{{Dialogue|<nowiki><br />
===Accepting the quest===<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' We must make haste. My absence will not go unnoticed by the Sultansworn for long, and there are other places I would visit. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' To the Arrzaneth Ossuary! <br />
<br />
-quest accepted<br />
<br />
===Speaking with Nanamo at Arrzaneth Ossuary===<br />
-cutscene start<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' When the Calamity threatened, Raubahn led the Alliance forces into battle on the plains of Carteneau. And I remained here. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I prayed with all my heart that Archon Louisoix would have the power to rouse the Twelve. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Since that day, I have made a custom of visiting this shrine during each of my little excursions. Here, I seek the blessing of Thal, reflect upon my choices, and ask myself if I am fulfilling my duties as sultana. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' You are rightly celebrated as a champion because you have led the line in a hundred battles for the good of Eorzea. In much the same way, I believe the measure of a monarch lies in how she leads her people in times of adversity. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' If I am to be a sultana worthy of the name, I cannot turn a blind eye to the troubles facing Ul'dah. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I have chosen my path, [Forename]. With Ala Mhigo now freed from imperial chains, I finally see a way to aid the refugees. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Already, many displaced Ala Mhigans seek to begin the long trek home. <br />
> If the player has completed {{i|A Royal Request}}<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' And as you well know, our artisans' school shall be waiting to accept any who wish to learn new trades. Realistically however, it will take years for such training to yield tangible benefits<br />
>Otherwise<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' To facilitate that process, I have made a small contribution—an artisan's school in Rhalgr's Reach for any who wish to learn new trades. Realistically, however, it will take years for such training to yield tangible benefits.<br />
---<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' But we do not have years. These people will need shelter and employment if they are to survive, and ''this time'' the Ul'dahn treasury shall provide! <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Precisely where and how to allocate the necessary funds is, of course, another question... <br />
<br />
Question: What will you say? <br />
<br />
> Might you ask a member of the Syndicate for advice? <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' A wise suggestion. Mayhap a visit to the Gold Saucer is in order. Its proprietor is a member of the Syndicate, and he is one of the few who pay refugees a fair wage. <br />
<br />
> Why not seek the advice of one who employs refugees? <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' A wise suggestion. Mayhap a visit to the Gold Saucer is in order. Its proprietor is a member of the Syndicate, and he is one of the few who pay refugees a fair wage. <br />
<br />
> ... <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' ...Nothing? Hmm... If even one of your worldly experience is at a loss, it would seem I have no choice but to seek out someone more well versed in monetary matters...<br />
---<br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I wonder, are you acquainted with Godbert Manderville? <br />
<br />
> If the player has met Godbert Manderville in [[Hildibrand Adventures]]<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Then I need not explain his eccentric nature. Let us make our way to the landing, and I will see that word is sent to the Gold Saucer. Godbert should be only too glad to receive us. <br />
<br />
> Otherwise<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Ah, well he is a most generous man...if something of an eccentric. Let us make our way to the landing, and I will see that word is sent to the Gold Saucer. Godbert should be only too glad to receive us.<br />
---<br />
-cutscene end<br />
<br />
===Speaking with Nanamo at the airship landing===<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I have ridden aboard a public airship before, but this shall be my first visit to the Gold Saucer. I must confess to some excitement!<br />
<br />
-optional start<br />
'''Blithesome Businessman:''' I've never had such fun! That Manderville chap certainly spared no expense with that saucer of his!<br />
-optional end<br />
<br />
===Speaking with Nanamo at the Gold Saucer===<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I had heard descriptions of its splendor, yet I never dreamed it would be so bright and inviting... <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' N-No! I couldn't possibly—! We did not come here to fritter away the royal coin! <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Godbert will be expecting us. Come, let us head ''directly'' to the lounge and ignore these...these...gaudy temptations! <br />
<br />
===Speaking with Nanamo===<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I believe this is where we are to meet Lord Manderville. Shall we sit while we await his coming? <br />
<br />
-cutscene start<br />
'''Godbert:''' My apologies, Your Grace, I have kept you waiting! <br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' No apologies are necessary, Godbert. My request was sudden, and you were kind to make yourself available at such short notice. <br />
<br />
> If the player has met Godbert Manderville<br />
'''Godbert:''' When the intrepid [Forename] [Surname] and the sultana herself come calling, there is no more important engagement! <br />
<br />
> Otherwise<br />
'''Godbert:''' When the sultana herself comes calling, there is no more important engagement! <br />
---<br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' As to the purpose of my visit, I would have your thoughts on how the crown might best aid the refugees residing in Thanalan. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' You are aware, I am sure, that many of the Ala Mhigo's displaced sons and daughters long to return to their newly liberated homeland. And you are also aware of how they will suffer without shelter and work to sustain them. <br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I would use our nation's wealth to spare them that suffering. What advice have you for me on the matter of how it might best be distributed? <br />
<br />
'''Godbert:''' ...The unusual circumstances of our meeting, and Your Grace's choice of companion, would suggest to me a desire for an honest and unvarnished opinion. I shall give you one. <br />
'''Godbert:''' My advice to you is: "Stop." Taxing Ul'dah's wealth to save Ala Mhigan refugees is a terrible, terrible idea. <br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' You ''oppose'' my proposition? <br />
<br />
'''Godbert:''' Most emphatically. I agree with Your Grace that the refugees must have housing and employment, but what profit is there for Ul'dah in this arrangement? <br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' ''Profit''? After all you have done for Gyr Abania's displayed, I thought you the very last person to seek to benefit from their misfortune! <br />
<br />
'''Godbert:''' Forgive me, Your Grace, but you appear to be laboring under a misapprehension. <br />
'''Godbert:''' It is a fine endeavor to support one's fellow man. I fear, however, that your stance is one born of pity—your intent is to "save" the refugees, is it not? <br />
'''Godbert:''' For all our potential, we are indolent creatures by nature. If unconditional charity is all we know, then we begin to rely upon it—to expect it. <br />
'''Godbert:''' And then we must consider Ul'dah's own poor and downtrodden. Should they hear of you spending the nation's coin—not to improve their lot, but to nurture the distance citizens of Ala Mhigo—it is unlikely they will applaud your generosity. <br />
'''Godbert:''' Surely it is not Your Grace's intention to foster new resentments, but to spread goodwill? <br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Indeed.<br>...Then any support I pledge to the refugees must promote self-sufficiency, whilst also serving the interests of the people of Ul'dah. <br />
<br />
'''Godbert:''' Exactly so! Such an arrangement will create a far more equitable relationship with the returning Ala Mhigans, even as it generates the revenue required to win the approval of your subjects. <br />
<br />
'''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' You have given me much to ponder, Lord Manderville. I thank you for your candor.<br />

===Phase 1===<br />
Metem: The president must pay for his crimes! Give him what for, Champion! (''upon pull'')<br />
Metem: His arm has a life of its own! Is this the power of the mythical Lindwurm? (''Grotesquerie: Act 1'')<br />
Metem: Oh no, the gore has latched onto the champion! Don't panic!<br />
Metem: His arm is slithering out! That's disgusting! (''Ravenous Reach'')<br />
Metem: Watch out! That is one cruel coil... (''Cruel Coil'')<br />
Metem: Oh no! The champion's been crushed! (''If a player is hit by Constriction'')<br />
Metem: Dear me, the ring's in pieces! (''Bring Down the House'')<br />
Metem: What the—? Could the Lindwurm's regeneration be out of control!? (''after second Slaughtershed'')<br />
Metem: His power continues to run amok! Again and again he remakes his arms! (''after third Slaughtershed'')<br />
Metem: Yes, you've got the serpent on the back tail! Press the advantage and finish this! (''Refreshing Overkill enrage'')<br />
<br />
===Cutscene===<br />
Metem: The battle is decided! Victory goes to the champion!<br />
Metem: Hm? Is that...the Lindwurm's heart?<br />
Metem: It's pulsating... I've got a bad feeling about this!<br />
-voiced cutscene start<br />
Metem: It's contorting... Transforming!<br />
Metem: Snakes alive! It's the birth of a new Lindwurm!<br />
-cutscene end<br />
<br />
===Phase 2===<br />
Metem: Alas, the battle isn't over yet... But don't despair, Champion! (''upon pull'')<br />
Metem: The Lindwurm is creating more of itself! (''Replication - clones divide'')<br />
Metem: Some curious props have appeared! What could they possibly be? (''Staging'')<br />
Metem: Egads, they've taken on the champion's form! This bodes ill! (''Replication 2'')<br />
Metem: Uh, I've got a serious case of deja vu here... (''during Reenactment'')<br />
Metem: The mutation is corrupting the champion! Let's hope they keep it together! (''Blood Mana'')<br />
Metem: Something's coming... Stay on your toes! (''Mana Spheres spawn'')<br />
Metem: Woah, what is this place? Did the Lindwurm warp the very fabric of space and time? (''Staging after Idyllic Dream cast'')<br />
Metem: Is this another dimension? I must confess, I'm utterly bewildered... (''Replication - blue arena'')<br />
Metem: What destructiveness! The ring has been rent in two! (''after Downfall'')<br />
Metem: We appear to have completely left the realm of logic behind. (''player-targeted Heavy Slams / Mana Bursts resolve'')<br />
Metem: I'm not sure I understand what's going on anymore, folks. (''after Temporal Curtain'')<br />
Metem: Something that defies all comprehension is unfolding before our very eyes! (''clone-targeted Heavy Slams / Mana Bursts resolve'')<br />
Metem: A relentless assault! The champion is hard-pressed (''after first Arcadian Hell'')<br />
Metem: The battle has reached a fever pitch! But the champion still stands! (''after second Arcadian Hell'')<br />
Metem: There's so many of them... Stay strong, I beg you! (''final Arcadian Hell enrage'')<br />
