[[Koharu]] {{coords|13.1, 13.5}}<br>
[[Rokka]] {{coords|13.3, 14.7}}

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Hozan]] in [[Vesper Bay]].
*Speak with [[Yozan]].
*Search for the [[Hiding Child|children in hiding]]. 0/3
*Speak with Hozan.

==Journal==
* [[Alphinaud]] has a mind to send you to [[Vesper Bay]].

* Alphinaud would ensure that the ongoing preparations for the [[Doma]]ns' journey proceed as smoothly as possible. To facilitate the process, he bids you return to Vesper Bay and speak with [[Hozan]], a Doman who has been tasked with managing the first wave of departures.

* As their departure draws ever closer, Hozan must account for all his charges, including a number of young children. To that end, he asks that you speak with his son, [[Yozan]], who he believes may be able to help.

* Hozan is proud of his son, and with good reason: Yozan has already instructed the other children to make their preparations. The only ones who have yet to be located are a trio who were engaged in a game of hide-and-seek. It would seem that the children are very serious when it comes to the game, and will not move from their hiding spots unless found, leaving you with no choice but to find them yourself.

* Despite their dedication to the game, the three remaining children were not particularly good at it. Inform Hozan that your work is finished.

* You learn that [[Yugiri]] is responsible for the children's regular practice of hide-and-seek, as she deemed it necessary to ensure their survival in the event of an imperial attack. Many would consider it a valuable skill, to be sure─albeit one Hozan hopes the children never need to use.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' As we speak, the Domans prepare for departure at Vesper Bay, wherefrom they will be transported by carriage to Ul'dah.
'''Alphinaud:''' That said, this has all been decided rather suddenly, and it would not surprise me if the refugees required some assistance in coordinating their preparations.
'''Alphinaud:''' [Forename], I would have you return to Vesper Bay and facilitate the process through tasks great and small. In short: whatever must needs be done, do it.
'''Alphinaud:''' Speak with a man named Hozan when you arrive. As Lady Yugiri tells it, he has been designated the leader of the first group.
-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Alphinaud:''' I know that these tasks may seem trifling at times. However, they are vital to ensuring the safety of the refugees for their pending journey.
-optional end

===Speaking with Hozen in Vesper Bay===

-optional start
Homei: Ugh. I can smell their stench on the wind even here.
-optional end

'''Hozan:''' Greetings. Alphinaud informed me that a Scion would be arriving to help with the preparations. I am honored to meet you, though shamed as well. A great warrior should not be tasked with such trivialities.
'''Hozan:''' Aye, I knew from a glance what manner of {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}} you were. I too have some skill at arms, as do many of our people.
'''Hozan:''' Pray forgive this trifle, but might I trouble you to help round up the children that have been given into my care?
'''Hozan:''' They are most adept at staying hidden from my sight, but perhaps your keen eyes will succeed where I have failed.
'''Hozan:''' You have my thanks, friend. Pray seek out my son Yozan. He can tell you more.

-optional start
'''Hozan:''' These have been trying times, but Yozan has handled himself well. I only wish there were more I could do for him.
-optional end

===Speaking with Yozan===
'''Yozan:''' Oh, hello there! I'm Yozan, son of Hozan. Will you be coming with us to Ul'dah? I hear we're traveling by horsebird-drawn carriage!
'''Yozan:''' But...don't you think they're ''queer''? Giant birds that people ride like horses? I still want to try riding one, but─
'''Yozan:''' What's that? You're looking for the others? Don't worry. I already told them to get ready for the carriages.
'''Yozan:''' I'll need your help, though. We were just finishing a game of hide-and-seek. Three players are still in hiding, and since Lady Yugiri told us to take it ''really'' seriously, they won't move until they're found. But Vesper Bay isn't that big, so I bet you can find them in no time!

-optional start
'''Yozan:''' Everything's so different! The buildings, the people— Even the ''smells'' are different!
-optional end

'''Koharu@Hiding Child:''' Hey! You're not Yozan! Who're you?
'''Koharu:''' I'm Koharu. [Forename] [Surname], eh? I didn't know anyone else was─ Waaait a minute! You're one of those, um, Stallions, aren't you!?
'''Koharu:''' No─ Scions, ''Scions''! Then you must know Lady Yugiri, right? Isn't she great!? She's ''really'' good at hide-and-seek, too! Oh, right─ It's almost time to go. Nice meeting you, [Forename] [Surname]!

'''Shiun@Hiding Child:''' How'd you find me!? Bah! Guess I need to practice more.
'''Shiun@Hiding Child:''' Or maybe you're just good at this? I mean, the Garleans didn't find me...

'''Rokka@Hiding Child:''' Um... Are you playing? Ahhh! No fair! Yozan didn't say anything about adults!
'''Rokka@Hiding Child:''' Huh? We get to ride a horsebird carriage? I don't know... It sounds scary. But if Yozan says it's safe, I'll go.

===Speaking with Hozan===
'''Hozan:''' Wonderful! All the children are accounted─ Hide-and-seek? Ah, I see that you are curious. It is quite simple, really.
'''Hozan:''' Lady Yugiri thought it best that the children know what to do in case the Garleans found us.
'''Hozan:''' I should hope that those days are behind us, but I nevertheless take comfort in knowing that we are prepared.

Unlocks [[Levequests]] for [[Eastern La Noscea]]

==Steps==
*Complete Nahctahr's trial guildleve.

*Report to Nahctahr.

==Journal==
*Nahctahr, the Adventurers' Guild representative for local levequests in Costa del Sol, is seeking an adventurer to undertake guildleves.

*In order to gauge your ability to handle the various guildleves he has to offer, Nahctahr requires that you carry out a preliminary task.

*You have successfully completed the trial guildleve. Report to Nahctahr in Costa del Sol.

*Nahctahr is now confident that you are capable of handling any of the trials and tribulations you might encounter around Costa del Sol. Prove your worth as an adventurer, and continue to undertake the guildleves he has to offer.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>

-optional start
Nahctahr: Used to be a 'Cuda. Manned the camp right beyond Limsa... Manned it that is, till I lost my big toe. A chunk of Dalamud fell straight on it. Consider myself lucky, though. Another ilm to the left, I'd have lost a lot more than that. Now, as for you... I've no leves for you. Baderon made it clear I'm to issue no quests to those without at least a few scars to prove their worth.
-optional end

===Accepting the quest===
Nahctahr: Are you looking to make yourself useful? I'm Nahctahr, a representative of the Adventurers' Guild.
Nahctahr: As the levemete stationed here in Costa del Sol, it's my job to match capable adventurers to the tasks that come in from the locals.
Nahctahr: I'd start loading you up with dangerous fieldwork immediately, but I'm ''required'' to assess your suitability for handling the sort of threats you might encounter.
Nahctahr: Take a good look at the task outlined in this guildleve. Are you willing to try your hand at this trial?
''The player accepts the levequest''
Nahctahr: Very well. I'm certain you're already aware of this, but you'll likely encounter hostile creatures in the area─be sure you're properly armed and armored before beginning your task.
-quest accepted

-optional start
Nahctahr: You're free to begin the guildleve whenever your preparations are complete.
Nahctahr: You've started the trial guildleve, have you? It's just a formality, aye, but try not to make a mess of it, adventurer.
-optional end

===Report to Ourawann===
Nahctahr: As I expected, you managed the task without too much difficulty. Don't forget to collect your reward!
''The player accepts the reward''
Nahctahr: See? I knew that trial was a waste of time. I have plenty of other tasks that a hardy soul such as yourself should have little trouble with.
Nahctahr: Costa del Sol welcomes your continued cooperation!

==Walkthrough==
Minfilia is in [[The Solar]].

==Steps==
*Give [[Warburton's Journal|Warburton's journal]] to [[Urianger]].
*Speak with [[Tataru]] in [[Revenant's Toll]].
*Speak with [[Minfilia Warde|Minfilia]] in the [[Rising Stones]].

==Journal==
*[[Minfilia Warde|Minfilia]] has a final favor to ask of you.

*Minfilia's father, Warburton, was a [[Garlean]] spy whose true loyalties lay with the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance]]. Before his untimely death some fifteen years ago, he stole a wealth of imperial research on the [[primal]]s, and compiled the findings in his [[Warburton's Journal|private journal]]. Though this journal has served to guide Minfilia ever since, she has resolved -- after no small amount of soul-searching -- to entrust it to [[Urianger]], in the hope that he may succeed in unraveling its remaining mysteries. Present Warburton's journal to Urianger on Minfilia's behalf.

*By curious coincidence, Minfilia contacts you via linkpearl immediately after you deliver the journal to Urianger. She has departed for [[Revenant's Toll]], and bids you follow as soon as you are able. Travel to [[Mor Dhona]], and speak with [[Tataru]] inside the [[The Seventh Heaven|Seventh Heaven]] to gain entrance to the [[Rising Stones]].

*Tataru welcomes you as warmly as always, and assures you that the [[Scions]]' new headquarters will more than meet with your expectations. Take a moment to explore the Rising Stones, and speak with Minfilia when you are satisfied that you know your way around.

*Even as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn celebrate the inauguration of their new headquarters, Urianger arrives unannounced, bearing troubling news. The distant yet dependable [[The Students of Baldesion|Students of Baldesion]] are no longer responding to his messages. Fearing the worst, Minfilia bids Urianger do everything he can to determine the cause of their uncharacteristic silence. For the time being, however, the Scions have no choice but to continue their work without the aid of one of their closest allies.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Let us set aside the matter of this Ascian until after we have completed our move to the Rising Stones. There is but one final favor I would ask of you before I depart.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I believe I mentioned before that my father was a member of the Ala Mhigan Resistance. The truth, however, is more complicated than that.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' As far as the Empire knew, he was their spy. He maintained the deception for nigh on half a decade, furnishing the Resistance with vital imperial secrets while feeding his paymasters subtly conceived misinformation.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' When he died some fifteen years ago, my father left behind his journal, which I have closely guarded ever since. It contains every shred of information he and his agents could steal on what they believed to be the single greatest threat to Eorzea: the primals.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Its wisdom has guided me through the years, though there is much within I still do not understand...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' It is my hope that Urianger will fare better.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Tell him to treat it with care. It is all I have left of my father.
-quest accepted
-optional start
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Please, before I reconsider, give my father's journal to Urianger.
-optional end

===Giving Warburton's journal to Urianger===
'''Urianger:''' I thought thee departed. To what end dost thou linger?

''The player hands over {{i|Warburton's Journal}}.''

'''Urianger:''' The father's final bequest...the daughter's lifelong labor.
'''Urianger:''' It is no small thing to surrender such a cherished memento. Well can I imagine the Antecedent's pain. Upon mine honor, I swear to spare no effort in the study of these materials, lest my lady's sacrifice be in vain.

-cutscene start
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' [Forename], this is Minfilia.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Forgive me, but I could wait no longer─I have departed for the Rising Stones.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' If...if you have yet to...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...Once you have given the journal to Urianger, I bid you come to the Seventh Heaven in Revenant's Toll. Tataru will be there to show you inside our new headquarters.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Assuming you have already attuned to it, you may wish to make use of our new aetheryte in Revenant's Toll. After all, it is right on our doorstep!
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Tataru in Revenant's Toll===
-optional start
'''Urianger:''' Thou hast been summoned to the Rising Stones, yes? Then keep not thy fellows waiting.

'''Slafborn:''' Ah, there you are. Your friends are waiting for you inside.
-optional end

-cutscene start
'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! You're here! Good, good. We were all wondering when you'd show up!

'''Slafborn:''' As I was just telling your restive receptionist here, I'm pleased to inform you that all the documents have been prepared and all signatures signed. The Rising Stones is officially yours!

'''Tataru:''' Splendid! From this day forward, I will spare no effort in seeing that it is as welcoming and comfortable a home for us as the Waking Sands ever was!
'''Tataru:''' That said, this is all somewhat intimidating, is it not? So many unfamiliar places, and unfamiliar faces...

> If you have not started {{i|Legacy of Allag}}
'''Tataru:''' Take that odd-looking fellow over there, for example. He's been eyeing us most suspiciously ever since we arrived. I cannot help but wonder if we are truly safe here...

'''Slafborn:''' Ah, that man. I can't say I've spoken to him myself, but rumor has it he's come to hunt for ancient treasures in the Crystal Tower.
'''Slafborn:''' You've seen the structure I speak of, no? It'd be hard to miss it. That massive pillar of shining crystal that looms high over the land just to the southeast of here.
'''Slafborn:''' If the tales are to be believed, it's a remnant of some ancient civilization. The details remain a mystery, and that's no doubt why it's drawn adventurers and scholars from all over looking to unearth its secrets.
'''Slafborn:''' The man over there is no exception─and if my instincts are true, he knows more than most. If you're curious about the tower yourself, you could do worse than to talk to him and see what he knows.
'''Slafborn:''' Why, if I weren't otherwise occupied with my duties here, I'd have half a mind to join you. I mean, just look at it! I can scarce begin to imagine what wonders lie inside...

> If you have started {{i|Legacy of Allag}}
'''Slafborn:''' Revenant's Toll is populated mostly by adventurers, which means─as you might expect─that there's quite a bit of coming and going.
'''Slafborn:''' Emphasis on the ''coming''─at least of late, what with the investigation of the Crystal Tower hitting full stride. I've lost track of how many fortune-seekers and scholars have shown up in the past few days alone, hoping to unearth ancient secrets.
'''Slafborn:''' I don't suppose the tower's piqued your interest as well?
'''Slafborn:''' You've already offered your aid to the effort, you say? You certainly move quickly, my friend.
'''Slafborn:''' If I weren't otherwise occupied with my duties here, I'd have half a mind to join you. Alas, I'll have to settle for hearing the tales of all you've seen upon your return. Be safe in there, yes?
'''Slafborn:''' Most of the men and women you see around you here in Revenant's Toll are adventurers who come and go as they wish. I daresay that should make it easier for you to go about your business here.
Slafborn: And it shouldn't hurt that [Forename] here has already made something of a name for {{alternatives|f=herself|m=himself}} here. Isn't that so, [Forename]?

'''Tataru:''' Why, that's wonderful to hear! Rest assured that this receptionist will work just as hard to see that our efforts do not skip a beat despite the relocation.
---

'''Tataru:''' And with that, [Forename], I do believe it's time you officially announced your presence to everyone inside.
'''Tataru:''' The Antecedent and the others will surely be overjoyed to see you.

> If you have not started {{i|Legacy of Allag}}
'''System:''' The Crystal Tower quest series is now available from the outlandish man.
'''System:''' In order to progress in the main scenario, you must first complete certain quests in the Crystal Tower series.
'''System:''' While you are granted a respite from your duties as a Scion, use your time to probe the depths of the Crystal Tower and see what ancient secrets may be gleaned!

'''Tataru:''' Welcome to our new home─the Rising Stones! Isn't it lovely?
'''Tataru:''' But why are you standing around here talking to me? Everyone's waiting for you inside!

'''Y'shtola:''' As you can see, our Sharlayan allies have furnished us with a wealth of new tomes. 'Twould be prudent for you to broaden your knowledge as well.

'''Coultenet:''' I did not realize the Scions had moved until I arrived in Vesper Bay. Thankfully, Urianger was kind enough to direct me here.
'''Coultenet:''' I know I've only just joined, but if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

'''Thancred:''' As ravishing as ever. Perhaps, for old times' sake, she would—
'''Thancred:''' Gods, [Forename]! Don't sneak up on me like that. We bards are an easily startled lot.

'''F'lhaminn:''' Oh? You wish to help? That's very kind of you, but I can manage on my own. Besides, you should be our having grand adventures, not withering away here with me.

'''Papalymo:''' So here we are. Completely independent and unquestionable neutral—or at least more so than before. Truth be told, I cannot say it feels ''that'' different. Of course, Yda begs to differ.

'''Yda:''' I love the smell of victory in the morning! It smells like sweat—No, no... Mun-Tuy sauce! Noooo... ''Victory''! Yeah, victory!

'''Hoary Boulder:''' <cough> <wheeze> The horror... The horror...

'''Alphinaud:''' Is it not wonderful, [Forename]? Nary a single presumptuous merchant has darkened our door.
'''Alphinaud:''' I know full well they will come in time, but for now let us enjoy the respite.

Adventurers' Guild Emissary: As for the remainder of the shipment...
Adventurers' Guild Assistant: I shall see to it forthwith, sir.

-optional end

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Well, it is certainly spacious.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Today marks a new beginning for the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, for today we declare our independence.

'''Alphinaud:''' We shall henceforth be beholden to no nation, but serve all of Eorzea's people, proudly and openly.
'''Alphinaud:''' But this does not mean that we will sever our ties to the Eorzean Alliance. On the contrary, the Antecedent and I shall endeavor to strengthen them. Rest assured, however, that we shall not permit political considerations to influence our decisions.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Our identity remains unchanged, as does our cause. We are the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and our single purpose is to safeguard the future of Eorzea.

'''x@Scions of the Seventh Dawn:''' For Eorzea!

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' A moment of your time, [Forename]. I would speak of Elidibus─

'''Urianger:''' Pardon the intrusion, my lady, but the matter which bringeth me will admit no delay. Mine every attempt to contact the Students of Baldesion hath been met with silence.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' No one will respond?
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' How odd. Allow me to try.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...No response. Surely they would not ignore us?

'''Urianger:''' They have never yet, my lady. I fear we must assume the worst.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' No. No, I will not believe it. An outpost, perhaps, but not their headquarters.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Their wards are beyond circumvention. Had they come under attack, they would most certainly have raised the alarm. None could penetrate their sanctum unnoticed─
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' But for those who lack the gift and the knowledge both. Oh no...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Contact their agents in the field at once. If aught has befallen the Students of Baldesion, they may know of it.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...Though the thought of it pains me, until such time as we have evidence to the contrary, we can but assume the worst. Accordingly, we must needs seek another source of information on Elidibus.

'''Urianger:''' 'Tis possible that others in the homeland are possessed of such knowledge. Be fairly warned, however: they are unlike to yield it unconditionally.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Do what you must.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Yet another unforeseen and unwelcome development...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' What could be next, I wonder? A visit from a crimson-clad Ascian, perhaps? Or ocher? Or puce? And which of our allies will then fall silent...?
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...For a time, I thought we had gained the upper hand.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' When you shattered the Crystal of Darkness and cast out Lahabrea, I dared to hope that we had found a way to rid ourselves of the Ascian menace.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' But I was wrong. He endures, and may yet return. Upon that point, I have no doubt that Elidibus spoke true.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Yet there ''must'' be a way to destroy them utterly─a way to spare this world their unholy machinations!
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I dare not consider the alternative...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' There are forces at work we do not understand, [Forename].
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I discern them all around─in disturbances too great and too numerous to be dismissed as mere coincidence. Doubtless the Paragons are involved, but how and to what end is far from clear.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I know not what will come, but I ''do'' know that we will rise and meet it as one.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Ah, my stalwart hero... Your face is a picture of resolve.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I know that you will be ready when the time comes. With luck, however, that will not be for a while yet. Pray return to your private affairs with my blessing. Should anything arise, you will be informed.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Krile...where are you?

'''Nabriales:''' ...No, it does not.

'''Elidibus:''' Serve as you will. So too shall I. We labor not at cross purposes.

*[[Minfilia Warde|Minfilia]] has a final favor to ask of you.

*Minfilia's father, Warburton, was a [[Garlean]] spy whose true loyalties lay with the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance]]. Before his untimely death some fifteen years ago, he stole a wealth of imperial research on the [[primal]]s, and compiled the findings in his [[Warburton's Journal|private journal]]. Though this journal has served to guide Minfilia ever since, she has resolved -- after no small amount of soul-searching -- to entrust it to [[Urianger]], in the hope that he may succeed in unraveling its remaining mysteries. Present Warburton's journal to Urianger on Minfilia's behalf.

*By curious coincidence, Minfilia contacts you via linkpearl immediately after you deliver the journal to Urianger. She has departed for [[Revenant's Toll]], and bids you follow as soon as you are able. Travel to [[Mor Dhona]], and speak with [[Tataru]] inside the [[The Seventh Heaven|Seventh Heaven]] to gain entrance to the [[Rising Stones]].

*Tataru welcomes you as warmly as always, and assures you that the [[Scions]]' new headquarters will more than meet with your expectations. Take a moment to explore the Rising Stones, and speak with Minfilia when you are satisfied that you know your way around.

*Even as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn celebrate the inauguration of their new headquarters, Urianger arrives unannounced, bearing troubling news. The distant yet dependable [[The Students of Baldesion|Students of Baldesion]] are no longer responding to his messages. Fearing the worst, Minfilia bids Urianger do everything he can to determine the cause of their uncharacteristic silence. For the time being, however, the Scions have no choice but to continue their work without the aid of one of their closest allies.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Let us set aside the matter of this Ascian until after we have completed our move to the Rising Stones. There is but one final favor I would ask of you before I depart.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I believe I mentioned before that my father was a member of the Ala Mhigan Resistance. The truth, however, is more complicated than that.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' As far as the Empire knew, he was their spy. He maintained the deception for nigh on half a decade, furnishing the Resistance with vital imperial secrets while feeding his paymasters subtly conceived misinformation.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' When he died some fifteen years ago, my father left behind his journal, which I have closely guarded ever since. It contains every shred of information he and his agents could steal on what they believed to be the single greatest threat to Eorzea: the primals.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Its wisdom has guided me through the years, though there is much within I still do not understand...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' It is my hope that Urianger will fare better.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Tell him to treat it with care. It is all I have left of my father.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Please, before I reconsider, give my father's journal to Urianger.

===Giving Warburton's journal to Urianger===
'''Urianger:''' I thought thee departed. To what end dost thou linger?

''The player hands over {{i|Warburton's Journal}}.''

'''Urianger:''' The father's final bequest...the daughter's lifelong labor.
'''Urianger:''' It is no small thing to surrender such a cherished memento. Well can I imagine the Antecedent's pain. Upon mine honor, I swear to spare no effort in the study of these materials, lest my lady's sacrifice be in vain.

-cutscene start
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' [Forename], this is Minfilia.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Forgive me, but I could wait no longer─I have departed for the Rising Stones.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' If...if you have yet to...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...Once you have given the journal to Urianger, I bid you come to the Seventh Heaven in Revenant's Toll. Tataru will be there to show you inside our new headquarters.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Assuming you have already attuned to it, you may wish to make use of our new aetheryte in Revenant's Toll. After all, it is right on our doorstep!

===Speaking with Tataru in Revenant's Toll===

'''Urianger:''' Thou hast been summoned to the Rising Stones, yes? Then keep not thy fellows waiting.

'''Slafborn:''' Ah, there you are. Your friends are waiting for you inside.

'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! You're here! Good, good. We were all wondering when you'd show up!

'''Slafborn:''' As I was just telling your restive receptionist here, I'm pleased to inform you that all the documents have been prepared and all signatures signed. The Rising Stones is officially yours!

'''Tataru:''' Splendid! From this day forward, I will spare no effort in seeing that it is as welcoming and comfortable a home for us as the Waking Sands ever was!
'''Tataru:''' That said, this is all somewhat intimidating, is it not? So many unfamiliar places, and unfamiliar faces...

> If you have not started {{i|Legacy of Allag}}
'''Tataru:''' Take that odd-looking fellow over there, for example. He's been eyeing us most suspiciously ever since we arrived. I cannot help but wonder if we are truly safe here...

'''Slafborn:''' Ah, that man. I can't say I've spoken to him myself, but rumor has it he's come to hunt for ancient treasures in the Crystal Tower.
'''Slafborn:''' You've seen the structure I speak of, no? It'd be hard to miss it. That massive pillar of shining crystal that looms high over the land just to the southeast of here.
'''Slafborn:''' If the tales are to be believed, it's a remnant of some ancient civilization. The details remain a mystery, and that's no doubt why it's drawn adventurers and scholars from all over looking to unearth its secrets.
'''Slafborn:''' The man over there is no exception─and if my instincts are true, he knows more than most. If you're curious about the tower yourself, you could do worse than to talk to him and see what he knows.
'''Slafborn:''' Why, if I weren't otherwise occupied with my duties here, I'd have half a mind to join you. I mean, just look at it! I can scarce begin to imagine what wonders lie inside...

> If you have started {{i|Legacy of Allag}}
'''Slafborn:''' Revenant's Toll is populated mostly by adventurers, which means─as you might expect─that there's quite a bit of coming and going.
'''Slafborn:''' Emphasis on the ''coming''─at least of late, what with the investigation of the Crystal Tower hitting full stride. I've lost track of how many fortune-seekers and scholars have shown up in the past few days alone, hoping to unearth ancient secrets.
'''Slafborn:''' I don't suppose the tower's piqued your interest as well?
'''Slafborn:''' You've already offered your aid to the effort, you say? You certainly move quickly, my friend.
'''Slafborn:''' If I weren't otherwise occupied with my duties here, I'd have half a mind to join you. Alas, I'll have to settle for hearing the tales of all you've seen upon your return. Be safe in there, yes?
'''Slafborn:''' Most of the men and women you see around you here in Revenant's Toll are adventurers who come and go as they wish. I daresay that should make it easier for you to go about your business here.
Slafborn: And it shouldn't hurt that [Forename] here has already made something of a name for {{alternatives|f=herself|m=himself}} here. Isn't that so, [Forename]?

'''Tataru:''' Why, that's wonderful to hear! Rest assured that this receptionist will work just as hard to see that our efforts do not skip a beat despite the relocation.
---

'''Tataru:''' And with that, [Forename], I do believe it's time you officially announced your presence to everyone inside.
'''Tataru:''' The Antecedent and the others will surely be overjoyed to see you.

> If you have not started {{i|Legacy of Allag}}
'''System:''' The Crystal Tower quest series is now available from the outlandish man.
'''System:''' In order to progress in the main scenario, you must first complete certain quests in the Crystal Tower series.
'''System:''' While you are granted a respite from your duties as a Scion, use your time to probe the depths of the Crystal Tower and see what ancient secrets may be gleaned!

'''Tataru:''' Welcome to our new home─the Rising Stones! Isn't it lovely?
'''Tataru:''' But why are you standing around here talking to me? Everyone's waiting for you inside!

'''Y'shtola:''' As you can see, our Sharlayan allies have furnished us with a wealth of new tomes. 'Twould be prudent for you to broaden your knowledge as well.

'''Coultenet:''' I did not realize the Scions had moved until I arrived in Vesper Bay. Thankfully, Urianger was kind enough to direct me here.
'''Coultenet:''' I know I've only just joined, but if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

'''Thancred:''' As ravishing as ever. Perhaps, for old times' sake, she would—
'''Thancred:''' Gods, [Forename]! Don't sneak up on me like that. We bards are an easily startled lot.

'''F'lhaminn:''' Oh? You wish to help? That's very kind of you, but I can manage on my own. Besides, you should be our having grand adventures, not withering away here with me.

'''Papalymo:''' So here we are. Completely independent and unquestionable neutral—or at least more so than before. Truth be told, I cannot say it feels ''that'' different. Of course, Yda begs to differ.

'''Yda:''' I love the smell of victory in the morning! It smells like sweat—No, no... Mun-Tuy sauce! Noooo... ''Victory''! Yeah, victory!

'''Hoary Boulder:''' <cough> <wheeze> The horror... The horror...

'''Alphinaud:''' Is it not wonderful, [Forename]? Nary a single presumptuous merchant has darkened our door.
'''Alphinaud:''' I know full well they will come in time, but for now let us enjoy the respite.

"Adventurers' Guild Emissary:" As for the remainder of the shipment...
"Adventurers' Guild Assistant:" I shall see to it forthwith, sir.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Well, it is certainly spacious.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Today marks a new beginning for the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, for today we declare our independence.

'''Alphinaud:''' We shall henceforth be beholden to no nation, but serve all of Eorzea's people, proudly and openly.
'''Alphinaud:''' But this does not mean that we will sever our ties to the Eorzean Alliance. On the contrary, the Antecedent and I shall endeavor to strengthen them. Rest assured, however, that we shall not permit political considerations to influence our decisions.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Our identity remains unchanged, as does our cause. We are the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and our single purpose is to safeguard the future of Eorzea.

'''x@Scions of the Seventh Dawn:''' For Eorzea!

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' A moment of your time, [Forename]. I would speak of Elidibus─

'''Urianger:''' Pardon the intrusion, my lady, but the matter which bringeth me will admit no delay. Mine every attempt to contact the Students of Baldesion hath been met with silence.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' No one will respond?
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' How odd. Allow me to try.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...No response. Surely they would not ignore us?

'''Urianger:''' They have never yet, my lady. I fear we must assume the worst.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' No. No, I will not believe it. An outpost, perhaps, but not their headquarters.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Their wards are beyond circumvention. Had they come under attack, they would most certainly have raised the alarm. None could penetrate their sanctum unnoticed─
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' But for those who lack the gift and the knowledge both. Oh no...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Contact their agents in the field at once. If aught has befallen the Students of Baldesion, they may know of it.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...Though the thought of it pains me, until such time as we have evidence to the contrary, we can but assume the worst. Accordingly, we must needs seek another source of information on Elidibus.

'''Urianger:''' 'Tis possible that others in the homeland are possessed of such knowledge. Be fairly warned, however: they are unlike to yield it unconditionally.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Do what you must.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Yet another unforeseen and unwelcome development...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' What could be next, I wonder? A visit from a crimson-clad Ascian, perhaps? Or ocher? Or puce? And which of our allies will then fall silent...?
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' ...For a time, I thought we had gained the upper hand.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' When you shattered the Crystal of Darkness and cast out Lahabrea, I dared to hope that we had found a way to rid ourselves of the Ascian menace.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' But I was wrong. He endures, and may yet return. Upon that point, I have no doubt that Elidibus spoke true.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Yet there ''must'' be a way to destroy them utterly─a way to spare this world their unholy machinations!
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I dare not consider the alternative...
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' There are forces at work we do not understand, [Forename].
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I discern them all around─in disturbances too great and too numerous to be dismissed as mere coincidence. Doubtless the Paragons are involved, but how and to what end is far from clear.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I know not what will come, but I ''do'' know that we will rise and meet it as one.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Ah, my stalwart hero... Your face is a picture of resolve.
'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' I know that you will be ready when the time comes. With luck, however, that will not be for a while yet. Pray return to your private affairs with my blessing. Should anything arise, you will be informed.

'''Minfilia Warde@Minfilia:''' Krile...where are you?

'''Nabriales:''' Your intercession was not foretold.

'''Elidibus:''' You object?

'''Nabriales:''' We question. Our plans are in motion, your intentions unclear.

'''Elidibus:''' They survived the Seventh Ardor and are stronger now in the gift. Does that not intrigue you?

'''Nabriales:''' ...No, it does not.

'''Elidibus:''' Serve as you will. So too shall I. We labor not at cross purposes.
'''Elidibus:''' The wisdom of His plan shall become apparent in time, when the veil is lifted from their eyes...

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].
*Search for the [[Doma]]ns on [[the Royal Promenade]].
*Speak with Alphinaud at [[the Quicksand]].
*Speak with [[Yugiri]].
*Speak with [[Momodi]].
*Deliver [[Momodi's Letter|Momodi's letter]] to [[Fridurih]] at [[the Sapphire Avenue Exchange]].
*Deliver Momodi's letter to [[Katherine]] at the Sapphire Avenue Exchange.
*Speak with Momodi.
*Speak with Yugiri.
*Speak with [[Raubahn]] on the Royal Promenade.

==Journal==
* [[Thancred]] has information on your next assignment.

* By way of [[Minfilia Warde|Minfilia]] and, in turn, Thancred, [[Alphinaud]] has requested your presence in [[Vesper Bay]]. Report to young Master Leveilleur at the docks outside [[the Waking Sands]].

* Alphinaud informs you that travelers from the eastern nation of [[Doma]] arrived in Vesper Bay not long ago, apparently seeking an audience with the rulers of [[Ul'dah]]. Believing that they may have valuable information on the current state of affairs within [[Garlean Empire|the Empire]], he is resolved to seek them out, and wants you on hand to ensure that all proceeds smoothly. Knowing how unaccommodating [[the Sultansworn]] can be, he suggests beginning the search on [[the Royal Promenade]] in Ul'dah.

* As predicted, you find the Doman leader and her assistants fruitlessly petitioning the Sultansworn posted outside [[the Fragrant Chamber]]. Sensing an opportunity, Alphinaud approaches the travelers and offers his assistance─on the condition that they first accompany him to [[the Quicksand]] and explain their situation. Follow the party to the Quicksand and let Alphinaud know when you are ready to listen to the Domans' tale.

* Lady [[Yugiri]], the leader of the refugees, explains that her people have come to [[Eorzea]] in search of asylum. After their rebellion against the Empire failed, imperial forces set about razing their homeland of Doma, leaving them no choice but to flee. Moved by her tale, Alphinaud offers to speak to General [[Raubahn]] on Yugiri's behalf, and departs for [[the Hall of Flames]], leaving the refugees in your care. Inquire of Yugiri if there is anything she needs.

* Supplies on the Doman galleon have run low, and Yugiri asks that you help her secure provisions. As proprietress of the Quicksand and a proven friend to [[the Scions]], [[Momodi]] may be the best person to speak with regarding this matter.

* It so happens that a wealthy merchant recently canceled his reservation at the Quicksand, leaving Momodi with an excess of foodstuffs. She offers to send them to the Waking Sands for redistribution, and furnishes you with [[Momodi's Letter|two letters]] containing instructions for her suppliers, [[Fridurih]] and [[Katherine]], who can be found at [[the Sapphire Avenue Exchange]].

* You deliver the instructions to the merchants, who make no effort to hide their disapproval of Momodi's actions. Return to the Quicksand and inform Momodi that the shipments are on their way.

* Momodi is pleased to hear that the foodstuffs will be put to good use. Share the good tidings with Yugiri.

* Not long after you explain Momodi's arrangement to Yugiri, Alphinaud returns to the Quicksand with more good news: the Domans have been granted an audience with [[Nanamo Ul Namo|the sultana]] and [[the Syndicate]]. What will come of the meeting is anyone's guess, but at least Yugiri will have an opportunity to plead her people's case. Return to the Royal Promenade and speak with Raubahn to proceed into the Fragrant Chamber.

* Before the assembled leaders of Ul'dah, Yugiri details the circumstances which compelled her people to seek refuge in Ul'dah. Although the sultana, Raubahn, and [[Teledji Adeledji]] are sympathetic to her cause, the most influential member of the Syndicate, [[Lolorito]], persuades the others to refuse the Domans asylum. Thus barred from Ul'dah, Yugiri and her people must look elsewhere for a new home.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Thancred:''' The Antecedent bid me tell you to make for Vesper Bay, where young Alphinaud awaits your coming ''most'' eagerly. It was he who requested your assistance.
'''Thancred:''' Some commotion or incident─I am not privy to the details.
'''Thancred:''' While you do whatever it is that Alphinaud has planned for you, I shall endeavor to track down our traitorous Brass Blade. And when I do, you may rest assured that we will have our answers.
-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Thancred:''' You do know Alphinaud hates to be kept waiting, don't you? Ah, but of course you do. Carry on, then.
-optional end

===Speaking with Alphinaud===
'''Alphinaud:''' You are late. No matter─I know where our visitors are headed. From what I have been able to gather, this vessel belongs to a band of Domans who seek an audience with the sultana. You are familiar with Doma, yes? In Othard?
'''Alphinaud:''' Well, like the rest of the nations of the eastern continent, it is ruled by the Garlean Empire. Given our visitors' unannounced arrival, as well as the state of their ship, I suspect they did not leave their homeland under the best circumstances. Needless to say, I should be very interested to hear their tale and, more importantly, what they know of the current state of affairs in the Empire. Such information could prove most useful.
'''Alphinaud:''' We would be fools not to pursue this opportunity, do you not think? Come with me to Ul'dah, [Forename]. Unless I am mistaken─and I am ''rarely'' mistaken─we will find the Domans bickering with a Sultansworn on the Royal Promenade.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...You are uncertain of your role in the proceedings? Insurance. If our guests are not themselves imperial agents, it seems fair to assume that they may be being pursued by some. And if not, who better than you to have on hand in the event of an unforeseen diplomatic incident?
'''Alphinaud:''' Besides, I do so enjoy your sparkling repartee. Satisfied? Good. I shall see you in Ul'dah.

===Searching for the Domans on the Royal Promenade===

'''Bartholomew:''' It matters not how many times you ask! Without the necessary permissions, none shall pass!

'''Refugee Leader:''' Pray understand, good sir! We have not the leisure to lodge a formal petition. Time is of the essence.
'''Refugee Leader:''' All I ask is that you summon your superior. Allow me to plead my case. Surely you can grant us that small kindness?

'''Bartholomew:''' Away with you, and darken these doors no longer. I will not ask again!

'''Refugee Leader:''' You know not what you do...

'''Alphinaud:''' I gather your pleas fell upon deaf ears.

'''Refugee Leader:''' A loyal man with a cold heart. I know his kind well.

'''Alphinaud:''' hope that you will find me more to your liking. Alphinaud Leveilleur, at your service. A friend.
'''Alphinaud:''' Which, I believe, makes me very nearly unique─in this part of the world, at least. Few indeed are your allies in Ul'dah. Yet you will need some if you wish to endear yourselves to the wealthy and powerful.
'''Alphinaud:''' Pray join me and my associate at the Quicksand. There you may explain your situation to us, and we shall see if there is aught we can do to help.

Refugee Leader: Master Alphinaud's associate, yes? We have been waiting for you. I trust you are ready to begin?

'''Yugiri:''' We have traveled some several thousand malms across the sea, from the nation of Doma, in hopes that we might find sanctuary in these lands.

'''Alphinaud:''' Sanctuary, Lady Yugiri?

'''Yugiri:''' Aye. Lying within Othard, Doma was under the dominion of the Garlean Empire, as I am sure you are aware.
'''Yugiri:''' When the war of succession broke out in Garlemald, we espied an opportunity to free ourselves from the yoke of imperial oppression, and took up arms.
'''Yugiri:''' ...Only to be crushed. And so I gathered what few Domans escaped the reckoning, and guided them hither to your shores.

'''Alphinaud:''' A war of succession...? Then the Emperor... Forgive me, you said that Doma “was” under imperial rule, did you not?

'''Yugiri:''' Doma is gone. Razed to the ground as an example to the other provinces.

'''Alphinaud:''' Twelve have mercy... And your people?

'''Yugiri:''' On a ship anchored in Vesper Bay, flying borrowed colors.
'''Yugiri:''' Many were complicit in the rebellion, or are kin to those who were. They will not come ashore until I send word that it is safe to do so.
'''Yugiri:''' I sought an audience with your rulers, but was summarily refused.

'''Alphinaud:''' The lords of Ul'dah are not wont to entertain foreign refugees without suitable encouragement.

'''Yugiri:''' Mayhap I was foolish to expect otherwise. But our supplies run low, and we have young ones in urgent need of care.
'''Yugiri:''' I have seen the tents outside the gates, however. We are not the first to seek asylum, nor will we be the last.

'''Alphinaud:''' ...Be that as it may, Ul'dah is no friend to Garlemald. Your tale would stir the hearts of many men and women here.
'''Alphinaud:''' The sultana and the Syndicate will not be so easily swayed─but I shall see that you are granted an opportunity to plead your case.

'''Yugiri:''' This is within your power?

'''Alphinaud:''' Well...far be it from me to boast, but I do have the ear of certain influential individuals.

'''Yugiri:''' I am in your debt.

'''Alphinaud:''' Lady Yugiri, forgive me for observing, but...your choice of attire seems like to evoke feelings of mistrust.

'''Yugiri:''' Men are wont to fear the unfamiliar. We know this from experience.
'''Yugiri:''' We seek only to spare the people of Ul'dah unnecessary disquiet.

'''Alphinaud:''' I shall defer to your experience, then.

'''Yugiri:''' I thank you for your understanding.

'''Alphinaud:''' It seems I have urgent business with the Flame General. I leave our guests in your capable hands.

Kikyo: Lady Yugiri labors day and night for the good of our people. She is an inspiration to us all... yet I worry for her health.

Kasasagi: We are grateful beyond measure for this kindness.

===Speaking with Yugiri===
'''Yugiri:''' If I may, {{alternatives|f=madam|m=sir}}─as I said earlier, we have been at sea for some several moons, and our supplies are all but spent.
'''Yugiri:''' I have not the heart to repeat the tales of our tribulations, nor would it please you to listen to them, I think. Suffice it to say, however...sacrifices have been made.
'''Yugiri:''' Though it shames me to beg for more when you have already offered so much, desperation compels me... {{alternatives|f=Good madam|m=Gentle sir}}, if you or your associates could spare any provisions─anything at all─it would go a long way to lessen the suffering of my people.

-optional start
'''Yugiri:''' Anything you can provide would be welcome. The adults can go without, but the children...
-optional end

===Speaking with Momodi===
'''Momodi:''' ...Hells, why didn't you say so sooner, [Forename]? 'Course I'll help! You couldn't have picked a better day, to tell the truth! A wealthy merchant an' his entourage were due to have a banquet here on the morrow, see, but just sent word they can't come, meanin' I've got a boatload of foodstuffs an' no one to feed. Best of all, they paid for the lot in advance! Hah hah!
'''Momodi:''' Go an' call on Fridurih an' Katherine at the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Tell 'em I said to ship the little prince's order to the Wakin' Sands. Oh, an' if they argue, just show 'em those letters. That should set 'em straight.

-optional start
'''Yugiri:''' I would not ask if the circumstances were not dire. Please─any provisions you can spare would be greatly appreciated.
-optional end

===Delivering Momodi's Letter to Fridurih===
'''Fridurih:''' She's in the business of feedin' refugees now? I ain't normally one to question Mistress Momodi's judgment, but that doesn't seem wise to me.

''The player hands over {{i|Momodi's Letter}}.''

'''Fridurih:''' I'll not speak for the children, but if you ask me, any man what can't earn a crust deserves to go hungry.

===Delivering Momodi's Letter to Katherine===
'''Katherine:''' My, that's a rather odd request. Mayhap you misheard her instructions?

''The player hands over {{i|Momodi's Letter}}.''

'''Katherine:''' You know, you shouldn't encourage them like this. They'll start to ''expect'' it, you mark my words!

===Speaking with Momodi===
'''Momodi:''' They didn't give you any trouble, did they? Good. Now go an' tell Lady Yugiri it's all in hand.

===Speaking with Yugiri===
'''Yugiri:''' I...I dared not hope for such magnanimity, much less expect it! Mistress Momodi is generous indeed... I shall be sure to thank her most humbly.

'''Alphinaud:''' Lady Yugiri, I briefed the Flame General on your situation. I think you will be pleased with his reply.

'''Yugiri:''' We have been granted an audience?

'''Alphinaud:''' Before the sultana and the Syndicate both. We should return to the Royal Promenade at once.

'''Yugiri:''' You have done much for us, Master Alphinaud. I swear we shall return the favor.

'''Alphinaud:''' Naught is owed, Lady Yugiri, for naught has been given. This small favor, you fairly won with your words. And it is with words that you must win the favor of the Syndicate.

'''Yugiri:''' Then I shall choose them with care.

'''Alphinaud:''' You will be accompanying us, yes? Good. Your presence may serve to remind the Syndicate of the true meaning of philanthropy─and that nothing so unpalatable will be required of them, assuming the Domans are willing to earn their keep. Come, the Flame General awaits us on the Royal Promenade.
'''Alphinaud:''' We must take pains to illustrate how accepting the Domans would benefit Ul'dah. Only then might the Syndicate be swayed.

===Speaking with Raubahn on the Royal Promenade===
-optional start
'''Yugiri:''' Bards sing of wars which decided the fates of nations, but a single word spoken within a council chamber is more like to decide that of mine own...

'''Kasasagi:''' If we are all enemies of Garlemald, is it not fitting that we should join forces?

'''Kikyo:''' I have heard that the sultana is a kind and generous ruler. Of the Syndicate, I have heard less flattering things.

'''Teledji Adeledji:''' I wished to greet our guests beforehand and offer my support for their cause. Doman, Ul'dahn, it matters not to me; birthplace does not equate to birthright in mine eyes.
'''Teledji Adeledji:''' I take great pride in my establishments for this very reason. The Platinum Mirage, in particular, serves as a showcase for the talents of countless men and women born beyond our borders.

'''Alphinaud:''' We must take pains to illustrate how accepting the Domans would benefit Ul'dah. Only then might the Syndicate be swayed.
-optional end

'''Raubahn:''' A pleasure, [Forename]. The others are already inside. Let's not keep them waiting.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Yugiri:''' I, Yugiri of Doma, am honored to meet you at last, Your Grace. To mark this auspicious occasion, I should like to present to you the finest treasures our humble nation has to offer...
'''Yugiri:''' Alas, the circumstances which have brought me here today have divested me of both time and dignity. I come before you as a pauper in direst need of aid─to request that you grant my people asylum.

'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I, Nanamo, seventeenth in the line of Ul, welcome you to our city. Be at ease, Lady Yugiri.
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Although I myself have heard the tale of your misfortune, I would ask that you recount it once more for the benefit of the others here present.

'''Yugiri:''' As you wish, Your Grace. For many years, my nation, Doma, suffered under the yoke of imperial rule, and my people yearned to be free. Thus, when a war of succession broke out in Garlemald, we sought to take advantage of the chaos and reclaim our liberty.
'''Yugiri:''' Alas, our enemy proved less preoccupied than we had hoped, and our rebellion was put down in the most brutal fashion.

'''Raubahn:''' Those who survived─how many do they number?

'''Yugiri:''' More than two hundred souls huddle within the cramped confines of our own galleon's hold. Yet this figure accounts for but one of a number of ships which escaped the purge.
'''Yugiri:''' It is my hope that you will allow us all to dwell within your walls. Should that prove unfeasible, however, I humbly ask that you accept as many of my people as your resources allow.
'''Yugiri:''' Pray understand, we do not beg a boon, but propose instead an arrangement. We would serve─as soldiers or tradesmen─until our debt is repaid.

'''Raubahn:''' What are the Syndicate's opinions on this matter?

'''Teledji Adeledji:''' I, for one, think it's a marvelous idea. Lady Yugiri and her people strike me as an industrious lot, and there are parts of the city which have yet to be fully restored. If they are willing to work, I see no reason not to let them.

'''Alphinaud:''' The head of the Mirage Trust is not known for his generosity. He sees profit in this.

'''Raubahn:''' I agree. That said, these are foreign refugees. To admit them would require a formal resolution. Shall we call a vote?

'''Lolorito:''' The law is the law.

'''Teledji Adeledji:''' Lord Lolorito?

'''Lolorito:''' Tell me: are you blind or willfully ignorant? Even now, our streets are choked with the displaced victims of the Calamity and Ala Mhigan refugees.
'''Lolorito:''' They live hand-to-mouth, subsisting on aid provided by the Immortal Flames─the cost of which grows ever higher!
'''Lolorito:''' The wealth of Ul'dah is not without limits, my friends.
'''Lolorito:''' And need I remind you that these refugees are prone to violence and criminal activity? You have all read the reports, I think?
'''Lolorito:''' Without homes or employment, it is only a matter of time before men grow desperate and take that which they imagine has been unjustly denied them. Yet, knowing this, you would have us swell their ranks. Mayhap you think the Brass Blades and the Flames are not hard-pressed enough?

'''Alphinaud:''' Some say the chairman of the East Aldenard Trading Company passes gil thrice daily. This may explain how he came to be the wealthiest man in Ul'dah. Or it may simply be that he's ruthless beyond reckoning.

'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Surely the sultanate can support the few hundred Domans Lady Yugiri represents? That our resources have been taxed I do not deny, but we are hardly in danger of financial collapse.
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I move that an exception be made.

'''Lolorito:''' An exception, Your Grace? I am suddenly reminded of a similar debate some years ago, regarding a number of Ala Mhigan refugees, if memory serves.
'''Lolorito:''' What were your words that day? Ah, yes: “The law is the law.” And so our visitors remained in Little Ala Mhigo.
'''Lolorito:''' Mayhap our wise and benevolent sultana would be so good as to enlighten us as to which other of our laws should not be upheld?

'''Raubahn:''' Mind your tongue, Lolorito.

'''Teledji Adeledji:''' My lord, I share your concern for the welfare of our great nation, but we must endeavor to take a longer view. You know as well as I that people can be a resource still more precious than gil.

'''Lolorito:''' Precious or not, they were never yet so reliable. And unlike those who frequent your establishment, I have no desire to gamble with my future.
'''Lolorito:''' Ul'dah's greatest asset is, and has ever been, her material wealth. We risk this at our peril.
'''Lolorito:''' One need only look to Teledji Adeledji's example for evidence of the danger in allowing sentiment to dictate policy.
'''Lolorito:''' How far the vaunted Mirage hath fallen, both in repute and profitability, since he began employing refugees...

'''Teledji Adeledji:''' How I choose to conduct my affairs is not your concern, my lord!

'''Raubahn:''' A proposal has been tabled. Given its urgency, I move we forgo further debate and call a vote.
'''Raubahn:''' To accept the Doman refugees or not. Those in favor, I bid you remain. Those opposed, I bid you leave.

''Four of the six Syndicate members leave. Raubahn and Teledji stay.''

'''Nanamo Ul Namo: Would that it were within my power to welcome you and your people, Lady Yugiri. As you have observed, however, my authority in such matters is regrettably limited.
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Without the consent of the Syndicate, I cannot act.

'''Yugiri:''' I understand, Your Grace. And I appreciate all that you have done on our behalf.

'''Teledji Adeledji:''' The nerve of the man... If that bastard had not forsaken the eastern trade route, Little Ala Mhigo would now be thriving.
'''Teledji Adeledji:''' That you should have traveled so far, under such dire circumstances, only to be refused in this manner is utterly unconscionable. Pray accept my sincerest apologies.

'''Raubahn:''' Now that the Empire no longer poses an immediate threat, they see little reason to maintain the pretense of unity.
'''Raubahn:''' The Monetarists have grown especially defiant of late─Lord Lolorito most of all.
'''Raubahn:''' But this is neither the time nor place for that discussion.
