have kept you from your duty. By way of apology, I will ensure that the shades hinder you no more.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Protect the final brand.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Fare you well, my new old friend.

==Steps==
* Activate the teleportation device.
* Speak with the ancient spirit.
* Speak with the ancient spirit again.
* Survey the destination.
* Search [[the Watcher's Palace]] for the source of the voice.

==Journal==
*G'raha Tia is pondering the technological marvel you have just beheld.

*You rouse G'raha Tia from his intense contemplation, and he informs you that the device Fandaniel used to transport himself and Zenos to the moon is of Allagan design. After taking a moment to speculate as to the Ascian's lingering attachment to the life he led as Amon, he sends you on your way with a few words of encouragement.
**※In the event that you leave the Nethergate, you may re-enter by speaking with the Lente's arrow in the Enceladeum.

*Having availed yourself of similar teleportation devices in the past, there is no need to question the safety of this one. Nevertheless, it does come as a bit of a relief when you are painlessly transported to the moon in a rush of aetherial energy.

*No sooner do you arrive on the moon than do you hear a strange, haunting voice call to you. The ally of whom Hydaelyn spoke, or someone else...?

*You approach a tall figure you find wandering nearby, only to be attacked by specters of grief─demonstrating that you could stand to be a little more prudent in your search for a friendly face. However, for lack of a better plan...

*You attempt to prod the ancient spirit again, but it vanishes ere the voice you heard earlier echoes in the distance once more. It now gives more specific instructions, summoning you to “cerulean halls.”

*Though you arrive at the aforementioned cerulean halls, you find your immediate surrounds empty. You can but hope the source of the voice is secreted deeper within.

*You at last locate the source of the voice, who identifies himself as “the watcher,” keeper of Zodiark's seal. He tells you that he has restored one of the brands that keep the god of Darkness imprisoned, but that he cannot tend to the remnants of the other four, beset as they are by the restless spirits of sacrificed ancients that now wander the moon. He assures you that even should you expel them from where they stand, they will not be consigned to oblivion so long as Zodiark remains the moon's captive, and thus requests that you aid him in maintaining that stasis.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Urianger:''' Fear not for Krile. Go forth...and return, I prithee.

'''Y'shtola:''' I'm the last person who should be scolding others for using dangerous teleportation magicks. But if that is indeed how Krile reached us in time, I do wish Hydaelyn had taken a little more care...
'''Y'shtola:''' Regardless, 'tis nothing Urianger and I cannot put right.

'''Krile:''' ...

'''Thancred:''' We're moving out to rendezvous with the remainder of the contingent. Leave everything here to us.

'''Alisaie:''' Stand there for just a moment, please.
'''Alisaie:''' ...A prayer for good luck. Now you can't possibly fail!

'''Alphinaud:''' I have faith in you. Now and always.

'''Estinien:''' We've no time for worrying over what's done. Let's go.

===Accepting the quest===
'''G'raha Tia:''' My apologies ─ I was lost in thought. This device is of Allagan design, which leads me to think I was right about Fandaniel.
'''G'raha Tia:''' No matter what he claims, he still has an attachment to the trappings of his past...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Whether knowing this will make your path forward clearer, I cannot say, but bear it in mind.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But let us turn to the task at hand. As Hydaelyn said, the flow of aether will transport you to Mare Lamentorum.
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must hope this ally of Hers can provide you with the necessary assistance to restore the seal before Zenos and Fandaniel arrive to stop you.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It seems we are ever one step behind, but I have faith that you'll make up the difference.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Know that whatever awaits, our prayers are with you. Now go ─ beyond the sky!

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Spare a glance our way from on high, will you? We shall not waver, knowing that you're counting on us.

===Activate the teleportation device.===
Long, long before Dalamud was forged to imprison an elder primal...
The eldest of them all ─ savior of the star ─ was sealed within a moon of His own.
Souls sacrificed to grant Him life still slumber and dream of the day He and we will be made whole.
Here He waits, in this cold, barren place. His cradle and His grave.
Silent lamentations and prayers of hope echo soundlessly to a sundered star, adrift and alone.

'''Distant Echo:''' You... With me...
'''Distant Echo:''' Hydaelyn's champion...

===Speak with the ancient spirit.===
'''Ancient Spirit:''' I... I...
'''Ancient Spirit:''' Return... I must...return...
'''Ancient Spirit:''' Why... Why... Why!?

''The ancient's grief form and lashes out!''

===Speak with the ancient spirit again. (Cutscene)===
'''Ancient Spirit:''' Home... I want... I need...
'''Distant Echo:''' You mustn't...touch...
'''Distant Echo:''' In cerulean halls...find me...

===Survey the destination.===
No steps echo through this looming spire save your own, but you nevertheless sense a presence above...

===Search the Watcher's Palace for the source of the voice. (Cutscene)===
'''The Watcher:''' Apologies. I have been preoccupied for quite some time, and am...out of practice at conversation...
'''The Watcher:''' Ever since this moon was created by Hydaelyn, I have served as...an integral part. I am the watcher.
'''The Watcher:''' I am responsible for the prisoner and the devices that hold Him fast.
'''The Watcher:''' Zodiark Himself. A projection of the moon's core.
'''The Watcher:''' Though rent asunder by Hydaelyn, He grows more powerful with every Rejoining. Seven there have been. Seven too many...
'''The Watcher:''' And yet, for all His servants' machinations, He remains incomplete. The fallen are beyond salvation.
'''The Watcher:''' No attempt would be made to free Zodiark. Not until He is whole once more.
'''The Watcher:''' But someone has taken action. The shackles that hold Him nearly shattered.
'''The Watcher:''' Six locks to his gaol, great and grand.
'''The Watcher:''' Gargantuan swords driven deep. Brands to bind Zodiark forevermore.
'''The Watcher:''' Five were destroyed by his would-be liberator. One of these I have restored.
'''The Watcher:''' I strive to mend the remaining four, but my efforts are being impeded...
'''The Watcher:''' Souls sacrificed to summon Zodiark, their manifestation consequence of the waning seal.
'''The Watcher:''' They labor in opposition to my work. They must be expelled for the preservation of all.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> If keeping Zodiark imprisoned is the right thing to do, I will aid you.
'''The Watcher:''' What is right and good? Ask a thousand souls and receive a thousand answers. I offer none.
> I will only resort to "expelling" them if all else fails.
'''The Watcher:''' Of that I have no doubt. You are Her chosen.

'''The Watcher:''' I am the watcher and the gaoler. I am not the judge.
'''The Watcher:''' Know this. Hydaelyn commands the forces of stasis, and this moon is the product of such power.
'''The Watcher:''' So long as Zodiark remains imprisoned in this place, no more sacrifices will be made in His name. Nor will those souls rendered up in His name fade into oblivion.
'''The Watcher:''' Go. Meet with these wandering spirits. Do what you think is right.

After taking a moment to speculate as to the Ascian's lingering attachment to the life he led as Amon, he sends you on your way with a few words of encouragement.
**※In the event that you leave the Nethergate, you may re-enter by speaking with the Lente's arrow in the Enceladeum.

*Having availed yourself of similar teleportation devices in the past, there is no need to question the safety of this one. Nevertheless, it does come as a bit of a relief when you are painlessly transported to the moon in a rush of aetherial energy.

*No sooner do you arrive on the moon than do you hear a strange, haunting voice call to you. The ally of whom Hydaelyn spoke, or someone else...?

*You approach a tall figure you find wandering nearby, only to be attacked by specters of grief─demonstrating that you could stand to be a little more prudent in your search for a friendly face. However, for lack of a better plan...

*You attempt to prod the ancient spirit again, but it vanishes ere the voice you heard earlier echoes in the distance once more. It now gives more specific instructions, summoning you to “cerulean halls.”

*Though you arrive at the aforementioned cerulean halls, you find your immediate surrounds empty. You can but hope the source of the voice is secreted deeper within.

*You at last locate the source of the voice, who identifies himself as “the watcher,” keeper of Zodiark's seal. He tells you that he has restored one of the brands that keep the god of Darkness imprisoned, but that he cannot tend to the remnants of the other four, beset as they are by the restless spirits of sacrificed ancients that now wander the moon. He assures you that even should you expel them from where they stand, they will not be consigned to oblivion so long as Zodiark remains the moon's captive, and thus requests that you aid him in maintaining that stasis.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Urianger:''' Fear not for Krile. Go forth...and return, I prithee.

'''Y'shtola:''' I'm the last person who should be scolding others for using dangerous teleportation magicks. But if that is indeed how Krile reached us in time, I do wish Hydaelyn had taken a little more care...
'''Y'shtola:''' Regardless, 'tis nothing Urianger and I cannot put right.

'''Krile:''' ...

'''Thancred:''' We're moving out to rendezvous with the remainder of the contingent. Leave everything here to us.

'''Alisaie:''' Stand there for just a moment, please.
'''Alisaie:''' ...A prayer for good luck. Now you can't possibly fail!

'''Alphinaud:''' I have faith in you. Now and always.

'''Estinien:''' We've no time for worrying over what's done. Let's go.

'''G'raha Tia:''' As I suspected...

===Accepting the quest===
'''G'raha Tia:''' My apologies ─ I was lost in thought. This device is of Allagan design, which leads me to think I was right about Fandaniel.
'''G'raha Tia:''' No matter what he claims, he still has an attachment to the trappings of his past...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Whether knowing this will make your path forward clearer, I cannot say, but bear it in mind.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But let us turn to the task at hand. As Hydaelyn said, the flow of aether will transport you to Mare Lamentorum.
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must hope this ally of Hers can provide you with the necessary assistance to restore the seal before Zenos and Fandaniel arrive to stop you.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It seems we are ever one step behind, but I have faith that you'll make up the difference.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Know that whatever awaits, our prayers are with you. Now go ─ beyond the sky!

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Spare a glance our way from on high, will you? We shall not waver, knowing that you're counting on us.

===Activate the teleportation device.===
Long, long before Dalamud was forged to imprison an elder primal...
The eldest of them all ─ savior of the star ─ was sealed within a moon of His own.
Souls sacrificed to grant Him life still slumber and dream of the day He and we will be made whole.
Here He waits, in this cold, barren place. His cradle and His grave.
Silent lamentations and prayers of hope echo soundlessly to a sundered star, adrift and alone.

'''Distant Echo:''' You... With me...
'''Distant Echo:''' Hydaelyn's champion...

===Speak with the ancient spirit.===
'''Ancient Spirit:''' I... I...
'''Ancient Spirit:''' Return... I must...return...
'''Ancient Spirit:''' Why... Why... Why!?

''The ancient's grief form and lashes out!''

===Speak with the ancient spirit again. (Cutscene)===
'''Ancient Spirit:''' Home... I want... I need...
'''Distant Echo:''' You mustn't...touch...
'''Distant Echo:''' In cerulean halls...find me...

===Survey the destination.===
No steps echo through this looming spire save your own, but you nevertheless sense a presence above...

===Search the Watcher's Palace for the source of the voice. (Cutscene)===
'''The Watcher:''' Apologies. I have been preoccupied for quite some time, and am...out of practice at conversation...
'''The Watcher:''' Ever since this moon was created by Hydaelyn, I have served as...an integral part. I am the watcher.
'''The Watcher:''' I am responsible for the prisoner and the devices that hold Him fast.
'''The Watcher:''' Zodiark Himself. A projection of the moon's core.
'''The Watcher:''' Though rent asunder by Hydaelyn, He grows more powerful with every Rejoining. Seven there have been. Seven too many...
'''The Watcher:''' And yet, for all His servants' machinations, He remains incomplete. The fallen are beyond salvation.
'''The Watcher:''' No attempt would be made to free Zodiark. Not until He is whole once more.
'''The Watcher:''' But someone has taken action. The shackles that hold Him nearly shattered.
'''The Watcher:''' Six locks to his gaol, great and grand.
'''The Watcher:''' Gargantuan swords driven deep. Brands to bind Zodiark forevermore.
'''The Watcher:''' Five were destroyed by his would-be liberator. One of these I have restored.
'''The Watcher:''' I strive to mend the remaining four, but my efforts are being impeded...
'''The Watcher:''' Souls sacrificed to summon Zodiark, their manifestation consequence of the waning seal.
'''The Watcher:''' They labor in opposition to my work. They must be expelled for the preservation of all.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> If keeping Zodiark imprisoned is the right thing to do, I will aid you.
'''The Watcher:''' What is right and good? Ask a thousand souls and receive a thousand answers. I offer none.
> I will only resort to "expelling" them if all else fails.
'''The Watcher:''' Of that I have no doubt. You are Her chosen.

'''The Watcher:''' I am the watcher and the gaoler. I am not the judge.
'''The Watcher:''' Know this. Hydaelyn commands the forces of stasis, and this moon is the product of such power.
'''The Watcher:''' So long as Zodiark remains imprisoned in this place, no more sacrifices will be made in His name. Nor will those souls rendered up in His name fade into oblivion.
'''The Watcher:''' Go. Meet with these wandering spirits. Do what you think is right.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Lyse]].
*Speak with [[Pipin]].
*Wait at the destination inside the station.
*Enter [[the Tower of Babil]].
*Clear [[the Tower of Babil]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Now that you've recovered, Lucia would have a word with you.

*As you recount what befell you whilst Zenos was occupying your body, it becomes clear to those present that both the primal Anima and the Telophoroi are based in the Tower of Babil─as suspected─so it is there that you must go to confront them. Fortunately, contingent scouts have identified a viable route of ingress, and Lucia has a plan of attack already prepared. While others create a diversion above ground, you are to slip into the tower via an underground tunnel alongside the Scions and some few allies.

*Your meeting with Lyse and company at Forum Patens to review your roles in the coming operation proceeds smoothly, with no more than the usual amount of bickering amongst the Azim Steppe delegation. So as not to attract attention, the group will need to travel separately until you reach the Enceladeum, where the entrance to the tunnel can be found.

*Pipin greets you at the Enceladeum, unaware of the details of your possession but nevertheless pleased to see you recovered enough to take part in the battle to come. He directs you to the representative from Lente's Tears who will serve as your guide to the underground station, promising to send your other comrades along when they arrive.

*You enter the underground station, where you are soon joined by your remaining comrades. A ruckus can be heard from above ground─your cue to board the train and infiltrate the Tower of Babil.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*Fighting past tempered soldiers and all manner of monstrosities, you succeed in breaching the top of the tower, where you come face-to-face with the terrifying primal known as Anima. Demonstrating your might is more fearsome than any would-be god of empire, you succeed in putting the soul of His Radiance, Varis zos Galvus, to rest at last. Now nothing stands between you and the long-awaited confrontation with the Telophoroi's commanders.

*Though you catch Zenos and Fandaniel in the act, they have already harnessed much of the tower's aether and nearly succeeded in freeing Zodiark from His imprisonment. Suddenly, Krile appears, her body acting as a conduit for Hydaelyn, who is able to preserve the remaining shackles that bind Her ancient foe. For a moment, it appears that Fandaniel's plan has failed when the last of the tower's aether is exhausted, but he quickly changes tack and teleports himself and Zenos to the moon, that they might destroy the protective barrier in person. As a parting gift, they reveal that Anima, as its final act, issued an order to the tempered throughout Garlemald to fight unto their dying breath, and this diversion is enough to allow the Telophoroi to utilize their gate and make their escape. For a mercy, Hydaelyn manages to divert their aether current far from their destination, giving you a chance to travel to the moon yourself and forestall Zodiark's release.

*Alphinaud and the other Scions vow to prevent the situation in Garlemald from escalating and spare the tempered a terrible fate. Meanwhile, you alone must pursue the Telophoroi to the moon, and stop them ere it is too late.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Thancred:''' ...I suppose your experience was a bit different, though. Unlike you, I had the pleasure of being stuck with Lahabrea while he went gallivanting about doing a poor impression of me. It adds another layer to the insult, believe you me.

'''Y'shtola:''' Hm, yes...'tis still you...
'''Y'shtola:''' My apologies─I realized too late that the aether emanating from the tower was distorting my perception. 'Twas likely a temporary effect, but I remain wary.

'''Alisaie:''' So, how shall we strike them down?

'''Alphinaud:''' I realize that my sister is...eager to proceed, but please be sure that you've fully recovered before you throw caution to the wind.

'''Urianger:''' Full glad am I to see thee awake and restored to thine own flesh once more.

'''Estinien:''' Whatever that was, let's not do it again, eh?

'''G'raha Tia:''' Thank heavens you're you again. Gave me quite a fright.

'''Maxima:''' The body that you were forced to inhabit turned cold and stiff the moment you were returned to your own. Perhaps the soul it belonged to is long gone...
'''Maxima:''' Let us pray it is so, for I doubt it would be better off in the care of Zenos or Fandaniel.

===Accepting the quest (Cutscene)===
'''Lucia:''' Are you well enough to make your report?

''WOL apprises everyone of the previous events with Zenos and Fandaniel.''
'''Lucia:''' This “Anima” was summoned with the corpse of Emperor Varis? Does their depravity know no bounds?
'''Y'shtola:''' It seems not. More to the point, we can surmise that wave of aether issued not from the Tower of Babil, but from the primal lurking within it...
'''Y'shtola:''' A primal whose cry rang rather more loudly in your ears than ours.
'''Y'shtola:''' If you were taken to the tower itself, then this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is the beating heart of the Telophoroi's machinations.
'''Lucia:''' In which case, we have some highly relevant information.
'''Lucia:''' As many of you know, ever since we dispatched troops to free the Leveilleurs, we've been developing a plan to infiltrate the tower.
'''Lucia:''' According to Thancred and his scouts, the main structure is lousy with tempered and enemy magitek.
'''Lucia:''' Furthermore, the road leading to it has collapsed, making it difficult to approach in numbers.
'''Maxima:''' Thus do we propose dividing our forces into two parties ─ one to distract, and one to infiltrate.
'''Maxima:''' The diversionary force will be comprised of the Ishgardian, Gridanian, and Lominsan delegations.
'''Maxima:''' They will begin the construction of bridges, to make the Telophoroi believe we are marching upon the tower.
'''Maxima:''' Meanwhile, the best suited of our Ala Mhigan, Ul'dahn, and Eastern comrades will use a different method of ingress.
'''Thancred:''' Look here.
[[File:EW-GatewayoftheGods-map.jpg|450px]]
'''Thancred:''' The facility marked in red is the Enceladeum, a vast magitek manufactory. In ruins now, of course.
'''Thancred:''' But the freight tunnel connecting it to the erstwhile imperial palace remains intact.
'''Thancred:''' While the Telophoroi's attention is elsewhere, our infiltration force can use it to enter the tower undetected.
'''Thancred:''' Be aware, however, that the underground rail network remains very much operational.
'''Thancred:''' The tempered are using it to bring supplies to the tower even now.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...If it can carry their materiel, it can carry us too, providing we sneak aboard unseen.
'''Lucia:''' The Scions will lead the infiltration party. Once inside, you must locate and dispatch Fandaniel and Zenos.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> We will save the people of Garlemald - and those who suffer the world over.
'''Alphinaud:''' Aye. Jullus and so many others have lost much to the Telophoroi. We shall ensure they lose no more.
> I'll have my vengeance yet.
'''Alisaie:''' We'll get our fill ─ you and me both.
> It's time we ended this, once and for all.
'''Alphinaud:''' Aye. There will be no more casualties of the Telophoroi's maniacal ambition

'''Y'shtola:''' How quickly can we enact this plan?
'''Y'shtola:''' Fandaniel made it quite clear that haste is a priority.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Of paramount concern, even, assuming he didn't name the tower “Babil” on a whim.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In Amon's time, it meant “gateway of the gods.” Xande used it to refer to a voidgate, but in this case, it almost certainly alludes to something altogether greater...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...The eldest and most powerful of primals.
'''Lucia:''' All the more reason to act now. The rest of the contingent is aware of the plan, and are ready to move at a moment's notice.
'''Lucia:''' You are to proceed north to Forum Patens. Lyse's group will meet you there.
'''Y'shtola:''' As ever, we are grateful for your foresight.
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the moment we've been waiting for. Spare no effort in your preparations.

====Optional Dialogue, around Camp Broken Glass====
''(Note, this dialog section is incomplete, as some NPCs require that WoL has completed their Job Quest lines, for WoL to be able to talk to them.)

'''Lucia:''' Lyse's party ought to have secured the tunnel by now. Rendezvous with them and make your way inside.
'''Lucia:''' May the Fury guide you...and us all.

'''Maxima:''' Those not taking part in the assault will defend this camp and the airships, as well as safeguard your escape route from the tower.
'''Maxima:''' You need not worry about what comes after ─ so fight with all you have.

''(Only interactive if WoL completed Dragoon Job Quests)''
'''Alberic:''' The time is upon us. Neither you nor Estinien will break under the coming onslaught, of that I am sure. I too vow not to bend, to see us to victory. By my lance, I do swear.

'''Sicard:''' All right, you lot! When we get the signal, we'll make the loudest racket Garlemald's ever heard!

'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' The time has come for me to head to the front line.
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' You see, with so many healers needed to treat the tempered, our allies want for support on the battlefield. That's where I come in.

''(Only interactive if WoL completed Warrior Job Quests)''
'''Broenbhar:''' Me an' the others'll cause enough ruckus to wake the dead, so you lot should have an easy time sneakin' in.

'''Hawisia:''' Though I wish we could share ''all'' of our provisions with the refugees, we have to plan ahead. We'll be in no position to help anyone if we starve to death.

'''Emmanellain:''' Ah, you've finally come around! From what I gather, you'd been through rather a lot, what with your sudden disappearance. Then, even when you did return, there was some sort of fracas, it seems. Someone did explain it to me, but I must admit, I found the whole account positively mind-boggling.
'''Emmanellain:''' And once again, your timing is impeccable. Why, you've recovered just in time to join the foray into the enemy stronghold. I do hope you're feeling up to it!

'''June:''' Many of the Garlean refugees are refusing to be treated with magic. While I can sympathize with that to a degree, there is a limit to what we can do with basic medicines and bandages. At this rate, there'll be none left.

'''Iliette:''' The imperial refugees look like they've seen better days. Hardly surprising considering they've been living on scraps for gods know how long.

'''Berthellemy:''' Pray return to us victorious and with deeds that will make all of us proud.

====Optional Dialogue, at Forum Patens (where next quest step is)====
'''Magnai:''' The Sun does not ''sneak''. ...However, he will travel this path of yours, and those who walk with him will bask in his radiance.

'''Sadu:''' <sneeze> Damn these frigid lands. <snort>

'''Cirina:''' I am to accompany you into the tower. It is an honor, as ever!

===Speak with Lyse. (Cutscene)===
'''Lyse:''' [Forename]! The way into the tunnel is clear. We've made sure of it.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I wish you'd made sure to bring a coat instead.
'''Lyse:''' Oh, I'll warm up when I throw a punch or two.
> Then we'd best get in there before we freeze. Especially you.
'''Lyse:''' Oh, the shoe will be on the other foot once we're in, believe you me. A good fight should warm us right up!

'''Magnai:''' Hmph. Barely enough cloth to swaddle a newborn. Clearly, you have spent too long around this feral dog of a Dotharl.
'''Sadu:''' Watch your tongue, fool, lest I feed it to the crows!
'''Magnai:''' We will see who is the fool when you freeze to death. Expect me not to warm your ill-prepared hide ─ these furs are for myself and my Nhaama alone, should I be blessed to meet her this day.
'''Sadu:''' As if any woman of worth would wish to be warmed by you, “little sun.” Should we find such a warrior within, she will bask in ''my'' glorious flame.
'''Cirina:''' Stop, both of you! Save your fire for the enemy. As for extra furs, I have plenty to spare!
'''Y'shtola:''' As do we.
'''Lyse:''' Hello, everyone! All set for battle, I see.
'''Y'shtola:''' Yes, free of unnecessary encumbrances, if rather more susceptible to the cold. Let us review our strategy ─ quickly, if you don't mind.
'''Lyse:''' Pipin's group has gone ahead to the Enceladeum. We are to meet them there.
'''Lyse:''' We wait until the tempered's attention is drawn by our diversionary force, then we sneak onto the train. Next stop: the Tower of Babil!
'''Cirina:''' If any ─ tempered included ─ are injured, we Xaela will tend to them.
'''Cirina:''' You Scions must press on, no matter what.
'''Thancred:''' We should avoid moving as a group until we're underground, so we'll need to make our own ways to the Enceladeum. See you there.

====Optional Dialogue, at Forum Patens====
'''Magnai:''' A “glorious flame”...? Nay, I would have seen it, were it so...

'''Sadu:''' I crave battle, not this insipid chatter.

'''Lyse:''' Just head north, and you'll reach the Enceladeum soon enough!

'''Cirina:''' The Scions are welcome to our spare furs as well! Erm, you might mention that to Urianger...

'''Thancred:''' ...I think it's time I was off. If I look at Urianger for one more moment I'm liable to freeze solid.

'''Y'shtola:''' Fear not ─ no serious wounds have gone untreated. Nor will I stand for being left behind while the rest of you rush headlong into danger, so you needn't bother suggesting it.

'''Urianger:''' C-C-Cold? N-N-Nay, I feel nary a thing... Nary a thing...

'''Estinien:''' When I infiltrated the palace with Gaius, we took an entirely different route. Since then, the whole place has been reconstructed, and 'twould appear that path is no longer accessible.

'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And you're one hundred percent certain you're fit to fight? No odd specters haunting your wake? Nothing feels...tingly?

'''Alphinaud:''' We'll stagger our departures so as not to raise suspicion. You go on ahead.

'''Alisaie:''' Who could possibly be cold at a time like this? My heart is pounding with anticipation!

====Optional Dialogue, at The Enceladeum====

''(This dialog is only available if WoL has completed Thaumaturge / Black Mage Job Quests)''
'''Cocobuki:''' Now that the tempered ones are aware of our plan, they will doubtless start pouring in at any moment. Hm hm hm...
'''Cocobuki:''' But needn't worry ─ my brothers and I will see that none shall pass. Go forth and wreak your destruction!

'''Lente's Arrow:''' Apologies, but we need a moment more to finish our sweep of the station. Wouldn't want to leave anything to chance.

===Speak with Pipin.===
'''Pipin:''' Hail! It's good to see you, [Forename].
'''Pipin:''' We heard that you collapsed, but were given only the most cursory explanation. I'm glad you've recovered ─ and quickly enough to take part in the operation, at that.
'''Pipin:''' As you will have heard, we've secured the way in. Some few are to remain behind to keep your escape route clear.
'''Pipin:''' Our comrade from Lente's Tears will lead the way into the station. I'll join you soon.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Pipin:''' I will send the others to meet you in the station below.

'''Lente's Arrow:''' The station is right this way. Tread lightly, now.

===Wait at the destination inside the station. (Cutscene)===
'''Pipin:''' This is everyone.
'''Cirina:''' Consider the enemy well and truly distracted!
'''Pipin:''' Time to go.
'''Alphinaud:''' Our primary objective is, of course, the Telophoroi's leaders.
'''Alphinaud:''' But should we be presented with an opportunity to vanquish Anima, we must seize it.
'''Alphinaud:''' If it is indeed the force behind the towers, destroying it will deliver our allies from the Telophoroi's reign of terror.
'''Alphinaud:''' And I, for one, would not see the Garlean people manipulated any longer, be it by primal, Ascian, or anything else.
'''Lyse:''' Hear, hear. There's been enough of that.
'''Lyse:''' We came to help the people of Garlemald, and that's what we're going to do. Together!
'''Alphinaud:''' Till the very end.
'''Pipin:''' The train should be along any moment now. Prepare to board, everyone!

<blockquote>The Tower of Babil now accessible.</blockquote>

''Optional dialogue''
'''Sadu:''' Aye, aye, kill no man. I have not forgotten your instruction. I must settle for crushing the ironmen's toys. Their blue blood will feed my flames!

'''Magnai:''' Your comrades tell me that the Telophoroi abducted you on the selfsame eve they so rudely interrupted our meal. A brazen feat that would make a Buduga proud.
'''Magnai:''' But even had it not ended poorly, it was a disappointment in many respects. I have decided that when we return triumphant, the Oronir will hold a far grander feast on the Azim Steppe. You have permission to attend.

'''Lyse:''' It's likely that Anima, at least, will notice when we enter the tower. There's no point in trying to stay hidden after that.
'''Lyse:''' So when the time comes, I say don't overthink it, and cut a path straight through!

'''Cirina:''' Strange. Though this will be a more fearsome fight than any Naadam, I feel at peace...
'''Cirina:''' Maybe it is because I have Sadu, Magnai, and you at my side.
'''Cirina:''' Maybe it is because we fight for all Xaela, and more peoples besides. There is but one path ─ that which leads to victory!

'''Pipin:''' The train we're boarding is meant to carry supplies and armaments and the like.
'''Pipin:''' With any luck, we can slip past the tempered as they go about loading the freight.

'''Thancred:''' We were only able to ascertain that the tunnel connects to the tower. I fear I have little to offer as to the details of the interior or present situation therein.
'''Thancred:''' If Fandaniel is to be believed, we don't have the luxury of time to scout ahead, so we'll have to trust in your instincts. They've served us well enough thus far.

'''Urianger:''' 'Tis no meager delight to watch Alisaie and Alphinaud grow more resolute in mind and heart.
'''Urianger:''' And remarkable though their accomplishments may be, I doubt not that they are destined for still greater things.
'''Urianger:''' Grant them thy protection, Master Louisoix. I implore thee...

'''G'raha Tia:''' If Fandaniel truly is Amon, to create a gate through which a primal may pass will not be beyond him.
'''G'raha Tia:''' From what I gather, he was utterly brilliant ─ and utterly mad.

'''Y'shtola:''' Assuming Fandaniel intends to make Zodiark serve as a catalyst for the Final Days...
'''Y'shtola:''' One cannot but wonder if he willingly parted ways with the other Ascians long ago.
'''Y'shtola:''' Surely they would not have permitted the very god they created to forestall the world's end to be used in such a way.

'''Estinien:''' When Zenos murdered Varis, Gaius was upon him in an instant. Seldom have I seen such fury.
'''Estinien:''' I won't pretend to know the bond they shared, but pain, fear, rage...I know them well. I know what can drive a man to drown in them.
'''Estinien:''' Though his homeland may have wished for his blade, my lance will roar in its stead.

'''Alphinaud:''' I'm only too aware that our intervention may not be what many of Garlemald's people want or need right now.
'''Alphinaud:''' Not every tragedy can be laid at the feet of the Telophoroi. Certainly not that of Licinia and her sister.
'''Alphinaud:''' Nevertheless, we must follow our conscience, and mine has led me here.

'''Alisaie:''' Much as I'd like to be the one to wipe the grin off Fandaniel's smug little face, I haven't lost sight of why we're here.
'''Alisaie:''' Our ultimate goal is to prevent the Telophoroi from doing any further harm, no matter how.
'''Alisaie:''' But if I ''do'' get the chance to introduce my fist to his jaw ─ and gods, do I hope I do ─ I won't turn it down!

'''After Tower of Babil duty.'''
'''Alphinaud:''' Farewell, Varis. May the gods have mercy on your soul.
'''Alphinaud:''' Come. The other two await.

'''Alisaie:''' This madness ends here!
'''Fandaniel:''' Oh hush. This is the best part...
'''Estinien:''' Enough!
'''Fandaniel:''' O mighty Zodiark, awaken from your slumber and descend!
'''Urianger:''' Some manner of magical defense!?
''Krile slowly walks in.''
'''Hydaelyn:''' The shackles that bind my adversary will not be so easily broken!
'''Fandaniel:''' Hydaelyn... Feeble relic of a forgotten age...
'''Fandaniel:''' Hark! Victory...is mine!
[[File:EW-GatewayoftheGods-mare.jpg|450px]]
'''Fandaniel:''' No more aether... And I was so close!
'''Fandaniel:''' My lord, a slight change of plans. We shall travel to the moon and break this wretched barrier ourselves!
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Whatever it takes.
'''G'raha Tia:''' What was that!?
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The final order issued by Anima to the tempered thralls.
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' “Should the Empire fall, the world must share her fate.”
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Of course, Father lacked the conviction to give such a command. The abomination born of his flesh was but a puppet ─ and I the puppeteer.
'''Alisaie:''' You madman! You monster!
'''Fandaniel:''' There's a funny joy in watching your flailing attempts to fight the inevitable. You're all going to die and are powerless to prevent it.
'''Fandaniel:''' We really must be on our way. You're welcome to give chase, provided you are content to leave comrade and tempered alike to die screaming.
'''Hydaelyn:''' I have asked too much of this child. Tend to her.
'''Hydaelyn:''' The last brand at Mare Lamentorum is yet unbroken. Zodiark remains bound.
'''Hydaelyn:''' I have shifted the flow of aether and sent the enemy far from their destination.
'''Hydaelyn:''' Now, I shall divert it once more. An ally awaits, and I will deliver you unto him.
'''Hydaelyn:''' Seek his aid. Restore the seal. Zodiark must not be set free...
'''Thancred:''' The tempered are running wild. Not only those at the tower, but those back at the camp.
'''Thancred:''' The others are doing their best to contain them, but the situation is growing beyond our control.
'''Alisaie:''' Leave them to die, or give up the chase. Just like Fandaniel said...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I'm the one Zenos wants.
> Only I can bring an end to this.
> Garlemald's fate is in your hands.

'''Alphinaud:''' You're...you're going alone!?
'''Alphinaud:''' You have our trust and our faith. I pray we have yours.
'''Alphinaud:''' Our friends and the tempered need our help. We will save as many as we can ─ I swear!
'''Thancred:''' Once we have matters well in hand, we will join you on the moon. Until then, be careful. There's no telling what you'll find.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' Fear not for Krile. Go forth...and return, I prithee.

'''Y'shtola:''' She channeled a dangerous amount of aether. And that's to say nothing of the teleportation magick she must have used to get here.
'''Y'shtola:''' Yet Krile and Hydaelyn both were clearly willing to take the risk. Hmm.

'''Krile:''' ...

'''Thancred:''' We're moving out to rendezvous with the remainder of the contingent. Leave everything here to us.

'''Alisaie:''' Stand there for just a moment, please.
'''Alisaie:''' ...A prayer for good luck. Now you can't possibly fail!

'''Estinien:''' We've no time for worrying over what's done. Let's go.

'''G'raha Tia:''' As I suspected...

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' If all of the tempered are affected, Jullus and his comrades likely put up quite the struggle.
'''Alphinaud:''' We'll find a way to save them ─ we must. I only pray we are not too late.
'''Alphinaud:''' In the meantime...may the Twelve carry you to victory.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Alphinaud:''' I have faith in you. Now and always.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Lyse]].
*Speak with [[Pipin]].
*Wait at the destination inside the station.
*Enter [[the Tower of Babil]].
*Clear [[the Tower of Babil]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Now that you've recovered, Lucia would have a word with you.

*As you recount what befell you whilst Zenos was occupying your body, it becomes clear to those present that both the primal Anima and the Telophoroi are based in the Tower of Babil─as suspected─so it is there that you must go to confront them. Fortunately, contingent scouts have identified a viable route of ingress, and Lucia has a plan of attack already prepared. While others create a diversion above ground, you are to slip into the tower via an underground tunnel alongside the Scions and some few allies.

*Your meeting with Lyse and company at Forum Patens to review your roles in the coming operation proceeds smoothly, with no more than the usual amount of bickering amongst the Azim Steppe delegation. So as not to attract attention, the group will need to travel separately until you reach the Enceladeum, where the entrance to the tunnel can be found.

*Pipin greets you at the Enceladeum, unaware of the details of your possession but nevertheless pleased to see you recovered enough to take part in the battle to come. He directs you to the representative from Lente's Tears who will serve as your guide to the underground station, promising to send your other comrades along when they arrive.

*You enter the underground station, where you are soon joined by your remaining comrades. A ruckus can be heard from above ground─your cue to board the train and infiltrate the Tower of Babil.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*Fighting past tempered soldiers and all manner of monstrosities, you succeed in breaching the top of the tower, where you come face-to-face with the terrifying primal known as Anima. Demonstrating your might is more fearsome than any would-be god of empire, you succeed in putting the soul of His Radiance, Varis zos Galvus, to rest at last. Now nothing stands between you and the long-awaited confrontation with the Telophoroi's commanders.

*Though you catch Zenos and Fandaniel in the act, they have already harnessed much of the tower's aether and nearly succeeded in freeing Zodiark from His imprisonment. Suddenly, Krile appears, her body acting as a conduit for Hydaelyn, who is able to preserve the remaining shackles that bind Her ancient foe. For a moment, it appears that Fandaniel's plan has failed when the last of the tower's aether is exhausted, but he quickly changes tack and teleports himself and Zenos to the moon, that they might destroy the protective barrier in person. As a parting gift, they reveal that Anima, as its final act, issued an order to the tempered throughout Garlemald to fight unto their dying breath, and this diversion is enough to allow the Telophoroi to utilize their gate and make their escape. For a mercy, Hydaelyn manages to divert their aether current far from their destination, giving you a chance to travel to the moon yourself and forestall Zodiark's release.

*Alphinaud and the other Scions vow to prevent the situation in Garlemald from escalating and spare the tempered a terrible fate. Meanwhile, you alone must pursue the Telophoroi to the moon, and stop them ere it is too late.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Thancred:''' ...I suppose your experience was a bit different, though. Unlike you, I had the pleasure of being stuck with Lahabrea while he went gallivanting about doing a poor impression of me. It adds another layer to the insult, believe you me.

'''Y'shtola:''' Hm, yes...'tis still you...
'''Y'shtola:''' My apologies─I realized too late that the aether emanating from the tower was distorting my perception. 'Twas likely a temporary effect, but I remain wary.

'''Alisaie:''' So, how shall we strike them down?

'''Alphinaud:''' I realize that my sister is...eager to proceed, but please be sure that you've fully recovered before you throw caution to the wind.

'''Urianger:''' Full glad am I to see thee awake and restored to thine own flesh once more.

'''Estinien:''' Whatever that was, let's not do it again, eh?

'''G'raha Tia:''' Thank heavens you're you again. Gave me quite a fright.

'''Maxima:''' The body that you were forced to inhabit turned cold and stiff the moment you were returned to your own. Perhaps the soul it belonged to is long gone...
'''Maxima:''' Let us pray it is so, for I doubt it would be better off in the care of Zenos or Fandaniel.

===Accepting the quest (Cutscene)===
'''Lucia:''' Are you well enough to make your report?

''WOL apprises everyone of the previous events with Zenos and Fandaniel.''
'''Lucia:''' This “Anima” was summoned with the corpse of Emperor Varis? Does their depravity know no bounds?
'''Y'shtola:''' It seems not. More to the point, we can surmise that wave of aether issued not from the Tower of Babil, but from the primal lurking within it...
'''Y'shtola:''' A primal whose cry rang rather more loudly in your ears than ours.
'''Y'shtola:''' If you were taken to the tower itself, then this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is the beating heart of the Telophoroi's machinations.
'''Lucia:''' In which case, we have some highly relevant information.
'''Lucia:''' As many of you know, ever since we dispatched troops to free the Leveilleurs, we've been developing a plan to infiltrate the tower.
'''Lucia:''' According to Thancred and his scouts, the main structure is lousy with tempered and enemy magitek.
'''Lucia:''' Furthermore, the road leading to it has collapsed, making it difficult to approach in numbers.
'''Maxima:''' Thus do we propose dividing our forces into two parties ─ one to distract, and one to infiltrate.
'''Maxima:''' The diversionary force will be comprised of the Ishgardian, Gridanian, and Lominsan delegations.
'''Maxima:''' They will begin the construction of bridges, to make the Telophoroi believe we are marching upon the tower.
'''Maxima:''' Meanwhile, the best suited of our Ala Mhigan, Ul'dahn, and Eastern comrades will use a different method of ingress.
'''Thancred:''' Look here.
[[File:EW-GatewayoftheGods-map.jpg|450px]]
'''Thancred:''' The facility marked in red is the Enceladeum, a vast magitek manufactory. In ruins now, of course.
'''Thancred:''' But the freight tunnel connecting it to the erstwhile imperial palace remains intact.
'''Thancred:''' While the Telophoroi's attention is elsewhere, our infiltration force can use it to enter the tower undetected.
'''Thancred:''' Be aware, however, that the underground rail network remains very much operational.
'''Thancred:''' The tempered are using it to bring supplies to the tower even now.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...If it can carry their materiel, it can carry us too, providing we sneak aboard unseen.
'''Lucia:''' The Scions will lead the infiltration party. Once inside, you must locate and dispatch Fandaniel and Zenos.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> We will save the people of Garlemald - and those who suffer the world over.
'''Alphinaud:''' Aye. Jullus and so many others have lost much to the Telophoroi. We shall ensure they lose no more.
> I'll have my vengeance yet.
'''Alisaie:''' We'll get our fill ─ you and me both.
> It's time we ended this, once and for all.
'''Alphinaud:''' Aye. There will be no more casualties of the Telophoroi's maniacal ambition

'''Y'shtola:''' How quickly can we enact this plan?
'''Y'shtola:''' Fandaniel made it quite clear that haste is a priority.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Of paramount concern, even, assuming he didn't name the tower “Babil” on a whim.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In Amon's time, it meant “gateway of the gods.” Xande used it to refer to a voidgate, but in this case, it almost certainly alludes to something altogether greater...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...The eldest and most powerful of primals.
'''Lucia:''' All the more reason to act now. The rest of the contingent is aware of the plan, and are ready to move at a moment's notice.
'''Lucia:''' You are to proceed north to Forum Patens. Lyse's group will meet you there.
'''Y'shtola:''' As ever, we are grateful for your foresight.
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the moment we've been waiting for. Spare no effort in your preparations.

====Optional Dialogue, around Camp Broken Glass====
''(Note, this dialog section is incomplete, as some NPCs require that WoL has completed their Job Quest lines, for WoL to be able to talk to them.)

'''Lucia:''' Lyse's party ought to have secured the tunnel by now. Rendezvous with them and make your way inside.
'''Lucia:''' May the Fury guide you...and us all.

'''Maxima:''' Those not taking part in the assault will defend this camp and the airships, as well as safeguard your escape route from the tower.
'''Maxima:''' You need not worry about what comes after ─ so fight with all you have.

''(Only interactive if WoL completed Dragoon Job Quests)''
'''Alberic:''' The time is upon us. Neither you nor Estinien will break under the coming onslaught, of that I am sure. I too vow not to bend, to see us to victory. By my lance, I do swear.

'''Sicard:''' All right, you lot! When we get the signal, we'll make the loudest racket Garlemald's ever heard!

'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' The time has come for me to head to the front line.
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' You see, with so many healers needed to treat the tempered, our allies want for support on the battlefield. That's where I come in.

''(Only interactive if WoL completed Warrior Job Quests)''
'''Broenbhar:''' Me an' the others'll cause enough ruckus to wake the dead, so you lot should have an easy time sneakin' in.

'''Hawisia:''' Though I wish we could share ''all'' of our provisions with the refugees, we have to plan ahead. We'll be in no position to help anyone if we starve to death.

'''Emmanellain:''' Ah, you've finally come around! From what I gather, you'd been through rather a lot, what with your sudden disappearance. Then, even when you did return, there was some sort of fracas, it seems. Someone did explain it to me, but I must admit, I found the whole account positively mind-boggling.
'''Emmanellain:''' And once again, your timing is impeccable. Why, you've recovered just in time to join the foray into the enemy stronghold. I do hope you're feeling up to it!

'''June:''' Many of the Garlean refugees are refusing to be treated with magic. While I can sympathize with that to a degree, there is a limit to what we can do with basic medicines and bandages. At this rate, there'll be none left.

'''Iliette:''' The imperial refugees look like they've seen better days. Hardly surprising considering they've been living on scraps for gods know how long.

'''Berthellemy:''' Pray return to us victorious and with deeds that will make all of us proud.

====Optional Dialogue, at Forum Patens (where next quest step is)====
'''Magnai:''' The Sun does not ''sneak''. ...However, he will travel this path of yours, and those who walk with him will bask in his radiance.

'''Sadu:''' <sneeze> Damn these frigid lands. <snort>

'''Cirina:''' I am to accompany you into the tower. It is an honor, as ever!

===Speak with Lyse. (Cutscene)===
'''Lyse:''' [Forename]! The way into the tunnel is clear. We've made sure of it.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I wish you'd made sure to bring a coat instead.
'''Lyse:''' Oh, I'll warm up when I throw a punch or two.
> Then we'd best get in there before we freeze. Especially you.
'''Lyse:''' Oh, the shoe will be on the other foot once we're in, believe you me. A good fight should warm us right up!

'''Magnai:''' Hmph. Barely enough cloth to swaddle a newborn. Clearly, you have spent too long around this feral dog of a Dotharl.
'''Sadu:''' Watch your tongue, fool, lest I feed it to the crows!
'''Magnai:''' We will see who is the fool when you freeze to death. Expect me not to warm your ill-prepared hide ─ these furs are for myself and my Nhaama alone, should I be blessed to meet her this day.
'''Sadu:''' As if any woman of worth would wish to be warmed by you, “little sun.” Should we find such a warrior within, she will bask in ''my'' glorious flame.
'''Cirina:''' Stop, both of you! Save your fire for the enemy. As for extra furs, I have plenty to spare!
'''Y'shtola:''' As do we.
'''Lyse:''' Hello, everyone! All set for battle, I see.
'''Y'shtola:''' Yes, free of unnecessary encumbrances, if rather more susceptible to the cold. Let us review our strategy ─ quickly, if you don't mind.
'''Lyse:''' Pipin's group has gone ahead to the Enceladeum. We are to meet them there.
'''Lyse:''' We wait until the tempered's attention is drawn by our diversionary force, then we sneak onto the train. Next stop: the Tower of Babil!
'''Cirina:''' If any ─ tempered included ─ are injured, we Xaela will tend to them.
'''Cirina:''' You Scions must press on, no matter what.
'''Thancred:''' We should avoid moving as a group until we're underground, so we'll need to make our own ways to the Enceladeum. See you there.

====Optional Dialogue, at Forum Patens====
'''Magnai:''' A “glorious flame”...? Nay, I would have seen it, were it so...

'''Sadu:''' I crave battle, not this insipid chatter.

'''Lyse:''' Just head north, and you'll reach the Enceladeum soon enough!

'''Cirina:''' The Scions are welcome to our spare furs as well! Erm, you might mention that to Urianger...

'''Thancred:''' ...I think it's time I was off. If I look at Urianger for one more moment I'm liable to freeze solid.

'''Y'shtola:''' Fear not ─ no serious wounds have gone untreated. Nor will I stand for being left behind while the rest of you rush headlong into danger, so you needn't bother suggesting it.

'''Urianger:''' C-C-Cold? N-N-Nay, I feel nary a thing... Nary a thing...

'''Estinien:''' When I infiltrated the palace with Gaius, we took an entirely different route. Since then, the whole place has been reconstructed, and 'twould appear that path is no longer accessible.

'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And you're one hundred percent certain you're fit to fight? No odd specters haunting your wake? Nothing feels...tingly?

'''Alphinaud:''' We'll stagger our departures so as not to raise suspicion. You go on ahead.

'''Alisaie:''' Who could possibly be cold at a time like this? My heart is pounding with anticipation!

====Optional Dialogue, at The Enceladeum====

''(This dialog is only available if WoL has completed Thaumaturge / Black Mage Job Quests)''
'''Cocobuki:''' Now that the tempered ones are aware of our plan, they will doubtless start pouring in at any moment. Hm hm hm...
'''Cocobuki:''' But needn't worry ─ my brothers and I will see that none shall pass. Go forth and wreak your destruction!

'''Lente's Arrow:''' Apologies, but we need a moment more to finish our sweep of the station. Wouldn't want to leave anything to chance.

===Speak with Pipin.===
'''Pipin:''' Hail! It's good to see you, [Forename].
'''Pipin:''' We heard that you collapsed, but were given only the most cursory explanation. I'm glad you've recovered ─ and quickly enough to take part in the operation, at that.
'''Pipin:''' As you will have heard, we've secured the way in. Some few are to remain behind to keep your escape route clear.
'''Pipin:''' Our comrade from Lente's Tears will lead the way into the station. I'll join you soon.

'''Lente's Arrow:''' The station is right this way. Tread lightly, now.

===Wait at the destination inside the station. (Cutscene)===
'''Pipin:''' This is everyone.
'''Cirina:''' Consider the enemy well and truly distracted!
'''Pipin:''' Time to go.
'''Alphinaud:''' Our primary objective is, of course, the Telophoroi's leaders.
'''Alphinaud:''' But should we be presented with an opportunity to vanquish Anima, we must seize it.
'''Alphinaud:''' If it is indeed the force behind the towers, destroying it will deliver our allies from the Telophoroi's reign of terror.
'''Alphinaud:''' And I, for one, would not see the Garlean people manipulated any longer, be it by primal, Ascian, or anything else.
'''Lyse:''' Hear, hear. There's been enough of that.
'''Lyse:''' We came to help the people of Garlemald, and that's what we're going to do. Together!
'''Alphinaud:''' Till the very end.
'''Pipin:''' The train should be along any moment now. Prepare to board, everyone!

<blockquote>The Tower of Babil now accessible.</blockquote>

''Optional dialogue''
'''Sadu:''' Aye, aye, kill no man. I have not forgotten your instruction. I must settle for crushing the ironmen's toys. Their blue blood will feed my flames!

'''Magnai:''' Your comrades tell me that the Telophoroi abducted you on the selfsame eve they so rudely interrupted our meal. A brazen feat that would make a Buduga proud.
'''Magnai:''' But even had it not ended poorly, it was a disappointment in many respects. I have decided that when we return triumphant, the Oronir will hold a far grander feast on the Azim Steppe. You have permission to attend.

'''Lyse:''' It's likely that Anima, at least, will notice when we enter the tower. There's no point in trying to stay hidden after that.
'''Lyse:''' So when the time comes, I say don't overthink it, and cut a path straight through!

'''Cirina:''' Strange. Though this will be a more fearsome fight than any Naadam, I feel at peace...
'''Cirina:''' Maybe it is because I have Sadu, Magnai, and you at my side.
'''Cirina:''' Maybe it is because we fight for all Xaela, and more peoples besides. There is but one path ─ that which leads to victory!

'''Pipin:''' The train we're boarding is meant to carry supplies and armaments and the like.
'''Pipin:''' With any luck, we can slip past the tempered as they go about loading the freight.

'''Thancred:''' We were only able to ascertain that the tunnel connects to the tower. I fear I have little to offer as to the details of the interior or present situation therein.
'''Thancred:''' If Fandaniel is to be believed, we don't have the luxury of time to scout ahead, so we'll have to trust in your instincts. They've served us well enough thus far.

'''Urianger:''' 'Tis no meager delight to watch Alisaie and Alphinaud grow more resolute in mind and heart.
'''Urianger:''' And remarkable though their accomplishments may be, I doubt not that they are destined for still greater things.
'''Urianger:''' Grant them thy protection, Master Louisoix. I implore thee...

'''G'raha Tia:''' If Fandaniel truly is Amon, to create a gate through which a primal may pass will not be beyond him.
'''G'raha Tia:''' From what I gather, he was utterly brilliant ─ and utterly mad.

'''Y'shtola:''' Assuming Fandaniel intends to make Zodiark serve as a catalyst for the Final Days...
'''Y'shtola:''' One cannot but wonder if he willingly parted ways with the other Ascians long ago.
'''Y'shtola:''' Surely they would not have permitted the very god they created to forestall the world's end to be used in such a way.

'''Estinien:''' When Zenos murdered Varis, Gaius was upon him in an instant. Seldom have I seen such fury.
'''Estinien:''' I won't pretend to know the bond they shared, but pain, fear, rage...I know them well. I know what can drive a man to drown in them.
'''Estinien:''' Though his homeland may have wished for his blade, my lance will roar in its stead.

'''Alphinaud:''' I'm only too aware that our intervention may not be what many of Garlemald's people want or need right now.
'''Alphinaud:''' Not every tragedy can be laid at the feet of the Telophoroi. Certainly not that of Licinia and her sister.
'''Alphinaud:''' Nevertheless, we must follow our conscience, and mine has led me here.

'''Alisaie:''' Much as I'd like to be the one to wipe the grin off Fandaniel's smug little face, I haven't lost sight of why we're here.
'''Alisaie:''' Our ultimate goal is to prevent the Telophoroi from doing any further harm, no matter how.
'''Alisaie:''' But if I ''do'' get the chance to introduce my fist to his jaw ─ and gods, do I hope I do ─ I won't turn it down!

'''After Tower of Babil duty.'''
'''Alphinaud:''' Farewell, Varis. May the gods have mercy on your soul.
'''Alphinaud:''' Come. The other two await.

'''Alisaie:''' This madness ends here!
'''Fandaniel:''' Oh hush. This is the best part...
'''Estinien:''' Enough!
'''Fandaniel:''' O mighty Zodiark, awaken from your slumber and descend!
'''Urianger:''' Some manner of magical defense!?
''Krile slowly walks in.''
'''Hydaelyn:''' The shackles that bind my adversary will not be so easily broken!
'''Fandaniel:''' Hydaelyn... Feeble relic of a forgotten age...
'''Fandaniel:''' Hark! Victory...is mine!
[[File:EW-GatewayoftheGods-mare.jpg|450px]]
'''Fandaniel:''' No more aether... And I was so close!
'''Fandaniel:''' My lord, a slight change of plans. We shall travel to the moon and break this wretched barrier ourselves!
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Whatever it takes.
'''G'raha Tia:''' What was that!?
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The final order issued by Anima to the tempered thralls.
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' “Should the Empire fall, the world must share her fate.”
'''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Of course, Father lacked the conviction to give such a command. The abomination born of his flesh was but a puppet ─ and I the puppeteer.
'''Alisaie:''' You madman! You monster!
'''Fandaniel:''' There's a funny joy in watching your flailing attempts to fight the inevitable. You're all going to die and are powerless to prevent it.
'''Fandaniel:''' We really must be on our way. You're welcome to give chase, provided you are content to leave comrade and tempered alike to die screaming.
'''Hydaelyn:''' I have asked too much of this child. Tend to her.
'''Hydaelyn:''' The last brand at Mare Lamentorum is yet unbroken. Zodiark remains bound.
'''Hydaelyn:''' I have shifted the flow of aether and sent the enemy far from their destination.
'''Hydaelyn:''' Now, I shall divert it once more. An ally awaits, and I will deliver you unto him.
'''Hydaelyn:''' Seek his aid. Restore the seal. Zodiark must not be set free...
'''Thancred:''' The tempered are running wild. Not only those at the tower, but those back at the camp.
'''Thancred:''' The others are doing their best to contain them, but the situation is growing beyond our control.
'''Alisaie:''' Leave them to die, or give up the chase. Just like Fandaniel said...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I'm the one Zenos wants.
> Only I can bring an end to this.
> Garlemald's fate is in your hands.

'''Alphinaud:''' You're...you're going alone!?
'''Alphinaud:''' You have our trust and our faith. I pray we have yours.
'''Alphinaud:''' Our friends and the tempered need our help. We will save as many as we can ─ I swear!
'''Thancred:''' Once we have matters well in hand, we will join you on the moon. Until then, be careful. There's no telling what you'll find.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' Fear not for Krile. Go forth...and return, I prithee.

'''Y'shtola:''' She channeled a dangerous amount of aether. And that's to say nothing of the teleportation magick she must have used to get here.
'''Y'shtola:''' Yet Krile and Hydaelyn both were clearly willing to take the risk. Hmm.

'''Krile:''' ...

'''Thancred:''' We're moving out to rendezvous with the remainder of the contingent. Leave everything here to us.

'''Alisaie:''' Stand there for just a moment, please.
'''Alisaie:''' ...A prayer for good luck. Now you can't possibly fail!

'''Estinien:''' We've no time for worrying over what's done. Let's go.

'''G'raha Tia:''' As I suspected...

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' If all of the tempered are affected, Jullus and his comrades likely put up quite the struggle.
'''Alphinaud:''' We'll find a way to save them ─ we must. I only pray we are not too late.
'''Alphinaud:''' In the meantime...may the Twelve carry you to victory.
