Fiercely proud of his heritage, this man of twenty and seven summers puts little store by words, believing great feats to speak for themselves, and indeed he has many to his name, which might lead some to consider him a heroic figure. However, despite (or perhaps because of) these qualities, he has struggled to reconcile his rather high expectations for a bride. <br /> <br /> As a child, Magnai was a hopeless romantic fascinated with the legends surrounding the ''Oronir'' and their destined partners--their ''Nhaama''. Though most of his brothers grew more pragmatic with age, the most radiant only became more preoccupied with this ideal... and deaf to the words of wisdom of his five elder sisters. Instead, he continued to hone his skills, believing that the strength to split the earth asunder and smite fell beasts would surely attract the attention of his beloved-to-be, his gentle, ethereal maiden.

A lover of traditional Coerthan cooking, in his youth, he studied swordplay, and perhaps could have achieved moderate success within high society. However, as the youngest of five, he stood to inherit little, and so with his parents' endorsement he entered Saint Endalim's Scholasticate. He graduated as one of the Trinity and successfully entered into the service of the Holy See, and was quick to take part in the power struggles inside the Vault.&lt;br&gt;<br /> As he grew more successful and influential, he gradually rose within the clergy's hierarchy until he was named a bishop in his forty and second year. However, it was also at this time that he was rumored to have broken his vow of celibacy and fathered a child with a lover. Well aware that such a scandal could be used as a weapon by his political rivals, he made every effort to suppress them until after he was elected archbishop.&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Fury's Grace: Symbol of the leader of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church and sovereign of the Holy See, this holy crozier has been handed down to each archbishop. Embedded in its center is a rare sapphire of ultramarine hue, known as the Frozen Tear. The staff was so named for the legend that it was bestowed upon Archbishop Reymanaud I by a divine messenger of Halone.<br /> &lt;ref&gt;Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 151&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ===Lore===<br /> Following the defeat of the [[Garlean Empire|Garleans]] at [[the Praetorium]], the [[Ascians]] turned to [[Ishgard]] and '''Thordan''', offering him power to bring an end to the [[Dragonsong War]] through the power of summoning. Though '''Thordan''' was loath to work alongside them, he pretended to ally himself with them, so he may take their power and dispose of them later.<br /> <br /> When the [[Warrior of Light]] appears in '''Ishgard''' and participates in a trial of combat to protect [[Tataru Taru]], '''Thordan''' called them before him to apologize for the rashness of the [[Heavens' Ward]], and explains that the '''Ascians''' had made contact with him, and explained what they had offered him. The '''Warrior of Light''' and [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] left his throne room, not certain if he was their ally or not. <br /> <br /> Later, when the '''Warrior of Light''' returned to the city following an attempt to parley with [[Hraesvelgr]] and failing, [[Aymeric de Borel]] came before '''Thordan''' to question him about whether he knew about the origins of the '''Dragonsong War''' or not. Fearing the change to their way of life this knowledge would bring, he threw '''Aymeric''' into the cells beneath [[The Vault]]. The '''Warrior of Light''' comes to '''Aymeric's''' rescue and attempts to corner '''Thordan''', but he escapes on his [[Airship]] headed for [[Azys Lla]] after his knights, using a [[Primal]] power obtained from summoning the original '''Knights Twelve''' into themselves, killed [[Haurchefant]].<br /> <br /> '''Thordan''' waits for the '''Warrior of Light''' to obtain the key to [[Azys Lla]] before ambushing them and stealing the key for himself and moving past the barrier around the floating city. Eventually the '''Warrior of Light''' manages to pursue him and his knights to [[The Aetherochemical Research Facility]], where they defeat one of the two '''Ascians''' who ambush them there. '''Thordan''' appears with the coffin of [[Haldrath]], the original '''Thordan's''' son, and reveals [[Nidhogg]]'s other eye was buried with him after it consumed and destroyed him. He uses the power of the eye to summon [[King Thordan]] within himself, and wields the sword '''Ascalon''' to kill and absorb [[Lahabrea]], becoming even stronger. <br /> <br /> He tells the '''Warrior of Light''' that he intends to &quot;mete out justice&quot; as he sees fit and become the god-king, ruling over all, and any who stand in his way would meet his blade. He offers the '''Warrior of Light''' the chance to join him or face him in combat. When the '''Warrior''' draws their weapon, he summons his [[Knights Twelve]] and engages them in combat. After a long and brutal battle, the '''Warrior of Light''' felled the god-king, bringing an end to the lies of the [[Holy See]].<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:NPCs]] [[Category: NPCs]] [[Category:Patch 3.0 NPCs]]</div>

Ilberd worked as an adventurer to support his kin until they were lost in a fire that consumed their home—a fire caused by the Calamity. Suddenly alone in the world, there was only one thing left to Ilberd: to see Ala Mhigo reclaimed, and return the remains of his loved ones to their homeland. He rested all his hopes upon his old friend Raubahn, who had become a member of the Syndicate.&lt;br&gt;<br /> A patriotic Highlander, Ilberd enjoys the medicinal teas of his native land. He sparred with Raubahn in times long past, and has since become known as &quot;Ilberd of the Dull Blade.&quot; This is due to the ferocious strength with which he fights even at the age of forty-four.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Lionshead: A single-edged sword of unknown origin, Ilberd's arm bears a lion's head upon the guard. He discovered it whilst exploring the Invisible City at the behest of the Thaumaturges' Guild, but as the magi took no interest in the steel, he was allowed to retain it as payment for services rendered. The magicks imbued within the weapon are believed to stimulate the humors, allowing for bladework that seemingly exceeds the skill of the wielder.<br /> &lt;ref&gt;Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 198&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ===Lore===<br /> Working as a sellsword in [[Eorzea]], '''Ilberd''' was brought into the [[Crystal Braves]] as a captain. As the captain of the '''Crystal Braves''', he would only be beholden to [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], giving him the freedom to lead his men in the most effective manner. One of his first missions was to track down and apprehend the double agent within the [[Immortal Flames]], known only as '''The Ivy'''. '''Ilberd''' showed his prowess as a commander and a warrior by capturing '''The Ivy''', who turned out to be none other than [[Raubahn]]'s right hand, [[Eline Roaille]]. He discusses what to do with her with '''Raubahn''', and makes some offhand comments about &quot;abandoning their duty&quot;. <br /> <br /> In reality, '''Ilberd''' harbored a grudge against '''Raubahn''' for, in his mind, abandoning his country and people for a life of comfort in [[Ul'dah]]. To that end, he joins with [[Teledji Adeledji]] in exchange for massive sums of [[Gil]] to fund his efforts in the '''Ala Mhigan Resistance''', with many of the other '''Crystal Braves''' following suit. He assists [[the Monetarists]] in their coup de etat, supposedly assassinating [[Nanamo Ul Namo]] and framing the [[Warrior of Light]] and the '''Scions'''. He reveals himself and his hatred for '''Raubahn''' after '''Teledji''' mocks the Sultana and '''Raubahn''' kills him. When he turns to '''Lolorito''', '''Ilberd''' removes his arm in one clean strike, claiming that the years in the city had made him soft. He has '''Raubahn''' dragged off to [[Halatali]] to await sentencing.<br /> <br /> When he learns of the truth behind the &quot;assassination&quot;, he attempts to kill '''Raubahn''' for being a &quot;traitor&quot; to '''Ala Mhigo'''. He is stopped by the '''Warrior of Light''', and tells them they are both pawns in someone else's game. After this, '''Ilberd''' laid low for a while, until he was approached by '''Elidibus''', who offered him the '''Eyes of Nidhogg''', stating that only he was worthy to wield them, with his heart full of rage. '''Ilberd''' adopts the moniker of '''The Griffin''', and begins rallying people to his cause to liberate '''Ala Mhigo''', planning to convince the [[Beast Tribes]] to summon their [[Primal]]s for their fight. When the '''Warrior of Light''' interfered with this, he used the info to launch a false-flag operation against [[Baelsar's Wall]], leaking this info to the [[Eorzean Alliance]] so they would have troops standing by to deal with the '''Primal''' threat, when in reality this was merely to add credibility that '''Eorzea''' was attacking the '''Wall''', since '''Ilberd''' had given his soldiers [[Grand Company]] uniforms. This ended up being a success, as '''Eorzea''' was forced into the conflict against the '''Empire''' for '''Ala Mhigo'''.<br /> <br /> When the '''Warrior of Light''' defeated '''Ilberd''' at the top of the '''Wall''', he sacrifices himself using the '''Eyes''' to summon [[Shinryu]], claiming that &quot;if he needs to become a demon, then he will become a demon. Anything to see his homeland freed&quot;. He threw himself from the top of the rampart, and invoked the summoning. This was forestalled by [[Papalymo]] sacrificing himself in the same manner that [[Louisoix]] did, but ultimately the '''Primal''' was too strong, and the '''Alliance''' had to turn to [[Omega]] to handle the dragon. When '''Raubahn''' found his body, he made a promise to see their homeland freed for the both of them.<br /> <br /> Much later, when the '''Warrior of Light''' and the '''Scions''' were exploring [[The Aitiascope]], they came across '''Ilberd's''' remaining '''aether'''. He stood in their way, but was eventually fully defeated and laid to rest.<br /> <br /> [[Category:NPCs]] [[Category:Quest NPCs]] [[Category:Patch 2.3 NPCs]]</div>

Its name was earned for the gold glow the jewel set atop the staff's haft emits, and though it has seen many years, the weapon still serves as a stable nexus for potent magicks.}}<br /> <br /> ===Lore===<br /> When [[Yda Hext]] was killed defending a young child, her sister, [[Lyse Hext]] came to '''Papalymo''', wishing to continue her mission to liberate [[Ala Mhigo]]. Though he was against it, he used a [[Glamour]] spell to imprint a fake [[Archon]] mark on her neck, and requested that the rest of the '''Archons''' remain silent about her true identity. Together, the pair traveled to [[Eorzea]], where they ended up in [[Gridania]] after their [[Airship]] crashed in the [[Black Shroud]]. When they were attacked by various monsters from the forest, they were eventually saved by an adventurer as well as the leader of the [[Conjurer's Guild]], [[E-Sumi-Yan]], and taken to the city proper.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''' joined the rest of the [[Circle of Knowing]] in defending the realm against the invasion of the [[Garlean Empire]]. When the '''White Raven''' was defeated, '''Papalymo''' aided in spreading the message that the people of '''Gridania''' needed to pray to [[The Twelve]] in order to accumulate power that may be utilized to stop the '''Lesser Moon,''' [[Dalamud]] from destroying '''Eorzea'''. When [[Bahamut]] was released from the satellite, '''Papalymo''' and the rest of the '''Circle''', as well as everyone present were teleported away by [[Louisoix]], and the dreadwyrm was defeated, costing '''Louisoix''' his life.<br /> <br /> Five years later, '''Papalymo''' and '''Yda''' remained in the [[Twelveswood]], safeguarding it from various threats. When they discover an '''Aetheric''' disturbance, they meet with the [[Warrior of Light]] and slay a group of [[Treant]]s who had been driven mad. The '''Warrior of Light''' passed out following this, and they brought them back to '''Gridania'''. Believing the [[Ixal]] had been responsible for the attack, the pair headed back out to continue investigating.<br /> <br /> Later, when a &quot;masked man&quot; who was believed to be the true cause of all the turmoil in the forest appeared near the '''Guardian Tree''', '''Papalymo''', '''Yda''' and the '''Warrior of Light''' fought and defeated him. When he was revealed to be an [[Ascian]], they invited the '''Warrior of Light''' to [[Vesper Bay]] to speak with their leader. At the headquarters of [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], '''Papalymo''' introduced them to [[Minfilia]], [[Thancred]], [[Y'shtola]] and [[Alphinaud]], the other members of the '''Scions'''. The '''Warrior''' was formally invited to join, and undertook various missions for the '''Scions'''.<br /> <br /> When [[Livia sas Junius]] attacked [[the Waking Sands]], '''Papalymo''' was amongst those taken hostage by the '''Empire''' and held at [[Castrum Centri]]. He and his companions were rescued by the '''Warrior of Light''' and the members of the [[Garlond Ironworks]]. Later, he joined the '''Scions''', the leaders of the city-states, and the [[Grand Company|Grand Companies]] in [[Operation Archon]], an attack against [[The Praetorium]] to take out [[The Ultima Weapon]] and [[Gaius van Baelsar]], the leader of the [[XIVth Imperial Legion]].<br /> <br /> Much later, when the [[Crystal Braves]] betrayed the '''Scions''' and aided in framing them for regicide, '''Papalymo''' and '''Yda''' fled, choosing to continue their original mission of liberating '''Ala Mhigo'''. They joined up with a resistance cell named '''The Masks''', led by a man who only went by '''The Griffin'''. They witnessed the '''Griffin''' and the '''Masks''' undertake extremist attacks on the '''Garleans''' that often resulted in a mass loss of life.<br /> <br /> When they were reunited with their '''Scion''' companions, '''Papalymo''' would request to hold on to the remaining pieces of [[Tupsimati]], the staff used by '''Louisoix''' to defeat '''Bahamut'''. As it had been targeted before, he felt it would be targeted again simply for the abundance of ambient '''aether''' it contained.<br /> <br /> At the attack on [[Baelsar's Wall]] by the '''Griffin''', '''Papalymo''' battled against the members of the resistance to clear a path to the top of the wall for the '''Warrior of Light''', where they battled against the '''Griffin''', who revealed himself to be [[Ilberd]] Feare, the prior captain of the '''Crystal Braves'''. He revealed his motives for the false flag operation, that if he didn't do something drastic and force the hand of '''Eorzea''', his homeland would never be free. Using the '''Eyes''' of [[Nidhogg]] that had been given to him by the '''Ascians''', as well as the latent '''aether''' from the dead that littered the ground beneath him, he channeled his rage and hatred into summoning a [[Primal]] unlike anything seen before. Sacrificing himself, the ritual was complete, and the '''Primal''' began to take form. <br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''', recognizing the direness of the situation, took charge of the situation. Sending away his comrades, who mostly refused to leave unless otherwise forced, used the power of '''Tupsimati''' to invoke the same sealing spell used by '''Louisoix''' when he attempted to stop '''Bahamut'''. '''Yda''' tried to convince him to not go through with the spell as it would cost him his life, but he simply bid her farewell, and gave his life to stop the '''Primal''' for as long as he could.<br /> <br /> When the seal on [[Shinryu]] finally broke, '''Yda''' knew that the last of '''Papalymo's''' life energy was gone. The '''Archon''' mark that had been glamoured onto her neck vanished, and she, fulfilling '''Papalymo's''' last wishes, left the identity of '''Yda''' behind, choosing to fight for her country under her true name and forged her own path.<br /> <br /> Much later, when the '''Scions''' were passing through [[The Aitiascope]] to speak with [[Hydaelyn]], '''Papalymo's''' ambient '''aether''' supported them, strengthening them in the fight against '''Ilberd's''' shade. The '''Warrior of Light''' also remembers his encouraging words when they were left alone in [[Ultima Thule]], helping them continue on.<br /> <br /> [[Category:NPCs]] [[Category:Quest NPCs]] [[Category:Patch 2.0 NPCs]] [[Category:Archon]]</div>

He was adopted at birth by an aged viscount of House Borel, whose wife was barren. Though they treated him as their own flesh and blood, rumors of his status as a bastard and his father's true identity eventually found their way to him. And so, after being inducted into the Temple Knights, Ser Aymeric hoped he might one day be granted an audience with the archbishop to learn the whole truth.The thirty-two year old Ser Aymeric's political views, as well as his distaste for petty power struggles, are largely a result of his upbringing, particularly his keen awareness of the limitations placed upon an individual for the circumstances of their birth. The lord commander is a remarkably modest man, and shirks the fine cuisines of the capital, instead choosing to break the same bread as any common soldier. The one pleasure in which he indulges is a dash of rich birch syrup in his morning tea, ever so subtly. However, Ser Aymeric is more than capable of conducting himself with dignity and aplomb when attending the many galas held by Ishgard's elite—participation in which is necessary for any who would gain and wield political influence. Accordingly, he has developed a reputation as a fashionable nobleman and a skilled dancer, and is often the subject of conversations between highborn ladies.<br /> <br /> '''Naegling''': Ser Aymeric's sword, Naegling, is a Borel family heirloom once used to slay dragons. Ser Aymeric's foster father prayed it would grant him strength in the struggles to come, both on and off the battlefield.}}<br /> <br /> ===Lore===<br /> After hearing the rumors of the deeds of the [[Warrior of Light]] and [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], he sought a meeting with both the '''Warrior''' and [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]]. Though he did not seek to change the policies of [[Ishgard]], he was willing to maintain a steady supply of goods to [[Mor Dhona]] despite the desire within '''Ishgard''' to cut them off, but would ask that they keep an eye over [[Lake Silvertear]] and [[the Keeper of the Lake]], as the [[Astrologian]]'s of '''Ishgard''' believe that the '''Dragon Star''' flaring brightly is a sign that [[Midgardsormr]] will return. When an '''Ishgardian''' soldier enters and tells the group that '''heretics''' have raided another caravan, he implores the '''Warrior of Light''' and '''Alphinaud''' to investigate.<br /> <br /> Following the resolution of the investigation into [[Ysayle|Lady Iceheart]] and [[Shiva]], '''Aymeric''' met with the '''Warrior of Light''' and '''Alphinaud''' to thank them for their hard work, as he doubted that his knights could handle such a threat. When '''Alphinaud''' accused '''Ishgard''' of using '''Mor Dhona''' to defend one of their borders, which '''Aymeric''' conceded to. He explained that '''Ishgard''' was vehemently against reopening its borders to the other nations, but he is hoping to use his position and recent events to change that.<br /> <br /> When [[Nidhogg]] rallied the [[Dragon]]s to attack '''Ishgard''', '''Aymeric''' oversaw the defense of the city and reached out to the '''Scions of the Seventh Dawn''' and the [[Crystal Braves]] to assist driving the [[Dravanian Horde]] off. When part of the ward, [[Daniffen's Collar]] was disabled by '''Lady Iceheart''', he aided in directing the different squadrons on [[The Steps of Faith]]. Thanks to their bravery in this battle, '''Aymeric''' expressed his gratitude and that he was indebted to the '''Warrior of Light'''.<br /> <br /> '''Aymeric''' later attended the '''Sultana's''' banquet, and was present for the coup of [[Teledji Adeledji]] and the '''Crystal Braves''', but he and [[Lucia goe Junius]] were quickly rushed away under the premise of a &quot;Dravanian attack&quot; that required their attention, and did not witness the peak of the events that transpired there. When the '''Warrior of Light''', '''Alphinaud''' and [[Tataru Taru]] were granted asylum with [[House Fortemps]], he offered to assist them in any way he could.<br /> <br /> When '''Alphinaud''' requested he hold back from attacking the '''Dravanian Horde''' as he and the '''Warrior of Light''' intended to parley with them in an attempt to end the war, '''Aymeric''' delayed their counter offensive until they can meet with [[Hraesvelgr]]. However, when they return with the truth of the start of the [[Dragonsong War]], '''Aymeric''' made directly for [[The Vault]] to confront his father and bring the truth to the people. For his efforts, he was told that these things would turn their society on their head and the fallout would only bring ruin to their people. '''Aymeric''' was then taken to the gaol beneath '''The Vault''' to be held before being condemned as a heretic. He was later rescued by the '''Warrior of Light''', '''Alphinaud''' and [[Haurchefant]], though the latter lost his life protecting the '''Warrior of Light''' from an attack. With the '''Dragonsong War''' coming to a head, '''Aymeric''' stayed behind in the city to maintain some semblance of order.<br /> <br /> Following the death of [[Archbishop Thordan VII]], '''Aymeric''' was put in charge of the city-state temporarily until a more suitable leader could be found. For his part, he intended to use his newfound position of authority to impact direct change in the nation, reaching out to the '''Dragons''' in the hopes they would send a representative to a peace talk he arranged. He also signed a treaty for '''Ishgard''' to re-enter the [[Eorzean Alliance]].<br /> <br /> Talks of peace with the [[Dravanian Horde]] had, naturally, put the people of '''Ishgard''' on edge, with many believing that '''Aymeric''' had removed '''Thordan''' from his place as ruler through treasonous means. A fundamentalist group named the '''True Brotherhood of the Faith''' began rounding up refugees and burning homes, especially in [[The Brume]]. When an investigation was launched, it turned out that these refugees were being held hostage in [[The Vault]] until '''Aymeric''' stepped down and submitted to trial for patricide. Instead, he immediately established a perimeter and began deploying the knights to handle any fanatics that may launch an attack. He and the '''Warrior of Light''' charged in and freed the refugees. When they reached the top of '''The Vault''', they found a priest dangling a child over the edge of the ramparts, telling them that he would not surrender to &quot;one who breaks bread with the enemy and calls him brother&quot;, and that any who die is on '''Aymeric's''' hands. With that, he threw the girl from the rampart. <br /> <br /> Fortunately the '''Dragon''' [[Vidofnir]] caught the child, saving her life. She had arrived to warn the '''Aymeric''' that '''Nidhogg's horde''' had recently begun to move again, and this one act helped to , if only a little, assuage the fears of the public. It was not enough to completely change their hearts and minds, however, for that night an assassin drove a dagger into his stomach in an attempt to kill him. Luckily, [[Artoirel|Artoirel de Fortemps]] and [[Count Edmont de Fortemps]] were there to apprehend the assassin and get him the help he needed.<br /> <br /> Following an unpleasant protest at '''Falcon's Nest''' that ended in a protestor being shot with arrows, '''Aymeric''' held the [[Grand Melee]], a contest of warfare, and invited the [[Grand Company|Grand Companies]] as a way to strengthen bonds and lift the spirits of the people before the conference. The '''Melee''' was a great success, with the '''Warrior of Light''' facing off against [[Raubahn Aldynn]], the leader of the [[Immortal Flames]] and winning in the name of '''Ishgard'''.<br /> <br /> The next day, '''Aymeric''' held the peace conference, unveiling a new installation showing [[Saint Shiva]] and '''Hraesvelgr''' intertwined. It seemed that the conference would end on a positive note, unfortunately this was not meant to be. '''Nidhogg's Shade''', in the body of [[Estinien Wyrmblood]], crashed the conference, driving his lance deep into '''Vidofnir's''' back and telling those present that his revenge is far from over, and he will see '''Ishgard''' razed to the ground. '''Aymeric''' grabbed the bow of a nearby soldier and loosed an arrow at the '''Nidhogg/Estinien''' shade, but to no avail. '''Nidhogg''' assumed his dragon form and took off into the sky, prompting the chant '''Death to Nidhogg''' from those at the conference.<br /> <br /> '''Aymeric''', along with the '''Warrior of Light''' and '''Alphinaud''', beseeched '''Hraesvelgr''' for aid in the final battle against '''Nidhogg'''. Though the '''wyrm''' expressed his own anger at humanity for taking his sister [[Ratatoskr]] from him all those centuries ago, he agreed that they may yet reignite the flame of hope in his heart, or extinguish it forever. After proving themselves capable enough to handle '''Nidhogg''' through his trials, they rode back to '''Ishgard''' which was currently under attack. '''Aymeric''' fought alongside the other knights and the '''Dragons''' alike.<br /> <br /> When the '''Dragonsong War''' finally reached its end, '''Aymeric''' separated church and state, converting '''Ishgard''' to a republic, putting the future of '''Ishgard''' into the people's hands, with the '''House of Lords''' and the '''House of Commons''' so all peoples were represented. Unsurprisingly (to '''Aymeric''', at least), he was officially elected to the highest seat of the '''House of Lords''', and named the [[Azure Dragoon]] of the people. Privately, he expressed to the '''Warrior of Light''' that he would much rather be on some grand adventure, but he was now bound to duties to the people.<br /> <br /> Later, '''Aymeric''' would lead the temple knights in the liberation of [[Ala Mhigo]], holding back legions of '''Garlean''' soldiers while the '''Warrior of Light''' led the charge to the throne room. '''Aymeric''' also acted as the representative for '''Ishgard''' during the parley with the '''Empire''', and attempted to reason with the '''Emperor''' to lay down his arms and join with '''Eorzea''', but was called a fool for his efforts.<br /> <br /> '''Aymeric''' would also fight on the battlefield of [[The Ghimlyt Dark]], repelling the '''Empire's''' forces. He also helped rescue the '''Warrior of Light''' when they collapsed, bringing them to the '''chirurgeons''', and helped secure [[Alisaie Leveilleur]]'s body when she was found catatonic. <br /> <br /> Much later, while the '''Warrior of Light''' and the '''Scions''' were working on a cure for '''Tempering''', he ensured that a trade route for crystals would be secured with the [[Skysteel Manufactory]]. He also joined them in meetings in '''Ala Mhigo''', promising '''Ishgardian''' aid in dealing with the threat the '''Towers''' posed to '''Eorzea'''. He also dragged '''Estinien''' to join the '''Scions''', whether he liked it or not.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:NPCs]] [[Category:Patch 2.4 NPCs]]</div>

Yet I will not forsake this cause. I cannot. I will see this cycle broken and peace restored.<br /> <br /> An Elezen of Ishgardian descent, Ysayle fled the bitter cold which had descended upon Coerthas following the Calamity, eventually arriving in the Dravanian forelands. There, she chanced upon Hraesvelgr, ancient warden of Anyx Trine. The power of the Echo stirred within her, and she was afforded a vision of the Dragonsong War’s inception—a vision later confirmed as truth during an encounter with Midgardsormr. Before, she had cared for little save the hunt and her birds of prey, but now, Ysayle was driven to forging a new peace twixt dragon and man while revealing the teachings of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church to be lies. It was thus she rose to a position of leadership amongst the heretics of Coerthas, taking the name Lady Iceheart. It was not long after this rise that Lady Iceheart was approached by a mysterious Elezen man—now believed to be an Ascian in disguise—who enlightened her of her own potential and showed her how to invoke the advent of a primal. Ysayle summoned Saint Shiva, using her own body as a vessel, and rent a hole in Ishgard’s wards. Guiding the Horde to the city gates, Ysayle’s assault on the Holy See was meant to herald an end to the war by killing the man who led Ishgard’s false crusade: the archbishop. Though she well understood that the attack would claim innocent lives, she saw them as necessary sacrifices to end the cycle of hatred and war. Her wild laughter as she watched the Dravanians fly towards the city was doubtless meant to strike fear into the hearts of the guilty. When the dragons reached Ishgard, however, they were lost to their desire for revenge. As thoughtless beasts, they fell upon the Brume. On that day, it was not the archbishop who felt their murderous wrath, but rather the oppressed masses. The Horde’s attack on the capital became but another manifestation of malice. The Lady Iceheart’s plan had failed.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath, Ysayle met again with the Warrior of Light, and begged that she be allowed to accompany him, perhaps to atone for her own erstwhile sins. During the course of their adventures, she learned that the primal representation of Saint Shiva she had invoked was merely a shade conjured from her own imagination. Though she ended her journeys in despair, she would eventually find resolve anew, giving her life at the age of twenty and four to see that her companions, and her people, might endure.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Ysayle''' was a [[Duskwight]]&lt;ref&gt;Ysale's canon status as a Duskwight is unlikely, given her involvement with Ishgard. She does however use a Duskwight in-game model for the blue skin tone.&lt;/ref&gt; [[Elezen]] who once made her home in [[Falcon's Nest]]. From a young age, she had manifested [[the Echo]], and was terrified by her visions. She would see images of a beautiful '''Elezen''' woman and a large white [[Dragon]]. When the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]] caused massive changes in the environment of her home and brought an eternal snowstorm, her and her people sought refuge in [[Ishgard]] proper. Unfortunately, her entire village and everyone she knew was buried beneath a massive avalanche. Wandering aimlessly, she ended up crossing paths with [[Hraesvelgr]] and through the '''Echo''', learned the truth of the origins of the [[Dragonsong War]]. She eventually went to live in [[Tailfeather]] to be nearer to the '''Dragons'''.<br /> <br /> In her adulthood, she finally denounced the ways of the [[Holy See]] and their crusade, resolving to bring an end to the war, so no child would die cold and alone in the snow. She took up the moniker of '''Lady Iceheart''' and began bringing together others who turned their backs on the church of '''Ishgard''' and worshiped Saint Shiva. They begin gathering crystals so she may summon [[Shiva]] in the hopes of ending the war.<br /> <br /> By stealing crystals, she comes into contact with [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] and the [[Warrior of Light]]. They, along with the '''Temple Knights''', track her to the [[Akh Afah Amphitheatre]], where she uses her '''Echo''' and the crystals to invoke the [[Primal]] '''Shiva''' within herself. After an intense battle, she is defeated by the '''Warrior of Light''', but manages to escape after taunting them, saying they do not know who they fight for. She later reappears at the [[Gates of Judgement]], where she leads the '''Dragons''' in an attack against [[The Steps of Faith]] after destroying [[Daniffen's Collar]], the ward preventing the '''Dragons''' from truly launching an assault on '''Ishgard'''. The '''Warrior of Light''' managed to stop [[Vishap]], but the damage was done to the city-state. In a rage, [[Estinien Wyrmblood]] swore to hunt her down and make her pay for the lives lost with her own.<br /> <br /> The '''Warrior of Light''' and '''Ysayle''' cross paths once again in an abandoned home in the [[Coerthas Western Highlands]], where [[Midgardsormr]] tells her that their goals aligned, but their methodology differed. She expresses regret for those who died at '''the Steps of Faith''', and explained to the '''Warrior''' the true genesis instant to the '''Dragonsong War'''. <br /> <br /> Later, when she is drawn out by [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]], the '''Warrior of Light''' and '''Estinien''', they explain to her their plan to entreat with the '''Dragons''' to end the war without further casualties, and that they need her to take them to '''Hraesvelgr'''. Knowing that the '''Dragon''' is unlikely to listen to them, she nevertheless takes them to the [[Churning Mists]].<br /> <br /> Before they can ascend to '''Hraesvelgr's''' lair, they must stop the [[Gnath]] god, [[Ravana]], who is attacking the '''Dragons''' in the area. '''Ysayle''' attempts to defeat the '''Primal''' with the power of '''Shiva''', but falters, due to not having enough crystal power. After the '''Warrior of Light''' lays the god low, they are allowed to pass into [[Sohm Al]]. The party is waylaid by [[Tioman]], the broodmate to [[Nidhogg]], who they must slay in order to proceed.<br /> <br /> They meet with '''Hraesvelgr''', only to have them confirm what '''Ysayle''' said: he would not help them. He also told her that the '''Shiva''' she worshiped was nothing like his love, and was but a mockery of who she was. This causes '''Ysayle''' to lose faith in herself and her mission, and leaves the group.<br /> <br /> Much later, after '''Nidhogg''' is slain, she condemns '''Hraesvelgr''' for giving '''Nidhogg''' one of his eyes so he may seek vengeance against the '''Ishgardians'''. He tells her that '''Nidhogg''' was not the only one who sought vengeance, and that seeing [[Ratatoskr]] dead broke his heart too. He tells '''Ysayle''' and the rest of the party to leave, while he was still capable of showing them mercy. Back in '''Ishgard''', when a band of heretics attacks the city, she has them stand down, as the war they fought to end was now over. They are allowed to leave thanks to the intervention of '''Estinien''' and [[Haurchefant]]. Despite the war being over and her mission completed, '''Ysayle''' still felt conflicted, and left to ponder why.<br /> <br /> When the '''Warrior of Light''' and the '''Scions''', along with the [[Garlond Ironworks]] track [[Thordan VII]] to [[Azys Lla]] and attempt to breach the [[Allagan Empire|Allagan barrier]] surrounding the floating city, they are waylaid by the [[Garlean Empire]]. During the battle, '''Ysayle''' arrives, riding on the back of '''Hraesvelgr'''. With her mind clear, she intends to atone for the bloodshed she had caused in the name of her mission. She transforms once again into '''Shiva''' and fights alongside the '''Dragon'''. disabling a massive '''Agrius-class''' [[Airship]], the '''Gration''', but was unfortunately shot out of the sky. With the last of her strength, she protects [[Cid Garlond]]'s airship so they can flee, and is blown away by cannonfire. She fell from the sky and perished, releasing a mass of beautiful blue [[Aether]].<br /> <br /> At the final battle against '''Nidhogg's''' shade, who had possessed '''Estinien''' when he claimed both of '''Nidhogg's Eyes''', the '''Warrior of Light''' was guided by an apparition in the form of '''Ysayle'''. When the '''Eyes''' were removed from '''Estinien's''' armor, she smiled and finally faded away, knowing her people and the '''Dragons''' were finally on the path to reuniting.<br /> <br /> ===Images===<br /> &lt;gallery heights=200px mode=packed&gt;<br /> File:ysayle.jpg<br /> File:Ysayle concept art.jpg|Concept Art<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:NPCs]]</div>

As he grew, he desired a chance to change his fate, and was soon given one. He came across [[Francel de Haillenarte]] beset by bandits who were attempting to kidnap the noble. He fended off the kidnappers with nothing but a knife, blocking any incoming attacks, including an arrow, with his bare arm. He was bequeathed knighthood for his valorous deed, and dedicated his life to living up to his title.<br /> <br /> '''Haurchefant''' first met the [[Warrior of Light]] in [[Coerthas]] when they come looking for the [[Enterprise]], [[Cid nan Garlond]]'s [[Airship]]. '''Haurchefant''' agreed to help them search for the vessel, but only if they helped him disprove the charges of heresy levied against '''Francel''' and [[House Haillenarte]]. While the '''Warrior of Light''' gathers clues and evidence and eventually proves the young lord's innocence, '''Haurchefant''' discovered the location of the ship, [[the Stone Vigil]]. The '''Warrior of Light''', '''Cid''' and [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] reach the '''airship''', taking out the dragon guarding it.<br /> <br /> Later, when a shipment to [[Revenant's Toll]] is attacked by heretics, '''Haurchefant''' explains the rising attacks of heretics at the behest of [[Ysayle|Lady Iceheart]]. He implores [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] and the '''Warrior of Light''' to investigate the heretics' actions within [[Eorzea]]. He also introduced them to [[Aymeric de Borel]], who ensured continuous supplies would come to [[Mor Dhona]] in exchange for watching over [[the Keeper of the Lake]].<br /> <br /> Following the coup at the banquet where the '''Warrior of Light''' and the '''Scions''' were falsely accused of regicide, '''Haurchefant''' brought the '''Warrior of Light''', '''Alphinaud''' and '''Tataru''' to '''House Fortemps''' where they were offered asylum and made wards of the house and allowing them entry into '''Ishgard''' proper.<br /> <br /> When [[Emmanellain de Fortemps]] was kidnapped by the [[Vanu Vanu]], '''Haurchefant''' fought alongside the '''Warrior of Light''' to rescue his brother, charging the fortress and bringing his brother home. Upon returning to the city however, he found it under attack by heretics. When '''Lady Iceheart''' commanded the heretics to stand down, he allowed her and her people to walk out of the city unimpeded.<br /> <br /> Following the revelation that the [[Dragonsong War]] had been started by the original [[King Thordan]] and '''Aymeric''' left to [[The Vault]], '''Haurchefant''' led the charge to free him, rescuing him from the dungeons while the '''Warrior of Light''' ascended to the top of '''The Vault''' to stop [[Archbishop Thordan VII]] from escaping. When one of the [[Heavens' Ward]] fired a [[Spear of the Fury]] at the '''Warrior of Light''', he lept in front of it, using his shield to guard against it. Unfortunately, the '''Spear''' was too strong, and broke through the shield, impaling him. As he lay dying, he thanked the '''Warrior of Light''', and told them not to look so upset, as &quot;a smile better suits a hero&quot;. He smiled one last time, and passed away.<br /> <br /> Upon returning to '''Fortemps Manor''', his father praised him for dying in a valorous way, as befitting a knight, and asked to be alone. Unable to handle the grief, he collapsed. Later, he would gift the '''Warrior of Light''' with the shield '''Haurchefant''' used to save their life. '''Haurchefant''' was laid to rest overlooking all of '''Ishgard'''. Later, '''Emmanellain''' took over his position as commander and hung a massive painting on the wall of his brother.<br /> <br /> When rescuing [[Estinien Wyrmblood]] from the clutches of the '''Shade of Nidhogg''', '''Haurchefant's''' spirit appeared and aided in the removal of the eyes. When '''Estinien''' was saved, he smiled and faded away. He would also later aid the '''Warrior of Light''' and the '''Scions''' in [[The Aitiascope]] by using his [[Aether]] to greatly empower his allies in order to overcome their enemies.<br /> <br /> [[Category:NPCs]] [[Category:Quest NPCs]] [[Category:Patch 2.0 NPCs]]</div>

Through years of inhuman trials, she learned the ways of the shinobi—how to fight from the shadows—eventually earning the rank of &quot;jonin.&quot; Having thus mastered ninjutsu and being given the epithet &quot;Mistwalker,&quot; she pledged herself to the remnants of the Doman general's clan. Thereafter, she waged a war against the Garlean Army. Alas, the rebellion ended in defeat, and the Domans lost everything. Obeying her lord's orders, Yugiri led a number of her countrymen in flight. Though the journey was long and arduous, she never allowed her people to despair, and, at the end, found them a new home. At twenty-six summers, she continues her fight alongside her the Scions and the Eorzean Alliance, but has not once forgotten about her homeland or her people's desire to one day return. Her lone indulgence is a bowl of rice doused in warm soup and topped with a small pinch of ground white radish—a Doman delicacy.}}<br /> <br /> {{Quotation|Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 2, page 091, &quot;Yugiri Mistwalker&quot;|Like many born in the hidden underwater sanctuary of [[Sui-no-Sato]], Yugiri was curious about the outside world, and as a child she and a friend journeyed to the surface to spy upon a coastal fishing village. Though her friend grew fearful and returned home alone, the bold Yugiri ventured further inland and me t a boy not much younger than herself, who shared with her tales of Doma and imperial oppression. Afraid of what might become of her own home, she returned to her parents and urged them to do something to help the boy and his people, but neither they nor any of the other adults would listen. In spite of this, Yugiri never forgot the boy's words, and when she was old enough, she defied the will of her elders and was forever barred from her home. Years later, in a curious twist of fate, when she answered the Liberation Front's call for assistance, she was greeted by none other than the boy, now a man grown, she had met so many years ago: Hien Rijin.}}<br /> <br /> ===Favored Weapons===<br /> '''Unmarked Yoshimitsu Blades'''<br /> {{Quotation|Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 1, page 196|''Unmarked Yoshimitsu Blades:'' These daggers were given to Yugiri by the Lominsan thalassocracy as a token of gratitude for her aid. Though they carry no name, the arms are said to be the work of the legendary weaponsmith, Yoshimitsu. Originally, they were forged as the blades of Far Eastern polearms, but have since been refashioned into their current form.}}<br /> <br /> ===Story Involvement===<br /> Yugiri was first introduced [[The Mother of Exiles|during Patch 2.2]], arriving in [[Vesper Bay]] as the masked leader of a group of [[Doma]]n refugees. She became a fast and firm ally of [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], who would do much to help her displaced people find a new home in [[Revenant's Toll]] after their initial petition to [[Ul'dah]] was denied.&lt;ref name=&quot;dilemma&quot;&gt;Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 1, page 060, &quot;The Doman Dilemma&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Yugiri would do much to ensure her debt did not go unpaid, most notably through helping the Scions escape a Monetarist plot to frame them, and enabling their later escape to [[Coerthas]] at the opening of the [[Heavensward]] expansion. Though she spent little time on-screen during the bulk of the Dragonsong War, Yugiri's work in the shadows would prove invaluable for helping the Scions reunite with the rest of their missing comrades. <br /> <br /> Yugiri would finally reveal her face during the [[Stormblood]] expansion, notably appearing on the rooftops of [[Kugane]] during the expansion's cinematic trailer, before continuing to play a central role in much of the player's adventures in [[Othard]]. Details of her personal history would also be revealed during this expansion, including her origins from the submerged village of [[Sui-no-Sato]] and the parents she left behind there.<br /> <br /> Further details about Yugiri's past, including the story of how she met [[Hien]], would be elaborated on in more depth during the [[Endwalker]] expansion, during [[Physical_Ranged_DPS_Quests|role quests]] when the Domans request the aid of a skilled marksman (or markswoman) to help them bring down a [[Blasphemy]] haunting their skies. Once again donning a mask to conceal her identity, she at last had a chance to return to her home of [[Sui-no-Sato]] and even speak with her parents in the pursuit of information about the deadly monstrosity.<br /> <br /> ===Other Appearances and Notable Deeds===<br /> * Assisted in freeing [[Raubahn]] from his wrongful imprisonment in [[Halatali]], and helped the Warrior of Light infiltrate [[Baelsar's Wall]].<br /> * Helped the Scions guard the cocoon of the primal [[Shinryu]] for a time.<br /> * Returned to Doma with [[Gosetsu]] to look for [[Hien]], who at that time was still missing after the failed uprising.<br /> * Rescued villagers from [[Namai]] when [[Garlean]] troops attempted to conscript them.<br /> * Went blade-to-blade with [[Zenos yae Galvus]] multiple times, alongside allies including The Warrior of Light and her liege, [[Hien]].<br /> * Recruited several Othardian factions to the ''Eastern Alliance'', following the liberation of Doma.<br /> * Worked with [[Hien]] and the Warrior of Light to track down the Blasphemy known as 'Izanami.'<br /> <br /> ==Images==<br /> &lt;gallery heights=300px mode=packed&gt;<br /> File:Yugiri-hidden-face.jpg|Appearance during [[A Realm Reborn]]<br /> File:Yugiri.png|Revealed appearance during {{questlink|main|Before the Dawn}}<br /> Lady-yugiri.jpg<br /> File:Endwalker Yugiri SuiNoSato.jpg|A &quot;masked shinobi&quot; speaking to Yugiri's parents in Sui-no-Sato<br /> File:Patch4.01 Mediakit 05 7.4.17.png|Stormblood Concept Art<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references&gt;<br /> &lt;/references&gt;<br /> Yugiri within Published Square Enix Materials:<br /> * Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 1, pages 060 and 196.

How very Sharlayan that no other gourmet café has sprung up to compete for customers...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Actually, this crowd gives me an idea: before we place an order, why don't we ask a few questions and gauge the mood of the city?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm interested to hear what the average citizen has to say about the Telophoroi. We might even learn something new. Worth a try, don't you think?<br /> <br /> ''Alisaie is now accompanying you. Keep her at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.''<br /> ''You can leave Alisaie behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with her and selecting the option to part ways.''<br /> ''If you wish to have Alisaie accompany you again, return and speak with her at the original location.''<br /> <br /> ''Talking to Alisaie''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Someone here at the café should be willing to speak with us.

I used to frequent his café on occasion, in between lessons at the Studium.<br /> '''Dickon:''' That seems like an age ago now. I remember hearing that you and Master Alphinaud had set sail for Eorzea, but then you never came back.<br /> '''Dickon:''' Lately there's been gossip about your father disowning the pair of you. Everything all right at home?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It's...complicated. And I hadn't expected complete strangers to be so familiar with our situation quite so quickly. Everyone has an opinion, it seems...<br /> '''Dickon:''' Well, it ''is'' House Leveilleur. No matter how discreet Master Fourchenault may have been, news of your family's doings never stays secret for long.<br /> '''Dickon:''' Things being what they are, what brings you back to the city now, of all times?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We have questions, and only Sharlayan has the answers. Tell me, Master Dickon: have you heard anything about an apocalypse called the Final Days?<br /> '''Dickon:''' What, like the end of the world? Nothing like that, I'm afraid. And that's what you're here to find? Information on this...apocalypse?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Yes, whatever we can learn. Unfortunately, your patrons appear to be unwilling to speak with me.<br /> '''Dickon:''' I wish there was more I could do to help...<br /> '''Dickon:''' Hm, but maybe there is. You're a visitor to Sharlayan, aren't you?<br /> '''Dickon:''' Then few will know your face. We should be able to pass you off as a server with none the wiser.<br /> '''Dickon:''' We just finished preparing a few orders. Strike up some friendly conversation while you're setting down the food, and you might just get the answers you're looking for.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Not a bad idea. I hate to ask, but...what do you think?<br /> '''Dickon:''' That's the spirit! Pay attention, now, and I'll explain where each of these dishes needs to go.<br /> '''Dickon:''' The tea set is for the chatty group sitting by the water's edge.<br /> '''Dickon:''' The omelette is for one of our regulars ─ a Highlander by the name of Gisla. She's sitting at an outside table with a friend of hers.<br /> '''Dickon:''' Behind them, you should see a Miqo'te gentleman. He ordered the oven-baked lobster.<br /> '''Dickon:''' Got all that? If you're not sure, just ask and I'll explain again. Good luck!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I think you'll be better off if I stay here, out of sight. Find out what you can, and there'll be a hot cup of coffee waiting for you.<br /> <br /> '''Dickon:''' Any troubles? Remember: the tea set goes to the group by the water.<br /> '''Dickon:''' The omelette is for Gisla, a Highlander woman sitting outside with her friend.<br /> '''Dickon:''' Last but not least, our famous lobster goes to the Miqo'te man seated directly behind those two ladies.<br /> <br /> ===Place the correct dish on the first customer's table.===<br /> &gt; Serve the '''tea set''' at the cafe table. <br /> '''Hermenjart:''' Oh, my tea set! Lovely, thank you!<br /> '''Hermenjart:''' ...The Telopho-who? I'm sorry, I've never heard of them, or their “final days.”<br /> '''Hermenjart:''' My friends and I are somewhat uninformed when it comes to current events. Now, if you wanted to hear about ritual arcane practices of the Sixth Astral Era ─ common or esoteric ─ then I'd be happy to talk your ear off...<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Hermenjart:''' I always like to order this when I'm discussing arcane theory with my peers. It's my favorite treat!<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Place the correct dish on the second customer's table.===<br /> &gt; Serve the '''omelette''' at the cafe table. <br /> '''Gisla:''' Ah, finally! Two, four, six, eight!♪ Let's dig in ─ no time to waste─♪<br /> '''Gisla:''' What? The Telophoroi? Ah, yes! I remember seeing the name in the latest gazette.<br /> '''Gisla:''' That and some grand claim about the end of days. Same old senseless warmongering. When will these fools grow tired of spilling each other's blood?<br /> '''Gisla:''' Best stay out of it, I say. The Forum made the right choice, and I fully support our decision to remain neutral!<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Gisla:''' The Last Stand really does make the best omelettes in the world. The fluffiest egg. The tartest sauce. I could eat it every day for a year!<br /> <br /> ===Place the correct dish on the third customer's table.===<br /> &gt; Serve the '''urbane banter with a smile''' at the cafe table.<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' Er, you don't need to butter me up, you know... I've already ordered one of the most expensive things on the menu.<br /> <br /> &gt; Serve the '''oven-baked lobster''' at the cafe table.<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' At last, the oven-baked lobster is mine! You have no idea how long I've scrimped and saved and suffered to afford this heavenly dish...<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' The Final Days? This is the first I've heard of it.<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' Although, that ''would'' explain why my friend has been rushed off his feet. It must be a busy time to be a gleaner.<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' Hm? You don't know what a gleaner is? They're...collectors, of a sort. Travel the world procuring things that we haven't got here in Sharlayan ─ priceless books, unusual live specimens, and so forth.<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' So named for those folk who trail after the reapers in the fields, picking up every grain which was missed. Aye, by all accounts, gleaning is a most meticulous and demanding profession.<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' If these Telophoroi make good on their audacious threats, then many uncatalogued rarities could be lost forever. Why else would the gleaners be buzzing about in such a frenzy?<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' Watch the harbor, and you'll see what I mean ─ they're carting loads in from the docks all day. It's never been this hectic before. Not like this.<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''S'mitu Tia:''' I've wanted to try this meal ever since I saw it served at another table. Ah, the aroma alone was worth every gil I scraped together!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Dickon:''' I hope you and Mistress Alisaie got what you needed! ...She must be fond of you, eh? I've never known her to bring anyone to the café before.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie.===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Any trouble with the customers? Were you able to get anyone talking?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Interesting... They seem unaware of the Final Days, aside from whatever vague news the gazettes are printing.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Even Dickon had nothing to offer, and he's the best source of gossip in the city. Hmmm... If the Forum does have secret knowledge, then they've done an impressive job of ensuring no one whispers it in the wrong ear.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' In any case, thank you for playing the part so well! Here ─ that cup of coffee I promised.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But let's enjoy our drinks somewhere else, shall we? Maybe behind the peristyle, away from the gossips and their wagging tongues...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie again.===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Yes, this should do nicely. Out of the wind, and out of sight.<br /> <br /> | Voiced Cutscene |<br /> '''Alisaie:''' When our father disowned us, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It wasn't until much later that his words began to sink in. That I began to feel the weight of what it meant.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Do you remember when the decision was made to come to Sharlayan?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' G'raha said that the Forum was determined to keep us in the dark, and that Father's venomous “performance” was part of that strategy. To keep us at arm's length.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Perhaps it was. Father argued with Grandfather on many occasions, but never with such...dismissive contempt.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' And...when he demanded what justifies the sacrifices we make in war...I honestly didn't know what to say.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Neither did Alphinaud, I know, but...never, for one moment, did I believe we had made the wrong choice. So all I could do was fume silently.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It was only afterwards that I realized how childish I had been. How being stubborn and self-righteous must run in the family.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If I could've just mustered a civil response, then things might've turned out differently...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' They must be ferrying goods to Labyrinthos.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' A vast complex beneath the island.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Sharlayan is famous for archiving knowledge from around the world. Well, that knowledge is not preserved exclusively in dusty tomes and desiccated samples.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Our “living” library ─ comprised of all manner of flora and fauna ─ is housed and studied within that underground facility.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' ...Still, that did seem to be an unusually large shipment. When I lived here, it was rare to even see such cargo transported by boat.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Wait. Didn't you hear something in the Last Stand about the gleaners coming and going more than usual?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I think they're the ones we saw manning those boats. And gleaners answer to the Forum...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If the appearance of the Telophoroi prompted this sudden burst of activity, then Labyrinthos may hold a clue as to what the Forum is planning!<br /> | Voiced Cutscene end. |<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Therefore I propose we postpone our agenda so that you all may have sufficient time to recover from your journey and get your bearings in the city.<br /> '''Krile:''' Once you've settled in, we can reconvene at the Baldesion Annex. How does that sound?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' 'Tis a fine suggestion. We may not be welcome at the Leveilleur estate as such, but I should like to nose around the neighborhood all the same.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I am equally untethered, as it were. There is no particular place that my kin call “home”...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Still, I would not pass up the opportunity to reacquaint myself with the city.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Likewise. A quick tour of our old haunts might even yield some useful gossip.<br /> '''Thancred:''' The annex was west of the aetheryte plaza, wasn't it? I shall join you there anon.<br /> '''Krile:''' Yes, we'll see you there!<br /> '''Urianger:''' I, too, have places I would be remiss in not visiting forthwith. By thy leave...<br /> '''Krile:''' What of you, Estinien? My services as a guide are yours for the asking.<br /> '''Estinien:''' That won't be necessary. Until we reconvene, I prefer to wander as the wind takes me.<br /> '''Krile:''' B-But, I could─! Oh.<br /> '''Krile:''' Well, Raha, would you like to join us, then? You've been gone for quite a while, and this would be the perfect way to refresh those dusty old memories of yours.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Oh! Of course ─ if you will have me!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Come, [Forename]! Sharlayan awaits!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''Krile:''' Oh dear... His enthusiasm is infectious, isn't it?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with G'raha Tia.===<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' After you, my friend! I am more than content to follow your lead.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;G'raha Tia is now accompanying you. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Keep him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.&lt;br&gt;<br /> In the event you use the Aethernet, G'raha Tia will catch up to you so long as you remain in the same area. &lt;br&gt;<br /> You can leave G'raha Tia behind, however, by entering a different area. You may also speak to him and select the option to part ways. &lt;br&gt;<br /> If you wish to have G'raha Tia accompany you again, return and speak with him at the original location.&lt;br&gt;<br /> While G'raha Tia is accompanying you, next try speaking with Krile.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Talking with G'raha before talking to Krile.''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Do not forget Mistress Krile, our worthy guide!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Krile while accompanied by G'raha Tia.===<br /> '''Krile:''' All set? Then let us be on our way!<br /> '''Krile:''' Our first stop, amusingly enough, will be the Last Stand. It's a café on the west side of the harbor. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt; Krile is also now accompanying you. Lead your two companions to the Last Stand, and speak with Krile at the designated location.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> [[File:EW-OldSharlayanNewtoYou-Companion1.jpg|500px]]<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt; While you are accompanied, you may encounter “conversation points” along the way which offer additional topics of discussion. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Enter the glowing area and speak with your quest companions to initiate these bonus conversations. Enjoy exploring your surroundings together!&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> [[File:EW-OldSharlayanNewtoYou-Companion2.jpg|500px]]<br /> <br /> ''Talking to G'raha.'' <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I'm grateful to have Krile's help in reacquainting myself with this place. It's almost as if I'm seeing it all with new eyes, as you are.<br /> ''Talking to Krile'' <br /> '''Krile:''' Come on, let's head to the café. It may not seem so at a glance, but the Last Stand is actually a very important part of the city.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialouge''<br /> '''''Conversation point:''''' ''At the Peristyle'' (X: 12.3, Y: 13.5)<br /> &gt; Discuss the storange facility <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' With all the unusual wares coming and going at all hours, I expect the assistance of an intrepid adventurer would be highly appreciated.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I see no reason why you couldn't undertake any tasks which pique your interest ─ you have been cleared by the immigration officials, after all.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I look forward to the day your name is celebrated in Sharlayan the same way it is in Eorzea!<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' This place is called “the peristyle,” and it is the first stop for cargo unloaded at the docks.<br /> '''Krile:''' You'll find the usual necessities for daily living and other imports vital to running an island nation, but also supplies that further Sharlayan's pursuit of knowledge ─ namely, large quantities of books, specimens, and samples. Sorting these stacks certainly seems to keep the attendants busy.<br /> <br /> '''''Conversation point:''''' ''At the Scholar's Harbor'' (X:10.8 Y:14.3)<br /> &gt; Discuss the giant statue in the harbor<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Now that is a sight one could hardly forget ─ the great statue of Thaliak.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' As a Student of Baldesion, I was usually quartered on the Isle of Val, but I would gaze upon the Scholar's wise features every time I returned by ship to the city.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' This path leading out towards the sea is known as “the Thaliak Stoa,” so named for the statue of the Scholar which stands at its end.<br /> '''Krile:''' As you know, the Sharlayan people prize the accumulation of wisdom above all else. Thus when Thaliak was chosen as our patron deity, it was more a matter of pragmatism than belief ─ an alignment of principles, as it were.<br /> '''Krile:''' We may have honored Him with a rather impressive sculpture, yes, but our faith is not so restrictive as that of, say, the Ishgardians. Individual Sharlayans can ─ and do! ─ worship the divinities of their choosing.<br /> <br /> ===Head to the Last Stand while accompanied by G'raha Tia and Krile, and speak with Krile at the designated location.===<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, yes, the Last Stand. Now that is an inviting aroma!<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' And here we are: the Last Stand.<br /> '''Krile:''' I may have mentioned this before, but although our research into nutrition and food preparation is quite extensive, the average Sharlayan tends to regard seasoning and flavor with...a certain indifference.<br /> '''Krile:''' How can I put this? The food is, um... It's bland. As encapsulated by our infamous Archon loaf, the prevailing sentiment towards cuisine is dietary value first, and taste a distant second.<br /> '''Krile:''' There was one pupil at the Studium, however, who could stomach the school's insipid meals no longer. So he quit his lessons and poured all his savings into building a proper eatery.<br /> '''Krile:''' And so the Last Stand came to be. It is, as the name implies, the sole dedicated outpost of fine dining in Sharlayan. The one and only bastion of the culinary arts in an isle of otherwise mediocre fare.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I seem to recall their burger being hailed as one of the more impressive items on the menu. Not that I ever had the pleasure of eating one myself...<br /> '''Krile:''' Because you were a typical Sharlayan when it came to “cheap and convenient,” Raha. But surely Tataru has since taught you how to appreciate a well-prepared dish! We should all stop in when time permits, and sample the café's delights!<br /> '''Krile:''' Shall we press on? The stairs to the side of the café there will take us up to the aetheryte plaza.<br /> <br /> ''Small Talk''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' The Students of Baldesion would send us to investigate phenomena in locations across the world, so our funds were always stretched thin. And any spare coin I had went to books that caught my eye...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Food was the least of my concerns! Though now, having lived through some rather harrowing times, I've learned what a fortunate thing it is to be able to eat your fill.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' On to the aetheryte plaza we go! We just need to head up the stairs next to the Last Stand.<br /> <br /> ===Head to the aetheryte plaza while accompanied by G'raha Tia and Krile, and speak with Krile at the designated location.=== <br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Hm. The aetheryte looks different from how I remember it...<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' An unusual shape, isn't it?<br /> '''Krile:''' I assure you, however, that it's a perfectly functioning aetheryte. Remember to attune yourself before we move on!<br /> '''Krile:''' Now, being the diligent tour guide that I am, I should make mention of the Confluence ─ a research facility located on this very plaza. Its much-vaunted discoveries are the reason Sharlayan stands at the forefront of teleportation technology.<br /> '''Krile:''' In deciphering the underlying principles of Allagan aetherytes, it allowed us to understand and reconstruct what was essentially a lost art.<br /> '''Krile:''' ...And off we go to our next destination! Our path leads northeast to the Agora, Sharlayan's largest marketplace.<br /> <br /> ''Small Talk''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Oh, the markets! I always did look forward to seeing what new wares they had on offer!<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' You've attuned yourself to the aetheryte? Then let's continue on to the Agora.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''''Conversation Point''''' ''At Archon's Design.'' (10.7, 10.9)<br /> &gt; Discuss the Confluence.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Speaking of aetherytes, those teleportation fees do add up after a while...which is why I tended to rely on the far cheaper ferry services.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I was pleasantly surprised when Mistress Tataru informed me that the Scions are reimbursed for transportation costs as part of our duties, but I find old habits hard to break. That, and I'd rather not be bothered filling out the necessary paperwork.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' That's the entrance to the Confluence.<br /> '''Krile:''' I have no doubt their expertise will prove useful at some point, so I suggest you remember the way here!<br /> <br /> '''''Conversation Point''''' ''At the Agora.'' (X:11.7, Y:10.4)<br /> &gt; Discuss the book stalls.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...Do you mind if I browse the shelves for a moment? There might be some hidden gems I've yet to read!<br /> '''Krile:''' Only “a moment”? How optimistic. Feel free to browse all you like, but we won't wait around for you.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah. Perhaps I'll return here later, then...<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' These little open-air book stalls are so uniquely Sharlayan. I'd always thought them a common sight until I visited other nations.<br /> <br /> ''In the vicinity of the Agora.''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Anything worth cracking my coinpurse for today, I wonder...?<br /> <br /> ===Head to the Agora while accompanied by G'raha Tia and Krile, and speak with Krile at the designated location.===<br /> '''Krile:''' Welcome to the Agora, where you can find wares made in Sharlayan, as well as a wide selection of imported goods.<br /> '''Krile:''' They also used to sell questionable “prototypes” from the various research institutes, but I think that practice has thankfully died out. For the most part.<br /> '''Krile:''' Otherwise, I can think of no better place to stock up for your next big adventure!<br /> '''Krile:''' ...Am I over ''selling'' it? Ahem. On a more serious note, the next stop on our tour is one which has particular relevance to our ultimate purpose here.<br /> '''Krile:''' We must head back to the aetheryte plaza, follow the path north, then climb the stairs up to that imposing building at the very top.<br /> <br /> ''Small Talk''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' 'Tis a fascinating experience to walk around the city and contrast my image of the past with the reality of the present...<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' The building we're looking for sits at the top of the stairs, to the north of the aetheryte. Just keep walking up, and you'll reach it eventually.<br /> '''Krile:''' The district we're passing through is called Archons' Design─a name which honors the seven individuals whose contributions were instrumental in the founding of Sharlayan. It is the city's political and financial center, and it also hosts a collection of research institutions.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' 'Tis a fascinating experience to walk around the city and contrast my image of the past with the reality of the present...<br /> '''Krile:''' The building we're looking for sits at the top of the stairs, to the north of the aetheryte. Just keep walking up, and you'll reach it eventually.<br /> '''Krile:''' The district we're passing through is called Archons' Design ─ a name which honors the seven individuals whose contributions were instrumental in the founding of Sharlayan. It is the city's political and financial center, and it also hosts a collection of research institutions.<br /> <br /> '''''Conversation Point''''' ''At The Nymphaeum.'' (X:11.5, Y: 8.7)<br /> &gt; Discuss the water features.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' These little decorative features are typical of Sharlayan architecture. Aside from the research wing, our headquarters on the Isle of Val were rather simple and rustic by comparison.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' This is the nymphaeum, an area dedicated to the blessings of water.<br /> '''Krile:''' For Sharlayans, water represents more than a life-sustaining liquid ─ it is a reminder of the great flood which precipitated the birth of our nation, as well as a symbol of the knowledge which flows from Thaliak's divine ewer.<br /> '''Krile:''' This is the reason you see an abundance of fountains throughout the city, and a propensity for utilizing water as a decorative feature in our architecture.<br /> <br /> ===Head to the Rostra while accompanied by G'raha Tia and Krile, and speak with Krile at the designated location.===<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, what an invigorating breeze. A touch biting, perhaps, but pleasant nonetheless.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' This grand structure before you is the Rostra!<br /> '''Krile:''' The name refers to the original public platform erected here, upon which a “forum” of elected representatives would deliver orations and debate policy.<br /> '''Krile:''' Although the stage has since evolved into council chambers, the nature of the Forum and the duties of its members remain largely unchanged.<br /> '''Krile:''' ...Am I boring you, Raha? You seem awfully distracted.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' My apologies. From here, one can see the entire city spread out below...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' The vista put me in mind of my arrival in the First. Those who had gathered at the Crystal Tower asked me how they might go about building a new home.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Naturally, my answers were all inspired by my knowledge of the finest settlement I could think of ─ the great city of Sharlayan.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' And bit by bit, those few buildings grew into a town. A community. The Crystarium... I can almost see its echo...<br /> '''Krile:''' I see... Feel free to come up here whenever you wish ─ I don't think the councilors would object to you simply enjoying the view. Such memories should be treasured.<br /> '''Krile:''' For now, however, the tour must go on! Our spectacle of sightseeing concludes with the fittingly named Journey's End. Walk down the stairs to the east, and continue straight ahead!<br /> <br /> ''Small Talk'<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Do you not feel the cold? Granted, it is not terribly chilly for these northern climes, but compared to the temperate weather of Limsa Lominsa...<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' The district of Journey's End occupies the eastern block of the city, so all we need to do is take the stairs down from the Rostra...and keep heading east, of course!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' This neighborhood is home to the highest echelons of Sharlayan society. I never did feel comfortable enough to wander these streets on a whim.<br /> <br /> ===Head to Journey's End while accompanied by G'raha Tia and Krile, and speak with Krile at the designated location. === <br /> ''(X: 14.2, Y: 8.4)''<br /> '''Krile:''' We've arrived at Journey's End! History tells us that this was where those who put ashore with Archon Nyunkrepf built their first homes.<br /> '''Krile:''' In the present day, it serves as the residential district for the most important officials and the oldest Sharlayan families.<br /> '''Krile:''' You'll see that one mansion is clearly larger than its neighbors ─ that estate belongs to our friends from House Leveilleur. All things considered, we should probably keep our distance for the time being...<br /> '''Krile:''' And with that, we bring our little Sharlayan tour to a close. I hope it has proven to be an entertaining and enlightening experience!<br /> '''Krile:''' Now, shall we head directly to the Baldesion Annex? You remember the way, don't you, Raha?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Let me think... We head down towards the harbor, cross the bridge to our right, then follow the path below the aetheryte plaza?<br /> '''Krile:''' Correct! After you, [Forename]!<br /> <br /> ''Small Talk''<br /> '''Krile:''' Have I tired you out with all this walking? Not to worry, I had rooms prepared for you at the annex.<br /> '''Krile:''' Just follow the path to the west side of the aetheryte, and we'll be there in no time.<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, the good old annex! I used to bunk there whenever I had business in the city proper.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Like the time I came to submit the thesis for my Archon qualification...<br /> <br /> '''''Conversation Point''''' ''At Journey's End.'' (X:13.9, Y:11.6)<br /> &gt; Discuss Journey's End.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Right, we cross this bridge here, as I recall. Stick to the path, and be careful not to end up back in the aetheryte plaza!<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Sharlayan is full of educational and research institutions, but there are still professors who prefer to establish their own private practices.<br /> '''Krile:''' Not that I ever attended the exclusive schools they run in these residences... Perhaps the twins could tell you more about them.<br /> <br /> ===Head to the Baldesion Annex while accompanied by G'raha Tia and Krile, and speak with Krile at the designated location.===<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' This is it! The Baldesion Annex!<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' As the joyous look on Raha's face has undoubtedly informed you, this is the Baldesion Annex.<br /> '''Krile:''' If you continue up the hill, you'll arrive on the doorstep of Phenomenon...but I think we've explored enough for one day. We can take you there another time.<br /> '''Krile:''' Inside with you, then!<br /> <br /> ''Cutscene''<br /> '''Krile:''' I'm back! And I've brought [Forename] and Raha with me. <br /> '''???:''' Ah, you were right about the ship, then. Hello, G'raha, it's nice to see you again!<br /> '''???:''' And it's a pleasure to finally meet ''you'', [Forename]. I've heard many a tale of your exploits.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ojika!? Ojika Tsunjika! It has been an age...<br /> <br /> ''(If WoL has NOT been to Eureka)''<br /> '''Krile:''' Allow me to introduce Ojika Tsunjika ─ administration officer for the Students of Baldesion. He oversees the day-to-day business of the annex. <br /> '''Ojika Tsunjika:''' The “champion of Eorzea” has featured prominently in Krile and G'raha's reports, so for me, this is akin to seeing a fabled hero come to life! It is an honor to make your acquaintance. <br /> <br /> ''(If WoL has been to Eureka)''<br /> '''Krile:''' Allow me to introduce Ojika Tsunjika ─ administration officer for the Students of Baldesion. He oversees the day-to-day business of the annex. You may recall meeting his cousin, Ejika?<br /> '''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Oh yes, Eureka. I've read the initial reports ─ quite a shock to hear what's become of the isle. Do take care if you have the opportunity to rejoin the expedition.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' This place is like a second home for the Students... The Isle of Val served as our main headquarters, of course, but we often had occasion to visit Sharlayan.<br /> '''Krile:''' Whether to make use of the city's research facilities, attend conferences, or procure supplies from distant shores...<br /> '''Krile:''' And the annex here was built to provide lodgings for our members while we engaged in such activities.<br /> '''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Ever since our former headquarters ─ along with the isle itself ─ vanished, the annex has served as our base of operations.<br /> '''Ojika Tsunjika:''' And yet it feels so empty. With so many lost to us, our organization is a shell of its former self.<br /> '''Krile:''' The day will come when we will see the Students rise again...<br /> '''Krile:''' But first, we must ensure that the Telophoroi fall!<br /> '''Krile:''' Through that door on the left there is the main hall, where we can discuss our options moving forward.<br /> '''Krile:''' ...Once everyone arrives, that is. You probably have time to rest before our discussions begin in earnest.<br /> '''Krile:''' I've had private quarters prepared for you in the andron, so please, feel free to make yourself at home!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, the nap rooms! Perfect for an afternoon doze...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Oh, I didn't mean to give you the wrong impression ─ the chambers are quite well appointed! Far more so than some cheap roadside inn, you may be assured.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' 'Twas simply that we were often so busy with research, or exhausted from journeys abroad, that we would slip into the andron just to steal a few winks.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' And thus they became known amongst the Students as “nap rooms” ─ even if many such “naps” might last well into the following morning!<br /> '''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Say the word, and I'll be happy to show you to your chamber.<br /> '''Krile:''' Hopefully the others won't be too long in coming! I'll wait for you all in the main hall.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Do you have papers pasted on the walls of your room? 'Twas not unusual for occupants to pin up notes or documents and such, and then forget to take them when they went on their merry way.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Sometimes it was quite deliberate, though. You might see complaints addressed to other members, or a thank-you card for the engrossing literature someone left behind.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Beloved traditions...that I should know better than to dwell upon. If we are to create a future for the Students of Baldesion and so many others, we must look to the days ahead.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Krile in the main hall.===<br /> '''Krile:''' Feeling refreshed and alert? Our colleagues should be wandering in soon, so I suggest we stay here and wait for them to join us.<br /> <br /> | Voiced cutscene |<br /> '''Urianger:''' Pray forgive me. I was delayed...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It's fine, Urianger. We're all here now.<br /> '''Krile:''' Let's get down to business then, shall we?<br /> '''Krile:''' Come what may, we must prevent the Telophoroi's plans from coming to fruition. At present, I see two paths for gathering the information which may aid us in achieving that goal.<br /> '''Krile:''' The first involves an investigation into the change which has come over Sharlayan, not to mention the recent, inscrutable behavior of the Forum.<br /> '''Krile:''' As most of you know, the ninety-nine members of the Forum are elected from the general populace. This alone guarantees a plethora of opinion with regards to foreign policy.<br /> '''Krile:''' The Bibliothecs, for example, are a group of conservatives which would have Sharlayan focus on recording history, while remaining entirely uninvolved in the making of it.<br /> '''Krile:''' And at the other extreme, we have advocates for proactive diplomacy and direct intervention. My grandfather, Galuf, was one such member, as was Archon Louisoix.<br /> '''Krile:''' Yet despite our diverse factions and philosophies, the recent vote to deny Eorzea's request for assistance was unanimous.<br /> '''Krile:''' Even more concerning was the fact that many cited other, more pressing duties as justification for their recalcitrance.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Fourchenault's refusal in Gridania had those same undertones. 'Twas as if, having stared unblinking into the face of impending doom, he'd simply turned away to pursue something more important. But what could that possibly be?<br /> '''Krile:''' A mystery, indeed, and one which I ask for your help to solve. Our future may depend on it.<br /> '''Krile:''' As for our second potential path, it concerns a request made directly to the Students of Baldesion.<br /> '''Krile:''' Our organization was founded primarily to study strange and unexplained phenomena the world over. Mysterious relics and ruins, arcane disturbances, and so forth.<br /> '''Krile:''' Compared to our more isolationist Sharlayan colleagues, we have strong connections overseas─namely with scholars and academics who share our passion for the unknown.<br /> '''Krile:''' The request in question comes from one such acquaintance ─ Nidhana, an alchemist residing in distant Thavnair.<br /> '''Krile:''' Her missive describes the sudden appearance of a tower, and the subsequent summoning of what I can only assume is a lunar primal.<br /> '''Krile:''' In response to this threat, the satrap of Radz-at-Han ─ the individual who governs the city-state ─ has instructed the alchemists to find a means to deal with the spire.<br /> '''Urianger:''' The artisans of that land are heirs to an ancient tradition ─ one rather unlike that of their Ul'dahn counterparts.<br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Tis possible ─ nay, probable ─ that they have gleaned truths unattainable by Eorzea or her Far Eastern allies.<br /> '''Krile:''' They do, in fact, appear to have a strategy in mind, though it will require further research. To that end, they have requested an introduction to a capable warrior shielded by the blessing of Light.<br /> ''Y'shtola turns to the WOL.''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Assuming we divide our forces to pursue both of Krile's lines of inquiry, then having you join the group heading to Thavnair would seem the obvious choice.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' But the investigation in Sharlayan is of vital importance as well. Equal, I think, to the Thavnairian one, given that the fate of the world may hinge on the results of both.<br /> '''Krile:''' Yes, it is quite the quandary.<br /> '''Krile:''' Though it is a great imposition─and an altogether - too-common one ─ our efforts would be more likely to succeed were you to lead the charge on both fronts.<br /> '''Krile:''' You are indeed our champion. As to which task to tackle first, we will defer to your decision. Let us next decide how everyone else might best be assigned.<br /> '''Krile:''' As for myself, I shall continue what I've begun in Sharlayan. I should also like to steal the services of an Archon or two.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' And thereby gain access to a greater range of reading material. I will help with that.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Allow me to offer my assistance. I have some small amount of experience in the field of research.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie and I would also like to help, if you would have us.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Anything to understand even a fraction of what our father and the Forum might be thinking.<br /> '''Krile:''' Of course, the more the merrier!<br /> '''Thancred:''' Right, the rest of us will make the journey to Thavnair.<br /> ''Thancred turns to Estinien.'' <br /> '''Thancred:''' Thoughts? Objections?<br /> '''Estinien:''' I passed through Thavnair on my way to infiltrate the Empire, and though I'm not qualified to give a guided tour, I did gain a sense of where things lie.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I'll be happy to have you along then. So for this group, it will be you, me, and Urianger.<br /> '''Krile:''' Give me a moment afterwards, and I'll supply you with all the details of Nidhana's request.<br /> '''Krile:''' Consider this hall our rendezvous point once our respective tasks are complete. May our investigations prove fruitful!<br /> | Voiced cutscene end |<br /> <br /> ''Optional Dialog for Old Sharlayan group''<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' If the Forum is intent on concealing its intentions, then a cursory investigation will avail us little, I suspect. We will need to dig deeper─and with the greatest of care...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I still don't understand how the vote could be unanimous... What could possibly convince them all to turn their backs on Eorzea?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Our tour of the city was a pleasant distraction. I feel more than ready now to tackle the challenges of the day!<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' The process by which Forum members are elected is fair and equitable─neither wealth nor social standing offers any advantages to a prospective candidate. But fairly elected or not, Master Matoya still found them all to be insufferable.<br /> <br /> ''Optional Dialog for Thavnair group''<br /> '''Estinien:''' So it's back to Thavnair... Had I known earlier, I would have considered more suitable attire.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Though I have read much on the subject of Radz-at-Han, this visit shall be my first. 'Twill be interesting to see how the Hannish mean to contend with the tower, different as their magical and technological disciplines are.<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Plan your time accordingly. <br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> * Speak with [[Venat]].<br /> * Enter [[Ktisis Hyperboreia]].<br /> * Speak with [[Venat]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> *Hythlodaeus is pondering what to do next.<br /> <br /> *Hermes has taken refuge within the observational facility of Ktisis Hyperboreia. Although the reasons to do so are as diverse as the company you keep, it is decided that you will chase down and confront the chief overseer and his creation.<br /> <br /> *You arrive at the front door to find the facility in a state of alert. The scholars milling outside seem oblivious as to who sounded the alarum or why, but for you and your companions, the circumstances of this emergency are crystal clear. Wary of what other obstacles Hermes may have placed in your path, you assign roles, square your shoulders, and prepare to march into the magically expanded environs of Ktisis Hyperboreia.<br /> ** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.<br /> <br /> *You fight your way through the many fields and floors of the facility until at last you reach the highest platform in Ktisis Hyperboreia. There awaits an unrepentant and transformed Hermes, who refuses to surrender Meteion into the Convocation's custody. A tempestuous battle ensues, but in the end, your efforts to subdue the chief overseer prove successful...<br /> <br /> *Silent until now, Hermes's question about happiness amongst the stars prompts Meteion to step forward and describe the anguished desperation of the races she encountered. She declares her intention to relieve all life of the burden of existence, and Hermes, after binding your companny in chains of aether, accepts this ultimatum as a challenge to the worthiness of mankind. In order to ensure the &quot;fairness&quot; of the determination, the chief summons Kairos to alter the memories of everyone present, such that all that occurred since your arrival in Elpis would be wiped clean. Before the process begins, however, he bids Meteion escape to the edge of the universe, knowing that he will soon believe her and her sisters to have perished in an accident. It is then that Venat breaks her shackles and chases the entelechy into the sky. Likewise freed of your bonds, you and Hythlodaeus distract Hermes, while Emet-Selch tears a hole in the spatial confluence to afford you and escape route. Venat returns from her failed pursuit just in time to have Argos bear you both through the portal and evade the Kairos-induced amnesia. Hythlodaeus and Emet-Selch are not so fortunate, and now it falls to you and Venat to remember - and safeguard - your respective realities.<br /> <br /> *Rested somewhat from the encounter, you listen in sadness as Venat explains what will likely become of Hermes now that Meteion is gone. In an instant, it seems that so much was lost, but there is much that remains for you to do...<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Do ''you'' understand why Hermes would do this? His logic escapes me entirely...<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' If all Hermes means to do is listen to Meteion's report, then it is his right to do so.<br /> '''Venat:''' But once he receives the answers to his question, what then? The fate of the world may very well hinge upon the choice he makes in that moment...and we must be there when he makes it.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Hermes has headed to Ktisis.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Considering the expansive dimensions of the place, even we may have a difficult time locating his aether. All I can say is that he entered from the rooftop, and likely arrived at the uppermost point in the facility.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' So...do we pursue him?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Of course we pursue him. No matter what Hermes might be thinking, Meteion is a potential threat that needs to be brought under our control.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The Convocation's duty to safeguard this star takes precedence over any personal stake in the matter.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Venat? [Forename]?<br /> '''Venat:''' 'Tis clear we stand on a precipice, but we have yet to determine beyond a shadow of a doubt that Meteion's is the hand which tips us over the edge.<br /> '''Venat:''' Nevertheless, if we are to learn the truth of the Final Days, we must give chase. And even if neither Hermes nor Meteion is ultimately responsible, we cannot leave them to suffer this torment alone.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Agreed on all counts. To Ktisis Hyperboreia we go!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Judging from the crowd, something is afoot.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I mislike the look of this...<br /> <br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' I saw naught out of the ordinary. Does anyone know what caused it?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Venat:''' What have we here...?<br /> '''Venat:''' Excuse me, has something happened inside Ktisis?<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Mistress Venat! I'm so glad you're here!<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' No one knows what prompted it, but the alarum was sounded and Ktisis put into a state of alert.<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Procedure dictated that we evacuate immediately, and we have yet to investigate further...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...This is Hermes's doing. Obviously.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And what does this “state of alert” entail exactly?<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' A field of dampening magick is draped over the entire facility, usually in response to escaped entities and the like.<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Ktisis scholars and observers are unaffected, but everything ─ and everyone ─ else is weakened to a fraction of their usual capabilities.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Then consider us forewarned. We do, however, have urgent business with Chief Hermes, and must enter the premises regardless.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' ...That said, if Hermes is willing to enact such measures, I wonder what other obstacles he has seen fit to drop in our path.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' With that enfeebling spell in place, we're not like to be at our fighting best.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And I was hardly an effective combatant to begin with! I've little to offer beyond my aetherial vision.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Then you will put that talent of yours to good use. You were fairly skilled at spotting weaknesses, if I recall.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' “Fairly skilled”? Now you've gone and raised everyone's expectations...<br /> '''Venat:''' You all need only make the most of your strengths, and I will fill in the gaps as required.<br /> '''Venat:''' I was once Azem, after all. 'Twas my job to rise to the occasion ─ be that as defender, aggressor, or healer.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I feel better about my lack of prowess already!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And you, Emet-Selch, can impress us with your arcane majesty. You lob potent spells as easily as breathing, but can also channel that power in a protective manner if you so choose, yes?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Eh!? Well, yes, should the situation call for it...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Excellent! That should cover us on all fronts.<br /> '''Venat:''' Your tale led us here, [Forename], so 'tis only right that you lead us now. No matter what lies ahead, we will win through to Hermes and Meteion.<br /> '''Venat:''' And then we will face the future together!<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;Ktisis Hyperboreia now accessible.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I said that Hermes was likely perched somewhere at the highest point of the facility, but reaching him will be no mean feat.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' To put it simply, Ktisis Hyperboreia contains a multitude of vast spaces linked together at the seams, meaning the interior is far more massive than even this grand structure might otherwise suggest.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' But even a colossal facility filled top to bottom with savage creations will not stop you ─ not with Venat and Emet-Selch at your side. And I will be there too, of course, cheering you on!<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' Bleak as the contents of Meteion's report might be, many could hear it and remain content with their lives.<br /> '''Venat:''' But not Hermes. For him, the veneer of perfection has long been cracked, and it was to the distant heavens he looked for the means to repair it.<br /> '''Venat:''' I understand his anguish after a fashion ─ my own refusal to return is in opposition to the world's established order.<br /> '''Venat:''' Yet for me, the imperfections only enhance the fragile beauty of our star. I will fight to see it delivered from destruction, warts and all.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' From the moment we met you, our visit has devolved into a never-ending series of complications and irritations. In spite of this, I have gained one useful thing:<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' An awareness of dynamis. To think that a power with the potential to corrupt aether had largely escaped our notice...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Whether or not I believe your tale, the facts underpinning your narrative will be the source of much debate.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' So understand that I act not for the sake of you or your fantastical quest. My duty demands that I apprehend Meteion ─ and if that now means Hermes as well, then so be it.<br /> <br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' I will not seek to impede such an august company from going about its business. But please, do be aware that many of the specimens within are far from docile.<br /> <br /> '''After Ktisis Hyperboreia'''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' It's over, Hermes. In the name of the Convocation, I hereby take Meteion into custody.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And setting aside the matter of your nomination, you will come with us, too. We require your knowledge to assess and resolve the situation.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Meteion... I'm so sorry... Would that I could have listened to your report in full...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Reflected upon its meaning and conveyed it to others ─ that they might reconsider their chosen course...<br /> '''Hermes:''' But I have failed, and that wish will never be realized. However...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Ere our fates become the province of others, I bid you tell me...just one thing.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Was there happiness in those distant stars?<br /> '''Hermes:''' Was there a reason for living?<br /> '''Meteion:''' We conducted our search as per your instructions.<br /> '''Meteion:''' We scoured historical records. Communed with the spirits of the deceased.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Heard the final testaments of the dying. Welcomed their shadowed hearts into our own.<br /> '''Meteion:''' One race had striven to create a world bereft of animosity.<br /> '''Meteion:''' They renounced relationships to avoid interpersonal strife, and in so doing brought about societal collapse.<br /> '''Meteion:''' One race had renounced war and devoted itself to the enrichment of its people.<br /> '''Meteion:''' They were conquered. Though they destroyed the enemy in reprisal, they could not regain their former glory.<br /> '''Meteion:''' One race had concluded that finite time was the root of all woes. Aspiring to shatter its shackles, they went in search of infinity.<br /> '''Meteion:''' They discovered nothing is infinite, and that neither time or death can be cheated. Disillusioned, they gave up on the future ─ and themselves.<br /> '''Meteion:''' One race had discarded all things that gave rise to sorrow, hoping to have only joy.<br /> '''Meteion:''' They found joy lost its savor in the absence of sorrow, and lost their will to live.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Though worlds apart, these peoples shared a belief. The belief that they had tried their best.<br /> '''Meteion:''' That they had tried to fulfill their potential, with every step and success.<br /> '''Meteion:''' In the course of which they learned the truth.<br /> '''Meteion:''' That they would never be free of fear and sorrow, anger and despair ─ of loneliness ─ so long as they yet lived.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Even now, their souls cry out for oblivion. And to this song of anguish, I lend my voice. We lend our voice.<br /> '''Meteion:''' O beloved mankind, shimmering jewels of beautiful Etheirys... Rejoice, for we will free you from the cruel yoke of existence.<br /> '''Meteion:''' There is no need to struggle in vain, for in nihility awaits salvation. You will know peace and serenity...and it will be beautiful.<br /> '''Meteion:''' We will make our nest at the edge of the universe, and there in the dark of dead worlds hoard sorrow and suffering.<br /> '''Meteion:''' There we will sing, our chorus ever louder and ever clearer, that our song may reach even this aether-shrouded star.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Such is the answer we have found in the stars. Such is the gift we now offer to Etheirys.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Who are you to decide our fate? To decree we live or die?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Have you lost your mind!? You heard what she said! She means to destroy us all, yet you'd still take her side!?<br /> '''Hermes:''' In the name of the star, we have discarded those creations that we deemed flawed.<br /> '''Hermes:''' If we ourselves are flawed, does it not stand to reason that we too should be discarded?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' That is sophistry and you know it!<br /> '''Hermes:''' Perhaps it is. Perhaps I am wrong. But who is to say that you are right?<br /> '''Hermes:''' Let us settle this with a determination.<br /> '''Hermes:''' In my authority as chief overseer of Elpis, I will make a judgment on man's fitness to exist.<br /> '''Hermes:''' If he can learn to value all life and retain his will to live, even should his end be justified, he will surely find a way to avert his demise.<br /> '''Hermes:''' If not, he will perish from the star.<br /> '''Hermes:''' As with all determinations, provisions must be made to ensure fairness.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Kairos! Awaken!<br /> '''Kairos:''' Memory reconfiguration system Kairos activated. Awaiting instruction.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Command: universal memory alteration. Target area: Ktisis Hyperboreia.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Starting point: arrival of Emet-Selch of the Convocation at Propylaion. End point: the present.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Erase the memories of all events, and replace with a vague recollection of the following:<br /> '''Hermes:''' I was here, preparing to demonstrate the functionality of Kairos to Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Meteion's shared consciousness became unstable. She and her sisters could not sustain their existence, and all dissipated with a burst.<br /> '''Hermes:''' The resultant shockwave accidentally triggered Kairos, which erased several days of memories from all present. Execute.<br /> kairos: Command acknowledged. Initializing... Three processes remaining to execution.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Bravo. I daresay one would be hard-pressed to make it fairer...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Everything that you told us, everything that has happened ─ the fact we've even met... It will all be gone.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Go, Meteion. To the edge of the universe, where none can reach you.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes. Won't you come with me? If you were to shed your flesh, I should be able to carry you.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I will remain. As a man, I will oppose the oblivion you bring.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Silly fool... Had you said yes, I would've granted you the gentlest end.<br /> '''Venat:''' This ends here!<br /> '''Hermes:''' Fly, Meteion!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' That is far enough, Hermes!<br /> '''Venat:''' Argos, to me!<br /> '''Kairos:''' First process complete. Two remaining to execution of memory reconfiguration.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' As if we needed more pressure...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' No matter what, you cannot forget what happened today. For it is the key to saving your future─your world.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' This fight is our fight; what comes after, our problem to contend with. Not yours.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' No, your own struggle awaits. And no one else can take your place.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' You must flee this place with your memories intact ─ and I will see that you do!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Now then, where is it...?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' There you are, my little confluence.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' Almost...<br /> '''Venat:''' Very well, then.<br /> '''Venat:''' You may elude us this day, but not forever!<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Meteion's gotten away...<br /> '''Kairos:''' Second process complete. One remaining to execution.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' No time for brooding.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Listen well. Beyond lies a spatial confluence that connects the interior sections of this building.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I will destroy the confluence and force open a way outside. When I do, you must jump through.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I cannot tell you how sorry I am...<br /> '''Hermes:''' ...But neither can I let you escape!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Too brave by half...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Exemplary work as always, Emet-Selch!<br /> '''Hermes:''' What? But how? I thought the confluence was over...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Over there? Yes, we were rather hoping you would.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' It was never anywhere but where it is now.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The instant those two began making their way towards nothing, 'twas clear the plan was a diversion.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I'm quite incapable of destroying a confluence, I must confess.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' A gambit brazen beyond words. Though we've grown accustomed to reckless improvision due to the antics of an incorrigible associate.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Though in the case of certain present company, “incorrigible” is an understatement.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Honestly, I'm beginning to suspect it's a requirement for every Azem.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' There's no time! Quickly!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Even now, I do not believe your tale. I would not suffer us to walk such a wretched path.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Still, if it must be said...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Do not squander it. The legacy I leave you.<br /> '''Kairos:''' Final process complete. Executing universal memory alteration.<br /> '''Venat:''' Go, Argos!<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' I'm fine. Just a little tired.<br /> '''Venat:''' Can it be true?<br /> '''Venat:''' Are we the only ones left who see beauty in the world ─ in life?<br /> '''Venat:''' Are the stars above no more than husks of fallen civilizations?<br /> '''Venat:''' And yet...<br /> '''Venat:''' ...I feel her. Though she is unimaginably distant, I feel Meteion's presence ─ and the place whereto we must go.<br /> '''Venat:''' Ere she made good her escape, I placed an enchantment upon her. One which allows us to follow her trail.<br /> '''Venat:''' She has already left the outermost bounds of Etheirys, and continues on her way. Given the vastness of the universe, it will still be no easy feat to track her down.<br /> '''Venat:''' But thanks to Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus, all is not lost. We remember.<br /> '''Venat:''' So long as we remember, our fates remain ours to shape.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; What became of the others, I wonder...<br /> '''Venat:''' I'd like to know too. Let us ascertain the situation at Ktisis Hyperboreia, where they should still be.<br /> &gt; So... what now?<br /> '''Venat:''' What indeed. Let us begin by ascertaining the situation at Ktisis Hyperboreia, where the others should still be.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' Given the likely state of their memories, however, 'twould be imprudent for us to approach them directly. In which case...<br /> '''Venat:''' I am sorry, my friend. I've asked much of you this day, but may I trouble you one last time?<br /> '''Venat:''' Argos will investigate in our stead. We will share in his consciousness, and see and hear as if we were with him.<br /> '''Venat:''' Now, close your eyes and open your mind...<br /> <br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Thank goodness you are unharmed.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Unharmed? There is a gaping hole in my memories. I can scarcely remember arriving here in Elpis...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Forgive me...<br /> '''Hermes:''' I was preparing to demonstrate the functionality of Kairos to our guests.<br /> '''Hermes:''' But Meteion...her shared consciousness became unstable. And she...she...<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' So that's what prompted the state of alert.<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' And when you went to investigate, you were caught in Kairos's accidental operation.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' So it would seem... It's all a blur to me.<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Such an unfortunate accident... Oh, and what of Venat and your other companion? You went inside together, as I recall.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' We did?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If Venat was with us, I have no recollection of it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' But that there is her familiar, is it not? The fellow seems happy enough, so I think it safe to assume his mistress is well.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I haven't the slightest notion who this other companion might be, however...<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Ah, well, that individual struck me as a bit...different, for want of a better word.<br /> '''Ktisis Scholar:''' Perhaps it wasn't actually a person, but some manner of creation.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Curious... I must ask Venat about it when next we meet.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Yes, yes, you do that. Now, if we may tend to Hermes? Whatever this Meteion did, it seems he bore the brunt of it.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Once you are fit to travel, you will return with us to Amaurot. We need to make certain there are no other ill effects.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Also─I am here on business of the Fourteen. We've already had the conversation, like as not, but since your toy wiped my memory, we'll have to have it again.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Yes, of course. As you see fit.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' This Kairos ─ it manipulates memories through the emission of aetheric waves, correct?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' There is a theory which holds that memories scoured by blasts of aether are restored when the soul is cleansed in the Underworld.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If true, then perhaps when our time comes to return to the star, we shall remember these few days we have lost.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I doubt aught of interest occurred. Look forward to the revelation if you like, but I should prefer to reminisce on more meaningful moments.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' Let us rest. If only for a while.<br /> '''Venat:''' After all, you and I... We still have a long, long way to go.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Are you feeling at all recovered? I understand that your exertions were more than purely physical, but resting one's body, if only for a moment, is never without merit.<br /> '''Venat:''' As for Hermes... I think it unlikely he will create more entelechies.<br /> '''Venat:''' He poured much of himself into Meteion, and now that she and her sisters are gone ─ dissipated, in his mind ─ the grief must be unbearable.<br /> '''Venat:''' He will blame himself. He will believe that, had he never acknowledged his dissatisfaction with the world, then the Meteia would have never been born to suffer and die.<br /> '''Venat:''' The offer to join the Fourteen will be a welcome distraction, and one day hence, he will face the advent of the Final Days in the role of Fandaniel...<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> <br /> * During her report, Meteion makes mention of multiple fallen civilizations. The former three are most likely the people from the eighth end from [[The Dead Ends]], the [[Ea]], and the people from the seventeenth end, respectively.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

These function as &quot;extra lives&quot;, healing you to full if you take damage that would otherwise defeat you. Important mechanics include:<br /> * '''Tidal Wave''': You will get knocked into AoE on one side of the room, resulting in stunning. Water puddles (circles) will be left behind for the next mechanics.<br /> ** '''Judgment Bolt''': Room-wide AoE. Do NOT stand in the puddles.<br /> ** '''Hellfire''': Room-wide AoE. Stand in the puddles to mitigate damage.<br /> * '''Akh Morn''': Chain of targeted hits. Mitigate or heal through it.<br /> * '''Come Hither''': Summons Zenos's Avatar, which will cast another mechanic.<br /> * '''Star beyond Stars''': Multiple AoEs covering the whole room. Watch the order in which the telegraphs appear and dodge them.<br /> ** '''The Edge Unbound''' (Cast by Zenos's Avatar): Circle AoE on the avatar. Move away.<br /> * '''Wyrm's Tongue''' (No cast bar): Cone attack. Stand aside when he says &quot;'''Mine for the taking!'''&quot;. If you wait until the visual telegraph appears, you will not have enough time to get out.<br /> * '''Nine Nights''' (No cast bar): 3x3 circle AoEs. Watch the order in which the telegraphs appear and dodge them.<br /> * '''Veil Asunder''' (No cast bar): Targeted Circle AoE. Run when he says &quot;'''A test of your reflexes!'''&quot;. If you wait until the visual telegraph appears, you will not have enough time to get out.<br /> * '''Exaflare''': Moving AoEs from 2 sides of the room to the other, and a donut AoE. Dodge them. I recommend standing on one side of the room, between 2 of the moving AoEs, then stepping aside to dodge the other wave.<br /> * '''Diamond Dust''': Freezes the floor, making it slippery. This will affect handling of other mechanics.<br /> * '''Dead Gaze''' (Cast by Zenos's Avatar): Gaze. Look away to avoid petrification.<br /> <br /> ※ For '''Wyrm's Tongue''' and '''Veil Asunder''' (Where you have to listen for him saying &quot;'''Mine for the taking!'''&quot; and &quot;'''A test of your reflexes!'''&quot; respectively), a speech bubble appears above his head as he says his line. Players who are deaf or hard of hearing will need to watch for the speech bubble and act accordingly.<br /> <br /> Phase 1 ends on reducing Zenos to 0% health. You must have at least 1 stack of {{status effect|debuff|File:Spark of hope icon1.png}} '''Spark of Hope''' to survive the change to the next phase.<br /> <br /> ====Phase 2====<br /> Zenos heals to full, then stuns you with an instant untelegraphed '''Swift as Shadow''' and attacks you with '''Thorns''', reducing you to 1 health. One stack of {{status effect|debuff|File:Spark of hope icon1.png}} '''Spark of Hope''' will be consumed to heal you to full. Additional mechanics include:<br /> * '''Aetherial Ray''': Unavoidable attack chain. Mitigate or heal through it. Casts Silvered Edge immediately after.<br /> ** '''Silvered Edge''': Three line AoEs splitting the arena into thirds, with 120 degree arcs between them. One is directly in front of Zenos, so step beck and aside to avoid.<br /> * '''Swift as Shadow''': Rectangle AoE. Simply step aside.<br /> * '''Candlewick''': Circle AoE, then a donut AoE immediately after. Dodge them.<br /> * '''Unmoving Dvenadkatika''': Cone AoEs surrounding the boss in clockwise order. Stand in the last cone telegraph, then move to the first cone immediately after it goes off.<br /> ** '''The Edge Unbound''': Circle AoE on the boss immediately after Unmoving Dvenadkatika. Move away.<br /> <br /> On reducing Zenos to 0% health, he stuns and beats you down to 1 health again.<br /> * '''Life or Death''': Quick Time Event. Rapidly press the button to fill the bar before the 20 second timer reaches 0.<br /> <br /> After completing the Quick Time Event, the fight ends with your victory.<br /> <br /> ===Notes===<br /> {{see also|Level 90 Gear Guide}}<br /> Completion of this quest unlocks the [[Allagan Tomestone]] exchanges in [[Radz-at-Han]].<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> * Enter {{questlink|dungeon|the Dead Ends}}.<br /> * Confront [[the Endsinger]] on {{questlink|trial|the Final Day}}.<br /> * Defeat [[Zenos]].<br /> * Speak with your comrades. 0/8<br /> * Speak with [[Tataru]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> *The Scions of the Seventh Dawn stand ready for the finale.<br /> <br /> *Having come this far together, everyone's resolve is beyond doubt, and there is little left to say. All that remains is to sally forth into {{questlink|dungeon|The Dead Ends}} on your way to your reckoning with Meteion.<br /> ** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.<br /> <br /> *With your staunch comrades at your side, you cut a path through foes born of despair to arrive at the innermost part of the Dead Ends. Just beyond lies the heart of Meteion's dominion, and you steel yourself for the confrontation to come.<br /> **※In the event that you leave the area, you may return from Absolute Horizon in Ultima Thule.<br /> <br /> *After a journey through time immemorial and space immeasurable, you finally come face-to-face with the true Meteion. The familiar marshals the despair of countless ruined stars to arise as the Endsinger, and unleashes her might against you. Though you fight resolutely, one after another your comrades are overpowered, and it is all you can do to activate your teleporter and deliver them to safety. Just when it seems you must contend with your fearsome foe alone, help arrives in the most unexpected of forms─Zenos as a dragon. Though his foremost desire as ever remains glorious battle with you, he lends you his wings that you might first dispense with the distraction. Thus do you take to the air, to silence the song of oblivion once and for all.<br /> **※{{questlink|trial|The Final Day}} can be accessed via the Duty Finder.<br /> <br /> *In a struggle between hope and despair, the stakes no less than the continued existence of life itself, the Endsinger brings her all to bear against you. More than once, the mighty being pushes you beyond your limits, but given strength by the prayers of your comrades, you weather the relentless onslaught to deliver the decisive blow. In defeat the Endsinger falls, and you descend after her.<br /> **※In the event that you leave the area, you may return from Absolute Horizon in Ultima Thule.<br /> <br /> *Amidst an endless darkness, you find Meteion alone, as the familiar she once was. You share with her all that you felt during your journeys─from sweetest triumphs to bitterest defeats─and by this act, she finally finds the answer which she had sought all along. Filled with joy for the discovery and remorse for her deeds, she offers to sing one last song before she falls forever silent─a song of hope unbridled─and creates a path to deliver you back to your comrades. But ere you leave, Zenos arrives to issue you challenge. Though he allows you the choice to walk away, it is past time to put an end to this chapter─and him.<br /> <br /> *At the end of a grueling encounter, you succeed in laying Zenos low and gifting him the bliss for which he hungered. However, you succumb to your own injuries and collapse to the ground. Your opponent breathes his last, and it seems you are destined to share his grave at the edge of existence...<br /> <br /> *Miracles happen every day. And this day, a miracle─one borne upon hopes, perhaps─has delivered you unto the Ragnarok, where you awaken surrounded by caring comrades. Though you have felt better, you are very much alive, and make a triumphant return to beautiful Etheirys, having delivered salvation to the world.<br /> <br /> :Some time later, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn gather at the Rising Stones for the final time. For as has been decided, the order shall disband─albeit only in appearance. Having done its part to usher in lasting change, it will retreat from plain sight, and instead work unobtrusively to solve the problems that plague the realm. Ere you and your comrades go your separate ways, Tataru bids everyone leave no preparations undone or words unsaid.<br /> <br /> *You take a moment to speak with each of your comrades, and hear their respective plans and aspirations. Though your destinations be disparate, and you will work apart for the foreseeable future, ever will you be united by your unseverable ties as Scions. Having said all that needs be said, you turn to inform Tataru that you are ready to set forth.<br /> <br /> *Thus are the Final Days averted, and the curtain falls on a tale spanning eons. Gone are those ancient gods who had steered the course of the world, and none can say what lies ahead. Yet one thing is certain: where there is life, there is hope. A light that pierces the deepest darkness. And so long as we hold fast to it, ever will we shine a way unto the morrow. Bearing the memories of your journey thus far, of those whose lives you have touched, and who have touched you in turn, you look forward to the tales still to come.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Let's usher in an ending worthy of the grandest ovation ─ one that will give all Etheirys cause to raise their voices in celebration!<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Are you ready, [Forename]?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Then let us set forth for the reckoning.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Having come this far, I know everyone's resolve is beyond doubt. So I will say only this.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Within that dead sun swirls the emotions that Meteion has hoarded. The emotions of innumerable souls who strove for happiness but failed.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' As it was with the denizens of Ultima Thule that barred our way, it is not for us to rebuke and admonish.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' 'Twas not by passing judgment on the tragic legacies of others that we arrived at this moment.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Rather, it was by opening our hearts to their despair ─ by understanding and acknowledging their fates, while still refusing to share in them ourselves. To hold fast to hope, not in ignorance but by choice.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Should you struggle to do so, I am here to help. As you have all helped me.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; We will prevail!<br /> &gt; Everyone's going home today. Understood?<br /> &gt; Let's put an end to the end. <br /> <br /> '''All:''' Aye!<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;The Dead Ends now accessible&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Optional Dialogue''<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus created these flowers from our hopes.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' If so, mine and Alisaie's shall live on here...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The hope that you will find happiness at journey's end.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' So let us go, [Forename], and see this tale to its conclusion!<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' As Alphinaud says, everyone's resolve is beyond doubt. Yet ere we set forth, there is a thought to which I must give voice.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' While you were in Elpis, I understand that people assumed you were a familiar.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' In contrast, those phantoms we encountered in the recreated Amaurot regarded us as children.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' As people, albeit naive and immature.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' The discrepancy, I posit, is a reflection of their creator's perspective. Having spent eons among sundered men, perhaps he came to acknowledge us, even if only subconsciously.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' With Emet-Selch gone, we may never learn the truth. But I will not suffer this and countless other mysteries to go unsolved. Our journey will not end this day.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus far, we have encountered recreations of some few stars. Doubtless they account for but a fraction of the innumerable worlds to whose fall Meteion did bear witness.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Roiling with torment, the dead sun is forsooth oblivion's apotheosis. It shall be no small coup to breach this nexus of despair.<br /> '''Urianger:''' And yet, as this vista doth prove, where there is hope, there is a way. So let us press forward together, as e'er we have, and find our way unto victory.<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' It seems our arms and armor are in order, as are our personal effects.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Most importantly, we have each other. We need only finish what we came here to do.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Avert the end. For Minfilia, for Ryne, for all who aspire to live.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' So, the moment of reckoning is finally upon us... I must say, when I pledged myself to your cause, never did I imagine that it would bring me to the very edge of existence.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Not that I'm complaining, mind you. After casting aside vengeance and shedding title and duty, I found myself wanting for purpose. In journeying with you, there has been nary a dull moment.<br /> '''Estinien:''' In the course of it all, I feel as though I have found a new place for myself. And a welcome opportunity to see how much the boy has grown.<br /> '''Estinien:''' I owe you a debt, aye. But as you can guess, I've ever preferred to express my gratitude through action rather than word. My lance is yours.<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I am returned, thanks to you, but we still have work to do if we are to make our promise a reality.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Having you show me the sights in Ishgard, then regaling me your greatest adventures, then embarking on a new adventure together... For these things and more, I will fight.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...What? Could there possibly be an adventure greater than this one?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Of course! So long as you desire it and dare to take the first step, there is absolutely no limit!<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Just so you know, [Forename], I won't try to keep up with you in the coming battle.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' No, I mean to surpass you! If there's anyone who'll need to keep up, it's Estinien!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm not joking. Both Alphinaud and I have worked hard and come far. It's time we set our sights higher.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' So you had better watch out, else you'll find yourself in my wake!<br /> <br /> '''After The Dead Ends'''<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' That you still stand... Your determination defies all reason.<br /> '''Meteion:''' The souls within me writhe and recoil in your presence...<br /> '''Meteion:''' What must I do? What pain must I visit upon you to make you surrender to despair? <br /> '''Alisaie:''' No one is unbreakable. What pains one may weather may bring another to tears.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But therein lies our strength, for when we fall, our brothers and sisters are there to raise us up. Again and again. Without end.<br /> '''Meteion:''' I see...<br /> '''Meteion:''' But no matter how much hope exists, ever will there be more despair.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Ever will the living curse the present and lament the future.<br /> '''Meteion:''' So shall we sing until life ceases to be.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Seven hells!<br /> '''Estinien:''' On your guard!<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' Ahhh, the rage... It rises... Rises...<br /> '''Meteion:''' Stop!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Calm yourself. Please!<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' We die in pain. We die in suffering! Who are you to live? Who are you to hope!?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Hold on, my friends!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Urianger, watch out!<br /> '''Urianger:''' Alphinaud!<br /> <br /> '''The Endsinger:''' We cannot comprehend. We cannot know. We cannot know!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Don't, please! Don't do this to them. To yourself!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Just one good strike.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Stop. Please, stop!<br /> <br /> '''The Endsinger:''' We will not suffer alone...<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' All will know our pain!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' No you don't!<br /> <br /> '''The Endsinger:''' All awash in ice. A frozen waste. Forever silent!<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Wait!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Don't!<br /> <br /> '''The Endsinger:''' You gifted them escape.<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' And rendered yourself powerless.<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' Bereft of the synergy you claim is your strength. Unless you mean to call upon the dead once more.<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' Defiant to the last. But you will be one with us ere long.<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' You will be battered and torn and made to crawl. You will weep and wail and curse your impotence. Curse your life as it fades.<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' As we did! As we died!<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' Such pain and sorrow we felt... Such anguish and rage... We tried. We tried. But it was no use...<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' Only when we surrendered did we find release. Only when we embraced death.<br /> <br /> '''The Endsinger:''' So join us in despair...and embrace yours!<br /> '''The Endsinger:''' My Ultimatum... What is happening...?<br /> <br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' At the end of everything I find you, my friend.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' I sought something in you, once. As you did in me.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' When at last I understood what it was, I journeyed to Sharlayan to seek you out. Struck a bargain with the woman who shares your gift.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' In exchange for lending the Scions my aid, I was given the means to come hither.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Gorging upon what remained of the Mothercrystal, I reclaimed the form of the dragon. And hungry still for our reunion, I rode the light of the stars to you.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' I take it this is your prey.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' But why does it still live? Surely it is no match for you.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' I had assumed you would be above something so banal as despair. Am I mistaken?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; I don't want your help.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' And I'd rather not give it. Nay, I would have preferred that we enjoy a private reunion.<br /> &gt; If it comes to it, I won't save you. <br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' I care not. What I desire of you isn't succor. It is satisfaction.<br /> <br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' So come, let us dispense with this distraction, you and I!<br /> <br /> '''The Endsinger:''' You struggle in vain. You will not silence our song of oblivion!<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;The Final Day now accessible&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> '''After The Final Day'''<br /> '''Meteion:''' No matter where we flew, there was only darkness and loneliness and pain.<br /> '''Meteion:''' We couldn't find the answers Hermes yearned for. The answers he deserved.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Greetings... You who are my final encounter...<br /> '''Meteion:''' I wish to hear your words... Share your feelings... Know your thoughts.<br /> '''Meteion:''' May we please...be friends?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Yes, I can see them... The memories of a long, long journey...<br /> '''Meteion:''' So many people... The thoughts of them overflowing in your heart...<br /> '''Meteion:''' What they live for, what gives their lives meaning... There was never a single answer.<br /> '''Meteion:''' You gather pieces of happiness, precious and fragile, only to lose them. Then start again.<br /> '''Meteion:''' On and on it goes, until death takes you into its gentle embrace.<br /> '''Meteion:''' That which Hermes sent us to find...was there all this time. On Etheirys.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; It wasn't always there.<br /> &gt; We created it together.<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Like a field of flowers, perhaps. At first a single blossom, it spreads and takes on more colors.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Thank you for guiding me here. To find these words at journey's end fills me with joy.<br /> [[File:EW-Endwalker-Hope.jpg|500px|right]]<br /> '''Meteion:''' And so, before I fall forever silent, there is one thing I must do.<br /> '''Meteion:''' No expression of regret will undo what my sisters and I have done. Will restore what we have stolen.<br /> '''Meteion:''' But if you would allow it, I would sing one last song. A song of the newfound joy that swells in my heart...<br /> '''Meteion:''' Of the beauty of light when it shines across a dark and starless sea...<br /> '''Meteion:''' Of a dream that from the soil of worlds now lost to sorrow, life will spring forth once more...<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' ...Nourished by gentle rains and caressed by uplifting winds. A song of hope.<br /> '''Meteion:''' One day, life will fill the universe again. And Hermes will see this and smile.<br /> '''Meteion:''' How, I do not know. But I do know that, where there is a will, there is a way.<br /> '''Meteion:''' After all, miracles happen every day, do they not?<br /> '''Meteion:''' I will create a path back to your ship, where your dear friends await.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hold in your heart your desire to return to them, then follow my lead and walk forth.<br /> '''Meteion:''' That hope will surely guide you true.<br /> <br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' You mean to return. To the world where you are hailed as a hero.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Hear me then. Not as a hero, but as simply...you.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' As I learned in Ala Mhigo, you are a formidable foe.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Stronger than any I have faced. Against you, I need bring my all to bear.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' I need burn through the candle of my life.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' This is the sole pleasure I know, and it is the sole pleasure I have to share.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' And so I come before you. To issue challenge and offer singular bliss.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' If you wish to walk away, I will not stop you.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' You value life. You do not burn yours save for reasons you deem worthy.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Reasons such as those which brought you here. The salvation of a world and its people. The motives of a hero true.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' But there is more to you than that. You know this to be true.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' As surely as you know the thrill of pushing your body and soul to their limits. Of confronting ever-mightier foes, dancing ever closer to the precipice, wondering if this will be the one to finally, finally...fill the void.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Such pleasures, you seek for their own sake, and no other reason. Is this not so...''adventurer''?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; That, I can't deny.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Pah! Acceptance. At long last.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' The conflagration of our clash will scorch even the stars!<br /> &gt; Think what you will. But I'm not letting you leave this place.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' So you would still play the hero.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' No matter. In acceptance you betray your deception. You know full well what we are, and what we seek.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' To shine incandescent in death's shadow!<br /> &gt; I'd had enough of you. It ends here.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Finally mustered the desire to kill me, have you?<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Go on, then, Try and strike me down in this forsaken place. I shall return the favor.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Aye, let us indulge in the only worthwile pursuit, and burn our lives to their ends!<br /> <br /> ===Defeat Zenos. (Fight/Cutscene)===<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Come, then!<br /> <br /> '''After the fight with Zenos.'''<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' That I should lose again...<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' How disappointing.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Never have I understood those around me. Understood their obsessions.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Besieged by their banality, the world was a mire of tedium and trivialities.<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' But in these fleeting moments, there is...a spark. Blinding, brilliant...<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Gone...too soon...<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' What of you, my mirror? Born into this world, bestowed name, bid to seek out strife and adventure...<br /> <br /> ''The memories of your past adventurers in the main story flashes as Zenos speaks to you.''<br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Was this life a gift...or a burden?<br /> <br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' Did you find...fulfillment?<br /> <br /> '''Zenos viator Galvus:''' I...<br /> <br /> ''The teleportation device, gifted by Wilfsunn and Bloewyda, drops from the sky, blinking. It teleports you.''<br /> <br /> '''Estinien's voice'''<br /> Can you hear... Say...<br /> '''Urianger's voice'''<br /> ...must tend to...<br /> '''G'raha Tia's voice'''<br /> Open your... ...please!<br /> '''Y'shtola's voice'''<br /> Someone...hand...<br /> '''Alphinaud's voice'''<br /> Please...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' You can't leave us... Not like this...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If you do, I'll never forgive you... So, come on! Open your eyes and get up!<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Are you...are you with us?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thank the heavens... For a moment we thought...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Is everyone all right?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' After what you've done, you're the last person...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...To be asking that.<br /> &gt; Am I really alive?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Yes, you're alive.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' You're alive...<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' You... How can you keep your promise if you're not here?<br /> '''Estinien:''' Another fine show you've put on, my friend.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A fine show, indeed...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' What were you thinking, fighting alone? Never do that again. My poor heart couldn't bear it.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Put yourself in our place. If you hadn't returned, how do you think we would feel? And if that sounds harsh...it's because we care.<br /> '''Urianger:''' We tended to thy wounds as best we could, but how is the pain?<br /> '''Urianger:''' That is gladdening. Grievous as thine injuries were, however, I would counsel repose for a time.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Gladdening!?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' There's nothing gladdening about this!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' When Meteion appeared in here and told us that you were right behind her, we all got our hopes up. But you never came!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' And when you finally deign to appear, you're within an ilm of your life!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Damn you! Damn you for making us worry!<br /> <br /> '''Livingway:''' Ah, those were cries of celebration.<br /> '''Livingway:''' Anyway, what the important thing is that you're all alive and in reasonably good health, and we mean to get you back that way.<br /> '''Livingway:''' As for your earlier request, I'm quite certain we're in range to make contact now.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Ah, excellent. Let us announce our return at once.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I hope you're ready.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' While you were unconscious, we set out from Ultima Thule, you see.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Can you stand? If so, you may wish to see what's outside.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We're home, my friend. We're home!<br /> <br /> ''The'' Ragnarok ''passes by Limsa Lominsa, Ishgard, Gridania, Ala Mihgo, Garlemald, Thavnair, Kugane, and finally, Sharlayan.

They're back!<br /> <br /> (No dialogue text in-game)<br /> '''Wilfsunn:''' Thank heavens.<br /> '''Bloewyda:''' Truly.<br /> '''Soroban:''' Welcome home!<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' Welcome home, everyone!<br /> [[File:EW-Endwalker-Tatawu.jpg|450px]]<br /> '''Tataru:''' Welcome home!<br /> <br /> '''Credits Roll'''<br /> <br /> ''As the last few credits roll, the Scions pass by Hydaelyn, Emet-Selch, Hythlodaeus, and Hermes. Meteion, as a blue bird, flies pass you, too.''<br /> <br /> [[File:EW-Endwalker-AfterCredits.jpg|450px]]<br /> <br /> ===After Credits (Cutscene)=== <br /> '''Alphinaud's voice, narrating his letter.'''<br /> Dearest Mother, Dearest Father...<br /> This letter will be the very last that I write to you from the Rising Stones.<br /> As I commit these words to parchment, I fondly recall my journey as a Scion.<br /> From the time I first walked into the order's former halls...to the time I set forth to forestall the Final Days.<br /> At the farthest reaches of the sea of stars, we fought the battle of our lives...<br /> Fought against despair itself ─ a veritable maelstrom of it fed by the resignation that dwelled in the hearts of beings not so unlike ourselves.<br /> Full oft have I harbored the same malaise. Have I been brought to my knees, crushed by the weight of sorrow and defeat, convinced that I will never rise again.<br /> However...<br /> I have also known many moments of unbridled joy and happiness.<br /> By this truth do I find hope within, blooming resplendent like the Elpis flower.<br /> And thus do I endure.<br /> Do I look forward to creating more memories with my friends and loved ones.<br /> For from these fertile seeds, yet more hope shall spring forth...<br /> And they will grow to become shining lights that illuminate the dark.<br /> Thus believing, I leave the Rising Stones behind, as will my comrades.<br /> For as we have decided after careful deliberation...<br /> We are disbanding the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' There you are, Alphinaud!<br /> '''Tataru:''' Everyone is already gathered in the foyer!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' My apologies. I'll be right there.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud's voice'''<br /> At least...that is what the story will be.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Sorry to keep you all waiting.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' What could you possibly have left to do now?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Oh, just a letter.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I imagine it will be a while before we can gather like this again.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' So it must be if we're to keep up appearances.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' From now on, it falls to the Grand Company of Eorzea and its allies to deal with the realm's crises.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Meanwhile, we shall return to our erstwhile ways.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Retreating from plain sight to take our place in the shadows once more.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed. For the foreseeable future, I expect that we must work independently as we seek out problems that want for solving.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But a day will come when we face another great challenge. And we will face it together, as we always have.<br /> '''Krile:''' As much as I look forward to that day, I do hope it doesn't come any time soon...<br /> '''Estinien:''' Well, formal association or no, if any of you should require my services, you need but ask.<br /> '''Estinien:''' I'll be glad to keep my lance arm honed.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I'll hold you to that, so you had better keep your linkpearl on hand.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' So, you really mean to stay, Tataru?<br /> '''Tataru:''' Someone has to keep the Rising Stones in proper order, and even a super-secret organization requires a super-secret base of operations.<br /> '''Tataru:''' To the rest of the world, it will be naught more than a workshop for Eorzea's foremost up-and-coming artisan!<br /> '''Tataru:''' If you thought our coffers were full to bursting before, just wait till I can devote myself wholly to the crafts.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Plotting to build a mercantile empire to rival that of Lord Lolorito, are we?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I, for one, look forward to your future successes, Tataru, as do I our next meeting.<br /> '''Tataru:''' And with that, I believe it is past time you all made ready to depart.<br /> '''Tataru:''' Leave no preparations undone or words unsaid, all right? Now, off with you!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with your comrades. (Cutscenes)===<br /> Optional Dialogue<br /> Tataru: Go on, [Forename]! Don't miss this chance to say a word to each of our friends!<br /> Tataru: After all you've been through together, I'm sure they'd appreciate it!<br /> ====Speak with Urianger====<br /> '''Urianger:''' [Forename], thou hast spoken with our comrades?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Though this parting be not forevermore, 'tis nonetheless occasion for sorrow. Akin to a pixie's path, the navigation of such farewells is a perilous endeavor indeed...<br /> '''Urianger:''' For their part, however, the Loporrits embark upon a new beginning.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Though bereft of its purpose as a vessel, the moon yet remaineth hospitable for the creatures of Etheirys.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus do our lunar visitors convene with the Forum, intent upon assigning some new and beneficial role to our solitary satellite.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet ere that may come to pass, there is much and more each party must learn of the other ─ a process which doth promise to be eventful indeed.<br /> '''Urianger:''' To that end, a cadre of Loporrits hath gleefully dispersed across our lands in the name of mutual understanding.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Hydaelyn, 'tis said, did imbue them with Her love for all things born of this star...<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...And 'tis Venat's own nature, I believe, which doth manifest in this irrepressible, inexhaustible curiosity of theirs.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Having witnessed that which they strove to achieve, I wish most keenly for their long labors to be rewarded ─ that their abiding affection for man result in a boon for all.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Moreover, I hope to continue our acquaintance, and share in such knowledge as they see fit to impart...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Acquaintance? I'd call it friendship.<br /> '''Urianger:''' I...did not wish to presume.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Aye, I would be honored should they consider me a friend.<br /> '''Urianger:''' For 'tis certainly true that I have grown fond of their company.<br /> &gt; You are the first to truly understand them.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Dost thou think so?<br /> '''Urianger:''' The Loporrits are certainly possessed of a unique outlook, and it hath been my pleasure to act as their facilitator upon this star.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Mayhap I might yet serve as a bridge betwixt them and our fellow man...as Moenbryda once did for me.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Ah, but I shall digress no further. This day should belong to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn; to mine incomparable companions.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Ofttimes hath mine reticence caused thee grief, and mine actions spurred allies to suspect betrayal...<br /> '''Urianger:''' And yet, here amongst you I still stand. No amount of words could express my gratitude for thine acceptance and forgiveness.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus instead, I do proffer my humble support.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Be it unto the deepest abyss or the highest heavens, even if I must needs founder 'cross stormy seas, ever shall I answer thy summons.<br /> <br /> ====Speak with Estinien.====<br /> '''Estinien:''' ...If you have something to say, then out with it.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Just worried how you'll earn your keep now.<br /> '''Estinien:''' You talk as if the Scions' dissolution was more than mere pretense. There may be fewer calls to action, but we should be compensated as before.<br /> '''Estinien:''' ...Why are you so concerned for me, anyway?<br /> &gt; Just wondering how I'll earn my keep now. <br /> '''Estinien:''' What, I thought you adventurers had any number of ways to earn coin. And though the Scions' mode of operation has changed, we should be compensated as before.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' In any case, I do not want for options. Even if some are worse than others...<br /> '''Estinien:''' No sooner did Aymeric hear about our disbandment than he offered me a position as a guardsman in the Empyreum district. As a former Azure Dragoon, I'm guaranteed to be popular, he said.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Who does he take me for!? Even without his meddling, I'm perfectly capable of finding employment ─ and have!<br /> '''Estinien:''' Some days ago, a Hannish envoy arrived with word from Vrtra. The wyrm requests my presence as soon as things have settled here.<br /> '''Estinien:''' He didn't deign to mention why I'm needed, but it pertains to dragons, like as not.<br /> '''Estinien:''' In Thavnair, like elsewhere, the phenomena caused by the Final Days abated when you defeated Meteion.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Though it was too late for those who had already transformed, life is beginning to return to normal for the survivors.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Of those who sought refuge in Sharlayan, most have already returned home.<br /> '''Estinien:''' But many do not have a home to return to, nor loved ones. By an arrangement between Vrtra and the Forum, such souls may remain in Sharlayan if they wish, to work and study.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Vrtra was always the satrap in truth. It's gratifying to see him become one in name as well ─ one who has the complete confidence of his people, if the envoy's tone was any indication.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Hmph, I often find myself speaking favorably of dragons of late...<br /> '''Estinien:''' Not so long ago, I would have assumed his benevolence hid ulterior motives. But 'tis clear he cares for his people, and they in turn revere him.<br /> '''Estinien:''' To know such a nation may flourish is...comforting.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Vrtra's kin sought release from conflict. So weary were they of the suffering it wrought, they surrendered to oblivion.<br /> '''Estinien:''' But Midgardsormr didn't give up. In hope he made the journey to distant Etheirys with his clutch of eggs.<br /> '''Estinien:''' And though his progeny went on to be embroiled in conflict with men, there were times when they transcended hatred to abide in harmony.<br /> '''Estinien:''' That is their legacy and their triumph.<br /> '''Estinien:''' In my lance, I feel the weight of their struggle and the strength of their resolve. And it lends me strength.<br /> '''Estinien:''' These things, I might never have learned had I not joined you.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Should you ever have need of me, I will come. At the very least, it might be an opportunity to earn coin.<br /> <br /> ====Speak with Y'shtola.====<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Oh, are we saying our farewells, ''too''? I hadn't, at present, planned on a journey of any great length...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' ...Not that I am averse to a moment or two of quiet reminiscence.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' In fact, there was something I'd been meaning to ask you ─ something that has been in my thoughts since the last flames of the Final Days subsided.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' During our travels, we have witnessed more than a lifetime's worth of oddities and spectacles. More than can be easily recalled or remembered...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' And nestled amongst those memories are certain essential facts ─ the history of Etheirys and the ancients; glimpses of the Ea ─ of their culture and philosophy.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Rather than simply hoard such treasures in my mind, I wonder if I should not be disseminating them in formal records for wider consumption.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' When needed, I have penned reports and prepared briefings... But ever have I balked at the idea of binding the subject of my studies in a book or tablet.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Truth is given shape in interpretation. When we seek to capture it with our words, it is invariably molded to fit a narrative ─ no matter how well-intentioned the rendering.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' An event is described as “sad.” A summation which fails to express the emotional complexity. Yet the word on the page is what endures. A pale shadow of reality.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Throughout history, some have deliberately embellished the truth, but I believe many ─ if not most ─ deviations are the result of similar linguistic shortcomings, piling one upon the other, until the end result is unrecognizable from its origin.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Which is why I fear that writing an account in my own words would be akin to diluting fine wine with water.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yet even with the potential for corrupted meaning, I do of course realize the importance of keeping written records. Without them, my search for wisdom would be a painful affair indeed.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' But what say you on this matter? Should I take up the quill? Reflect upon those experiences only we have shared, and seek to preserve them for posterity?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Aye, let them be read and remembered.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Very well, then. I shall endeavor to pen what I can of the Ea, and the ancients, and of so many other wonders.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' But I am no scribe. It will be less a polished work, and more a reordering of scattered notes...<br /> &gt; Nay, it's enough to hold them in your memories.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Very well, then. I will refrain from publishing any formal work on the Ea, or the ancients, or on any of the wonders we encountered.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I will, however, need to keep a few notes for future research. The passage of time can warp the truth just as surely as a poorly chosen word...<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' In any case, I feel much better for having sought your opinion. Left to our own devices, we tend to overthink such things.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I will otherwise return to following where my curiosity leads. After all, a safe method of travel to the First yet eludes me, and our venture into the great expanse has prompted an entirely new set of questions!<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Should you stumble into the unknown, or struggle with some impenetrable mystery, know that I am at your beck and call.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It never hurts to see things from a different perspective, and mine is rather different than most!<br /> <br /> ====Speak with Thancred.====<br /> '''Thancred:''' Ah, our champion and savior. I was beginning to think my chance for an audience would never come!<br /> '''Thancred:''' ...Ahem, that sounded more amusing in my head. Speaking of heads, I was worried about yours ─ and the rest of you, for that matter. On the mend, I trust?<br /> '''Thancred:''' Glad to hear it. You were in a bad way, and healing magicks or no, I'm impressed by how swiftly you've recovered...<br /> '''Thancred:''' Then again, 'tis hardly the first time you've cheated death. Your strength of will has never failed to astonish me.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Look at what you've accomplished. Meteion defeated, her song of oblivion cut short. The Source and all her reflections delivered from the Final Days.<br /> '''Thancred:''' If you had faltered at the last, then all hope would have been lost. But you held fast.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Now Ryne has a tomorrow to look forward to, and I could ask for no greater gift than that.<br /> '''Thancred:''' As for a lesser gift, however... The next time you see her, I would appreciate you ''not'' describing my travel plans with Urianger as “aimless wandering.”<br /> '''Thancred:''' We've a purpose in our roaming, after all: keeping an eye on things in the absence of the Scions on the world stage.<br /> '''Thancred:''' There'll never be an end to the little problems that go untended by nations. We will do our best to help out where and when we can.<br /> '''Thancred:''' ...Which I suppose is an approach not far removed from “aimless wandering” when you get down to it.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Perhaps you could tell her I am faring well, and leave it at that, eh?<br /> '''Thancred:''' No need to mention this feeling of being uprooted...<br /> '''Thancred:''' I've never been one to stand still for long, but when I think of home, 'tis the Rising Stones which comes to mind. How many times have we set out from this base, thence to return when our work was done?<br /> '''Thancred:''' On the day the Scions came together, I only hoped for Minfilia to find a place where she belonged...but never did I expect to find one here for myself.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Indulge me, [Forename]. I have a question for you ─ and imagine Minfilia herself is asking.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Are you glad you joined the Scions?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Best decision I've ever made.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Aye, I can honestly say the same.<br /> '''Thancred:''' But all good things must come to an end...at least for a time.<br /> &gt; There's never been a dull moment, that's for certain. <br /> '''Thancred:''' That's one way of putting it! In many ways, the experience has left us far stronger than when we began.<br /> '''Thancred:''' But all good things must come to an end...at least for a time.<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' Should you need a helping hand for infiltration or reconnaissance, you know who to ask. I'll come running, and you'll likely get a certain “funny-talking fortune-teller” into the bargain.<br /> <br /> ====Speak with Krile.====<br /> '''Krile:''' Oh, [Forename]. How are you feeling? Any lingering aches or pains?<br /> '''Krile:''' I can't apologize enough for sending Zenos to find you in Ultima Thule...<br /> '''Krile:''' When he came to me in Sharlayan, I was truly torn. As ever, there was only one thing on his mind.<br /> '''Krile:''' Forced to make a decision, I reasoned that, if he would not be deterred from seeking you out, he might at least aid us in our cause. And so I struck a bargain...<br /> '''Krile:''' In the end, he was true to his word, and you defeated him despite your earlier exertions. But knowing the state you were found in, it could have ended very differently.<br /> '''Krile:''' My decision almost cost you your life, and no words could express the remorse I feel...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; It worked out. You did the right thing.<br /> '''Krile:''' It is a relief to hear you say that. Thank you.<br /> &gt; I won't lie - I thought that was it for me. <br /> '''Krile:''' So did everyone... I'm so sorry, [Forename]...<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Time and time again, I've been made to feel woefully inadequate.<br /> '''Krile:''' I wasn't much use in battle, nor could I face the Forum without my nerves getting the better of me. It always fell to you and the others.<br /> '''Krile:''' I must─ and will ─ do better.<br /> '''Krile:''' And I shall begin with the restoration of the Students of Baldesion. Through our work, Sharlayan will strengthen its ties with other nations, that we may be better prepared to face whatever threats arise in future.<br /> '''Krile:''' Of course, this isn't something I can accomplish alone. But thankfully, I have the staunchest of help in Raha and Ojika and our other remaining members. Together, we'll continue Grandfather's work.<br /> '''Krile:''' As before, certain commissions will take us to dangerous locales, and we may need to call upon seasoned adventurers.<br /> '''Krile:''' In such times, might you be willing to assist us? Not because you feel obliged, mind you, but because you feel allure for the task itself.<br /> '''Krile:''' Marvelous. Should something of interest arise, I shan't hesitate to reach out to you.<br /> '''Krile:''' Until that day, I shall endeavor to become a more dependable comrade.<br /> <br /> ====Speak with G'raha Tia.====<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Oh, [Forename]. Might you have a moment to talk?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' With the Scions stepping away from the public eye, I've been left to consider what new endeavors I might pursue.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' And after speaking with Krile, I've decided. I will be assisting her in rebuilding the Students of Baldesion.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Not only am I indebted to Master Galuf for giving me a new home, but had our order never existed, I would have never set foot within the Crystal Tower.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' How different my life might have been...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I would have never met you. Never become caretaker of the tower. Never become a Scion.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' You gave me the chance to do so much good, and I hope to continue to do so with the Students.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' For an added benefit, new mysteries often find their way to our doorsteps ─ mysteries that could prove ideal for fulfilling our promise: to embark on a new adventure together, unlike any we've experienced before!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Whenever you have the time and inclination, my friend, I stand ready to accompany you unto the unknown!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...Do you recall in the realm of the Omicrons, when I asked if you thought I may someday be mentioned in your epic?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' While 'tis true that to earn a place at your side would be the stuff of dreams...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' In the end, nothing would give me greater joy than to stand with you in the here and now!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' It needn't be some grand endeavor. There needn't be a promise. Whenever adventure calls, I won't hesitate to invite you...and I hope that you will do the same for me.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Without a second thought.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Hah, I'll hold you to that!<br /> &gt; As long as you don't overexert yourself. <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I know, I know. I can all but hear Lyna and Beq Lugg's voices each time you remind me.<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...As much as we have already seen, there's still so much we haven't. Who knows ─ perhaps we will even encounter survivors of the Omicrons somewhere out there.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' After all, given how they took to the stars, it isn't implausible that some found themselves far from home.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' And should we encounter a wayward traveler awaiting commands that will never come...<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I would bid them seek adventure with someone, and with that partner find new purpose. A new dream.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' For if crystals can hold fast to dreams, why not Omicrons?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Wherever your plans may lead, do not hesitate to send word. And should a commission of interest come my way, you will be the first to know!<br /> <br /> ====Speak with Alisaie.====<br /> '''Alisaie:''' [Forename]! Seen to your preparations, have you?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm just making another sweep of my belongings. Wouldn't do to find I've forgotten something halfway to my destination...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Oh, in case you hadn't heard, we've received new reports detailing the devastation caused by the Final Days.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It appears the situation is gravest in the lands surrounding the Bounty, where the sky first began to burn.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' After that, the calamity was observed in the far north ─ in Garlemald and the frozen lands beyond.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We also had reports of the heavens catching fire in isolated locations, one of which was an area in the Northern Empty. Had our quest taken any longer, Sharlayan too may have come under threat.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Thank goodness it's over now.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' To be sure, blasphemies and lesser beasts may still be roaming about, but these localized crises should be well within the capacities of each nation to handle on their own. The Scions are no longer needed.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Which isn't to say that we won't help out where we can, of course. As individuals ─ no more of this order business.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' For my part, I'll be heading to Garlemald with Alphinaud. They were among the worst affected, and still need all the help they can get.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It won't be easy...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' An inevitable part of aiding those in need is coming face-to-face with tragedy.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Knowing it doesn't make it any easier, though. That I'll curse my weakness. My inability to fix every problem and save every lost soul.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But no matter how much it hurts, I won't give up.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'll do what I can for as many people as I can, begrudging no effort.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' And should I find myself discouraged, I'll remember you. Think back fondly to one of your many moments of triumph and the accompanying determined expression.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Even those that still annoy me in retrospect, like when you activated the teleporter without warning!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' And should you hear about me, I want you to remember too.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Remember that I'm out there somewhere, trying my very best.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; I look forward to hearing all about the legendary Alisaie Leveilleur. <br /> '''Alisaie:''' N-Not that I'm trying to become famous or anything...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' That being said...<br /> &gt; Think you can keep up with me?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Heh, you asked for it, so you had better watch out!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Oh, yes!<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' The next time we meet, I'll be vastly improved. So don't be surprised when you find yourself marveling at me!<br /> <br /> ====Speak with Alphinaud.====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Oh, [Forename]. Pray forgive me for delaying the gathering.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I was writing a letter, you see. To my parents.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' As busy as Father has been, tending the aftermath of the exodus, he has been good enough to show concern for the Scions.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And besides...I've made them worry enough for a lifetime. Henceforth, I will endeavor to write as often as I am able.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' A little effort to set their minds at ease while we continue to be away from Sharlayan.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Both Alisaie and I are off to assist with Garlemald's recovery, you see. Though uncertainty remains over what will become of the nation, we cannot well leave the capital in its present state.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We will rejoin those members of the Ilsabard contingent still stationed there. Lucia and Maxima helm the relief effort, with support from our allies ─ the people of Garlemald among them.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' They will gradually be joined by those who have finished treating the tempered across the lands.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Lest you misunderstand, we do not seek redemption for failing Licinia and her sister. That is a burden we must always bear.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Nay, we go because of the truth in Lord Quintus's words.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The truth that, whatever ideals individuals may espouse, nations are not moved to action unless they stand to benefit...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' For the foreseeable future, the fallen Empire will be at the mercy of both internal and external forces.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And though I do not doubt the intentions of the contingent, with greater powers involved in the relief effort, our allies may well find themselves drawn into a political agenda.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' In going, we seek to ensure that the needs of the people come first. To understand their hearts, that we might better help them to begin anew.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; You'd best write me too.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Write you letters? Of course I would be glad to do so...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But I would be gladder still were you to come and visit, and I believe I speak for Alisaie as well.<br /> &gt; I'll visit when I can. <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' By all means! Full glad would I be for your visit, and I believe I speak for Alisaie as well!<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' For fairly as long as I've been in Eorzea, you've been at my side. Watching over me, in good times and in bad.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' How many times have we gathered to share tidings... None could possibly keep count.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The world is changing and will continue to do so. Yet no matter what the future brings, I hope that I can ever look to you...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' In good times and in bad. As a dependable comrade and dear friend both.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thank you, [Forename]. From the bottom of my heart.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' By the way, have you spoken with Feo Ul of late? Some days ago, they appeared to me in a dream ─ of the sleeping persuasion, that is.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' All is well in the First, they bade me tell you.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' When I asked why not tell you themself, they unleashed giant, ravenous beavers upon me... Have you perchance done something to incur their ire?<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Lyse came to visit the other day. She peppered me with questions about the lasting repercussions of the Final Days.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I took the opportunity to explain our plans to “disband,” and she understood our reasoning immediately. Once a Scion, always a Scion, it would seem.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' She was eager to relive old times, and remember old friends... Bittersweet memories, mayhap, but from the look on her face, the joys outweighed the sorrows.<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' In case you've not heard, the Waking Sands will be converted into a warehouse. We'll be keeping the place free of rats and cobwebs, so it can still serve as an outpost should the need arise.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Considering Tataru's ambitions, however, I'd not be surprised if she claimed the lot for her budding empire...<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' I understand that, following thy clash with Zenos, the teleportation device thou had discarded fell to thee from on high.<br /> '''Urianger:''' To return to thee in such a manner... I did confer with Wilfsunn and Bloewyda, yet they insist the device was possessed of no such capability.<br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Twas a miracle befitting the nature of that place, where emotion becometh tangible reality. Whence, then, arose this timely wonder? Thine ardent wish...or another's fervent prayer?<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Oh, I should mention that Erenville has kindly agreed to share aught of potential interest he hears from his fellow gleaners.<br /> '''Krile:''' In exchange, we will help them to restore the archives to their proper order. With the exodus abandoned, all items must be returned whence they came ─ a task no less grueling than their removal.<br /> '''Krile:''' Even now, Ojika assists in the sorting of arcane artifacts. Oh yes, not only is he a skilled administrator ─ he's also a certified appraiser specializing in relics from the Fifth Astral Era!<br /> '''Krile:''' Despite his qualifications, though, he seems none too keen on the work. I shall have to go and relieve him as soon as I can...<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Word has it a false deity born in the Tower of Zot has survived, and occasionally appears to terrorize the locals.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Those who vanquish the being and present proof in Radz-at-Han will receive a handsome reward. Though “handsome” isn't the word I would use to describe such outlandish garb...<br /> '''Estinien:''' But while I'm in Thavnair, perhaps I will acquire a set to send to Aymeric in lieu of an answer to his job offer. Let him stand guard thus attired and be the talk of Empyreum, if not all Coerthas.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Hm, did I forget to mention anything? ...Ah, yes! The Hannish envoy who came to see Estinien also bore a letter from Matsya.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' He writes that Mehvan and Qerasaf's little girl is doing well, and he often goes to visit her.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It won't be easy growing up without her parents, but with her fellow villagers watching over her, I dare to hope that she won't want for warmth as she grows up.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I've been keeping Arenvald abreast of the situation in letters, but unfortunately he could not be here today.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' When it is convenient for both of us, we should pay him a visit.<br /> <br /> '''Ocher Boulder:''' I am so glad I was able to be here this moment! <br /> '''Ocher Boulder:''' You know, I considered continuing to follow in Hoary's footsteps, but I've realized it's time I found my own way in life. Otherwise, I'll never be half the man my brother is.<br /> '''Ocher Boulder:''' First things first, I'm going to head to Gridania to visit the Conjurers' Guild and the Archers' Guild. I will do my very best to brush up on my skills before I see you again!<br /> <br /> '''Aenor:''' We may have accomplished our goal and put it behind us, but my time with the Scions provided memories that will last me a lifetime. <br /> '''Aenor:''' What bliss... To think I was blessed with the chance to experience such unbridled brotherly love!<br /> '''Aenor:''' Ah, but now that Ocher has decided to set off without his dear brother... Without the two of them together, I fear I might suffer withdrawal!<br /> <br /> '''Clemence:''' I'm so glad the danger is past! There was nothing I could do but pray from here, so I was relieved to the point of tears when everyone made it back safely.<br /> '''Clemence:''' I imagine we'll have more free time now, so I was thinking I'd study up on healing magic, that I could make myself more useful in the future.<br /> '''Clemence:''' My first stop will be the Astrologicum in Ishgard to learn about Sharlayan astrology. I must follow Ocher's lead and continue to hone my skills!<br /> <br /> '''Coultenet:''' Far too much blood has been spilt, and far too many lives lost. Still, I am glad I was able to do something to repay those who showed me a path to the future.<br /> '''Coultenet:''' Not that our job is over, of course ─ far from it. There is much that remains to be done before true and lasting peace can be achieved.<br /> '''Coultenet:''' To that end, Hoary and I mean to set off for Corvos. We expect that the tensions between the Garleans and Corvosi will only flare more with the Empire's fall.<br /> <br /> '''Hoary Boulder:''' I still remember the day we sparred together as though it were yesterday... To think how far we have all come since then!<br /> '''Hoary Boulder:''' Even now, I have not abandoned my dream of besting you in single combat ─ of a friendly nature, of course. Though I clearly do not hold a candle to the Warrior of Light at present, I shall continue to train diligently that one day you might consider me an equal!<br /> <br /> '''Aergmhus:''' I can still scarce believe our battle extended to the ends of creation, but seeing the Scions' mission to completion was both an honor and a privilege!<br /> '''Aergmhus:''' As for myself, I've spent quite a while away from home, so I think I'll return to Limsa Lominsa for now.<br /> '''Aergmhus:''' And once I get there, my first order of business will be downing a pint or three at the Drowning Wench!<br /> <br /> '''Ephemie:''' 'Tis a shame the Scions are disbanding ─ even if only in name. I still fondly recall the day you granted me my uniform... The memory remains vivid, yet it feels like a lifetime ago.<br /> '''Ephemie:''' I considered returning to the Adders' Nest, but since I've come this far, I've decided I ought to continue my journey and venture to Garlemald instead.<br /> '''Ephemie:''' I can't hold a candle to the infamous wandering minstrel, but I thought I might share with the Garleans the tale of your epic deeds ─ extend to them an olive branch of song, if you will.<br /> <br /> '''Bluomwyda:''' The exploits of you and your companions are truly an inspiration to us all. I have never felt more compelled to hone my own skills, that I one day might be able to accomplish such heroic deeds.<br /> '''Bluomwyda:''' Aergmhus means to visit Limsa Lominsa, and I will join him and continue my search. I know not when we will meet again but...please take care of yourself.<br /> <br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' The salvation Minfilia dreamed for Eorzea comes closer to reality with every step the Scions take. Yes, the world may still be in the throes of change, but it is improving.<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' I see it happening day by day. And I sit here, praying that whatever new road you walk will bring you the wonder and joy you deserve.<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' Should you need a rest in between your journeys, do come and join me on the terrace for old times' sake.<br /> <br /> '''Isildaure:''' You were but an amateur adventurer when we first met, but look at you now! You've grown into quite the fine young lad ─ just as I always knew you would.<br /> '''Isildaure:'''One might say I ought to settle down in my old age, but seeing you now has set my adventurous spirit ablaze once more. But the first journey I set out upon will be a long-awaited hot springs tour with my dear friend Homei!<br /> <br /> '''Alianne:''' There has been naught but chaos since the Telophoroi first appeared. Towers, lunar primals, the Empire, the Final Days... Yet we have weathered it all, and live to see the sun rise on a new day.<br /> '''Alianne:''' And now that peace has returned, I can finally resume my travels with my grandfather. Perhaps we will go first to Kugane, to relax in the Bokaisen Hot Springs. That might be nice.<br /> '''Alianne:''' Of course, my journey will not simply be for pleasure ─ I will collect information on the territories I travel. Hmm, perhaps I shall visit Nagxia via Doma...<br /> <br /> '''V'mah Tia:''' Arenvald has pressing matters, according to him anyway. A pity he couldn't be here to witness this momentous occasion, though he bids me tell you congratulations.<br /> '''V'mah Tia:''' As for me, well, once the Scions disband, I intend to resume my work in Rhalgr's Reach.<br /> '''V'mah Tia:''' I suppose Arenvald will need support in Gyr Abania too, though he would not admit as much. Well, he will have my help, whether he wants it or not.<br /> <br /> '''Riol:''' Feels a little strange now me linkpearl's gone quiet.<br /> '''Riol:''' Since my unique skills're no longer needed for the safety o' the star an' all that, I'm goin' to become an adventurer like you ─ travelin' far and wide!<br /> '''Riol:''' I Imagine I'll start by headin' to Meracydia or the New World. Just need to find meself a ship first...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tataru. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Tataru:''' Spoken your fill, have you? If so, I'm thinking to send everyone off.<br /> '''Tataru:''' With your permission, then!<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' Your attention please! At risk of spoiling the mood, the time of departure is upon us.<br /> '''Tataru:''' In my capacity as your receptionist, I bid you all safe journeys. Till next we meet...be well!<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I suppose we're off to Garlemald, then.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Though we ought to speak with Lord Aymeric first. If he's received word of any recent developments, we need to know.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' 'Twould be prudent to purchase some warmer clothes at least. Mayhap we can pick up a few souvenirs for Jullus and the others while we're at it.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Where will you all be heading next?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Dravania. There is a book I have been meaning to borrow from the Great Gubal Library.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' And I can think of at least one person who will be most displeased should I fail to visit before leaving.<br /> '''Thancred:''' We've no particular destination in mind, but we do intend to stop in Sharlayan before we set off.<br /> '''Urianger:''' We had thought to ask after the Loporrits. I am curious as to how well those who chose to remain are adapting to their changed circumstances.<br /> '''Krile:''' Might we accompany you, then? Raha and I were planning to return to the Baldesion Annex.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Commissions have been piling up in our absence, and they must be dealt with ere we begin our work in earnest.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Estinien. You will return to Radz-at-Han, will you not?<br /> '''Estinien:''' Aye. For Vrtra's benefit, though I've yet to hear the details. I may not stay long.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I see. Then it is here the Scions at last part ways, each to some far-flung corner of the realm.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Perhaps. But I believe one of our number ─ a rather important one, at that ─ has yet to divulge his/her plans.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Quite right.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Indeed.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Fair point.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' What's next for our humble adventurer?<br /> ''You apprise them of your plans. Meteion, as a blue bird, flies away into the sunset.''<br /> <br /> [[File:EW-Endwalker-FIN.jpg|450px]]<br /> <br /> [[File:EW-Endwalker-???.jpg|450px|right]]<br /> '''???: ''' The constancy of this place never ceases to amaze me.

You will be tasked with walking to the final confrontation at Absolute Horizon.<br /> * Along the way you will meet unnamed shades offering encouraging advice. Approach a shade to hear its quote. All statements are direct quotations from various Main Scenario Quests in the previous expansions (see below). You can walk right past these shades if you like directly to the stairs, the ones on the stairs and past will speak regardless. <br /> * The next cutscene will begin automatically upon reaching Absolute Horizon.<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> * Explore [[The Nekropolis|the nekropolis]]. 0/6<br /> * Speak with [[Alisaie]].<br /> * Speak with [[Alphinaud]].<br /> * Make your way to [[Absolute Horizon]].<br /> * Speak with [[Alisaie]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> *If Alisaie is discouraged, she betrays no hint of it.<br /> <br /> *At the end of the crystalline path, you and the twins arrive at a recreation of a ruined city. Meteion reveals that this world was already devoid of life when she found it, but despite the seeming absence of emotion to bar your way, she claims you will find no path forward. Not to be discouraged, you resolve to ascertain the truth with your own eyes, and split up to explore.<br /> <br /> *You search high and low, but fail to find any forms of life. Given the state in which the city has been left, however, one would think the denizens simply up and vanished. Having seen what there is to be seen, you decide to rejoin Alisaie.<br /> <br /> *Alisaie points out a terminating road; if only it continued, the dead sun would seem to be within reach. With your combined findings, you go to seek out Alphinaud to see if he has made any discoveries of his own.<br /> <br /> *As your party gathers to ponder your quandary, Alisaie's musings spark an epiphany within Alphinaud. Convinced that there is indeed someone present who has wished for the ruin amidst which you stand, he leads the way to that very individual─Meteion herself. The familiar, he explains, was horrified by the devastation she found wheresoever she went in the universe, and succumbed to the fear of moving forward. Drawing upon their conviction that hardships are a part of life to be embraced, Alphinaud and Alisaie succeed in breaking down the wall of Meteion's fear, sacrificing themselves to open the way for you. As the last to remain, your steps weigh heavy, but you remind yourself that you are not alone as you set forth for the oppressive darkness of Absolute Horizon. Should you stray from the path, you may begin walking it again from the entrance to the Nekropolis.<br /> <br /> *You arrive at Absolute Horizon only to have Meteion reveal that there is no way to reach her nest─for hope cannot deliver you unto hopelessness. To come so near yet be so far, you feel the tendrils of despair begin to grip your heart, but the voices within grant you the strength to carry on. As if resonating with your resolve, the crystal of Azem begins to shine before two familiar forms appear─Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus, plucked from the Lifestream. Declaring their defiance against the doom Meteion would bring, they draw upon the hopes of your comrades to make for you a new path, one in a form of your choosing. You scarcely have a moment to blink as the barren ground around you transforms into a field of Elpis flowers, white and radiant in hope enduring. Their presence serves to prove that despair no longer holds complete sway in this realm, and thus you are free to summon your comrades back to your side. The blossoms also awaken the memories of Hermes within Meteion, who beseeches you to silence the song of oblivion her sisters sing before fleeing to the dead sun. Their impromptu parts played to perfection, your ancient allies take their leave, bowing out to resume their slumber and entrusting you with the fate of the star─yours and theirs.<br /> <br /> *With the way to Meteion's nest open and your comrades beside you once more, you stand ready to finish your task. To the Endsinger, you must deliver the answer of all lives of Etheirys, and see this tale to a triumphant conclusion.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' One way or another, we must find the way forward. Let us make a thorough search of the city.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Whatever Meteion may have said, we should confirm it with our own eyes. We need to have a look around.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed. At the very least, it doesn't appear to be a sprawling place like those before. If we split up, it shouldn't take too long to cover the area.<br /> <br /> ===Explore the nekropolis.===<br /> &gt; Vantage point<br /> There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Perhaps you could try calling out...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Hello!<br /> &gt; Is anyone there? <br /> <br /> If anyone has heard you, they do not respond.<br /> <br /> &gt; Dusty table<br /> Were it not for the thick layer of dust, one could imagine someone drinking from these cups but moments ago...<br /> <br /> &gt; Tree-like object<br /> The object resembles a tree, and appears to have been fashioned from a stone-like material.<br /> Erected in place of an actual tree...or to serve some other purpose, perhaps. Regardless, there is no one left to explain. To tell the story...<br /> <br /> &gt; Bar counter<br /> This place is reminiscent of a bar, but neither patrons nor staff are anywhere to be seen.<br /> Egg-shaped containers line the shelves, with a loose few sitting on the counter. Vessels for the beverages, in all likelihood.<br /> A venue bustling with activity until it was not...<br /> <br /> &gt; Vantage point<br /> In the distance, you glimpse Alisaie picking her way through the ruins, but otherwise spy no signs of life.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; If anyone can hear me, say something!<br /> &gt; ...<br /> You strain your ears to catch something ─ anything ─ but hear not so much as the chirping of an insect...<br /> <br /> &gt; Rusty door<br /> Though set slightly off the ground, this appears to be a door, while the objects to the left could be letter boxes.<br /> The door is rusted shut, and the film of dust all over suggests no one has come through in a long, long time...<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm trying to see if there are ways to reach the nearby isles. Just in case Meteion was bluffing...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The isle's edge already, and there only appears to be this park here. How it must have bustled with life once upon a time...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie.===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' [Forename], take a look at this. If the road was a little longer, we could take it to just beneath the dead sun.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But I suppose this is where the reconstruction ends...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How about you? Did you find anything of interest?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I see. I noticed the same things ─ cups left upon tables, chairs out of place... I don't know what happened here, but I do know I don't want to be alone anymore...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We've searched enough for now. Let's find Alphinaud and compare what we've learned.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud. (Cutscene)===<br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Did you find anything?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' No. This place is completely deserted, and I can't see how we're supposed to move on from here.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Neither can I. It's quite the quandary...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There are no denizens to bar our path, yet there is no way forward.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' For another mystery, we did find signs of very recent life. You'd swear everyone just vanished into thin air.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I wonder, how many ruined worlds like this has Meteion seen?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Could it be...? Yes... Yes, I believe I may have puzzled this out.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Despite how it appears, it's no different this time. There is someone here who has wished for this ruin.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And I believe that, together, Alisaie and I can overcome their will.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; No! I won't allow it!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I'm afraid it has to be done. For our comrades, for everyone on Etheirys...and for myself.<br /> &gt; I promised your parents I'd keep you safe!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I know. I know...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But if there is a chance this will work, then I would take it. For everyone...and for myself.<br /> &gt; Stop - not another word. <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I'm sorry, but there is a chance, and I must seize it. For everyone... and for myself.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I will not pretend otherwise. I have my fears.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Not for myself, but for you. The last to remain.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You are no stranger to carrying the burden of others.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But I can only imagine how heavy the weight would be this time.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' As your friend, I cannot bear the thought of making you suffer so.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Then why suggest such a thing!?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' It's too much to ask of anyone ─ even him/her!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Why must he/she be the one? Why must he/she fight alone?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' More than a hero, he/she's a dear friend.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Not only to us, but to so many others. There are so many people in the world who care for you, and yet...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' And yet...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie. I have an idea.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Given the nature of this realm, it may be possible to do more than unbar our friend's path. We might also pave him/her a new one.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' For instance...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' A path where he/she finds happiness at journey's end.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' This much, I think we can believe with the utmost conviction. No matter how deep our despair.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' So please, believe in us too. And press on.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thank you...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If the plan's decided, then let's not dally.<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Ah, there you are. It was as I said, was it not?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It was. We couldn't find anyone.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But this place isn't entirely deserted, is it? You are here.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You sought out a star of promise and found a ruined husk.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Like us, you explored the devastation. Like us, you were stricken.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Horrified by the thought that so many lives could be snuffed out as if they were worth nothing.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And the thought that you would have to bear the terrible tidings to Hermes.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' That which you saw and felt, you shared with your sisters. As did they share their own grim findings with you.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Overcome by the pervasive despair of these stars, some of you inadvertently ushered their peoples to their ends.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Knowing the horrors you know, anyone would feel the same. They would fear what lies ahead, and struggle to move forward.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Fear... I had forgotten that such a thing existed, so focused have I been on shepherding despair.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' If you can remember, then you can still face and overcome your own fear.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Why would I bother with such an insignificant emotion? If the despair I command is as a raging river, then fear is but a trickling stream.<br /> '''Meteion:''' It can do nothing to alter my flow.<br /> '''Meteion:''' You spoke with the Ea, yes? Heard their tale of what awaits the universe?<br /> '''Meteion:''' It's true. The stars grow colder and more distant. Eventually all will enjoy frozen solitude.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Using the power of dynamis, I am hastening that process.<br /> '''Meteion:''' In so doing, nothing will be born ever again. Everyone will remain dead.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Alas, it will take time for that to happen. So in mercy I sent you my gift, to spare you needless suffering.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Don't worry. Even if no living witnesses remain to mark the event, I'll make certain that Etheirys has a proper end.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' For all the power you wield, you're more fearful than the familiar you used to be.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' That Meteion feared simply to move forward, but your fear is such that you've given up on everything.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I know it well. That sense of defeat. I've tasted my fair share of it.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But as many times as we've fallen down, we've learned how to pick ourselves up and carry on.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We take each other's hand. Share in each other's courage. Follow in each other's footsteps. And turn sorrow into strength!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There are times when we fail. We bear wounds that do not heal.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But these experiences are part of life, and they make us stronger!<br /> '''Alphinaud and Alisaie:''' We rise, fall, and rise again!<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Don't worry about us. You must take the next step, and all the rest after that.<br /> <br /> '''Earlier, in Old Sharlayan...'''<br /> '''Tataru:''' Please... Please... Oh, please let them all be safe...<br /> '''Tataru:''' Krile? Are you all right?<br /> '''Krile:''' It's nothing... Just a headache.<br /> '''Krile:''' They'll be fine... I know they will...<br /> '''Worldly Affairs Official:''' Apologies for the interruption! A man arrived on the last ferry. An associate of the Scions!<br /> '''Worldly Affairs Official:''' He wishes to speak with you at once!<br /> <br /> In this city devoid of life, you sense the presence of another...<br /> The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on.<br /> <br /> ===Make your way to Absolute Horizon.===<br /> ''See the below section for references to the quotations spoken from the Voices from the Past.''<br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you.<br /> <br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' Do not despair!

But the prize is worth the price.<br /> <br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' And we for our part are glad indeed to be able to welcome friends both old and new...<br /> <br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair.<br /> <br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' From tragedy and sacrifice we rise to greet a new dawn.<br /> <br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' A future shaped by the choices we made, in ways we could never have foreseen.<br /> <br /> '''Voice from the Past:''' Yet miracles do happen.

There is no way to reach our nest.<br /> '''Meteion:''' I told you. Resignation and acceptance reign in this place.<br /> '''Meteion:''' The rejection of life by those who came to curse it.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Those whose dreams were unfulfilled. Whose prayers were unheard. Whose labors were unrewarded.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hope cannot deliver you unto hopelessness. Our refuge is beyond you.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Always has it been. Such is the nature of this place.<br /> '''Meteion:''' You should have remained on Etheirys.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Struggle will avail you naught, nor will it grant your comrades peace.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Come, let me relieve you of your burden. You have suffered enough.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola's voice'''<br /> ''Azem's magick. So long as our souls remain, you can use it to summon us back.

I'll find a way!<br /> <br /> '''???:''' I bid them remember, but all this time, ''I'm'' the one who had forgotten... A right fool you've made of me, Hermes.<br /> '''???:''' And to add insult to injury, I've been denied a sound rest, forced to watch this clamorous show.<br /> '''???:''' Oh come now, it's been a gripping tale. Unbreakable bonds and noble sacrifice, sprinkled with moments of levity to counterbalance the pathos. It's got it all.<br /> '''???:''' I for one would have been perfectly content to watch enraptured from the stalls...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' But I won't say no to a bit part!<br /> '''Meteion:''' What are you?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Half-faded souls of the dead. Isn't it painfully obvious?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Worry not ─ we haven't the power to defeat you. Nor is it our duty to do so. Not anymore.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' That being said, we do have a score to settle.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' So, here I am, Venat. I suppose you needed me to tie it all together, these frayed threads of our history ─ but knowing you, I suspect there's a joke in it too. Oh yes, I can imagine you gloating over my forgetfulness.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Were I feeling charitable, I might assume you had left room for the possibility of this outcome.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Even so, you'll get no applause from me. A single gesture will not lighten the burden I've had to bear.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Still, you must be commended. Our methods would not have brought mankind this far.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And so, as a show of respect to the last of us, I make this declaration.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You will not end our journey!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' That is our answer! The answer of all lives of Etheirys, past and present!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' As you've called us to the stage, so shall we perform. And creation magicks never fail to please.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Drawing upon the hopes of your comrades, we will make for you a new path.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What form said path takes depends on you. So focus ─ focus and envision that which rejects the claim that you cannot attain your goal!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ours is the wisdom to weave the fabric of reality...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ours is the power to create!<br /> <br /> [[File:EW-You'reNotAlone-ElpisFlowers.jpg|450px|right]]<br /> '''Hermes's voice'''<br /> Meteion.<br /> Though I gave you these wings to soar the heavens, I did not teach you how to walk the earth. So loath was I to bind another living being.<br /> In the course of your long journey, you will learn from those you meet. Learn to walk and run and so much more.<br /> A flower.<br /> Yes. Upon your return, I will gift you a beautiful flower.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' These Elpis blooms serve as proof that this realm is not utterly devoid of hope. No more can you deny its power. No more is yours the dominion of despair.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' In case the practical implications were lost on you, your comrades no longer need fight their fight.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' So, go on. Call them back to your side.<br /> <br /> '''Hydaelyn's voice'''<br /> ''May you ever walk in the light...'' <br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' How disappointing. Not even a single scar in the making to brag about.<br /> '''Estinien:''' You'll find a way regardless.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Honestly... This is far more than any of us could have hoped for. Let us be thankful.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Indeed. That we thus stand reunited is a gift. Let us not squander it, and see that we all return to Etheirys.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Aye, as soon as we've averted the Final Days!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Good to see you again. Our heroic sacrifice paid off, I take it?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Come, my friends. Let us carry on and finish it ─ together.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; It's over, Meteion.<br /> &gt; Come with us, Meteion.<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Can you...hear me...?<br /> '''Meteion:''' The voices within... Crying in pain, wailing in sorrow... Hurting... Hurting...<br /> '''Meteion:''' End it...silence it... Silence our song of oblivion!<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The way is open. They can proceed.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' So it seems.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' You're leaving!?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Of course. The encore is finished, and I will not suffer myself to live again by Hydaelyn's magick.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But more than that, the future you seek is not the past we loved. That is why we fought. And why I lost.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But though you defeated me, my ideals are inviolate. Invincible.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Spare me your pity. I have no use for it. If you would do something for me ─ save our star.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' See this tale to a triumphant conclusion, and with elation in your hearts, bid the final curtain fall.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Only then may it rise again and a new tale begin ─ with new parts for all to play.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Tell me, have you been to the ruins beneath the waters of the Bounty?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Or the treasure islands beyond the frozen waters of Blindfrost, in Othard's north?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The fabled golden cities of the New World? The sacred sites of the forgotten people of the south sea isles?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What about Meracydia, the southern continent? Do you know aught of its present state of affairs? <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...I thought not. Even of your little Eorzea, you know precious little. The true identities of the Twelve, for instance.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' All of which is to say: expand your horizons. Go forth and seek discovery. Some of the civilizations in the reflections will surprise you.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As the bearer of Azem's crystal, you may consider your duty to see at least that much.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I certainly did.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I pray we meet again. If not in this life, then perhaps another.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Whensoever it should be, I trust it will be a most joyous reunion.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' For you, maybe. I want nothing to do with it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Oh, don't be that way.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' To go and see all those places and more... Emet-Selch has given you quite a task.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Suffice it to say, I should be glad to assist you. Once we've returned together triumphant, of course.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' For all the lives on those stars whose light hath been extinguished ─ for the ancients who went before us ─ I offer a solemn prayer...<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' No need to explain ─ I have a rough idea what happened while I was...gone.<br /> '''Thancred:''' It was a strange feeling. As though I was struggling in a pitch-black sea. A powerful tide was trying to wash me away ─ one that churned with hatred and envy for life ─ and it was all I could do to swim against it. Then suddenly I was here.<br /> '''Thancred:''' It felt long and short at the same time. Hazy as in a dream. But through it all, one thing was crystal clear: you fought with all your being to keep our hopes alive.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' I can't claim I fully understood the workings of this place. But in that moment, I felt I knew what I needed to do.<br /> '''Estinien:''' I felt that it was the right time to offer up this life I owe. That I could risk it all on the wager that the rest of you would manage without me.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Full glad am I to see that I was right.<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' As different and mysterious as the ancients may be, they were people not unlike us.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' The first people to fall and feel pain. And the first forced to find a way to rise again.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' From them we have come, and in our pain and suffering, we are connected.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' 'Tis my fervent hope that our ancient friends will find a new beginning ─ they and all of their brethren who have returned to the aetherial sea.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' For that to come to pass, we must succeed. We must avert the Final Days and save Etheirys.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie.===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I don't think I ever knew what to say to the man. In retrospect, it always felt like the wrong thing...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But the past notwithstanding, he came to your aid in your moment of need.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We are here, and we will not squander this chance he has given us!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We will see this tale to a triumphant conclusion, and bid the final curtain fall!<br /> <br /> == Voice from the Past quotations ==<br /> <br /> Shades are ordered in the number of their placement on the path to Absolute Horizon.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> ! Shade Number !! Quote !! Speaker !! Quest/[[The Unending Journey]] Cutscene Number !! Context<br /> |-<br /> | 1 || &quot;If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you.&quot; || [[Ardbert]] || {{questlink|main|In His Garden}}, Cutscene 1 || In this scene, Ardbert is offering his solidarity to the Warrior of Darkness, whose soul is fractured and struggling to contain the absorbed Light from the [[Lightwarden|Lightwardens]] as Everlasting Light returns to the skies of [[Norvrandt]].<br /> Ardbert, who himself faced a similar burden after inadvertently initiating the [[Flood of Light]], acknowledges the challenges the Warrior of Darkness is experiencing. Despite his own past failures and regrets, Ardbert reassures the Warrior of Darkness that they are not alone and that he will be there to support them if they falter.<br /> |-<br /> | 2 || &quot;Do not despair! You are not without allies.&quot; || [[Haurchefant]] || {{questlink|main|Before the Dawn}}, Cutscene 1 || After the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are betrayed and scattered following the events at the banquet in [[Ul'dah]], the Warrior of Light and [[Alphinaud]] find themselves seeking asylum in [[Ishgard]]. At this moment, Haurchefant informs them that the city of Ishgard has recently endured another assault by the [[Dravanians]], with several wyverns breaching the city walls and causing considerable damage. Despite the success in repelling the attack, the city remains on high alert, and the threat from the Dravanians takes priority over any other matters, including their petition for asylum. <br /> <br /> Understanding the gravity of the situation and the emotional toll it has taken on the Warrior of Light and Alphinaud, Haurchefant offers words of encouragement. He reassures them that, while their immediate situation might seem bleak, they still have allies who will support them. He extends the hospitality of [[House Fortemps]], offering them shelter and protection, and emphasizes that they should not lose hope despite the adversity they face.<br /> |-<br /> | 3 || &quot;What we have sown in blood, we have reaped in suffering, and it cannot go on.&quot; || [[Merlwyb]] || {{questlink|main|The Great Ship Vylbrand}}, Cutscene 2 || The context of the quote reflects Merlwyb's acknowledgment of the long history of violence and bloodshed between the people of [[Limsa Lominsa]] and the [[kobolds]]. She admits that the exploitation and aggression on the part of her people, driven by greed and a desire for land, have led to a cycle of suffering for both sides. &quot;What we have sown in blood&quot; refers to the actions of the Lominsans, who have caused immense pain through their invasions and betrayals. &quot;We have reaped in suffering&quot; points to the inevitable consequences of those actions - endless conflict, distrust, and loss. Merlwyb's declaration &quot;and it cannot go on&quot; marks a turning point to break the cycle of violence by seeking a lasting peace with the kobolds.<br /> |-<br /> | 4 || &quot;Upon the souls of they who have sacrificed themselves to pave the way for peace, we will never abandon our cause.&quot; || [[Aymeric]] || {{questlink|main|Heavensward}}, Cutscene 9 || The quote takes place after the final battle with [[King Thordan]] when Aymeric speaks with [[Midgardsormr]] who has been observing the Warrior of Light and the events unfolding in the conflict between man and dragon. Midgardsormr warns Aymeric that although Thordan has been defeated and Ishgard has begun to break free from its false faith, the struggle is far from over. [[Nidhogg]] has taken control of [[Estinien]] and will likely rally his kin to continue the fight against Ishgard. <br /> <br /> In this context, Aymeric's words are a solemn vow. He acknowledges the sacrifices made by those who have fought and died in the pursuit of peace, including characters like Haurchefant. He commits to continuing their work, recognizing that the path to lasting peace will be long and fraught with challenges. His declaration that &quot;we will never abandon our cause&quot; reflects his determination to honor their memory and to see through the dream of a peaceful coexistence between man and dragon, no matter how difficult the journey may be.<br /> |-<br /> | 5 || &quot;While it is true that man succumbs all too often to anger and avarice, he may yet overcome his baser instincts through the forming of bonds with others.&quot; || [[Nanamo]] || {{questlink|main|Parley on the Front Lines}}, Cutscene 3 || The quote is delivered during a critical point in a parley for peace between the [[Eorzean Alliance]] and Emperor [[Varis zos Galvus]] of the [[Garlean Empire]]. During the parley, Emperor Varis reveals his radical vision for the world: a desire to bring about the [[Rejoining]], at the cost of countless lives. His argument is that this would create a perfect, unified race of humanity, free from the divisions and conflicts that plague the current world. <br /> <br /> In response to Varis's grand but destructive vision, Nanamo counters with a defense of human nature. She acknowledges that humans often fall prey to negative emotions like anger and greed. However, she argues that these flaws can be mitigated and even overcome through the creation of bonds between people. She asserts that the flaws and imperfections of humanity are not reasons to erase or homogenize the world, but rather reasons to work together to build a better future.<br /> |-<br /> | 6 || &quot;Such victories are rarely won without sacrifice. But the prize is worth the price.&quot; || [[Raubahn]] || {{questlink|main|Rhalgr's Beacon}}, Cutscene 1 || The context of the quote comes after the Warrior of Light and the Scions return from their mission in the Far East, where they successfully helped to liberate [[Doma]] from imperial rule. This victory is seen as a significant turning point, not only for Doma but also for the broader conflict against the Garlean Empire. The leaders of the Alliance are aware that the news of Doma's liberation will have created unrest and weakened the resolve of the imperial forces, providing an opportunity to strike back and advance their own campaign to reclaim [[Ala Mhigo]]. Raubahn's statement reflects his view that the sacrifices made in Doma, including the lives lost and the hardships endured, were significant, but the outcome - freedom from imperial rule - is justified.<br /> |-<br /> | 7 || &quot;And we for our part are glad indeed to be able to welcome friends both old and new...&quot; || [[Kan-E-Senna]] || {{questlink|main|The Call}}, Cutscene 2 || Kan-E-Senna's words are part of the formal welcoming of Lord Hien of Doma and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn to the Eorzean Alliance council meeting. The leaders of Eorzea are expressing their appreciation for the unity and support of their allies as they face the challenges ahead. The mention of &quot;friends both old and new&quot; refers to the longstanding members of the Alliance as well as the newly arrived Doman contingent.<br /> |-<br /> | 8 || &quot;Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair.&quot; || [[Hien]] || {{questlink|main|On the Eve of Destiny}}, Cutscene 2 || The quote &quot;Save your tears for the morrow&quot; occurs during a conversation on the eve of a significant battle to reclaim [[Doma Castle]]. In this scene, Hien and his allies are preparing for the final assault on the castle, which includes the drastic decision to flood the castle to weaken the enemy forces. <br /> <br /> Overcome with emotion, [[Gosetsu]] reflects on his past failures and the opportunity he has been given to redeem himself, leading to a moment of vulnerability. Hien, recognizing the heavy atmosphere and the weight of the upcoming battle, responds with the phrase &quot;Save your tears for the morrow,&quot; suggesting that while the situation is grave, the time for emotional release - whether it be in victory or defeat - will come after the battle is over. Hien's words are meant to encourage his comrades to focus on the task at hand and to remain strong until the mission is complete.<br /> |-<br /> | 9 || &quot;From tragedy and sacrifice we rise to greet a new dawn.&quot; || [[Papalymo]] || {{questlink|main|Promises Kept}}, Cutscene 2 || This quote appears at the beginning of [[Patch 3.4]] in a voiceover, after the Warrior of Light has killed Nidhogg for the second and final time and lasting peace has returned to Ishgard. It serves as a reminder that despite the hardships and sacrifices they have endured, they must continue to move forward with hope and determination.<br /> |-<br /> | 10 || &quot;A future shaped by the choices we made, in ways we could never have foreseen.&quot; || [[Edmont]] || {{questlink|main|As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness}}, Cutscene 5 || The quote reflects on the aftermath of the Siege of the Vault, where religious extremists opposed to change in Ishgard take hostages, demanding Ser Aymeric's execution. The Scions launch a rescue mission, during which Vidofnir intervenes, saving a child and symbolizing hope for peace between Ishgard and the Dravanians. Count Edmont's reflection underscores the uncertainty of the future. This is also the final line by Edmont's English VA, Stephen Critchlow, who died in September 2021 at the age of 54.<br /> |-<br /> | 11 || &quot;Yet miracles do happen. So let us pray, and will our friends home.&quot; || [[Beq Lugg]] || {{questlink|main|Reflections in Crystal}}, Cutscene 5 || The Scions prepare to return to the Source from the First through a dangerous soul-transfer ritual using spirit vessels to traverse the rift between the worlds. Beq Lugg is overseeing the process which is fraught with uncertainty and risk. Despite the challenges, Beq Lugg expresses hope and belief in the possibility of a miracle, encouraging everyone involved to trust in the success of the ritual and safely return home.<br /> |-<br /> | 12 || &quot;I won't stop praying until I know they're safe.&quot; || [[Ryne]] || {{questlink|main|Reflections in Crystal}}, Cutscene 5 || Ryne's reply to Beq Lugg's line above. Ryne hopes for the safety of the Scions as they prepare to make the journey back across the rift to the Source.<br /> |-<br /> | 13 || &quot;Strong art thou, mortal.&quot; || [[Midgardsormr]] || {{questlink|main|Fetters of Lament}}, Cutscene 5 || In [[Azys Lla]], the Warrior of Light seeks a way to reach the Flagship. After discovering the path is blocked, Midgardsormr directs the WoL to his imprisoned child, [[Tiamat]], who shares her tragic past. Moved by her story, the WoL's Crystal of Fire regains its light, and [[Hydaelyn|Hydaelyn's]] blessing is restored. Acknowledging the WoL's strength and worthiness to bear the Light, Midgardsormr offers his wings to carry them to the Flagship to face the challenges ahead.<br /> |-<br /> | 14 || &quot;Look to the light within, that you may continue to serve as a beacon to others.&quot; || [[Minfilia]] || {{questlink|main|Crossing Paths}}, Cutscene 2 || This quote is spoken by Minfilia (as the [[Oracle of Light]]) to her counterpart in the First.<br /> |-<br /> | 15 || &quot;Let's finish this.&quot; || [[Ardbert]] || {{questlink|main|One Life for One World}}, Cutscene 1 || This line reflects Ardbert (as the Warrior of Darkness) and his determination just before the final confrontation with the Warrior of Light on the Source. The confrontation is Ardbert's desperate attempt to save the First, which has been overcome by the Flood of Light.<br /> |}<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

We should focus on the task at hand.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Correct me if I'm wrong, but Meteion renders herself invisible by matching her aetheric density to that of her surroundings, does she not?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If so, could we not then disrupt her concealment with a surfeit of aether? Much how Emet-Selch solidified your presence when first we met you!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Don't be absurd. I can hardly channel aether to a recipient whose whereabouts are hidden from me.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Which is why we must all work together.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' [Forename] will continue the search in the same manner as before, but this time with you in tow. Once he/she ascertains Meteion's likely location, you proceed to reveal our wayward familiar with a swift aetherial downpour!<br /> '''Venat:''' Very clever. And thankfully, she has made herself easier to capture by fleeing towards Lethe.<br /> '''Venat:''' Assuming she is made visible, it should prove no great feat to herd her into a corner.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Then we have our plan. [Forename] and Emet-Selch will be our tracker and trapper respectively, while we others predict and obstruct Meteion's avenues of escape.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch and I will keep an eye on each other's aether to help coordinate our efforts. Let us be about it!<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...Well, it seems we are partners for the time being. Let us return to where we last saw Meteion and pick up the trail from there.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I will keep myself in a state of preparedness, ready to rain down aether at a moment's notice ─ meaning it falls to ''you'' to keep the way clear.<br /> <br /> ===Search for Meteion while accompanied by Emet-Selch.===<br /> &gt; Suspicious disturbance (X:30.1, Y:14.2)<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Why can't I fly?

As if this wasn't tiresome enough...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well, at least that open expanse should make her easier to find. We won't lose her this time!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Ugh. The indignation, to drag my robe through the water. Hythlodaeus better not breathe a word of this to Azem...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Still, mild humiliation will be the least of our concerns if we fail to get our hands on Meteion!<br /> <br /> '''Conversation Point:''' (X:30.0, Y:15.5)<br /> &gt; Discuss the water's edge<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' We should be able to reach the bottom of this drop by climbing down the rocks at the water's edge.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Do not even ''think'' of dragging me over the falls. Final Days or no, if I end up drenched from head to toe, I swear I will feed you to a remora.<br /> <br /> ===Continue searching for Meteion while accompanied by Emet-Selch. (Cutscene)===<br /> &gt; Suspicious disturbance (X:32.0, Y:17.7)<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Not here... I'm not here... Please...''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' By that rock, is she?

Why can't I hide!?''<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; There's no need to run, Meteion!<br /> &gt; We will hear your report, good or bad!<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' ''[Forename]...? What are you saying? Everything is so faint...''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''I'm sorry... I'm not strong enough. Stay away. I'm begging you...''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Don't make me say it. It will break him. His poor, fragile heart...''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Now we have a chance.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Once the others are in position, the two of us can herd her into their midst!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Keep after Meteion! Hythlodaeus and I will coordinate our movements!<br /> <br /> '''Conversation Point:''' (X:37.6, Y:16.9)<br /> &gt; Discuss the neus<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Is this neus not in use? It seems to have been left to the mercy of the elements...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Either way, it bears no trace of Meteion's essence. We move on!<br /> <br /> ===Survey the area while accompanied by Emet-Selch. (Cutscene)===<br /> &gt; Suspicious disturbance (X:37.6, Y:17.3)<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' There! I see her!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Now, where to close the trap...?<br /> <br /> ===Survey the next area while accompanied by Emet-Selch. (Cutscene)===<br /> &gt; Suspicious disturbance (X:36.3, Y:14.3)<br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Aha!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Give chase. We shall herd her into the shelter.<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' Please, Meteion. We must speak.<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''I'm sorry, Hermes... I'm so sorry...''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''If someone can hear these words, then please...''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Please...protect them. Protect them all.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' Individual self suspended. Connection with shared consciousness stable.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Our survey is complete. We shall now report our findings.<br /> '''Meteion:''' All units safely arrived at their respective destinations. Seeking answers to Hermes's question, we attempted to make contact with the intelligent denizens of each star.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Results are as follows, in order of numerical code.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hena: Traces of civilization found ─ structures believed to have served as domiciles. No extant life-forms detected.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Dyo: Ruined remnants of buildings scattered across star, surface of which is encased in ice. Presence of life could not be verified.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Tria: Evidence of large population centers akin to cities recovered. No extant life-forms found ─ only their lingering essence.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Tessera: Edifices surmised to be abandoned residences found. No extant life-forms detected. Deadly plague or extreme environmental degradation likely to have led to mass extinction.<br /> '''Hermes:''' They are all...dead?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Okto: Star found in state of violent conflict. Contact successfully made with inhabitants, but deployment of weapons of mass destruction resulted in total annihilation of local population shortly thereafter.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Ennea: Star is a barren desert. No identifiable flora found. Bones of living beings resembling men discovered beneath sands, but determination regarding their intelligence inconclusive.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Remind me, Hermes. What exactly was the question you entrusted to Meteion?<br /> '''Hermes:''' I tasked her with asking what others live for. What gives their lives...meaning...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Did you consider what may happen if the premise of the question is flawed?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' To be able to answer it, one must be living ─ and desire to continue doing so.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But if Meteion finds no living beings in the course of her journey...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Or none who desire to live, what then?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What answers would she derive from their silence?<br /> '''Venat:''' Meteion, enough. Suspend your mission and return hither at once.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Deka-pente: Local civilization once flourished under auspices of higher power. Said power later laid waste to civilization in fit of rage.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Upon revealing this to me, entity elected to self-terminate in lieu of providing answer to question. No other intelligent life-forms found.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Turning a deaf ear, are we?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' We are taking Meteion back to Amaurot. As I understand, we will need her if we are to bring back all of her sisters.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Y-Yes...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Meteion...<br /> '''Hermes:''' It isn't right, is it? It isn't right to turn away from the answer...even if the answer...is pain...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Even if we aberrations must scream ourselves hoarse to be heard...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Aye. Whatever answers we find, I will not dismiss them out of hand. These words I said to you...and I will hold myself to them.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What is the meaning of this!?<br /> '''Hermes:''' You cannot take Meteion. Not until she has finished her report.<br /> '''Hermes:''' All else must wait.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You fool!<br /> | Voiced cutscene end | <br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Venat:''' If all Hermes means to do is listen to Meteion's report, then it is his right to do so.<br /> '''Venat:''' But once he receives the answers to his question, what then? The fate of the world may very well hinge upon the choice he makes in that moment...and we must be there when he makes it.<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' ...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Emet-Selch.===<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Why, Hermes? Why could you not leave well enough alone!?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Will these answers assuage the pain you feel when a creation is returned to aether?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Had you never cast your accursed question to the distant stars, you may have one day learned to be at peace upon this one...<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

I commend Emet-Selch for his practicality.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Do not approach me, do not speak to me, and do not dare presume to treat me as a friend. I am merely carrying out my duty.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I think the time for leisurely exploration is past. If I might have a moment to adjust my vision...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' ...There he is. On the next isle over. Meteion is with him.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Hermes appears to be in the midst of an observational study, but I suggest we hurry over before they venture elsewhere.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Head straight down the path ─ we can teleport to Misopses Euros from the device at the bottom of the slope.<br /> <br /> ===Travel from easterly Boreneus to Euroneus.===<br /> This appears to be the teleporter to Misopses Euros.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Venat:''' Misopses Euros is interesting in that it is the only region in Elpis which lacks a researcher hub.<br /> '''Venat:''' This is largely due to the nature of its observation sites, within which they let loose creatures anticipated to be unruly and dangerous.<br /> '''Venat:''' I have also heard tell that the area is kept deliberately sparse in the event that─ Well, let us just say that no one should live near the neus which provides access to a certain...facility.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What, you expect me to praise you and your progress? On the contrary, I'm simply surprised you made it this far.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Then again, even with you slowing her down, there is no denying that Venat is an accomplished researcher. Her wealth of wisdom and experience is unmatched, and her achievements in creation magicks ─ in any field, frankly ─ are nothing short of extraordinary.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Though the singular brilliance which sets her apart can make her motives somewhat impenetrable at times...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As her student and successor puts it, she is a force of nature, at once so close...and at the same time, so very distant.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus.===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' They are close by, within the Hungering Gardens. That would be the circular enclosure you see just up ahead.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well, then, [Forename] ─ make yourself useful and bring Hermes out here to us.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' If I were to go, he would assume I was only there to press him on the Fandaniel matter. Of all of us present, you stand the best chance at convincing him to put aside his work for the moment.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' But the creations in there are not exactly─<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Hmm, then again, perhaps [Forename] can handle them... He/She did survive a bout with Venat, after all!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Off you go to find Hermes, but do be prepared to come to blows with the garden's denizens!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Someone needs to go into the Hungering Gardens to speak with Hermes, and it seems Emet-Selch has nominated you for the task!<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' [Forename]? Where did you come from?<br /> <br /> ===Search for Hermes in the Hungering Gardens.===<br /> '''Hermes:''' [Forename], what are you doing here! I thought you were keeping Hythlodaeus and Emet-Selch company?<br /> '''Hermes:''' ...An “important matter.” And unrelated to my decision on Fandaniel, you say?<br /> '''Hermes:''' Then, yes, I will come. As soon as my work here is finished.<br /> '''Hermes:''' It will not be long, I promise, but you should really wait outside the garden with the others. This is no place for idle exploration.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Meteion:''' We're taking notes! We'll talk later?<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' You needn't be concerned for our safety. Meteion and I are protected by a ward which conceals our presence from the creatures.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' I was prepared to swoop in if need be, but 'tis clear you have faced your fair share of monstrous opponents.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...What is that ghastly odor?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus.===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' You spoke with Hermes, then?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' ...And were briefly entangled with the denizens of the Hungering Gardens as well, I see ─ or should I say, smell.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I cannot speak for certain Convocation members, but I for one am impressed with your fortitude! Well done indeed!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Now that you've convinced Hermes to confer with us, let us pray that things will soon take a turn for the better.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' For as fascinating as it would be to meet the Emet-Selch who would recreate Amaurot in the depths of the ocean, I think it best for all concerned if such tragic events never came to pass.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Be it in our future or your past─assuming yours is not truly written in stone.

This first phase ends at 80% and includes:<br /> <br /> *'''Kleos''': Deals unavoidable damage and covers the edge in searing light. Entering the edge of the arena will deal damage and inflict bleeding, so move carefully as you avoid the following attacks.<br /> *'''Circumzenithal Arc''': Venat will quickly move to one side of the arena and begin charging this attack. Circumzenithal Arc is a wide AoE to the front of Venat, covering the side of the arena she is facing. The AoE indicator won't appear until just before this attack finishes casting, so move quickly behind Venat once she jumps away.<br /> *'''True Blink''': Venat will summon clones that jump to the edges of the arena and begin charging line AoE attacks, covering the majority of the arena. There will be two safe spots on either side of the clones at the edges of the arena; move there to avoid this attack.<br /> **Venat will then cast '''Circumzenithal Arc''', so move back behind her.<br /> *'''Circle of Brilliance''': Venat will summon four moving AoEs around the edges of the arena. These will slowly move in a straight line across the arena, dealing damage at set intervals. Predict the path of each AoE as you dodge them to avoid this attack.<br /> <br /> ====Phase 2====<br /> When Venat reaches 80% health, she will cast '''Mousa's Mantle''' and switch her equiped weapon to Dancer Chakrams. New mechanics include:<br /> *'''Epea Pteroenta''': With her Chakrams equipped, Venat will cover the arena in three triangle-shaped AoEs, one at a time. Stand in the final AoE indicator to appear, then quickly move into the area where the first AoE explodes to avoid the remaining two AoEs.<br /> *'''Parhelion''': Venat will begin attacking with a series of AoEs. Three thin cone AoEs will stretch to the edges of the arena, while a circle AoE appears in the center. Then, as Venat rotates, the cone AoEs will move in the same direction as her, dealing damage at set intervals. At the same time, a ring AoE will appear around the edge of the circle from before, followed by a final circle around the edge of the arena.<br /> <br /> ====Phase 3====<br /> At 66%, Venat will again cast '''Mousa's Mantle''' and swap her weapon to a White Mage staff. New mechanics include:<br /> <br /> *'''True Aero IV''': Deals unavoidable damage, then summons a series of wind orbs around the arena. These will emit point-blank AoEs at set intervals, so stay away from them.<br /> Afflatus Azem: While the wind orbs from True Aero IV are still on the field, Venat will target you with Afflatus Azem. This attack will send an AoE chasing after you, which you will need to run away from. Navigate through the wind orbs to avoid Afflatus Azem.<br /> *'''True Holy''': Venat will move to the center of the arena and begin charging this attack. True Holy will knock you back from the center of the arena. You will need to position yourself so that you aren't knocked into any of the wind orbs.<br /> *'''True Stone IV''': Venat will cover the arena in a series of large circular AoEs. Dodge these by moving into the ones that appear last, then quickly move into the AoEs that exploded first.<br /> <br /> ※ When Venat reaches 40% health remaining, she will become untargettable and summon Thelema adds, which moves towards her to charge her Aether gauge. Defeat them to reduce the charge as much as possible, and focus especially on the faster red ones while avoiding circular AOEs.<br /> *After defeating a few waves of Thelema, Venat will unleash her ultimate attack, '''Thelma''', which will be unsurvivable if the gauge reached 100%. The fight will end once Thelma is withstood.<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> *Survey the area from the vantage point.<br /> *Speak with [[Venat]].<br /> *Speak with [[Venat]].<br /> *Speak with [[Venat]] again.<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> *Venat has a new course of investigation in mind.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Venat:''' I should like to visit the site from which Hermes sent forth the Meteia. If we are fortunate, we might find some hint of what drives this research of his.<br /> '''Venat:''' Galene said she spotted them in the southeast, rising from an isle she could see from the edge.<br /> '''Venat:''' If we stand at that same vantage point, it should not prove too difficult to locate the isle in question. Let's take a look, shall we?<br /> <br /> ===Survey the area from the vantage point. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Venat:''' Now, if I were conducting some mystery research, where would I go...?<br /> '''Venat:''' ...Ah. What about that one?<br /> '''Venat:''' Have you the means to fly? 'Tis quite a distance away.<br /> '''Venat:''' Hm. Inconvenient, but hardly an insurmountable problem.<br /> '''Venat:''' To me, Argos!<br /> '''Venat:''' My friend, would you mind creating a double to carry [Forename] here over to that island?<br /> '''Argos:''' ...<br /> '''Venat:''' Stubborn creature. There is no place on this great star we have not together traveled, and still he remains obstinate in the presence of strangers.<br /> '''Venat:''' Argos has rather exacting standards, I'm afraid.<br /> '''Venat:''' What? You've ridden him before...? Ah ─ your “before” meaning my “after.” Not at all confusing, that.<br /> '''Venat:''' Interesting. 'Tis certainly not unthinkable...<br /> '''Venat:''' But speaking of the here and now, the quick solution is for us to face off in a sparring match.<br /> '''Venat:''' Demonstrate to him that you are capable of holding your own against me in battle, and you should convince Argos that you are worthy of his back.<br /> '''Venat:''' And besides, I might even teach you a thing or two into the bargain.<br /> '''Venat:''' You seem doubtful. But useful lesson or not, it will certainly be a moment to remember ─ a memory of the distant past to cherish!<br /> '''Venat:''' What say you, traveler out of time?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Choose your battlefield!<br /> '''Venat:''' I admire your confidence!<br /> &gt; I will do what I must.<br /> '''Venat:''' I had a feeling you might say something like that. Know that you “must” give a good showing, however!<br /> &gt; And if this memory turns out to be a bad one...? <br /> '''Venat:''' That's up to you, isn't it? If a loss would sting, then you had better win!<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' Clear your mind and prepare your weapons. I will await you at the clearing over yonder.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> &gt; Argos<br /> The entity is identical to the one you encountered in Mare Lamentorum...except ''this'' Argos is pointedly ignoring you.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Shall we begin? Be warned: I'll not go easy on you!<br /> <br /> ''After duty''<br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Venat:''' 'Twas my intent to finish it, but clearly I underestimated you.<br /> '''Venat:''' One would think I never learn. I made the same mistake with Azem when we first sparred. Despite being less than half my age, his/her strength was astounding.<br /> '''Venat:''' As is yours. 'Tis plain you have weathered considerable hardship. Far more, even, than your tales would suggest.<br /> '''Venat:''' It seems we have both learned much on our journeys.<br /> '''Venat:''' Well now, I daresay he has warmed to you.<br /> '''Venat:''' A boon to be sure. He never forgets his favorites, and is ever eager to come to their aid.<br /> | Voiced cutscene end | <br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat again.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Argos will soon have us standing on the very spot where the Meteia made their departure into the night sky. With luck, we will learn something of Hermes's intentions.<br /> '''Venat:''' My hope is that we find no connection ─ no festering wish for oblivion. Then we might have Hermes and his considerable expertise working for us, rather than against us.<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Utterly preposterous.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' While not the words I would have chosen, I too have my doubts. Much of it borders on the incredulous.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' What of you, Venat?<br /> '''Venat:''' Not knowing the precise details of the first Final Days, 'tis difficult to determine the veracity of the tale.<br /> '''Venat:''' Supposing it is all true, I must ask myself why I would do what I did.<br /> '''Venat:''' Why would I feel I had no recourse but to oppose the Fourteen and create this Hydaelyn...<br /> '''Venat:''' Circumstances change, of course, but it would not have been an easy decision regardless.<br /> '''Venat:''' No, there must have been a reason. One compelling enough to force me to take such drastic measures.<br /> '''Venat:''' Then there is the Elpis flower, which I said would serve as a guide.<br /> '''Venat:''' That it's of import to your mission is plain, but your presence here leads me to believe that this place also holds significance.<br /> '''Venat:''' But what could it be? What are we meant to accomplish?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Might it not be simply thus?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' In the future whence he/she came, the Final Days could not be averted. Mankind has no choice but to flee the star.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' By alerting us to that eventuality, perhaps you wished to pave the way for other futures.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Theoretically speaking, it is a possibility.<br /> '''Venat:''' Yet if that were my primary objective, I see no reason to guide our friend to Elpis specifically.<br /> '''Venat:''' The Capitol in Amaurot, or even my own home would be more logical destinations.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' True, true... I note also that Hydaelyn did not specify a point in time to which he/she must return.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' By this, it may be inferred that it was not critical that we should meet.<br /> '''Venat:''' Alternately, She had reason to believe that our paths would converge, coincidental though it may seem.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' This is quite a puzzle, and we do not have all the pieces...<br /> '''Venat:''' Hardly any. But we do have one immutable fact.<br /> '''Venat:''' If the Final Days are indeed as described, they will bring death to all that I hold dear.<br /> '''Venat:''' Yet despite being afforded long years of preparation, the only provisions I could make were...for flight?<br /> '''Venat:''' Nay, my first and foremost endeavor would be to find a way to forestall the coming doom.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Given that even the Fourteen failed, mayhap you deemed it impossible.<br /> '''Venat:''' Nothing is impossible. This, I have always believed.<br /> '''Venat:''' And if Hydaelyn is indeed me, She would believe the same.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Listen to yourself. Are you seriously entertaining the notion that you are a messianic figure in some far-fetched tale?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well, I will not. I refuse to accept that our world could be undone by some unforeseen calamity.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I also take offense to my portrayal as a megalomaniacal madman.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' To sacrifice oneself for the star is a noble act, and I would hold those who gave themselves to this Zodiark in the highest esteem.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Yet you claim I recreated Amaurot and populated it with phantoms of our people. A bizarre indulgence that would be insulting to their memory.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Worse still, I even ''invited'' you there ─ literally invited my own downfall. Why would I do something so idiotic and inexplicable?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Now, I will allow that the hypothetical task of restoring our world would be daunting in the extreme. The thought of having to bear such a burden for a thousand ''thousand'' lives horrifies me.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But I would never forsake my duty! I would never forsake my brethren!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You do not know me!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I've had my fill of your fiction. I will return to my duty...and you will not bother me again.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch! Wait!<br /> '''Venat:''' You've seen much of Elpis already. If you have any observations to share, I should like to hear them.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Dynamis is key to all of this. <br /> '''Venat:''' Ah yes, the energy distinct from aether. Though not my field, I have a basic understanding of dynamis.<br /> '''Venat:''' And you say Hermes researched the phenomenon in the course of creating Meteion...Yes, I believe the warrants further investigation.<br /> &gt; Hermes and Meteion are somehow involved.<br /> '''Venat:''' Hermes and his creation Meteion, you say?<br /> '''Venat:''' If dynamis is the selfsame energy as akasa, as it likely seems, then those two may well be at the center of the calamity to come. This warrants further investigation.<br /> &gt; I'm still trying to make sense of it all... <br /> '''Venat:''' I see. Then for now, it might be best that we follow your lead and investigate he who will become Fandaniel<br /> '''Venat:''' If dynamis is the selfsame energy as akasa, as it likely seems, we would do well to learn more about it.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' With that settled, 'tis time for action.<br /> '''Venat:''' The missing pieces of the puzzle are here, I'm certain of it. And when you find them, the picture my future self has painted will be complete, and you will have your answer.<br /> '''Venat:''' Suffice it to say I will aid you in your quest.<br /> '''Venat:''' Have faith. If Emet-Selch is the man Azem described to me, we've not seen the last of him.<br /> | Voiced cutscene end |<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat again.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Shall we begin our investigations, then?<br /> '''Venat:''' I am acquainted with Hermes, of course, but only as a visitor received by the chief overseer of Elpis. Of the man himself, I know only that which is common knowledge.<br /> '''Venat:''' Thus I suggest we fall back on the tried-and-true method of conversing with the locals. The observers who live here can surely tell us more of Hermes and Meteion, and I have a good idea of where we might begin...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat once more.===<br /> '''Venat:''' See you the woman standing in front of yonder building? Her name is Ismene.<br /> '''Venat:''' She is the one who made arrangements for my stay in Elpis, and from what I recall, she has held her position here for quite some time. Chances are she can provide us with some insights.<br /> '''Venat:''' Go and ask your questions. I will help with drawing out answers if need be, but I leave the choice of topic up to you.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Venat:''' Let us speak with Ismene. You know more of this coming calamity, so I think it best that you lead the conversation.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Ismene. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Ismene:''' Questions? For me? Well, I suppose I have no other pressing duties at the moment...<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;The following event cannot be skipped.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> '''Venat:''' Greetings, Ismene. My friend here is desperately curious about Chief Hermes, and I was wondering if you might indulge him/her.<br /> '''Ismene:''' Certainly, Mistress Venat. Anything to be of service!<br /> '''Ismene:''' What do you wish to know?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; What kind of person is Hermes?<br /> '''Ismene:''' Well, I can only answer from my own experience, but...<br /> '''Ismene:''' I would describe him as a quiet man ─ reserved, you might say ─ and occasionally somewhat poor with his choice of words.<br /> '''Ismene:''' His reticent nature, however, does not prevent him from carrying out his duties as chief overseer.<br /> '''Ismene:''' The man is a walking archive when it comes to life-forms. He can discuss any species in incredible detail, and is the leading authority on concepts with the power of flight.<br /> <br /> &gt; What are Hermes's interests?<br /> '''Ismene:''' ...His interests?<br /> '''Ismene:''' Well, he is an authority on flying life-forms, and has expansive knowledge of living creatures in general. Is that what you wished to know...?<br /> '''Venat:''' How would you describe him as a person? As a colleague?<br /> '''Ismene:''' He is a quiet man — reserved, you might say — and occasionally somewhat poor with his choice of words.<br /> '''Ismene:''' His reticent nature, however, does not prevent him from carrying out his duties as chief overseer.<br /> '''Ismene:''' I hope that answers your question. Was there anything else?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; How long has Meteion been here?<br /> '''Ismene:''' I cannot rightly say... As the chief's personal creation, Meteion has not been subjected to observation and study like other concepts.<br /> '''Venat:''' So one day, she was simply there. And what do you make of her abilities?<br /> '''Ismene:''' I understand that she is a highly unusual familiar, able to read emotions and communicate directly with one's mind. Exactly how she was created with that talent, however, is a mystery to me.<br /> '''Ismene:''' My apologies. I wish I could explain her nature in more depth, but I've not had occasion to discuss it with Chief Hermes.<br /> &gt; Do you know of Meteion's abilities? <br /> '''Ismene:''' It's no secret that she is a highly unusual familiar. Of late, the chief often makes his rounds with her, like a mother hen raising her chick.<br /> '''Ismene:''' I understand that she is able to read emotions and communicate directly with one's mind. Exactly how she was created with that talent, however is a mystery to me.<br /> '''Ismene:''' My apologies I wish I could describe her nature in more depth, but I have not had occasion to discuss it with Chief Hermes. <br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Do you wish you knew him better?<br /> '''Ismene:''' The chief may not be the most gregarious individual, but he engages with us as is necessary for everyone to perform their duties. I wouldn't want to intrude upon his privacy for the sake of curiosity...<br /> '''Ismene:''' Though if you wish to learn more about Meteion, you could try speaking with Timaios ─ another expert in the creation of flying concepts.<br /> '''Ismene:''' He should be conducting his observations on the banks of the stream, somewhere to the east. Oh, and, uh, unless you take a particular joy in rambling discourse, I suggest you keep your questions concise.<br /> &gt; Do you trust him?<br /> '''Ismene:''' I...beg your pardon? I've known Chief Hermes for many years. Though I cannot say we are close, he has never withheld information to the detriment of our duties, if that is what you mean...?<br /> '''Venat:''' Forgive us, we seem to have veered slightly off course here. Is there perhaps someone else who could tell us more about Meteion?<br /> '''Ismene:''' That would be Timaios. He has a similar expertise with flying concepts, and is more than eager to discuss the subject.<br /> '''Ismene:''' You'll find him conducting his observations on the banks of the stream, somewhere to the east. Oh, and, uh, unless you take a particular joy in rambling discourse, I suggest you keep your questions concise.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' We shall keep that in mind. Thank you for your patience and your insight.<br /> '''Ismene:''' Think nothing of it. If there is aught else you need during your stay, please, do not hesitate to ask.<br /> '''Venat:''' Come, [Forename], I think we've taken enough of Ismene's time.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Our investigation is off to a fine start, wouldn't you agree?<br /> '''Venat:''' From here, I propose that we split up. I shall continue making inquiries with the resident observers, if you could track down the colleague Ismene mentioned.<br /> '''Venat:''' While I did feel compelled to interject once or twice during that previous conversation, you seem more than capable of drawing forth the answers you seek.<br /> '''Venat:''' All I ask is that you watch your footing around the stream! We can meet back here once you've finished speaking with this Timaios.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Venat:''' I will start from one side of the compound and make my way through, speaking to as many people as I can. We should have plenty to discuss upon your return.<br /> <br /> '''Ismene:''' You are a familiar, yes? Belonging to Mistress Venat? You couldn't have been blessed with a finer master.<br /> <br /> ===Search for Timaios. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Timaios:''' Yes, yes, I am Timaios, but please keep your voice down. You'll startle the birds.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;The following event cannot be skipped.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> '''Timaios:''' ...So, what is it you wished to speak about?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Is it true you're an expert on flying creations?<br /> '''Timaios:''' A fellow enthusiast, are you? Well, settle in, and we can discuss the finer points of this fascinating craft!<br /> '''Timaios:''' My deep and abiding love of avian artistry can be traced back to when I was but a young boy, stricken by the transcendent beauty of a glorious, golden-feathered creature my father had designed. It was then and there that I vowed to one day surpass that masterpiece...<br /> ''Timaios launches into a rambling and unstoppable discourse...''<br /> '''Timaios:''' ...And thus did I secure an observer's role here in Elpis, and at last realize my childhood ambition. Here, the dreams I once dreamed are an everyday reality, in which I find fulfillment through the research and creation of new flying life-forms!<br /> '''Timaios:''' An abridged recounting of events, as was doubtless to your disappointment. Is there any specific part you would like me to expound upon...?<br /> '''Timaios:''' ...Hm? You were hoping for my opinion on Chief Hermes's creations? Then why didn't you say so!?<br /> &gt; What do you think of Chief Hermes's flying creations? <br /> '''Timaios:''' Chief Hermes's work? A worthy subject, indeed...<br /> '''Timaios:''' Those beings which soar through the clouds, majestic and graceful, are ever a favorite of creators. Even now, with so many varieties in existence, the flood of newly imagined concepts continues unabated.<br /> '''Timaios:''' What sets the chief's creations apart, however, is how they benefit from his boundless knowledge of the celestial realm.<br /> '''Timaios:''' Birds that climb so high that they disappear from view. Others which traverse the boundless sky in moments, and all without riding the currents...<br /> '''Timaios:''' I know of none save he who can conceive of such marvels. Even we who prize elegance of form above all else are dumbfounded by his genius.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Why not mimic his process?<br /> '''Timaios:''' What!? You mean ''plagiarize''!?<br /> '''Timaios:''' Now, see here. When I take up the threads of creation and begin to weave, I must do so in the belief that I am giving birth to something beautiful. In, in my heart, I knew I was appropriating another's inspiration...<br /> ''Timaios launches into a rambling and unstoppable diatribe...''<br /> '''Timaios:''' ...And such an unconscionable, disgraceful act would be deserving of the utmost scorn!<br /> '''Timaios:''' Therefore, despite my admiration for Meteion as a concept, I have made a conscious effort not to delve too deeply into the inner workings of her nature.<br /> &gt; Meteion, too, is a marvel, then? <br /> '''Timaios:''' My opinion on that matter would be superficial at best...<br /> '''Timaios:''' Despite my admiration for Meteion as a concept, I have never delved too deeply into the inner workings of her nature.<br /> '''Timaios:''' I know that she has a gift for communicating via emotions, but otherwise, her abilities are a mystery to me.<br /> '''Timaios:''' If Chief Hermes should choose to submit Meteion's concept to the Bureau of the Architect, then will the design be registered for public scrutiny. Analyzing a colleague's creation before that step is...frowned upon, to say the least.<br /> '''Timaios:''' Of course, if he came to me ─ a fellow artisan ─ looking for advice, that would be an entirely different story.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Do you know of dynamis and entelechies?<br /> '''Timaios:''' Dynamis and...entelechies?<br /> '''Timaios:''' Those terms do sound vaguely familiar... Was there not a flower made here in Elpis which exhibited properties of one or the other?<br /> '''Timaios:''' It must have been centuries since I last heard anyone speak of such things. Has there been a resurgence in interest?<br /> &gt; I could tell you more of Meteion's nature, if you like? <br /> '''Timaios:''' No, no, no! Did I not just explain how that was frowned upon!? I couldn't possibly circumvent conventional practice by...<br /> '''Timaios:''' ...Hm. Unless you were sharing such information in the hopes of receiving a constructive opinion...on the application of advanced creation techniques...then I would be practically obligated to...<br /> ''Timaios launches into a rambling and unstoppable deluge of justifications...''<br /> '''Timaios:''' ...So you see, ethically I have no choice but to allow you to disclose Meteion's lesser-known qualities!<br /> '''Timaios:''' Dynamis and...entelechies?<br /> '''Timaios:''' Those terms do sound vaguely familiar... Was there not a flower made here in Elpis which exhibited properties of one or the other?<br /> '''Timaios:''' It must have been ''centuries'' since I last heard anyone speak of such things. And you know how they relate to Meteion and her design?<br /> '''Timaios:''' Then why bring up the subject? I'm flattered that you sought my insight, but I cannot afford to neglect my duties for the sake of idle chatter.<br /> <br /> '''Timaios:''' Now, I really must return to my observations. Surely you have your own tasks to attend to?<br /> <br /> ''Optional Dialogue''<br /> '''Timaios:''' As I said, I have work to be getting on with. If you wish to speak more, you'll have to wait until I've finished for the day.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Back already? That was quick work. You were obviously clever enough to head off any of that “rambling” Ismene mentioned.<br /> ''Only a little rambling''<br /> '''Venat''': Ah, good timing. I finished my own investigations not long ago.<br /> ''If Timaios rambled:''<br /> '''Venat:''' At last! You were gone so long I was beginning to wonder if you'd slipped into the stream and banged your head, or something equally unfortunate.<br /> '''Venat:''' So, have you any new findings to share?<br /> '''Venat:''' I see. Even an expert in the field had little understanding of Meteion's capabilities, let alone an awareness of dynamis.<br /> '''Venat:''' My questions resulted in much the same answers. Hermes's colleagues view Meteion as his personal project, and could provide no details beyond those which you just told me.<br /> '''Venat:''' Which leads me to believe that the only person with any significant knowledge of dynamis is Hermes himself.<br /> '''Venat:''' Yes, we've made some progress here...but more information is needed if we are to reach any definitive conclusions.<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Hythlodaeus asks that you follow him back towards Anagnorisis.<br /> <br /> *The next stop on your journey is Notoneus, where a teleporter awaits to send you to another of Elpis's floating islands. It seems, however, that permission to use the device freely will only be granted in the presence of Hythlodaeus.<br /> <br /> *After using the teleporter, you find yourself whisked upwards to Kallimelios Zephyros, where a close encounter with an ambulatory shark leads to a chance meeting with an eerily familiar woman. Venat, as she is called, recognizes the mark of her own magick upon you, and quickly deduces your origin as a traveler from the future. Intrigued by the possibilities, the former Azem asks that you favor her with the details of your quest, while Emet-Selch vows to ascertain your identity and purpose.<br /> <br /> *Before continuing the conversation begun near the teleporter, Venat requests that you aid her in tracking down a concept crystal that was spirited away by an oreias. Suspecting the creature may have dropped it somewhere in the forest, she directs you to search the southern reaches of Kallimelios Zephyros.<br /> <br /> *You come across a crystal on the ground, seemingly discarded without a care for its condition. This is alsmost certainly the object Venat was searching for.<br /> <br /> *You deliver the crystal to Venat, who applauds your knack for finding lost items. Even though she no longer holds the seat of Azem, it seems she shares your passion for travel, as well as helping those in need. You wonder, as Venat clearly suspects, if this meeting was more fate than chance...<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> Concept Crystal found at X: 10.3 Y: 23.4 Z: 3.0<br /> <br /> [[File:Concept crystal location.png]]<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...I don't know what answer he's searching for, or if it is within our power to give it. But I believe he would make a fine Fandaniel, and that if he rejects us out of hand, we will all be lesser for it.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Where to now? If there is anywhere you would like to visit before we leave, I should be glad to show you the way...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hermes has not yet outright refused his position with the Convocation ─ merely postponed the decision.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As such, I may as well resume my assessment. If we cannot accompany him, then I will content myself with questioning his colleagues.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ever the pragmatist. Then allow me to remain your humble guide.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And what of you, [Forename]? Will you continue along with us?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Wonderful! Our fellowship travels on unbroken. I say we explore another part of Elpis, and see what new encounters there are to be had.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Didn't we part ways with Hermes not far from here? Given the size of Elpis, I expect our paths will cross again before long...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus.===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' From here, we follow the path northwards to Notoneus.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' There we will find one of the neus which facilitate travel between the islands of Elpis.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' First-time travelers must be accompanied by someone with the requisite permission ─ which I have previously been granted. We only need use the device together once, and henceforth you will have leave to use it freely.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Shall we?<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Unless the need is pressing, I won't be tracking Hermes with my aetherial sight. 'Tis poor manners to spy on someone's comings and goings in such a fashion. So don't ask.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Social conventions notwithstanding, perceiving aether requires deliberate and intense concentration, and we otherwise keep our eyes on the corporeal world.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus again. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Here we are: Notoneus. This neus will take us to Kallimelios Zephyros, the western island.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' That's it right there, looming large over us.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Step this way, and we can soon admire the view from above!<br /> <br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I present to you Kallimelios Zephyros.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Here you will find a number of testing facilities as well as the observation hub of Poieten Oikos.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Right, then. Let's begin by─ ...Hm?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Well, well, an oreias. How delightful.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And what, pray tell, is that...?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ah, that's a new species of shark. We approved the concept but a few days ago.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Sharks are among the most popular sea creatures. Rare is the day when someone does not submit a new concept.<br /> Hythlodaeus prattles forth...<br /> '''Familiar Woman:''' That was too close... Are you unharmed?<br /> '''Familiar Woman:''' Well now, if it isn't a pair of familiar faces...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Venat! That we should meet you here!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As I mentioned earlier, the better part of the Convocation holds that when we retire is when we return to the star.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well, she is not among said majority. Even after stepping down, she carries on with her work.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Venat is her name, and she is the previous Azem.<br /> '''Venat:''' It has been a while, Hythlodaeus. You look well.<br /> '''Venat:''' Less so, Emet-Selch. I daresay the lines upon your brow have both deepened and doubled in number.<br /> '''Venat:''' A shame for one so young. You must make an effort to frown less often.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Easier said than done thanks to your unruly successor.<br /> '''Venat:''' How is he/she, if I may ask?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Incorrigible as ever. Rushed headlong into a volcano on the brink of eruption just the other day. I should be glad to share the tale in its entirety later, if you are so inclined.<br /> '''Venat:''' You know I am!<br /> '''Venat:''' Now then, you are...?<br /> '''Venat:''' I say...have you perchance come from the future?<br /> '''Venat:''' I do not believe we have ever met, yet I sense my magick upon you.<br /> '''Venat:''' Therefore if I wove the enchantment, I could only have done so at a later point in time.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' What manner of magick is this, if I may ask?<br /> '''Venat:''' A traveler's ward, of course. It prevents the corruption of one's aether.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; That sounds rather like the blessing of Light...<br /> '''Venat:''' I see you are not ignorant to its presence. And while there are many protective spells, the one you bear is unmistakably mine.<br /> &gt; Does it protect you from enthrallment by primals, by any chance? <br /> '''Venat:''' ...Primals, you say? I'm not familiar with such beings, but if they “enthrall” by warping the balance of aether, then yes ─ the magick would afford you a measure of protection. <br /> '''Venat:''' I gather from your question that you are not ignorant to its presence.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hold on ─ from the future? That's absurd.<br /> '''Venat:''' What is it? Are you unable to speak of the matter?<br /> <br /> The reality to which you must return exists as a result of the Final Days.<br /> You cannot reshape the past to undo the tragedies of the present.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' So, your actions here will not change your history...but they may yet affect the course of ours...<br /> '''Venat:''' How very exciting. I'm quite fond of delving into the unknown ─ and there's naught more unknown than the future.<br /> '''Venat:''' Until a moment finally arrives, we cannot know for certain what will come to pass ─ regardless of our supposed foreknowledge. So you needn't worry for us.<br /> '''Venat:''' More importantly, that you should go to such great lengths as to travel unto the past bespeaks the gravity of your quest.<br /> '''Venat:''' Will you not reveal it to us? Mayhap we can be of aid to your cause.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' If this is true, then you've been keeping quite the secret to yourself.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As a representative of the Convocation, I will hear it all. Your identity, purpose ─ everything.<br /> '''Venat:''' Why don't we move to a place more conducive to calm conversation.<br /> '''Venat:''' I've been working here for some days now at an old friend's behest.<br /> '''Venat:''' If it is agreeable, we may make use of my accommodation at Poieten Oikos.<br /> '''Venat:''' We were meant to meet, I am certain of it.<br /> '''Venat:''' Else I wouldn't have marked you so clearly and sent you unto myself in the past.<br /> '''Venat:''' It's precisely the sort of mischief I would get up to ─ and quite inspired, if I do say so myself.<br /> | Voiced cutscene end | <br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And there I thought you were a harmless stray familiar...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As far as I'm concerned, this nebulous talk of future this and changing history that can wait. First, I mean to find out exactly who you are and what you hope to achieve here.<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The future... ''Our'' future. I am deathly curious to hear more.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Venat.===<br /> '''Venat:''' My apologies, but before we move along, a colleague has tasked me with a matter which I'd rather not leave unresolved.<br /> '''Venat:''' It involves finding a certain concept-engraved crystal...and the quick-fingered oreias which made off with it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' An oreias, you say? I think we might have seen the culprit before being distracted by that business with the shark. Would you like us to follow its aetherial trail?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' That would, of course, lead us only to the oreias ─ there is no guarantee that it hasn't dropped or stashed away the crystal you seek.<br /> '''Venat:''' Please! Even that much would be enormously helpful. While you are hunting down the thief, I can follow behind and scour the forest floor just in case.<br /> '''Venat:''' Could I ask you to join the search? I would appreciate another pair of eyes to cover the land to the west of here...<br /> '''Venat:''' Many thanks! There's a small bridge leading into Poieten Oikos ─ let us meet up there once we've exhausted our efforts.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The Azems, both mentor and student, are a force to be reckoned with. I find them a delight, personally, but they have a habit of making Emet-Selch look as if he bit down on a sour grape.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The problem you present is vexing enough without adding the old Azem into the equation.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' &lt;sigh&gt; And she wonders why these lines upon my brow grow deeper, when she herself wields the hammer and chisel...<br /> <br /> ===Deliver the concept crystal to Venat.===<br /> '''Venat:''' Our last searcher returns. I am afraid the oreias no longer had the crystal, nor was I able to find it as I followed in its wake.<br /> '''Venat:''' I don't suppose you fared any better...?<br /> '''Venat:''' The crystal! Well done!<br /> '''Venat:''' Wonderful! Now I can focus on your tale without that missing concept nagging at my mind. Have you always had a knack for finding things?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; I've often been asked to do so. <br /> '''Venat:''' Oho! You too? Some of us seem destined to always be searching. For ourselves and for others.<br /> &gt; Travelling and searching go hand in hand. <br /> '''Venat:''' You travel often, then? It seems we have something in common.<br /> <br /> '''Venat:''' Long ago, when I held the seat of Azem, I was forever trekking back and forth across the star in search of answers to people's problems.<br /> '''Venat:''' Naturally, the need for such journeys has lessened considerably since I entrusted the position to my whimsical successor...<br /> '''Venat:''' Yet I am still eager to come running should an old acquaintance or new interest require my personal attention.<br /> '''Venat:''' That is what brings me to Elpis, in fact. Many times has my presence been requested; my opinions sought concerning the habitat of this or that creation.<br /> '''Venat:''' Agreeing to help locate that missing crystal was a minor distraction...which now promises to become a major revelation! How strange and wonderful it is the way one thing leads to another. Wouldn't you agree?<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

For now, you settle in for more observation as the chief overseer of Elpis goes about his work.<br /> <br /> *Having inspected the ampelos to his satisfaction, Hermes will next look in on a creature that is reportedly having problems─the charybdis. To that end, you make your way to the northern edge of Philomythes Notos.<br /> <br /> *You learn that a third-generation charybdis is unable to fly due to its aetheric balance leaning strongly towards water. Though the observer in charge wishes to revert the specimen and its kind, having deemed them a lost cause, Hermes is loath to give up on them, and offers to transform in order to guide the creature skyward. The proposal is met with shock and dismay, for transforming in public is considered vainglorious and unseemly. While Hermes seems willing to bear the shame if it means saving the creatures, Emet-Selch is not wholly convinced. It is then that Hythlodaeus conceives of a solution. For this, he sends Emet-Selch off with the charybdis, while you and the others remain to assist him with the necessary preparations.<br /> <br /> *Wearing a conspiratorial grin, Hythlodaeus reveals to you his grand plan: having Emet-Selch assist the charybdis. For your part, you are tasked with going to the man and making the initial plea. With the chat mode in Say, say “I have a favor to ask” to indicate to Emet-Selch that you have a request.<br /> <br /> *As you had been warned, Emet-Selch is disinclined to cooperate, but persistence is the key. With the chat mode in Say, say “Please, Emet-Selch” to batter the man's bulwark of petulant defiance.<br /> <br /> *Beneath the combined weight of your incessant nagging, Emet-Selch finally caves and agrees to assist the charybdis. As he tends to the creature, you enjoy a quiet conversation with Hythlodaeus, who speaks of Emet-Selch and their mutual friend with great fondness and admiration. The tale draws to a close just as the charybdis appears to find its wings, and Hythlodaeus bids you signal to Emet-Selch that he may return to the ground. A simple /wave should do the trick.<br /> <br /> *While the observer is impressed that the charybdis can in fact fly, he remains of the opinion that it would be better to simply have their concept adjusted. Hermes, however, is adamant that they continue to be given a chance to prove themselves a worthy addition to the star, and his underling acquiesces before taking his leave. With that, Hermes declares all his present tasks complete, and you set off together back to Anagnorisis.<br /> <br /> *In observing Hermes performing his duties, you have gained some insight into the workings of Elpis, but thus far have uncovered no clear connection to the Final Days. For the sake of the star and all you hold dear, you must keep searching for clues.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Never before had I heard of dynamis or entelechies. I can only assume the Elpis flower was submitted to the bureau before I joined.<br /> <br /> Hermes: All appears to be well. This shouldn't take long.<br /> <br /> Meteion: Entelechy or no, we're friends! In thinness!<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Not that I or anyone else would be able to make use of it even if we knew...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But it irks me to discover that there is an entirely different form of energy ─ and ''no one told me''.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' That personal annoyance aside, Hermes's knowledge is undeniably impressive. Given that there are none among the Fourteen who specialize in the celestial, he would be a welcome addition.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Assuming he can be persuaded to join, that is. I still can't understand his hesitation...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Why did you join the Convocation?<br /> &gt; What do you specialize in?<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Oho, you wish to know why Emet-Selch was chosen for the Convocation? I should be glad to share the tale!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ahem. It began when...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Not. Another. Word.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Lest you've forgotten, we're to learn about Hermes. Not me. My misspent youth is not your concern.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' &lt;sigh&gt; What now?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; I want to learn about the Convocation.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hmmm... If you would accompany us, I suppose you should at least know that much.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The Convocation of Fourteen is a governing body that determines myriad policies. Our goal is to ensure that all is right in creation, that our star may know a brighter future.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As the name suggests, the council is comprised of fourteen offices, each of which is held by an individual chosen for their surpassing abilities.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Depending on the office, one is required to either be an authority in a certain field, or possess skills that would facilitate the performance of their stipulated duties.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The former category includes Mitron, specialist in aquatic life; Loghrif, specialist in terrestrial life and husbandry...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Halmarut, specialist in fungal and plant life; Emmerololth, specialist in medicine and healing...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And Lahabrea, specialist in creation magicks, who has brought forth phantom beings of the highest complexity.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As for the latter category, there is Altima, advocate of the arts; Igeyorhm, champion of enlightenment and rhetoric; Pashtarot, preserver of discipline and order...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Emet-Selch, keeper of the aetherial realm ─ or “Underworld” in the vernacular; Fandaniel, pursuer of extant phenomena...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And Azem, traveler of the world and counselor to the people.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...What? Should I be revealing such details to you? Don't be silly. Even children know this much, and you would do well to remember it all.<br /> &gt; Actually... never mind. <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Then why did you bother me!? &lt;sigh&gt; Honestly, I'm beginning to think you were created for the sole purpose of trying my patience...<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' (I'll tell you the tale when we're away from sensitive ears.)<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Entelechy or no, we're friends! In thinness!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hermes.===<br /> '''Hermes:''' My apologies for the wait. I have inspected the ampelos to my satisfaction.<br /> '''Hermes:''' All is well with the creature, and I daresay it won't be long ere it is released unto the world.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Another creation, however, reportedly isn't faring so well ─ the charybdis.<br /> '''Hermes:''' That is what we shall tend to next.<br /> '''Hermes:''' If you would follow me, my friends, we shall return to the main isle and head north.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' Uwaaah! ...Oh, forgive me, I thought another member of the Convocation had come. This is turning out to be an eventful day...<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' There is a slight difference in aetheric balance between these charybdises.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' By this, it may be assumed that they aren't the original creations, but their offspring.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' A serpentine bird...or a winged snake?<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Why is this one blue and shiny...?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hermes again.===<br /> '''Hermes:''' I understand there is a problem with one of the charybdis.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' Yes, that's right.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' As you know, the charybdis is based on a sea creature. Owing to adjustments to enhance its affinity to wind, it is capable of flight.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' The specimens created from the concept could all fly without issue, but a problem arose in subsequent generations.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' This third-generation creature was born with an aetheric balance leaning strongly towards water. Its aquatic origin reasserting itself, it would seem...<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' The result being its affinity to wind is diminished, and it cannot fly. No matter what we try, we can't get it to rise even the slightest bit.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' For such change to manifest in so few generations... I fear they are too unstable. Flawed.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' With your permission, I will revert the creatures, and recommend to the bureau that the concept be revised.<br /> '''Hermes:''' ...With its aetheric balance leaning towards water, the charybdis would indeed struggle to manipulate wind.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Yet it is too early to conclude that it cannot fly. Having failed at first, it may simply have developed a fear.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I shall transform and fly with it, helping it to manipulate wind until it finds its wings.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' What!? Y-You needn't go to such lengths...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You don't know? &lt;sigh&gt; But of course not...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Transformation is an art in which one manipulates a vast quantity of aether to construct another body around oneself.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' In practice, this allows one to assume any conceivable form, and thereby transcend the limits of one's flesh.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Yet convenient though it may be, transforming in the presence of others is considered vainglorious in the extreme. As uncouth and unseemly as running about robeless. Shameful.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Am I to understand you make a habit of this?<br /> '''Hermes:''' N-Nothing of the sort. It's just that, when transformed, I can wield the wind and fly.<br /> '''Hermes:''' It may seem excessive, but what is our shame next to the lives of these creatures?<br /> '''Hermes:''' They deserve a chance, and we owe it to them to do all in our power!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Be that as it may...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Hmmm...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Yes, I believe I have a solution. Emet-Selch ─ may I trouble you to move that charybdis away from its fellows? Somewhere out of sight.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Meanwhile, I'd like the rest of you to help me prepare here.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What mischief are you scheming now?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' No mischief, I assure you. I would but spare you the need to report to your colleagues that Hermes committed an indiscretion.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' So have a little faith, and run along.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' (To the troubled observer) I trust you don't mind? <br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Meteion:''' We must help the charybdis to fly. Or else they will all die!<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' Hythlodaeus is a man of ideas. I wonder what he has thought up this time...<br /> <br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' Such bother when we could simply begin anew... But I shall defer to the chief overseer.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus.===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch is out of sight? Good. Let's speak of the plan.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' It's a stroke of genius, really: we have Emet-Selch train the charybdis!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Aside from being able to fly untransformed, he can readily see aether currents.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And with his adept spellcraft, he can also employ suitable wind magicks to guide the creature along.<br /> '''Hermes:''' While he is indeed capable of all you described, it is not his duty. I am loath to trouble him with it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Don't be! As I mentioned, it would also be for his own sake. With that settled, let's begin at once!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' [Forename] ─ I want you to go to Emet-Selch. Tell him that you have a favor to ask.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' He will be disinclined to cooperate at first, but you mustn't be discouraged. With our friend, the trick is to be unflaggingly persistent.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Off you go, now, and good luck!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The rest of us will be right behind you. We wouldn't think to miss the fun!<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' With apologies to Emet-Selch, but this may be the best approach. Let us work together to win him over! <br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' I'll persist too!<br /> <br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' M-Me...? Uh...perhaps it's best if I watched from afar...<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well? Are your preparations for the scheme that is clearly not a scheme complete?<br /> <br /> ===With the chat mode in Say, enter “I have a favor to ask” to Emet-Selch.===<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Oh no you don't! I'm not lifting a finger!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Ugh. I don't know what Hythlodaeus is up to, and I will ''not'' be made to know. I refuse!<br /> <br /> If Hythlodaeus is to be believed, relentless insistence may serve to wear down the ever-weary Emet-Selch...<br /> <br /> ''Optional Dialogue''<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You may tell Hythlodaeus he can contrive another brilliant solution─one that doesn't involve me!<br /> <br /> ===With the chat mode in Say, enter “Please, Emet-Selch” to Emet-Selch. (Cutscene)===<br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' No, no, no, you are not foisting this nonsense on me!<br /> '''Hermes:''' I'm given to understand you have the power to help the charybdis ─ and should be quite willing to do so.<br /> '''Hermes:''' And so I appeal to your better nature, most benevolent Emet-Selch. Please teach it to fly!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Or else Hermes will transform! Right now!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Now, now, there's no need to go quite that far. Altruism is its own reward, as I'm sure he would agree.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Oh would he now? And who contrived to put me in this position, pray tell?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Nothing so devious. I merely suggested a possible course of action.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Please, Emet-Selch! Please!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I did not come all this way to play nursemaid to your creations. I'd thank you to remember this favor...and let it be the last.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I will aid it once it has taken to the air. It falls to you to shepherd it skyward.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Well, let's relax and enjoy the spectacle, shall we?<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' You were wondering why Emet-Selch joined the Convocation.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Truth be told, he wasn't the first choice for the office. I was ─ on the strength of my ability to see aether.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' But I declined the offer. For though my vision is exceptional, I am pedestrian in all other aspects. Worse, even.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Quite abysmal when it comes to manipulating aether, for example. Couldn't transform even if I had a mind to do so.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' What good is the ability to perceive a problem if one cannot act to address it?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch has no such shortcomings. He excels in vision and manipulation both ─ the latter to an extraordinary degree.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If there is a mage more powerful, I do not know of them.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Thus did I recommend him for the office in my stead. And I wasn't the only one. Far from it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Countless others vouched for his skill and character. People the world over, to whom he had previously lent a helping hand.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Oh, how surprised he was. Claimed he hadn't done anything remarkable for anyone. Modest to a fault.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' He deserved every bit of acclaim he received. Yet he may well have gone unappreciated were it not for a mutual friend.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' A singular soul who can't help but involve him/herself in the business of others. Where he/she walks, excitement is certain to follow.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' His/her antics irritate Emet-Selch to no end, but much of his grumbling stems from genuine concern.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' When our friend calls, he never fails to answer and lend his talents.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And in the course of doing so, he himself came to be recognized and respected by those around him.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' They are truly remarkable individuals, and I'm proud to call them friends.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' To help them realize their dreams ─ this will be my greatest contribution to our world.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And when they have fulfilled their respective purposes...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' So too shall I have fulfilled mine, and together we may return to the star.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Look at me, spilling my innermost secrets. I can't seem to help it with you.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I can only assume it is due to the color of your soul. I just don't understand how you can be so alike and yet so different.<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Well done, my pet! Well done!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ah yes, I daresay the charybdis will be fine hereon.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Why don't you go and signal to Emet-Selch. Let him know that his arduous task is at an end.<br /> | Voiced cutscene end |<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hermes:''' It's flying... It's really flying, as if it were born to do so... Thank goodness...<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Look, [Forename]! Look how well the charybdis flies!<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If I didn't know better, I'd say Emet-Selch is enjoying himself. Not that he'd ever deign to admit it.<br /> <br /> ===/wave to Emet-Selch from the edge of the isle. (Cutscene)===<br /> Emerging from his reverie, Emet-Selch notices you, and begins to descend with the charybdis...<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' I have no words to express my gratitude. Thanks to you, the charybdis has learned to fly.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And [Forename] and I could relax and have a pleasant chat.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I'm sure you did.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The creature needed some small assistance at first, but soon it was flying more or less on its own. I doubt you will need to repeat the lesson.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' That was truly impressive!<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' I witnessed it all from afar ─ the charybdis flies!<br /> '''Hermes:''' Indeed. With this, we've proven that even a creature with skewed aetheric balance is capable of flight.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Though we helped it to achieve this, the charybdis is a herd animal. They may well aid their struggling kin in like fashion if and when the need arises.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Keeping this in mind, I bid you continue observing them.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' If that is what you want...<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' But if I may say so, rather than hoping an idealistic possibility comes to pass, would it not be simpler to have the concept adjusted? That way, we could guarantee that anomalies such as this specimen are never born in the first place.<br /> '''Hermes:''' These creatures are already here. We will spare no effort in giving them a chance to survive.<br /> '''Troubled Observer:''' As you wish, Chief. As you wish.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes...<br /> '''Hermes:''' I'm fine. Don't worry.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Well, that concludes all of my present tasks.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Let us return to Anagnorisis for now.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Emet-Selch.===<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...What? Want to apologize for forcing me to help, do you?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Save your breath. You didn't force me to do anything ─ I merely chose the most expeditious way to have done with an impediment to our business.<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Will I have to remove you by force?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; I have important things to say to him as well. <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Yes, I'm sure your business with Hermes is quite pressing. You may speak with him to your heart's content ─ after ours is concluded.<br /> &gt; There are reasons I cannot speak freely. <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Let's hear them, then. These reasons of yours. Who knows─if I deem your mysterious cause worthy, I may even be inclined to offer my assistance.<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' I do not object to his/her attendance.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hermes... This is highly irregular.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Perhaps, but I believe he/she can be trusted. Meteion would not have taken to him/her so quickly otherwise.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Moreover...the presence of a third party may help me to maintain composure.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As you wish, then.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Behave yourself, do you hear?<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' So, it's finally happened, then.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Aye. Fandaniel has declared his intention to step down, and named you as his preferred successor.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' In recognition of your knowledge and your works, the Convocation is giving the recommendation due consideration.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As one who does not know you personally, I am to use my impartial eye to take your measure.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And above all else, to ascertain your disposition towards the invitation.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I understand that you and Fandaniel are close. He himself was once chief overseer of Elpis, after all.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I should not be surprised if you knew before anyone else that he wished to relinquish his office.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I did... He told me that, when he fulfilled his purpose, he wished to pass the torch to me.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' A torch you seem none too pleased to accept. Are you so averse to serving on the Convocation?<br /> '''Hermes:''' No, it's not that...<br /> '''Hermes:''' For a humble researcher like myself to even be considered...is an honor beyond words.<br /> '''Hermes:''' No, what troubles me ─ what I struggle to come to terms with ─ is the very fact that Fandaniel is stepping down.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Does this not mean that he will return to the star?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Of his own volition, yes. Like so many others have before him.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Return to the star? Does that mean...die?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Well now, that's not a word I hear often... Is that what you say here in Elpis?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Mankind is the life of Etheirys. Each of us a drop of blood flowing through its veins, bearing sustenance.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' In our finite time upon it, 'tis our duty to make it a better place, that all who call it home now and in future may abide in happiness.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' To that end, we have dedicated ourselves to the pursuit of enlightened creation. And by our efforts did we transform this once-untamed wilderness into the peaceful paradise you enjoy today.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' To return to the star whence we came is a privilege afforded to we who have so loved and nurtured it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' A choice embraced by those who have lived their lives to the fullest, in service to our world.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And when they depart upon this journey, it is beautiful. Always.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The Fourteen are no exception. 'Tis believed no occasion is more felicitous than the fulfillment of one's duty.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Our office becomes our lives, and to retire is to return. Or so the majority of us hold. Some few have elected to eschew custom.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Mayhap you feel Fandaniel's deeds do not warrant his return.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Yet you should know his accomplishments as well as any. During his time, he conceived of countless outstanding concepts.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And channeling the wealth of experience he attained here in Elpis, he brought forth many new specimens.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I know of all this, I do...<br /> '''Hermes:''' It's just...I cannot fathom why someone so great and wise, who could still do so much good, would want to end it all...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Oh no, I've made her upset...<br /> '''Hermes:''' Forgive me ─ I know I requested your presence. Might I trouble you to take Meteion outside? A change of scenery would do her good.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Don't mind us, my friend. Please tend to Meteion.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Most would jump at the chance to serve in the Convocation. And yet...<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' Forgive me. I will make it up to you, I promise.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Meteion.===<br /> '''Meteion:''' I'm sorry, [Forename]... I didn't want─ Didn't mean─ &lt;sigh&gt;<br /> '''Meteion:''' ...A walk. Perhaps we can go for a walk?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Meteion and have her accompany you.===<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes gets sad. When he thinks about death.<br /> '''Meteion:''' When others are sad, I'm sad too. That's how I am. How he made me.<br /> '''Meteion:''' But don't worry. I'm fine now.<br /> '''Meteion:''' So...why did you come here?<br /> '''Meteion:''' You want to learn about Elpis and Hermes? Ooh, ooh, teach you! I can teach you!<br /> '''Meteion:''' We could take turns! I tell you something...then you tell me something!<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Sounds like fun!<br /> '''Meteion:''' It will be! It will be!<br /> &gt; Sure, why not. <br /> '''Meteion:''' Then it's settled!<br /> &gt; Sounds like a bother... <br /> '''Meteion:''' Awww... I won't be a bother. So please, [Forename]. Please!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hehe, you won't regret it! I'll teach you lots and lots of things!<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Um, where to start... Ah, yes! Let's talk to Memnon. He should be near the aetheryte.<br /> '''Meteion:''' I'm not good at explaining, but Memnon is. So I'll have him explain instead.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Meteion:''' Let's go and talk to Memnon. He should be near the aetheryte.<br /> <br /> '''Conversation Point:''' ''In front of Anagnorisis aetheryte'' (X:24.7, Y:23.7)<br /> &gt; Discuss the aetheryte<br /> '''Meteion:''' Ah, the aetheryte. Anyone can use it to teleport anywhere!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Well, maybe not anywhere. Not to the ground or other isles.<br /> '''Meteion:''' For that, you need teleporters. Oh, and permission!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Memnon while accompanied by Meteion.===<br /> '''Memnon:''' And what have we here...?<br /> <br /> ''If player character is Miqo'te:''<br /> '''Memnon:''' Though you look like a person, you have the ears of a beast... I assume you are a familiar like Meteion. Is there something you need?<br /> ''If player character is Hrothgar:''<br /> '''Memnon:''' Though you look like a person, you have the features of a beast... I assume you are a familiar like Meteion. Is there something you need?<br /> ''If player character is Au Ra:''<br /> '''Memnon:''' Though you look like a person, you have the horns and scales of a beast... I assume you are a familiar like Meteion. Is there something you need?<br /> ''If player character is Lalafell:''<br /> '''Memnon:''' Though you look like a person, you could as easily pass for a toy... I assume you are a familiar like Meteion. Is there something you need?<br /> ''If player character is Roegadyn:''<br /> '''Memnon:''' Though you look like a person, you have a remarkably large and robust physique... I assume you are a familiar like Meteion. Is there something you need?<br /> ''If player character us Hyur:''<br /> '''Memnon:''' Though you look like a person, your aether is quite thin... I assume you are a familiar like Meteion. Is there something you need?<br /> '''Meteion:''' This is [Forename]. Could you teach him/her about Elpis?<br /> '''Memnon:''' Ah, a newly arrived familiar, is he/she? Very well, I should be glad to introduce our fair facility to him/her.<br /> '''Memnon:''' As you know, it is mankind's duty to make the star a better place. As part of this duty, we employ creation magicks to bring forth new life.<br /> '''Memnon:''' However, we cannot simply release our works into the world, for it would lead to chaos.<br /> '''Memnon:''' No, any and all life-forms must undergo extensive testing to determine their fitness to exist. Testing which is conducted here in Elpis.<br /> '''Memnon:''' Every candidate is subjected to rigorous study, in which we identify their properties, surmise what habitats might be suitable, and speculate as to the effects they may have on the environment and other species.<br /> '''Memnon:''' Should it be judged a beneficial addition to the star, it will be allowed to take its place in the world.<br /> '''Memnon:''' The two of you, too, were created with the hope of making the star a better place. So heed your masters well and be good, do you hear?<br /> '''Meteion:''' We will, Memnon, we will. Thanks for the lesson!<br /> '''Meteion:''' You had a turn. Now I get a turn!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Where did you come from?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; From a place far, far away.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hmmm, then I probably don't know it. I don't know much about other places.<br /> &gt; From a place facing a great threat. <br /> '''Meteion:''' Th-There's such a place? I had no idea...<br /> &gt; From the Crystarium... I guess?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Crys...tarium? I've never heard of it.<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' But this place is important to you. I can feel it.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Oh, my power! I haven't told you about it.<br /> '''Meteion:''' A creation. Let's find a creation. One not being watched. Then I'll explain my power!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Meteion:''' Let's find a creation. One not being watched. Then I'll explain my power!<br /> <br /> '''Memnon:''' The desire to learn is a good thing. I wish you well in your endeavors, my dear familiar.<br /> <br /> '''Conversation Point:''' ''In front of Eukleides'' (X:25.1, Y:25.2)<br /> &gt; Discuss the spriggans. <br /> '''Meteion:''' ...Spriggans? What are spriggans?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Oh no, we call them oreiai. If there's many. If it's just one, we say oreias!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Though they're cute, they can be naughty.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Sometimes, they run off with concept crystals. And Hermes has to run after them!<br /> <br /> '''Eukleides:''' There is never a dull moment with the oreiai. Their fondness of minerals makes them highly unique, and I daresay they will be no less popular!<br /> <br /> ===Search for idle creations while accompanied by Meteion.===<br /> '''Meteion:''' Oh! This creation is perfect!<br /> '''Meteion:''' But...I don't remember seeing it before. Perhaps it's new?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Anyway, I'll try reading its mind. That's my power!<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Hmmm... I can't read it. Or maybe...there's nothing to read?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Wait... Please, wait... I'll try again. With you this time...<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Greetings! Can you hear me?''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''This is my power. I can read the emotions of those around me, and project my emotions to others in return.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''I am not actually speaking to you in your mind. Rather, you are converting my emotions into words and intention ─ a process performed subconsciously by intelligent life-forms.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''This ability is vital to my mission, for it allows me to interact with intelligent beings even should they communicate via unknown languages or other nonverbal means.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''As a consequence, I am clumsy at speaking...''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Yet though I struggle to express myself in this fashion, Hermes wants me to speak as much as possible, for everyone has thoughts and feelings that they may wish to hide...''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''I harbor an affection for you. One that is difficult to define.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Aside from the fact that you share common traits with us, your thoughts are complex. Prismatic. They draw me in, and leave me wanting to know more.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' ''Out of respect for your privacy, I will refrain from using my power when speaking with you. Nevertheless, I want you to know that I wish to be your friend.''<br /> '''Meteion:''' Did you...hear me?<br /> '''Meteion:''' Heh heh, good! Now it's my turn again! So...what are you good at?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Fighting.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Ooh, fighting! That must mean you're strong!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes is strong too. But he doesn't like to fight. Even when creations fight him.<br /> &gt; Crafting.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Oh, not creating...but crafting? Putting things together with your hands...<br /> '''Meteion:''' That sounds like fun! I can't use creation magicks. But maybe I can learn to craft!<br /> &gt; Gathering. <br /> '''Meteion:''' Ooh, gathering! I like gathering too!<br /> '''Meteion:''' What do you gather? Where do you go? How do you get there? Do you fly too!?<br /> &gt; Playing.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Playing? I'm still not sure what that means...<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes says, “Let's play.” But then he goes for a walk. Or looks at creations. It's fun, but no different from work.<br /> &gt; It's a secret!<br /> '''Meteion:''' Ooh, a secret! That's something you want to hide! Just leave it to me...<br /> '''Meteion:''' There! I've blocked it out. I can't block everything—not strong feelings. But that wasn't too strong.<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' I-I think we might be bothering it...<br /> '''Meteion:''' Let's keep going. We'll go and see Euanthe next. She's usually in a small building. One on the west row.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Motionless Bird:''' ...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Euanthe while accompanied by Meteion.===<br /> '''Euanthe:''' Well, well, if it isn't Meteion. I see you've brought a friend today.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Greetings, Euanthe! Um, an apple. Could you make me an apple?<br /> '''Meteion:''' The kind Hermes likes. Covered in syrup. I want to share it with [Forename]!<br /> '''Euanthe:''' Oh, candied apple? Hermes is certainly partial to them, but you know you can't eat, Meteion. You weren't made to do so.<br /> '''Meteion:''' B-But I like it too...<br /> '''Euanthe:''' It may seem that way, but it's due to your ability to share others' feelings. You've taken Hermes's likes for your own.<br /> '''Euanthe:''' In any case, I can't prepare an apple right now, but I'll bring one for Hermes soon. I promise.<br /> '''Meteion:''' I'm sorry, [Forename]... I wanted to show you my favorite thing. Then I could ask about yours. But I failed...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Tell her what you like.<br /> '''Meteion:''' Ooh, that's what you like? Yes... Yes, I can feel it! Your joy and happiness!<br /> '''Meteion:''' And it makes me happy too! Thanks for sharing it with me, [Forename]!<br /> &gt; Say nothing. <br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Well, we've walked and talked a lot. Maybe Hermes has finished talking too. Shall we go and see?<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> <br /> '''Euanthe:''' Between you and me, Hermes's eating habits are atrocious. We may not be reliant upon food to the extent that our smaller creations are, but our diets eventually catch up with us.<br /> '''Euanthe:''' If we don't consume the requisite balance of nutrients, we grow weak and lethargic. Yet Hermes consumes candied apples as if they were a staple...<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' I hope Hermes isn't sad anymore...<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ah, excellent timing. 'Twas a refreshing constitutional, I hope?<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What, back already? Pity. A bit longer and we might have snuck away without you...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hermes while accompanied by Meteion. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Hermes:''' There you are. I can see the fresh air has done Meteion good.<br /> '''Meteion:''' [Forename] wanted to learn about you and Elpis. So I taught him/her!<br /> '''Meteion:''' About this place. About my power. About your favorite food!<br /> '''Hermes:''' I'm not sure if that last one will be of any use...<br /> '''Hermes:''' But I do appreciate your keeping Meteion company. While you were away, I finished speaking with our guests.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Finished? Hardly. You requested time to consider the invitation, so we have no choice but to occupy ourselves with an inspection of your work.<br /> '''Hermes:''' My apologies...<br /> '''Hermes:''' It has been decided that Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus will accompany me as I tend to my duties.<br /> '''Hermes:''' If you wish to learn more, perhaps you would like to come too?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I'm compelled to remind you that he/she is in no way associated with the Convocation. We simply chanced to meet at Propylaion.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' There is no guarantee that the matters we discuss will remain private.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I do not mind. To see the joy his/her presence brings Meteion, I cannot imagine our mysterious friend harbors malicious intent.<br /> '''Meteion:''' [Forename] is kind. Really, truly! He/she taught me as much as I taught him/her!<br /> '''Meteion:''' You're coming, of course? To watch Hermes? You're bound to learn lots and lots!<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

As the man's focus of late has been aquatic creatures, he is like to be found at one of the pools at the facility, and so you split up to look for him.<br /> <br /> *Making your way around the picturesque gardens of Anagnorisis, you finally come upon a man who fits Hermes's description. At his side is a peculiar blue-haired girl with avian features, who takes an immediate interest in you. Though she seems to struggle with her words, to your surprise, she can speak fluently and directly to you in your mind, and expresses her desire to be friends. When your companions join you shortly thereafter, Hermes introduces the girl as Meteion, a pet project. Upon learning that Emet-Selch has official matters to discuss, he bids you wait at the main building while he tends to the ambystomas under his care, but notices with a start that one is missing. Apparently, the creature has found its way into the boughs of a tree outside the facility's grounds, and Hermes rushes to its aid with Meteion on his heels. While Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus watch over its fellows, you are tasked with assisting Hermes.<br /> <br /> *The ambystoma has been delivered safely to the ground, but in its former place you find Hermes, suspended upside down from a branch. After extricating himself from his predicament, he thanks you for coming to his aid, and bids you welcome to Elpis. And thus, after a long journey through time and space, do you strike up an acquaintance with the man who will become Fandaniel. By learning more about him, you hope that you will find the key to the star's salvation...<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' As dubious as it is, passing you off as Azem's familiar is probably the best approach. Should he/she take offense that others so readily believe his/her recklessness is to blame, he/she is welcome to mend his/her ways.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' ...Pass as a child in your original size? I think not. Augmented or no, your aether is still far too thin to be considered normal.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If you are ready, let us continue along the path to Anagnorisis.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The place serves as an observation hub and residence both.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Someone there should be able to point us in the direction of Hermes.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I was wondering what she was examining, but it seems to be the bush itself...<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Let's see if this observer knows Hermes's whereabouts.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Anagnorisis observer. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Anagnorisis Observer:''' Yes? Can I help you?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' We wish to speak with Chief Hermes. Do you know where we might find him?<br /> '''Anagnorisis Observer:''' Well, now... By your mask, I assume you are one of the Fourteen. I wasn't aware there was to be a visitation...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Between you and us, it's something of a surprise. Your discretion in the matter would be appreciated.<br /> '''Anagnorisis Observer:''' I see, I see. My lips are sealed!<br /> '''Anagnorisis Observer:''' The chief should be out conducting observations as usual. His focus of late has been aquatic creatures, so I expect you will find him at one of the pools here.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The pools, you say? Many thanks, and apologies for disrupting your work.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I say, Hythlodaeus... While I've never met Hermes, you know him well, do you not?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' That being the case, couldn't you simply find him by his aether?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Aye, that I could...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' As you know, Emet-Selch and I can discern the color of souls.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' By the same token, we can also see aether quite keenly, and from great distances.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' With this skill, I could readily locate Hermes, but I felt that it would be a waste of an opportunity.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' We're here to perform an assessment, after all. By searching the ordinary way, we stand to gain insight into Elpis and the man in charge of it.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' This is as much for your own enjoyment, like as not. But point taken.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' If you're going to accompany us, make yourself useful and help us look for Hermes.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' According to his profile, he has short, dark hair.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' So you know, it's because we're in Elpis that we don't have our cowls up. A special exemption due to the need to be aware of dangerous creatures.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Elsewhere, we do not exhibit our individuality. It's unseemly. This is all common sense, but I would not assume you possess any.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Heh heh! It's a rare treat indeed to be able to search for someone by their appearance, and I thank you for humoring me.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Come, let's find our man!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Anagnorisis Observer:''' Still looking for the chief? He should be out observing somewhere, likely at one of the pools.<br /> <br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' Heh heh! They have such funny faces!<br /> <br /> ===Search for Hermes. (Cutscene)===<br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Hermes:''' You are...?<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' Different! You're different too!<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' You and me. We're alike. Friends. I want to be─<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' Wait... Please...wait...<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' ''Greetings and salutations! Can you hear me?''<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' ''Do not be alarmed─I mean you no harm. I wish only to hear your words, share your feelings, and know your thoughts.''<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' ''May we please be friends?''<br /> '''Bewinged Girl:''' May we please...be friends!<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ah, I see you found him.<br /> '''Hermes:''' Hythlodaeus... It's been a while. Too long, I think.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Too long indeed for close collaborators. On this blessed occasion, I bring not only myself, but others who long to speak with you.<br /> '''Hermes:''' You are of the Convocation.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Emet-Selch, at your service. Do I have the honor of addressing Hermes, chief overseer of Elpis?<br /> '''Hermes:''' You do. You have traveled far for it.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Given your facility's purpose, its remote location is something of a necessity. Would that I didn't have to rely upon a guide...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' You wound me. Have I not ever been an attentive and helpful friend?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' But moving along to more agreeable company, this one we chanced to...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' ...Well, you certainly have her attention. Is she one of yours, Hermes?<br /> '''Hermes:''' Her name is Meteion. It means shooting star.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If I may make an observation, her aether is terribly thin. I fear she might dissipate at any moment.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Nor do I believe you've made a submission to the bureau. I would remember such a concept if you had.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I haven't, as you say. I judged it too early. She's a pet project of mine ─ still undergoing preliminary testing.<br /> '''Hermes:''' But rest assured that I will attend in person ere long.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Very well. Being an authority on flying life-forms, I appreciate that you are exacting in your work.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' I shall look forward to your submission.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' If we have finished with the perfunctory chitchat, I would discuss official matters.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' By my coming, I trust you already anticipate the subject.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I have an inkling, yes. Please wait at the main building yonder.<br /> '''Hermes:''' I shall join you as soon as I've returned these creatures to their homes.<br /> '''Meteion:''' What's wrong, Hermes?<br /> '''Hermes:''' An ambystoma is missing...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Hm, I may have found it. A creature with the selfsame aether as those there, nestled in the boughs of a tree outside the grounds.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You're saying they can climb? With their sorry excuses for limbs?<br /> '''Hermes:''' The “fashion” has been to imbue aquatic creatures with the power of flight, ever since the Words of Mitron created a sky-swimming fish...<br /> '''Hermes:''' The ambystomas too can fly, if only slightly, and they could conceivably climb a tree. Whether they can come down safely, however... Excuse me.<br /> '''Meteion:''' I'll help too!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And what are we supposed to do with this lot?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' May I suggest we split up?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If you would be so good as to assist Hermes, Emet-Selch and I shall keep an eye on these adorable creations in the meantime.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The ambystoma was submitted to the bureau not long ago, and I'm pleased to see it has found its way here.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' We'll make sure these little ones don't wander off like their adventurous fellow. Go on and lend Hermes a hand.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The tenet of the Words of Mitron is to create aquatic life both unique and beneficial. ''Aquatic''.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What would possess them to put this creature in the sky? And is it even aquatic to begin with...?<br /> <br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes! Are you...all right?<br /> <br /> ===Search for the adventurous ambystoma. (Cutscene)===<br /> It seems Hermes and Meteion have found their quarry, a creature known in this age as an ambystoma.<br /> Yet though it has been safely extricated from the tree, Hermes appears to have found himself in quite the predicament...<br /> '''Meteion:''' The ambystoma. Hermes saw it high up the tree.<br /> '''Meteion:''' He climbed up to get it. But it jumped on him, and he slipped...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Do you need a hand? <br /> '''Hermes:''' &lt;grunt&gt; No, no, I'm fine, if a little embarrassed...<br /> &gt; Everything is under control, I trust?<br /> '''Hermes:''' &lt;grunt&gt; Yes, rest assured this is nothing new to me. I've ended up in far more compromising positions in the course of my work.<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' Now, for your own safety, please stand back...<br /> <br /> '''Hermes:''' Ugh...<br /> '''Meteion:''' Hermes! Are you all right?<br /> '''Hermes:''' Quite all right, yes...

Aside from overseeing the facility, he also conducts his own research.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Chances are he will be at the main observation hub, so let us seek him out there first.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Attired as you are, however, you stand out a little too much. Our dear Emet-Selch wishes to keep a low profile for his errand, so...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Do you know how to make a robe? The basic concept will do.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' No? In that case, Emet-Selch─<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' No. Your whim, your responsibility. You're getting not another thimble of aether out of me.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' &lt;sigh&gt; The way he scrimps sometimes, you'd think he ''wasn't'' a nigh-bottomless font of magic...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Very well, I shall make the robe, but perhaps you can assist. Come, let us search for the requisite material.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' No means no. Just be grateful I'm even willing to wait.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus.===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Yes, these creatures should suffice.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' An aetheric rope. I want you to use it to capture, shall we say, two petaloudai.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' There are three species here, I believe. Any two different kinds should serve.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Now, I should mention that the strength of the rope is tied ─ no pun intended ─ to the strength of its user.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' As your aether is still thin compared to ours, you'll need to weaken the petaloudai first. Good luck!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Remember, it's a pair of petaloudai we require. Any two different kinds should serve.<br /> <br /> ===Deliver the petaloudai to Hythlodaeus. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' You've caught the petaloudai? Come, come, let us see.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Yes, these fine fellows will do nicely. And now for a spot of reversion...<br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' ...There! It's ready!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' It's nothing fancy, but then we're trying ''not'' to stand out. Try it on for size.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; You turn living beings into clothing? Just like that?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Well, not just like that. You need to revert them to their constituent aether first.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Lest you wonder why I asked for two species, it is due to the difference in their aetheric balance. Blending them allows us to produce garb with superior aetheric stability.<br /> &gt; Won't someone be angry with us for using those creatures? <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Oh, it's fine, there's no one around to tell us off. And besides, we can always make more petaloudai. They need only a tiny amount of aether.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' It may take some effort to get the form and composition right, but anyone familiar with the concept should be able to manage.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well and good to disguise ''and'' educate it, but it won't fool anyone who can see worth a damn.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Fair point, but at the very least it should spare you unwanted attention from casual observers.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch speaks true. Even dressed like us, your unusual nature will be plain to those who think to look.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Should someone question your presence, don't make up excuses, much less try to explain what you actually are. No, best to simply say that you're a familiar.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' The question is ''whose''...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Ah, of course ─ Azem's. If you say you belong to him/her, people will give you the benefit of the doubt for any and all outlandish behavior.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Exploiting our associate's absence?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' For lack of his/her presence, absolutely. Were he/she here, he/she'd have been the first to propose the idea ─ and you know it.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' With that, your story is settled. Let us continue with our errand!<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

To that end do you seek out the Crystarium gatekeep, who should admit you to the Ocular as before.<br /> <br /> *Inside the Umbilicus, you use your borrowed spirit vessel to activate the Allagan console, which locates Elidibus's imprisoned essence and projects his image into the chamber. Though your erstwhile foe declares that the star is now yours to fight for, bound as ever by duty, he agrees to share his knowledge. To your surprise, it was none other than Fandaniel who shed light upon the phenomenon of the Final Days, and thence dedicated himself to devising a countermeasure. Prior to joining the Convocation, he served as the chief of Elpis─a facility for the evaluation of creations─and was known as Hermes. Perhaps inspired by an impossible memory of you in that ancient time and place, Elidibus suggests that you travel to Elpis in the past. At his instruction, you open a pathway to your destination, and step into the portal. The magick consumes Elidibus's essence once and for all, and he goes to join his beloved brethren as you journey to your distant destination in search of salvation.<br /> <br /> *After hurtling through the rift, you safely arrive in what you assume is the past, albeit in a transparent form. Setting aside that problem for now, you begin exploring your surrounds.<br /> <br /> *As Elidibus had forewarned, you are unable to interact with the people present. From snatches of their conversation, however, you establish that you are indeed in the past, more specifically in a facility called Propylaion. Having learned all you can here, you decide to continue your exploration outside, and make your way to the exit.<br /> <br /> *As you try to open the door, the inconceivable happens: two new arrivals emerge from the teleportation device, and who should they turn out to be but Hythlodaeus and Emet-Selch. Due to their talent for seeing souls, they readily catch sight of you, and at his companion's insistence, Emet-Selch augments your aether and adjusts your size. Now proportional to your surrounds and able to be heard, you inform your new old friends of your desire to seek out Hermes, and they are taken aback to learn that your purpose is the same as theirs. Hythlodaeus offers to serve as your guide, and together you head outside.<br /> <br /> *Stepping through the door, your breath catches in your throat as you take in the impossibly beautiful scenery of the testing ground of creation at heavens' edge: Elpis.<br /> <br /> *Hythlodaeus explains that Elpis is where living beings and certain arcane entities are brought for in-depth observation and research. Thus your search for answers in the past begins, but to what manner of future the path may lead, none can yet say...<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Ryne:''' You're headed to the Umbilicus to consult with Elidibus, right?<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'll do some consulting of my own and speak with Lyna. Decide how we might best prepare for the Final Days.<br /> '''Ryne:''' So it's farewell for now, but we'll see each other again. I'm certain of it.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Ryne:''' We lived through the Flood and the tyranny of the Lightwardens. We're survivors. Do what you need to do, and know that we will too.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Crystarium gatekeep. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Ah, [Master/Mistress] [Forename], welcome back!<br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' The captain has told me all. Give the word, and I will show you to the Ocular.<br /> <br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Allagan Console:''' Biometric authentication complete. Please state your business.<br /> '''Allagan Console:''' Acknowledged. Reinitializing Syrcus Tower systems. Searching for “Elidibus” entity...<br /> '''Allagan Console:''' Target located in subterranean core power accumulator. Projecting image.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' My home... My friends... No more than a dream...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' You... Why have you awakened me?<br /> '''Elidibus:''' I no longer sense those places beyond...or Lord Zodiark. You must explain all.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' So. He is fallen, and my brethren's souls returned to the star...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' The doom we sacrificed so much to prevent is come again. Old burdens, now yours to bear.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' But...if this is Fandaniel's design, then I, as Elidibus, have a duty to fulfill.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Your unsolicited act has restored to me some few memories of the Convocation.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Such knowledge as I have, I will share.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Thank you.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' I do this not for you. I merely perform my duty, as I have ever done.<br /> &gt; I'm sorry...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Why apologize for receiving a favor of the defeated? If it sits ill, consider it payment for freeing Lord Zodiark from servitude.<br /> <br /> '''Elidibus:''' Where to begin... Ah. The end. Your understanding of what caused the Final Days is consistent with our own.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' The decay first took root where the currents were weakest. Yes...a conclusion drawn by him. Fandaniel.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Not the him of here and now, but as I knew him. Long, long ago...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Having shed light upon the phenomenon, he dedicated himself to devising a countermeasure.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Were it not for his knowledge of the celestial, we would never have made the connection ─ and thence forestalled the Final Days.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' And though he inherited that noble soul...how different, this last incarnation. So consumed by self-loathing and hate.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' ...Elpis? Yes...the name is familiar to me.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Yet I know it not as a flower, but a place.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' A testing facility for determining which of our creations were fit to be released into the world.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Many worked there. And before joining the Convocation and assuming the title of Fandaniel, he was their chief...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' He...was Hermes...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' That...is all I know.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' The crystals tell little of the lives the Fourteen led prior to their induction.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Elpis itself would tell even less. Nary a ruin has survived─<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Wait... I saw you there. In Elpis.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' No...I did not...but I did. I did. A lingering trace of impossibility...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' And a truth...that fills my heart...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' My memories remain clouded, I fear. However...they have revealed to me one possible course.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' You must travel to Elpis ─ to the time when Hermes served as its chief.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' In glimpsing the Exarch's memories, not only did I make his summoning magick mine own ─ I also mastered the workings of this tower.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Which, having absorbed my empowered essence, now harbors an abundance of energy.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' As such, I believe I can deliver you unto the past. Unto that place and that precise moment.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Given the eons that must be traversed, the gateway will not be fully formed.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Your form will be less tangible still than those Warriors of Light I had summoned.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' In all likelihood, none will be able to see or hear you.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Yet even should you manage to interact with others, you will be unable to effect meaningful change.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' For the reality you wish to save ─ the reality to which you must return ─ exists as a result of the Final Days.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' You cannot reshape the past to undo the tragedies of the present. Cannot unmake the sorrow and suffering fated to come.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' In full knowledge of this, will you still entrust your life to your foe and make the journey?<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Very well. I shall cast you unto the river of time. Let this be my final act.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' You must input the commands. I no longer have the authority.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' First, you must reconfigure the systems, that the tower's aether may be channeled for the magick...<br /> <br /> '''Elidibus:''' The preparations are complete. The gateway will soon open. Return at once to the Ocular.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' All appears to be in order. The aether flows unimpeded.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' The magick should consume every last mote of my essence.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Why are you surprised? Did I not say that this will be my final act?<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Lord Zodiark is no more. There is nothing for me here.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' The ones I love and long to see again are waiting. In that promised land, beyond memory and dream...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Now go, Warrior of Light. Go...and do not look back.<br /> <br /> (Elidibus's narration)<br /> Well, Hydaelyn. I take my leave of You. Yours is the mantle of the last of us.<br /> May You have...the joy of it. The burden...and the solitude.<br /> It falls to You now ─ You and Your champion ─ to save our star.<br /> | Voiced cutscene end |<br /> <br /> ===Explore the facility.===<br /> &gt; Interact with the black-robed man<br /> The remarkably large man wears a black robe and a half mask ─ much like the phantoms you encountered in Mare Lamentorum and the recreated Amaurot...<br /> It would seem you have made it to your destination.<br /> You gesticulate wildly and shout all manner of greetings and obscenities, but the man does not so much as glance in your general direction...<br /> <br /> &gt; Interact with the Aetheryte-like device<br /> The device is reminiscent of an aetheryte. Perhaps it is possible to attune with it...<br /> Despite attempting to channel and focus your energies, you fail to attune with the device. You can only assume it operates differently.<br /> <br /> &gt; Interact with the guide-like man<br /> The man stands dutifully by the aetheryte-like device. A guide for this facility, in all likelihood.<br /> You attempt to get the man's attention, but if he sees or hears you, he gives absolutely no indication.<br /> As Elidibus warned, it appears your form is intangible...<br /> <br /> &gt; Interact with the conversing woman<br /> '''Conversing Woman:''' This ''is'' the right place, yes? Propylaion?<br /> Judging by the woman's words, this facility is called “Propylaion.”<br /> You attempt to gently prod the woman to attract her attention, but feel nothing ─ and it seems neither does she.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''Conversing Woman:''' Very well, let's wait a while.<br /> <br /> ===Examine the door. (Cutscene)===<br /> You suspect this door leads outside. But how to open it...?<br /> <br /> | Voiced cutscene |<br /> '''???:''' And here we are. Elpis.<br /> '''Propylaion Guide:''' Well, well, how rare to receive you in person. To what do we owe the honor?<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Oh, just a few odd tasks. We'll be here a while.<br /> '''Propylaion Guide:''' You're welcome to stay as long as you see fit, of course. As a matter of procedure, however, I must ask that you kindly remove your masks.<br /> '''Familiar Voice:''' Come now, is this truly necessary? Surely you can tell who we are...<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Who you are, perhaps, but I am far less infamous. Regardless, if we do not follow protocol, 'tis our hosts who would be held accountable. So please, do favor us with your handsome face.<br /> <br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' ...Satisfied?<br /> '''Propylaion Guide:''' I thank you for your cooperation. You are free to go about your business.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' By the by...you see it too, yes?<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' I haven't the foggiest what you're talking about.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Hmm? That's odd.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' It's right here. A bit thin in the aether, but there's no mistaking it ─ the color of its soul is almost identical to Azem's.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Do you suppose he/she created it? Rather unusual for a familiar to have a soul, though...<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' Don't ask me. All I know is that it's trouble ─ doubly so if it's his/her spitting image.<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' So let's leave it be. Come, now.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' It's trying to say something...but it's literally too intangible to form words.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Why don't you give it some aether? Spare a snifter of your bounteous reserves.<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' Who do you take me for?<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Why, a dear friend, of course! One who wouldn't let acts of kindness ─ such as my accompanying him on errands to far-flung outposts ─ go unrewarded.<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' I suggest you close your eyes, or this may be...unpleasant.<br /> <br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' You may open your eyes.<br /> ''If player character is Lalafell:''<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Still a touch small, don't you think?<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' The size befits its proportions. Besides, bigger is not necessarily better.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' I will defer to your experience.<br /> ''If player character is Roegadyn:''<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Quite large, don't you think?<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' The size befits its proportions. Though I personally wouldn't be averse to smaller.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger''': No, no, this will suffice, I'm sure.<br /> ''All other races:''<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' Oh, you even adjusted its size.<br /> '''Man with a Familiar Voice:''' The better to indulge your whim. This way it will be easier to communicate.<br /> '''Familiar Stranger:''' How very thoughtful of you. And may I applaud your artful reinforcement.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Without further ado, then... Greetings! I am Hythlodaeus, chief of the Bureau of the Architect.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Sulking beside me is the most honorable Emet-Selch of the Convocation of Fourteen.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And how might we address you, my new friend?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' A fine name. And I'm pleased to see you understand our words.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' So tell us, whence have you come? The thinness of your essence suggests you weren't created here...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' You do not know...or cannot say? Hmm. Allow me to ask a different question, then.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' What brings you here?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; I seek a man named Hermes. <br /> &gt; I want to learn about Elpis. <br /> <br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Well now, the same as us...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Perhaps Azem wished to come too, but had to settle for a familiar.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' If he/she truly wished to be here, then he/she would be.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Right you are...<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' My apologies if we've given offense. The two of us can discern the color of souls, you see, and yours happens to resemble that of a friend.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And with your purpose matching our own besides, we jumped to a hasty conclusion.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' We are here to speak with Hermes, the chief overseer of this facility, which we also intend to tour in order to gain greater insight into the man's work.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' “We,” I say, though this is Emet-Selch's charge. I am here only to serve as his guide.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' And I should be happy to serve as yours as well ─ by way of an apology for the misunderstanding.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Wait, are you suggesting that we bring it along on official business? This thing we know next to nothing about?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' If you harbor suspicions, better to keep it close than leave it to its own devices, wouldn't you agree?<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Besides, having a mysterious life-form in tow is the norm rather than the exception here.<br /> <br /> '''???:''' This presence...<br /> '''???:''' Hermes! Visitors ─ we have visitors!<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What secrets are you hiding, I wonder...<br /> | Voiced cutscene end |<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' In case you didn't know, it's rude to stare. Stop.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hythlodaeus.===<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' This is hardly my first time here, but the scenery never fails to take my breath away. Why, it feels as if you could reach out and touch the heavens!<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Now then, to begin our guided tour... Perhaps you already know these things, but for the sake of thoroughness, I shall start with the basics.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Using concepts to give shape to aether, creation magicks allow us to bring forth anything we desire, be it inanimate objects or living beings.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Anyone may conceive of concepts, but they must all undergo evaluation at the Bureau of the Architect.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' As part of that process, living beings and certain arcane entities may be sent here to Elpis for in-depth observation and study.<br /> '''Hythlodaeus:''' Heh heh, a fascinating facility, isn't it? I daresay you will enjoy touring it with us.<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

You and the others...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; As well as can be.<br /> &gt; We've no shortage of troubles, but we're well enough. <br /> <br /> '''Lyna:''' Then things are much the same for you as they were here. My lord is doubtless enjoying himself.<br /> '''Lyna:''' He...he said this to you? These exact words?<br /> '''Lyna:''' Oh, to know that he is happy... It fills my heart with joy.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Thank you, [Forename]. For taking care of him.<br /> '''Lyna:''' When next you see him, please tell him not to overexert himself. Futile a request though it is.<br /> '''Lyna:''' And tell him that all is well here.<br /> '''Lyna:''' The peace you gifted us continues, and we work hard to build new lives for ourselves.<br /> '''Lyna:''' In the course of this we occasionally bicker, but we've never been more optimistic for the morrow.<br /> '''Lyna:''' If I had to mention one dilemma, it would be the question of our governance. Even as we speak, debate rages on over how we should run the city in the Exarch's absence.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Most are of a mind that the Settlement council should continue to oversee the general running of the Crystarium, while representatives are elected to determine policy and handle diplomacy.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Thus far nothing is set in stone, but however we choose to proceed, we will not replace our lord. No one could.<br /> '''Lyna:''' ...Have we recently observed any unusual phenomena?<br /> '''Lyna:''' No, I cannot say there have been. Curious that you should ask me this question, though...<br /> '''Lyna:''' Some days ago, Ryne came and asked the very same. She was rather unsettled ─ in stark contrast to how cheerful she has been of late.<br /> '''Lyna:''' She and other Crystarium youths just hosted a festival, you see.<br /> '''Lyna:''' It proved so popular that there are already plans for another celebration ─ one much bigger than the first.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Between her preparations for the festival and the restoration of the Empty, she struck me as happy and full of life.<br /> '''Lyna:''' So when I saw her in a state of such worry, I couldn't help but feel worried in turn. Especially since she wouldn't tell me what troubled her.<br /> '''Lyna:''' I daresay she would be more willing to confide in you. May I ask you to broach the subject with her?<br /> '''Lyna:''' You wish to enter the Umbilicus? Very well. I shall fetch the key at once ─ and take the opportunity to find Ryne.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Please wait for me in the city, in front of the Cabinet of Curiosity, shall we say. I will be along as soon as I can.<br /> <br /> ===Wait for Lyna in front of the Cabinet of Curiosity.===<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> '''???:''' ...Do my old eyes deceive? Is that truly [Forename]?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Hah, it is! Full glad am I to see you hale and whole, my friend!<br /> '''Moren:''' What a wonderful surprise it is to have you back with us ─ and at this most opportune time!<br /> '''Moren:''' In case you haven't heard, we are planning to produce a tome chronicling events from the Flood to the night's return.<br /> '''Moren:''' For this project, we intend to draw upon records kept by the world's peoples.<br /> '''Moren:''' Historical and contemporary firsthand accounts will be the centerpiece of the tome, but yours would be the one to crown them all!<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I've been asked to contribute a chapter on the soul ─ a subject that is key to understanding much of your endeavors.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' In the course of developing the spirit vessel, I gained valuable insights into travel beyond the rift. Knowledge that will allow me to attest to your existence and deeds!<br /> '''Moren:''' There is no end to the questions I would ask you, but if you could indulge me just one for now...<br /> '''Moren:''' In your quest to restore the night, you faced many a formidable foe.<br /> '''Moren:''' Among them, who offered you the greatest struggle?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Titania, driven mad by Light and loneliness.<br /> '''Moren:''' Ah yes, Titania, the fallen faerie king. Against such a fiendishly playful opponent, I can well imagine that even the Warrior of Darkness must have struggled.<br /> '''Moren:''' But you succeeded in setting them free, and your victory proved a pivotal moment in your quest. We will see that it features prominently in the tome!<br /> &gt; Vauthry, in his misguided self-righteousness.<br /> '''Moren:''' Ah yes, Lord Vauthry, former leader of Eulmore and the final Lightwarden you cast down. Building his paradise on Mt. Gulg, he proclaimed his existence immaculate and took the name Innocence.<br /> '''Moren:''' Your reckoning with him was, without a doubt, a defining moment in history, and we will see that it features prominently in the tome!<br /> &gt; Hades, who bore the burden of his people.<br /> '''Moren:''' Ah yes, Hades, he who sought to resurrect his ancient brethren. He was the final obstacle in your quest to restore the night; your battle in the depths of the Tempest the stuff of epics.<br /> '''Moren:''' Yet compelling as it is, I worry that mere words wouldn't do justice to that fateful confrontation...<br /> '''Moren:''' Not that we would think to omit it entirely, of course. No, at the very least, we will impress upon readers that it was the climax of your hero's journey<br /> &gt; This may come as a surprise, but...<br /> '''Moren:''' T-Truly? I never would have guessed... But then if I could, I suppose I wouldn't have had to ask.<br /> '''Moren:''' 'Tis a tremendously eye-opening answer, and we will see that your account of this battle features prominently in the tome! <br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I know you'd love to talk his/her ear off, Moren, but we really should be on our way. Those documents from Eulmore won't collect themselves.<br /> '''Moren:''' Of course, of course. And afterwards, would you care to join me for tea? I was hoping you might clarify a few points in your treatise...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Till next time, then. Do tell the others to look after themselves.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Our overzealous friend, in particular ─ remind him not to overexert himself. Again and again till his ears fall off, if that's what it takes for him to take it to heart.<br /> <br /> '''???:''' &lt;gasp&gt; Is that the Warrior of Darkness!?<br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' It's him/her! It's really him/her! What are you doing here?<br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' If you're going to battle, I can give you some medicine! I made it myself!<br /> '''Eirwel:''' Best not, Riqi. You'd only give him/her a stomachache.<br /> '''Eirwel:''' We've come to see Moren. To get his advice.<br /> '''Eirwel:''' One of the guard finally agreed to teach us how to fight. But first, we need to choose a fighting style.<br /> '''Eirwel:''' While I know that I want to be a mage, Arkil isn't sure.<br /> '''Arkil:''' Magic isn't really my thing. So I was thinking of taking up the axe. Or the sword. Or maybe the bow!<br /> '''Arkil:''' They all seem all right, but it's hard to decide, so I thought I'd ask Moren. He knows about lots of things.<br /> '''Arkil:''' He isn't here? Awww...<br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' Ooh, ooh! Why don't you have the Warrior of Darkness choose for you?<br /> '''Arkil:''' What do you think suits Arkil best? Axe, sword, or bow?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; For smiting your opponent, the axe.<br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' The axe... If you took up the axe, you could be just like...<br /> '''All:''' Ardbert, the Warrior of Light!<br /> &gt; For protecting your friends, the sword.<br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' The sword... If you took up the sword, you could be just like...<br /> '''All:''' Branden, the Warrior of Light!<br /> &gt; For fighting and hunting both, the bow. <br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' The bow... If you took up the bow, you could be just like...<br /> '''All:''' Renda-Rae, the Warrior of Light!<br /> <br /> '''Riqi-Tio:''' I love that tale! Let's borrow the book today!<br /> '''Eirwel:''' It's really popular, though. I hope it's still there...<br /> '''Arkil:''' Thanks for helping me decide, Warrior of Darkness! I'll start with that style, and maybe try something else later on.<br /> '''Arkil:''' And when I get really strong, I hope to have a bout with you!<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Hmph... Such fun he/she's been having basking in the adoration of musty old bookworms and wide-eyed younglings, but does he/she spare a thought for me? Of course not!<br /> '''???:''' I waited and waited and waited, but he/she won't so much as acknowledge the presence of his/her beautiful branch even though they're right here! Such a heartless thing our sapling is! Cold and cruel and ''heartless''!<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Uh... Feo Ul? I...er, need you?<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Why do you say it like a question!? Where's the love, the respect─the awe!?<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' ...But disappointed as I am, I'll overlook it this once. I know you have a lot on your mind right now.<br /> &gt; O faithful Feo Ul, loveliest of branches! How I have missed you!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' If you truly missed me, you should have cried for me at the top of your lungs the instant you arrived!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' To make up for it, you will call with ''twice'' the passion next time. Though for there to be a next time, you've some few struggles to overcome.<br /> &gt; Don't you have more important things to do, Your Majesty?<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' I've no end of important tasks to attend to, but unlike some, I know what my priorities should be! And since when did my sapling become a twisted old tree that says such unkind things?<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' ...But disappointed as I am, I'll overlook it this once. I know you have a lot on your mind right now.<br /> <br /> '''Feo Ul:''' So, my adorable sapling. The world is on the verge of destruction, is it?<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Hehe, how do I know this? Joined as we are, spying on you is as simple as sliding down the back of a rainbow.<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Would that I could aid you in your quest...but the fate of we fae folk is bound to that of the star. Whither it goes, so too do we follow. Such is our way.<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' The most I could do for you is spare you the pain, by gifting you the sweetest of eternal dreams...<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' But if escape's not to your liking, then you must struggle with your fellow mortals.<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Ah, but here are the ones you were waiting for. I wonder, what manner of conclusion awaits at tale's end...?<br /> <br /> '''Lyna:''' My apologies for the delay.<br /> '''Ryne:''' [Forename]! It's so wonderful to see you again!<br /> '''Lyna:''' You doubtless have much catching up to do, so I shall leave you to it. I've taken the liberty of unlocking the Umbilicus, and you may enter at your leisure.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Ryne. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm relieved to hear that everyone is well.<br /> '''Ryne:''' I've had this feeling, like a pit in my stomach, and I was afraid that something might have happened...<br /> '''Ryne:''' Maybe I'm overthinking things, but...it's just that...<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm the Oracle of Light, but I've never spoken with Hydaelyn. Never once heard Her call.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Even so, I've always had this feeling deep inside me. A connection to something immense.<br /> '''Ryne:''' These past few days, though, that connection has...wavered. As if that immense something was distant, then close, then distant again...<br /> '''Ryne:''' And then, the other night, I was jolted awake by the feeling it had been completely severed.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Wanting some fresh air, I went to open the window...and to my horror, the sky was ablaze. Like during the starshower...<br /> '''Ryne:''' But then I blinked, and everything was normal. The next day, no one said a thing. No one else had seen what I had seen.<br /> '''Ryne:''' As far as I could tell, nothing was out of the ordinary. I began to wonder if it was a figment of a half-remembered dream...<br /> '''Ryne:''' [Forename]...? What are you not telling me?<br /> '''Ryne:''' I have to know ─ please! It doesn't matter how terrible it is!<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' It wasn't my imagination, then. The doom we witnessed in Amaurot has come again...<br /> '''Ryne:''' I can't believe it...<br /> '''Ryne:''' Like I told you before, all is well here in the First.<br /> '''Ryne:''' So don't worry about us. Please. Look only to the threat before you.<br /> '''Ryne:''' We're fine right now, and even if we weren't, we've learned how to survive.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Should the Final Days reach us here as well, you may be assured we won't go quietly.<br /> '''Ryne:''' No, we'll hold on until you can find a way to save all our worlds.<br /> '''Ryne:''' So long as you continue your fight, so too will we, united in purpose beneath a blazing sky.<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

If they've any sense, they'll have picked somewhere like Victors' Spoils to take shelter.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We're getting closer to the imperial palace...if one can still call it that. It truly is a terrifying sight to behold...<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Jullus:''' From here, we'll be heading northeast, keeping to the left of the railway.<br /> '''Jullus:''' While the route itself is straightforward, getting past the hordes unseen is anything but. Keep your weapons at the ready.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' They would attack their own countrymen?<br /> '''Jullus:''' Aye. They spare their own but slaughter the rest without hesitation.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Though we'll try to avoid detection, the chances of sneaking by completely unnoticed are slim at best. I will lead the way, but in the event we are seen...you're to fight them off.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Those two will follow us, provided they can refrain from drawing their weapons. While I doubt they would be foolish enough to stab their guide in the back, I will not take that chance. With that said, let us proceed...<br /> <br /> ===Go with Jullus and defeat the tempered soldiers.===<br /> ''You are under attack!'' <br /> Enemies: 2x Tempered Imperials <br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Godsdammit, we're perfectly capable of holding our own...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We must stay alert...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus.===<br /> '''Jullus:''' I see why your comrades chose you.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Jullus, our contingent has a cure for the afflicted, or “tempered” as we call them.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Your people would need to be taken into custody that we may administer the treatment, but they would eventually regain their sanity.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Is that so? For all I know, your “treatment” would simply force them to forsake one master for another.<br /> '''Jullus:''' As far as I and my legion are concerned, they are no longer our people. They're beyond saving.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Those who thought differently and tried to reason with them were butchered for their bleeding hearts. Come ─ we have to keep moving.<br /> <br /> ===Go with Jullus and defeat the tempered soldiers.===<br /> ''You are under attack!'' <br /> Enemies: 2x Tempered Imperials <br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I hate to watch you bear this burden alone...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus.===<br /> '''Jullus:''' Looks like we're not being followed. We will continue onward.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' He truly believes there's nothing that can be done for them. No wonder he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The surest way to limit casualties is to reach our destination without drawing attention to ourselves. Perhaps afterwards we can try again to convince Jullus that the tempered can be saved...<br /> <br /> ===Catch up with Jullus.===<br /> '''Jullus:''' ...I meant what I said ─ these “people” deserve only death. I stayed my hand before only out of a desire to remain undiscovered, and that is still the higher priority. We should continue to avoid any unnecessary confrontations.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Keep following the railway.<br /> <br /> ===Go with Jullus and defeat the tempered soldiers.===<br /> ''You are under attack!'' <br /> Enemies: 2x Tempered Imperials <br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' To think they were once ordinary people...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Such a transformation is likely irreversible...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus.===<br /> '''Jullus:''' Look at what they have become. Would you still stand there and claim that they can be cured!?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Those exposed to a vast quantity of a primal's aether may suffer severe corruption...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Even with treatment, such victims are beyond salvation.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Then you admit it. Now that you have seen these monstrosities for yourself, perhaps you will think twice before speaking of a cure.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Though I wish there was another way, I thank you for keeping us from harm.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Even here in the outskirts, it's plain to see how vastly different Garlemald is compared to other cities...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus again.===<br /> '''Jullus:''' We're almost there.<br /> '''Jullus:''' You have kept your side of the agreement, so I will keep mine. This way.<br /> <br /> ''Optional Dialog, inside Tertium... if you go in ahead without speaking to Jullus)''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I had no idea they had such expansive structures built underground...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Seems secure enough, but hardly the most hospitable of places.<br /> <br /> ''(Every NPC in this settlement will have the following dialog at this stage of quest.)<br /> '''Theodora:''' ...<br /> '''System:''' She clearly has no intention of speaking with you.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus yet again.===<br /> '''Jullus:''' This is Tertium, one of Garlemald's largest stations. It now serves as our headquarters.<br /> '''Jullus:''' I've already sent the twins ahead. I will be with you soon, so wait for me at the bottom of the stairs.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Jullus:''' Go on, down the stairs, like I told you.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Or is this your first time into an underground station? They're all over Garlemald. Even during severe blizzards, we could use them to travel from one end of the city to another. Back when they were still in operation, that is.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I had no idea they had such expansive structures built underground...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It's plain to see why they chose this as their base of operations.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' They could have done a lot worse. Even so, I imagine it's not the easiest place to live.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed...and if Jullus was willing to make the perilous journey to Camp Broken Glass in search of food, their own supplies must be all but exhausted.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' They may be shielded from the wind and snow, but it's still bitterly cold. Much like Victors' Spoils, it must be a constant struggle to keep their people warm.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Lower your voices. While you may be here as my “guests,” the others will not take kindly to your presence.<br /> '''Jullus:''' My commander is in the locomotive, over there.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Now comes the true test...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' He certainly looks the part...<br /> <br /> '''Imposing Commander:''' I will deal with you in a moment.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus. (Cutscene)===<br /> | Voiced cutscene | <br /> '''Jullus:''' ...These are their chosen representatives.<br /> '''Imposing Commander:''' Very well. Let us hear what they have to say.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Yes sir!<br /> '''Jullus:''' I present to you our commander...<br /> '''Jullus:''' ...Lord Quintus van Cinna, legatus of the Ist Legion.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The Ist? I had no idea you had survived!<br /> '''Quintus:''' We lost our Emperor, our city, more than half our troops. For my wounds, I may never take the field again. But we survived, aye.<br /> '''Quintus:''' In a manner much to your liking, I daresay.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We have no intention of adding to your misfortunes. Nor do we bear you any ill will.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Spare me. Though you children may speak in earnest, overtures of peace ever ring hollow in my ears. So long as man stands to profit from his neighbor's suffering, war is inevitable.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Driven from our ancestral homeland into this blasted waste. Yet still you yearned to rob us of our paltry scraps.<br /> '''Quintus:''' 'Twas only with magitek that you learned to keep your distance. Though we knew it was only a matter of time before you regrouped and returned.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Conquest and empire were our only defenses. Emperors Solus and Varis understood this, and through their campaigns saw us grow and prosper. Much blood has been spilled in Garlemald's name, aye, but if it is a choice between yours and mine, then it is hardly a choice at all.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I do not deny that a great many conflicts throughout history were driven by the desire ─ or necessity ─ to gain by another's loss. That is not why we are here.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Nor have we come to petition your aid in the war with the Telophoroi, grave though that threat may be. Our purpose is simply this:<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We wish to help you. Let us help you. If there is aught that can be done to ease your plight, we would be glad to do it.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Perhaps you would.<br /> '''Quintus:''' But regardless of the ideals you espouse, your leaders would not send an army into Garlemald if they did not stand to benefit.<br /> '''Quintus:''' If we accept their aid, they will expect their efforts to be rewarded once the Telophoroi are no longer a threat.<br /> '''Quintus:''' And after compensation and concessions, the great Empire would be brought to heel. Her enemies rejoice at her downfall. Our third eye a mark of shame.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We won't stand idly by and let your people be humiliated ─ and we're not alone in that. We only want to make a difference ─ to make this world of ours better. Surely you can understand that.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' What I'm trying to say is...there are so, so many people who just don't care about making you suffer. And maybe that's almost insulting after all the suffering you feel the world has subjected your people to, but...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Believe it or not, that's the truth. And now we're here, and all we're asking is for you to tell us what you want. What you hope for.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' So much blood has been shed. So much lost. All because of this endless war. Who wouldn't want to end it?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Can we not work together, to face our problems as one?<br /> '''Quintus:''' Answer me this, young peacemakers.<br /> '''Quintus:''' If a world without conflict is your desire, why reject the unity and prosperity of Garlemald?<br /> '''Quintus:''' Is it because we do not share your faith?<br /> '''Quintus:''' That we do not share your heritage?<br /> '''Quintus:''' That our ideals and virtues differ? That we cherish and hold in the highest that which you do not?<br /> '''Quintus:''' Disparity is the root of discord, and peace built on compromise is flawed and fleeting. Happiness for one and all is a dream, and the reality is that to the victor go the spoils.<br /> '''Quintus:''' That is why we Garleans will never submit nor surrender. For freedom and for pride, we will remain true to ourselves until the bitter end. That is my hope.<br /> '''Quintus:''' It seems there is nothing more to say on the matter.<br /> '''Quintus:''' You will remain here while I decide what is to be done with you. Do not be alarmed. No harm will come to you ─ if you cooperate.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We will not resist. However, as your “guests,” I ask that we be allowed to speak with the other members of your group.<br /> '''Quintus:''' As you wish. I had no intention of locking you up, as by dawn you would be frozen stiff, and you are no good to me dead. You are free to move about the encampment. But there is one condition.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Collar them.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' What are these...?<br /> '''Quintus:''' Incentive. You will be watched at all times. Stray too far or act suspiciously and we will administer a rather painful shock.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Stop. Keep away from that one.<br /> '''Quintus:''' The champion of Eorzea is not so easily cowed.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Even if he/she allowed him/herself to be collared, the shock would be no more than an itch. No ─ if he/she refuses to obey, we will activate the twins' restraints instead.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You needn't worry about us.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We'll forget we're even wearing them soon enough.<br /> '''Quintus:''' Even now, you still... Why go to such lengths? What is it all for?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Because even the most bitter adversary may one day see reason. <br /> ''(Flashback to the Emet-Selch, and his signature hand wave)''<br /> &gt; On the coldest, blackest of nights... meager through it may be, we must share the warmth of our fire. <br /> ''(FLashback to a warm smile of Haurchefant)''<br /> <br /> '''Quintus:''' You are a curious one. A far cry from the merciless barbarian others paint you to be.<br /> '''Quintus:''' You will be their warden. Take them away.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Yes sir!<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Quintus:''' I have made my position quite clear. Do not test my patience.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It will take more than a trifle such as this to deter us.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Compared to what Garlemald's people have suffered in recent days, these collars are a minor inconvenience.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I have to remind myself not to touch it, even if it starts to itch.

I'd rather not set if off by accident...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' ...Anyway, enough about that. Let's learn what we can from the refugees.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the quest===<br /> '''Jullus:''' As per Lord Quintus's instructions, I am to supervise you during your time here in Tertium.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Before you ask, no I don't have a key or any other means to remove your collars. Nor would I tell you if I did. And if you try anything, you'll soon wish you hadn't.<br /> '''Jullus:''' So, do you truly intend to speak with the others, or was that merely a ruse?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We're in no hurry to disobey Lord Quintus, if that's what you mean. Or perhaps you doubt the wisdom of his decision?<br /> '''Jullus:''' ...Do as you will. But remember, I'll be watching.<br /> '''Jullus:''' If I catch wind of you doing anything untoward ─ trying to trick our people into turning their coats and the like ─ those shock collars will be the least of your worries. Understood?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Though we're somewhat compromised, to put it lightly, let's not waste this opportunity. I suggest splitting up and learning what we can of their situation. And above all else, don't use magicks of any sort.<br /> '''Jullus:''' You, on the other hand, may go wheresoever you wish. Even outside the camp. I know full well I couldn't stop you if I tried.<br /> '''Jullus:''' But do not forget, if you do ''anything'' to endanger us or our interests, Alphinaud and Alisaie will pay the price.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Jullus:''' You heard what I said. Don't make me repeat myself.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue, inside a train car''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' So cold...and probably hasn't had a proper meal in days.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If only we'd brought some food with us. But perhaps I could use a little magic to─ No, I mustn't. Gods, this is so frustrating...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Is there aught we may do to ease your woes?<br /> <br /> ===Gather information in Tertium.===<br /> '''Caeso:''' You came with Jullus, didn't you? Well, whatever business brought you here, you'd best keep your hands off that aetheryte. It's deactivated, but I'd rather you didn't mess about with it.<br /> '''Caeso:''' There are others throughout the city. Built by Garleans ─ for Garleans. Could teleport all over in the blink of an eye, provided there was a terminal nearby.<br /> '''Caeso:''' These days, however, we use the aetheryte's power to keep this place lit, though that comes at the cost of its normal function.<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Caeso:''' My expertise in maintaining magitek weaponry isn't exactly applicable to the machina you'll find here, but I'll see if I can get this aetheryte working again. Anything to keep busy...<br /> <br /> '''Sabinianus:''' S-So...c-c-cold...<br /> ''This young soldier is on the verge of losing consciousness.''<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Sabinianus:''' ...<br /> <br /> '''Marcellinus:''' I know who you are. The so-called champion of Eorzea. Come to gloat, have you!?<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' I'll wipe that smirk off your face... By the blood of our fallen compatriots, I swear I'll─ Ugh!<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' Damn... Tore the sutures...<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' Of all the times... The worst of the lot within striking distance and I can't even muster the strength...<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' If it weren't for the IIIrd bleeding us, we'd be the end of you...<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' Vergilia's treachery nearly cost Lord Quintus his life, but we made our escape. Took shelter in a mansion ─ tended to the wounded as we prepared to strike back ─ and then...<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' Night fell and we gathered around the radio...then the roar, the terrible roar. The capital was in chaos, but we were spared...<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' ...If you can call this a mercy. Mind intact, but body broken. A soldier in name alone.<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' I'd cut you down where you stand if I could. Murderer...<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Marcellinus:''' How it must pain Lord Quintus to see our proud legion reduced to this. My suffering, my regrets─they are nothing compared to his.<br /> <br /> '''Octavia:''' It's you! [Forename Surname]!<br /> '''Octavia:''' I-I served under Lord Gaius in the XIVth Legion. I was there on the night the Praetorium fell...<br /> '''Octavia:''' You and your adventurers... You killed them. My comrades, my friends... Swept them aside in their dozens, as though they were nothing to you...<br /> '''Octavia:''' ...And maybe I am too. Just another faceless enemy to be cut down. But it won't be long until our countrymen return ─ until you get what you deserve. Mark my words!<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Octavia:''' I was ready to abandon all hope...until I saw you. ''You''... Soon, very soon, we'll make you pay for every life you've taken!<br /> <br /> &gt; Magitek Radio<br /> This radio is the same model as the one used at Victors' Spoils. Perhaps it is what saved the soldiers here from being tempered...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud.===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Did you learn anything of note?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Then your findings are consistent with my own. Their plight is desperate indeed.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The sick and injured are at greatest risk. Without warmth and proper nutrition, I fear they will soon perish.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I realize there is precious little we can do for them at present, but I cannot bear to see them suffer.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Please, will you help me tend to them?<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There are several people in the next carriage I have yet to speak with. Could you start there?<br /> <br /> ===Assist Flavius.===<br /> '''Flavius:''' Who's there? My eyes, they... I can't see all that well...<br /> '''Flavius:''' Aaah... Thank you. The numbness has subsided a little.<br /> '''Flavius:''' But I know...I won't last much longer. You should look to the others who can still fight. Give them my ration...<br /> '''Flavius:''' If me going hungry means someone else lives to see another day, so be it. Least I can still serve in that way...<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Flavius:''' Would...would you stay with me a little longer...? Hold my hand... Yours are so much warmer...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud.===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' So those you met fare no better? I was afraid you would say that.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I know we were warned against meddling in their affairs, but we can't leave them like this. Perhaps we might gain permission to have the contingent deliver supplies?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Quintus may have made his feelings on the matter quite clear, but even he must recognize they are not in a position to refuse help...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Maybe Jullus could persuade him? Though we'd need to persuade Jullus first...<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Just a little more...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Jullus. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Jullus:''' Well? Seen enough?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Jullus, the people here have barely enough food and fuel to survive. Have you and the other soldiers been able to procure any more supplies?<br /> '''Jullus:''' We've been scavenging provisions from the nearby houses, as most families keep ─ kept, rather ─ some stored away in the event they were snowed in.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Still, going out and getting it is dangerous work, and we've a lot of mouths to feed.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Fuel is the greater concern, though. We had some ceruleum set aside...until it was stolen.<br /> '''Jullus:''' We haven't identified the culprit. Could've been other refugees, or one of the afflicted for all we know.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Either way, we're down to the last dregs. Without the heating they need, those in poor health are only going to get worse instead of better...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If it's ceruleum you need, our contingent has secured a ready supply. We can have some sent over!<br /> '''Jullus:''' We will not accept your charity.<br /> '''Jullus:''' If we can hold on a little longer, the situation is sure to change. Aye ─ everything will change...<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; One of your comrades mentioned something along those lines.<br /> &gt; Those mysterious countrymen of yours, I assume?<br /> <br /> '''Jullus:''' Heard something of it, have you? Well. From what I've seen, there's little you could do to interfere, so there's no harm in telling you.<br /> '''Jullus:''' One of our scouts spotted a hooded man issuing instructions to the afflicted ─ or in the bastard's words, “loyal servants of the Telophoroi.”<br /> '''Jullus:''' Then, he made his way inside the imperial palace ─ or what stands in its place.<br /> '''Jullus:''' We'd identified the seat of the enemy's power, we realized. Lord Quintus dispatched a messenger to the Xth Legion saying as much, and instructing them to join forces with the provincial legions. To prepare for a combined assault on the Telophoroi.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Once our allies arrive, your contingent will be sent running for the hills. Then, we shall reclaim the capital by our own hand!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And how do you intend to survive in the meantime? At this rate, many of your countrymen will perish long before reinforcements reach Garlemald.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' They need help ''now''. Say the word, and we will bring you ceruleum.<br /> '''Jullus:''' ...I will speak with Lord Quintus.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' So? Did he agree to it?<br /> '''Jullus:''' No. He will not place Garlemald in the debt of her enemies.<br /> '''Jullus:''' I have, however, been ordered to search for ceruleum outside. As you are under my watch, you will come with me.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Very well. After all, many hands make light work.<br /> '''Jullus:''' &lt;sigh&gt; You lot are more trouble than you're worth.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Once we are outside, you will follow my instructions to the letter. We depart shortly.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> <br /> * The quest name is Latin for &quot;Unwelcome persons&quot;, often referring to foreign diplomats.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Magitek units in particular are nearly impossible to kill.<br /> * The goal is to avoid attention as much as possible. Walk behind hostiles to avoid attracting attention. Remember that the target ring indicator shows which direction a hostile is facing.<br /> * If you do manage to attract the attention of a hostile, even a Magitek unit, you ''can'' get them to de-aggro and reset by running far enough away, provided you can avoid aggroing other hostiles while you flee.<br /> * There are a number of clickable objects, corpses, and magitek wrecks around the area. The majority of them contain medkits, buffs, or nothing at all. Medkits can be used from the duty actions interface, restoring 35% of the soldier's max HP. Rarely you will find a '''Salutaris''' buff that grants a 5 minute regen, or a '''Fortis''' buff that increases damage dealt.<br /> <br /> * First, you must defeat the soldier that walked to the left (east) from where you jump down off the bridge. This shouldn't be difficult.<br /> ** Remember to use Fight or Flight (second hotbar slot) and Rampart (third hotbar slot) to increase your damage done and reduce your damage taken, respectively.<br /> ** This fight will leave you relatively low on health, but you should easily survive it, as long as you dodge the attack telegraphs from the imperial soldier.<br /> ** Interact with the soldier's corpse, then inspect it to receive a medkit, which you can use to restore some of the HP you lost.<br /> ** Interact with the soldier's corpse again and pay your respects before moving on, while you're warned that you need to avoid attracting attention to survive.<br /> <br /> * Your next task is to find a way to exit the large initial area you are confined within.<br /> ** Look for and interact with an Immobilized Magitek Reaper south of the start point, at (23.6, 16.9). You must click this Magitek Reaper wreck to proceed with the other two tasks.<br /> ** The building immediately north of and slightly to the west of the Immobilized Magitek Reaper contains an injured imperial soldier, who gives you keys to the Magitek Reaper outside.<br /> ** On the east side of the area, at (27.4, 13.4), you'll find a Fuel-concealing Wreckage. Interacting with it (only ''after'' having interacted with the Immobilized Magitek Reaper) will give you a Ceruleum Tank, which you must then carry back to the Immobilized Magitek Reaper. Note that your hands will be full while doing so, and you will not be able to use any of your abilities. If you are damaged while carrying the tank, you will drop it there and have to pick it back up when the threat is handled.<br /> <br /> * Once you have the keys and the fuel for the Reaper, board it.<br /> ** The reaper has 3 abilities:<br /> *** Slot 1 is Magitek Cannon, a ground-target AoE with a short cast time and no cooldown. The cast time means you generally have to lead moving targets a bit to hit them.<br /> *** Slot 2 is Diffractive Magitek Cannon, a line-attack AoE with a short cast time and a short cooldown.<br /> *** Slot 3 is High-power Magitek Cannon, an instant ground-target AoE with a much larger radius than the Slot 1 ability, but with a short cooldown.<br /> *** All 3 abilities do 5000 damage, which one-shots all of the Magitek units involved in this combat sequence.<br /> ** There will be a large pack of Magitek units to the west, in front of the shimmering curtain of light blocking your way. Use the Reaper's abilities to defeat them. After the first wave is down, several more waves will spawn.<br /> ** From the center will spawn packs of 5-7 small Magitek Slasher units. The reaper's first ability is sufficient for these, though you can also use the other two<br /> ** Occasionally on the right, a larger Magitek Vanguard will spawn and start using Drill Cannons, a telegraphed line attack on the Reaper's location. This can be taken out easily using the first or third ability.<br /> ** From the left, directly next to the curtain, will spawn Magitek Death Claws, who will slowly walk towards you in a line. Use the second Reaper's ability, as the line attack will clear out the entire line all of the Death Claws in a single shot.<br /> <br /> * After the waves have been defeated, dismount the Reaper using the last ability in the hotbar, then make your way towards where the shimmering curtain used to be. Two tempered imperial soldiers will spawn and begin patrolling north-and-south in the area. Avoid then by walking behind them and make your way south, then west under the broken bridge segments.<br /> * You'll be instructed to kill a number of creatures that are attacking armed imperial citizens in the area as you make your way northwest. Most will focus on their imperial citizen targets, so it's a simple matter of using your first-slot ability repeatedly until they're all dead.<br /> * Continue north until you enter a circular area. Tempered imperial soldiers will spawn and attack, while several mechanics go out. Remember to use your medkits if your health gets low.<br /> ** Each allied imperial citizen will have a circle placed on them, in several waves. Simply don't stand in any other circles.<br /> ** A line stack marker will appear on you. All of the NPC citizens will beeline it to your location, so you don't have to move anywhere for it.<br /> ** A room-wide AoE with a small circular safe-zone in the middle will appear. It takes a while to go off (10-15s), but be in the middle safe zone when it does.<br /> ** The explosion will ignite the ceruleum tanks near the center, which will then explode, leaving you very low on health (regardless of how much HP you had) and toss you a distance before you black out.<br /> <br /> * A quick-time event will start, where you need to repeatedly press your keyboard/controller buttons to &quot;retain consciousness&quot;. As long as the meter does not empty before the time runs out, you succeed.<br /> * You spawn laying on the ground, heavily injured, and are instructed to crawl halfway across the zone to Camp Broken Glass. You move very slowly, but accelerate a bit as stacks of your debuff fall off. Fortunately, you do not need to crawl the entire way there, just down to the end of the street (until your debuff counts down to zero) before the duty is considered complete and a cutscene plays.<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> *Speak with [[Y'shtola]].<br /> *Speak with [[Alisaie]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> *Lucia has further news for you.<br /> <br /> *Lucia tells you that the contingent has made excellent progress in their plans to provide heat and sustenance for the remaining Garleans. As there is nothing so dire as to require your expertise, she asks that you check on Y'shtola.<br /> <br /> *After speaking with Y'shtola, you settle in for a restful supper with comrades old and new. Alas, the moment of peace is shattered by a great wave of aether from the Tower of Babil. Though members of the contingent are protected by their warding scales, the imperials are not so fortunate, and wail as the tempering force begins to twist and torment their minds. You move to help, but are caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Fandaniel, who puts you to sleep and whisks you away...<br /> <br /> :When you awaken, you find yourself seated at a table set for dinner across from Zenos, as a smirking Fandaniel looks on. It is then you realize that your body is not your own, your soul having been extracted and placed within borrowed flesh. Your hosts then proceed to wax poetic about the primal Anima─summoned with the corpse of Varis himself, Fandaniel reveals─and Zenos's unflagging desire to cross swords with you once again.<br /> <br /> *To spur you to accept his demand for a rematch, Zenos takes control of your true body, and you are forced to pursue him through half of Regio Urbanissima to prevent him from deceiving and harming your comrades. You catch up to him in the nick of time, but it appears there will be no celebrating this small victory, as Fandaniel gleefully announces that the Final Days are soon to begin. Having at last returned to Camp Broken Glass─and yourself─you take a moment to settle back into your body before reassuring your comrades that all is well.<br /> <br /> *Alisaie, like the others, is less than pleased with recent events, and more motivated than ever to put a stop to the cruel machinations of the Telophoroi. The time to defeat Fandaniel and Zenos once and for all draws nigh!<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I see that you're still standing. Might I convince you to sit down? ...No, I thought not.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> '''Lucia:''' I assume you're curious about how matters have progressed here in your absence. Quite well, as it happens.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Now that we've procured ceruleum from Tapper's Den, the recently repaired heaters can provide much-needed warmth.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Furthermore, we've prepared sufficient food for everyone. Those from Tertium shall find a hot meal waiting upon their arrival.<br /> '''Lucia:''' There's one for you, so go ahead and get some well-earned rest. I believe that we're capable of wielding a ladle or two without your assistance.<br /> '''Lucia:''' On your way, might I ask you to seek out Y'shtola? She was but recently attending to the wounded, but she's meant to be taking a rest herself. See that she is.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Lucia:''' Were it not for you, Alphinaud, and Alisaie, the people of Tertium may well have perished. Though they may not realize it yet, they owe you their lives.<br /> <br /> '''Emmanellain:''' It's no use taking in all these Garleans if we're going to let them freeze to death. We need heat, for goodness' sake! I knew I should've brought more warming tinctures!<br /> <br /> ''(This Dialog is only available if WoL has completed Machinist Quests, otherwise this NPC is present, but noninteractive)''<br /> '''Stephanivien:''' We shall have the heaters ready before long. With the problem of this dreadful cold addressed, I imagine demeanors may change for the better.<br /> '''Stephanivien:''' I plan to make heaters enough for not only the camp, but for those who have chosen to remain in the station as well.<br /> <br /> '''Sicard:''' More people at the camp means more bodies to keep warm.<br /> '''Sicard:''' The smiths've been scramblin' to get enough heatin' for everyone, and we've got people searchin' for firewood, in case it comes to that.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yes, yes, I have been taking proper breaks and imbibing sufficient water. But what of the Warrior of Light? You and the twins have an established history of reckless disregard for your own well-being.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' We're all fortunate that none of you landed yourselves in my care. I've already quite enough to deal with, between the tempered and the Ist's wounded.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Alas, though I can mend their bodies, the toll their experiences have taken on their hearts and minds is another matter altogether.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' For their sakes, we mustn't waver ─ but nor must we rush ahead in eagerness to see the day won, and in so doing invite disaster...<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;Upon settling down for supper, several cutscenes will play in sequence. <br /> It is recommended that you set aside sufficient time to view these scenes in their entirety.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> | Voiced cutscene |<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Is that all of them?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The last of those who agreed to join us, yes.<br /> '''Thancred:''' We left heaters and provisions for those who wished to stay behind. They won't last forever, but hopefully they'll last long enough.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' For now, I think everyone's earned a rest.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We'll see to those in need of medical attention, so take the others with you and get yourselves some hot soup.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Warmth, at last...<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' Marvelous, isn't it?<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' All thanks to the resourceful machinists of Ishgard, I might add. On their behalf, I bid you warm yourself to your heart's content!<br /> '''Sicard:''' Hold on. Your people might've scribbled a few things on a piece of parchment, but it was our Lominsan smiths that put the bloody things together.<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' Well, be that as it may...we single-handedly got the interior heating up and running again, didn't we?<br /> '''Sicard:''' The hells you did! We were there every step of the way!<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' “We”!? You barely raised a finger to help, you ale-sodden reprobate!<br /> '''Sicard:''' I did a damn sight more than you, you lily-livered bilge rat!<br /> <br /> (Offscreen)<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' Take that back!<br /> '''Sicard:''' Make me.<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' I will not stoop to your level! <br /> ''Jullus watches silently at the exchange.''<br /> <br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' Here.<br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' At ease, man. There's nothing funny in it.<br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' I'm from Ala Mhigo, but was a conscript until recently. Used to eat this with the officers.<br /> '''Immortal Flames Delegate:''' Apparently, it's adapted from a Steppe recipe. This is my first time trying it, and I have to say it's not half bad.<br /> '''Twin Adders Delegate:''' Hmm... It's a bit too flavorful for my liking...<br /> '''Immortal Flames Delegate:''' Perhaps compared to what you're used to.<br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' It's the little things that make life worth living, don't you think?<br /> <br /> '''Lucia:''' I know this is not a dream, and yet...<br /> '''Lucia:''' I felt the same way at the Dragonsong War's end. Every morning I would step outside and need to be reminded that it wasn't my imagination. That my world had been forever changed.<br /> '''Lucia:''' And just as I had grown accustomed to the idea, again you change my world in ways I never thought possible.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Were it not for you and your fellow Scions, the rifts between man and dragon and myriad tribes might never have been bridged.<br /> '''Lucia:''' The Grand Company of Eorzea, the Ilsabard contingent... We owe it all to you.<br /> '''Lucia:''' We've shed many tears in recent days. Of pain and sorrow. Triumph and joy. I much prefer the latter.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; As do I. <br /> '''Lucia:''' I am honoured to fight by your side. As an Eorzean and Garlean both, I shall do all in my power to bring my peoples together.<br /> &gt; We often don't have the luxury of choice. <br /> '''Lucia:''' Indeed. We can but do our utmost to unite these disparate peoples and lead them to victory.<br /> <br /> '''Maxima:''' It is a remarkable achievement ─ everything that I and the Populares had hoped for and more.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Would that it had come sooner.<br /> '''Maxima:''' Indeed. Too many are not here to see it. And yet...there is a warmth in my breast. As if they still share in this moment.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Yes. I know what you mean.<br /> '''Lucia:''' On a night like tonight, the wind and cold seem to pass me by.<br /> ''The flower blooms in WOL's pocket.''<br /> <br /> '''Radio:''' We...have gained the power...take back...rightfully ours.<br /> '''Jullus:''' What? Emperor Varis?<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' They are being tempered! The talismans ─ quickly!<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Save me, brave hero!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Ahem! My lord has requested your presence, and I would hate to disappoint him...<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The experiment was a success, but I fear our time is short.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' I shall begin the preparations.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Now...it is time for you to awaken.<br /> ''You awaken in the body of am Imperal soldier.'' <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh, but be sure to remove your helmet. Take a moment, too, to familiarize yourself with that borrowed flesh.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' So? How does it feel? I, for one, find those first moments within a new body to be most refreshing!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' We had a magitek engineer by the name of Aulus to thank for this method of soul extraction and implantation. I believe the two of you met briefly in Ala Mhigo?<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' His was a rather sticky end, wasn't it? Thankfully, he was thoughtful enough to leave behind his mindjack technology. I took the liberty of making some improvements ─ and selecting you as my esteemed test subject.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Give me back my body!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And permit you to go on a righteous rampage instead of partaking in this delicious meal? I think not.<br /> &gt; This is ''such'' a pain in the arse.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Come now, to us Ascians, it is no different from trying on new clothes. Why not make the most of it by partaking in this fine cuisine?<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' I must say, I have gone to great lengths to reunite you with my lord.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' When I discovered that his “friend” was in this neck of the woods, I suggested inviting you over for dinner.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' He never deigned to respond, but I took his silence as a resounding yes!<br /> ''A rumbling roar sounds through the door.''<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh my! Daddy is pleased his grumpy little boy has finally found his playmate!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Ah. Exposition is in order.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The Garlean Empire has long outlawed all forms of religion. No gods to worship, no risk of summoning. Brilliantly simple.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' But people, being people, must turn to something or someone in their hour of need. Who, then?<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Why, His Radiance the Emperor, of course.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' As you have observed firsthand, Garlemald has seen better days. The legendary Solus zos Galvus ─ dead. Provinces near and far ─ in open rebellion. Our bold new Emperor ─ assassinated! And that last one even sparked a civil war! What rotten luck.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The people cried out for salvation, their earnest pleas ─ one might even call them prayers ─ a supplication united for the Empire to reclaim her former glory.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And so their will did manifest, channeled through the corpse of none other than Emperor Varis himself!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And lo, the savior was born! The embodiment of the Garlean spirit, their Anima!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' It calls to its subjects, compelling them to take up arms and fight.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And just as the wealth and power gravitate towards the Empire's capital, so too does aether, from every corner of the globe!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The towers with which you and your allies have been so preoccupied were created as an extension of Anima itself. An ingenious design...<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Would you not agree, my lord?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Does the pursuit of prey you have bested before excite you?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Of course not. Absent the challenge, the thrill, your prize is a hollow victory. Butchery.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Perhaps you think that to be the extent of my promise. I have no doubt fallen in your estimation since Ala Mhigo.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Fair enough. But do not let your disdain deprive you ─ deprive us ─ of an opportunity to craft an even more majestic moment of euphoria.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I have been honing my craft as I set the stage for our reunion.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Wheresoever there is suffering and despair, you appear, to fulfill your duty as defender of this star.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The chaos and destruction that my hordes have wrought...are my gifts to you alone.<br /> ''Flashes of Arenvald, Nidhana and Jullus cross through.'' <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' At a loss for words? No matter. As you will learn, I have only just begun.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh? Will you not finish your meal?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' There is only one thing that can sate my hunger, and it would seem my friend has lost his appetite.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I hoped this display of civility might prove an entertaining diversion, but clearly we are above such pretensions.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' While my lifeless body was in the possession of the Ascian, I too claimed another's as my own.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' It was an enlightening experience, to fight in an unfamiliar form. Flaws and failings in my technique were plain to see.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Whence rises one's true strength? The flesh? The soul? Perhaps you should like to discover the answer for yourself.<br /> ''Zenos pauses at a throne. There lays WOL's body.''<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Or...together.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh dear! Whatever would happen if my lord were to greet your friends as you? I shudder to imagine what carnage he would wreak!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' We'd better hurry if we want to avert the bloodbath. You can thank me later for my generosity.<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Ah, there it is. Your camp, I believe.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that you ─ the other you ─ is making his/her way there as we speak.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Alas, this you will have to walk from here. Or run, if you can manage it. My lord would be cross if I made it too easy.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Such ingratitude. I'd not squander this fighting chance. After all, you've obstacles enough to overcome ─ right on cue!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Tempered soldiers, with standing orders to kill those not sworn to Anima.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Under normal circumstances you would make short work of them. But on this occasion, the odds are not so heavily stacked in your favor.<br /> <br /> '''After Duty: In From the Cold'''<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It is a miracle we were able to restrain the tempered without suffering casualties.<br /> '''Lucia:''' A welcome one. A-Ruhn-Senna and the others have their hands full as it is. Thankfully, there are enough scales for everyone.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And what of Jullus? His symptoms were particularly severe.<br /> '''Lucia:''' They were, but others fared still worse, including some brought back from the Magna Glacies.<br /> '''Lucia:''' As those in most desperate need take priority, it may be a while before he receives treatment.<br /> '''Lucia:''' But rest assured that he will. In the meantime, we must find our missing friend. May the Fury guide you.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Of all the bloody times for a disappearing act...<br /> '''Thancred:''' Right when the first wave struck. We'd be fools to think it a coincidence.<br /> '''Thancred:''' But where even to begin the search? No one saw him/her leave in the chaos, and we've no trail to follow.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' While I know full well he/she can handle him/herself, I worry all the same.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah. Speak of the devil...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Well! Time to call off the search!<br /> '''Thancred:''' Hmph. Case closed.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' That's him/her? Over there?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Aye, 'twould appear so. Thou art struggling to perceive his/her presence?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I am. Perhaps, in the aftermath of the wave, there is some residual effect interfering with my faculties, but...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Where have you been? We've been worried sick!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Now, now, all's well that ends well. Are you all right?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' ''Are'' you all right?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...Who are you?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Enough, Zenos!<br /> &gt; Get away from them, you bastard!<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Sadly, that is all we have time for today. The effect has run its course, and back to your own bodies you must go.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' But where are my manners? You have all traveled so very far, and I have yet to pay my respects.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Though in my defense, I was ill prepared to receive so many uninvited guests. As such, preliminary entertainments were in order.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' A handful of tempered soldiers to hamper your progress. Refugees to command your attention while I siphoned their ceruleum from the shadows ─ particularly effective, that.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Charitable souls that you are, you bent over backwards to aid them, heedless of the delay. Predictable to a fault! And so my plan approaches completion unhindered.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Anima will soon have absorbed the requisite amount of aether, and then shall come the spectacle to end all spectacles!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The eldest and most powerful of primals will awaken, and all shall bear witness to the Final Days!<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The gods themselves will be my meal. Your dear companions my dessert. Upon this world I'll feast, and death shall follow in my wake.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' All your hate, all your rage, you will render unto me.<br /> <br /> '''Vrtra:''' For upon thy life's reel wind too many threads. Of fate. Power. Weal, enmeshed with woe.<br /> '''Vrtra:''' More terrible still is the attrition wrought upon thy companions, as they are swept up in the storm of thine existence.<br /> '''Vrtra:''' Take heart and protect them well. They will be your strength and your salvation.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thank goodness. He/She's awake!<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Is everyone all right?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Perfectly fine, yes. I hope the same can be said of you.<br /> &gt; So I'm not dead yet?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I am pleased to report you are very much alive.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Everything in working order?<br /> ''WOL nods.''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' That's a relief. Oh, and before I forget: thanks for coming to our rescue.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Given recent events, I would be surprised if you weren't feeling a bit poorly.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A hearty meal and a long rest would be my recommendation under normal circumstances, but these are anything but. If Fandaniel's boasts are to be believed, we must act quickly.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Once you've blown away the cobwebs, we can discuss preparations for our assault on the Tower of Babil.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''Lucia:''' I will require a detailed report on what occurred whilst you were...not yourself. For the contingent, of course.<br /> '''Lucia:''' It can wait until later, however. For now, it's enough that you've returned.<br /> <br /> '''Maxima:''' The body that you were forced to inhabit turned cold and stiff the moment you were returned to your own. Perhaps the soul it belonged to is long gone...<br /> '''Maxima:''' Let us pray it is so, for I doubt it would be better off in the care of Zenos or Fandaniel.<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Thank heavens you're you again. Gave me quite a fright.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Whatever that was, let's not do it again, eh?<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Full glad am I to see thee awake and restored to thine own flesh once more.<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' No apologies necessary, least of all to me. If anything, there's a strange comfort in knowing I'm no longer the only one to have been used as a villain's puppet. Though I pray you'll be the last...<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Hm, yes...'tis still you...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' My apologies ─ I realized too late that the aether emanating from the tower was distorting my perception. 'Twas likely a temporary effect, but I remain wary.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Are you certain that you've recovered? You mustn't push yourself, especially after an experience like that.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie.===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' You're certain you're well? Nothing out of place? No missing bits?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Good. Though I won't promise the same for Fandaniel and Zenos after I'm through with them...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How much must these people suffer before they're satisfied?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How many cruel, pointless tricks must they play?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Prelude to the Final Days or no, this ends now!<br /> <br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' So, how shall we strike them down?<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> The magitek engineer named by Fandaniel is [[Aulus_mal_Asina]].<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>

Magitek units in particular are nearly impossible to kill.<br /> * The goal is to avoid attention as much as possible. Walk behind hostiles to avoid attracting attention. Remember that the target ring indicator shows which direction a hostile is facing.<br /> * If you do manage to attract the attention of a hostile, even a Magitek unit, you ''can'' get them to de-aggro and reset by running far enough away, provided you can avoid aggroing other hostiles while you flee.<br /> * There are a number of clickable objects, corpses, and magitek wrecks around the area. The majority of them contain medkits, buffs, or nothing at all. Medkits can be used from the duty actions interface, restoring 35% of the soldier's max HP. Rarely you will find a '''Salutaris''' buff that grants a 5 minute regen, or a '''Fortis''' buff that increases damage dealt.<br /> <br /> * First, you must defeat the soldier that walked to the left (east) from where you jump down off the bridge. This shouldn't be difficult.<br /> ** Remember to use Fight or Flight (second hotbar slot) and Rampart (third hotbar slot) to increase your damage done and reduce your damage taken, respectively.<br /> ** This fight will leave you relatively low on health, but you should easily survive it, as long as you dodge the attack telegraphs from the imperial soldier.<br /> ** Interact with the soldier's corpse, then inspect it to receive a medkit, which you can use to restore some of the HP you lost.<br /> ** Interact with the soldier's corpse again and pay your respects before moving on, while you're warned that you need to avoid attracting attention to survive.<br /> <br /> * Your next task is to find a way to exit the large initial area you are confined within.<br /> ** Look for and interact with an Immobilized Magitek Reaper south of the start point, at (23.6, 16.9). You must click this Magitek Reaper wreck to proceed with the other two tasks.<br /> ** The building immediately north of and slightly to the west of the Immobilized Magitek Reaper contains an injured imperial soldier, who gives you keys to the Magitek Reaper outside.<br /> ** On the east side of the area, at (27.4, 13.4), you'll find a Fuel-concealing Wreckage. Interacting with it (only ''after'' having interacted with the Immobilized Magitek Reaper) will give you a Ceruleum Tank, which you must then carry back to the Immobilized Magitek Reaper. Note that your hands will be full while doing so, and you will not be able to use any of your abilities. If you are damaged while carrying the tank, you will drop it there and have to pick it back up when the threat is handled.<br /> <br /> * Once you have the keys and the fuel for the Reaper, board it.<br /> ** The reaper has 3 abilities:<br /> *** Slot 1 is Magitek Cannon, a ground-target AoE with a short cast time and no cooldown. The cast time means you generally have to lead moving targets a bit to hit them.<br /> *** Slot 2 is Diffractive Magitek Cannon, a line-attack AoE with a short cast time and a short cooldown.<br /> *** Slot 3 is High-power Magitek Cannon, an instant ground-target AoE with a much larger radius than the Slot 1 ability, but with a short cooldown.<br /> *** All 3 abilities do 5000 damage, which one-shots all of the Magitek units involved in this combat sequence.<br /> ** There will be a large pack of Magitek units to the west, in front of the shimmering curtain of light blocking your way. Use the Reaper's abilities to defeat them. After the first wave is down, several more waves will spawn.<br /> ** From the center will spawn packs of 5-7 small Magitek Slasher units. The reaper's first ability is sufficient for these, though you can also use the other two<br /> ** Occasionally on the right, a larger Magitek Vanguard will spawn and start using Drill Cannons, a telegraphed line attack on the Reaper's location. This can be taken out easily using the first or third ability.<br /> ** From the left, directly next to the curtain, will spawn Magitek Death Claws, who will slowly walk towards you in a line. Use the second Reaper's ability, as the line attack will clear out the entire line all of the Death Claws in a single shot.<br /> <br /> * After the waves have been defeated, dismount the Reaper using the last ability in the hotbar, then make your way towards where the shimmering curtain used to be. Two tempered imperial soldiers will spawn and begin patrolling north-and-south in the area. Avoid then by walking behind them and make your way south, then west under the broken bridge segments.<br /> * You'll be instructed to kill a number of creatures that are attacking armed imperial citizens in the area as you make your way northwest. Most will focus on their imperial citizen targets, so it's a simple matter of using your first-slot ability repeatedly until they're all dead.<br /> * Continue north until you enter a circular area. Tempered imperial soldiers will spawn and attack, while several mechanics go out. Remember to use your medkits if your health gets low.<br /> ** Each allied imperial citizen will have a circle placed on them, in several waves. Simply don't stand in any other circles.<br /> ** A line stack marker will appear on you. All of the NPC citizens will beeline it to your location, so you don't have to move anywhere for it.<br /> ** A room-wide AoE with a small circular safe-zone in the middle will appear. It takes a while to go off (10-15s), but be in the middle safe zone when it does.<br /> ** The explosion will ignite the ceruleum tanks near the center, which will then explode, leaving you very low on health (regardless of how much HP you had) and toss you a distance before you black out.<br /> <br /> * A quick-time event will start, where you need to repeatedly press your keyboard/controller buttons to &quot;retain consciousness&quot;. As long as the meter does not empty before the time runs out, you succeed.<br /> * You spawn laying on the ground, heavily injured, and are instructed to crawl halfway across the zone to Camp Broken Glass. You move very slowly, but accelerate a bit as stacks of your debuff fall off. Fortunately, you do not need to crawl the entire way there, just down to the end of the street (until your debuff counts down to zero) before the duty is considered complete and a cutscene plays.<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> *Speak with [[Y'shtola]].<br /> *Speak with [[Alisaie]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> *Lucia has further news for you.<br /> <br /> *Lucia tells you that the contingent has made excellent progress in their plans to provide heat and sustenance for the remaining Garleans. As there is nothing so dire as to require your expertise, she asks that you check on Y'shtola.<br /> <br /> *After speaking with Y'shtola, you settle in for a restful supper with comrades old and new. Alas, the moment of peace is shattered by a great wave of aether from the Tower of Babil. Though members of the contingent are protected by their warding scales, the imperials are not so fortunate, and wail as the tempering force begins to twist and torment their minds. You move to help, but are caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Fandaniel, who puts you to sleep and whisks you away...<br /> <br /> :When you awaken, you find yourself seated at a table set for dinner across from Zenos, as a smirking Fandaniel looks on. It is then you realize that your body is not your own, your soul having been extracted and placed within borrowed flesh. Your hosts then proceed to wax poetic about the primal Anima─summoned with the corpse of Varis himself, Fandaniel reveals─and Zenos's unflagging desire to cross swords with you once again.<br /> <br /> *To spur you to accept his demand for a rematch, Zenos takes control of your true body, and you are forced to pursue him through half of Regio Urbanissima to prevent him from deceiving and harming your comrades. You catch up to him in the nick of time, but it appears there will be no celebrating this small victory, as Fandaniel gleefully announces that the Final Days are soon to begin. Having at last returned to Camp Broken Glass─and yourself─you take a moment to settle back into your body before reassuring your comrades that all is well.<br /> <br /> *Alisaie, like the others, is less than pleased with recent events, and more motivated than ever to put a stop to the cruel machinations of the Telophoroi. The time to defeat Fandaniel and Zenos once and for all draws nigh!<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I see that you're still standing. Might I convince you to sit down? ...No, I thought not.<br /> <br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> '''Lucia:''' I assume you're curious about how matters have progressed here in your absence. Quite well, as it happens.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Now that we've procured ceruleum from Tapper's Den, the recently repaired heaters can provide much-needed warmth.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Furthermore, we've prepared sufficient food for everyone. Those from Tertium shall find a hot meal waiting upon their arrival.<br /> '''Lucia:''' There's one for you, so go ahead and get some well-earned rest. I believe that we're capable of wielding a ladle or two without your assistance.<br /> '''Lucia:''' On your way, might I ask you to seek out Y'shtola? She was but recently attending to the wounded, but she's meant to be taking a rest herself. See that she is.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue''<br /> '''Lucia:''' Were it not for you, Alphinaud, and Alisaie, the people of Tertium may well have perished. Though they may not realize it yet, they owe you their lives.<br /> <br /> '''Emmanellain:''' It's no use taking in all these Garleans if we're going to let them freeze to death. We need heat, for goodness' sake! I knew I should've brought more warming tinctures!<br /> <br /> ''(This Dialog is only available if WoL has completed Machinist Quests, otherwise this NPC is present, but noninteractive)''<br /> '''Stephanivien:''' We shall have the heaters ready before long. With the problem of this dreadful cold addressed, I imagine demeanors may change for the better.<br /> '''Stephanivien:''' I plan to make heaters enough for not only the camp, but for those who have chosen to remain in the station as well.<br /> <br /> '''Sicard:''' More people at the camp means more bodies to keep warm.<br /> '''Sicard:''' The smiths've been scramblin' to get enough heatin' for everyone, and we've got people searchin' for firewood, in case it comes to that.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yes, yes, I have been taking proper breaks and imbibing sufficient water. But what of the Warrior of Light? You and the twins have an established history of reckless disregard for your own well-being.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' We're all fortunate that none of you landed yourselves in my care. I've already quite enough to deal with, between the tempered and the Ist's wounded.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Alas, though I can mend their bodies, the toll their experiences have taken on their hearts and minds is another matter altogether.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' For their sakes, we mustn't waver ─ but nor must we rush ahead in eagerness to see the day won, and in so doing invite disaster...<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;Upon settling down for supper, several cutscenes will play in sequence. <br /> It is recommended that you set aside sufficient time to view these scenes in their entirety.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> | Voiced cutscene |<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Is that all of them?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The last of those who agreed to join us, yes.<br /> '''Thancred:''' We left heaters and provisions for those who wished to stay behind. They won't last forever, but hopefully they'll last long enough.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' For now, I think everyone's earned a rest.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We'll see to those in need of medical attention, so take the others with you and get yourselves some hot soup.<br /> '''Jullus:''' Warmth, at last...<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' Marvelous, isn't it?<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' All thanks to the resourceful machinists of Ishgard, I might add. On their behalf, I bid you warm yourself to your heart's content!<br /> '''Sicard:''' Hold on. Your people might've scribbled a few things on a piece of parchment, but it was our Lominsan smiths that put the bloody things together.<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' Well, be that as it may...we single-handedly got the interior heating up and running again, didn't we?<br /> '''Sicard:''' The hells you did! We were there every step of the way!<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' “We”!? You barely raised a finger to help, you ale-sodden reprobate!<br /> '''Sicard:''' I did a damn sight more than you, you lily-livered bilge rat!<br /> <br /> (Offscreen)<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' Take that back!<br /> '''Sicard:''' Make me.<br /> '''Emmanellain:''' I will not stoop to your level! <br /> ''Jullus watches silently at the exchange.''<br /> <br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' Here.<br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' At ease, man. There's nothing funny in it.<br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' I'm from Ala Mhigo, but was a conscript until recently. Used to eat this with the officers.<br /> '''Immortal Flames Delegate:''' Apparently, it's adapted from a Steppe recipe. This is my first time trying it, and I have to say it's not half bad.<br /> '''Twin Adders Delegate:''' Hmm... It's a bit too flavorful for my liking...<br /> '''Immortal Flames Delegate:''' Perhaps compared to what you're used to.<br /> '''Resistance Delegate:''' It's the little things that make life worth living, don't you think?<br /> <br /> '''Lucia:''' I know this is not a dream, and yet...<br /> '''Lucia:''' I felt the same way at the Dragonsong War's end. Every morning I would step outside and need to be reminded that it wasn't my imagination. That my world had been forever changed.<br /> '''Lucia:''' And just as I had grown accustomed to the idea, again you change my world in ways I never thought possible.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Were it not for you and your fellow Scions, the rifts between man and dragon and myriad tribes might never have been bridged.<br /> '''Lucia:''' The Grand Company of Eorzea, the Ilsabard contingent... We owe it all to you.<br /> '''Lucia:''' We've shed many tears in recent days. Of pain and sorrow. Triumph and joy. I much prefer the latter.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; As do I. <br /> '''Lucia:''' I am honoured to fight by your side. As an Eorzean and Garlean both, I shall do all in my power to bring my peoples together.<br /> &gt; We often don't have the luxury of choice. <br /> '''Lucia:''' Indeed. We can but do our utmost to unite these disparate peoples and lead them to victory.<br /> <br /> '''Maxima:''' It is a remarkable achievement ─ everything that I and the Populares had hoped for and more.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Would that it had come sooner.<br /> '''Maxima:''' Indeed. Too many are not here to see it. And yet...there is a warmth in my breast. As if they still share in this moment.<br /> '''Lucia:''' Yes. I know what you mean.<br /> '''Lucia:''' On a night like tonight, the wind and cold seem to pass me by.<br /> ''The flower blooms in WOL's pocket.''<br /> <br /> '''Radio:''' We...have gained the power...take back...rightfully ours.<br /> '''Jullus:''' What? Emperor Varis?<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' They are being tempered! The talismans ─ quickly!<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Save me, brave hero!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Ahem! My lord has requested your presence, and I would hate to disappoint him...<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The experiment was a success, but I fear our time is short.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' I shall begin the preparations.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Now...it is time for you to awaken.<br /> ''You awaken in the body of am Imperal soldier.'' <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh, but be sure to remove your helmet. Take a moment, too, to familiarize yourself with that borrowed flesh.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' So? How does it feel? I, for one, find those first moments within a new body to be most refreshing!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' We had a magitek engineer by the name of Aulus to thank for this method of soul extraction and implantation. I believe the two of you met briefly in Ala Mhigo?<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' His was a rather sticky end, wasn't it? Thankfully, he was thoughtful enough to leave behind his mindjack technology. I took the liberty of making some improvements ─ and selecting you as my esteemed test subject.<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Give me back my body!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And permit you to go on a righteous rampage instead of partaking in this delicious meal? I think not.<br /> &gt; This is ''such'' a pain in the arse.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Come now, to us Ascians, it is no different from trying on new clothes. Why not make the most of it by partaking in this fine cuisine?<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' I must say, I have gone to great lengths to reunite you with my lord.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' When I discovered that his “friend” was in this neck of the woods, I suggested inviting you over for dinner.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' He never deigned to respond, but I took his silence as a resounding yes!<br /> ''A rumbling roar sounds through the door.''<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh my! Daddy is pleased his grumpy little boy has finally found his playmate!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Ah. Exposition is in order.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The Garlean Empire has long outlawed all forms of religion. No gods to worship, no risk of summoning. Brilliantly simple.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' But people, being people, must turn to something or someone in their hour of need. Who, then?<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Why, His Radiance the Emperor, of course.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' As you have observed firsthand, Garlemald has seen better days. The legendary Solus zos Galvus ─ dead. Provinces near and far ─ in open rebellion. Our bold new Emperor ─ assassinated! And that last one even sparked a civil war! What rotten luck.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The people cried out for salvation, their earnest pleas ─ one might even call them prayers ─ a supplication united for the Empire to reclaim her former glory.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And so their will did manifest, channeled through the corpse of none other than Emperor Varis himself!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And lo, the savior was born! The embodiment of the Garlean spirit, their Anima!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' It calls to its subjects, compelling them to take up arms and fight.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' And just as the wealth and power gravitate towards the Empire's capital, so too does aether, from every corner of the globe!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The towers with which you and your allies have been so preoccupied were created as an extension of Anima itself. An ingenious design...<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Would you not agree, my lord?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Does the pursuit of prey you have bested before excite you?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Of course not. Absent the challenge, the thrill, your prize is a hollow victory. Butchery.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Perhaps you think that to be the extent of my promise. I have no doubt fallen in your estimation since Ala Mhigo.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Fair enough. But do not let your disdain deprive you ─ deprive us ─ of an opportunity to craft an even more majestic moment of euphoria.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I have been honing my craft as I set the stage for our reunion.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Wheresoever there is suffering and despair, you appear, to fulfill your duty as defender of this star.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The chaos and destruction that my hordes have wrought...are my gifts to you alone.<br /> ''Flashes of Arenvald, Nidhana and Jullus cross through.'' <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' At a loss for words? No matter. As you will learn, I have only just begun.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh? Will you not finish your meal?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' There is only one thing that can sate my hunger, and it would seem my friend has lost his appetite.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I hoped this display of civility might prove an entertaining diversion, but clearly we are above such pretensions.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' While my lifeless body was in the possession of the Ascian, I too claimed another's as my own.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' It was an enlightening experience, to fight in an unfamiliar form. Flaws and failings in my technique were plain to see.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Whence rises one's true strength? The flesh? The soul? Perhaps you should like to discover the answer for yourself.<br /> ''Zenos pauses at a throne. There lays WOL's body.''<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Or...together.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Oh dear! Whatever would happen if my lord were to greet your friends as you? I shudder to imagine what carnage he would wreak!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' We'd better hurry if we want to avert the bloodbath. You can thank me later for my generosity.<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Ah, there it is. Your camp, I believe.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that you ─ the other you ─ is making his way there as we speak.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Alas, this you will have to walk from here. Or run, if you can manage it. My lord would be cross if I made it too easy.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Such ingratitude. I'd not squander this fighting chance. After all, you've obstacles enough to overcome ─ right on cue!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Tempered soldiers, with standing orders to kill those not sworn to Anima.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Under normal circumstances you would make short work of them. But on this occasion, the odds are not so heavily stacked in your favor.<br /> <br /> '''After Duty: In From the Cold'''<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It is a miracle we were able to restrain the tempered without suffering casualties.<br /> '''Lucia:''' A welcome one. A-Ruhn-Senna and the others have their hands full as it is. Thankfully, there are enough scales for everyone.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And what of Jullus? His symptoms were particularly severe.<br /> '''Lucia:''' They were, but others fared still worse, including some brought back from the Magna Glacies.<br /> '''Lucia:''' As those in most desperate need take priority, it may be a while before he receives treatment.<br /> '''Lucia:''' But rest assured that he will. In the meantime, we must find our missing friend. May the Fury guide you.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Of all the bloody times for a disappearing act...<br /> '''Thancred:''' Right when the first wave struck. We'd be fools to think it a coincidence.<br /> '''Thancred:''' But where even to begin the search? No one saw him/her leave in the chaos, and we've no trail to follow.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' While I know full well he/she can handle him/herself, I worry all the same.<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Ah. Speak of the devil...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Well! Time to call off the search!<br /> '''Thancred:''' Hmph. Case closed.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' That's him/her? Over there?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Aye, 'twould appear so. Thou art struggling to perceive his/her presence?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I am. Perhaps, in the aftermath of the wave, there is some residual effect interfering with my faculties, but...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Where have you been? We've been worried sick!<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Now, now, all's well that ends well. Are you all right?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' ''Are'' you all right?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' ...Who are you?<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Enough, Zenos!<br /> &gt; Get away from them, you bastard!<br /> <br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Sadly, that is all we have time for today. The effect has run its course, and back to your own bodies you must go.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' But where are my manners? You have all traveled so very far, and I have yet to pay my respects.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Though in my defense, I was ill prepared to receive so many uninvited guests. As such, preliminary entertainments were in order.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' A handful of tempered soldiers to hamper your progress. Refugees to command your attention while I siphoned their ceruleum from the shadows ─ particularly effective, that.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Charitable souls that you are, you bent over backwards to aid them, heedless of the delay. Predictable to a fault! And so my plan approaches completion unhindered.<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' Anima will soon have absorbed the requisite amount of aether, and then shall come the spectacle to end all spectacles!<br /> '''Fandaniel:''' The eldest and most powerful of primals will awaken, and all shall bear witness to the Final Days!<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The gods themselves will be my meal. Your dear companions my dessert. Upon this world I'll feast, and death shall follow in my wake.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' All your hate, all your rage, you will render unto me.<br /> <br /> '''Vrtra:''' For upon thy life's reel wind too many threads. Of fate. Power. Weal, enmeshed with woe.<br /> '''Vrtra:''' More terrible still is the attrition wrought upon thy companions, as they are swept up in the storm of thine existence.<br /> '''Vrtra:''' Take heart and protect them well. They will be your strength and your salvation.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thank goodness. He/She's awake!<br /> <br /> '''''What will you say?'''''<br /> &gt; Is everyone all right?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Perfectly fine, yes. I hope the same can be said of you.<br /> &gt; So I'm not dead yet?<br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' I am pleased to report you are very much alive.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Everything in working order?<br /> ''WOL nods.''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' That's a relief. Oh, and before I forget: thanks for coming to our rescue.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Given recent events, I would be surprised if you weren't feeling a bit poorly.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A hearty meal and a long rest would be my recommendation under normal circumstances, but these are anything but. If Fandaniel's boasts are to be believed, we must act quickly.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Once you've blown away the cobwebs, we can discuss preparations for our assault on the Tower of Babil.<br /> <br /> ''Optional dialogue'' <br /> '''Lucia:''' I will require a detailed report on what occurred whilst you were...not yourself. For the contingent, of course.<br /> '''Lucia:''' It can wait until later, however. For now, it's enough that you've returned.<br /> <br /> '''Maxima:''' The body that you were forced to inhabit turned cold and stiff the moment you were returned to your own. Perhaps the soul it belonged to is long gone...<br /> '''Maxima:''' Let us pray it is so, for I doubt it would be better off in the care of Zenos or Fandaniel.<br /> <br /> '''G'raha Tia:''' Thank heavens you're you again. Gave me quite a fright.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Whatever that was, let's not do it again, eh?<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Full glad am I to see thee awake and restored to thine own flesh once more.<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' No apologies necessary, least of all to me. If anything, there's a strange comfort in knowing I'm no longer the only one to have been used as a villain's puppet. Though I pray you'll be the last...<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Hm, yes...'tis still you...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' My apologies ─ I realized too late that the aether emanating from the tower was distorting my perception. 'Twas likely a temporary effect, but I remain wary.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Are you certain that you've recovered? You mustn't push yourself, especially after an experience like that.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie.===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' You're certain you're well? Nothing out of place? No missing bits?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Good. Though I won't promise the same for Fandaniel and Zenos after I'm through with them...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How much must these people suffer before they're satisfied?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How many cruel, pointless tricks must they play?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Prelude to the Final Days or no, this ends now!<br /> <br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' So, how shall we strike them down?<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> The magitek engineer named by Fandaniel is [[Aulus_mal_Asina]].<br /> [[Category:Quests missing dialogue template]]</div>
