==Steps==
*Reflect on the path you have walked at the Last Vigil.

*Search Foundation for people in distress.

*Speak with Myste.

*Speak with Millie.

*Wait with Millie in the Pillars.

*Rendezvous with Myste at Falcon's Nest.

*Follow Myste.

*Use Souleater to consume the swirling abyss.

*Follow Sidurgu.

==Journal==
*Sidurgu is looking grim and dark as ever.

*In the wake of the Dragonsong War, Ishgard enjoys a new era of peace and prosperity─an era that you were instrumental in bringing about through deeds great and small. Yet the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow. There is still a need for those willing to disregard norms and laws and serve a higher purpose. A justice for all, at any cost, no matter how steep.

*For all your victories, for all your accomplishments, you cannot turn your mind from the failures. From the mistakes and missteps, and the lives forever extinguished. For those we have lost... For those we have lost...

*Sidurgu and Rielle find you deep in thought at the Last Vigil, and as you speak of past events, the sound of breaking glass rings out from everywhere and nowhere. Your soul crystal has split in twain, and you now hold only one half. A young boy with long flowing hair and a somber demeanor reveals himself to you as the party responsible, having sought to harness the aether of nearby natural sources for his own ends. Apologizing profusely, Myste promises to return it to you...after he has used a portion to aid others. His purpose, he claims, is to free those touched by sadness and despair from their burdens. Sidurgu is incredulous, and rightfully so, for the boy is a liar, but you and Rielle are willing to go along with his plan. And so you go begin your search for people in need of succor in Foundation.

*By the broken statue of Saint Valeroyant you observe a woman named Millie imploring a stonemason in vain to resume his work. After he leaves, you approach her and learn that she is the cousin of Ser Ignasse de Vesnaint, a knight of the Heavens' Ward whom you brought to justice along with his goodly brothers and their beloved archbishop. Sparing her that cruel truth, you listen as Millie tells you of her cousin's wish to restore the statue of Saint Valeroyant, and her desire to see it through in his honor. Alas, her cousin's reputation has become an impediment─predictably─and she lacks the necessary funds.

*Myste knows you have found a poor unfortunate soul ere you speak. With a smile, he runs off to make the wrong things right.

*Millie wants more than anything to see her cousin Ignasse again, but she knows she will not, for he walks in Halone's halls. Hearing this, Myste bids her think of him, of every moment and memory they shared, and to hold that image of him in her mind's eye...and then to go and wait for him in a quiet place. Hesitantly, she agrees, and you escort her to a garden to the south of the Tribunal in the Pillars.

*Sidurgu, Rielle, and Myste soon join you in the garden, along with a most unexpected guest. Ser Ignasse de Vesnaint, honored knight of the Heavens' Ward, a man you know with the utmost certainty to be dead stands before you, alive and well. But surely such a thing cannot be possible? Millie is overjoyed to be reunited with her cousin, and they share a tender moment as he thanks her for her unwavering dedication to his dream. Regrettably, they dare not converse at length, for as a knight of the Heavens' Ward, he is at risk so long as he remains in Ishgard. Thus do your comrades depart for Falcon's Nest with Ser Ignasse.

*Myste waits for you, alone, and tells you that the others have ventured out into the wastes of Coerthas. Time is of the essence, for the further they take Ignasse from Millie, the weaker he will become, the boy says.

*The deception is lain bare. Ignasse was naught more than a simulacrum born of Millie's memories and your soul crystal's aether. As the memory fades, so too does the magick, and so the knight has been reduced to a swirling abyss. Deep within, you catch sight of a faint, flickering flame, and on the edge of hearing, a whisper speaks of secrets and sins and lies...

*That which was taken has been reclaimed, but we are not yet whole. Myste has returned only a portion of your aether. Once more he entreats you for forgiveness, so desperately he desires it. Four more times must he do this. Four more times must he employ his powers to make broken men and women whole, so burdened by his deeds he is. Again you consent to the plan for...reasons. Sidurgu, defeated, bids you all return to Falcon's Nest to discuss your next step.

*Sidurgu bemoans his lot as guardian of not one but two youths. Yet times are changing, and perhaps dark knights must change with them and seek new ways to follow their creed. Four more times must you humor the boy to reclaim the remainder of your aether. But, for now, Sid could do with a drink. Or a nap. Or one, and then the other.
**※The next dark knight quest will be available from Sidurgu upon reaching level 63.

==Dialogue==
{{section-stub|quest|reason=Dialogue, related-npcs and cutscene-npcs need review}}

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
Sidurgu: Ah, [Forename]. Fellow master of the dark arts. And yet that is but one of the many faces you wear.
Sidurgu: Slayer of Gods. Rider of Dragons. Savior of Ishgard. A hero by any measure who stood against Nidhogg on the Steps of Faith when others fled.
Sidurgu: A hero who walks in light and fights for great causes...and a knight who walks in darkness and fights for the forgotten. A contradiction, some might say.
Sidurgu: Rubbish, ''I'' say, but you tell me. Do you yet walk the path?

Question: What will you say?

> So long as innocents suffer, I will not forsake the abyss.
> If I must forsake the abyss to serve the Light, then so be it.
---

Sidurgu: ...I thought not. Then let us speak as comrades.
Sidurgu: Ishgard has seen much change in recent days, and many proclaim it to be the dawning of a new era of peace and prosperity. An enlightened age...yet as we both know, the brighter the light, the deeper the shadows.
Sidurgu: As dark knights, we must remain vigilant for injustice, and be ever ready to defend the weak and downtrodden. Now more than ever.
Sidurgu: It has been a while since we patrolled the streets of our fair city—felt the cobbles beneath our boots and so forth. A tour from the top might be in order. Why don't we start at the Last Vigil?
Sidurgu: ...I was not aware that they were mutually exclusive, but you would know better than any. Go well, friend.
Sidurgu: I should be glad if there is no call for us to draw our swords this day, but do not doubt that there are still evil men in this city... In any event, we shall join you at the Last Vigil anon.

Rielle: (...If you ask me, it's just an excuse to spend time together.)

System: As you look on Fortemps Manor, you but reflect upon your time in Ishgard. The comrades with whom you traveled, and those lost along the way...

Sidurgu: Hm? You seem distracted... Ah, right. You were a ward of House Fortemps.

Question: What will you say?

> Once upon a time...
> No longer.
---

Sidurgu: No, I suppose not...
Sidurgu: Huh? Damndest thing, but I swear I heard something in your pack break...
Sidurgu: Bloody hells, is that your soul crystal!? What happened to the other half?

Myste@???: Forgive me. It seems I am the one responsible...

Sidurgu: ...I do not know you, boy. Name yourself.

Myste: ...Myste, my lord.

Sidurgu: ...Hm. I'm no lord, and you're no Myste. Don't think I wouldn't know a bastard of the Brume by sight.

Myste: I have a power. A power which I can use to help those in need.
Myste: Alas, this power requires a tremendous quantity of aether. I thought to draw on natural sources nearby, but in so doing, I stole a portion of that contained within your crystal...
Myste: Forgive me... Please, forgive me... I will return it to you, I promise, but I must first ask that you allow me to use a portion!

Rielle: ...Myste, was it? Who do you want to help?

Myste: Anyone. Everyone. Look around you. Is not this world filled with sadness and despair? If I can free but a single person from their burdens...

Rielle: He means well enough. Why don't we help him find someone in need and give him a chance to use his power?

Sidurgu: Oh, bloody brilliant! Let's believe the mysterious boy with the mysterious power who mysteriously stole a portion of [Forename]'s soul crystal. What could possibly go wrong?
Sidurgu: Well, it's your crystal, [Forename]. Either we deal with the boy here and now, or we go along with his plan. And since you're not reaching for your sword, I gather it's the latter?
Sidurgu: Congratulations, boy. You get your wish. We're not like to find any poor unfortunate souls here, so I suggest we head to Foundation. And if we find no one suitable there, you are to return what you stole at once. Understood?

Myste: Yes, my lord! Thank you for placing your trust in me!
Myste: I remember when I first came to this place. So full of delusion and despair. All the more reason for me to do what little good I could...

Discomposed Carpenter: Coin in the coffer, milady! Until you pay what's owed, you'll get naught more from me an' me boys!

Millie: You have my assurances that the remaining funds will be delivered soon. Surely that is enough to convince you to resume work?

Discomposed Carpenter: I've got a score of clients clamoring for me services—clients willing to pay in full, in advance. I'd be a fool to put you ahead of 'em.

Millie: I understand that, I do, but it has been an ''eternity'' since we first brokered this arrangement! And many of the clients of whom you speak have come to you but recently. I know this to be true!

Discomposed Carpenter: <sigh> ...It's one thing to aid the scholasticate, milady, but you...you've got to understand me position here. Bloody politics, it is.
Discomposed Carpenter: ...No man lifts a chisel till we're paid in full. I'm sorry, but that's the way it's got to be. A blessed {{alternatives|evening|morrow|day}} to you.

Millie: Oh...I beg your pardon. I did not notice you standing there.
Millie: ...As you may have overheard, I am funding the restoration of the statue of Saint Valeroyant. And, as you may have guessed, it is not going well, on account of my insufficient funds and my family's growing infamy...
Millie: My cousin is...was...Ser Ignasse de Vesnaint of the Heavens' Ward.
Millie: He served the archbishop faithfully, together with his sworn brothers. Great, goodly men who were complicit in terrible crimes, if Ser Aymeric and this Warrior of Light are to be believed...
Millie: Ignasse was distraught when he learned the statue had been destroyed by the Dravanians. He took it upon himself to champion its restoration...but because of these tales, others are reluctant to involve themselves.
Millie: I do not know nor care if Ser Aymeric speaks the truth. Ignasse was my cousin and a man of the Fury, and I will honor him by completing his legacy.
Millie: Or so I once believed. Perhaps it is indeed beyond me...
Millie: Forgive me, cousin. I tried...

Myste: We found someone, didn't we? I knew it. I knew we would...
Myste: I can help her. Yes, yes...I will make it right. I have the power.
Myste: Come! Let us not keep this poor woman waiting!
Myste: Is this she? The one you would have me help?

Millie: Is this child a friend of yours? The way he stares at me is somewhat...

Myste: Do you wish to see your cousin again?

Millie: I... Well, yes, I would love to see Ignasse again. More than anything. But I know I will not. He walks in Halone's halls, I am certain.

Myste: Think of him. Think of his face, of his smile. Of his laugh. Remember every moment you shared, every memory, and hold that image of him in your mind's eye... And then go to a quiet place you shared where no one will come. Wait for me there.

Millie: I really don't understand what this is all about, but...since you seem so earnest, I will trust in you and do as you ask...
Millie: There is a garden to the south of the Tribunal of which we were both fond. I pray you will explain all to me when this is finished.

Myste: Go with her. I will go to Sidurgu and Rielle and bring them with me. Then you will all understand what I can do, and why you must help. That's a promise.

Millie: I think of Ignasse every day, but what is this meant to accomplish?
Millie: Ah, your friend has arrived. He has brought companions, I see...
Millie: No... It cannot be!
Millie: Ignasse! Is it really you!? Oh, praise Halone! You're alive! You're alive!

Ser Ignasse: My dear cousin, how it warms my heart to see you in good health. I pray you will forgive me for my lengthy absence...

Millie: Don't be foolish! There is only joy to see you returned! Come, we must go to your father and mother at once! How they will weep at the sight of you—

Ser Ignasse: I cannot. Better for them to mourn me as the son who gave his life in service to his archbishop and his home.
Ser Ignasse: I have heard that you yet labor to see the statue of Saint Valeroyant restored. Know that I am grateful beyond measure.

Millie: I...I am undeserving of your praise, cousin. For all my efforts, the statue remains a shattered ruin...
Millie: But seeing you here, so full of light and life, fills me with renewed conviction. I will see it through, I swear to you.
Millie: And...if you have indeed done the things they say...then perhaps it will earn you a measure of forgiveness...

Ser Ignasse: I love you, cousin. Now and ever after. Look after my parents...and yourself.

Millie: I don't know how you did it, but thank you for bringing him back to me. But you must know he is not safe here. I pray you help him to flee the city.

Sidurgu: She's right. Ishgard is no place for a man of the Heavens' Ward.
Sidurgu: We will sneak him out of the city. The fewer the better. Meet us at Falcon's Nest after. We have much to discuss...

Millie: I will never forget this kindness. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Myste: For fear of being seen by the sentries, I bade the others go on ahead.
Myste: We should hurry. The further they take Ignasse from Millie, the weaker he will become. I pray we are not too late...

Sidurgu: Godsdammit. I should have known.

Rielle: I...I don't understand. What happened to him?

System: In the depths of the abyss, a flame lingers...

Myste: Forgive me... Forgive me... I should have known the magick would not sustain itself much longer...
Myste: That which you see before you is Ignasse. What remains of him...
Myste: I can give the memories form. I can breathe them full of life and return them to their loved ones. But as the memory fades, so too does the magick...
Myste: Aether, formless and free. That which I took I used to make Ignasse...and Millie...whole.
Myste: Draw your sword. Reclaim that which was lost.<br>Consume the abyss with Souleater.
Myste: That which was taken shall be restored. Consume the abyss. It is yours.

Sidurgu: It is finished. Good. I've had enough of this farce.
Sidurgu: Conjuring a simulacrum of a bloody knight of the Heavens' Ward in the middle of Ishgard!? Fury take me, you are a fool. We're lucky to be alive...
Sidurgu: Your soul crystal is restored, then?
Sidurgu: ...Or not.
Sidurgu: We had an agreement, boy! You were to return that which you stole!

Myste: Forgive me, forgive me... I returned to you that which was used to give Ignasse life, but as for the remainder...
Myste: Four more times. It is within my power to do this four more times. Four more times, and you shall be made whole. You have my word.

Sidurgu: For a boy with such an incredible power, you are remarkably helpless. Not only did you rob [Forename] of {{alternatives|her|his}} aether, you imposed upon {{alternatives|her|him}} to find your “people in need.”
Sidurgu: You want to do good? You want to be a hero? You want to help people? Then why weren't you better prepared?

Myste: I...I will never be a hero. I only wanted to help...
Myste: It is not death itself we fear, but the unfinished story. The promise of what could have been. It is enough to break a heart...and a {{alternatives|woman|man}}.
Myste: The shattered pieces of a life will never come together again. But, if a glimpse of their loved ones grants them the peace they deserve, then I must...I must...

Sidurgu: It is your decision, [Forename]. You are the victim.

Question: What will you say?

> Perhaps some good may come of this.
> Well, he's got my aether. I'm not about to let him out of my sight.
---

Myste: Thank you, thank you. Together, we will make them whole.
Myste: Then...then you will continue to accompany me? That is...a relief.

Rielle: We're not going anywhere, Myste. Even Sid. He may look and act like a chocobo's arse, but he means well.

Sidurgu: Fine, fine! I'm only trying to put the fear of the gods into the little shite, but by all means, go ahead and undermine my authority!
Sidurgu: Anyway, I'd rather not freeze to death out here in the snow. Let's return to Falcon's Nest and discuss what to do next.

Myste: I knew you would understand. How could you not?

Rielle: For the most part, I'm happy to go along with Sid's act, but every now and then I have to remind him not to be so grim and dark.

Sidurgu: Just what I needed. Another child to look after. Am I a dark knight or a nursemaid? Even I don't know anymore... <sigh>
Sidurgu: But times, they are ever changing, and perhaps we dark knights must change with them. Long-held truths are become lies, and villains heroes...though I should be glad if I never have to deal with another “hero” again.
Sidurgu: No offense, of course. But you are the exception that proves the rule. The righteous are all too uncompromising, and woe betide the man who offends their delicate sensibilities.
Sidurgu: If anything, I say you are too accommodating, but it is your aether and soul crystal at stake. Four times, he swears, but we shall hold him to it. Together.
Sidurgu: In the meantime, you may as well get some rest or attend to other matters. These two can keep themselves company. Maybe I'll find somewhere to take a nap, or a tavern to have a drink...

System: The next dark knight quest will be available from Sidurgu upon reaching level 63.
System: The requirements for undertaking subsequent quests can be reviewed in your journal.

==Steps==
*Rendezvous with Rielle at Tailfeather.

*Search Tailfeather for the prisoner.

*Speak with the Orthodox proctor.

*Search for Myste.

*Use Souleater to consume the swirling abyss.

*Speak with Myste.

*Speak with Sidurgu.

==Journal==
*Sidurgu is handling his new duties with characteristic aplomb.

*It would seem that you and your comrades are determined to aid Myste in his strange crusade to help anyone and everyone. Having found no one suitable during their time in Falcon's Nest, you decide to head to Tailfeather and try your luck there.

*Rielle learns from the hunters that a woman named Lowdy has recently been brought to Tailfeather from Falcon's Nest as a prisoner. She is to atone for her crimes through hard labor, though rumor has it that the proctor administering her sentence has been overzealous, both verbally and physically abusing her. Needless to say, that is your job, not his, and more importantly, she may be the sort of person that Myste can help.

*Fate is ever the trickster. You overhear the most pious and venerable proctor berating his charge, and when you at last lay eyes on the prisoner, you realize it is none other than the woman who led the protest against the peace conference at Falcon's Nest, and poisoned your drink, which was not very sporting at all. Dear little Myste is moved by her plight and resolves to conjure her dead husband, even though she should know it for an illusion immediately. On the bright side, it falls to you to deal with the proctor while Sidurgu spirits away the prisoner.

*No one can accuse you of not giving the man a chance. Fortunately, he was foolish enough not to take it. Do be sure to wipe the blood from your boots before meeting Sid.

*Lowdy smiles and speaks of all the things she wishes she could say to her dead husband, but knows she cannot. A lie, however sweet, is nevertheless a lie. At her behest, Myste dispels his magick. But she is not upset. On the contrary, she understands and appreciates his kindness. Turning to you with a newfound sense of peace, she admits she once looked on you with hatred, but no longer. Fight, if it be your will, and if the gods show you favor, then so be it. And when we are called to account, so be it.

*Her heart knows naught but guilt. Seeks naught but forgiveness. Ware the penitent, for theirs is a compulsion all consuming.

*It is done, it is done. And, in spite of Lowdy's recognition of the farce, somehow effective. Myste is nevertheless troubled, as is his wont, though at least he is grateful. And you are still a good person, apparently. That's nice.

*In the wake of events in the forest, Myste seems disinclined to continue his search at this time. Once more Sidurgu must play at being a surrogate father to the two children─or at the very least, a surly older brother.
**※The next dark knight quest will be available from Sidurgu upon reaching level 65.

==Dialogue==
{{section-stub|quest|reason=Dialogue, related-npcs and cutscene-npcs need review}}

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
Myste: I knew you would understand. How could you not?

Rielle: For the most part, I'm happy to go along with Sid's act, but every now and then I have to remind him not to be so grim and dark.

Sidurgu: Oh, thank the gods, an adult. Rielle has been spending a lot of time with Myste—keeping him company and getting to know him and so forth.
Sidurgu: Not that there's much to know. He won't talk about his home or his past. Doesn't seem to have any interests or skills beyond conjuring elaborate illusions derived from memories.
Sidurgu: (I've no idea how he does it, either...and, more importantly, I'm not even sure how we could “take back” the aether he stole. We may have no choice but to agree to his terms. Unless you're content to carry half a soul crystal.)

Rielle: I can hear you whispering, you know. Myste means well, and [Forename] and I are willing to help him. Why aren't you?

Sidurgu: I didn't say I wasn't willing. I'm still here, aren't I?
Sidurgu: Right, then. We've found no one suitable for the boy's needs here. Rather than return to Ishgard, I say we try somewhere new. Let's head to Tailfeather.

Myste: This place too has seen its share of sadness...

Sidurgu: A prisoner of the High Houses? Interesting...

Rielle: Life here is not easy, but it is fulfilling all the same. That said, the hunters had no personal tales of profound tragedy to share...
Rielle: They did, however, tell me of an outsider recently brought here from Falcon's Nest. A prisoner, actually... A woman named Lowdy.
Rielle: She's to atone for her crimes through hard labor, but the proctor has been...zealous. He berates her constantly, and every day she bears fresh bruises.

Sidurgu: Ah, Ishgardian justice. I know it well...
Sidurgu: If this woman is performing various chores for the hunters, then it should not be hard to find her. Come, let us look around.

Rielle: She's lucky. At least she gets to see the sun...

Myste: No one is undeserving. No one is beyond redemption. This I must believe.

Sidurgu: She must be around here somewhere...

Rielle: This is the place, isn't it?

Orthodox Proctor@???: Insolent child! You are not to speak unless spoken to! Is that clear!?

Lowdy@Penitent Prisoner: Yes, my lord... Pray forgive me my impudence.

Orthodox Proctor: Do not play me for a fool! Your sins are beyond forgiveness! Ser Aymeric and his noble brethren may think you worthy of mercy, but I have seen your kind before. A swift death is more than you deserve!

Sidurgu: Hmph. A swift death is more than that bastard deserves. I can't imagine what she did to deserve that kind of treatment.
Sidurgu: Hm? You know her, [Forename]?
Sidurgu: Seven hells, she's the one that led the protest at Falcon's Nest? The one that nearly put an end to the peace conference? And she poisoned ''you''!?
Sidurgu: Well, that explains a lot...though if you of all people can find it in your heart to forgive her—or at least forsake bloody revenge—then it's hard to look at this and call it justice.

Myste: Her crimes were born of desperation and despair for the husband she lost. Perhaps if the two of them were to meet again...

Sidurgu: Don't be foolish. She knows he's dead. You'll only cause her pain.

Myste: Pain is all that is left to her, don't you see?
Myste: How they cry in the dark, how they mourn their dead... How it festers and spreads and corrupts them thoroughly... We have seen it, we have made it—

Sidurgu: Fine, fine! Do what you will! Conjure her husband! <sigh> But do not come crying to me when she curses you for your kindness...
Sidurgu: I'll not give the hunters cause to turn their bows on us, either. Rielle, take Myste into the woods and hide. [Forename] and I will free the girl.
Sidurgu: Rather, ''I'' will free the girl. She would know you at once, and might misunderstand your intentions. We cannot risk the commotion.
Sidurgu: As for your part...no one is truly outside Halone's grace, don't you think? Confront the proctor. Make him see the error of his ways. If he is a good man, then he may yet repent of his wicked ways...
Sidurgu: If he refuses, then that is his choice to make, and he will have to accept the consequences of his actions. Doubly so if he bears steel, yes?

Orthodox Proctor: Bah! The very sight of you fills me with murderous rage. See to your duties! I must needs cleanse myself of these impure thoughts through communion with nature. Perhaps a spot of fishing is in order...

Sidurgu: Now's our chance!

Orthodox Proctor: Hm? Who are you? Why do you disturb me?
Orthodox Proctor: A concerned adventurer who objects to my treatment of a criminal? Hah! If only you knew her sins. She should have been thrown into Witchdrop.
Orthodox Proctor: Alas, the Lord Speaker in his boundless wisdom and mercy demanded that we spare the woman's life. But rest assured I will see that her every waking moment is filled with misery and scorn.
Orthodox Proctor: You presume to judge me!? A man of the church!? I will not be cowed by your threats! The Fury guide and protect me! The Fury guide and protect me!

POP: You sense a righteous presence!

Sidurgu: It's begun. We can but watch and see what happens.

Rielle: I'm...I'm not sure we should be here.

Myste: Look! We have brought them together! We have made her whole!
Myste: How she smiles, how her eyes sparkle. How beautiful, this happiness...

Lowdy: Every night I dream of your face...
Lowdy: I could've tried to stop you from going back to the front. Could've begged and screamed and cursed. But I didn't. Because I knew you'd listen. And even if you'd forgive me for it one day, I never would.
Lowdy: The arrow may have missed my heart, but I've been dead for a long time.<br>All of this is just...just waiting...
Lowdy: That's what I'd tell you, Stace, if I could. And then...you'd say...

Stace: You can't stay stuck in that moment, Lowdy. You've got to go on. You've got to forgive yourself. You've got to let me go.

Lowdy: But I won't. I won't. If I do, who'll be left to remember the man you were? The soldier, the husband...I'm the only one who knows...and it's my duty to hold on to that as long as I can...
Lowdy: That's what I'd tell him if he were here...but he's not. He'll never come home to me. So please...put an end to this...whatever this witchcraft is...
Lowdy: [Forename] [Surname]... Was this all your doing?

Myste: N-No, it was mine. Forgive me... I thought that... I wanted only to...
Myste: I was wrong. I see that now. You have every right to be upset.

Lowdy: It's all right, boy. It is. I appreciate your kindness, even if it was misguided.
Lowdy: You too, [Forename]. I blamed you for a lot of things. Hated you so much, because...because...I don't know. Because you came back, and Stace didn't, maybe. Because you weren't him.
Lowdy: They say the war's over now, but it never ends for people like you, does it?

Question: What will you say?

> There's always something worth fighting for.
> Everything ends.
---

Lowdy: Aye, I know what you are. I heard the stories as a child.
Lowdy: Of the ones with neither shield nor sigil. Champions of the weak and the helpless, undeterred by the law of man or god...
Lowdy: Maybe, maybe not... But that's up to us, isn't it? Whether we carry it or don't. And something tells me you've not finished with it yet.
Lowdy: I know what you are. I heard the stories as a child. Of the ones with neither shield nor sigil. Champions of the weak and the helpless, undeterred by the law of man or god...
Lowdy: I couldn't stop you anymore than I could've stopped Stace from walking out the door that day. So...fight, damn you. Fight, if that's what you want. Just...don't squander the time in between. There's never enough...
Lowdy: Right. I suppose I owe it to him to try and make the most of what I've got left too. So I will. Take care...and thank you.

Sidurgu: ...She's gone. Reclaim your aether, [Forename].

Myste: Forgive me, I was a fool. The abyss is yours, as it has always been. Consume it.

Sidurgu: I did try to warn the boy...

Rielle: ...The proctor's punishments were nothing compared to her own guilt.

System: In the depths of the abyss, a flame lingers...
System: As the aether flows into your soul crystal once more, from the depths of the fading abyss, you hear a whisper...

Myste: Forgive me...forgive me... In the end, I could not make her whole.
Myste: So much pain, so much loss...how it fills my heart and overflows... Maybe it is indeed beyond us. Maybe it is not in our nature.

Sidurgu: ...You've still got three more chances, don't you. There's no need to be so bloody melodramatic. At least not out here. We should go back to Tailfeather.

Myste: ...Your words did more for her than my illusion.
Myste: She is still a good person. And so are you. I pray you both remember...
Myste: She knew it was false...yet it still had power over her. Can there be truth in a lie...and perhaps salvation as well...?

Rielle: They found comfort in seeing the dead. They had so much to say to them. But I...I don't know what I could say to her...

Sidurgu: On to the next, I would say, but Myste looks to be in no state to continue.
Sidurgu: Which means we'll be staying here for a time. Taking in the fresh country air, me and my...little ones. <sigh>
Sidurgu: For what it's worth, I think that woman is better for what we did. Or at least as good as anyone can be after what she's been through...

DJScias: Add Hrothgar and Viera Starting Attributes

Each [[races|race]] has its own base stats. [[Highlanders|Highlander]] [[Hyur]] and [[Xaela|Xaela]] [[Au Ra]] have the highest [[strength]]. [[Wildwood]] [[Elezen]], [[Seekers of the Sun|Seeker of the Sun]] [[Miqo'te]] and [[Plainsfolk]] [[Lalafell]] have the highest [[dexterity]]. All [[Roegadyn]] have the highest [[vitality]]. [[Duskwight]] [[Elezen]] and [[Midlander]] [[Hyur]] have the highest [[intelligence]]. [[Keepers of the Moon|Keeper of the Moon]] [[Miqo'te]], [[Dunesfolk]] [[Lalafell]] and [[Raen]] [[Au Ra]] have the highest [[mind]].

*Note that these differences are quite insignificant, especially at end-game when you have hundreds of points of each stat.
*As of [[Stormblood]], [[Piety]] is no longer a main stat and thus is no longer part of the starting attributes.
