A poor farmer named Addison claims his only daughter was captured and taken away by the Lambs of Dalamud─a frightening cult which, even after the fall of the lesser moon, still offers blood sacrifices to their false god in hopes of currying his favor. The farmer seeks aid in reclaiming that which was ripped from his hands.

Dialogue

(- Twin-tongued Addison -): Won't anyone save my daughter!?
Twin-tongued Addison: My daughter! They've taken my daughter!
Twin-tongued Addison: There were four of them, all dressed in robes redder than a hunter's moon. They called themselves the Lambs of Dalamud and assured me she would not be harmed, but I've heard the rumors. I know about the blood sacrifices to their pagan god!
Twin-tongued Addison: Please, milord! I beg of thee! I am but an old man, but you—you can rescue my daughter from the grim fate that awaits her.
System: Hunt down the kidnappers?
System: ※The recommended level for this FATE is 49.
A1: Yes
Twin-tongued Addison: I will be forever in debt to you, milord!
A1: No
Twin-tongued Addison: First my wife...then my sons...and now my daughter...<sob>
Twin-tongued Addison: The Lambs of Dalamud cannot be far. Find them and save my poor daughter. She has only seen but sixteen summers!
Milburh: No! Stay away!
Milburh: Oh... Are you not one of them? Then you must help me! Quickly, before they return!

On Failure

(- Milburh -): Dalamud still thirsts.
(- Twin-tongued Addison -): Then we shall return on the morrow.

Historical

Upon the full release of A Realm Reborn in August 2013, it was discovered that Lunatic Priest and Lunatic Follower enemies in this FATE's active area instantaneously respawned infinitely so long as the objective enemies, Lunatic Lambs, were not killed. Players participating in this exploit could attain Experience Point chains over 100 and could finish this FATE having earned over Experience 100,000 EXP, a substantial amount at the time. Players who killed the Lambs often faced a torrent of abuse for their actions.[1] The FATE was fixed in a hotfix in October 2013.[2]
