==Steps==
*Talk to [[Varshahn]] at [[Meghaduta]].
*Travel to [[Old Sharlayan]].
*Speak with [[Ojika Tsunjika]] at [[The Baldesion Annex]].
*Speak with Krile outside of [[The Studium]].

==Journal==
*Varshahn has a message from Sharlayan.
*While enjoying your sojourn in [[Radz-at-Han]], you learn from [[Varshahn]] that the Students of Baldesion have requested your presence in [[Sharlayan]]. Thus do you set forth for [[the Baldesion Annex]], where [[Ojika Tsunjika]] awaits.
*You meet with [[Krile]] and [[G'raha Tia]], who inform you that they had sent for you on [[Erenville]]'s behalf. The gleaner has returned from his expedition abroad rather earlier than expected, and the change in his plans is likely related to a visitor he wishes for you to meet. While awaiting your arrival, Erenville has gone to [[the Studium]], and you decide to seek him out there.
*After a brief search, you manage to find Erenville and the visitor, who introduces herself as [[Wuk Lamat]], claimant to the throne of [[Tuliyollal]] in the far-western continent of [[Tural]]. The gregarious woman wastes no time revealing her business: she wants you to accompany her to her homeland and help her triumph in the impending ritual of succession, a contest to determine the next ruler. As it is a rather abrupt request to make of someone she has only just met, she proposes going on a hunt together, the better to get acquainted.

'''Azdaja:''' Radz-at-Han... Home...
-optional end

===Accepting the quest===
'''Varshahn:''' Ah, [Forename]. One of my clerks was just here with a message for you.
'''Varshahn:''' The Students of Baldesion request your presence in Sharlayan at your earliest convenience.
'''Varshahn:''' Indebted as I am to our friends, I had hoped that I too might be of service, but it is you alone that they require.
'''Varshahn:''' In the meantime, I shall continue showing Azdaja the city. From notable landmarks to the people's lives, there is still much and more for her to see.
'''Varshahn:''' Farewell for now, my friend. I look forward to the day we set forth on another adventure together.

-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Varshahn:''' If you've no pressing business, pray make your way to the Baldesion Annex at once. Ojika awaits your arrival.
-optional end

===Speak with Ojika Tsunjika at the Baldesion Annex.===
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' A warm and hearty welcome to you, [Forename]! I gather you received our message?
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Please wait here while I fetch Krile and G'raha.

-cutscene start
'''Krile:''' Thank you for coming on such short notice.

> If the player has completed the [[Myths of the Realm]] questline
'''Krile:''' And forgive us for sending for you so soon after your trials in the void, to say nothing of your grueling battle against the Twelve.
> Otherwise
'''Krile:''' And forgive us for sending for you so soon after your trials in the void.
---

'''Krile:''' Now then, we aren't actually the ones who require your presence, but Erenville.
'''Krile:''' He stopped by recently, you see, and asked us to reach out to you on his behalf.
'''Krile:''' I imagine you're as surprised as we are, given that he was supposed to be away on a long expedition.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Something must have necessitated a change in his plans.
'''Krile:''' All he would tell me is that there is someone whom he wishes [Forename] to meet.
'''Krile:''' He also mentioned that he would be tending to business at the Studium. Shall we look for him there?
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''G'raha Tia:''' Erenville's early return likely has something to do with this visitor. Who could it be, I wonder...
-optional end

===Speak with Krile.===
'''Krile:''' Now then, where is Erenville?

-voiced cutscene start
'''Krile:''' Erenville!
'''Erenville:''' Apologies for the wait. I hope I haven't called you away from anything important.
'''Erenville:''' I chanced upon some commissioned items at my destination, so I thought I might deliver them.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Where did you go, if I may ask?
'''Erenville:''' The New World─Tural.
'''Krile:''' You went to Tural!? Then the person who you wished to introduce...
'''Erenville:''' Aye, she hails from there. I present to you...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...It seems you've lost her.
'''Krile:''' Did she wander off?
'''Wuk Lamat@Exuberant Newcomer:''' Sorry, sorry! It's just so different here─I can't help but want to explore!
'''Erenville:''' Well, while you were exploring, your candidate came to us.
'''Erenville:''' This is {{alternatives|f=her|m=him}}. The adventurer you crossed the seas to meet.
'''Wuk Lamat@Exuberant Newcomer:''' Ooh... You weren't exaggerating. It's plain {{alternatives|f=she's|m=he's}} no ordinary {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}}.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' I'm Wuk Lamat. Claimant to the throne of Tuliyollal.
'''Krile:''' Tuliyollal...
'''Erenville:''' It's Tural's governing nation. The capital bears the same name.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' I'll get to the point. I want you to come with me to my homeland.
'''Erenville:''' Given the magnitude of the request, perhaps you should explain why you're making it.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Hahaha! Of course, of course!
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Soon an event of great import will be held in Tural: the rite of succession.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Taking the form of a contest, it will determine who next ascends the throne.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' As daughter to its present keeper, I will participate─and I have every intention of winning.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' I was searching for champions to join me when Erenville told me about you.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' A mighty warrior who knows no fear! Who sweeps aside terrible fiends as if they were reeds! Who flew to the edge of existence and saved our star!
'''Erenville:''' She asked who Eorzea's greatest hero was, and so I told her. Much more elegantly, I might add.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Now you know why. You'll come to Tural, yes?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Wait! Let's all just...slow down.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Wuk Lamat, was it? You claim to be of the royal family, but is it not the Mamool Ja who rule in Tural?
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Tuliyollal is a nation of many peoples. Not only the Mamool Ja as some across the seas are quick to assume.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' That said, its present ruler is a Mamool Ja, and one blessed with two heads besides.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' He's also my father. Not by blood, obviously, but he raised me as his own, and that's what matters.
'''G'raha Tia:''' So that is the way of it... My apologies if I was indelicate.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Hardly! I know little about your land, and nothing about your parentage.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Ah, but in my eagerness I've gotten ahead of myself. I can't expect you to agree on the spot when we've only just met.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them. Just know, though, that if it's adventure you seek, you could do far worse than come with me.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Now, this is only a rumor...
'''Wuk Lamat:''' But apparently, the contest will involve the fabled city of gold and the legendary beast Valigarmanda.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Tell me that doesn't pique your interest.

Question: What will you say?
> You have my complete attention.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' We're going to get along, you and I!
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Tural has no shortage of unexplored frontiers and deadly fiends. You'll never want for excitement, I promise you!
> This is strictly a rumor, nothing more?
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Well, the details of the contest have yet to be announced.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' But the rumors come from someone involved in the preparations, so I'd say there's more than a grain of truth to them.
> Golden city... I've heard about it before.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' So the tales have reached even these shores! I can't help but feel proud!
---

'''Erenville:''' I advise you not to put much store by these rumors. Golden cities are naught but a dreamer's fancy.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Says the dreamer who was bent on finding one when he was a child. Just because you failed doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
'''Krile:''' Tuliyollal and the golden city... Just like in the letter to Grandfather.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' Regardless of what the contest may entail, it'll be no simple thing. If I'm to triumph, I'll need capable and dependable companions.
'''Wuk Lamat:''' So let's go on a hunt together! There's no better way to get acquainted!

==Steps==
*Speak with the [[Crystarium Gatekeep]] at [[The Dossal Gate]].
*Speak with [[Lyna]].
*Speak with the [[Accommodating Official]] at [[Meghaduta]].
*Speak with [[Y'shtola]].
*Head for Meghaduta.

==Journal==
*Y'shtola has the look of a woman satisfied with her work.
*Not long after you and your comrades notify the Forum of your mission's success, Y'shtola receives a linkpearl call from Nidhana, who informs her that a great feast will be held in Radz-at-Han to celebrate Azdaja's homecoming. The members of your party are naturally invited, but before you can make your way to Thavnair, you must deliver the memoria crystal containing Zeromus's aether to your friends in the First.
*Upon arriving in the Crystarium, you present yourself to the sentry at the Dossal Gate. The man directs you to the Ocular while he goes to find Lyna and Beq Lugg.
*While they were already well aware of your triumph, your friends are no less happy to hear your personal account, having been glad to play a role in protecting the Source. They are further delighted and intrigued when you entrust to them the memoria crystal and explain Zero's idea of using it to restore balance to the First. While there is no telling if it will be possible, Beq Lugg and Ryne resolve to do their utmost to try.
*Lyna had faith that you would be victorious in the end, and she is equally certain that the people of Norvrandt will cheer when they learn the Warrior of Darkness managed to save {{alternatives|f=her|m=his}} home. She assures you that they will continue the work they've begun, and so secure in the knowledge that the fortunes of the First will surely improve, you return to the Source that you may join the celebration in Radz-at-Han.
*You arrive in time to partake of a sumptuous feast at Mehryde's Meyhane. Having had your fill, you step aside for a moment's respite and find Estinien doing likewise. The dragoon takes the opportunity to inquire as to your future plans, and when you struggle to answer, he assures you that you will know when the time is right. The two of you are then joined by Y'shtola, who muses that her coming days will be spent compiling theories on cross-rift travel. But when she turns to ask after Estinien's plans, you find that he has already silently taken his leave─as is his wont.
*Y'shtola thanks you for everything you've learned and accomplished─to have been a part of something so momentous─before taking her leave. Alone once more, you heed her suggestion and make your way to Meghaduta, there to call on Vrtra.
*You find Vrtra in the form of Varshahn, who explains that he has assumed the guise to readily escort his sister Azdaja about Radz-at-Han. Long has he dreamed of showing her his beautiful city, a glittering jewel born of unity, and he intends to relish every moment of it. The happiness in his words warms your heart, and fills your breast with pride for the part you played in reuniting siblings separated across worlds and millennia. And though Darkness yet reigns in the void, the spark of hope has been rekindled, instilling you with faith that, one day, life-giving Light will shine there once more.

'''Estinien:''' If I didn't know better, I'd say father dearest is warming to us. I've no interest in sipping tea at the family estate again, though. Drinks at the tavern, on the other hand...

'''Urianger:''' Although Master Louisoix hath left us, he liveth on in his teachings. 'Tis gratifying to see that Master Fourchenault, too, hath come to acknowledge the wisdom in them.

'''Alphinaud:''' I look forward to telling my father of our efforts in Garlemald. He will have sage counsel to offer, I'm sure.

'''Alisaie:''' You're of course welcome at our home─Mother, for one, would be thrilled to have you─but I won't twist your arm if you have other matters to attend to.

'''Atheleys:''' If I heard correctly, it seems you've saved the world yet again!

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
'''Y'shtola:''' With that, our obligations here are concluded.
''Y'shtola receives a linkpearl call from Nidhana.''
'''Y'shtola:''' Oh, Nidhana. What news from Thavnair?
'''Y'shtola:''' They've returned, then? Wonderful. Rest assured all is well with us too.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Is that so?
'''Y'shtola:''' We would be honored, of course. I shall relay this to the others.
'''Y'shtola:''' A great feast will be held in Radz-at-Han to celebrate Azdaja's homecoming. We have all been invited.
'''Alphinaud:''' I'm afraid my sister and I must decline. We have only just returned home; to leave again so soon would be inconsiderate to our parents.
'''Urianger:''' With regret, I too must excuse myself from attendance. A prior commitment requireth that I remain in Sharlayan for a time.
'''Urianger:''' Let not our absence deter you, however. Pray enjoy yourselves to the fullest.
'''Estinien:''' I've no plans in particular, so you can count me in. I may as well visit the Radiant Host while I'm there.
'''Y'shtola:''' How about you, [Forename]?

Question: What will you say?
> Far be it from me to turn down free food!
'''Y'shtola:''' That's the spirit.
'''Y'shtola:''' Ah, but what about the memoria crystal? 'Twould be remiss of us not to deliver it promptly to our friends in the First.
> I have a delivery to make to the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' Ah, of course. The memoria crystal. 'Twould be remiss of us not to deliver it promptly to our friends.
---

'''Y'shtola:''' Also, if they are to transfer Light and Dark between worlds, they will need command over the Crystal Tower.
'''Y'shtola:''' In which case, I shall give you my spirit vessel to take again. When you arrive in the Crystarium, the sentry at the tower should be able to round up everyone for you.
'''Y'shtola:''' Once you have seen to matters there, come and join us at Meghaduta.
'''Alisaie:''' Give everyone our regards, you hear?

'''Beq Lugg:''' 'Tis good to see you, [Forename]. If you're come to discuss what became of your mission, perhaps we should speak in the Ocular that Ryne and Lyna may join us.

'''Lyna:''' So the mission was a success. That is well. Let us go to the Ocular and share the glad tidings with Ryne and Beq Lugg.
-optional end

===Speak with the Crystarium gatekeep at the Dossal Gate.===
'''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Welcome back, {{alternatives|f=madam|m=sir}}. Mistress Ryne is still in the Ocular. Will you be joining her?
Question: Enter the Ocular? (Yes/No)
'''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Very good. If you would care to head inside, I shall send for Captain Lyna and Beq Lugg at once.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Beq Lugg:''' Ah yes, the king has already shared what they glimpsed in the Source. The day is won, and the danger passed.
'''Beq Lugg:''' Hearing the tidings lifted a great weight from my shoulders. Never before had I taken on such a monumental request.
'''Lyna:''' Small though it was, we are glad to have played a role in saving the Exarch's home, and yours.
'''Lyna:''' Furthermore, the endeavor served to reaffirm the bond between the peoples of Norvrandt.
'''Lyna:''' Nurturing this bond, we will strive to be an example for the world Zero aspires to restore.
''The player takes out Zeromus's memoria crystal.''
'''Ryne:''' Is that...a memoria crystal? I can feel it... The tremendous Darkness within...
'''Ryne:''' Using Darkness from the void to restore balance to this world... If such a thing could be done...!
'''Beq Lugg:''' Well, well... Though night has returned to our world, Darkness cannot arise of its own accord, much less in abundance.
'''Beq Lugg:''' But if it could be brought here in like manner to how we channeled Light to the void, it may well be possible to restore the Empty in its entirety!
''Ryne takes the memoria crystal.''
'''Beq Lugg:''' Do you still have that spirit vessel with you?
'''Beq Lugg:''' If so, I beg you loan it to me for a time. I would use it to investigate a way to have the tower receive rather than send energy.
''The player hands over the spirit vessel to Beq Lugg.''

> If the player has completed {{i|A Bounty of Hunters}}
'''Beq Lugg:''' Thank you. I shall commence my work at once in concert with Unukalhai, and rigorously explore the possibility.
> Otherwise
'''Beq Lugg:''' Thank you. While I make no promises at this stage, I shall rigorously explore the possibility.
---

'''Ryne:''' I too need to explore new possibilities for my powers. My recent experience at Nabaath Areng has taught me that.
'''Ryne:''' To that end, I will set aside botany for a time, and focus instead on myself.
'''Ryne:''' Knowing Zero is out there, doing her utmost to restore her own world... It inspires me to redouble my efforts!

> If the player has completed the [[Eden]] questline
''Gaia enters the room.''
'''Gaia:''' There you are.
'''Gaia:''' I waited and waited, but you never came. What have you been doing here?
'''Ryne:''' Gaia!
'''Gaia:''' Oh!
'''Gaia:''' Do I know you?

Question: What will you say?
>> Don't tell me you've lost your memory again?
'''Gaia:''' Oh, I'm just teasing. I wouldn't forget you in a hurry.
'''Gaia:''' I'm still keeping my diary, adding new memories to it every day.
'''Ryne:''' Not only that, Gaia's writing a story too. I can't wait for it to become a book!
>> We promised to go for coffee biscuits, remember?
Gaia: Ugh.
'''Gaia:''' I never agreed to anything of the sort.
'''Gaia:''' Besides, coffee biscuits are old news. I'd rather try something else.
'''Ryne:''' What? I thought you liked them too... Well, no matter. The Second Serving has something for every taste, so let's just go!
---

'''Gaia:''' Enough about that. What were you talking about?
'''Gaia:''' Harnessing Darkness from the void... Now there's an idea.
'''Gaia:''' Of course, if you're dealing with Darkness, Ryne alone won't cut it.
'''Gaia:''' Next time, call on me as well. All right?
---
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''Beq Lugg:''' For so long I was loath to trust in others, fearful of my research being misused again. That it may serve noble ends comes as a relief. I shall spare no effort to restore balance between Light and Dark!

:'''Ryne'''
> If the player has completed the [[Eden]] questline
'''Ryne:''' Hmm... If I had Gaia's help, I wonder if I could take in Darkness the same way Zero took in Light...
> Otherwise
'''Ryne:''' A brighter tomorrow awaits. Zero's Light will shine the way.
---

''Gaia will only appear if the player has completed the Eden questline.''
'''Gaia:''' Come to speak with Ryne, have you? Well, don't keep her for too long. I was planning a trip to Il Mheg, but knowing how devious the fae folk can be, I asked her to join me.
'''Gaia:''' I also wouldn't mind visiting Amaurot someday. It's been on my mind of late, and it would be interesting to see where those two lived in the time of the ancients, if only once.
-optional end

===Speak with Lyna.===
'''Lyna:''' It was a mighty struggle, but I had faith that you would be victorious in the end.
'''Lyna:''' And I doubt not that the people of Norvrandt will cheer when they learn that the Warrior of Darkness managed to save her home.
'''Lyna:''' I know you are a busy {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}}, so don't let us keep you. Rest assured that we will continue the work we've begun.

-optional start
'''Lyna:''' If the Crystal Tower is to be used for research, it may be prudent to bolster its security.
'''Lyna:''' It is the Exarch's legacy, and we must spare no effort to keep it safe.
-optional end

===Speak with the accommodating official at Meghaduta.===
'''Accommodating Official:''' {{alternatives|f=Mistress|m=Master}} [Surname], you honor us with your presence!
'''Accommodating Official:''' Though I am but a humble servant, I offer you my heartfelt thanks for rescuing the satrap's beloved sister.
'''Accommodating Official:''' But without further ado, the great feast to celebrate this joyous occasion is about to begin! The venue is Mehryde's Meyhane, and you are a guest of honor!

-voiced cutscene start
''The feast is being held. A child offers a meat skewer to Estinien. Nahbdeen is emotional and has had several drinks.''
'''Nahbdeen:''' It cannot be...
'''Nahbdeen:''' Oh, Varshahn, my darling little brother... To think that I will never see you again...
'''Nidhana:''' The way you carry on, anyone would think he was actually your brother...
'''Nidhana:''' Save your tears, now. His Excellency still has one of his eyes.
'''Nidhana:''' And he has made it clear he intends to continue using his vessel. You'll see Varshahn again, never fear!
'''Nahbdeen:''' Truly? But...will it be the little one?
'''Nidhana:''' Personally, I prefer the adult vessel. It cuts a gallant figure, and has superior functionality besides.
'''Nahbdeen:''' Bah, I don't care about such things!
'''Nahbdeen:''' My little brother is...
'''Nahbdeen:''' Little! And adorable!
'''Nidhana@Nidhana (no text):''' Sisters give me strength...
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis a fine thing being so loved.
''The player gets up from their table and looks out the window.''
'''Estinien:''' Had enough of the revelry, have you?
'''Estinien:''' So, what's next for our hero?
'''Estinien:''' No need to decide just yet. You'll recall our escapades in the void began with a treasure map I paid entirely too much gil for.
'''Estinien:''' You can't force an adventure. It'll happen when it happens, and you'll know when the time is right.
'''Estinien:''' Till then, it's good to lend an ear to others and their tales. And speaking of others...
'''Y'shtola:''' Discussing each other's plans, are we?
'''Y'shtola:''' Alas, I have nothing exciting to share. I foresee an extended confinement in my Sharlayan chambers, compiling my theories on cross-rift travel.
'''Y'shtola:''' My research may be classified, prohibited by the powers that be...
'''Y'shtola:''' But so long as a bond exists between people, ever shall our worlds be connected. As it stands, a means to travel to the First is within reach, and I would be satisfied even should my research not exist in an official capacity.
'''Y'shtola:''' And what of you, Estinien? Have you any plans?
''Estinien is already gone. Y'shtola chuckles.''
'''Y'shtola:''' He never was one to stay put for long. Though I've no doubt he will make himself known when needed.
''Outside, Vrtra and Azdaja take turns calling. A response is heard from the distance.''
-cutscene end

===Speak with Y'shtola.===
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Twas a lively feast, was it not? And it impressed upon me once again how dear Vrtra is to his people.
'''Y'shtola:''' Well, as much as I should like to linger, 'tis past time I took my leave. If you mean to depart as well, I suggest you call on Vrtra before setting out.
'''Y'shtola:''' And before I forget─thank you. For everything we learned, and for everything we accomplished, I couldn't be more grateful.
'''Y'shtola:''' Till next time, take care.

-optional start
'''Azdaja:''' Vrtra's friend... I thank thee.
System: Azdaja regards you with keen interest.
-optional end

===Head to Meghaduta.===
'''Varshahn:''' [Forename], I hope you enjoyed the festivities. To be able to celebrate Azdaja's return with everyone was...moving beyond words.
'''Varshahn:''' Lest you wonder, I've chosen to use this vessel for now, the better to escort my sister about Radz-at-Han.
'''Varshahn:''' This leaves my true form without an eye, but I do not anticipate having need of it in the immediate future.
'''Varshahn:''' Long have I dreamed of showing Azdaja my beautiful city, a glittering jewel born of unity. And I shall relish every moment of it.
'''Varshahn:''' Now then, I believe both Y'shtola and Estinien have embarked on their respective journeys, but have you yourself business elsewhere?
'''Varshahn:''' If not, you are welcome to remain here as long as you like. Should aught of import arise, we will inform you─but until such a day arrives, I bid you take your ease.

''Krile looks at the letter.''
'''Krile:''' Now then, let's have a look at you.
'''Krile:''' Quite old, this letter. We'll need to store it carefully.

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
'''Venat:''' Thank you again for your timely help. Now then, 'tis time I returned this stolen property.
'''Venat:''' If you would go on ahead to my accommodation, I will join you as soon as I have attended to that task.
'''Venat:''' Follow the path straight ahead to the building at the top of the slope. I have the entire place to myself, so we can speak without fear of being disturbed or overheard.

-quest accepted

-optional start
'''Hythlodaeus:''' You needn't be nervous around Venat ─ those white robes mark her as one of fair and impartial reasoning.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Aside from the emissary, Elidibus, such garb is worn only by those who have stepped down from public office to serve as advisors. Whatever you have to say, she will listen without judgment.

'''Emet-Selch:''' Yes, this will be far more comfortable than interrogating you on the side of the road.
-optional end

===Speak with Venat.===
'''Venat:''' Welcome to my temporary abode. Please, make yourself at home while I put on some tea.

-voiced cutscene start
'''Hythlodaeus:''' A wonderful aroma... I feel more relaxed already.
'''Venat:''' Would that I had sweetmeats to offer, but I travel light out of habit.
'''Venat:''' There's plenty of hot water, though, so please have as much tea as you like.
'''Venat:''' Now then...will you tell us your tale?

Question: What will you say?
> A calamity called the Final Days has befallen the world.
> The world has been sundered... broken into shards.
> Mankind is being forced to flee the star.
---

'''Emet-Selch:''' Why don't you start from the beginning?

''The player explains the existence of Hydaelyn, the Ascians, Emet-Selch's phantom Amaurot, the defeat of Zodiark, and the beginning of the second Final Days.''

'''Emet-Selch:''' Preposterous. Utterly preposterous.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' While not the words I would have chosen, I too have my doubts. Much of it borders on the incredulous.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' What of you, Venat?
'''Venat:''' Not knowing the precise details of the first Final Days, 'tis difficult to determine the veracity of the tale.
'''Venat:''' Supposing it is all true, I must ask myself why I would do what I did.
'''Venat:''' Why would I feel I had no recourse but to oppose the Fourteen and create this Hydaelyn...
'''Venat:''' Circumstances change, of course, but it would not have been an easy decision regardless.
'''Venat:''' No, there must have been a reason. One compelling enough to force me to take such drastic measures.
'''Venat:''' Then there is the Elpis flower, which I said would serve as a guide.
'''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.
'''Venat:''' But what could it be? What are we meant to accomplish?
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Might it not be simply thus?
'''Hythlodaeus:''' In the future whence {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} came, the Final Days could not be averted. Mankind has no choice but to flee the star.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' By alerting us to that eventuality, perhaps you wished to pave the way for other futures.
'''Venat:''' Theoretically speaking, it is a possibility.
'''Venat:''' Yet if that were my primary objective, I see no reason to guide our friend to Elpis specifically.
'''Venat:''' The Capitol in Amaurot, or even my own home would be more logical destinations.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' True, true... I note also that Hydaelyn did not specify a point in time to which {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} must return.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' By this, it may be inferred that it was not critical that we should meet.
'''Venat:''' Alternately, She had reason to believe that our paths would converge, coincidental though it may seem.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' This is quite a puzzle, and we do not have all the pieces...
'''Venat:''' Hardly any. But we do have one immutable fact.
'''Venat:''' If the Final Days are indeed as described, they will bring death to all that I hold dear.
'''Venat:''' Yet despite being afforded long years of preparation, the only provisions I could make were...for flight?
'''Venat:''' Nay, my first and foremost endeavor would be to find a way to forestall the coming doom.
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Given that even the Fourteen failed, mayhap you deemed it impossible.
'''Venat:''' Nothing is impossible. This, I have always believed.
'''Venat:''' And if Hydaelyn is indeed me, She would believe the same.
'''Emet-Selch:''' Listen to yourself. Are you seriously entertaining the notion that you are a messianic figure in some far-fetched tale?
'''Emet-Selch:''' Well, I will not. I refuse to accept that our world could be undone by some unforeseen calamity.
'''Emet-Selch:''' I also take offense to my portrayal as a megalomaniacal madman.
'''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.
'''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.
'''Emet-Selch:''' Worse still, I even ''invited'' you there ─ literally invited my own downfall. Why would I do something so idiotic and inexplicable?
'''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.
'''Emet-Selch:''' But I would never forsake my duty! I would never forsake my brethren!
'''Emet-Selch:''' You do not know me!
'''Emet-Selch:''' I've had my fill of your fiction. I will return to my duty...and you will not bother me again.
''Emet-Selch angrily leaves.''
'''Hythlodaeus:''' Emet-Selch! Wait!
''Hythlodaeus runs after Emet-Selch.''
'''Venat:''' You've seen much of Elpis already. If you have any observations to share, I should like to hear them.

Question: What will you say?
> Dynamis is key to all of this.
'''Venat:''' Ah yes, the energy distinct from aether. Though not my field, I have a basic understanding of dynamis.
'''Venat:''' And you say Hermes researched the phenomenon in the course of creating Meteion...Yes, I believe this warrants further investigation.
> Hermes and Meteion are somehow involved.
'''Venat:''' Hermes and his creation Meteion, you say?
'''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.
> I'm still trying to make sense of it all...
'''Venat:''' I see. Then for now, it might be best that we follow your lead and investigate he who will become Fandaniel.
'''Venat:''' And if dynamis is the selfsame energy as akasa, as it likely seems, we would do well to learn more about it.
---

'''Venat:''' With that settled, 'tis time for action.
'''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.
'''Venat:''' Suffice it to say I will aid you in your quest.
'''Venat:''' Have faith. If Emet-Selch is the man Azem described to me, we've not seen the last of him.
-cutscene end

===Speak with Venat again.===
'''Venat:''' Shall we begin our investigations, then?
'''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.
'''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...

===Speak with Venat once more.===
'''Venat:''' See you the woman standing in front of yonder building? Her name is Ismene.
'''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.
'''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.

-optional start
'''Venat:''' Let us speak with Ismene. You know more of this coming calamity, so I think it best that you lead the conversation.
-optional end

===Speak with Ismene.===
'''Ismene:''' Questions? For me? Well, I suppose I have no other pressing duties at the moment...

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Question: Begin asking questions? (Yes/No)

-cutscene start

'''Venat:''' Greetings, Ismene. My friend here is desperately curious about Chief Hermes, and I was wondering if you might indulge {{alternatives|f=her|m=him}}.
'''Ismene:''' Certainly, Mistress Venat. Anything to be of service!
'''Ismene:''' What do you wish to know?

Question: What will you say?
> What kind of person is Hermes?
'''Ismene:''' Well, I can only answer from my own experience, but...
'''Ismene:''' I would describe him as a quiet man ─ reserved, you might say ─ and occasionally somewhat poor with his choice of words.
'''Ismene:''' His reticent nature, however, does not prevent him from carrying out his duties as chief overseer.
'''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.

> What are Hermes's interests?
'''Ismene:''' ...His interests?
'''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...?
'''Venat:''' How would you describe him as a person? As a colleague?
'''Ismene:''' He is a quiet man — reserved, you might say — and occasionally somewhat poor with his choice of words.
'''Ismene:''' His reticent nature, however, does not prevent him from carrying out his duties as chief overseer.
---
'''Ismene:''' I hope that answers your question. Was there anything else?

Question: What will you say?
> How long has Meteion been here?
'''Ismene:''' I cannot rightly say... As the chief's personal creation, Meteion has not been subjected to observation and study like other concepts.
'''Venat:''' So one day, she was simply there. And what do you make of her abilities?
'''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.
'''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.
> Do you know of Meteion's abilities?
'''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.
'''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.
'''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.
---

Question: What will you say?
> Do you wish you knew him better?
'''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...
'''Ismene:''' Though if you wish to learn more about Meteion, you could try speaking with Timaios ─ another expert in the creation of flying concepts.
'''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.
> Do you trust him?
'''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...?
'''Venat:''' Forgive us, we seem to have veered slightly off course here. Is there perhaps someone else who could tell us more about Meteion?
'''Ismene:''' That would be Timaios. He has a similar expertise with flying concepts, and is more than eager to discuss the subject.
'''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.
---

'''Venat:''' We shall keep that in mind. Thank you for your patience and your insight.
'''Ismene:''' Think nothing of it. If there is aught else you need during your stay, please, do not hesitate to ask.
'''Venat:''' Come, [Forename], I think we've taken enough of Ismene's time.
-cutscene end

===Speak with Venat.===
'''Venat:''' Our investigation is off to a fine start, wouldn't you agree?
'''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.
> If Venat interjected at any point while talking to Ismene
'''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.
> If the player lead the dialogue without Venat helping
'''Venat:''' Given how you steered that previous conversation, 'tis plain you need no assistance from me.
---
'''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.

-optional start
'''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.

'''Ismene:''' You are a familiar, yes? Belonging to Mistress Venat? You couldn't have been blessed with a finer master.
-optional end

===Search for Timaios.===
'''Timaios:''' Yes, yes, I am Timaios, but please keep your voice down. You'll startle the birds.

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Question: Begin asking questions? (Yes/No)

-cutscene start
'''Timaios:''' ...So, what is it you wished to speak about?

Question: What will you say?
> Is it true you're an expert on flying creations?
'''Timaios:''' A fellow enthusiast, are you? Well, settle in, and we can discuss the finer points of this fascinating craft!
'''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...
System: Timaios launches into a rambling and unstoppable discourse...
'''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!
'''Timaios:''' An abridged recounting of events, as was doubtless to your disappointment. Is there any specific part you would like me to expound upon...?
'''Timaios:''' ...Hm? You were hoping for my opinion on Chief Hermes's creations? Then why didn't you say so!?
> What do you think of Chief Hermes's flying creations?
'''Timaios:''' Chief Hermes's work? A worthy subject, indeed...
---
'''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.
'''Timaios:''' What sets the chief's creations apart, however, is how they benefit from his boundless knowledge of the celestial realm.
'''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...
'''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.

Question: What will you say?
> Why not mimic his process?
'''Timaios:''' What!? You mean ''plagiarize''!?
'''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...
System: Timaios launches into a rambling and unstoppable diatribe...
'''Timaios:''' ...And such an unconscionable, disgraceful act would be deserving of the utmost scorn!
'''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.
> Meteion, too, is a marvel, then?
'''Timaios:''' My opinion on that matter would be superficial at best...
'''Timaios:''' Despite my admiration for Meteion as a concept, I have never delved too deeply into the inner workings of her nature.
---
'''Timaios:''' I know that she has a gift for communicating via emotions, but otherwise, her abilities are a mystery to me.
'''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.
'''Timaios:''' Of course, if he came to me ─ a fellow artisan ─ looking for advice, that would be an entirely different story.

Question: What will you say?
> Do you know of dynamis and entelechies?
'''Timaios:''' Dynamis and...entelechies?
'''Timaios:''' Those terms do sound vaguely familiar... Was there not a flower made here in Elpis which exhibited properties of one or the other?
'''Timaios:''' It must have been ''centuries'' since I last heard anyone speak of such things. Has there been a resurgence in interest?
> I could tell you more of Meteion's nature, if you like?
'''Timaios:''' No, no, no! Did I not just explain how that was frowned upon!? I couldn't possibly circumvent conventional practice by...
'''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...
System: Timaios launches into a rambling and unstoppable deluge of justifications...
'''Timaios:''' ...So you see, ethically I have no choice but to allow you to disclose Meteion's lesser-known qualities!
'''Timaios:''' Dynamis and...entelechies?
'''Timaios:''' Those terms do sound vaguely familiar... Was there not a flower made here in Elpis which exhibited properties of one or the other?
'''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?
---
'''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.

'''Timaios:''' Now, I really must return to my observations. Surely you have your own tasks to attend to?
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''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.
-optional end

===Speak with Venat.===
> If the player did not select any responses that led to Timaios rambling
'''Venat:''' Back already? That was quick work. You were obviously clever enough to head off any of that “rambling” Ismene mentioned.
> If the player selected 1-2 responses that led to Timaios rambling
'''Venat''': Ah, good timing. I finished my own investigations not long ago.
> If the player selected 3 responses that led to Timaios rambling
'''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.
---

'''Venat:''' So, have you any new findings to share?
'''Venat:''' I see. Even an expert in the field had little understanding of Meteion's capabilities, let alone an awareness of dynamis.
'''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.
'''Venat:''' Which leads me to believe that the only person with any significant knowledge of dynamis is Hermes himself.
'''Venat:''' Yes, we've made some progress here...but more information is needed if we are to reach any definitive conclusions.

==Journal==
*An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.

*At Revenant's Toll, an oddly garbed visitor informs you of a rare opportunity to uncover the wisdom of the ancients. Make your way to Saint Coinach's Find and speak with the site's chief supervisor, Rammbroes, whom the stranger believes would welcome the services of a storied champion such as yourself.

*Upon arriving at your destination, you find the Sons of Saint Coinach making preparations for an expedition into the forbidding Crystal Tower-- aided by your old friend Cid Garlond. Speak with Rammbroes when you are ready to assist in the Sons' mission to understand and preserve the potent technology of the fallen Allagan Empire.

*According to Rammbroes, the entrance to the Crystal Tower is guarded by potent elemental defenses which will need to be circumvented before any expedition into the structure can be attempted. Cid's research suggests that the wrath of the elements can theoretically be reflected by crystals of sufficient clarity. Unfortunately, such flawless specimens are most likely to be found in the midst of the various beast tribe strongholds, and will not be had without a fight. It falls to you to obtain a flawless earth crystal from the U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea, and a flawless water crystal from the Sapsa Spawning Grounds in western La Noscea.

*You have wrested the flawless crystals from the clutches of the kobolds and the Sahagin. Deliver your prizes to Rammbroes where he awaits you at Saint Coinach's Find.

*After taking receipt of the two flawless crystals you acquired in La Noscea, Rammbroes asks that you seize the equivalent fire-and-wind-aspected specimens held by the Amalj'aa and the Ixal. Obtain a flawless fire crystal from Zahar'ak in southern Thanalan, and a flawless wind crystal from Natalan in the Coerthas central highlands.

*You succeed in infiltrating the strongholds of the Amalj'aa and the Ixal, and escape with the beastmen's flawless fire and wind crystals. Deliver them both to Rammbroes at Saint Coinach's Find.

*Thanks to your daring forays into the beastmen's strongholds, the Sons of Saint Coinach now possess flawless crystals of each of the four elements. If they are to be relied upon to reflect the wrath of the tower's sentinels, however, the crystals must be cut and polished to exacting specifications. According to Rammbroes, this process calls for certain extraordinary materials. Clearly, much work remains to be done.
