Steps

Journal

  • Drest has been saving for years so that he can buy passage back to his homeland. However, he yet requires more funds to make his dream become reality. To that end, he asks that you bring him several jungle coeurl hides, which he can sell for a tidy sum. Hunt down and slay four of the beasts for their prized pelts.
  • You have successfully skinned four jungle coeurls. Deliver their hides to Drest.
  • The hermit confesses that he is an imperial deserter, though he himself is not Garlean. The Empire conquered his native lands, and he holds no ill will towards the people of Eorzea. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to come to Vylbrand, where he now toils in secret so that one day he might return home.

Dialogue

Drest

Do...do you have any children? I've a...a son and a daughter. They were so little when I left... They probably think I'm dead.

I've been saving for years to...to buy passage back home somehow. But...still not enough. Maybe...maybe you could bring me some jungle coeurl skins? I...I can sell them. I just...I just want to go home...

Please... Even a few skins would help...

You...you helped me. Even after what my comrades and I did to your country...

We were on a reconnaissance mission when the Maelstrom caught us by surprise. We tried to escape, but the others... N-No one else survived.

I didn't ask for this, dammit! I'm not even Garlean! They conquered my lands just like they tried to conquer yours!

I...I don't want to die in some blasted jungle halfway around the world...

I just...I just want to go home...
