Dialogue
I'm sure the others will be along shortly. I do hope everyone has rested well.
Now that we have refreshed ourselves somewhat, let us consider all claimants as they currently stand.
Zoraal Ja and Koana have completed every feat thus far and hold five keystones apiece.
Wuk Lamat would be equal with them but for Bakool Ja Ja's thievery, which has left us one short.
That conniving braggart didn't so much as lift a finger for the Feat of Proof and wreaked havoc for the Feat of Ice. He can't have more than three keystones at most.
He may think he can simply steal what he needs to win, but he's sorely mistaken. I will be taking back what is mine─this I swear!
I fear that reclaiming your keystone may not be enough─that is, if Bakool Ja Ja's unleashing of Valigarmanda is any indication.
Using his lead, I anticipate that he will move to obtain the remaining keystones before disrupting his rivals' attempts.
We may all find ourselves being forced to take from one another.
I can't say I'd be comfortable with that.
But neither will I surrender my claim to the throne so easily. If it's for the sake of preserving the happiness of my people, I'll do what I must!
The last two keystones we require are those of the Lay of Repast and the Lay of the Brotherhood.
The former depicts the cessation of hostilities between the Mamool Ja and Xbr'aal in the forests of Yak T'el. Specifically near a village called Iq Br'aax.
That's where I was born, if you recall. I haven't been back there since Papa took me in when I was a baby.
Where the Lay of the Brotherhood takes place, however, is unclear. In the saga, it is said that a foreign explorer came seeking an audience with the Dawnservant...but little more than that.
Eorzea has a similar tale─the explorer Ketenramm befriended a two-headed king known as the Autarch before commencing his travels across Tural.
He journeyed here several times afterwards but was ultimately lost at sea. At least, that is the commonly held belief.
Your two-headed king certainly sounds like Papa. So this Ketenramm fellow must have come to Tuliyollal!
But if he indeed arrived some eighty years ago, the capital may not have been built yet. Vestiges of Yok Huy architecture notwithstanding.
Wait─you said “Autarch,” didn't you? Then Ketenramm must have met the Dawnservant in Mamook!
Mamook... Is that a city?
One of the grandest in Tural, once upon a time─and the seat of the Mamool Ja's homeland. It too lies in Yak T'el, not far from Iq Br'aax.
Then all things considered, Yak T'el seems the obvious choice for our next destination.
From here, the safest method of travel is by dirigible. We should make for the landing once our preparations are complete.
W-We're riding in one of Koana's balloons? ...They can't be any worse than ships, can they?
I-It'll be fine...just...fine...
Yak T'el... Where the Yok Huy dreamt of the golden city...
Ready to leave when you are.
How exciting! The design of Turali dirigibles intrigues me. I must note how they perform compared to Eorzean airships...
For as much as I wish we could ignore him, Bakool Ja Ja is a real threat. We can't afford to let our guard down.
The next flight to Yak T'el will be leaving shortly. Passengers are asked to keep hands, legs, and luggage inside the dirigible at all times.
A-Are we sure that thing will stay in the air? ...All the way to Yak T'el!?
A-Are you ready!? Bags packed and, er, good-byes said!? There's no going back once we lift off!
N-Not that I'm nervous or anything. I'm just making sure that you're not nervous!
Oh, who am I kidding...my knees won't stop shaking. Hey, will you hold my hand? J-Just until I've settled my nerves.
What will you say?
Of course.
Maybe ask Erenville?
You're the nicest person I've ever met, Forename. I'll try not to crush your hand...
That stick-in-the-mud!? He'd never let me live it down!
There she is! Third Promise, wait just a moment!
Mablu and Tobli! Of course, of course─I'll wait as long as you need!
Sorry to delay you, but we were able to discover the origin of Krile's earring!
Is that so?
You said before that it gained popularity in Yok Tural as a protective ward for travelers, correct?
That's right! We tracked down the elderly merchant to whom first sales are attributed.
According to him, the design imitates an accessory worn by a foreign mage he met at market some twenty years ago. Little did he know that charming taste of salt would prove to be a commercial triumph!
A foreign mage wearing this earring could only be Grandfather. Did the merchant happen to mention which market?
One in Yak T'el─to where it seems you are already bound.
What luck. Then I shall seek my next clue once we arrive.
Is it mere coincidence that brought my grandfather there? Or...
Yet another discovery to look forward to.
Thank you both for coming all this way.
Anything for the Third Promise! Good luck with the rest of the rite!
Th-Thanks! I won't let you down. I've just got to board this dirigible and...and I'm as good as there!
Last call for passengers to Yak T'el!
...I really hope she wins.
Yak T'el will test her mettle, without a doubt.
The next Dawnservant must be willing to bear the full weight of this nation's history...no matter how heavy it may be.
Would it kill Erenville to give me the benefit of the doubt? Or the benefit of a second chance?
I can hardly fathom how difficult travel must have been before the Second Promise introduced dirigibles. Can you imagine having to walk all this way?
Well, that journey was delightful. The wind was fair and the vessel hardly rocked at all.
Worry not─Krile and I will ensure our Promise doesn't wind up at the bottom of one of these cenotes.
With thicker vegetation comes reduced visibility. I advise you to keep someone in sight at all times.
See? No tumbles! ...Thanks to Krile and Alisaie, but it still counts.
For all of Erenville's insistence, I have yet to discover anything particularly blue about this forest.
Is that Iq Br'aax over there, I wonder?
Take care not to get separated. I'd hate to lose you to this rampant undergrowth.
Good, everyone's accounted for.
Iq Br'aax is up ahead. Let's be on our way.
Hah! I've fallen into High Tide Harbor enough times to be a professional diver─there's no way I'd fall into something like this on accident!
Are all cenotes this deep, I wonder?
What's so blue about this forest? You'll see.
Just so you know, I shall be very cross if you push me.
Erenville was not exaggerating about the cenotes. It would be a grueling ordeal to climb out of one.
Well, thankfully we made it here without incident. Let's not dally any longer.
Cutscene 1
It is here, where the Xbr'aal and Mamool Ja once battled for dominance, that the rite of succession would reach its climax...
The fierce Xbr'aal hunters who laid claim to this land call it the azure forest─Yak T'el.
Battered by meteors in ancient times and colored mesmerizing shades of blue and green by nature, it is easy to understand why the place is so named.
Are you all right?
I've never been good with heights...
The vegetation is far denser than in Kozama'uka.
I suggest you pay more attention to the ground unless you want to walk straight into a cenote.
Sinkholes filled with rain and groundwater. Many meteors fell here long ago, it is said, and after they struck the earth, it became susceptible to erosion.
Deep as some of the pits are, you'll not climb out in a hurry should you take a tumble.
A cenote?
So don't take a tumble.
It was one time...
Is the Xbr'aal community depicted in the Lay of Repast close by?
Aye. We need but follow the path a short way west.
Right, I can't stand here with my knees knocking forever. Let's get going!
