Journal

  • The royal seneschal is eager to recruit others to join in the festivities.

※This quest is available for a limited time only.

  • Little Ladies' Day has come to Eorzea once again, and after speaking with the royal seneschal, you agree to join his quest to see that no young woman goes without a smile on her face. Lady Aldiytha of House Thorne, ever a proponent of this special day, appears to know just where to start. She tells you of a downcast Lalafell with flaxen hair, whom she spied among the festive crowds, and enlists your aid in finding her. Hurry to Emerald Avenue, that you might find this troubled soul and set her heart at ease.
  • One of Ul'dah's citizens informs you that he spotted a Lalafell with flaxen hair just moments before you spoke with him. He recalls her despondent air, which stood out against the cheerful crowds around her. He says she plodded off towards the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Continue following her trail of sorrow.
  • The next citizen you speak with tells a familiar story: she caught sight of a forlorn young Lalafell trudging through Ul'dah, this time in the direction of the Gold Court.
  • Once again you find yourself a step behind, as a bystander tells you of the girl he saw ascending to the Hustings Strip. However, an end may be near, as he surmises that the girl is likely a patient at Frondale's Phrontistery, which is but a short distance from your present location.
  • Near the entrance to Frondale's Phrontistery you finally find the young Lalafell. Although she is frightened at first, the girl calms after Aldiytha explains your purpose. The girl introduces herself as Momoru, and relates to you the tragic tale of her friend Lorie, who had planned to celebrate Little Ladies' Day with Momoru but was forced to stay inside the Phrontistery after a sudden onset of her illness. Lady Aldiytha is moved by Lorie's plight, and proposes bringing the merriment to Lorie and the other children in the ward. Momoru's spirits brighten upon hearing the idea, but first you must obtain permission from Damielliot, director of the Phrontistery.
  • You have arrived at Frondale's Phrontistery, and must now seek out Damielliot. Speak with the Phrontistery alchemist to enter the children's ward.
  • Damielliot readily agrees to bring the celebrations to the Phrontistery, and hatches a plan to shift the timing of the children's scheduled examinations so that you and the others have ample time to acquire decorations and furnish the ward. He asks you to summon each of the children to the examination room while he makes the necessary preparations.
  • The children- although somewhat unwillingly- make their way to the examination room, leaving the ward unoccupied save for Damielliot and the others, who make plans to acquire the necessary decorations. In the meantime, you have been tasked with inviting a certain guildmaster to the ward. Momoru is ready to depart to the Weavers' Guild to seek an audience with Redolent Rose.
  • Momoru tells you of the long nights Lorie has spent fawning over Redolent Rose's designs and thread work, and hopes that a visit from him will serve to improve her friend's condition more than any medicine ever could. Eager to meet the guildmaster in the flesh, she hurries to the Weavers' Guild, bidding you to follow.
  • Redolent Rose, ever willing to foster the interest of budding weavers, agrees to speak with Lorie without hesitation. He will meet you at Frondale's Phrontistery after first taking care of some pressing matters.
  • You return to the Phrontistery to see it adorned with trimmings whose grandeur rivals that of a peach tree in full bloom. Speak with everyone gathered before starting the party in earnest.
  • Not long after you arrive, Redolent Rose follows, and Lorie is surprised as she is delighted to see her idol in the flesh. Lady Aldiytha presents the other children with gifts: hair ornaments made with peach blossoms, which are said to ward off sickness. She also presents Damielliot with a monocle, in homage to the royal physician whom the sultan sent to care for his princess so many Little Ladies' Days ago. The party is off to a great start, and it is time to mingle.
  • Momoru is a changed Lalafell, and all trace of the sadness which once shrouded her has vanished. She thanks you and welcomes you to return to the children's ward so long as Little Ladies' Day is being observed. Lady Aldiytha, although overjoyed to see the smiles of the children, regretfully informs you that she must return to her manor before her family begins to fuss over her absence. Before departing, however, Aldiytha bids you speak with Damielliot to receive your own special gift.
  • Damielliot adds his thanks before presenting your reward: a wreath of peach blossoms and a monocle. Although Little Ladies' Day may eventually come to an end, these mementos will serve to keep its spirit alive and well all year round.
