==Walkthrough==
※ Solo Duty will commence upon speaking with Alisaie.
===Duty Walkthrough===
This duty is long in gameplay, so it is best to set aside sufficient time (around '''30-45 minutes''') to complete it.
# Opener
#* For the first part of the duty, you will fight as yourself along with Alphinaud, Alisaie, G'raha Tia, Urianger, Y'shtola, Thancred, and Estinien.
#* You will immediately fight a horde of enemies. Once the numbers thin, everyone will split up. Follow Alphinaud and Estinien to start the second part of the duty.
# Telotek Gamma
#* For the second part, you will fight as Alisaie, alongside G'raha Tia. Remember to heal yourself and G'raha Tia when necessary.
#* After defeating the minor enemies, you will fight Telotek Gamma. It will use many AOE circle attacks.
#* When Alisaie is marked with a target, run to the side of the field opposite of G'raha Tia, then run back after the marker is placed on the ground to reduce damage. Heal afterwards.
#* Once Telotek Gamma is defeated, interact with Angelo to initiate the third part of the duty.
# Lunar Odin
#* For the third part, you will fight as Urianger, alongside Thancred and Y'shtola.
#* Focus on healing yourself, your allies and the Confluence. Let your allies damage Lunar Odin.
#* When Y'shtola is chained up, let Thancred damage the chain. Use '''Fixed Sign''' to cast a damage reducing barrier.
#* Following that, Lunar Odin will use circular wide AOE attacks and a rush attack that covers one side of the battlefield. Take care to heal throughout the onslaught.
#* Afterwards, Thancred will get chained up and Odin will target the Confluence. Free Thancred to reduce the damage the Confluence will take. It also helps to cast '''Fixed Sign''' at this point.
#* The fight will then continue as normal, but when Lunar Odin starts casting '''Ultimate Zantetsuken''', he must be defeated before he finishes or else you will fail the duty.
# Lunar Ravana
#* You will then head back to Alisaie and G'raha Tia, this time fighting as G'raha Tia against Lunar Ravana.
#* When adds appear, cast '''Break''' to freeze them in place. Then defeat them quickly before they attack the Confluence.
#* When Lunar nails appear, they cast linear AOE's.
#* When Lunar Ravana is near defeat, he will make himself invulnerable. Cast '''Break''' on Ravana's Will to keep them from moving, and defeat them until Alisaie breaks through his defense.
#* Defeat Lunar Ravana to initiate the final part of the duty, fighting as yourself alongside Alphinaud and Estinien against Lunar Ifrit.
# Lunar Ifrit
#* When Infernal Nails appear, destroy them before Lunar Ifrit casts '''Hellfire'''.
#* Lunar Ifrit will share moves with Lunar Odin in terms of linear and circular AOE's.
#* When Lunar Ifrit is defeated, the duty will be completed.

==Steps==
* Speak with [[Alphinaud]] outside [[the Carline Canopy]].
* Speak with [[Alisaie]].
* Speak with [[Aymeric]].

==Journal==
* Your discussion with Kan–E–Senna is interrupted by the arrival of a flustered sylph bearing urgent news from Xelphatol. It would seem the Telophoroi have marched straight through the Ixal's homeland, scattering all before them, on their way to the Carteneau Flats. Wasting no time, the Elder Seedseer orders the Twin Adders to ready their airships, and bids you join them on their journey to the battlefield.
* Outside the airship port, you are surprised to find Arenvald, whom Fordola has brought all the way from Ul'dah in the hope of speaking with Alphinaud. Your happiness soon gives way to shock, however, when you discover that the youth is now confined to a wheelchair due to the injuries he sustained in the tower at Paglth'an. Having apparently resigned himself to the fact that he can no longer join the other Scions on their adventures, he asks Alphinaud to fight on in his stead and be the hero that he cannot. While these well-meaning words only add to the─largely self-inflicted─weight of expectations with which Alphinaud has been struggling, he seems grateful for the encouragement with battle just around the corner.
* Their numbers bolstered by tempered beastmen and lunar primals, the legions of the Telophoroi test the newly forged Grand Company of Eorzea to its breaking point. As you and your fellow Scions descend upon the field of combat, it becomes apparent that the enemy have set their sights on an aetherial confluence buried deep beneath the ground, though their true designs remain a mystery. Knowing only that they must be stopped, you divide your forces and engage a nigh-endless army of foes, drawing upon hitherto untapped reserves of strength, and succeed at length in driving the Telophoroi hordes from their prize.
* Heart still pounding, you look up to the heavens to find Fandaniel staring down at you intently. Making light of his failure, he declares that while the day may be yours, your efforts have earned you no more than a brief stay of execution, and with that he takes his leave. Whether the Ascian is right only time will tell, but the fact remains that when tested, the Grand Company of Eorzea emerged unbroken, which is surely cause to celebrate in itself. You permit yourself a weary smile, and troop from the field. Soon after, a grateful Lord Aymeric offers to fly you and your comrades back to the Rising Stones─where it becomes clear he has much to discuss.
* Reasoning that the Grand Company of Eorzea can be relied upon to keep the Telophoroi at bay, Lord Aymeric requests that the Scions search instead for a means to neutralize the threat of the towers. Given Sharlayan's preeminence in the field of aetherological research, it is agreed that the solution will most likely be found there; along, perhaps, with knowledge pertaining to the Final Days. Unfortunately, you will not be able to confirm your suspicions until Krile has obtained permission for you all to set foot in the infamously insular nation, and a long wait seems in prospect.
*Sometime later, you accompany Y'shtola and the others on an expedition to investigate the mechanism by which the towers absorb aether, and learn to your dismay that they are draining the lifeblood of the land itself. As you grimly turn for home, you hear an ephemeral voice call out to you and you alone...
* It warns that the end draws nigh...and that the fate of the star is in your hands.
** ※ The next main scenario quest will be available from Alphinaud once you have met the following requirements:
** ※ You must have registered a product key for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker to your service account.
** ※ You must have completed the main scenario quest "Death Unto Dawn".

==Dialogue==
Alphinaud: Throughout my childhood, I remember Grandfather arguing with my father over Sharlayan's policy of nonintervention. And this time, it was my turn to play the role.

Alphinaud: But if even my grandfather could not win him over, what chance had I? If words exist that may sway him, I know not what they are...

Alisaie: With their knowledge, Sharlayan could have done so much for the cause! They could have helped us to uncover the secrets of the towers and save the tempered captives within, and yet─ ''Gods!''

G'raha Tia: The Forum includes representatives from all of Sharlayan's central institutions. With them hindering Krile's investigation, she will struggle to make any headway on her own.

Silent Conjurer: Have you more to discuss with the Elder Seedseer?

Kan-E-Senna: While Sharlayan's stance is indeed disappointing, we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from the challenge before us. There is much and more to be done.

Kan-E-Senna: I shall begin by sharing the Forum's response with my counterparts in the Alliance. Meanwhile, I would ask that the Scions─

Sylph Emissary: (-???-)Grave tidings, walking ones! Grave, ''grave'' tidings!

Kan-E-Senna: Calm yourself, my gentle friend. What has occurred?

Sylph Emissary: These ones who went to see feathered ones send terrible news! Destroying ones have appeared in Xelphatol!

Sylph Emissary: Destroying ones and captured ones and even frightful godly ones! Feathered ones didn't stand a chance and were sent flapping and squawking!

Alisaie: When did this happen!? Is it too late to help them?

Sylph Emissary: Too late, yes, much too late! But luckily, destroying ones were only passing through, and continued on west. Feathered ones who did not fight were left unharmed.

Alphinaud: West... That would be Coerthas.

Keeper of the Entwined Serpents: My lady, the Ishgardians report that the Telophoroi have emerged from the eastern highlands of Coerthas and are marching at speed.

Keeper of the Entwined Serpents: Though their purpose has yet to be determined, the Carteneau Flats would seem their most likely destination. Lord Aymeric has already dispatched his forces, and requests our immediate support.

Kan-E-Senna: Tell him he shall have it. The time is come for the Grand Company of Eorzea to prove its worth.

Alphinaud: Well...mayhap it is a mercy that we do not have time to stew upon our misfortunes. Come, my friends, let us make haste to Carteneau!

Sylph Emissary: W-Wait! This one almost forgot! Destroying ones were said to be led by cackling robed one! This one must see that all walking ones know! Farewell!

G'raha Tia: Fandaniel?

Alisaie: Who else. It was only a matter of time before that grinning maniac showed himself again.

Kan-E-Senna: I shall have an airship readied to bear you to Carteneau. Pray see to your preparations and report to the landing with all haste.

Alphinaud: At once, my lady. Let us away.

Kan-E-Senna: The airship will be ready to depart ere long. I bid you make for the landing as soon as you are able. And may the Twelve keep you.

G'raha Tia: I have apprised our comrades at the Rising Stones of the situation. They will head directly to Carteneau.

Alisaie: Alphinaud has been unexpectedly delayed... But you should probably go and see for yourself. He's by the entrance.

Fordola: Come on. This'll only take a moment, all right?

Alphinaud: [Forename]. It would seem Fordola here has come all the way to Gridania to find us.

Alphinaud: I have explained the situation, but she ''insists'' her business is urgent.

Fordola: Aye, and it'll be over sooner if you shut up and come with me.

G'raha Tia: After Paglth'an, I had assumed the Telophoroi would continue to target settlements, but it is plain they considered Xelphatol a mere obstacle on the road to Carteneau. What, then, draws them to the Flats? ...We must keep a close eye on their movements.

Alphinaud: I rather doubt that Fordola obtained the chirurgeons' permission before bringing Arenvald halfway across the realm.

Alphinaud: ...And solely to deliver a message at that. They should both have known better! But what's done is done...and I will not soon forget his words.

Alisaie: You can tell me later what that was all about, but judging by the set of Alphinaud's jaw, it appears to have done him some good.

Alisaie: Thancred and the others have already left the Rising Stones. And according to the communications officer, Amalj'aa and kobold forces are also bound for Carteneau as we speak.

Alisaie: They mean to keep the promise they made in Ala Mhigo, and we must do the same, by saving as many of their tempered kin as possible.

Alisaie: Anyway, the airship is ready to depart. We should get going.

Y'shtola: Do you see that?

Alisaie: The glyph? Yes. How worried should we be?

Y'shtola: Listen well, and judge for yourself. Though I can see aetherial currents, I had not thoroughly examined those that flow through the heart of Carteneau. But now that I am here, things have become clear.

Y'shtola: The Flats conceal an aetheric confluence, like to the pillars of the Azim Steppe, but greater in scale. Far greater.

Y'shtola: The glyphs that Fandaniel has conjured reach into its very midst...

Y'shtola: ...And I believe I know their purpose. Should the lunar primals destroy them, it would spark a chain reaction with the potential to obliterate the confluence entirely.

Y'shtola: The resultant disruption to the flow of aether would sow chaos among the elements, prompting earthquakes, floods, and tempests large enough to lay waste to the realm.

Urianger: That he would go so far cometh as little surprise. We must needs protect the confluence at all costs.

Alisaie: The tempered that we were able to treat will be taken to the city–states for observation. As soon as the Alliance is satisfied that they're fully recovered, they will be free to return home.

Alphinaud: At the close of the battle, when the clouds parted and the moon shone down on us all...I cannot well express how I felt. Somehow, it seemed more a beginning than an ending.

G'raha Tia: Throughout the battle, I could not shake the feeling that all present were performing for the amusement of Fandaniel.

G'raha Tia: Nor did his blithe reaction to this latest defeat give me cause to think otherwise. I can only conclude that such failures are of little consequence to his broader scheme...whatever it may be.

Thancred: It was decent of Lord Aymeric to bear us home aboard his airship. The gods only know how we would have squeezed this many people onto the ''Bonanza''...

Y'shtola: I will recommend that the Alliance keep a closer watch over Carteneau. The Telophoroi may have failed in their attempt to destroy the confluence this time, but there is naught to stop them trying again.

Urianger: The Carteneau Flats seem fated to play a prominent role in the history of the realm, do they not? I wonder...might the abundance of aether that floweth through the region have led the Allagans to entomb Omega there?

Estinien: Many though the enemy were, their numbers consisted largely of tempered beastmen, with a few lunar primals to keep things interesting. The Garleans themselves ventured little, and lost less.

Estinien: It has ever been the Empire's way to have others fight their battles, but even they would blush at the Telophoroi's use of tempered slaves.

Tataru: You should've seen my face when Lord Aymeric turned up on our doorstep. Did none of you think to send word he was bringing you home?

Aymeric: I trust you all enjoyed a comfortable flight aboard the pride of the Ishgardian fleet? Lest you worry, the ''Bonanza'' has been towed to a nearby location to be retrieved at your convenience.

Thancred: You have thought of everything, Lord Aymeric. And may I say how much I appreciated the hospitality you afforded us on the way home.

Aymeric: Think nothing of it. Our destination lay in the same direction─and it afforded me the perfect opportunity to learn how my errant friend has been since last he took his leave.

Aymeric: It would seem you have finally found a place to settle down.

Estinien: Hmph. I merely grew weary of wandering the Far East.

Aymeric: Returning to more serious matters─while the Telophoroi have been driven from Carteneau, 'tis like that the bulk of their forces yet remain.

Aymeric: On the evidence of the Grand Company of Eorzea's first joint military operation, however, I am confident that we have the potential to meet such threats head-on─even ''without'' the aid of you and yours.

Aymeric: As such, while our forces keep the Telophoroi at bay, I would ask that you apply your talents to the task of neutralizing the towers.

Y'shtola: A sensible division of labor. While the towers remain, so too will the threat of the lunar primals.

Y'shtola: And given our expertise in the field of aetherology, we are better qualified to find the solution.

Thancred: That we are. ''Especially'' should it happen to lie beyond the Alliance's dominion.

Thancred: There is a time and a place for formal investigations, of course, but certain secrets are wont to hide where only enterprising individuals may venture.

Aymeric: I could not agree more. There are none better suited to this task, nor any upon whom I would rather rely.

Aymeric: On behalf of the Alliance, I thank you. We look forward to receiving any information you are able to uncover.

Aymeric: And with that, I must take my leave. Should you have need of assistance, pray do not hesitate to ask. Fare you well, my friends.

Alphinaud: I confess, I had hoped to be able to study the towers more closely, vital as they plainly are to the Telophoroi's plans. If we can discern their ultimate function, we will be one step closer to understanding our enemy's grand scheme.

Alphinaud: Should we succeed in neutralizing them, of course, it is all but certain that the Telophoroi will mount an all-out invasion.

Alphinaud: And then it will begin. The one who awaits at the heart of the chaos will come for us. For ''you''.

Alphinaud: ...Yet in the end, our ''true'' nemesis may be the calamity to end all calamities. The Final Days themselves.

Alisaie: Yes, ''all right'', Alphinaud. We need a plan, not portents. As Thancred so eloquently pointed out, we are in a position to seek information from all manner of places, not least...

G'raha Tia: ...Sharlayan.

G'raha Tia: According to Krile, the Forum have been more secretive than ever of late. While this ''may'' be related to the appearance of the Telophoroi, that remains a matter of speculation.

G'raha Tia: But one thing is clear: the Forum is determined to keep us from discovering the truth. Master Fourchenault's performance at the Lotus Stand was enough to convince me of that.

Urianger: The matter beareth further investigation, I do heartily concur.

Urianger: Nor can I think of a more promising place to look for the answers we seek on the matter of the towers. Sharlayan hath ever been the wellspring of aetherological knowledge.

Estinien: I care not where we go. Here or there, my lance will be ready.

Thancred: And what of you, [Forename]? Might you be persuaded to join us?

Alphinaud: Hear, hear! It is time we laid bare the Telophoroi's dark designs!

Alisaie: Only after I do!

Alisaie: If he and his friends in the Forum think we'll leave them alone if they ignore us, they're in for a shock!

Thancred: To be frank, I myself would sooner plump for a tropical paradise. But Krile does need our help, and who knows where the trail might lead us?

Y'shtola: It appears we are in agreement. We have but to wait for Krile to secure the necessary permissions. In the meantime, there is a matter I would investigate.

Thancred: Does it involve tall structures?

Y'shtola: By strange coincidence, it does. At present, I have only a creeping suspicion, but with your help, I will soon find out whether my fears are warranted.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Hien]] at the [[Kienkan]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*[[Alphinaud]] informs you that a letter has arrived from Lord [[Hien]], and after he helpfully summarizes its contents, you glean that your presence is required at the [[Doman Enclave]]. [[Tataru]] duly promises to mind the fort while you are away, and as you prepare to leave with Alphinaud and [[Alisaie]], you pause to wonder what will unfold across [[the Ruby Sea]]: a declaration of peace between [[Doma]] and the [[The Garlean Empire|Empire]]... or an all-too-predictable return to hostilities.

*You meet Lord Hien at the enclave as planned, only to learn that his letter had omitted mention of a worrying incident involving an ailing [[Gosetsu]]. Upon visiting the bedridden [[samurai]], however, you are relieved to find him well on the path to recovery. [[Yotsuyu]], meanwhile, seems much the same as when you last saw her -- a child in a woman's body.Some time later, a tale told by [[Yugiri]] convinces Lord Hien that Yotsuyu's plight is genuine, and he decides to allow her to live out her days in Doma as "Tsuyu." The only obstacle remaining is to present proof of her condition to [[Asahi]], and with this in mind, your allies agree to rendezvous at the enclave docks.

*After and uneventful wait by the skiff, a breathless Lord Hien rushes into view, and it is plain that something is amiss. It seems that Yotsuyu has left the safety of the [[Kienkan]], and according to the testimony of the [[Enclave Skiff Captain|skiff captain]], she has already crossed the [[The One River|river]]...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===

'''Alphinaud''': Ah, [Player], impeccable timing. We have just received a letter from Lord [[Hien]].
'''Alphinaud''': He writes that the [[Doma]]ns are coordinating their efforts with the [[Kojin of the Blue|Blue Kojin]] to maintain a constant watch over the [[Kojin of the Red|Red]].
'''Alphinaud''': By staying on the lookout for signs of crystal hoarding and the like, they mean to nip any summoning attempts in the bud, thereby satisfying the conditions for peace set down by the ambassador.
'''Alphinaud''': For the [[Garleans]]' part, the [[The Populares|Populares]] have sent word that a vessel bearing Doman conscripts is soon to arrive in [[Yanxia]]. 'Twould seem that the prisoner exchange is to proceed as planned.
'''Alphinaud''': Lord Hien requests your presence, and I share his view that you should be on hand at this critical juncture.
'''Alisaie''': According to the letter, [[Yotsuyu]]'s memory has yet to return, so it looks like she'll be living out the rest of her days in Doma -- assuming the ambassador means to honor the agreement, of course.
'''Alisaie''': Before we get to that, however, I think it would be wise to assess her condition one last time. If the Domans have missed any change in her mental state, however slight, it would be better if [[Asahi]] weren't the one to spot it.
'''Alphinaud''': Agreed. Let us make straightways for the [[Doman Enclave|enclave]], then. Lord Hien will be waiting.
'''Alphinaud''': I trust you will cope in our absence, [[Tataru]]?
'''Tataru''': Don't worry about me -- I'll be fine! Just be sure to come back safely!
'''Tataru''': [[Alphinaud]]'s been keeping a ''very'' careful count of his coins lately. I doubt he'd ask for a sip of water without asking the price first! Hee hee hee!
'''Hancock''': I am very much in favor of a peace agreement between Doma and the Empire. Loosen that imperial grip, I say, and let the trade routes breathe freely!

===At the Kienkan===
'''Kienkan Guardsman''': Lord Hien is expecting you. May I show you in?
'''Alphinaud''': We know the broad strokes from his letter, but I would hear the details of our Doman friends' progress from Lord Hien himself.
'''Alisaie''': Ever since he drained our coffers dry buying that sword, Alphinaud has had his purse strings in a death grip. I can't even buy a cup of tea without him going on about the "dangers of frivolous spending."
'''Hien''': Ah, I see my letter reached you across [[the Ruby Sea]]! Thank you for coming so swiftly.
'''Hien''': Though I wrote at some length on the subject of the forthcoming exchange, there was one other matter I neglected to mention...
'''Hien''': It concerns [[Gosetsu]]. As you may have observed, he returned from his ordeal rather the worse for wear, and despite his best efforts to conceal his condition─or perhaps because of them -- he recently collapsed.
'''Alphinaud''': Good gods! Is he all right!?
'''Hien''': Confined to bed and grumbling without cease, but he has shown signs of recovery. He made me promise not to tell you, lest you worry unduly. Which was all very well when you weren't here.
'''Hien''': Now that you ''are'', however, I think it high time he received some visitors. Might you spare him a moment? Yotsuyu has scarce left his side, and I imagine you are curious to see what has become of her as well.
'''Alphinaud''': We will visit him at once. [Player], [[Alisaie]] -- shall we?
'''Yotsuyu''': Open wide, now...
'''Gosetsu''': Please, Tsuyu. I am not so frail that I cannot feed myself.
'''Gosetsu''': Ah, I grow weary of the taste of gruel...
'''Yotsuyu''': You don't like it? Can I fetch you something else?
'''Gosetsu''': Aye. Wine! Or if that is not "wholesome" enough -- I don't know... a sweet persimmon from [[Namai]]? I enjoyed them in my youth.
'''Yotsuyu''': A persimmon.
'''Gosetsu''': Nay, pay me no mind -- I am full. Besides, we have guests.
'''Alisaie''': I hope we are not interrupting your meal. We had heard you were confined to bed, and thought you might welcome some visitors.
'''Gosetsu''': Confined to-- A gross exaggeration!
'''Gosetsu''': A trifle drained from my exertions, perhaps. But with a little rest, I shall be fighting fit again in no time!
'''Yotsuyu''': Take off your clothes.
'''Alisaie''': Gosetsu! Is this how you've been spending your time!?
'''Gosetsu''': My lady, I assure you, this is not--
'''Yotsuyu''': Off with them. We need to wash you -- you stink! (''Alphinaud laughs loudly'')
'''Yotsuyu''': What are all these scars? There are so many of them...
'''Gosetsu''': A life of battle will leave its mark upon a man... (''Yotsuyu has a flashback and shakes her head'')
'''Gosetsu''': Is something wrong, Tsuyu?
'''Yotsuyu''': It's nothing. I'm fine.
'''Gosetsu''': Bah, leave me be, woman! I will not be fussed over like some newborn babe! (''Alphinaud and Alisaie chuckle'')
'''Hien''': They make a convincing pair, do they not? On first acquaintance, I would think him a doting grandsire and her a model grandchild.
'''Alphinaud''': Indeed. Had someone told me a year ago that I would live to bear witness to such a scene, I would have declared them mad. That aside, I am relieved to see Gosetsu has lost none of his spirit.
'''Alisaie''': But what a turn of events... I mean, for ''her'' to suddenly be watching over ''him''. You couldn't make it up. Although I suppose Gosetsu ''is'' an old man. With the way he charges through life, it can be easy to forget...
'''Hien''': Aye, he has resisted decrepitude with the same defiance he showed the enemies of Doma.
'''Hien''': But no matter how adamant his will, no man can carry on forever. He has pushed himself beyond the limits of endurance too many times -- even if his health returns, the fact remains: he will never again be the warrior he once was.
'''Hien''': He has given his all for liege and land, and we will ask no more.
'''Alisaie''': And what of his nurse? If Yotsuyu is feigning ''that'' -- well, she certainly has me fooled.
'''???''': This is no pretense.
'''Alisaie''': [[Yugiri]]. Out of all of us, I would think you the hardest to convince. So... what makes you so sure?
'''Yugiri''': I have been spying on Yotsuyu from the shadows -- waiting for the misstep that would betray her charade for what it was.
'''Yugiri''': But her mask has never slipped. Not once. She has remained in character from the first. One evening, I watched her as she sat in her chambers, unguarded and alone...
'''Yugiri''': She had taken the dishes from the cupboard, and was pretending to prepare dinner right there on the tatami. A child's game.
'''Yugiri''': Even the wariest shinobi would not go to such lengths. I can but conclude that her mind is truly broken.
'''Alisaie''': ...Well, that's good enough for me -- and everyone else, I would hazard.
'''Hien''': Aye, the matter is settled. Yotsuyu will become "Tsuyu," and begin a new life here in Doma.
'''Hien''': Before that can happen, however, we will need to present her to the ambassador one last time, to prove that her memory is truly gone.
'''Hien''': But I would not risk parading her in front of our returning conscripts. Her presence at the exchange would only stir up mutinous thoughts.
'''Alisaie''': Understandably. She as good as fastened the chains around their necks.
'''Hien''': Aye -- which is why I mean to conclude this business with Tsuyu first, out of the sight of my countrymen. Will you help me?
'''Alphinaud''': We are at your service. There is no higher purpose than the pursuit of peace.
'''Hien''': My thanks. The Garleans are on their way, and we must prepare to welcome the ambassador. We will meet you at the docks with Tsuyu.
'''Hien''': The skiff will take us to our meeting with the ambassador. We will join you at the docks once preparations have been made.
'''Yugiri''': Even after weeks of surveillance, it was difficult for me to accept that Yotsuyu's condition was genuine... But not as difficult as accepting Gosetsu's affection for her.

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Alisaie''': Can you imagine Yotsuyu playing with bowls on the floor? I don't know that we can think of her as the same person anymore...
'''Alphinaud''': Shall we wait here, then? Lord Hien should not be long.
'''Hien''': My friends! Have you seen Tsuyu!? She is nowhere to be found!
'''Alphinaud''': ''What''? But the Garleans will be landing in a matter of moments!
'''Alisaie''': If she's fled... Could it mean her memories have returned?
'''Hien''': I know not. Yugiri is scouring the streets as we speak, but it is possible Tsuyu has left the enclave altogether.
'''Hien''': [[Enclave Skiff Captain|Captain]] -- a word. Did you perchance carry a fair-skinned woman across the [[The One River|river]]?
'''Enclave Skiff Captain''': A fair-skinned woman, my lord? I... I do not rightly know... I think-- Y-Yes! Yes, my lord! Now that you mention it, there ''was'' a lady among the passengers whom I do not recall having seen before.
'''Enclave Skiff Captain''': Her face was hidden by the brim of her hat, but I remember taking her hand to help her onto the boat. White as new-fallen snow, it was... Was she someone important, my lord? Have I done something wrong?
'''Hien''': Wrong? ...No. No, I was merely hoping to catch our guest before she departed. Be at ease, Captain.
'''Hien''': 'Twould seem that Tsuyu has crossed the river. Kami help me... No good can come of this.

==Dialogue==
===Speak with Yusui===
'''Yusui:''' You! Yes, ''you''. Do you know of the Ruby Price - the fortress in the middle of the Ruby Sea from which the bakufu soldiers survey the surrounding waters? The other day, we found one of their men stowed away on a ship we confiscated. With a bit of coaxing, he eventually confessed to doing some underhanded trading with the Red Kojin on behalf of his superior. Seems he thought he could avoid paying the Ruby Tithe by hiding aboard someone else's ship, but no one gets away with crossing our waters free of charge. As such, I am looking to track down this superior of his and have him compensate us. If I try to sail the Ruby Price and look for him myself, however, I'll be blasted to smithereens before I even make it halfway there. Do you think you could go in my stead? There is a man by the name of Ikaruga there. He is an old friend and should be able to identify who our captive's superior is.

===Speak with [[Ikaruga]] at [[the Ruby Price]]===
'''Ikaruga:''' Ah, yes. Just the other day one of the soldiers deserted base. I suspect he is the man Yusui is after. Trade with foreign countries is strictly prohibited by our nation. The man, upon learning his subordinate disappeared feared he would be caught and turned tail and ran. If, what you told me is true, he likely went northwest of here to seek asylum with the Kojin of the Red. I am tempted to go after this man myself. Alas, that would require me receiving the necessary authorization, which could take days. Please, track him down and arrest him in my stead. If he resists, feel free to kill him.

===Confront the [[Bakufu Traitor|bakufu traitor]]===
'''Bakufu Traitor:''' I would have to be a fool to agree to go with you! I am so close to the Red Kojin's settlement - so close to freedom!

===Report to [[Ikaruga]]===
'''Ikaruga:''' Ah, so it seems he forced your hand. Perhaps his death was for the best. I will send word of all that has happened to Yusui, though I am not sure he will be happy to hear it....Ah, you are curious to know how I will inform him? That, my friend, is a secret. <wink>

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

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

*Speak with Ser [[Aymeric]].

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

*Enter [[Sohr Khai]].

*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[Category:Dragonsong War quests]]
==Dialogue==
===Speak with Alphinaud===
'''Alphinaud:''' Though I expected no better answer from Vidofnir, I take little pleasure from having been proven right. 'Twould seem that our presence at Zenith will be every bit as unwelcome as I had anticipated. But what is the ire of one great wyrm to a trio of self-confessed fools such as ourselves? Let us begin our ascent.
'''Aymeric:''' After you, Master Alphinaud.
'''Alphinaud:''' Scout ahead if you wish, [Forename]. We shall join you outside Moghome!

===Speak with Ser [[Aymeric]] outside [[Moghome]]===
'''Aymeric:''' I had heard tales of the world above the clouds, but never did I dream... One's mind paints a pale picture of its majesty.
'''Alphinaud:''' Few live to see such wonders. I am reminded of my first visit to this peak, when Estinien and Ysayle yet walked at our side...
'''Churning Mists Moogle:''' Kupopo? Is that you, [Forename]?
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, if it isn't Mog... Mog... uh...
'''Churning Mists Moogle:''' Don't tell me you've forgotten my name, kupo!? After all we've been through together! (''turns to Warrior of Light''). But at least ''you'' remember me! You...you ''do'' remember me, don't you, [Forename]?
'''Warrior of Light:''' (How could I forget you, Moglin! / Of course I do, Moghan! / Apologies, friend, but all moogles look the same to me...) -> Of course I do, Moghan!
'''Churning Mists Moogle:''' Phew! You seemed a bit hesitant for a moment there! But i'm sure you were just fondly recalling the time we camped near Zenith, right, kupo? But putting our shared history to one side, what brings you and your friends to Moghome, kupo? (''Warrior of Light motions''). Ah, another audience with old Hraesvelgr... Well, I hope you've brought the horn, kupo! With the winds as gentle as they are, a good loud toot should reach the great wyrm's ears easily enough!
'''Alphinaud:''' That is good to hear, Moghan - thank you. We had best press on to Zenith, while the winds are in our favor.
'''Moghan:''' Now that was unexpected, kupo. Chieftain Moglin will want to hear about this!

===Blow the horn on the top floor of [[Zenith]]===
'''Hraesvelgr:''' You dare summon me again, mortals?
'''Alphinaud:''' Great Hrasevelgr, 'tis not lightly that we beg this audience. Pray hearken to our words, for they concern the future of man and dragon both.
'''Aymeric:''' Greetings, Hrasevelgr. I am Aymeric de Borel, acting ruler of the nation of Ishgard. I am come before you to parley on behalf of my people.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' ...to ''parley''? Thinkest thou thy purpose unclear to me? Thou art come to beg mine aid in the battle against the shade of my brood-brother.
'''Aymeric:''' You...foresaw mine intent.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' I but read that which is writ plain in thine eyes. Would that thou had wit enough to scry the answer in mine. My beloved Shiva did once build a bridge 'twixt man and dragon - a bridge which thy treacherous forefathers saw fit to tear down, as thou well knowest. (''Warrior of Light looks down''). Thinkest thou Nidhogg was alone in despairing at the murder of our brood-sister? Thinkest thou mine own soul did not cry out for vengeance? Know then that upon that accursed day, my heart did wither in my breast, and thy kind became unto me harbingers of despair. 'Tis only Shiva's gentle dream that preventeth me from flying at Nidhogg's shoulder. Be grateful that I swore to abjure aggression ere I consumed her. I permit my children to offer or deny thee aid as they see fit; to warn thy people of my brood-brother's coming. That thou wouldst dare ask more of me but affirmeth thine incurable arrogance.
'''Alphinaud:''' We understand that in your despair at man's betrayal, you seek only the refuge of solitude. But despite your protestations of spent faith, do you not still nurture the smallest flame of hope?
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Perceivest thou such light in the dusk of mine existence?
'''Alphinaud:''' I do. If you claim I see falsely, then tell me: why did you consent to bear Ysayle upon your back?
'''Hraesvelgr:''' (''closes eyes briefly''). Ysayle... Piteous, deluded Ysayle. The child did lament her past sins, and sought to balance the scales with her remaining days. 'Twas her unquenchable passion, so alike to that of my beloved, which did spur me into flight. And for mine own part, I would countenance no longer the hands of evil men to use my brood-brother's eye for ill.
'''Alphinaud:''' So you do distinguish between those who acknowledge and repent their sins, and those who perpetuate them. Interesting. It seems to me that oyu have not, in fact, lost faith i mankind as a whole. Rather, you weigh our respective merits by how we allow the past to influence our future.
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Spare me thine idle sophistry. Even were there a mote of truth in thy reasoning, what of it? Wouldst thou have me slay mine own sibling to save a city of mortals?
'''Aymeric:''' Should we suffer ties of blood to bind our hands then? Nay. If the crime is one of unconscionable evil, we must needs condemn it - even should the transgressor be our closest kin. When my father corrupted himself and his followers with the power of a primal, I beseeched the Warrior of Light to slay him - an act alike to patricide. That he did not die by my hands matters little - if anything, it heaps greater disgrace upon my name. But had my father not fallen, he would have drawn countless thousands into a holy war of hellish proportions - which I hold the greater crime. Thus did I order his execution, sparing the lives of my people and yours. Alas, your brother wyrm now prepares to murder those whom I sought to spare. What is more, he has taken my comrade's body for his own - but if I must slay my dearest friend to defeat my direst foe, I will not flinch fro my duty!
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Thou wouldst strike down thy friend and, by example of thy righteousness, persuade me to break mine oath and kill my kindred?
'''Midgardsomr:''' Heed me, my child. The servants of Hydaelyn envision a different outcome. They intend salvation not only for Ishgard, but for the doomed dragonslayer as well. Believest thou this shade to be Nidhogg returned? Is it not merely a manifestation of his vengeance - the shadow cast by thy blood-brother's rage? I would not command thee, but ponder well thy course lest it lead thee unto greater remorse...
'''Warrior of Light:''' ( While this shade of vengeance remains, the future will ever be uncertain. / Help us save our companion / ...) -> While this shade of vengeance remains, the future will ever be uncertain.
'''Hraesvelgr:'' (''eyes close briefly''). Nidhogg's transformation into rage incarnate is, in part, of mine own doing. I rendered unto him mine eye, and empowered his revenge thereby.... But 'tis the purity of my blood-brother's wrath that lendeth him his all-surpassing might. Hast thou the strength of will to stand against so terrible a shadow, I wonder? 'Twould seem I must put thee and thy companions to the proof. I shall await thee in the ruins wherein Ratatoskr once dwelled. Heed well the words of my children, and hasten thee to the place of thy trial!

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

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

(clicking to queue for Sohr Khal)
'''Imperious Wyvern:''' Great Hrasevelgr honors you with this trial. Prepare to be sorely tested...

===Post Battle===
'''Hraesvelgr:''' Even bereft of an eye, my brood-brother was a fearsome foe indeed. But having tasted thy strength firsthand, I do begin to see how thou didst bring him low. Hydaelyn chooseth Her servants well. Very well. I shall trust in the seed of man one last time. By thy deeds shall the flickering hope that lingereth yet within my heart be kindled anew...or extinguished forever. That you yet stand is ready proof of your determination, mortals. Let us fight as allies, then, and together banish my brood-brother's vengeful shade. On my oath, the wrath that once more was Nidhogg shall meet its end! This I swear on the memory of my beloved Shiva, and on the soul of lost Ysayle...

===Speak with Alphinaud===
'''Alphinaud:''' Oh...ohhh... Oh, my poor ribs... That was a painful reminder of a great wyrm's might....
'''Aymeric:''' And had he truly meant us harm, we would not be standing here now. Plainly his intent was to teach. His onslaught forced me to recall my training - about the speed of the dragon, his balance, his blind spots.... It was, in short, a very thorough lesson.
'''Moglin:''' Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow...kupo. [Forename],let me begin by congratulating you on the completion of your trial. For one with a name more befitting a jester, you fight with the savagery of a rabid demon. Do you see how my wings are kinked? Even my pom aches! After this drubbing, I fear my loyal subjects will have to bear the load of my personal chores for quite some time, kupo. Possibly indefinitely.
'''Moghan:''' What!? When I told you about [Forename]'s trial, I didn't mean for the ''rest of us'' to suffer...
'''Moglin:''' ...That's ''triple'' shifts for you, Moghan.
'''Moghan:''' <splutter> ''Triple''!? But that's not fair!!! There's no justice, kupo... None at all! (''Aymeric and Alphinaud shrug'')

'''Alphinaud:''' Our negotiations proved rather more strenuous than I had anticipated, but the results seem well worth the effort.
'''Aymeric:''' The battle was indeed hard-won. Thank you, my friends - I would never have earned Hraesvelgr's cooperation had you not seen fit to grant me yours. 'Twas your stalwart heroism that moved the great wyrm at the last. Any gratitude I can offer is but poor reward for your continued service to Ishgard.
'''Alphinaud:''' 'Twould seem our final reckoning with the dread wyrm is at hand. I only wish we had some inkling as to when he means to strike. Oh gods!
'''Midgardsormr:''' The cry heraldeth is coming. Nidhogg's shade hath taken wing.
'''Aymeric:''' It has begun. We must away to Ishgard!

==Journal==
*[[Tataru]] has been preparing a surprise for [[Y'shtola]] in anticipation of her return, and needs your help to finish it. She bids you retrieve two items in her stead -- one from [[Geva]] at the [[Leatherworkers' Guild]], and another from Brother [[E-Sumi-Yan]] at the [[Conjurers' Guild]].

*You have obtained the two items Tataru requested. Deliver them to her at [[the Carline Canopy]].

*Tataru receives the two items with thanks, and together you go and pay Y'shtola a visit. You arrive at the [[inn room]] to find your comrade awakened, and a touching reunion takes place. Back on her feet and briefed on the situation, Y'shtola flatly states that she lacks the knowledge to build an aetheric ram. However, she knows someone who could: her former master, [[Matoya]].

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Tataru:''' Y'shtola is resting within an inn room. though she's still unconscious, the signs are positive.
'''Tataru:''' The conjurers say she is in sound health and should awaken before long! Isn't that wonderful?
'''Tataru:''' Now, while we wait for Y'shtola to wake up, I thought I'd take the opportunity to finish my little surprise for her.
'''Tataru:''' It's something I've been working on for a while now, in the hope that she'd one day return to us. It wants for just a couple more items before it's ready.
'''Tataru:''' I've already placed orders for these items. Could I ask you to retrieve them for me? One is with the Leatherworkers' Guild and another is with the Conjurers' Guild. Speak with Mistress Geva and Brother E-Sumi-Yan, and they ought to take care of you!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Alphinaud:''' Without the Seedseers' aid, Y'shtola may have been forever lost to us. I shall go to the Lotus Stand to offer them my heartfelt thanks.

'''Tataru:''' Please fetch the items I ordered. One is with the Leatherworkers' Guild and another is with the Conjurers' Guild. Speak with Mistress Geva and Brother E-Sumi-Yan, and they ought to take care of you!

===Speaking with Geva at the Leatherworkers' Guild===
'''(If Warrior of Light did not unlock Leatherworker job)'''
'''Geva:''' What is it? I am a busy woman, so be quick about it. If you wish to place an order, speak with Randall.
... Hm? Here to retrieve an order for Mistress Tataru, you say?

'''(If Warrior of Light have unlock Leatherworker job)'''
'''Geva:''' Well, if it isn't [Forename]. Looking for some hides to tan, mayhap?
... Hm? Here to retrieve an order for Mistress Tataru, you say?

'''(Both)'''
'''Geva:''' You come at a good time—I finished it but moments ago. It was no small coup working it to her specifications, but I did it nonetheless. Payment has already been settled.
'''Geva:''' However did that girl come by chimerical hide, anyway? You need either balls of steel or a bottomless coinpurse, and it seemed to me she had neither.

===Speaking with E-Sumi-Yan at the Conjurers' Guild===
'''(If Warrior of Light did not unlock Conjurers job)'''
'''E-Sumi-Yan:''' You are come to Stillglade Fane, the home of the Conjurers' Guild. How may I assist you?

'''(If Warrior of Light have unlock Conjurers job)'''
'''E-Sumi-Yan:''' Greetings, [Forename]. I trust you have been well. Is there aught you require of me?

'''(Both)'''
'''E-Sumi-Yan:''' Ah, yes, Mistress Tataru's order. As requested, it has been sanctified in the sight of the elementals.
'''E-Sumi-Yan:''' I know not what she intends for the staff, but it is a most singular artifact. Even one possessed of my experience would struggle to wield it.

===Delivering the items to Tataru at the Carline Canopy===
'''(Optional, upon returning to Tataru)'''
'''Alphinaud:''' The Seedseers are gracious souls. It gives me heart to know that they are our allies.

'''Tataru:''' Ah, you're back! You have the items, I hope?
'''''<Hand Over Tataru's Leatherwork Commission and Tataru's Conjury Comission>'''''
'''Tataru:''' ...Oooh, it's precisely as I requested - a perfect match for the other pieces! Truly, Geva is a master among masters!
'''Tataru:''' And the staff completes the surprise! Thank you so much, [Forename]!
'''Tataru:''' Tee hee, I can't wait to see what Y'shtola thinks of the surprise!
'''Tataru:''' Lest you wonder, she's doing very well, and the conjurers have left her in her sister's care. Let's go and pay them a visit, shall we?

===Post turn-in Cutscene===
'''Tataru:''' Y'shtola! I'm so glad you're back!

'''Y'shtola:''' Tataru...
'''Y'shtola:''' You are safe... Thank the Twelve.
'''Y'shtola:''' Something has changed about you, Alphinaud. Or mayhap the change is with me? I seem to sense the aether around me more keenly than before.

'''Alphinaud:''' I am pleased to see you well again. Do you feel strong enough to talk?

'''Y'shtola:''' Worry not. I am well enough.

'''Alphinaud:''' Tell us, then- what befell you before you fled the feast? We were told that there had been a tunnel collapse.

'''Y'shtola:''' That was my doing. I brought the tunnel down that you and Minfilia might escape.
'''Y'shtola:''' At the last moment, I invoked a teleportation magick in hopes of spiriting Thancred away, at least. Needless to say, it did not go quite as planned, and I found myself adrift in the Lifestream.
'''Y'shtola:''' The others—where are they? Did they not escape?

'''Alphinaud:''' They remain unaccounted for. You are the only one we have been able to find.
'''Alphinaud:''' I am truly sorry. It was the Crystal Braves who pursued you that day—my hubris that led to our undoing.

'''Y'shtola:''' No apologies are necessary, Alphinaud - you are not to blame for what occurred. Know that were our comrades here, they would commend you for keeping the light of hope alive.

'''Tataru:''' Don't...don't worry! The others are alive and well, I'm sure of it! We just need to find them!

'''Alphinaud:''' Indeed, Tataru. Let us find our friends and rebuild the Scions.

'''Y'shtola:''' Ha! There is the Alphinaud I remember—and I feel much the better for his return! 'Tis time I arose!

'''Tataru:''' That reminds me! I have a change of clothes for you! I don't like to boast, but I made them myself. I learned how to weave while we were in Ishgard, you see.

'''Y'shtola:''' Tataru has apprised me of all that took place in the aftermath of the assassination plot. It would seem I have been away for some while.

'''Alphinaud:''' Yes, much and more happened during your absence. At present, we seek to follow the archbishop to Azys Lla.

'''Y'shtola:''' And you want for some manner of aetheric ram to pierce the floating isle's protective barrier.

'''Alphinaud:''' We do. Might you be able to furnish us with one?

'''Y'shtola:''' A means to prise open a hole in an Allagan barrier - and one large enough to admit an airship, no less...Hm...Nay. I lack the knowledge to devise such a weapon.
'''Y'shtola:''' ... But I know of one who could.
'''Y'shtola:''' A leading figure in the field of aetheric research, and one of the finest scholars ever to grace Sharlayan—Matoya, my former master.
