{{Dialogue|<nowiki>

-optional start
Namikka: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for you to get involved in this.

Iyaate: If the Dustwatch can't be bothered to do their jobs, they can piss off!
-optional end

Erenville: Alright, let's go and recover that bracelet.
Erenville: While I have nothing but contempt for these bandits, as this involves a gift from Wuk Lamat, we must be mindful how our actions might reflect upon her.
Erenville: I doubt Namikka would find joy in the return of said gift if lives were taken in the process.
Erenville: If it comes to violence, I ask that you stop short of killing them. The rest, we can leave to the Dustwatch.

Iyaate: Well now, that makes me think you're strong. Really strong. Are you?

Question: What will you say?
> I may have saved the star on one occasion.
Iyaate: You saved the star!? That's a bold claim to make, but if true, that certainly speaks to your strength!
> No more than any other adventurer.
Iyaate: Aren't we humble now? But the matter-of-fact way you say it makes me think it's a tremendous understatement.
> ...
Iyaate: L-Lest you misunderstand, I'm not questioning your abilities. As a matter of fact, that silence is the sort of response I'd expect from a peerless warrior!
---

Erenville: If your curiosity has been sated, then please indulge mine─is there anything you can tell us about these bandits?

Iyaate: Let's see...
Iyaate: Well, of late there's been talk about some unsavory types coming and going from Tonatenyawi to the southwest.

Namikka: Is that the old mining town that was abandoned?

Iyaate: That's the one. Now that ceruleum extraction is big business, no one wants to waste their time picking at the dried-up veins there.

Erenville: Sounds like a perfect lair for bandits─not to mention that the one with the bracelet fled in that direction.

Iyaate: So you'll be investigating the place? I can let the Dustwatch know, if you like.

Erenville: No, not yet. It would be best if we went alone.
Erenville: There's something I'd like to ascertain. If you've no objections?
Erenville: Right then, let's be off.

-optional start
Namikka: If you sense trouble, promise me you'll put yourself first.

Iyaate: You find those bandits and you beat 'em bloody, you hear?
-optional end

Erenville: It seems the bandits have claimed this place for themselves.
Erenville: They've made no attempt to conceal their presence. How can the Dustwatch not have noticed by now?
Erenville: A question for another time. First, we must find the bracelet.
Erenville: I don't see the bandit who had it. Perhaps they're in one of the buildings.
Erenville: Ramshackle as they are, it should prove a simple thing to eavesdrop on anyone inside.
Erenville: If you would go and have a look about, I'll keep watch for trouble.

-optional start
Erenville: The bandits who took the bracelet may be in this building. Have a listen and see what you can find out.
-optional end

===Cutscenes===
System: The bandits will not notice you here. You can safely eavesdrop on any inside.
System: As you lean in to listen, you begin to pick out voices in the muffled chatter...

Brash Bandit: ...Dunno where we'd be without him. Probably shoveling sand, praying we'd strike it rich.

Ratty Bandit: Ain't that the truth. Only an idiot would work the mines with easier money to be had.
Ratty Bandit: Not when we've got a boss who can keep the Dustwatch off our backs, hah!

Brash Bandit: Hey, watch what you say! The wind's got a way of carrying secrets to the wrong ears.
Ratty Bandit: Maybe so, but who'd ever believe one of them sainted souls was running our crew?

Brash Bandit: That drunk who bought your story about the gold-shitting alpaca, am I right?

Band of Bandits: Hahahahaha!

System: The bandits will not notice you here. You can safely eavesdrop on any inside.
System: As you lean in to listen, a familiar voice rings out through the wall.

Zekowa: Let me out of here, you bastard!

Nettled Bandit: Shut your mouth, you sniveling little brat!

Zekowa: Make me! I'll get you all back for framing my friends!
Zekowa: The Vulture most of all! You tell him he can eat shit!

Nettled Bandit: Heh. How about we give you the chance to tell him yourself? We'll see how tough you are then.

System: The bandits will not notice you here. You can safely eavesdrop on any inside.
System: As you lean in to listen, you hear someone entering the room on the other side.

Craven Bandit: I've brought back a prize you're gonna love, boss!
Craven Bandit: Have a look at this bracelet─beautiful, ain't it? Bet it was made by a famous artisan!

Ruthless Ringleader: You idiot! How are we supposed to move something like this without attracting attention!?

Craven Bandit: Boss, please! Please! I-I'm sorry!

Ruthless Ringleader: <sigh> Reckon we could find a sailor who won't ask questions. Sell it for a song.
Ruthless Ringleader: Here, your reward. And don't bring me this kind of grief again.

Craven Bandit: I-I won't, boss. Thank you.
===End Cutscenes===

Erenville: Finished, are you? Let's retreat for now.

===Cutscene===
Erenville: So, were you able to learn anything?
Erenville: Their leader is a man of the Dustwatch!?
Erenville: That would explain why these bandits have been able to do as they please. And you say they gave the bracelet to him?
Erenville: It seems we have our work cut out for us. Did you hear anything else of note?
Erenville: Zekowa? That's the boy who confronted one of the officers in town, isn't it?
Erenville: And you say they threatened to take him to speak with “the Vulture”? Their leader's alias, no doubt.
Erenville: Fitting for a man who preys on the helpless.
Erenville: Well then. Not only do we have a better idea of who's behind the recent rash of robberies in Hhusatahwi, but we also know he has the bracelet.
Erenville: Retrieving it without bloodshed will prove difficult, though, if he's that quick to point a gun at his own underlings...

Question: What will you say?
> We need to get him alone.
Erenville: You're right. If we confront him with his henchmen around, a violent outcome is all but guaranteed.
> I'll storm their hideout-I can take them!
Erenville: The direct approach may have served you well in the past, but it won't suffice here. Wihuwte is the deputy chief of the Dustwatch. He can claim we're the criminals in all of this, and no few people would believe him.
---

Erenville: Hmmm... I might have a plan.
Erenville: There's a small settlement to the southeast of here─Luwateninyawawsa. Meet me there and I'll explain everything.

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>

Erenville: I should like to think the stableman has arrived with the rroneek by now...
Erenville: I'll go on ahead to check. If you still want to have a look around, then be my guest. Come and find us when you've had your fill.

-optional start
Erenville: Now that I think on it, this is the first time I've traveled with only a single companion. It makes for fewer complications.
-optional end

Good-natured Stableman: The friend, I take it? Sorry to have kept you both waitin'.
Good-natured Stableman: Unruly wildlife's not the only source of recent distress, I'm afraid. Also been a rise in robberies targetin' merchants. As a result, we've got a lengthy list of folks wantin' to use our rroneek.
Good-natured Stableman: Which is why I have to ask that you stop at Sheshenewezi Springs.

Erenville: That's fine, of course, but why haven't the Dustwatch dealt with this banditry?

Good-natured Stableman: Kemakka and his fellows are doin' what they can, but they reckon the bandits are operatin' as a gang. Roundin' 'em all up's easier said than done.
Good-natured Stableman: If you have anythin' of value, you'll want to take care.

Erenville: Thank you for the warning. We'll be sure to stay vigilant.
Good-natured Stableman: Right, then. If you're ready to set off, I'll see you on your way.

-optional start
Erenville: This is your first time riding, yes? Even so, I can't imagine it will prove difficult for you.
-optional end

Good-natured Stableman: Ready? Then saddle up. Your friend seems to know the way, so I won't bother givin' you directions.

===Rroneek Chatter===
Erenville: This is your first time, so let's take it slow. Take care not to let it toss you.
Erenville: I continue to be struck by how much Shaaloani has changed.
Erenville: That town we just visited wasn't even here several years ago...
Erenville: With few reliable opportunities to replenish water supplies, travelers turned to nopalitenders.
Erenville: Not just for the water in their stems, mind. Their fruits are also said to be both nutritious and delicious.
Erenville: See that hole there? Some might hope to find water there, but it is brimming with ceruleum.
Erenville: The eruption of flames from within make for a spectacle, inspiring cautionary tales of people who wandered too close.
Erenville: The Whalaqee, meanwhile, show great reverence to ceruleum and its blue flames...
Erenville: ...But that is a discussion for another time. We're here.
Erenville: A good thing for these rroneek.

===Cutscene 1===
Erenville: No sooner did we dismount than the next passengers are already on their way. They really are short on rroneek.
Erenville: Now, then...
Erenville: This is Sheshenewezi Springs, perhaps the busiest town here in Shaaloani. People travel here from all over hoping to find their fortune.
Erenville: The change come to Hhusatahwi was surprising enough, but this is no less impressive. They've achieved a great deal in the three years I've been away.
Erenville: The station is on the eastern side of town, but there should still be time before the next train departs.
Erenville: If you don't mind, I'd like to pay visit to an old friend of my mentor.
Erenville: Iyaate is her name, and if she learned that I passed through without saying a word, she'd never let me hear the end of it.
Erenville: She set out from our village some ten years ago, hoping to earn coin as she traveled about Tural. I can but assume she too came here seeking greater opportunities.
Erenville: In any case, let us see if we can find her. Her blue hair should make her easy to spot.
===End Cutscene===

===Cutscene 2 ===
Iyaate: Hm? Yes, I'm Iyaate. And who might you be?

Erenville: [He/She] is my friend.

Iyaate: Could it be...? Goodness, it is!
Iyaate: Elene─

Erenville: Erenville, yes.

Iyaate: A man grown. You were such a darling little thing as a child.

Erenville: You know, it's only been three years since last we spoke.

Iyaate: Really? Only three? I suppose it all starts to get hazy after a while, living as long as we do.

Erenville: Well, this is Iyaate. She's known my mentor since they were children.

Iyaate: Nice to meet you.
Iyaate: Never thought I'd see the day when you travel with company. You really have grown,
Elene'shpya!

Question: What will you say?
> Elene... what now?
> Is that what they call you here?
---

Erenville: Alright, alright... I was born Elene'shpya, I adopted a new name when I became a gleaner-one that adheres to eastern Viera conventions-so as to avoid drawing attention.
Erenville: Given that this is a homecoming, it was only a matter of time before you found out. Nevertheless, I would appreciate it if you would continue using my chosen name.

Iyaate: A homecoming? You know, I've been thinking of paying the old stamping grounds a visit myself. It would be good to see Cahciua again.
Iyaate: She's the finest archer I know, Elene'shpya's mother and mentor. Every time I dropped by, she'd treat us to a veritable feast prepared with fresh game she'd hunted herself.

Erenville: You're impressive with the bow too, Iyaate. Even among the Shetona.

Iyaate: Oh, I couldn't compare to Cahciua. But her skill at arms pales in comparison to her knowledge of nature.
Iyaate: That's what earned her a place among Gulool Ja Ja's traveling companions, after all.
Iyaate: She was always the inquisitive sort, but her journey across Tural lit a fire in her.
Iyaate: Even after Elene'shpya was born, she often left him in my care so that she could embark on another expedition in search of the unknown.
Iyaate: Oh, how you would cry and beg her to take you along. It must've been hard on you.

Erenville: Iyaate, please!

Iyaate: What? We're all friends here, aren't we?
Iyaate: No matter how many times he asked, the answer was always the same. “You can come when you prove you're a true explorer.”

Erenville: Thus did she task me with finding the golden city.
Erenville: Despite my best efforts, all paths led nowhere. I assumed it was but a dreamer's fancy, a ploy to goad me into experiencing the wider world.
Erenville: But it was real. And we found it.

Iyaate: You found it!?

Erenville: As part of the rite of succession. I assumed everyone had heard.

Iyaate: That's amazing! Oh, she'll be thrilled.

Erenville: And eager to bombard me with questions, no doubt.
Erenville: Well, we should be on our way.

Iyaate: Thank you so much for stopping by. Give my best to Cahciua.

???: Help! I need help!

Iyaate: What's that about?

Erenville: We'll investigate. Please wait here.

===Cutscene 3===

Erenville: No doubt these are the infamous local bandits.

Namikka: Please, you have to help! I've been robbed!

Erenville: It's Namikka, Wuk Lamat's nursemaid!

Namikka: Erenville! Maringar!

Hhetsarro Bandit: Come any closer and we'll slit her throat from ear to ear!

Erenville: If you so much as nick her skin, you won't live to regret it.
Hhetsarro Bandit: Oh yeah!?

Tonawawtan Bandit: Hold on. Did he say this is Wuk Lamat's nursemaid? Maybe this ain't such a good idea...

Hhetsarro Bandit: Take the goods to the boss. We'll deal with this.

Namikka: Please, you have to give it back!

Erenville: I'm going after Namikka. This lot I leave to you.

Tonawawtan Bandit: Cocky bastard! I'll hang 'im by the ears and feed the old woman to the dogs!

Hhetsarro Bandit: We can deal with them later. First, we need to put this one in the dirt.

===End Cutscene===

-optional start
Erenville: No need to worry. She's fine.
-optional end

===Cutscene 4===
Namikka: Thank you. I don't know what I would've done without you.
Erenville: The bandit managed to get away, but I have an idea of where they're headed.
Erenville: You said they stole something from you?
Namikka: A bracelet. It was a parting gift from Wuk Lamat.
Erenville: I see... Close as you two were, I can only imagine how much it meant to you.
Erenville: But what brings you all this way?
Namikka: With the rite of succession ended, and Wuk Lamat crowned the next Dawnservant, she is ready to stand on her own.
Namikka: I told her as much, and of my plans to return home to Yyasulani. She gave me the bracelet that I might always remember our time together.
Namikka: It filled me with such joy, I wanted everyone to know─everyone to see this wonderful gift given to me by the Vow of Resolve... And now it's gone.
Namikka: I would've let them take every coin to my name, if only they had left me that bracelet.
Erenville: I would ask what you intend to do, but I know that look.

Question: What will you say?
> We're getting that bracelet back.
Erenville: I can assure you, no harm will come to us. [Forename] will make certain of that.
> I'll knock them senseless. It's what Wuk Lamat would want.
Namikka: Please, you mustn't put yourself in harm's way for my sake.
Erenville: I can assure you, no harm will come to us. [Forename] will make certain of that.
---

Erenville: I understand your methods can be brutal, but it would be wise to show some restraint, lest you find yourself on the wrong side of the law. Perhaps I should come as well, to be sure all proceeds as it should.

Namikka: I don't know what to say... I can see why Wuk Lamat puts so much faith in you both.

Erenville: Before anything else, let's see her back to Sheshenewezi Springs. She'll be safer in town, and with Iyaate there to keep an eye on her, we should have nothing to worry about.

Namikka: Thank you. Both of you.

-optional start
Namikka: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for you to get involved in this.

Erenville: A number of Iyaate's mining fellows are here as well. Namikka is in good hands.
-optional end

Iyaate: Erenville told me what happened, and you needn't worry about Namikka. If those bandits should find us, I'll kick up a fuss and see them driven off.
Iyaate: That bracelet meant everything to her, and those bastards wouldn't care even if they knew. Makes me sick.
Iyaate: But at least she's safe, and I know you'll set things right.

Erenville: As part of the rite of succession. I assumed everyone had heard.

Iyaate: That's amazing! Oh, she'll be thrilled.

Erenville: And eager to bombard me with questions, no doubt.
Erenville: Well, we should be on our way.

Iyaate: Thank you so much for stopping by. Give my best to Cahciua.

???: Help! I need help!

Iyaate: What's that about?

Erenville: We'll investigate. Please wait here.

===Cutscene 3===

Erenville: No doubt these are the infamous local bandits.

Namikka: Please, you have to help! I've been robbed!

Erenville: It's Namikka, Wuk Lamat's nursemaid!

Namikka: Erenville! Maringar!

Hhetsarro Bandit: Come any closer and we'll slit her throat from ear to ear!

Erenville: If you so much as nick her skin, you won't live to regret it.
Hhetsarro Bandit: Oh yeah!?

Tonawawtan Bandit: Hold on. Did he say this is Wuk Lamat's nursemaid? Maybe this ain't such a good idea...

Hhetsarro Bandit: Take the goods to the boss. We'll deal with this.

Namikka: Please, you have to give it back!

Erenville: I'm going after Namikka. This lot I leave to you.

Tonawawtan Bandit: Cocky bastard! I'll hang 'im by the ears and feed the old woman to the dogs!

Hhetsarro Bandit: We can deal with them later. First, we need to put this one in the dirt.

===End Cutscene===

-optional start
Erenville: No need to worry. She's fine.
-optional end

===Cutscene 4===
Namikka: Thank you. I don't know what I would've done without you.
Erenville: The bandit managed to get away, but I have an idea of where they're headed.
Erenville: You said they stole something from you?
Namikka: A bracelet. It was a parting gift from Wuk Lamat.
Erenville: I see... Close as you two were, I can only imagine how much it meant to you.
Erenville: But what brings you all this way?
Namikka: With the rite of succession ended, and Wuk Lamat crowned the next Dawnservant, she is ready to stand on her own.
Namikka: I told her as much, and of my plans to return home to Yyasulani. She gave me the bracelet that I might always remember our time together.
Namikka: It filled me with such joy, I wanted everyone to know─everyone to see this wonderful gift given to me by the Vow of Resolve... And now it's gone.
Namikka: I would've let them take every coin to my name, if only they had left me that bracelet.
Erenville: I would ask what you intend to do, but I know that look.

Question: What will you say?
> We're getting that bracelet back.
Erenville: I can assure you, no harm will come to us. [Forename] will make certain of that.
> I'll knock them senseless. It's what Wuk Lamat would want.
Namikka: Please, you mustn't put yourself in harm's way for my sake.
Erenville: I can assure you, no harm will come to us. [Forename] will make certain of that.
---

Erenville: I understand your methods can be brutal, but it would be wise to show some restraint, lest you find yourself on the wrong side of the law. Perhaps I should come as well, to be sure all proceeds as it should.

Namikka: I don't know what to say... I can see why Wuk Lamat puts so much faith in you both.

Erenville: Before anything else, let's see her back to Sheshenewezi Springs. She'll be safer in town, and with Iyaate there to keep an eye on her, we should have nothing to worry about.

Namikka: Thank you. Both of you.

==Steps==
*Speak with the Landsguard gate sentry.
*Speak with [[Erenville]].
*Speak with Erenville again.
*Speak with Erenville once more.

==Journal==
*Erenville is ready to set off.
*For you and Erenville, the time has come to embark on a new adventure in the northern reaches of Tural. To that end, the gleaner bids you speak with the sentry standing near the gate leading out of the city. Once you show him your travel pass, you can be on your way.
*You present your travel pass to the sentry, who proceeds to open the gates and grant you and Erenville passage to Xak Tural. On the other side of the great bridge you find arid wilds stretching out before you. Thus do you begin your journey into Shaaloani with Erenville as your guide.
*Erenville believes traveling by train will be the swiftest way to reach his home, Yyasulani, and he suggests riding rroneek to the station. Thankfully, there is a stable nearby where you should be able to secure mounts.
*The stablekeep regretfully informs you that he does not have rroneek to spare for your trip. At least, not at present. He wishes to see you safely to your destination, and so he asks that you wait a short while until he can prepare mounts for the both of you. To pass the intervening time, Erenville suggests going to the nearby town of Hhusatahwi.
*No sooner do you enter town than the commotion from a nearby tavern draws your attention. Two men step outside, one chasing after the other, and their heated exchange seems likely to escalate into violence until the timely intervention of a familiar bystander, Estinien. You and the dragoon exchange pleasantries, but he departs as quickly as he arrived, leaving you and Erenville to reflect upon recent events.

==Dialogue==

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>

Erenville: Ready to get underway?
Erenville: Then present your travel pass to that guard, and let us be off.
Erenville: You won't have to wait long to enjoy sightseeing. The bridge to Xak Tural is a wonder in its own right.

Landsguard Gate Sentry: This gate is barred to all save those with express permission from one of the Dawnservants.

===Voiced Cutscene 1===
Erenville: Shall we, then?

System: On the far side of the great bridge unfolded the wilds of Shaaloani-"where the sun guides" in the Shetona tongue.
System: A harsh guide, to be sure, with it's blazing rays scorching the land and hardening its inhabitants.
System: But sweeping change had come to the arid expanse when, beneath it' red crust, vast deposits of ceruleum were discovered.
System: Embracing this opportunity, Vow Koana's supporters hurtle on, driven by dreams of a future illuminated by blue flame.
System: It is here that our journey continues, our path taking us along wending roads of steel. Each length of track a declaration of hope-and ambition.

Erenville: My home, Yyasulani, lies past Shaaloani.
Erenville: It will be a long journey, but the railroad should make it easier.
Erenville: As for the way to the train station, let's ride these fellows, shall we?

===End Cutscene===
Sunbaked Stablekeep: Well, what have we here?

Tsanaya: We get a whole lotta people travelin' through here on their way to and from the city. Never a dull moment for me or the rroneek.

Erenville: Short on rroneek?

Sunbaked Stablekeep: 'Fraid so. If one'll suffice, I have a creature ready and waiting.
Sunbaked Stablekeep: But if you need two, then you'll have to wait.
Sunbaked Stablekeep: The rroneek have been actin' strangely of late─more easily spooked and otherwise disagreeable. Pickin' out the few fit for rentin's provin' bothersome work.

Erenville: They're usually so docile, and the ones I saw earlier didn't appear to be unhealthy, either. But much has changed since last I was here...
Erenville: Not the best start to our journey.
Erenville: Still, the train station isn't far. Seeing as we aren't in a hurry, let's go on foot.

Sunbaked Stablekeep: About that, sir. As well traveled as you look, it's not only the rroneek that've been givin' us trouble. Other wildlife have shown signs of aggression, too.
Sunbaked Stablekeep: A merchant should be returnin' soon with one of our beasts. Stick around till they do, and I'll see you both on rroneek for a safer trip.

Question: What will you say?
> Actually, I may be a little concerned...
Sunbaked Stablekeep: As well you should. Glad to see at least one of you's got some sense.
Erenville: ...You're enjoying this, aren't you?
> But the rroneek,Erenville. The rroneek!
Hahaha! If this is your first time in Shaaloani, I can understand your enthusiasm, it'd be a shame not to ride at least one while you're here.
A fair point, if we're to give you the "authentic Shaaloani experience," I suppose it's worth the wait.
> Whatever gets us where we're going faster.
System: Please select answer.
---

Erenville: Right, change of plans. There's a small town nearby. We can pass the time there while waiting.

Sunbaked Stablekeep: Take it you're headin' to Hhusatahwi, then. I'll have a man bring the rroneek over there.
Sunbaked Stablekeep: Just mind yourself around the drunkards and troublemakers, eh?

-optional start
Sunbaked Stablekeep: Won't take long, rest assured. Keep an eye out for a man in Hhusatahwi with two rroneek.
-optional end

Erenville: Last time I was here, it was little more than a camp with a shop or three.

===Voiced Cutscene 2===
Erenville: Well, well... It's become a proper town.

Hot-headed Youth: Now hold on a minute!

Erenville: Some sort of trouble?

Hot-headed Youth: I'm talking to you, you old bastard!

Frustrated Gentleman: Give me strength...
Frustrated Gentleman: For the last time, the investigation is closed. There's no refuting the evidence.

Hot-headed Youth: I don't give a shit about your evidence, you lying scum! You release my friends, or I'll make you wish you had!

Frustrated Gentleman: Let me remind you who the scum is here.
Frustrated Gentleman: Your friends, who had the temerity to point their firearms at me, the deputy chief of the Dustwatch.
Frustrated Gentleman: And after taking them into custody, what should we discover but incontrovertible proof that they had committed larceny.
Frustrated Gentleman: They will not be released until they've paid for their crimes.

Erenville: I'd heard a peacekeeping force had been formed to deal with growing lawlessness. Seems the situation is bad indeed.

Tipsy Man: Still kicking up a fuss, eh? Sounds like poor Zekowa needs his bottle.

Blustering Hhetsarro: Sure he wouldn't prefer his mama's teat?

Zekowa: Treat me like a child, will you!? My friends haven't done anything wrong, damn it! They've been framed!

Frustrated Gentleman: Stubborn little runt...
Frustrated Gentleman: Listen here, Zekowa. If you want to be treated like an adult, then you'd best comport yourself like one. That means respecting the rule of law.
Frustrated Gentleman: Order may be precarious here in Shaaloani, but it can be had if each man does the right thing. And for those that don't, well─they have to answer to the Dustwatch.
Frustrated Gentleman: Now run along, and think before you cast aspersions next time.
Frustrated Gentleman: Lest you hurt my feelings.

Zekowa: Fine... If that's how it's gonna be...

???: I wouldn't if I were you.

Erenville: Is that...?

Estinien: There's a time to fight and a time to withdraw. For you, that's now.

Zekowa: What?

Concerned Hhetsarro: Hey!
Concerned Hhetsarro: What are you doing, Zekowa? You better not be stirring up trouble!

Zekowa: Wihuwte, you sack of rroneek shit! This ain't over, you hear me!?

Concerned Hhetsarro: You want to tell me what that was about?

Wihuwte: Nothing that need concern you, sir. Zekowa is simply struggling to come to terms with the low character of his friends.
Wihuwte: But for good measure, I'll have the men keep an eye on him.
Concerned Hhetsarro: Yes, you do that.
Wihuwte: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go make my rounds.

Estinien: I wasn't expecting to see your faces among the crowd.
Estinien: Talk is rife there's a new Dawnservant. I take it you've found it, then─the golden city.
Erenville: Aye, the contest is over. And as I needed to return home to Yyasulani, I offered to show our friend some of Xak Tural.
Erenville: What brings you north?
Estinien: Nothing in particular. Just seeing what there is to see.

Question: What will you say?
> Going wherever the wind blows, eh?
> How very like you.
---
Estinien: Gulool Ja Ja compensated me rather generously for our duel. I'll be able to enjoy a comfortable life on the road for the foreseeable future.
Estinien: But for now, I shall be moving on.
Estinien: Oh, by the way─I recommend you try the sabotender. They may not look it, but they're surprisingly delicious.

Erenville: But...we don't serve sabotender here.
===End Cutscene===

Erenville: No sooner do we set out than we run into excitement... At least no one was hurt.
Erenville: This Dustwatch has their work cut out for them. For as long as I can remember, all disputes big or small were settled by dueling.
Erenville: The peoples of Shaaloani rarely saw eye to eye. And for better or worse, it was the simplest way to settle differences.
Erenville: Since most would sooner not risk their lives, though, it encouraged parties to pursue peaceful resolutions in a roundabout fashion.
Erenville: The Dustwatch was likely established by supporters of Koana, preferring peace be enforced through the formal rule of law.
Erenville: A reasonable stance, all things considered. If things ever got out of hand, the Landsguard would be forced to step in. What freedom they have now would be lost under Zoraal Ja's authority.
Erenville: All of which is to say that, unless a lengthy stay in a jailhouse appeals to you, be mindful of how you handle your arms in town.

System: A new Aethernet destination is now accessible:
Xak Tural Skygate (Shaaloani)

*Speak with [[Hunmu Rruk]] while accompanied by Wuk Lamat.
*Speak with [[Krile]] while accompanied by Wuk Lamat.
*Speak with [[Erenville]].

==Journal==
*Krile is brimming with pride.
*As you recount the more dramatic points of the ascension ceremony, [[Wuk Lamat]] comes to join you. A well-intentioned "Dawnservant" later, and she reminds you of how little she enjoys titles. You and your comrades are like unto family, she says, and as such, should call her "Lamaty'i." Swept up in the happy moment, Wuk Lamat invites you to accompany her as she thanks her supporters gathered in the city.
*First on the list of supporters to meet with are [[Wuk Evu]] and [[Mablu]], who were spotted at Aunt Tii's Tacos. Wuk Lamat insists she has not prioritized them for the purposes of acquiring celebratory snacks, but whether this proves true remains to be seen.
*You find Wuk Evu, Mablu, [[Tobli]], and [[Linuhanu]] in good spirits and enjoying the finest tacos in Tuliyollal. Mablu and Tobli provide updates from [[Urqopacha]] from alpaca health to commemorative discounts, while Linuhanu reminds Wuk Lamat of her promise to attend Ihih'hana. Wuk Evu, predictably flustered by Wuk Lamat's new title, eventually settles down long enough to offer his services as a tutor regarding the cultures and customs of communities in [[Xak Tural]]
*You Come upon two [[Yok Huy]], a Moblin, and an Elezen artisan in the Bayside Bevy--an eclectic group of familiar faces. Wuk Lamat echoes the promises she made in her ascension speech to [[Gurfurlur]] and [[Zurmurwur]] regarding the Chirwagur, and while they predict change will take time, they are nevetheless optomistic. Meanwhile, Rakorok chats animatedly about cooperation and Fonjeantaine seems to have found inner peace.
*Hunmu Rruk, Zereel Ja, and Miilal Ja are gathered on the Gornitruq Gleamsands. The Xbr'aak Rax contrulates Wuk Lamat with all due formality, but there is no concealing the pride in his eyes. With an apologetic smile, Miilal Ja explains that Bakool Ja Ja left early, unready to face his new Dawnservant. Just as notably absent in Ketenramm, though it is noted that he has always been somewhat mercurial in his appearances.
*Having spoken to everyone she could, Wuk Lamat suggests the two of you head back to the Winged Walk.
*After a journey that spanned an ocean and half a continent, Wuk Lamat has defied the odds and become Dawnservant of Tuliyollal. She would have you remain by her side in an official capacity to help guide the nation into a brighter future--but adventurers are not wont to linger in a single place for long, and you have yet to explore the northern reaches of Tural...
*So it is that you bid farewell to your other travelling companions and join Erenville at the Xak Tural skygate. What adventures wait for you beyond, only time will tell.

==Dialogue==

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>

-optional start
Alphinaud: The Head of Reason was very wise indeed to devise something so elaborate and meaningful as the rite of succession. 'Tis a shame he could not be here to bear witness to the end.

Alisaie: A bittersweet celebration to be sure, but I'm glad Wuk Lamat finally got the recognition she deserves.

Erenville: She might have told someone what she was planning...
Erenville: But Wuk Lamat does not act without the best interests of her people in mind.
-optional end

===Cutscene 1===
Krile: Wuk Lamat has truly come into her own, has she not?

Alphinaud: Indeed. Even as she moved the people with her heartfelt words, she retained her characteristic spontaneity─as evidenced by her nomination of Koana as fellow Dawnservant.

Erenville: As sudden as it was, I would like to believe she gave it all due consideration.

Alisaie: She could do far worse. Koana completed every feat except the last, and that he only forfeited to help Wuk Lamat secure victory.

Krile: I look forward to seeing how Tuliyollal will prosper under their care.

Wuk Lamat: Everyone, thank you for coming!
Wuk Lamat: I could see you all perfectly from up there.

Alisaie: That was an impressive speech, Dawnservant.

Wuk Lamat: I told you─no titles!
Wuk Lamat: Besides, after everything we've been through together, you're nothing less than family.
Wuk Lamat: So...like my family does, I'd like you to call me Lamaty'i.

Question: What will you say?
> It'd be my honor, Lamaty'i
Wuk Lamat: Thank you. It means a lot to me.
Krile: It would also be my honor to call you Lamaty'i.
> I'll try to pronounce it correctly!
Wuk Lamat: Oh, don't worry about that. However you say it, I know it'll be with love.
Krile: If we do mispronounce it, please correct us, but...
Krile: It would be my honor to call you Lamaty'i.
> ...
Wuk Lamat: Come on, say something would you? We already have Erenville for the mocking silences!
Krile: I think you've simply caught our friend off guard.
Krile: Personally, it would be my honor to call you Lamaty'i.
---

Alisaie: Mine as well.
Alphinaud: Indeed. Consider us your Eorzean cousins, if such a notion appeals to you.

Wuk Lamat: Eorzean cousins...
Wuk Lamat: It's a little embarrassing...but not in a bad way!
Wuk Lamat: There's still lots I'd like to say, but I need to make my rounds first.
Wuk Lamat: I want to thank my supporters who're visiting for the occasion. Could you wait for me here?

Krile: Of course. We'll keep ourselves entertained.

Wuk Lamat: That said, would you join me, Maringar?
Wuk Lamat: Wonderful! Come and meet me outside the Winged Walk, then.
===Cutscene end===

-optional start
Erenville: She'll always be “Wuk Lamat” to me. No matter how important she gets.

Krile: Don't worry about us! Go on and have fun with Wuk La─er, Lamaty'i!

Alisaie: Lamaty'i... Lamaty'i? Hmm...

Alphinaud: I don't believe I saw Ketenramm in attendance. Did you?
-optional end

Wuk Lamat: Ready? Let's go.
Wuk Lamat: Our first stop is Aunt Tii's Tacos─and not just for a snack, I promise. Wuk Evu and Mablu should be there.

-optional start
Wuk Lamat: Of course, since we'll be at Aunt Tii's Tacos anyway, we might as well pick up some snacks as well, right?

Linuhanu: Ohokaliy!
Linuhanu: These tacos are delicious! Though no doubt even tastier if topped with reeds...

Tobli: It's been a while since I've made it to the capital. I'm glad to find it so lively.

Mablu: Dawnservant Wuk Lamat! Oh, she was marvelous up there, wasn't she? I simply wept with joy!
-optional end

===Cutscene 2===
Wuk Evu: Dawnservant Wuk Lamat. Words cannot well express the profound joy your ascension has brought me.

Wuk Lamat: No need for formalities. I'm still the same old me.

Wuk Evu: All right, then. I shall forgo formalities.
Wuk Evu: Argh, but I cannot! You are Dawnservant! Too disrespectful it is to address you without your due title!

Wuk Lamat: As Dawnservant, I'm ordering you not to bother with formalities!

Wuk Evu: All right, then. I won't bother anymore.

Tobli: I could more easily converse with a drunken alpaca.

Mablu: Thank you for helping Wuk Lamat become Dawnservant, Maringar!
Mablu: Political opinions in our community may have been divided, but a Dawnservant's ascension presents us all with a prime opportunity. Which is why I convinced everyone to participate in a commemorative sales campaign!
Mablu: A wonderful plan, no? My first big undertaking as a merchant!

Linuhanu: I do like the sound of a sale! ...So long as I'm not persuaded to buy too much.

Wuk Lamat: It's so good to see all of you again. I wanted to personally thank each of you for your help.
Wuk Lamat: The Feat of Reeds and the Feat of Gold were my first true tests as a claimant. If not for your guidance, I would have failed the rite of succession before I fully understood its importance.
Wuk Lamat: Now that you've given me a taste for celebrating culture, I can't wait to see what else Tuliyollal has to offer. In Xak Tural, for instance!

Wuk Evu: As always, you must observe proper etiquette. I would be happy to offer my services as a tutor, should you desire them.

Wuk Lamat: I can think of no better instructor! I'll be sure to bring Koana as well.

Linuhanu: Your duties as Dawnservant will be plentiful─but don't forget your promise to attend Ihih'hana next season.

Wuk Lamat: Of course! I wouldn't miss it.

Mablu: When I've made a name for myself as a merchant, I'll come by the palace and tell you all about my biggest sales!

Wuk Lamat: Hehe, I look forward to it!

Tobli: I have been personally attending to your alpaca's care. Dare we hope to see you at the ranch again?

Wuk Lamat: Hehe, tell my fluffy, spit-filled friend that Wuk Lamat will visit soon.
Wuk Lamat: Anyway, you'll have to excuse us. Oh─you haven't seen Fonjeantaine around here, have you? A tall, slim fellow with long pointy ears.

Wuk Evu: I saw a man matching that description by the weapons dealer in Bayside Bevy. In the company of a Moblin and a pair of Yok Huy, if I remember correctly.

Wuk Lamat: Bayside Bevy─got it!
Wuk Lamat: Enjoy the festivities, everyone. And the tacos!
===End cutscene===

-optional start
Wuk Evu: We could not have asked for a finer Dawnservant.

Mablu: Then it's settled─the Dawnservant Dedication Day Discount is hereby in effect!

Tobli: The First Promise's golden alpaca is as spirited as ever. Too spirited, if you ask me.

Linuhanu: I hope Dawnservant Koana will join us for Ihih'hana as well.

Wuk Lamat: Sounds like Fonjeantaine has made new friends. Which should make him easy to find!

Zurmurwur: The citizens behold the High Luminary with awe. No doubt few have seen one of his station...or his stature.

Gurfurlur: I have not come to Tuliyollal in quite some time...

Rakorok: Pfff... Kohhh... Potfriend! Rakorok is grateful for this meetagain!
-optional end

===Cutscene 3===
Fonjeantaine: Wuk La─er, Dawnservant! Maringar! You honor us with your presence!

Wuk Lamat: Thank you for coming, everyone! I know the journey to Tuliyollal isn't a short one.

Rakorok: Pfff... Pfffkohhh... Longroad worth the travel to congratulate new Dawnservants!

Gurfurlur: To hear the Head of Reason has passed brings me sorrow, but we who remember him will ensure he lives on. May the accolades of this day be as offerings to the future he envisioned.

Zurmurwur: The High Luminary and I attend on behalf of Worlar's Echo. Had our people come en masse, we would have been an obstruction.

Wuk Lamat: Nonsense! You're always welcome─all of you! This is your city as much as anyone's!

Fonjeantaine: I'm glad to see you hale and whole, Maringar. Though I know little of the particulars, I can only imagine your latest adventure has been both long and...colorful.
Fonjeantaine: Beginning with near shipwreck, if you'll remember! Yet here we stand, celebrating the ascension of your claimant.

Wuk Lamat: When my journey began, I thought only of preserving the peace that my father worked so hard to create.
Wuk Lamat: But the Feat of Pots, the Feat of Proof, and the Feat of Ice showed me that peace is not simply the absence of war.
Wuk Lamat: Being able to live together in safety and happiness─that was what my father envisioned for this nation. That's the Tuliyollal I want for you all.
Wuk Lamat: So I promise you this─as Dawnservant, I will do everything I can to bring that same happiness to the bandits in Kozama'uka and the Yok Huy of Chirwagur Saltern. I won't forsake them.

Gurfurlur: As I was moved by your father's influence, so too may the Chirwagur come to accept your peace.

Zurmurwur: Their beliefs have stood for a millennium. While not easily shifted, neither are they immutable.

Wuk Lamat: Heh! Well, I can be pretty determined. They'll come around eventually, mark my words!

Fonjeantaine: I can vouch for the efficacy of such determination. Thanks to the Moblins' hospitality, I have been able to rediscover the joy of my craft and honor my father's legacy.

Rakorok: Pfff... Kohhh... Now that goodliving is secure, the village overflows with feelsmiles! Such cooperation between helphands and potsworn is the very spirit of a healthy potpact.

Wuk Lamat: A partnership like yours is bound to be fruitful. I look forward to seeing the fantastic pieces you produce!
Wuk Lamat: There are some other people I'd like to see, so we should take our leave. Let's try and find Hunmu Rruk.

Zurmurwur: The Xbr'aax Rax? I believe I saw him on the sands below.

Wuk Lamat: The Gleamsands! Thank you.
Wuk Lamat: Enjoy your time in the city! And remember─this will always be your home too.

===End cutscene===

-optional start
Fonjeantaine: Come and visit us in Earthenshire! Rakorok and I should be glad to welcome you.

Rakorok: Pfffkohhh... Rakorok is excited to see how the new Dawnservants will handhelp Tuliyollal. This city will be as one big happypot!

Zurmurwur: Before the ceremony, we perused the Tuliyollal Saga on Morrow's Measure. I am proud to see Yok Huy glyphic traditions so prominently displayed in the city.

Gurfurlur: I must pay my respects to Gulool Ja Ja, though he will doubtless insist upon a bout...

Miilal Ja: What a wonderful variety of foods and flavors they have here... I must be sure to bring some home for the others.

Zereel Ja: You must think my attendance incongruous to such an auspicious occasion. Yet as Autarch of Mamook, I have a duty to represent the goodwill of my people.
-optional end

===Cutscene 4===
Hunmu Rruk: My, my. You honor us with a personal visit, Dawnservant. Congratulations upon your ascension.

Wuk Lamat: No, no, none of that. My title may have changed, but I'm still just Wuk Lamat.

Hunmu Rruk: More than “just,” I'd say. You have grown into a leader fit for this nation. Your father must be proud.

Wuk Lamat: I hope so. But...big events like this make me wonder, you know? What my birth parents might say if they knew.

Hunmu Rruk: ...I imagine they would say that it fills their hearts with joy to see the strong, compassionate woman you have become.
Hunmu Rruk: I owe you my thanks as well. For fulfilling your promise to me.

Miilal Ja: I told Bakool Ja Ja to stay with us so we could all congratulate you in person.
Miilal Ja: But he marched off, muttering something about not being able to face you just yet.

Zereel Ja: The boy needs purpose. Purpose beyond catering to the demands of others. He was always too obliging for his own good...

Wuk Lamat: I'm sure he'll find it in his own time. Especially if he knows his family is there for him.

Zereel Ja: ...That we are.

Wuk Lamat: By the by, have you seen Ketenramm anywhere? Er, Tankwa, that is!

Miilal Ja: Ketenramm, was it? A strong name...if a bit exotic.
Miilal Ja: We called upon him before leaving Mamook, but he wasn't at home. I don't recall seeing him at the ceremony either.

Hunmu Rruk: The First Promise was notably absent as well. Though I assumed he required time to salve his injured pride.

Wuk Lamat: Everyone thought he'd be the one to succeed Papa. My victory must have come as quite a shock to him.
Wuk Lamat: As for Tankwa, I'm sure he's around here somewhere. Or ready to appear when we least expect him.
Wuk Lamat: We'd best be going, but relax, enjoy, and make yourselves at home! And come and visit us any time!
Wuk Lamat: All right, I think I found everyone I could find. Let's return to the others in the Winged Walk!
===End Cutscene===

-optional start
Zereel Ja: More than a few of Mamook's citizens have expressed new interest in moving to Tuliyollal. I will confer with Dawnservant Koana to ensure their transition is a smooth one.

Miilal Ja: I've heard there's another shop that serves delicious tacos. I'd love to try them...

Hunmu Rruk: Wuk Lamat may have realized her goal, but I hope you will continue to be a friend to her.

Wuk Lamat: Let's head back to the Winged Walk. Everyone's waiting!

Erenville: There are rumors that Gulool Ja Ja may go on pilgrimage now that he's no longer Dawnservant. Though I'm sure the transition process will keep him in the capital for some time yet.

Alisaie: Oh, you're back! Erenville was just regaling us with stories of Lamaty'i from when they were little.

Wuk Lamat: What, the one about the taco? It was basically clean when I found it─or no, the one about Papa's feathers!? Look, I didn't know where else to wipe my nose, and I was too little to know better!

Alphinaud: Gulool Ja Ja stopped by to offer his thanks for our support.
Alphinaud: He also bade me extend his gratitude to you for assisting a concerned father? I'm not sure what he meant by it, but I assume you do.
-optional end

Krile: Welcome back. I hope you didn't rush on our account.

===Voiced cutscene 5===
Alisaie: Seen everyone you wanted to see?

Wuk Lamat: I have. Sorry for keeping you all.
Wuk Lamat: Now, there's just one last matter. What Koana spoke to you about.
Wuk Lamat: I'm sure he made it abundantly clear, but I'm completely serious.
Wuk Lamat: I want you to stay in Tuliyollal with me.
Wuk Lamat: ...I'm not forcing you, of course. But should you wish it, you'll always have a place here.
Wuk Lamat: Ah, that's right. This is for you.
Wuk Lamat: A permit granting passage to Xak Tural, which as I recall, you've yet to see.
Wuk Lamat: An adventurer like you could hardly resist, no?
Wuk Lamat: I can't believe our journey is over already!
Wuk Lamat: You accepted me as a comrade and stood with me to the end.
Wuk Lamat: You have my eternal gratitude. Thank you.
Wuk Lamat: Well, I had better get going. I need to start learning all my official Dawnservant duties.
Wuk Lamat: I'll be sure to share what my old man says about the golden city too, once he tells me.
Wuk Lamat: Till then, feel free to pass the time as you like.

Erenville: For now, I will remain in Tural. There's someone I'd like to see before returning to Sharlayan.

Wuk Lamat: What about the rest of you?

Alphinaud: Alisaie and I also intend to remain a while longer. As educational as this experience has been thus far, we feel there are even more lessons to be had for Garlemald.
Alphinaud: By hearing about the peace your father facilitated, and then seeing you reforge relations with Mamook, we were reminded of a profound truth.
Alphinaud: That is, acceptance begins with understanding.
Alisaie: And like you demonstrated throughout the rite, there are unexpected-yet-effective ways for two sides to understand each other.
Alisaie: The question is how to encourage it, and by seeing more of this nation born of unity, we hope to find some hints.
Krile: Personally, I can hardly wait to learn more about the city of gold. So if I may, I'd like to stay in Tuliyollal as well.
Wuk Lamat: By all means! Your rooms are at your disposal for as long as you need them.
Alisaie: And what of you? Thinking of touring Xak Tural, perhaps?

Question: What will you say?
> That's the plan!
Alisaie: Of course. You're hardly the type to leave half of a continent unexplored.
> I'm still undecide, to be honest.
---
Erenville: Then perhaps we could travel together?
Erenville: The person I intend to meet is my mentor, so I'll be visiting my hometown in Xak Tural.
Erenville: If you have no particular destination in mind, I'd be happy to guide you en route.

Wuk Lamat: Then it's farewell for now.
Wuk Lamat: Take care, all of you!

Erenville: When you're ready, come and meet me at the Xak Tural skygate.

Wuk Lamat: We're friends to the end, you hear me! Friends to the end!

===End cutscene===

Erenville: Past these gates and over the bridge lies Xak Tural.
Erenville: You have your permit, yes? Packed and ready? No last-minute stops to make before we leave?
Erenville: <sigh> Forgive me. I'm afraid traveling with our new Dawnservant may have scarred me for life...

===Cutscene 6===

System: Meanwhile, in the depths of Skydeep Cenote...

Zoraal Ja: This...is the gate to the golden city?

Sareel Ja: Two decades ago, your father bade me transcribe a letter to a scholar across the salt, petitioning the study of this place.
Sareel Ja: What he discovered was something the Dawnservant feared enough to seal away forever...or so we thought until the rite's objective became the city of gold.
Sareel Ja: But to think that Tankwa would be entrusted with its safekeeping! Had I known that doddering old fool carried a set of keystones, we might have spared ourselves those tiresome feats.
Sareel Ja: Great power sleeps here─and with it, you shall obtain your birthright.

Zoraal Ja: So you say. Yet the new Dawnservants succeeded where I could not. Taking their throne will be no easy task.

Sareel Ja: The Resilient Son underestimates his own potential! There is no need for worry.
Sareel Ja: I have liberated the key from the Dawnservant's vault. You alone have the means to unlock the gate.
Sareel Ja: You will gain all you were denied. The rite, your father's shade─these bitter memories shall soon be forgotten.
Sareel Ja: Seize your future, Promise. Open the gate, and become the ruler you were destined to be!
Sareel Ja: I-It's working!

???: Is some...there? Can...hear me?
???: ...At last!

Sareel Ja: Who's there!? Show yourself!
???: If only I could. Alas, this gate will not open for me. Only the key in your possession can connect us.
Sareel Ja: Then...you are the guardian of the city's great power?
???: I do not claim this power is great... But the knowledge I possess is enough to realize any desire. To remake worlds.

Zoraal Ja: Is that so...
Zoraal Ja: Hahaha... Ahahaha!
Zoraal Ja: Fascinating. Name your price, then. For my desire is the world itself...
Sareel Ja: Yes, yes! The Resilient Son rises! Together we shall create a nation worthy of our rule!

Sareel Ja: P-Promise! Wh-Why?

Zoraal Ja: The useless tool is cast aside.
Zoraal Ja: Deliver me a new world. One that bends to my will.

???: As you wish. But in exchange...
