==Steps==
*Speak with [[Unukalhai]].
*Defeat the voidsent.
*Speak with [[Beq Lugg]].
*Channel aether into the hollow.
*Speak to [[Cerigg]] at [[the Wandering Stairs]].

==Journal==
*Unukalhai's success with Taynor has only made him more eager to proceed.

*He and Taynor having mastered the power to open hollows, Unukalhai asks that you contact Beq Lugg and inquire as to their progress in developing a means of gathering information in the void. Fortuitously, you receive an answer in the affirmative from them moments later. As whatever method Beq Lugg has devised is apparently best employed with a minimum of interference from nearby aetherytes, you agree to meet at Laxan Loft to conduct your investigation.

*Beq Lugg joins you at Laxan Loft, accompanied by Cyella and the porxie charged with delving into the void. Unukalhai and Taynor have no difficulty opening a portal sufficient for its passage─though as before, this seems to serve as an invitation for opportunistic voidsent.

*Though it was clearly of higher rank than those that were summoned via previous hollows, you are nevertheless successful in putting an end to the voidsent. In fact, you accomplish this with such efficiency that none of your comrades even have the opportunity to step in and assist you. Or they simply couldn't be bothered. One of the two.

*You inquire with Beq Lugg regarding the status of their porxie, who they believe ought to have returned by now. Taynor suggests that it might have become lost, and would perhaps be well served by an aetherial lodestone to guide it home.

*Much as you once did to rescue Taynor, you channel your aether into the hollow. After a short but tense wait, Beq Lugg senses the porxie approaching, and it at last emerges from the portal, safe and sound. Though the Nu Mou is pleased to announce that their familiar has gathered quite a bit of information on conditions in the void, they also caution that it will take considerable time to review it all, let alone come up with a possible means to restore balance to the Thirteenth. Undaunted, Unukalhai vows to wait as long as is necessary if there is any hope of saving his home. As there is little you can do here in the meanwhile, however, you agree to follow Cyella back to the Wandering Stairs.

*Back at the tavern, Unukalhai again affirms his intention to stay in the First until Beq Lugg finishes their research, prompting Taynor to invite his new friend to join him and Cerigg in hunting down sin eaters and other threats to Norvrandt. No sooner does he agree than is he joined by Giott, Granson, and Lue-Reeq, who learned of Unukalhai's mission from Cyella and are determined to see it done. With these brave souls so aligned, the day may indeed come that the Thirteenth sees Light once again...

==Walkthrough==
* Accept the quest from Unukalhai
* Meet the group in Laxan Loft, in a courtyard on top of the main keep.
* Speak with Unukalhai
* Defeat Dvalinn

===Accept the quest===
-cutscene start
Unukalhai: Now that Taynor and I are capable of performing the necessary magicks, I should like to make an attempt at investigating conditions on the Thirteenth. Might I trouble you to contact Beq Lugg?
Beq Lugg: [Forename]? Are you there? I hope you've not lost focus on the void problem. I have an exciting breakthrough to share─a work of porxie-related genius, if I do say so myself.
Unukalhai: Beq Lugg! Excellent timing. We've made considerable progress as well, and are ready to open a portal when you are.
Beq Lugg: Well, then... What say you meet me at Laxan Loft forthwith? It's far enough from any major aetherytes as to avoid the sort of aetherial interference that would be a hindrance to our observation of the void.
Unukalhai: Very well. We will see you at this “Laxan Loft” anon...or as soon as I can locate it.
Taynor: I'll lead the way. I too am eager to be one step nearer to our goal.
Taynor: You don't mind if I think of it as “our” goal, do you?
Unukalhai: I would be honored. Thank you, Taynor.
-quest accepted
-cutscene end

===Speak with Unukalhai at Laxan Loft===
-optional start
Taynor: I can still scarce believe how quickly we've progressed. It's almost as if we've been friends all along.
-optional end

Unukalhai: It appears Beq Lugg has yet to arrive. Patience, Unukalhai...

-cutscene start
Beq Lugg: I hope you weren't waiting too long.
Cyella: What, you didn't think I'd want to see this for myself? The Thirteenth was my home too, if you recall.
Beq Lugg: Quite. Though as I explained, we won't be the ones doing the seeing, strictly speaking─this familiar will gather all the information we need. Assuming you two can create a hollow for it to pass through?

(The boys oblige)

Beq Lugg: That will do nicely. Now fly, my porxie! Fly!
Beq Lugg: Well...it's made it in.
Taynor: And something is coming out!
Beq Lugg: My, that is an ugly one, isn't it?
-cutscene end

===Defeat the voidsent.===
-optional start
Cyella: Those two have really taken to each other, haven't they? I suppose they are of a similar age...in some ways, at any rate.
Unukalhai: We've already come further than I dared hope. I am truly fortunate to have found Taynor.
Taynor: As I expected, these creatures hardly pose a challenge to you. Maybe don't tell Cerigg about how large and horrible that one was, though?
-optional end

===Speak with Beq Lugg===
Beq Lugg: Thank you for clearing that up. The porxie ought to be back any moment now... Though I can't sense it. Odd.
Taynor: Perhaps it's lost? If [Forename] created an aetheric beacon as she did for me, it might find its way back more easily.
Beq Lugg: Hm... That may work. Give it a go.

-optional start
Beq Lugg: The “stare at it for a prolonged period” method has proven ineffective, so you may as well try channeling aether as the boy suggested.
-optional end

===Channel aether into the hollow===
-cutscene start
Beq Lugg: Keep at it...
Beq Lugg: Aha! A distinctly porxie-like presence!
Taynor: I see the snout!
Beq Lugg: There we are. Now close that hollow before anything follows!
Beq Lugg: I believe it has performed its task thoroughly, as instructed. Good porxie. With luck, its observations may indeed lead us to a means of driving the Darkness from the Thirteenth.
Beq Lugg: However, I will need to review its findings in detail before I can tell you more─and it could take years to deduce a suitable solution.
Unukalhai: I admit that I am impatient to find a way forward─but I have endured millennia with half as much hope as I have now. If I must wait, then that is what I shall do.
Unukalhai: Like [Forename], and your Warriors of Light, I will persevere until my world is safe once more. That is what a hero does.
Taynor: I think you'll make a good one.
Unukalhai: You as well.
Cyella: If that's the end of the excitement for the time being, we should head back to the Wandering Stairs. Clear out that pall of anxiety Cerigg is spreading all over the place.
-cutscene end
-optional start
Cyella: I did tell Cerigg that everyone is fine, but you may need to assure him personally that Taynor hasn't been devoured by a voidsent or what have you.
-optional end

===Speak to Cerigg at the Wandering Stairs===
-cutscene start
Cerigg: Ah, you've returned hale and whole! ...Not that I had any doubt you would, of course.
Cerigg: And...how did your search of the hollow go?

Unukalhai: We may have the information we need to save the Thirteenth.
Unukalhai: It may be some time─years, maybe─until we can be certain. But I will be here for as long as it takes.

Taynor: On that subject, I've been thinking...
Taynor: Would you be interested in joining us? As a bounty hunter, I mean. Cerigg and I hunt down sin eaters and other threats.
Taynor: The First was saved, but it remains far from safe. You could help us protect the people here.
Unukalhai: I... I think I would quite like that. Protecting people.
Unukalhai: If I can do that, then perhaps I will find the strength I need when the time comes.

???: Strength, you say? Sounds like you could use a dwarf with a massive hammer!
(Giott walks into the frame, along with Lew-Reeq, Granson, and Cyella beside her)

Cyella: I may have shared the tale of the Thirteenth with a few other noted hunters.

Granson: Aye. I know what it feels like to fight for something you've already lost. To need to find a way to make it right.

Lue-Reeq: And I know that it's not easy to fight on your own─inconvenient as that little truth may be.

Giott: ...Thus a new team is born! This calls for a toast!

Cerigg: I don't object─so long as this lot carries their weight. I'm a bounty hunter, not a phooka herder.

Unukalhai: Thank you so much...all of you. I would be honored to fight at your side.
Unukalhai: I shall do my best to justify the faith you have shown in me─and to save my home. Someday, I hope we can visit it together.

-optional start
Cerigg: I'm glad Taynor's made a friend his own age. Bit on the odd side, but aren't we all?
Taynor: Training like that was nice. It was never easy, even back then, but...I missed it.
Giott: The other hunters aren't half bad at killing stuff, but we need to work on their drinking habits. Who drinks ''wine'' with dinner?
Lue-Reeq: Oh, don't fret so. I've already told Miss Olvara that I'll be in the Crystarium for the time being.
Lue-Reeq: The opportunity was just too good to pass up─think of what we could do with all of us hunters together!
Granson: They're a good lot, the other hunters─they really care about Unukalhai and saving that world of his. I'm happy to help however I can.
Granson: ...Except for the drinking. Count me out of that.
Unukalhai: There is doubtless much I can learn from work as a bounty hunter─especially with Taynor as my guide.
Cyella: At loose ends, are you? You're welcome to loiter about here─if you intend to spend some coin while you're at it.
Cyella: Not that I'm not grateful for the business you've brought in, mind. The hunters are here even more often now that they're working together, and their accounts never go unsettled for long.
Cyella: They're a pain in the arse to serve, of course. Maybe I'll drop your name next time I need them to behave.
Cyella: Still, it's nice to feel like something grand is in motion again. Perhaps Ardbert rubbed off on me more than I anticipated...

*Speak with [[Taynor]] by [[the Exarch Gate]].
*Slay the voidsent.
*Speak with [[Unukalhai]].
*Slay the voidsent.
*Speak with Unukalhai.
*Slay the voidsent.
*Speak with Unukalhai.

==Journal==
*Unukalhai would hone his newfound skill.

*Having learned the fundamentals of opening hollows from Nyelbert's crystal, Unukalhai asks Taynor to work with him on perfecting the technique forthwith. Taynor agrees to do so, but only once safely away from the Crystarium, as denizens of the void are wont to seize any opportunity to cross to other worlds.

*You meet Taynor and Unukalhai in Lakeland, where they attempt to use their joint aether to open a portal to the Thirteenth. Amazingly, they succeed in making such a gateway─albeit a small one─on the first go, and a minor voidsent emerges.

*You dispatch the voidsent with little difficulty. It is now safe for Unukalhai and Taynor to make another attempt.

*Taynor suggests that Unukalhai match his breathing and the flow of his aether in order to refine the technique. These instructions have the mixed results of a slightly larger hollow, and a slightly larger voidsent for you to dispose of.

*You dispatch the voidsent of medium size. Thankfully, no hapless travelers pass by, and your two companions are either too intent on their aetherial attunement or too desensitized by past experience to be perturbed by the many screams issuing from its many mouths.

*On their third attempt, Unukalhai and Taynor are perfectly in sync, and manage to open a robustly sized voidgate. This has the unfortunate side effect of unleashing a larger-than-is-strictly-desirable voidsent, but you've seen much worse, so get on with the slaying.

*Your defeat of the voidsent leaves no trace behind. Beq Lugg never needs to know.

*You speak to Unukalhai, who concludes that he now has a sufficient grasp on the technique. Taynor agrees that they have succeeded in synchronizing their aether at a surprising rate, and wonders aloud at how familiar working with Unukalhai's aether felt to him...

==Walkthrough==
* Speak with Unukalhai
* Speak with Taynor in Lakeland; Teleportation to Fort Jobb is a quick way to do this.
* Defeat the Void Torch that spawns
* Speak with Unukalhai
* Defeat the Void Wanderer that spawns
* Speak with Unukalhai
* Defeat the Void Scavenger

===Accept the quest===
Unukalhai: If you have no objection, Taynor, I would like to practice creating hollows as soon as possible.

===Speak with Taynor by the Exarch Gate===
-optional start
Unukalhai: There you are! Please, tell Taynor we can begin.
-optional end

Unukalhai: There you are! Please, tell Taynor we can begin.

Taynor: Assuming no one ventures near, this location should be suitable. Unukalhai, when I give the word, begin channeling your aether. Nyelbert's memories will have told you as much, but it is imperative that you maintain focus on our aetherial resonance throughout this process.
Taynor: With that in mind─[Forename], I ask that you take care of any creatures that emerge from the hollow. They should not be of a strength to challenge you, and it will allow us to adjust our attunement without risk.

Unukalhai: Then let us begin.

-cutscene start
Unukalhai: Come on... Flow where I tell you to!
Taynor: Let me attempt to match your focus.
Unukalhai: It opened! It's small, but...
Taynor: ...Enough to let something through. Be ready, [Forename].
-cutscene end

====After Combat====
-optional start
Taynor: It has been quite a while since I opened a gate between worlds like this...but there are some things we never forget, aren't there?
-optional end

-cutscene start
Unukalhai: That was...<pant>...far too much effort for such a small gate...
Taynor: On the contrary─given this was your first attempt, it's incredible that we succeeded at all! Now, try synchronizing your breath with mine. Focus on the rhythm of the aetherial flow.
Unukalhai: All right. I'm ready!
Taynor: Aha, a larger hollow! Of course, the voidsent may be proportionately stronger...
-cutscene end

====After the 2nd Combat====
-cutscene start
Unukalhai: Where your breath ends, mine begins... Where your aether flows, mine follows...
Unukalhai: Together!
Taynor: Unbelievable! Full attunement so soon...
Unukalhai: Be ready, [Forename]!
-cutscene end

====After the 3rd Combat====
-optional start
Taynor: Like talking to an old friend... Yes, that's what it's like.
-optional end

Unukalhai: I think I've grasped the principle now. I only need remember the feeling for next time.

Taynor: I almost feel as if I ''do'' remember it. Your aether is...familiar, somehow. But that's impossible, of course.

==Journal==
*Glynard is overjoyed to welcome the conquering hero's return.

*The Cardinal Virtues are no more, for you and the bounty hunters of the Wandering Stairs have successfully laid them to rest. After imploring you to share the details of your adventures, Glynard proposes calling together the patrons and celebrating your grand accomplishments. However, the libations will have to wait, for Cyella would reward your labors with a singular tale─that of the true villain responsible for so much of the realm's misery, who yet lingers in this world...

*Who is Cyella to speak of long-forgotten heroes and villains? What is her part in all of this. It is a fair question to ask, and so she explains that she was the one who gathered the Virtue-hunters together, and marked you as potential ally. She alone understood what was needed to see this century-spanning tale of tragedy and betrayal to an end. But like many tales, it demands to be told in full.

*Kholusia was where Ardbert's fellowship was born─where he first met Lamitt, and thereafter Branden, Renda-Rae, and Nyelbert. But despite the legends speaking only of five warriors, there was a sixth. You yourself know this, having walked in the memories of the Virtues. Cylva was her name─an elven woman rather skilled in the ways of war and of subterfuge, for she was in truth the villain responsible for so much of their suffering...

*In Amh Araeng, Ardbert and his comrades first met Nyelbert, a desperate mage on a quest to find a relic so infused with power that it threatened to warp the Lifestream itself. Together they slew the beast which carried it, and for a moment Nyelbert held the key to his friend's salvation in his hand. But when forced to choose between the life of one and the lives of others, he cast aside his heart's desire for the greater good, and a Warrior of Light was born. Little did they know this was all in accordance with the betrayer Cylva's plans...

*In Rak'tika, Renda-Rae seized the opportunity to avenge the deaths of dear friends by slaying the notorious mark responsible. She attempted to do this alone, out of fear for her new companions, from who she had hidden her past. In the end, however, they learned of her intentions, and arrived in time to save her life and assist her in finishing off the beast. Thus were the bonds between the fledgling heroes strengthened, and a new Warrior of Light born, furthering the betrayer Cylva's plans...

*In Il Mheg, Branden returned to the Kingdom of Voeburt, his homeland, and with the aid of his comrades righted a terrible wrong. The court mage, Tadric, who for years had tormented the smallfolk and coveted the throne was exposed and brought to justice. But as he lay dying, he cursed Branden's liege lady, the princess Sauldia, forcing the disgraced knight to grant her the mercy of death. By this act was a new Warrior of Light born, and the betrayer Cylva that much closer to achieving her ultimate goal.

*In Kholusia, Lamitt brought to bear the powerful magick she had harnessed in the ruins of Ronka, and with it saved the lives of countless dwarves whose fates had been sealed by a terrible affliction. For her selfless act was she forever banished from her home, as punishment for violating the sacred traditions of her community. From yet another sacrifice was born another Warrior of Light, leading the betrayer Cylva to make preparations for the final stage of her plan...

*At Laxan Loft, you arrive ahead of Cyella, leaving you to think on the curious tales she has imparted to you thus far. When she does eventually arrive, she does so clad in the armor of a warrior, and in the ensuing vision of her past you confirm that she was Cylva, the Shadowkeeper, sixth member of Ardbert's party and the traitor in their midst. After the vision fades, she goes on to reveal that she is of the Thirteenth, another shard that long ago fell to Darkness, and in so doing set the First on the path to a mirrored fate, from which its countless souls could only be saved, she believed, through the most drastic of measures. She labored in secret to groom young adventurers that they might become Warriors of Light, thus shifting the balance of the world and priming it for a Rejoining. However, in failing at the last, she instead set the stage for the Flood of Light. For a century her essence lingered, a shade seemingly trapped in a purgatory of her own making. However, when she learned of her fallen comrades' rebirth as Virtues, she set about making plans for their destruction by gathering brave souls to hunt the simulacra with the aid of the chosen hero that would one day arrive: you. Now that her comrades have been lain to rest, she yearned to consign her soul to oblivion and sought death at your hand, but your response drove her to consider what other ways she might atone for her terrible deeds...

*For now, Cyella has decided to remain at the Crystarium in Glynard's service. There she will labor to spread the truth of her comrades and the sacrifices that defined them, in the hopes that one day they will be recognized and celebrated by all as the heroes they were once more. And though your own story is far from finished, she prays that your legacy endures as well for generations to come.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest (Cutscene)===
'''Glynard:''' Well, if it isn't the great hunter {{alternatives|f=herself|m=himself}}!
'''Glynard:''' As if you don't know! All four of the Cardinal Virtues laid low, all with your help. You're the talk of the Stairs, [Forename]!
'''Glynard:''' When the night returned to Lakeland, we knew in our hearts that change was on the horizon. But never did I dare hope that you might help rid us of those terrible fiends. You've surpassed my wildest expectations!

'''Cyella:''' Not mine, Glynard. Aye, when I first laid eyes on {{alternatives|f=her|m=him}}, I had an inkling that {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} was the hero we'd been waiting to come along...

'''Glynard:''' Hah! Easy to claim after the fact!
'''Glynard:''' If you'd indulge me, though, I would love to hear you tell how it all played out. The hunting of the Virtues, that is...
'''Glynard:''' My word, there's so much more to it than I realized. And there I thought you'd only had to track down the bloody things. Gods, though, the things you learned about the Warriors of Light...so many secrets and details lost over time...
'''Glynard:''' And for all their hard work and sacrifice, they somehow brought about the Flood? Can't say I understand it at all, but it's a bloody tragedy, it is.
'''Glynard:''' We should gather the others and toast their memories! Heroes of eld, brave and true, to be remembered forevermore!

'''Cyella:''' Now, now, I'll thank you not to let your bleeding heart drive you to offer up a fortnight's stock of spirits. Attend to your other customers and let me speak with the hero of here and now.

'''Glynard:''' What ever would I do without your good sense and wisdom? Very well, I'll leave you to entertain {{alternatives|f=her|m=him}}─but don't think we won't be having that drink someday!

'''Cyella:''' [Forename], I must thank you for sharing with us such incredible tales. 'Tis only right that I repay you in kind.
'''Cyella:''' With the ending, that is. With the story of the true villain who towers above the Virtues─the devil more deserving of death than any that yet lingers in this world...
'''Cyella:''' If your curiosity has been piqued, then meet with me atop the balcony overlooking the Crystalline Mean. I will be waiting there until you do.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Glynard:''' Where is Cyella when I need her? Running off on a personal matter when we're busier than ever! Bah!

===Speaking with Cyella near the Crystalline Mean===
'''Cyella:''' You came, as I knew you would. Never met a mystery you could leave well enough alone─or a demon that you could let live, am I right?
'''Cyella:''' And this demon is undeniably deserving of death. Make no mistake. To cut them down would be just and proper. The act of a goodly person─and that is just what you are. I can see that...
'''Cyella:''' No need to grow impatient or be offended, my friend. But before you pass judgment on this villain, you need first understand their part in everything. Who they were to the fallen Warriors of Light, for instance.
'''Cyella:''' Of course, right about now you must be wondering how I know what I know─what a tavern wench of all people has got to do with any of this.
'''Cyella:''' Let me tell you, then: I am the one who brought together the Virtue-hunters. I am the one who marked you as a potential ally to them and bade you join them in their quests.
'''Cyella:''' I alone knew what had to be done, and what sort of sinner would be needed to see this tale of tragedy and betrayal brought to an end.
'''Cyella:''' But come─we have many malms ahead of us still. To Kholusia and the Codger's Crook. I will go on ahead and wait for you there.

===Rendezvousing with Cyella in Kholusia (Cutscene)===
'''Cyella:''' You are accustomed to life on the road, I see. As am I...
'''Cyella:''' Do you recognize this place? I thought you might. Here is where it began─where Ardbert first met Lamitt.
'''Cyella:''' Still young and lacking in experience, but possessed of so, so much potential. Heroes in the making. Even then the keen-eyed could see.
'''Cyella:''' They would only fulfill that promise much later, though. After joining with their other dear companions, Branden and Renda-Rae...
'''Cyella:''' And one other─an elven woman. Not half bad with a sword.
'''Cyella:''' Ahh, but perhaps you are already asking the question: who? There were five Warriors of Light in all, but she would make six.
'''Cyella:''' Indeed, after adding in Nyelbert, there does seem to be one too many. But believe me when I say there was indeed a sixth adventurer lost to history, and her name was Cylva...
'''Cyella:''' Though I doubt I need convince you of this truth. When you walked in the Virtues' memories, you saw her time and time again, did you not?
'''Cyella:''' Then you saw the true villain─the traitor responsible for all their woes.
'''Cyella:''' Let us continue the story elsewhere. To Amh Araeng and the Fields of Amber.

===Rendezvousing with Cyella in Amh Araeng (Cutscene)===
'''Cyella:''' You saw the true villain's face in their memories, and I told you her name in Kholusia. But what were her crimes, you ask? Hearken to my tale and you will learn.
'''Cyella:''' Cylva had joined the others before they first met Nyelbert. After their party of five came to this place, they took on a commission to slay a powerful beast that had taken up residence in the mines.
'''Cyella:''' Said beast was believed to be the instigator of ever more terrible tremors, and so time was of the essence. But during their hurried search, they crossed paths with their future companion, then a competitor aiming to usurp their prize.
'''Cyella:''' After another tremor triggered by the beast trapped them all underground, they had no choice but to work together to lay it low. But to their dismay, even after its death, the earth continued to shudder violently.
'''Cyella:''' As the adventurers looked to each other in confusion, Nyelbert strode towards the beast's body and grabbed hold of a curious stone─a stone brimming with untold aether, that he had sought out that he might harness its potential to rescue a loved one lost to the rift...
'''Cyella:''' But so powerful was the stone that it warped the flow of the Lifestream. Its very existence was a threat. And so, when faced with the choice between one life and countless others, Nyelbert wept...and shattered the stone.
'''Cyella:''' He had held his comrade's salvation in his hand and cast it aside for the greater good. For his sacrifice, he was judged a hero, and in that instant, a Warrior of Light was born...
'''Cyella:''' In life, Nyelbert was a pragmatic figure, whose wisdom and sagacity were admired by all. Little wonder that in death he would retain his virtue...
'''Cyella:''' But as Nyelbert mourned the friend he forever lost, the betrayer Cylva looked on in silent contentment, for they had taken the first step on their path towards becoming heroes brave and true.
'''Cyella:''' His sacrifice had sparked the transformation. 'Twas fuel for the ritual to come...
'''Cyella:''' What ritual, you may wonder? Fear not. All will become clear in time.
'''Cyella:''' Come with me to Rak'tika. To the Citia Swamps. We must retrace the steps as they were taken to understand the depth of her treachery.

===Rendezvousing with Cyella in Rak'tika (Cutscene)===
'''Cyella:''' This place too is familiar to you, no? From days recent and long since passed.
'''Cyella:''' After the events in Amh Araeng, Ardbert and his comrades grew in fame, spurring others to entreat their aid. The adventurers sought out greater and greater challenges, and in pursuit of another they came to Rak'tika.
'''Cyella:''' While here, the hunter Renda-Rae learned that the notorious mark, Balam-Quitz, was near. And so, under cover of darkness, she slipped away from the others to slay the beast by herself.
'''Cyella:''' Like Nyelbert before, of course, you already know what her motive was. Balam-Quitz had robbed her of her fellow hunters. Only vengeance would redress the balance.
'''Cyella:''' Moreover, she would not dare risk the lives of her new comrades, so terrified was she of the mere possibility that she might have to relive that terrible day. And so she faced Balam-Quitz alone, and would have surely died for it...had Ardbert and the others not arrived in time to help.
'''Cyella:''' Like Nyelbert before, of course, you already know what happened next. For her love, her conviction, and her resolve was she chosen by Hydaelyn.
'''Cyella:''' And from that day forward, Renda-Rae swore never again to betray her comrades' trust─to share with them the triumphs and the tragedies. To relinquish the freedom she had once held in the highest.
'''Cyella:''' The bravest, most courageous hunter that ever was. That moment would define what she became in life...and in death.
'''Cyella:''' Her sacrifice would hasten the transformation. 'Twas fuel for the ritual to come...
'''Cyella:''' The betrayer Cylva looked on, yet more satisfied. They were oblivious to her machinations, unaware that they were dancing to her tune.
'''Cyella:''' Their journeys continued, and so must ours. To Il Mheg, and Lyhe Ghiah.

===Rendezvousing with Cyella in Il Mheg (Cutscene)===
'''Cyella:''' As beautiful now as it was then. You saw it too. Would you not agree?
'''Cyella:''' With the death of Balam-Quitz, the legend of Ardbert and his comrades had grown larger than ever. Thus emboldened, they came to the Kingdom of Voeburt...
'''Cyella:''' Voeburt had long been troubled by what some had dubbed a “magical plague”─innocents found transformed into misshapen fiends that the kingdom's knights had no choice but to put down ere the contagion spread.
'''Cyella:''' Branden had been one such knight. In his youth, he had served the princess Sauldia faithfully, only to be cast out for a single mistake. Thus did he take to the road where he met Ardbert and the others.
'''Cyella:''' Having grown stronger and wiser and more respected, Branden felt it was time to return and redeem himself, and with the aid of his comrades he did just that. Tadric, the court mage, was unmasked as the mastermind of Voeburt's misery, and by disgraced knight's blade was he brought to justice.
'''Cyella:''' But with his dying breath, Tadric cursed the princess Sauldia, sentencing her to a fate worse than death...
'''Cyella:''' At her behest did he raise up his blade, and for the sake of the kingdom, strike down his liege lady.
'''Cyella:''' With that single stroke he forever changed─though nearly not in the way that was necessary. He stood at the precipice and almost forsook his compassion for unflinching judgment...but mercifully turned aside at the last.
'''Cyella:''' Thus did he find and embrace true justice, that which weighs law and heart together and strives for the greater good. 'Tis a long, difficult road from which many stray, settling for simpler moralities. But I would expect no less of the man who became Dikaiosyne.
'''Cyella:''' His sacrifice would strengthen the transformation. 'Twas fuel for the ritual to come...
'''Cyella:''' As her companions grew ever more powerful, so too did the betrayer Cylva. Bit by bit, they brought her closer to her goal.
'''Cyella:''' But it was not yet finished. To Kholusia they returned, and so must we. Tomra and the next chapter of our tale await.

===Rendezvousing with Cyella in Kholusia (Cutscene)===
'''Cyella:''' Slowly but surely the adventurers were fulfilling their potential...
'''Cyella:''' Word of their deeds in Voeburt spread like wildfire, and their legend grew ever larger. But for all their success, the fledgling heroes would be forced to endure more hardship and welcome more sacrifice.
'''Cyella:''' They pressed deeper into the depths of Rak'tika─towards ancient Ronka. 'Twas there that the dwarf Lamitt came to a crossroads, for in claiming the magick she desperately desired, she would be forced to renounce something equally precious.
'''Cyella:''' Dwarves are a reclusive lot, wont to withdraw from the outside world that their many traditions might be preserved in isolation. When the stoneblight began to spread, they chose to lock away the afflicted and refused to seek outside help.
'''Cyella:''' But Lamitt would not abide this. She vowed to save her ailing kin─her sister among them─even if it meant violating dwarven law. With her newfound power she returned and cured the sick, and for this she was banished by the council of elders.
'''Cyella:''' This came as no surprise, for she had made her peace with it long before. When she stood in that ancient ruin and called upon forgotten guardians to grant her forbidden knowledge, she knew then what the price would be.
'''Cyella:''' She had weighed her traditions and identity against the lives of those she loved and made her choice, though it pained her terribly and in ways only a dwarf could understand...and Hydaelyn, it would seem.
'''Cyella:''' Through hardship and sacrifice was a new Warrior of Light forged. A healer that knew more than any the value of a life, and would do anything to see it preserved─even in death.
'''Cyella:''' Her sacrifice would nearly complete the transformation. 'Twas fuel for the ritual to come─very soon, then, very soon.
'''Cyella:''' For Ardbert and his comrades had stumbled upon evidence of the larger design. Threads linking together the disparate troubles of the realm.
'''Cyella:''' A name spoken only in whispers─the Shadowkeeper. A singular force sowing chaos and discord throughout Norvrandt to an unknown end.
'''Cyella:''' If the Warriors of Light truly wished to save their world, then they would need to confront this villain amongst villains.
'''Cyella:''' And at the end of their exhaustive search, at the end of their struggle...who do you think they found waiting to welcome them with open arms?
'''Cyella:''' The answer to that awaits us in Lakeland, our final destination.
'''Cyella:''' The villain yet walks among us, [Forename]. Unknown and unpunished. Go on ahead and wait for me at Laxan Loft. There are preparations to which I must first attend...

===Waiting for Cyella in Lakeland (Cutscene)===
====Echo====
'''Ardbert:''' Damn you, Cylva! We were comrades-in-arms! Friends!

'''Cylva:''' That we were and that we are. Everything I said, everything I felt─it was all true. You mean the world to me─

'''Ardbert:''' You're the bloody Shadowkeeper! What in the hells was this for!?

'''Cylva:''' For you─for every one of you! To forge you into heroes worthy of Her blessing, that she might choose you as Her champions!
'''Cylva:''' A ruthless mage consumed by the pursuit of power to save his friend no matter the cost. By his sacrifice a warrior born!
'''Cylva:''' A mournful hunter scarred by tragedy resolved never again to trust in others. By her sacrifice a warrior born!
'''Cylva:''' A disgraced knight who yearned to steel his heart in justice's name. By his sacrifice a warrior born!
'''Cylva:''' A troubled healer torn between tradition and love. By her sacrifice a warrior born!
'''Cylva:''' And their leader...an adventurer with a heart overflowing with love for his dearest comrades...who must now bring his axe to bear against his own.
'''Cylva:''' By his sacrifice a warrior born!
'''Cylva:''' I am the villain you seek. The keeper of shadows from a world shrouded in Dark. By our struggle will this world be shattered and its souls saved!

'''Ardbert:''' >> Cylvaaaaaa! <<
====Echo End====

'''Cyella:''' Saw it all, did you? I thought you might. Mother's gift has a knack for showing us exactly what we need to see─if not what we want to, or when.
'''Cyella:''' They knew me as Cylva, but my real name... It doesn't matter.
'''Cyella:''' Like you, I am not of this world. I crossed the rift and came to the First.
'''Cyella:''' My home, the Thirteenth, fell to Dark in a calamity that mirrored the one which nearly claimed this world. I was one of several “heroes” who failed to save it.
'''Cyella:''' The boy, Unukalhai─I have glimpsed him in your memories. He was a friend. Like him, I heeded the words of the Ascians and, that I might redress the balance, I chose to come here and hasten a rejoining of worlds.
'''Cyella:''' A shard subsumed by Dark demands a mirror of blinding Light. Primordial forces will strive to achieve equilibrium. But there was a solution─a single solution, I believed.
'''Cyella:''' Were a Flood of Light to consume this shard in its entirety, it would be of no use. The Ascians made it clear it must be brought to the brink, but no further.
'''Cyella:''' The task was difficult, but the plan simple. Souls predisposed to Light, fledgling heroes in the making. I would bring together Ardbert and his comrades and groom them for a higher purpose.
'''Cyella:''' I would play the part of comrade and guide their course, all the while laboring in secret to pit stronger and stronger enemies against them, until finally, once they were Warriors of Light brave and true, I would reveal myself as a Warrior of Darkness and extinguish their radiance forever.
'''Cyella:''' Thus would this world be primed for a Rejoining, and the Source for a calamity.
'''Cyella:''' The Ascians who called themselves Mitron and Loghrif were confident it would succeed. And indeed, Ardbert and the others rose to the occasion, as I knew they would...
'''Cyella:''' It was not to be. I had misjudged Ardbert. His comrades before him had made their sacrifices in turn, and as their mirror I had grown stronger for it. Had he but embraced his role and struck me down, victory would have been mine...
'''Cyella:''' But Ardbert, dear Ardbert, would not forsake his heart.
'''Cyella:''' In the end, he chose mercy. He chose love, and I was undone.
'''Cyella:''' The rest, you know. He sought out Mitron and Loghrif and granted them what he refused me. They accomplished everything they set out to achieve...and then the Flood came and washed it away.
'''Cyella:''' In the wake of my betrayal I would look on from the shadows, and reflect on my many sins as all fell to ruin. Denied death, then and now, and perhaps ever after, as a fragment of my essence endures...
'''Cyella:''' But then, one day years ago, my fallen comrades rose again as the Cardinal Virtues.
'''Cyella:''' It coincided with the arrival of the first Scions, I later realized. A defense against the forces being marshaled to undo my failure.
'''Cyella:''' I can but assume the Ascians planted the idea in Vauthry's head. They were his creations, after all─and with their graves in Eulmoran territory, it was doubtless a simple matter to have their bodies exhumed and prepared...
'''Cyella:''' "Who am I to speak,“ you may think when I say this, but...when I saw these...abominations he had wrought in their image...I was filled with such despair. Such anger...
'''Cyella:''' I cannot unwrite the past. My soul is stained with blackest sin, and I will not pretend that it can ever be otherwise. But this act...this I could not ignore.
'''Cyella:''' If the Ascians were going to such lengths, then surely others would cross the rift in due time. And so I hatched a plan.
'''Cyella:''' I would assume the guise of Cyella, and as her take up residence in the Crystarium, where I would take measures to bring together the most ambitious of adventurers─individuals driven by more than mere coin. Virtue-hunters.
'''Cyella:''' That way, when the enemy the Ascians feared more than any came to the First, the stage would be set. They would join in the hunters' quests, and together unmake Vauthry's simulacra and lay their souls to rest once more.
'''Cyella:''' And so you did, [Forename]. The Virtues are no more. But the one ultimately responsible for their creation─the devil who set them on their doomed path─lingers still.
'''Cyella:''' You know all there is to know of the heroes who saved this world. The truth I kept hidden in the shadows is yours, and there are no more secrets to share. And so I ask you now to grant me that which Ardbert could not. Death.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> You still have a duty to others.
'''Cyella:''' No, don't do this! Don't you spare me like he did!
> ...
'''Cyella:''' ...Hmph. When you look at me that way, you remind me of Ardbert. He never did let me take the easy way out. I'm guessing suicide is out of the question too?

'''Cyella:''' How can you stand there and say I deserve to live? Knowing everything I did, the lives I destroyed, the chaos I wrought? The Wardens pale in comparison─surely there is no greater villain than the Shadowkeeper!?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Which is why you must live to atone for your deeds!
'''Cyella:''' ...I should've expected a hero would say something like that.
'''Cyella:''' How does one even seek atonement? 'Tis an undiscovered country, with no charts or stars to guide... How will I even know when I find it?
> Death is no comfort to the living!
'''Cyella:''' ...'Twould be for my own benefit, aye. That I cannot deny.
'''Cyella:''' And if I'm to indulge in one final act of selfishness, you'll make me do it myself, won't you? Make me confront the cowardice of it-the ugly truth that I'd rather run away than try to seek atonement...

'''Cyella:''' Perhaps...perhaps I may yet find purpose in preserving my comrades' legacy. In helping others to understand the sacrifices that made them true heroes...
'''Cyella:''' For now, I shall return to the Crystarium and continue to assist Glynard, while spreading the forgotten tales of the Warriors of Light.
'''Cyella:''' You would have been good friends, you and Ardbert. In another life.
'''Cyella:''' Maybe you and I as well...

'''(Optional)'''
'''Glynard:''' I see Cyella finally returned. She seems a bit more...how should I put it...at ease? You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

===Speaking with Cyella in the Crystarium===
'''Cyella:''' I tell you, I am not at all accustomed to wearing armor any longer. Simply moving about in it is enough to tax my strength. And fighting? Ugh. Any one of Captain Lyna's recruits could probably put me flat on my back.
'''Cyella:''' Fortunately, I needn't rely on my sword to spread the truth of my fallen comrades' deeds. Only words and the passage of time will see their legacy redeemed in the eyes of the people.
'''Cyella:''' Thank you for accompanying me on my journey of remembrance, [Forename]. May your deeds ever be remembered and celebrated, as all heroes deserve.

*Speak with [[Granson]] in [[the Crystarium]].

==Journal==

*Sul Oul is eager to hear what Granson has to say.

*Having taken ample time to consider the nature of the man Branden was, and the man Granson had convinced himself he must be, the hunter has at last accepted the simple truth: that a hardened heart full of hate is ultimately empty. There is naught to be gained from playing the part of a vengeful hero, for there are only victims in his story. And so he must bring an end to the tale and lay Milinda and Branden's spirits to rest...and then move on. Satisfied that Granson has at last turned away from the brink, Sul Oul reveals the location of the Claws of Orthus, and furnishes you with a satchel of powder to dispel the glamour that shields it from view.

*After coming to the designated location in Timh Gyeus, you cast the powder into the air with a flourish, which settles to reveal the hidden coffer. Granson kneels and withdraws the Claws of Orthus, and as if on cue, Dikaiosyne appears to claim his prize, and the battle is joined.

*Though your enemy is formidable indeed, together you and Granson manage to lay the fallen Warrior of Light low. As he begins to fade into motes of aether, Branden seems to regain a fragment of his lost self, as he reflects on perhaps the most painful decision of his life. To your surprise, however, you learn that like Granson, he managed to reject the mistaken belief that he need forsake compassion and love to move on, and instead chose to embrace it, that he might honor the memory of the lady Sauldia.

*Sul Oul is relieved to hear that Branden's soul is at peace...and that the turmoil in Granson's heart has subsided as well. With the deed done, the hunter has no need for the royal relics of Voeburt, and so he entrusts them to the former retainer that they may be enshrined in the fallen kingdom forevermore.

*Having returned to the Crystarium, his hunt at an end, Granson turns his thoughts to the future, and realizes that he no longer feels at home there or in Wright or anywhere else. The road shall host him for the time being, as he believes that someone, somewhere must surely be in need of a reliable sword hand. Though your time together is at an end, there is no reason to think you will not meet again, and so you bid farewell to each other...until the next hunt.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Granson:''' ...

===Quest Acceptance (Cutscene)===
'''Sul Oul:''' Granson. I have given you ample time to consider the path that has brought you here...and where it invariably leads all who walk it.

'''Granson:''' ...I didn't know what to do after I lost Milinda. How to mourn her or how to live. I felt...that if I put it all on Dikaiosyne, put my everything into the hunt, that at least I wouldn't have to think about myself, or what comes next.
'''Granson:''' I wanted to hollow myself out...and fill up that hole with hate. Forget who I was. And irony of ironies, that's just what the poor bastard tried to do to himself a century ago, too, isn't it?
'''Granson:''' Heh. “Hard men” making hard choices... What rot.

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< Hold on to Milinda and the memories you shared. Let that love guide you. >'''
'''< Think not of Dikaiosyne, but Branden. Grant him peace and you will find your own. >'''
'''< ... >'''

'''''< Hold on to Milinda and the memories you shared. Let that love guide you. >'''''
'''Granson:''' ...You're right. I don't need the hate. Never did. I'll finish it for Milinda...and for Branden. And then...I'll move on.

'''''< Think not of Dikaiosyne, but Branden. Grant him peace and you will find your own. >'''''
'''Granson:''' ...Maybe. Still, that thing's no more than a mindless eater. Nothing it can say or do to make it right. So I'll finish the hunt...for Milinda...and for Branden. And then...I'll move on.

'''''< ... >'''''
'''Granson:''' Ah, sorry. Having planted my head so far up my own arse, it's taking me time to remove it. Don't worry, I'll finish the hunt with you─but for the right reasons. For Milinda...and for Branden. And then...I'll move on.

'''(All)'''
'''Sul Oul:''' ...Move on, you say?

'''Granson:''' I can't live off hate. Shouldn't've made it this far, frankly. And the more I try to reach for it, the more I find...sorrow? Pity?

'''Sul Oul:''' Curse not fate, but mourn her victims. Remember the dead as they lived.

'''Granson:''' Aye, something like that. Reckon [Forename] would agree. And Milinda, if she were here, would probably slap me a dozen times and call me a bloody fool for acting the way I have.
'''Granson:''' Or maybe you've been thinking about doing that in her stead, eh?
'''Granson:''' Apologies for treating you with such disrespect before, Sul Oul. I'd like to claim I finally understand what you've been trying to tell me all this time, but I'm still getting my head around it─

'''Sul Oul:''' Recognizing your faults is the first and most important step. I will tell you what I know of the Claws of Orthus.
'''Sul Oul:''' The ring, together with the bracelet and choker were three relics passed down through the royal family over generations, signifying the owner's right to rule.
'''Sul Oul:''' Princess Sauldia was the last of her line, and after her death, they were stored in a sanctuary for safekeeping. However, a year ago, a band of thieves learned of its existence...

'''Granson:''' The ones who stole the Fangs and Eyes of Orthus?

'''Sul Oul:''' Yes. The relics were concealed with magical wards. I can only presume that once they were spirited away, Dikaiosyne was then able to sense their presence.

'''Granson:''' Even in death, a slave to duty, you said? You think he pursued the thieves out of an instinctive loyalty to his princess?

'''Sul Oul:''' That I do. After all, he was content to leave them be so long as they remained hidden.

'''Granson:''' Only two of the three were taken? Then the third is still─

'''Sul Oul:''' Claim the Claws of Orthus and he will surely come for you, yes.
'''Sul Oul:''' Timh Gyeus is where you must go. Once you arrive at the place I marked on your map, cast this powder into the air. The glamour will fade, and you will see the chest with the ring. The rest is up to you.

'''Granson:''' Thank you, Sul Oul. I promise we will bring your friend peace.
'''Granson:''' With me, sinner!

'''Sul Oul:''' And may you find peace as well, child...

====Optional====
'''Sul Oul:''' Go to the place I marked on your map, and there use the powder in the satchel to dispel the glamour concealing the coffer. You will find the ring within.

'''Granson:''' This should be the place. You've got the powder on you, right?

===Using the mushroom powder to reveal the hidden coffer===
'''System:''' You toss the powder into the air, and as it slowly settles to the earth as twinkling motes of light, a coffer begins to take shape...

====Cutscene====
'''Granson:''' This must be the Claws of Orthus.
'''Granson:''' All that's left is to decide when and where we want to confront the eater...
'''Granson:''' Or we could deal with it here and now. Speak of the devil and he shall appear...
'''Granson:''' Hey there, old man. I don't know you, and you don't know me...but I know your story. I know this isn't you. And I know that if Lady Sauldia was here, she'd say the same thing...
'''Granson:''' It'll all be over soon. I promise you...

====Solo Duty====
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Come! Let's put the poor bastard out of his misery!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' What the─ Did he do that!?
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Well that's hardly fair! Hold on, sinner!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' This is surprisingly complicated... Still with me?
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Something doesn't smell right. Stand back!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Tough ol' bastard, isn't he? But I'm no slouch myself...
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Oh, come on! Not again!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Looks like it's my turn. I'm counting on you, sinner!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Wicked white, I felt that one. Thanks!

====Cutscene====
'''Granson:''' <pant> <pant> Damn eater...let him go! He's not your bloody puppet!
'''Granson:''' Heh, finally... You watching, Milinda?

'''Branden's Shade:''' Now...and ever after, my lady Sauldia... My sword is yours...to command...

'''Granson:''' Branden? He's still in there?

'''Branden's Shade:''' I'll not hesitate again. No matter the cost─no matter the sacrifice...

'''Granson:''' ...Wait. Is he trapped in the memory still?
'''Granson:''' You're wrong, Branden! That's not what she would want! Let go of your anger! Let go of her!

'''Branden's Shade:''' ...But that would make me lesser in your eyes, wouldn't it? To shoulder a burden that need not be mine. No. I will not forsake compassion and love. I will not dishonor your memory.
'''Branden's Shade:''' Oh, my lady Sauldia...

'''Granson:''' ...He's gone.
'''Granson:''' And with that, the three treasures of the royal family are reunited. Now we've just got to find a place to stick them so that no scavenger ever stumbles upon them again.
'''Granson:''' Least we can do for the princess and her knight, am I right?
'''Granson:''' Maybe Sul Oul will have some ideas. Let's head back to Pla Enni.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Granson:''' After you, [Forename].

===Speaking with Sul Oul at Pla Enni (Cutscene)===
'''Sul Oul:''' It is done? Branden has been laid to rest?

'''Granson:''' You saw us when we arrived. Do you really have to ask?

'''Sul Oul:''' No, I suppose not. Oh, my dear friend...I pray you have found peace.
'''Sul Oul:''' And what of you, Granson? Has the turmoil in your heart subsided at last?

'''Granson:''' Aye, I suppose so...though, to be honest, it felt like I made my peace with him before we even fought...

'''Sul Oul:''' Because you finally saw him for what he was, and accepted that truth into your heart. The battle was but an afterthought.

'''Granson:''' Hah! Easy for you to say. You didn't have to cross blades with the bloke.
'''Granson:''' By the way─I've brought you some gifts.

'''Sul Oul:''' The three royal relics of Voeburt! Then Branden was safeguarding both the bracelet and the choker...

'''Granson:''' And now it's your turn to look after the whole lot. That's what Lady Sauldia and her knight would've wanted, I reckon.

'''Sul Oul:''' Yes, of course... That their souls may sleep soundly forevermore, we shall enshrine these relics for all eternity...

'''Granson:''' Now that that's settled, I suppose we should be on our way. There's a detour I'll have to take, but afterwards I'd like to speak with you back at the usual spot in the Crystarium.
'''Granson:''' Be well, Sul Oul.

'''Sul Oul:''' I think that one has a bright life ahead of him. Few can find the strength to overcome such terrible tragedy, but he did.
'''Sul Oul:''' As have you, on no few occasions, I am sure.
'''Sul Oul:''' It has been a pleasure, [Forename]. Do visit me should you ever yearn to hear an old fool prattle on and on.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Sul Oul:''' ...Oh? You wish to listen to my ramblings now? Nay, I think not. Another time, [Forename], another time.

===Speaking with Granson in the Crystarium (Cutscene)===
'''Granson:''' Well met, sinner. Glad to see you made it back safe and sound.
'''Granson:''' Having returned to where it all began, I can't help but think back to when I first came here, thinking only of Dikaiosyne and my revenge. I was so wrapped up in my own personal affairs that I didn't realize I was only pushing others away...
'''Granson:''' Glynard was the only one who saw through the facade. He's a perceptive one, aye─took one look at me when I got back and broke into a smile.
'''Granson:''' But enough about him─I have yet to thank you properly, [Forename]! I owe you so much for sticking with me to the end...

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< So what's next for you, sinner? >'''
'''< ... >'''

'''''< So what's next for you, sinner? >'''''
'''Granson:''' Good question. Can't say I feel at home here or in Wright or anywhere else, so I might spend some time on the road. I may not be as skilled a fighter as you, but I reckon I'm better than most, and there's always someone in need of a reliable sword hand.

'''''< ... >'''''
'''Granson:''' What? At a loss for words? ''You''? Or are you getting misty-eyed at the thought of us parting ways? I'll still be around, you know.
'''Granson:''' Not here, though. Can't say I feel at home in the Crystarium or in Wright or anywhere else, so I might spend some time on the road. I may not be as skilled a fighter as you, but I recon I'm better than most, and there's always someone in need of a reliable sword hand.

'''(Both)'''
'''Granson:''' Milinda would want me to use my talents for a noble purpose, and helping folks in need fits the bill. Hells, isn't that what Branden and his comrades wound up doing in the end?
'''Granson:''' So─let's not call it a good-bye. Let's just say...until the next hunt.
'''Granson:''' Wheresoever you go, may you find shade, sinner.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Loythe]] in [[the Crystarium]].
*Wait for [[Lue-Reeq]] to return.
*Accompany Lue-Reeq to [[Rak'tika]].
*Defeat [[Andreia]]!
*Accompany Lue-Reeq to [[Kholusia]].
*Speak with Lue-Reeq in the Crystarium.

==Journal==
*Lue-Reeq wishes to confront an uncomfortable truth.

*Lue-Reeq is well aware that his martial prowess pales in comparison to yours, and that he is far more likely to hinder any effort to slay Andreia than to aid it. Now that the Virtue travels in the company of several eaters, a clever strategy is more important than ever, and to that end, the bounty hunter proposes the manufacture of a device that can generate a loud enough noise, as it was such a noise that rendered Renda-Rae powerless when she first faced Balam–Quitz. Before you can depart for the Crystalline Mean to seek an artisan's assistance, however, a servant of Lue-Reeq's lord father appears and demands that he renounce his chosen career and return to Eulmore at once, else he will be disowned. After a moment's hesitation, the young hunter marshals his courage and declares that the only family he acknowledges is Miss Olvara, his wet nurse. The die is cast, and you may now concentrate on the task at hand.

*Loythe of the Crystalline Mean is amused by your request for a noisemaking device, but is more than willing to design and craft it─provided you and Lue-Reeq can procure the necessary materials. Said materials will require one to travel to the far corners of Norvrandt and back, and so you steel yourself for another long journey, only for Lue-Reeq to declare that he has imposed upon you too much. You are to wait in the Crystarium while he alone fetches the various materials.

*When you are rejoined by Lue-Reeq, you are surprised not only to learn that he managed to procure every item requested, but worked closely with Loythe to learn how to craft his secret weapon by himself. The noisemaker arrows, as he calls them, should serve to incapacitate Andreia in the heat of battle. With these final preparations complete, you depart for Rak'tika once more.

*Though you have known many a harrowing battle, the fight against Andreia and her party of eaters proves to be one of your greatest challenges yet. Fortunately, Lue-Reeq's noisemaker arrows serve to turn the tide, and after defeating each of her comrades in turn, the Virtue soon falls.

*As the essence of Andreia begins to dissipate, you glimpse the last vestiges of Renda-Rae, the fallen Warrior of Light. She speaks of guilt and of love for her comrades, of the fear that gripped her heart and the courage that blossomed from it. Of a last, desperate attempt to save all she and her friends held dear, knowing what it would cost, knowing that it would surely fail...for it could be no other way. The shade's parting words leave Lue-Reeq confused, and so you explain to him how the Warriors of Light stood valiantly against the Flood of Light and sacrificed their lives to halt its advance. For his ignorance, the hunter is ashamed, though he hopes in helping lay Renda-Rae's soul to rest he has earned a modicum of forgiveness.

*Olvara is proud and relieved to see you and Lue-Reeq return, and as one hunter to another she thanks you for saving her hero's soul. She promises to preserve the truth of her tale so that future generations will know the whole of her story─of Renda-Rae, the greatest hunter who ever lived, and a true friend. Having said your good-byes, all that remains is to return to the Crystarium to claim the bounty and celebrate your victory.

*Over a final feast, Lue-Reeq presses you to reveal the whole story of how you know so much about the Warriors of Light, and so you tell him of how you faced them in the Source, as the Warriors of Darkness, and the terrible sacrifice they had to make to even have the chance to save the First. This revelation only serves to reinforce the conclusion Lue-Reeq has already reached: that he does not have what it takes to walk the same path as you, much as he has enjoyed your time together. But there is no shame in it, for he has also realized how important Miss Olvara is to him, and so he would instead return to Kholusia and repay her for the kindness she showed him in his youth by caring for her in her old age. Thus ends the glorious partnership that was Reeq and [Forename]

==Dialogue==
'''(Optional)'''
'''Olvara:''' I do hope you continue to remain good friends from now on...

===Accepting the quest (Cutscene)===
'''Lue-Reeq:''' [Forename], my friend, my partner─I trust you are ready?
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Good, good. That is very good indeed, for before we depart to face Andreia for what I pray is the final time, I have a confession to make...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I...I may have been somewhat misleading when I intimated the tremendousness of my martial prowess. In truth, it...rather pales in comparison to yours.

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< Uh huh. >'''
'''< Do tell. >'''

'''< Uh huh. >'''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' ...I gather you were not unaware of this. Truly, you are as perceptive as you are mighty.

'''< Do tell. >'''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' You must be terribly crestfallen, I am sure. It is my deepest regret that I allowed you to labor under the misapprehension that we were equals for so long.

'''(Both)'''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' In my defense, I must say that when I realized what an exceedingly powerful warrior you truly are, I was dumbstruck. I struggled to conceive of how even to broach the subject...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Furthermore, I must admit that great majority─nay, all of our efforts to hone our skills in preparation for the battle to come have been entirely for my benefit, that the disparity between us might not be so readily apparent.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' To think that my insecurity drove me to postpone this fateful day for so long...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' In my cowardice I allowed Andreia to assemble a party of followers. Where before we might have only to contend with the one foe, we must now confront five. And for all my preparation, I am still no more likely to be an asset to you than a hindrance.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' But perhaps that need not be the case. In discussing this grim reality with Miss Olvara while you were away, we hit upon a potential stratagem.

'''Olvara:''' Recall you Renda-Rae's greatest strength and weakness─her preternatural hearing? We can be reasonably certain that Andreia is possessed of it as well.
'''Olvara:''' Therefore, if you were to fashion a device that could produce a loud noise at will, you could use it to secure an advantage in your battle.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' What I lack in strength of arms I may make up for with guile. While it will not guarantee us victory, it will surely bring us one step closer...

'''Diligent Manservant:''' A thousand pardons, Master Reeq, but I am come to deliver a message from your lord father.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' Daddy? What does he want with me now?

'''(If night has NOT been restored to Eulmore)'''
'''Diligent Manservant:''' It has come to your lord father's attention that you have been engaged in the hunting of sin eaters, in gross violation of Eulmore's most sacred virtues. He commands you to cease all such activities at once and return to the city forthwith.

'''(If night has been restored to Eulmore)'''
'''Diligent Manservant:''' It has come to your lord father's attention that you have acquitted yourself rather poorly as a bounty hunter and have brought terrible shame upon your family name. He commands you to cease all such activities at once and return to the city forthwith.

''(Both)''
'''Diligent Manservant:''' Should you fail to do so, you will be stripped of your citizenship and family name. No further financial assistance will be provided.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' Oh...Oh dear...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' You may tell my father and my mother the following: that I am Lue-Reeq, proud bounty hunter, slayer of sin eaters. That I have no intention of renouncing this cause, and that they are free to do as they deem fit.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Tell them...that if they have no son, then I have no parents─that I have no family save Miss Olvara, who has shown me more love than they ever have!

'''Diligent Manservant:''' Very good, Master Reeq. I shall deliver your reply to them at once.
''the Manservant leaves''

'''Lue-Reeq:''' Right. Now that that's settled, we can get to work crafting that giant noisemaker of ours. Let us consult with the craftsmen of the Crystalline Mean at once.

'''Olvara:''' I daresay you lit a fire in him, [Forename]. I never thought I'd see the day when he'd muster the courage to say anything like that to his parents...

====Optional====
'''Olvara:''' Thank you for being a friend to Reeq. For the longest time he struggled to find his way, but ever since he met you, he has carried himself with a new sense of purpose. A renewed understanding of who he is and who he wants to be.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' For all my time in the Crystarium, I cannot recall ever visiting the Crystalline Mean. Nevertheless, I am sure there is someone here who can assist us.

===Speaking with Loythe in the Crystarium===
'''Loythe:''' Hmm? What's all this, then? You got something what needs making?

'''Lue-Reeq:''' Indeed I do, good sir. I wish to commission the production of a device that can generate a tremendously loud sound. It must be small and light enough to be carried by a single individual as well.

'''Loythe:''' Ain't that one of the stranger requests I've heard... Well, if it's just noise you want, then I'd wager we could make do with a special blend of firesand.
'''Loythe:''' Aye, I think I've got just the recipe for your needs. I'll need some choice ingredients, mind─and you'll need to go and fetch them for me.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' F-Fetch... Ahem. What precisely is it that you require?

'''Loythe:''' Well, there's this one particular beastie native to Kholusia what's got a singular diet and leaves these massive dung piles─the fresher the better, if it please. A few varieties of grasses native to Rak'tika... Oh, and some iron ore from Amh Araeng. I can give you a list if you like.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' To wit, I will need to travel to the far corners of Norvrandt and back...? Oh dear, this is rather more involved than I...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' No, no─no more excuses! I will do whatever must needs be done to see this through to the end!
'''Lue-Reeq:''' My friend, I will not impose these tasks upon you. I insist that you remain here while I go and fetch the required materials.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Loythe:''' Huh, he gonna be all right getting all that stuff by himself? I mean, if it were you, I'd not think twice about it...

===Waiting for Lue-Reeq to return (Cutscene)===
'''Lue-Reeq:''' It...it was...a series of surprisingly harrowing experiences...but in the end I managed to obtain the materials necessary for the construction of my secret weapon.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' That gentleman was rather accommodating. Despite being somewhat put out that I had not any gil to pay him for his labor, he was nevertheless willing to teach me how to craft the arrows myself. He said he found my industriousness...endearing.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I must confess, despite being utterly exhausted by all this busywork, it has been somewhat refreshing.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' And now that my noisemaker arrows are ready, I cannot wait to put them to the proof! If all goes to plan, the explosions should be loud enough to incapacitate Andreia for a time.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Let us put an end to her tale, my friend, and in so doing write the opening of ours─that of Reeq and [Forename], bounty hunters extraordinaire! Come─Rak'tika and glory await!

===Accompaning Lue-Reeq to Rak'tika===
'''Lue-Reeq:''' If I may make one small request before we begin: please, for the love of the gods, please try not to succumb to any visions of people's pasts! This really could not be a worse time...

====Cutscene====
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Well? Are you still with me in the here and now?
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Excellent! Then we can attend to the task at hand without worry. Let us lay to rest our fellow hunters and grant Renda-Rae the peace a hero deserves!

====Solo Duty====
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' I'll distract Andreia with a noisemaker arrow.
Seize the opening to strike!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Here goes nothing...

'''Andreia:''' Ugh... <groan>

'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' It worked! It really worked! I can't believe it...
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Huh!? Are they...defending her? Dammit!
We'll have to deal with them first!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Godsdamn you, Lanbyrd! I'm sorry you're dead but you don't have to be such a bloody arse about it!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Leave me alone, Lanbyrd!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Just die already!

'''Immaculate Warrior:''' Graaagh!

'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' What did I do to deserve such attention?
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Leave me alone, Lanbyrd!

'''Immaculate Warrior:''' Graaagh!

'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' That's it! Only two more to go!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Huh!?
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' I'll draw off Andreia! You handle the knight!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Your fight is with me, Andreia!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Gah! That bloody knight is in the way. Dispatch him first!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Now, [Forename]! Now's our chance!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Heads up! Arrows incoming!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' It's just us and Andreia now! It's time for Reeq and [Forename] to write a new legend for the ages!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' [Forename], to me!
'''Lue-Reeq of the Gilded Bow:''' Rest in peace, Renda-Rae...

====Cutscene====
'''Lue-Reeq:''' We...we won... Even seeing it and saying it, it hardly feels real...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Huh? What's that you've got there?
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Wicked white, you're...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' You're Renda-Rae. The real Renda-Rae...

'''Renda-Rae's Shade:''' I should've never betrayed your trust. Never again, I swore. Never again.
'''Renda-Rae's Shade:''' Balam-Quitz, the Shadowkeeper, the Flood─come what may, we would face it together. No matter how hard it got, or how terrified I was...
'''Renda-Rae's Shade:''' That's what it means to let someone into your heart, knowing full well that nothing lasts forever. To welcome the fear, and the pain. The sorrow. When I lost my parents. When we laid the keeper low. You felt it too, didn't you?
'''Renda-Rae's Shade:''' To place our faith in a desperate, hopeless attempt to save everyone...and to see it amount to naught in the end.
'''Renda-Rae's Shade:''' What else could we do but offer up that tiny remainder in a final, futile effort? Even knowing, deep down, it was worth but a few moments more...

'''Lue-Reeq:''' What is this...

'''Renda-Rae's Shade:''' You gave me fear...and that fear gave me strength...

'''Lue-Reeq:''' Wait! There's so much I want to ask!
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I don't understand. What was she talking about?
'''Lue-Reeq:''' It's not right. It's not fair. Heroes sacrificing themselves for nothing. Becoming villains. Being forgotten...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' ...Thank you, [Forename]. I could have never gotten this far without your help.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I had no idea who Renda-Rae or any of the other Warriors of Light truly were. 'Twas all ancient history to me. Why would I care who some eaters once were?
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I was no better than my parents, judging them out of hand. Dismissing their sacrifice, not bothering to look deeper. It made it all the easier to pursue Andreia for my own amusement.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I pray I've made up for it in part by helping to lay Renda-Rae's soul to rest...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Miss Olvara is probably worried sick about us both. I...we should return to Kholusia and let her know we're all right.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I can't wait to tell Miss Olvara everything! And I should definitely use some of the bounty to treat her...

===Accompaning Lue-Reeq to Kholusia===
'''Olvara:''' My little Reeq, [Forename]! Congratulations on a job well done!
'''Olvara:''' And from one hunter to another, thank you for helping Renda-Rae to achieve a measure of peace. She was a hero to me too, and it broke my heart to know what had become of her...
'''Olvara:''' To have your legacy tarnished so, to have the world call you villain, even still. But at least I can take comfort in knowing she can finally enjoy a long rest.

'''Lue-Reeq:''' Whatever others may say, we will preserve the truth in story and song. Renda-Rae, the bravest hunter there ever was! And, more importantly, a true friend to those she held dear.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I can only hope to measure up to her example someday! For now, however, I say we return to the Crystarium and raise a glass in celebration!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Olvara:''' ...So she brought down Balam-Quitz not alone, but with the aid of her comrades? Hmm...it may not be the story I was taught, but somehow...somehow it rings truer to my ear...

===Speaking with Lue-Reeq in the Crystarium===
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Andreia's bounty has been paid to us in full, my friend! So come─let us eat, drink, and be merry!

====Cutscene====
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I've been meaning to ask, [Forename]...but I have the impression you are rather more acquainted with these Warriors of Light than you've been letting on. What exactly do you know about them?
'''Lue-Reeq:''' That...that is so preposterous a tale that I have no choice but to assume it is true. Offering up their lives to first cross the rift, then to halt the Flood... Wicked white...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' It must've taken her so much courage to see it through in those final moments.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' A courage born not of a desire for glory or dedication to an ideal, but of fear and love for those with whom she had forged unshakable bonds. Her comrades.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I won't pretend that we have anything even approaching such a powerful connection, but I would like to think that if you were in mortal peril that I would fly to your side without hesitation...
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Having said that, if I were tested as Renda-Rae were─if I were challenged to offer up my life for others, without even knowing if it would amount to aught...I doubt I could rise to the occasion.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I am a child and a fool who knows little of the world. I have been coddled and spoiled, and have only just tasted the bitter fruits of life that you and countless others sup on daily.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' You are made of sterner stuff, [Forename]. Far sterner than me...and that is why I know I can never walk your path.

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< Do you wish you could? >'''
'''< No shame in that. >'''

'''''< Do you wish you could? >'''''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' How could I not? I cannot recall a time I have felt happier and more alive than when I have traveled with you.

'''''< No shame in that. >'''''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Oh, but there is! I cannot recall a time I have felt happier and more alive than when I traveled with you.

'''(Both)'''
'''Lue-Reeq:''' But you have countless other journeys ahead of you, don't you? For you are destined for greater challenges─whereas I am suited to rather more pedestrian affairs. Know your limits, as Miss Olvara used to say.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Meeting her again after all these years─seeing how much older and more frail she'd become made me realize how little time together we have left. She shouldn't have to live out her days living alone and in squalor.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' I have decided it will not be so. I shall return to Kholusia and attend to her needs, for I would do my utmost to repay the love and kindness that made me the man I am today.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Therefore, though it pains me to say it, I fear this celebration must also mark the end─or at the very least a tentative suspension─of the glorious partnership that was Reeq and [Forename], bounty hunters extraordinaire.
'''Lue-Reeq:''' Should you ever find yourself in Kholusia, however, do come and pay us a visit!

==Steps==
*Use the mushroom powder to reveal the hidden coffer.
*Defeat [[Dikaiosyne]]!
*Speak with [[Sul Oul]] at [[Pla Enni]].
*Speak with [[Granson]] in [[the Crystarium]].

==Journal==

*Sul Oul is eager to hear what Granson has to say.

*Having taken ample time to consider the nature of the man Branden was, and the man Granson had convinced himself he must be, the hunter has at last accepted the simple truth: that a hardened heart full of hate is ultimately empty. There is naught to be gained from playing the part of a vengeful hero, for there are only victims in his story. And so he must bring an end to the tale and lay Milinda and Branden's spirits to rest...and then move on. Satisfied that Granson has at last turned away from the brink, Sul Oul reveals the location of the Claws of Orthus, and furnishes you with a satchel of powder to dispel the glamour that shields it from view.

*After coming to the designated location in Timh Gyeus, you cast the powder into the air with a flourish, which settles to reveal the hidden coffer. Granson kneels and withdraws the Claws of Orthus, and as if on cue, Dikaiosyne appears to claim his prize, and the battle is joined.

*Though your enemy is formidable indeed, together you and Granson manage to lay the fallen Warrior of Light low. As he begins to fade into motes of aether, Branden seems to regain a fragment of his lost self, as he reflects on perhaps the most painful decision of his life. To your surprise, however, you learn that like Granson, he managed to reject the mistaken belief that he need forsake compassion and love to move on, and instead chose to embrace it, that he might honor the memory of the lady Sauldia.

*Sul Oul is relieved to hear that Branden's soul is at peace...and that the turmoil in Granson's heart has subsided as well. With the deed done, the hunter has no need for the royal relics of Voeburt, and so he entrusts them to the former retainer that they may be enshrined in the fallen kingdom forevermore.

*Having returned to the Crystarium, his hunt at an end, Granson turns his thoughts to the future, and realizes that he no longer feels at home there or in Wright or anywhere else. The road shall host him for the time being, as he believes that someone, somewhere must surely be in need of a reliable sword hand. Though your time together is at an end, there is no reason to think you will not meet again, and so you bid farewell to each other...until the next hunt.

==Dialogue==
'''(Optional)'''
'''Granson:''' ...

===Quest Acceptance (Cutscene)===
'''Sul Oul:''' Granson. I have given you ample time to consider the path that has brought you here...and where it invariably leads all who walk it.

'''Granson:''' ...I didn't know what to do after I lost Milinda. How to mourn her or how to live. I felt...that if I put it all on Dikaiosyne, put my everything into the hunt, that at least I wouldn't have to think about myself, or what comes next.
'''Granson:''' I wanted to hollow myself out...and fill up that hole with hate. Forget who I was. And irony of ironies, that's just what the poor bastard tried to do to himself a century ago, too, isn't it?
'''Granson:''' Heh. “Hard men” making hard choices... What rot.

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< Hold on to Milinda and the memories you shared. Let that love guide you. >'''
'''< Think not of Dikaiosyne, but Branden. Grant him peace and you will find your own. >'''
'''< ... >'''

'''''< Hold on to Milinda and the memories you shared. Let that love guide you. >'''''
'''Granson:''' ...You're right. I don't need the hate. Never did. I'll finish it for Milinda...and for Branden. And then...I'll move on.

'''''< Think not of Dikaiosyne, but Branden. Grant him peace and you will find your own. >'''''
'''Granson:''' ...Maybe. Still, that thing's no more than a mindless eater. Nothing it can say or do to make it right. So I'll finish the hunt...for Milinda...and for Branden. And then...I'll move on.

'''''< ... >'''''
'''Granson:''' Ah, sorry. Having planted my head so far up my own arse, it's taking me time to remove it. Don't worry, I'll finish the hunt with you─but for the right reasons. For Milinda...and for Branden. And then...I'll move on.

'''(All)'''
'''Sul Oul:''' ...Move on, you say?

'''Granson:''' I can't live off hate. Shouldn't've made it this far, frankly. And the more I try to reach for it, the more I find...sorrow? Pity?

'''Sul Oul:''' Curse not fate, but mourn her victims. Remember the dead as they lived.

'''Granson:''' Aye, something like that. Reckon [Forename] would agree. And Milinda, if she were here, would probably slap me a dozen times and call me a bloody fool for acting the way I have.
'''Granson:''' Or maybe you've been thinking about doing that in her stead, eh?
'''Granson:''' Apologies for treating you with such disrespect before, Sul Oul. I'd like to claim I finally understand what you've been trying to tell me all this time, but I'm still getting my head around it─

'''Sul Oul:''' Recognizing your faults is the first and most important step. I will tell you what I know of the Claws of Orthus.
'''Sul Oul:''' The ring, together with the bracelet and choker were three relics passed down through the royal family over generations, signifying the owner's right to rule.
'''Sul Oul:''' Princess Sauldia was the last of her line, and after her death, they were stored in a sanctuary for safekeeping. However, a year ago, a band of thieves learned of its existence...

'''Granson:''' The ones who stole the Fangs and Eyes of Orthus?

'''Sul Oul:''' Yes. The relics were concealed with magical wards. I can only presume that once they were spirited away, Dikaiosyne was then able to sense their presence.

'''Granson:''' Even in death, a slave to duty, you said? You think he pursued the thieves out of an instinctive loyalty to his princess?

'''Sul Oul:''' That I do. After all, he was content to leave them be so long as they remained hidden.

'''Granson:''' Only two of the three were taken? Then the third is still─

'''Sul Oul:''' Claim the Claws of Orthus and he will surely come for you, yes.
'''Sul Oul:''' Timh Gyeus is where you must go. Once you arrive at the place I marked on your map, cast this powder into the air. The glamour will fade, and you will see the chest with the ring. The rest is up to you.

'''Granson:''' Thank you, Sul Oul. I promise we will bring your friend peace.
'''Granson:''' With me, sinner!

'''Sul Oul:''' And may you find peace as well, child...

====Optional====
'''Sul Oul:''' Go to the place I marked on your map, and there use the powder in the satchel to dispel the glamour concealing the coffer. You will find the ring within.

'''Granson:''' This should be the place. You've got the powder on you, right?

===Using the mushroom powder to reveal the hidden coffer===
'''System:''' You toss the powder into the air, and as it slowly settles to the earth as twinkling motes of light, a coffer begins to take shape...

====Cutscene====
'''Granson:''' This must be the Claws of Orthus.
'''Granson:''' All that's left is to decide when and where we want to confront the eater...
'''Granson:''' Or we could deal with it here and now. Speak of the devil and he shall appear...
'''Granson:''' Hey there, old man. I don't know you, and you don't know me...but I know your story. I know this isn't you. And I know that if Lady Sauldia was here, she'd say the same thing...
'''Granson:''' It'll all be over soon. I promise you...

====Solo Duty====
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Come! Let's put the poor bastard out of his misery!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' What the─ Did he do that!?
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Well that's hardly fair! Hold on, sinner!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' This is surprisingly complicated... Still with me?
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Something doesn't smell right. Stand back!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Tough ol' bastard, isn't he? But I'm no slouch myself...
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Oh, come on! Not again!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Looks like it's my turn. I'm counting on you, sinner!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Wicked white, I felt that one. Thanks!

====Cutscene====
'''Granson:''' <pant> <pant> Damn eater...let him go! He's not your bloody puppet!
'''Granson:''' Heh, finally... You watching, Milinda?

'''Branden's Shade:''' Now...and ever after, my lady Sauldia... My sword is yours...to command...

'''Granson:''' Branden? He's still in there?

'''Branden's Shade:''' I'll not hesitate again. No matter the cost─no matter the sacrifice...

'''Granson:''' ...Wait. Is he trapped in the memory still?
'''Granson:''' You're wrong, Branden! That's not what she would want! Let go of your anger! Let go of her!

'''Branden's Shade:''' ...But that would make me lesser in your eyes, wouldn't it? To shoulder a burden that need not be mine. No. I will not forsake compassion and love. I will not dishonor your memory.
'''Branden's Shade:''' Oh, my lady Sauldia...

'''Granson:''' ...He's gone.
'''Granson:''' And with that, the three treasures of the royal family are reunited. Now we've just got to find a place to stick them so that no scavenger ever stumbles upon them again.
'''Granson:''' Least we can do for the princess and her knight, am I right?
'''Granson:''' Maybe Sul Oul will have some ideas. Let's head back to Pla Enni.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Granson:''' After you, [Forename].

===Speaking with Sul Oul at Pla Enni (Cutscene)===
'''Sul Oul:''' It is done? Branden has been laid to rest?

'''Granson:''' You saw us when we arrived. Do you really have to ask?

'''Sul Oul:''' No, I suppose not. Oh, my dear friend...I pray you have found peace.
'''Sul Oul:''' And what of you, Granson? Has the turmoil in your heart subsided at last?

'''Granson:''' Aye, I suppose so...though, to be honest, it felt like I made my peace with him before we even fought...

'''Sul Oul:''' Because you finally saw him for what he was, and accepted that truth into your heart. The battle was but an afterthought.

'''Granson:''' Hah! Easy for you to say. You didn't have to cross blades with the bloke.
'''Granson:''' By the way─I've brought you some gifts.

'''Sul Oul:''' The three royal relics of Voeburt! Then Branden was safeguarding both the bracelet and the choker...

'''Granson:''' And now it's your turn to look after the whole lot. That's what Lady Sauldia and her knight would've wanted, I reckon.

'''Sul Oul:''' Yes, of course... That their souls may sleep soundly forevermore, we shall enshrine these relics for all eternity...

'''Granson:''' Now that that's settled, I suppose we should be on our way. There's a detour I'll have to take, but afterwards I'd like to speak with you back at the usual spot in the Crystarium.
'''Granson:''' Be well, Sul Oul.

'''Sul Oul:''' I think that one has a bright life ahead of him. Few can find the strength to overcome such terrible tragedy, but he did.
'''Sul Oul:''' As have you, on no few occasions, I am sure.
'''Sul Oul:''' It has been a pleasure, [Forename]. Do visit me should you ever yearn to hear an old fool prattle on and on.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Sul Oul:''' ...Oh? You wish to listen to my ramblings now? Nay, I think not. Another time, [Forename], another time.

===Speaking with Granson in the Crystarium (Cutscene)===
'''Granson:''' Well met, sinner. Glad to see you made it back safe and sound.
'''Granson:''' Having returned to where it all began, I can't help but think back to when I first came here, thinking only of Dikaiosyne and my revenge. I was so wrapped up in my own personal affairs that I didn't realize I was only pushing others away...
'''Granson:''' Glynard was the only one who saw through the facade. He's a perceptive one, aye─took one look at me when I got back and broke into a smile.
'''Granson:''' But enough about him─I have yet to thank you properly, [Forename]! I owe you so much for sticking with me to the end...

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< So what's next for you, sinner? >'''
'''< ... >'''

'''''< So what's next for you, sinner? >'''''
'''Granson:''' Good question. Can't say I feel at home here or in Wright or anywhere else, so I might spend some time on the road. I may not be as skilled a fighter as you, but I reckon I'm better than most, and there's always someone in need of a reliable sword hand.

'''''< ... >'''''
'''Granson:''' What? At a loss for words? ''You''? Or are you getting misty-eyed at the thought of us parting ways? I'll still be around, you know.
'''Granson:''' Not here, though. Can't say I feel at home in the Crystarium or in Wright or anywhere else, so I might spend some time on the road. I may not be as skilled a fighter as you, but I recon I'm better than most, and there's always someone in need of a reliable sword hand.

'''(Both)'''
'''Granson:''' Milinda would want me to use my talents for a noble purpose, and helping folks in need fits the bill. Hells, isn't that what Branden and his comrades wound up doing in the end?
'''Granson:''' So─let's not call it a good-bye. Let's just say...until the next hunt.
'''Granson:''' Wheresoever you go, may you find shade, sinner.

'''Granson:''' Or we could deal with it here and now. Speak of the devil and he shall appear...
'''Granson:''' Hey there, old man. I don't know you, and you don't know me...but I know your story. I know this isn't you. And I know that if Lady Sauldia was here, she'd say the same thing...
'''Granson:''' It'll all be over soon. I promise you...

====Solo Duty====
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Come! Let's put the poor bastard out of his misery!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' What the─ Did he do that!?
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Well that's hardly fair! Hold on, sinner!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' This is surprisingly complicated... Still with me?
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Something doesn't smell right. Stand back!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Tough ol' bastard, isn't he? But I'm no slouch myself...
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Oh, come on! Not again!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Looks like it's my turn. I'm counting on you, sinner!
'''Granson of the Mournful Blade:''' Wicked white, I felt that one. Thanks!

====Cutscene====
'''Granson:''' <pant> <pant> Damn eater...let him go! He's not your bloody puppet!
'''Granson:''' Heh, finally... You watching, Milinda?

'''Branden's Shade:''' Now...and ever after, my lady Sauldia... My sword is yours...to command...

'''Granson:''' Branden? He's still in there?

'''Branden's Shade:''' I'll not hesitate again. No matter the cost─no matter the sacrifice...

'''Granson:''' ...Wait. Is he trapped in the memory still?
'''Granson:''' You're wrong, Branden! That's not what she would want! Let go of your anger! Let go of her!

'''Branden's Shade:''' ...But that would make me lesser in your eyes, wouldn't it? To shoulder a burden that need not be mine. No. I will not forsake compassion and love. I will not dishonor your memory.
'''Branden's Shade:''' Oh, my lady Sauldia...

'''Granson:''' ...He's gone.
'''Granson:''' And with that, the three treasures of the royal family are reunited. Now we've just got to find a place to stick them so that no scavenger ever stumbles upon them again.
'''Granson:''' Least we can do for the princess and her knight, am I right?
'''Granson:''' Maybe Sul Oul will have some ideas. Let's head back to Pla Enni.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Granson:''' After you, [Forename].

===Speaking with Sul Oul at Pla Enni (Cutscene)===
'''Sul Oul:''' It is done? Branden has been laid to rest?

'''Granson:''' You saw us when we arrived. Do you really have to ask?

'''Sul Oul:''' No, I suppose not. Oh, my dear friend...I pray you have found peace.
'''Sul Oul:''' And what of you, Granson? Has the turmoil in your heart subsided at last?

'''Granson:''' Aye, I suppose so...though, to be honest, it felt like I made my peace with him before we even fought...

'''Sul Oul:''' Because you finally saw him for what he was, and accepted that truth into your heart. The battle was but an afterthought.

'''Granson:''' Hah! Easy for you to say. You didn't have to cross blades with the bloke.
'''Granson:''' By the way─I've brought you some gifts.

'''Sul Oul:''' The three royal relics of Voeburt! Then Branden was safeguarding both the bracelet and the choker...

'''Granson:''' And now it's your turn to look after the whole lot. That's what Lady Sauldia and her knight would've wanted, I reckon.

'''Sul Oul:''' Yes, of course... That their souls may sleep soundly forevermore, we shall enshrine these relics for all eternity...

'''Granson:''' Now that that's settled, I suppose we should be on our way. There's a detour I'll have to take, but afterwards I'd like to speak with you back at the usual spot in the Crystarium.
'''Granson:''' Be well, Sul Oul.

'''Sul Oul:''' I think that one has a bright life ahead of him. Few can find the strength to overcome such terrible tragedy, but he did.
'''Sul Oul:''' As have you, on no few occasions, I am sure.
'''Sul Oul:''' It has been a pleasure, [Forename]. Do visit me should you ever yearn to hear an old fool prattle on and on.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Sul Oul:''' ...Oh? You wish to listen to my ramblings now? Nay, I think not. Another time, [Forename], another time.

===Speaking with Granson in the Crystarium (Cutscene)===
'''Granson:''' Well met, sinner. Glad to see you made it back safe and sound.
'''Granson:''' Having returned to where it all began, I can't help but think back to when I first came here, thinking only of Dikaiosyne and my revenge. I was so wrapped up in my own personal affairs that I didn't realize I was only pushing others away...
'''Granson:''' Glynard was the only one who saw through the facade. He's a perceptive one, aye─took one look at me when I got back and broke into a smile.
'''Granson:''' But enough about him─I have yet to thank you properly, [Forename]! I owe you so much for sticking with me to the end...

'''< What will you say?>'''
'''< So what's next for you, sinner? >'''
'''< ... >'''

'''''< So what's next for you, sinner? >'''''
'''Granson:''' Good question. Can't say I feel at home here or in Wright or anywhere else, so I might spend some time on the road. I may not be as skilled a fighter as you, but I reckon I'm better than most, and there's always someone in need of a reliable sword hand.

'''''< ... >'''''
'''Granson:''' What? At a loss for words? ''You''? Or are you getting misty-eyed at the thought of us parting ways? I'll still be around, you know.
'''Granson:''' Not here, though. Can't say I feel at home in the Crystarium or in Wright or anywhere else, so I might spend some time on the road. I may not be as skilled a fighter as you, but I recon I'm better than most, and there's always someone in need of a reliable sword hand.

'''(Both)'''
'''Granson:''' Milinda would want me to use my talents for a noble purpose, and helping folks in need fits the bill. Hells, isn't that what Branden and his comrades wound up doing in the end?
'''Granson:''' So─let's not call it a good-bye. Let's just say...until the next hunt.
'''Granson:''' Wheresoever you go, may you find shade, sinner.

==Steps==
* Speak with Ollier at the Gold Court.
* Speak with Ollier once more.
* Rendezvous with Usosuke while in uniform.
* While in uniform, speak with Usosuke at his next destination.
* While in uniform, speak with Usosuke at his third destination.
* Speak with Ajisai.
* Speak with Ollier at the Gold Saucer.
==Journal==
* Ollier locks eyes with you in a cordial, yet slightly desperate plea for help. ※This quest is available for a limited time only.

* On the bustling Steps of Nald do you cross paths with Ollier, an attendant of the Gold Saucer. Relieved to find a capable adventurer in the crowds, he wastes no time requesting your assistance in promoting the Make It Rain Campaign. You agree to his proposal, and he promptly bids you follow him to the Gold Court, where he intends to explain the finer details of your task. ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.

* You arrive at the Gold Court to find the Nagxian performer Ajisai and her troupe of Globe-trotter Otters entreating a crowd to celebrate the Make It Rain Campaign. Once Ollier introduces you all properly, he and Ajisai task you with accompanying the lead otter, Usosuke, across the Steps of Thal, and are ready to enact their plans when you are.

* To more efficiently promote the Gold Saucer's premier event, Ollier offers you a set of themed clothing, as well as a charming otter-shaped backpack. Outfitted with equipment fit for this golden occasion, you are set to seek out Usosuke at his first destination. ※If you should lose your uniform, speak with Ollier again to be reoutfitted.

* At the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, Usosuke instantly gains the adoration of a mother and daughter with his otterly charms, while you give voice to his excitement and convince the pair to visit the Gold Saucer. His work there completed, Usosuke dashes off towards the Weavers' Guild, expecting you to follow.

* Usosuke's gentlemanly gait attracts the attention of a stylish young man, who immediately questions the otter about his peculiar wardrobe. You expound upon his Mandervillian aesthetic, as well as the many attractions that await the fashion-conscious at the Gold Saucer. With another prospective patron won over, Usosuke scurries off towards the Goldsmiths' Guild.

* As you arrive in the vicinity of the Goldsmiths' Guild, you spot Usosuke with a trio of laborers. Captivated by the otter's garb, one of the men reveals that he and his companions helped construct the Gold Saucer in the wake of the Calamity. Usosuke, moved by the history of these men and their tale of the first Senor Sabotender, dashes back to the Gold Court with a newfound glint of determination in his eyes.

* With your rounds of the Steps of Thal ended, you report back to Ajisai, who notes a marked change in Usosuke's countenance. Thanks to your assistance, the otter has gained a new goal: to pose like Senor Sabotender and captivate audiences wherever he may go. Both Ajisai and Ollier express their gratitude to you for joining Usosuke, after which Ollier suggests you make for the Gold Saucer to claim your reward.

* As Ollier guides you through the Gold Saucer, the results of your collective endeavors are plain to see: throngs of smiling crowds line the corridors, dazzled by the Globe-trotter Otters and their newly learned poses. At the end of it all stands Godbert Manderville, who insists you keep your otter backpack and proudly presents you with a mammet modeled after Usosuke himself. Before he departs, Godbert reminds you to take advantage of the Make It Rain Campaign yourself—and that you will always be welcome in his halls.

=== If has not unlocked the Gold Saucer ===
Ollier: Now, who to recruit? Someone well versed in the Gold Saucer's attractions would be ideal, but...
System: In order to undertake this quest, you must first complete the quest “It Could Happen to You,” which can be undertaken at level 15.
=== Accepting the quest ===
> If the player has previously completed a Make It Rain campaign
Ollier: Why, {{alternatives|Mistress|Master}} [Surname]! What fortune that we should meet again. You have been well, I trust?
Ollier: Would that our meeting were under more fortunate circumstances. I'm in something of a bind at the moment, but perhaps that is why fate has guided your steps here. Might I borrow your ear a moment?
Ollier: As you may have heard, the Make It Rain Campaign is in full swing at the Gold Saucer. My peers and I are come to advertise the festivities, but we lack the staff required to cover the whole of Ul'dah. I do not wish to impose, but...might we prevail upon you for your assistance?
Ollier: Wonderful! It's a great help to us, truly.
Ollier: Pray meet me at the Gold Court, and I shall give a more detailed account of the circumstances─I believe our collaborators are scheduled to perform there shortly.
> Otherwise
Ollier: Greetings, {{alternatives|madam|sir}}. Pray forgive my presumption, but you are an adventurer, yes? You've the unmistakable air of their worldly sort. Courageous, diligent, hardworking...and generous with your time, I should hope.
Ollier: I am Ollier, and I serve as one of the many attendants at the Manderville Gold Saucer.
Ollier: The famed Make It Rain Campaign is currently underway, and we are come to Ul'dah to promote the festivities. If we wish to spread word of it more thoroughly, however, we will require extra support. Namely, yours, if you are so inclined.
Ollier: Wonderful! It's a great help to us, truly.
Ollier: Pray meet me at the Gold Court, and I shall give a more detailed account of the circumstances—I believe our collaborators are scheduled to perform there shortly.

Awed Onlooker: Why, it's adorable! And clever, as well!

Convinced Citizen: Such sleek, silky fur! But if it's not quite a Qiqirn, and not quite a rat, what ''is'' it, exactly...?
-optional end
=== Speak with Ollier at the Gold Court ===
Ollier: Ah, you've arrived! Ere I begin with explanations, I think it best to let you first experience this year's main attraction.
-cutscene start
Ajisai@Animated Announcer: People of Ul'dah, lend me your ears! Allow me to present my dear friends, come all the way from the Far East! These are the Globe-trotter Otters, this year's ambassadors to the Gold Saucer.
Ajisai@Animated Announcer: We bid you join us for the ongoing Make It Rain Campaign, where merriment abounds and dreams are made manifest with mounds of MGP! Whether you wish to play the Cactpot, race chocobos, or try your hand at mahjong, there is fun for one and all at the Manderville Gold Saucer!

Usosuke@Globe-trotter Otters: Prrr prrr... Pip pip!

Awed Onlooker: “Globe-trotter Otters,” she said? I've not seen their like before...but now I feel as though I've been missing out my whole life!

Convinced Citizen: And if we go to the Gold Saucer, we may encounter more of those furry little gentlemen? I suppose it ''has'' been a while since my last visit...

Ollier: The Auri performer there is Mistress Ajisai. She and her otter companions hail from the Far Eastern nation of Nagxia.
Ollier: I am told Lord Manderville owed her people a great debt. 'Twas he who invited her troupe to lead our campaign this year. An apt choice, for they dazzle and delight passersby with their performances.
Ollier: While promotional efforts here at the Gold Court are all well and good, we haven't the hands to cover as much ground as we initially envisioned. As such, I thought it prudent to seek out a trustworthy adventurer who could guide one of the otters around town.

Ajisai: Ah, this must be our assistant!
Ajisai: We are most delighted to meet you, [Forename]. I am Ajisai, and this here is my friend Usosuke.
Ajisai: Isn't this grand, Usosuke? [Forename] here is taking you to roam the city!

Usosuke: Prrr prrr.
Usosuke: Pip pip! Pip piiip!

Ajisai: You say {{alternatives|she|he}} seems a trustworthy sort? My, that's rather high praise coming from you, and quite rare besides.

Question: What will you say?

> You understand what he's saying?
Ajisai: You see, for generations, my home village has lived in harmony with otters. Having spent my entire life with them, I am well accustomed to their speech and mannerisms.
> Wait, you speak otter?
Ajisai: Indeed I do! For generations, my home village has lived in harmony with otters. Having spent my entire life with them, I am well accustomed to their speech and mannerisms.
> I'm sorry, say that again? I was distracted by your adorable otter...
Ajisai: I can scarcely blame you! Their round little eyes, their precious waggly tails, their damp, fuzzy heads... Oh, it's all so wondrous!
Ajisai: You see, for generations, my home village has lived in harmony with otters. Having spent my entire life with them, I am well accustomed to their speech and mannerisms.
---

Ollier: In fact, Mistress Ajisai is an avid conservationist who has dedicated her life to protecting the otters and their habitats. A portion of the proceeds from this year's campaign will go towards Nagxian otter preservation efforts.

Ajisai: That they will! It is precisely why I wish to bring as many patrons as possible to the Saucer. Their support—and yours—may save countless otters, so your cooperation would be most appreciated!

Ollier: For promotional purposes, we have prepared you a uniform and a special backpack, not unlike the ones Mistress Ajisai and I are wearing. When you are ready, just say the word and I shall present you with the raiments you require.
-cutscene end
-optional start
Usosuke: Pip pip. Prrr.

Ajisai: Nagxia and its neighbors were ravaged by the conflict between the Empire and the resistance. My village was no exception...
Ajisai: But fate has smiled upon us. You see, when Lord Godbert traveled across the star in his youth to hone his craft, he abided in our village for a time.
Ajisai: Moved by the plight that befell my home, he sought to strike a deal that would benefit us all. His earnest wish to repay my people's hospitality rekindled the fires of hope in our hearts.
-optional end

=== Speak with Ollier once more ===
Ollier: You are ready, then? Excellent. Once you have donned your uniform and backpack, pray accompany Master Usosuke as he makes his rounds of the Steps of Thal.

Ajisai: Usosuke is possessed of a keen instinct for locating crowds!
Ajisai: But given the limits of his vocabulary, we'd like for you to speak in his stead and inform patrons of the Gold Saucer's myriad wonders.
Ajisai: Ollier and I have a meeting to attend, but once we have finished, we mean to canvas the Steps of Nald with the rest of the Globe-trotter Otters in search of potential patrons. May the kami of fortune see fit to bless us both!
Ajisai: Now, be a good little otter for [Forename], Usosuke!

Usosuke: Pip!

Ollier: Do keep a sharp eye on Master Usosuke, my friend!

:Ollier applies a {{status effect|buff|File:Transfiguration_icon.png}} '''Transfiguration''' buff to the player, changing their attire to:
*{{game icon|Cactuar Neotunic}} in {{game icon|Soot Black Dye|Soot Black}}

''The player talks to the Delighted Daughter.''

Delighted Daughter: I see! So they're having a festival at the Gold Saucer! Will there be more adorable animals like him wandering about?

Question: What will you say?

> There's plenty of chocobos to meet at the racetrack.
> Their mascot's a lovable, huggable sabotender!
> There's a special strategy game just for mammets and minions!
---

Delighted Daughter: That sounds like a dream come true! I'd love to see it all for myself... Can we go to the Gold Saucer, Mother dearest? Can we?

Marveling Mother: We'll need to consult your father about it. He ''did'' recently bring up the subject of taking more family outings, though, so I doubt he'll refuse.

''The Delighted Daughter turns toward Usosuke.''

Delighted Daughter: Thank you so much for finding us! If I see you at the Gold Saucer, I'd love to spend more time with you!

Usosuke: Pip! Pip pip!

''The Mother and Daughter depart. Usosuke turns toward the player.''

Usosuke: Prrr. Pip pip!

System: Usosuke skitters off in search of prospective patrons. Follow him to help spread word of the Make It Rain Campaign!

Fashion-minded Fellow: What a masterfully woven tuxedo! Dapper enough to charm fashion aficionados, yet versatile enough to please even the sartorially challenged. Who are you, my diminutive debonair? And who are you ''wearing''?
-optional end

Usosuke: Pip pip. Pip! Pip prrr...

Fashion-minded Fellow: Why, I've not seen a classier creature in all my days. Have you some business with us?
Fashion-minded Fellow: Ah yes, the Make It Rain Campaign. Lord Godbert always did have a penchant for dressing his mascots in dignified raiments.
Fashion-minded Fellow: And I see you are dressed in some striking accoutrements as well. Tell me, as an aficionado of all things fashion, what might I gain from going to the Gold Saucer?

Question: What will you say?

> You can exchange MGP for all manner of unique garments.
> You can gain an appreciation for the Manderville aesthetic!
> You'll love Masked Rose's Fashion Report.
---

Fashion-minded Fellow: Is that right? I normally have no interest in gaudy amusement parks, but that sounds rather promising. Perhaps it's worth experiencing for myself.
Fashion-minded Fellow: Thank you, my fuzzy little gent. You have given me a fresh new perspective on the Saucer...and that tuxedo is absolutely flawless, I must say.

Usosuke: Pip!

''The Fashion-minded Fellow's group departs.''

Usosuke: Pip pip! Pip pip!

System: Usosuke sets off once more in search of potential patrons! Follow him to his next destination.

===While in uniform, speak with Usosuke at his third destination===
-optional start
Man with a Cactuar Earring: Hm? That outfit's awfully familiar...
-optional end

-cutscene start
Usosuke: Prrr! Pip pip pip! Prrr, pip pip!

Man with a Cactuar Earring: Heh, let me guess—something's afoot at the Gold Saucer?
Man with a Cactuar Earring: Ahhh, so the Make It Rain Campaign's returned, eh? Haven't been to the Saucer in an age...but I really ought to change that. We owe much and more to Lord Godbert, after all.

Question: What will you say?

> Was there something he helped you with?
> You know Godbert Manderville personally?
---

Well-built Workman: The three of us were Ala Mhigan refugees, y'see. The average Ul'dahn didn't take so kindly to us, and despite our best efforts, our job prospects were slim to none—but Godbert Manderville changed all that. Hired the three of us and more to help build his Gold Saucer.

Man with a Cactuar Earring: I don't suppose your companion's tuxedo was based on Senor Sabotender's, was it?

Usosuke: Prrr?

Man with a Cactuar Earring: Senor Sabotender's a favorite of mine... Him, and all he represents.
Man with a Cactuar Earring: Construction on the Saucer started soon after the Calamity. In those days, Dalamud's aftermath haunted every waking moment of our lives.
Man with a Cactuar Earring: And yet, despite it all, there was an old Lalafellin man among the workers who loved nothing more than to make us laugh. Every day he'd think up some new dance or pose to lift our spirits. Some called him eccentric, but none could deny the joy he brought us.
Man with a Cactuar Earring: After our work was done and the Saucer was built, old Godbert sought that man out and dubbed him the first Senor Sabotender. Even now—even if it's not the same man in the suit—I can't help but grin when he strikes his famous pose.
Man with a Cactuar Earring: It ain't much of my business anymore, but... Keep on spreading that joy to others. Just like our friend did.

Usosuke: Pip! Pip!

Man with a Cactuar Earring: Anyroad, didn't mean to talk your ear off. I'll let you get back to it. And don't you worry—we'll find time to visit the Saucer.

Usosuke: Prrr...
Usosuke: Pip, pip pip pip, pip.

System: With his rounds complete, Usosuke strolls off in the direction of the Gold Court. It would be best to reconvene with him and report to Ajisai.

===Speak with Ajisai===
-optional start
Ollier: A warm welcome back to you, {{alternatives|Mistress|Master}} [Surname]. Your timing is impeccable—Ajisai and I are just returned from the Steps of Nald. I daresay our exhibitions were a resounding success!

Usosuke: Prrr...
-optional end

-cutscene start
Ajisai: Welcome back, [Forename]. I must extend my thanks to you once again for accompanying dear Usosuke!
Ajisai: You ought to thank [Forename] as—hm? Is something troubling you, Usosuke?

Usosuke: Pip pip pip! Pip pip, piiip!

Ajisai: You wish to learn Senor Sabotender's famous pose!? What inspired this, all of a sudden?

Ollier: Hm... Did aught occur during your rounds?

Ajisai: Ah, so that is the way of it... I imagine Usosuke yearns to uplift others in the selfsame spirit of Senor Sabotender.

Usosuke: Pip pip!

Ollier: A noble desire, that—and one that can feasibly be arranged. I shall speak with Lord Godbert and request the tutelage of our current Senor Sabotender.
Ollier: Our patronage has thrived thanks in part to his efforts, after all. Master Usosuke's continued endeavors will be a boon to guests and staff alike!

Usosuke: Pip pip! Prrr!

Ajisai: Isn't that wonderful, Usosuke?
Ajisai: We may never have made this discovery without your assistance, [Forename]. I am in your debt!

Usosuke: Pip! Pip!

Ollier: Well, then, I believe it's high time we made our way to the Gold Saucer.
Ollier: Pray meet us there at your earliest convenience, {{alternatives|Mistress|Master}} [Surname]. Your reward awaits!
-cutscene end

''The player is teleported to the Gold Saucer, at the airship landing.''

===Speak with Ollier at the Gold Saucer===
Ollier: Ah! There you are. Allow me to express my thanks again for spending time with Master Usosuke.
Ollier: He and his fellow Globe-trotter Otters took to their posing lessons most diligently! Our current Senor Sabotender was quite impressed with the results, just as I'm sure our clientele will be.
Ollier: What's more, I am pleased to report that this year's promotional campaign is proving incredibly profitable. It pays to take the Gold Saucer directly to Ul'dah, so to speak, and you were an invaluable asset to our success.
Ollier: In recognition of these efforts, Lord Godbert has expressed interest in personally presenting you with your reward. Allow me to take you to him.

-cutscene start
''Numerous guests, including every NPC from earlier in the quest, are enjoying their time at the Gold Saucer.''
Godbert: [Forename]! Welcome, my friend, to the Gold Saucer!
Godbert: Ollier tells me you have done us a great service, promoting our campaign with aplomb! As you can see, the Saucer is teeming with satisfied guests.
Godbert: And so, in the spirit of innovation with which I pride my craft, 'tis my great privilege to bestow upon you my newest masterpiece.
Godbert: Behold!
Godbert: I present to you Senor Otter, a mammet crafted in the likeness of our friend Usosuke. This miniature globe-trotter and the backpack we entrusted to you earlier are yours to keep.
Godbert: As Ollier may have mentioned, I have pledged to invest a percentage of our profits into otter preservation efforts, and we are off to a most heartening start. On behalf of all involved, you have my heartfelt gratitude.
Godbert: The Gold Saucer is—and shall ever be—a place of merriment for all who enter. Which is why I should hope we can expect your patronage, as well!
Godbert: Until then, know that we eagerly await your next visit!

Ajisai: Welcome, [Forename]. I'm so pleased you came to see us!

Ajisai: It warms my heart to know their good cheer has made such a profound and positive impression. May they lift your spirits as well!

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r5.png|32px|link=]] [[Unknown]]===
* '''Fetid Fang:''' Tankbuster.
* '''Scrutiny:''' Several orbs will appear around the arena with a circle AoE below each of them that leaves only three safe places to stand. At the same time, the Unknown will move to the center of the room and a roulette arrow indicator will spin around it. Nearing the end of the cast, the arrow will stop, but "slip" four more times until it stops on the next safe area, at which point the Unknown will blast that area with a narrow cone while the orbs explode. To avoid being hit by this attack, watch where the arrow briefly stopped first before it begun to "slip". If you see that it stopped on safe spot before your own, then it will "slip" and hit to where you are. While the arrow is "slipping" it still safe to move, therefore, make your way to another spot before the circles AoE detonate.
* '''Luminous Ray:''' Line attack directed at a random player, telegraphed by the Unknown turning to face them and charging a fiery orb in its mouth.
* '''Inscrutability:''' Party-wide damage that also inflicts an incurable {{status effect|debuff|bleeding}} '''[[Bleeding]]''' debuff for 12 seconds.
* '''Unknown Add:''' The second cast of Scrutiny will also summon a second '''Unknown''' boss that will use '''Ectoplasmic Ray''' at the same time as the first Unknown's Scrutiny attack. This second Unknown is identical to the first and must be killed as well.
** '''Ectoplasmic Ray:''' Line-up stack marker on a random player that resolves halfway through the Scrutiny cast.
* '''Clearout:''' Short cone attack from Unknown's front directed at the Tank.
* '''Setback:''' Short cone attack from Unknown's rear. Only used if a player is behind the Unknown and in melee range.
* '''Plain Weirdness:''' After one of the Unknowns is destroyed, the other will cast this ability to give itself a {{status effect|buff|damage up}} '''[[Damage Up]]''' buff.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r5.png|32px|link=]] [[Kyklops]]===
* '''The Final Verse:''' Moderate party-wide damage.
* '''2,000-mina Swing:''' Circle AoE centered on Kyklops.
* '''2,000-mina Swipe:''' Cone attack directly in front of the boss directed at the Tank.
* '''Terrible Hammer''' and '''Terrible Blade:''' Creates an image of a ''Hammer'' or ''Blade'' on the tiles of the room. Kyklops will cast one image followed immediately by the other. Pay attention to which image on a tile he cast first, as those tiles will detonate first, followed immediately by other tiles. As each tile detonates, they deal high damage and launches players it hits into the air and likely onto one of the other tiles, thus comboing the player to their death.
* '''Eye of the Cyclone:''' Ring AoE with the only safe area in melee range of the boss.
* '''Raging Glower:''' Line attack in the direction of a random player. Kyklops telegraphs this attack by turning toward the player and holding his hands up to his face.
* '''Open Hearth:''' Stack marker on a random player.
* '''Wanderer's Pyre:''' Circle AoEs targeted on each player.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|32px|link=]] Merciless Matriarch: [[Rukshs Dheem]]===
* '''Bonebreaker:''' Tankbuster.
* '''Seabed Ceremony:''' Deals moderate party-wide damage and has another effect based on what Rukshs Dheem does prior to casting it.
** Rukshs Dheem will jump to the front or back of the room and create a water puddle that separates the room into two halves. Standing in the puddle inflicts an indefinite {{status effect|debuff|dropsy}} '''[[Dropsy]]''' debuff until the player moves out of it.
** Rukshs Dheem will move to the center and cause two puddles to appear along the longer edges of the room.
* '''Depth Grip (1):''' Four watery hands will erupt from any available puddle and eventually slam down in the direction they're facing in the order they were summoned.
** If there's a puddle splitting the room in two, the hands will alternate which direction they face as they appear.
** If there's puddles on the edges of the room, all the hands will face inward, but there will be a safe area on each side. Stand in the safe area of the first side to spawn, then run to the opposite side once the first set's attacks finish.
* '''Falling Water:''' Two random players are marked with large circle AoEs.
* '''Rising Tide:''' Cross-shaped AoE centered on Rukshs Dheem.
* '''Unnatural Ripples:''' Four of the eight vents in the floor will begin spraying water. If a player isn't standing on a rippling vent, eventually a '''Queen's Harpooner''' add will spawn from it.
** '''Queen's Harpooner:''' Immediately tethers to the boss and grants her '''Invulnerability'''. All adds must be killed to remove the Invulnerability buff.
* '''Flying Fount:''' Stack marker on a random player.
* '''Command Current:''' Eight narrow cone attacks centered on Rukshs Dheem arranged so that there's only four safe areas to stand.
* '''Depth Grip (2):''' The second time ripples appear, all eight vents will be affected. This cast of Depth Grip causes four hands to appear in the pools on the ''outside'' of the arena, facing inward towards four of the vents. Stand on the vents that don't have a hand next to them. If done correctly, the four unavoidable spawns will result in the adds being killed by the Depth Grip hands as soon as they appear.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Duty Dialogue===
Bismarck: [To the depths!]
Bismarck: [These are poor neighbors indeed...]
Bismarck: [The time has come to part with these interlopers.]
Bismarck: [The walls fall-we must hurry.]
Bismarck: [We were fortunate...But what is all of this?]
Bismarck: [Tiresome creatures.]
Bismarck: [There it lies. I give you my breath...]
Bismarck: [Hah!]
Bismarck: [Your wish is granted. Go, little wanderers.]

Anyder Diviner: Visions of eld, attend to us now...

Rukshs Dheem: Your kind has never given of its treasures willingly─your lives will be no different.
Rukshs Dheem: You know nothing of the depths! Nothing!

===Duty Support Dialogue===
''Entering the Dungeon''
Alphinaud: I see we're not to have a peaceful journey.

Thancred: We're getting close.

Urianger: Mayhaps 'twas Bismarck with whom I ought have bargained. Y'shtola: For heavens' sake...

''Entering Trench 1''
Alisaie: This lot are nothing compared to the barnacles.

Ryne: Look! A trench!

Y'shtola: Such ease of motion despite his size-it's truly a wonder.
Thancred: I'm certainly glad for Bismarck's preparation now.

''Entering trench 2''
Alphinaud: Oof!

Thancred: What a landing!

Urianger: The force of it... 'twas nigh overwhelming.
Thancred: Just...stay on your feet this time, please.

''Arriving at sunken structures''
Alphinaud: Incredible!

Thancred: Come along. Disturbing secrets await, and all that.

Urianger: Our deepest gratitude great one.
Ryne: Thank you, Bismarck!

''Before first boss''
Alisaie: What ''is'' that?

Ryne: What in the world...?

Y'shtola: We are fated to happen upon strange abominations, apparently.
Urianger: Never have I see the like.

''After first boss''
Alisaie: ''And'' it stinks. Lovely.

Ryne: Do... Do you think there are more of them?

Urianger: Some manner of harrowing, perhaps...?
Y'shtola: Might similar creatures dwell beneath the seas of the Source?

''Entering the next area''
Alphinaud: Look at this architecture...
Y'shtola: this is precisely what we were looking for.

Thancred: The similarities to Amaurot are undeniable.

Urianger: 'Tis unmistakably of the ancients design.

''Before second boss''
Alphinaud: What are they doing with that crystal?

Thancred: Whatever they're doing, I doubt it's good for us.

Urianger: In channeling aether through the crystal... Hmm.
Y'shtola: I think we have passed the point of theory!

''After second boss''
Alphinaud: This is reconstructed "concept" then?

Thancred: Looks like the benthos have learned to use this place.

Urianger: An impressive concept, to be certain.
Y'shtola: We might learn much, if more such crystals are to be gound within.

''Entering next area''
Alisaie: There are so many...

Ryne: It's beautiful!

Y'shtola: Why, this... This could take a lifetime to study...
Alphinaud: There may be still more out of sight.

''Before third boss''
Alphinaud: Though I mislike this, we may as well have done with it.
Alisaie: If she wants a fight, I'm happy to oblige!

Thancred: She plans to fight us herself? How efficient.

Urianger: Yonder queen standeth as more than symbol to her soldiers. Have caution.

===Post duty pop-ups===
Alisaie: Come now, she ''was'' maniacal.

Alphinaud: The remaining benthos may struggle, bereft of leader...

Ryne: That was all of them? Every last one...?
Thancred: If there were more guards, they would be here by now.

Urianger: 'Tis a boon we find this sanctum intact.

Y'shtola: We may at last turn our attention to investigation.

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Duty Dialogue===
Bismarck: [To the depths!]
Bismarck: [These are poor neighbors indeed...]
Bismarck: [The time has come to part with these interlopers.]
Bismarck: [The walls fall-we must hurry.]
Bismarck: [We were fortunate...But what is all of this?]
Bismarck: [Tiresome creatures.]
Bismarck: [There it lies. I give you my breath...]
Bismarck: [Hah!]
Bismarck: [Your wish is granted. Go, little wanderers.]

Anyder Diviner: Visions of eld, attend to us now...

Rukshs Dheem: Your kind has never given of its treasures willingly─your lives will be no different.
Rukshs Dheem: You know nothing of the depths! Nothing!

===Duty Support Dialogue===
''Entering the Dungeon''
Alphinaud: I see we're not to have a peaceful journey.

Thancred: We're getting close.

Urianger: Mayhaps 'twas Bismarck with whom I ought have bargained. Y'shtola: For heavens' sake...

''Entering Trench 1''
Alisaie: This lot are nothing compared to the barnacles.

Ryne: Look! A trench!

Y'shtola: Such ease of motion despite his size-it's truly a wonder.
Thancred: I'm certainly glad for Bismarck's preparation now.

''Entering trench 2''
Alphinaud: Oof!

Thancred: What a landing!

Urianger: The force of it... 'twas nigh overwhelming.
Thancred: Just...stay on your feet this time, please.

''Arriving at sunken structures''
Alphinaud: Incredible!

Thancred: Come along. Disturbing secrets await, and all that.

Urianger: Our deepest gratitude great one.
Ryne: Thank you, Bismarck!

''Before first boss''
Alisaie: What ''is'' that?

Ryne: What in the world...?

Y'shtola: We are fated to happen upon strange abominations, apparently.
Urianger: Never have I see the like.

''After first boss''
Alisaie: ''And'' it stinks. Lovely.

Ryne: Do... Do you think there are more of them?

Urianger: Some manner of harrowing, perhaps...?
Y'shtola: Might similar creatures dwell beneath the seas of the Source?

''Entering the next area''
Alphinaud: Look at this architecture...
Y'shtola: this is precisely what we were looking for.

Thancred: The similarities to Amaurot are undeniable.

Urianger: 'Tis unmistakably of the ancients design.

''Before second boss''
Alphinaud: What are they doing with that crystal?

Thancred: Whatever they're doing, I doubt it's good for us.

Urianger: In channeling aether through the crystal... Hmm.
Y'shtola: I think we have passed the point of theory!

''After second boss''
Alphinaud: This is reconstructed "concept" then?

Thancred: Looks like the benthos have learned to use this place.

Urianger: An impressive concept, to be certain.
Y'shtola: We might learn much, if more such crystals are to be gound within.

''Entering next area''
Alisaie: There are so many...

Ryne: It's beautiful!

Y'shtola: Why, this... This could take a lifetime to study...
Alphinaud: There may be still more out of sight.

''Before third boss''
Alphinaud: Though I mislike this, we may as well have done with it.
Alisaie: If she wants a fight, I'm happy to oblige!

Thancred: She plans to fight us herself? How efficient.

Urianger: Yonder queen standeth as more than symbol to her soldiers. Have caution.

===Post duty pop-ups===
Alisaie: Come now, she ''was'' maniacal.

Alphinaud: The remaining benthos may struggle, bereft of leader...

Ryne: That was all of them? Every last one...?
Thancred: If there were more guards, they would be here by now.

Urianger: 'Tis a boon we find this sanctum intact.

Y'shtola: We may at last turn our attention to investigation.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' ...May their souls be reunited one day. For that and so many other blessed possibilities, we must avert the Final Days.

'''Alisaie:''' ...

===Accepting the quest===
'''Estinien:''' You are ready, then?
'''Estinien:''' In that case, let's head to Palaka's Stand. No doubt Vrtra is awaiting us.

''Optional Dialogue''

'''Viraban:''' Would that I were younger, I would pick up my spear and drive these monsters from our borders. Alas, time is a foe that cannot be vanquished.

'''Mihsaja:''' In times such as these, those who reside in the stewards' village must be strong. Although I must admit, at times I find such a prospect difficult...

'''Jubkhal:''' I count my blessings that I managed to escape here, but that beast... I've never seen anything like it, and I can't get its terrifying visage out of my head...

'''Utpala:''' Thank you for coming to my rescue. Now that I'm safe, I must follow your example and find a way to help where I can.

'''Nahbshayra:''' I was under the impression that things had settled down, but no sooner did I return than these fiends appeared. What am I to do now?

'''Qeryde:''' We have you to thank for our survival. It's not something I'll soon forget, you can be sure.

'''Yeruvvet:''' First hordes of beasts, now a mighty wyrm... Our world grows stranger by the day...

===Speak with Vrtra. (Cutscene)===
'''Vrtra:''' Rest easy, for all is well here.
'''Vrtra:''' Young Matsya returned with the babe safe in his arms. Owing to a warm bed, the girl hath already begun to regain her strength.
'''Vrtra:''' Less joyously received was word of the mother and father's fate, as well as that of their transformed neighbors...
'''Vrtra:''' How many children of Thavnair must we lose to this calamity?
'''Vrtra:''' Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters... Every death another void that can never be filled...
'''Vrtra:''' We who survive them must carry the weight of their memory, as we strive to regain a semblance of what we have lost.
'''Vrtra:''' Qerasaf and Mehvan's babe is a child of Thavnair as well. I thank you for returning her to us safe.
'''Yeruvvet:''' O, most great and merciful wyrm... I have not the words to express my gratitude...
'''Yeruvvet:''' They say that were it not for you...brave Matsya and the child would have been lost to us forever.
'''Yeruvvet:''' Long had I heard the rumors that a mighty dragon had forged a pact of friendship with the satrap, but never would I have expected such a kind and gentle soul.
'''Vrtra:''' Truth in part...but not in whole.
'''Vrtra:''' I am Vrtra, and for years uncounted hath this isle served as mine abode.
'''Vrtra:''' ...An isle I have ruled over as satrap, with Ahewann as my loyal servant.
'''???:''' Are my ears to be believed!? You were the true satrap all along!?
'''Alisaie:''' Nidhana!? What are you doing here?
'''Nidhana:''' I heard from the Radiant that you had gone to help the people of Palaka's Stand in their time of need.
'''Nidhana:''' And so I and several of my colleagues from the Great Work came to offer our services.
'''Matsya:''' The alchemists have already brewed up some potions for Mehvan's daughter!
'''Nidhana:''' But enough about us ─ ''you'' and your role are the far greater enigma!
'''Nidhana:''' If you were the true satrap all along, could it be that young Varshahn was...''created''...to serve as your emissary?
'''Vrtra:''' Thou didst suspect the boy was but a simulacrum?
'''Nidhana:''' A rumor has circulated for many years around the High Crucible that our most skilled alchemists were once commissioned by the satrap's family in secret to fashion a mammet indistinguishable from a living boy.
'''Nidhana:''' Looking at Varshahn with that knowledge...I simply put two and two together.
'''Nidhana:''' I was not alone in drawing this conclusion. But like me, they no doubt recognized that the satrap was using the simulacrum to work more closely with his people, and decided not to press the issue.
'''Nidhana:''' I had always assumed one of Ahewann's associates was manipulating it from afar ─ though the truth is indeed far more surprising!
'''Nidhana:''' It is an honor to meet you in the flesh, Master Vrtra. Pray allow me to express my gratitude.
'''Nidhana:''' If you had not believed in and given unto us your scales, I do not know where we would be. Thank you...from the bottom of my heart.
'''Vrtra:''' 'Twas thou and thy fellow alchemists that fashioned the means to unmake the towers. You were the saviors not only of Radz-at-Han, but the star.
'''Nidhana:''' Far too kind you are, Master Vrtra...but the star yet wants for salvation. Once more will my colleagues and I commit the knowledge and resources at our disposal to the mission of aiding the people, in this their darkest hour.
'''Vrtra:''' 'Twould seem this place is in good hands. I would return to see how Radz-at-Han fares. What will you do, Scions?
'''Alphinaud:''' I worry for the survivors we met at Purusa. Shall we pay them a visit before making our way back?
'''Nidhana:''' In that case, might I ask a favor? Nothing too burdensome, I promise. This way!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Estinien:''' Vrtra chose to reveal his identity to the villagers of Palaka's Stand before all others. A wise choice, considering the warm reception. Heh, he even seemed a little relieved...
'''Estinien:''' It remains to be seen how the people of Radz-at-Han will take the news, but if this was any indication, he need not worry.

'''Alisaie:''' What a lovely aroma... I wonder what sort of spices those are?

'''Alphinaud:''' Curious, isn't it? The burning sky is so ominous, yet the crackling flames here are somehow...calming.

'''Matsya:''' Oh, [Forename]! Running through that dark jungle, there was a time when I thought all was lost! Had Master Vrtra and Estinien not arrived when they did...
'''Matsya:''' ...No. I must focus on the good. Mehvan's precious daughter is safe and sound, and that is all that matters.

'''Qeryde:''' We have you to thank for our survival. It's not something I'll soon forget, you can be sure.

'''Yeruvvet:''' Had both you and Master Vrtra not intervened, many and more would have no doubt perished. I am forever in your debt.

'''Jubkhal:''' To think that the dragon watched over us all this time... Of course the revelation came as a surprise, but strangely, I am not afraid.

===Speak with Nidhana.===
'''Nidhana:''' Needs to simmer just a bit longer, I'd say...
'''Nidhana:''' In the meantime, I was hoping I might ask you a few questions. The red sky, these terrible beasts... What in the name of the Sisters is happening here in Thavnair?
'''Nidhana:''' Oh my, that's rather a lot to take in...
'''Nidhana:''' ...It would seem the situation is even more grave than we suspected. Thank you, friend. My colleagues and I will use your knowledge to see if it can further our own research.
'''Nidhana:''' ...And with that, here we are! A pot of piping hot chai, brewed from my own secret recipe of spices and tea leaves, together with hearty helpings of rich milk and purest sugar!
'''Nidhana:''' I've made enough for everyone in the village. Might I trouble you to deliver a few cups?
'''Alphinaud:''' The drink has medicinal properties, then?
'''Nidhana:''' Not in the least! The ingredients are quite ordinary. It's so very tasty, though, and has a way of lifting the spirits.
'''Nidhana:''' The spicy aroma and distinctive sweetness of chai is a simple, everyday pleasure on our island. Sometimes the best medicine is the simplest.
'''Alphinaud:''' A lovely sentiment, Nidhana. By all means, allow us to assist.
'''Estinien:''' While you lot distribute hot beverages, I'll do a sweep for errant beasts to slay ─ a far less arduous task, no doubt. When you've finished, look for me at the Wakeful Torana.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Nidhana:''' I would be most obliged if you could deliver a few cups of chai to the villagers. I am certain it will do much to soothe their aching bodies and heavy hearts.

===Deliver the hot chai to the villagers.===
'''Nahbshayra:''' Look at them all, lazing about! Knowing full well the beasts might strike again at any moment! Do they not realize their lives are in danger!?
'''Nahbshayra:''' Well, I, for one, intend to survive! I'm too young to die! Yes, I'll leave this island behind if I must!
'''Nahbshayra:''' But...but where would I go? Is anywhere safe these days!? [Item Request: Hot Chai]
'''Nahbshayra:''' A cup of chai? Can't you see I have more important things to worry about!?
'''Nahbshayra:''' No...no, you're right. It is precisely in times like these that we must strive to remain calm and steady.
'''Nahbshayra:''' I do believe I'll visit the elder and see what needs to be done. If there is any way I can aid my village and my friends, I will do it.

'''Vishryde:''' I'm sorry, I... I just want to be left alone...
'''Vishryde:''' My best friend and I...we fled the village together... One of the beasts took him, and...and...
'''Vishryde:''' It was all I could do to run. All the while...I could hear this monstrous voice screaming my name...[Item Request: Hot Chai]
'''Vishryde:''' Hmm? This is for me...?
'''Vishryde:''' Ahh... We used to drink chai together often. Shared stories over steaming cups after a hard day's work.
'''Vishryde:''' Thank you, friend. The pain may never pass, but I must press on all the same. For his memory, and for we who must remember...

'''Weary Citizen:''' Hm...? Wait. I know you. You were the one who saved us from those beasts back at the temple...
'''Weary Citizen:''' Were it not for you ─ well, let's not even think about that. At times like this, we mustn't dwell on what might've been, but look to the future...
'''Weary Citizen:''' But what future awaits us? How can Radz-at-Han hope to recover from this? Most of my friends are gone, and I don't know where to turn...[Item Request: Hot Chai]
'''Weary Citizen:''' A cup of chai? Well, if you insist...
'''Weary Citizen:''' Ahhh...that aroma has a way of clearing the mind... Come to think of it, we've faced our fair share of trials in the past as well. And no matter how hard the times, we've always come together as a people united.
'''Weary Citizen:''' One day at a time, one step at a time ─ for that is all any of us can do. Yes... Back to work. Once I've finished this cup. Thank you.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Nahbshayra:''' Ahhh...how the warmth of the chai spreads through all my limbs... I can't remember the last time I've breathed so easily.

'''Vishryde:''' Many thanks for the chai. It helps me to remember him as he was, cup in hand and a smile on his lips...

'''Weary Citizen:''' First order of business is securing food and shelter. We also must contact our friends in the city and see how they fare. Hah, no rest for the weary!

'''Alisaie:''' The aroma of that chai truly is irresistible... Do you suppose Nidhana would mind if I helped myself to a cup?

'''Alphinaud:''' I heard that the survivors we met at the temple have all returned safely. The crisis may not have passed, but being home and among friends should do much to ease their spirits.

===Speak with Nidhana.===
'''Nidhana:''' Thank you for delivering the chai, [Forename]. Did it help to lift the villagers' spirits?
'''Nidhana:''' That is heartening to hear, indeed! The Final Days show no signs of abating, but that is all the more reason that we must try to keep our composure.
'''Nidhana:''' Our lives have been forever changed. The people we have lost will never return to us. These tragedies will long weigh on our hearts...
'''Nidhana:''' But we have the capacity to live with our suffering. To carry the agony till we too join the fallen in death.
'''Nidhana:''' It is not a surrender, but a recognition. For it is only in acceptance that we find the strength to move forward.

==Steps==
*Survey the designated location.
*Rescue [[Mehvan]].
*Search for Mehvan's baby.
*Have [[Alphinaud]] tend to the baby.
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Alisaie is gazing out intently between the trees.

*As she surveyed the dense jungle, Alisaie caught sight of someone being pursued by a great beast. Whether or not that person is Mehvan remains to be seen, but regardless, you must give chase.

*The figure Alisaie spied was indeed Mehvan, but before you and the twins can slay her pursuer, the beast seizes the poor woman and casts her into the dark waters, along with her infant child. Without hesitation, you dive into the water after the pair.

*You find Mehvan and know at once she has drawn her last breath. With yet another tragedy weighing heavy on your heart, you cast about the water for her child.

*Mehvan's infant daughter appears to have miraculously survived the plunge. To save the child from drowning, however, you must swim to the surface and seek Alphinaud's aid.

*Alphinaud attempts to tend to the babe with his healing magicks, but soon concludes that she will need a warm bed and rest in order to survive. In that moment, you are beset by yet more terrible beasts. Entrusting the child's safe return to an anxious-yet-determined Matsya, you and your companions prepare for battle.

*Alphinaud takes stock of your current situation, observing that─for what small comfort it might offer─the ill-fated Qerasaf and Mehvan perished without being transformed into beasts themselves, meaning their souls will return to the aetherial sea. Having done all that can be done, you and your companions prepare to move on.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' We must go after them at once!

'''Matsya:''' Wh-What!? Was that Mehvan!?

===Accepting the quest===
'''Alisaie:''' Over there! My view was blocked by the trees, but I'm sure I saw someone being chased by a beast!
'''Alisaie:''' [Forename], go with Matsya and search along the river! Alphinaud and I will circle around from the south!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' We've reached the Font of Maya... Maybe they're hiding in the ruins?

===Survey the designated location. (Cutscene)===
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Matsya:''' That's her... No, I'm...I'm sure of it! Mehvan!
'''Mehvan:''' Don't, please!
''Although Alphinaud and Alisaie tries to attack, the abomination grabs Mehvan, who clutches her baby, and throws her into the water.''
'''Matsya:''' No...gods have mercy!
| Voiced cutscene end. |

===Rescue Mehvan.===
Mehvan's lifeless body floats before you, battered and broken. Her death no doubt came swiftly.
Her infant daughter, however, is nowhere to be seen...

''Optional dialogue''
There is nothing more you can do for the ill-fated Mehvan. Her child, however, may yet be saved...

===Search for Mehvan's baby.===
You take the babe into your arms. If she yet lives, you cannot tell, but she will surely not survive unless you carry her to the surface at once.

''Optional dialogue, if interacted with Mehvan again''
It is too late for Mehvan, but perhaps not for her child...

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alisaie:''' So? Where are they!?

'''Matsya:''' Oh no, no, no... Wh-What do we do? What do we do!?

===Have Alphinaud tend to the baby. (Cutscene)===
'''Alphinaud:''' Did you find Mehvan and the child!?
'''Alphinaud:''' Damn it all...
'''Alphinaud:''' You have the child!? Let me see her!

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Alisaie:''' She's so cold, Alphinaud...
'''Alphinaud:''' The child is alert, and I see no wounds. And yet, she grows weaker...
'''Alphinaud:''' My spells can do no more. What she needs is a change of clothes and a warm bed. We must hurry back!
''A horde of abominations approach the group.''
'''Alphinaud:''' Not now...!
'''Alisaie:''' Matsya, take the child!
'''Alphinaud:''' Godsdammit, it appears we've made enough noise to be heard for malms around. More will be upon us ere long.
'''Alphinaud:''' We make our stand here. Matsya, can you take her back to the village?
'''Matsya:''' Th-The child? All...all by myself!? You can't be serious!
'''Alisaie:''' The beasts will follow you home unless we stop them here─and so we shall.
'''Alisaie:''' Be strong, Matsya! Her life is in your hands!
'''Matsya:''' R-Right! I...I can do it!
'''Alisaie:''' I know you can! We'll keep them busy, Matsya. Go ─ quickly!

'''Matsya:''' Steady... You know the way...
'''Matsya:''' No, no! Not you, too...
'''Matsya:''' Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid...
'''Matsya:''' To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity...
'''Matsya:''' 'Tis a perilous path... Death...lurks in the dark...
'''Matsya:''' N-No! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!
'''Matsya:''' Do not avert your eyes. See...see your life for what it is...
'''Matsya:''' See how the hardships make you strong. Every doubt reforged...
''Two abominations stand in Matsya's way.''
'''Matsya:''' Every...agony...
'''Matsya:''' Huh?

'''Matsya:''' The divinity...?
'''Vrtra:''' ...Nay. But one who would deliver thee just the same.
'''Matsya:''' Please... You must save the child!
'''Matsya:''' She is all that remains of Mehvan and Qerasaf. Please!
'''Estinien:''' Well, well. Seems the babe's taken a liking to you.
'''Vrtra:''' Thou art strong, little one. Let us convey thee to thy home.
'''Estinien:''' I spied our friends as we flew in...they appeared to be holding their own against the horde.

'''Alisaie:''' Right. That's the last of them. We should hurry and find Matsya...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I have a feeling he'll be fine.
'''Alisaie:''' Really? How can you be so sure?
> He had help. From on high.
'''Alisaie:''' What, like divine aid...?

'''Estinien:''' A fine battle it must have been. Shame I missed it.
'''Alphinaud:''' Estinien! It was you who came to Matsya's aid?
'''Estinien:''' I was only along for the ride ─ Vrtra was the one who saw the boy was in need. The two are headed back to the village.
'''Alphinaud:''' Where the wyrm will honor Ahewann's wishes and finally reveal himself to his people...
'''Estinien:''' Perhaps so. Will you go and join them?
'''Alisaie:''' There's something I need to do first.
'''Alisaie:''' Mehvan gave her life so that her child might live. She deserves better than to be left to drift alone.
'''Alisaie:''' She deserves to be laid to rest beside her husband, at least. Will you help me?

'''Estinien:''' Go. I will keep watch until your work is done.

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' We have done what we can. 'Tis for the villagers of Palaka's Stand to perform the funeral rites.
'''Alphinaud:''' If nothing else, Mehvan and Qerasaf died as they lived ─ as themselves, and not as beasts. Their souls will find peace in the aetherial sea.
'''Alphinaud:''' To think the day would come when even that smallest of solaces would be this comforting...

==Steps==
*Survey the designated location.
*Rescue [[Mehvan]].
*Search for Mehvan's baby.
*Have [[Alphinaud]] tend to the baby.
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*Alisaie is gazing out intently between the trees.

*As she surveyed the dense jungle, Alisaie caught sight of someone being pursued by a great beast. Whether or not that person is Mehvan remains to be seen, but regardless, you must give chase.

*The figure Alisaie spied was indeed Mehvan, but before you and the twins can slay her pursuer, the beast seizes the poor woman and casts her into the dark waters, along with her infant child. Without hesitation, you dive into the water after the pair.

*You find Mehvan and know at once she has drawn her last breath. With yet another tragedy weighing heavy on your heart, you cast about the water for her child.

*Mehvan's infant daughter appears to have miraculously survived the plunge. To save the child from drowning, however, you must swim to the surface and seek Alphinaud's aid.

*Alphinaud attempts to tend to the babe with his healing magicks, but soon concludes that she will need a warm bed and rest in order to survive. In that moment, you are beset by yet more terrible beasts. Entrusting the child's safe return to an anxious-yet-determined Matsya, you and your companions prepare for battle.

*Alphinaud takes stock of your current situation, observing that─for what small comfort it might offer─the ill-fated Qerasaf and Mehvan perished without being transformed into beasts themselves, meaning their souls will return to the aetherial sea. Having done all that can be done, you and your companions prepare to move on.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' We must go after them at once!

'''Matsya:''' Wh-What!? Was that Mehvan!?

===Accepting the quest===
'''Alisaie:''' Over there! My view was blocked by the trees, but I'm sure I saw someone being chased by a beast!
'''Alisaie:''' [Forename], go with Matsya and search along the river! Alphinaud and I will circle around from the south!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' We've reached the Font of Maya... Maybe they're hiding in the ruins?

===Survey the designated location. (Cutscene)===
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Matsya:''' That's her... No, I'm...I'm sure of it! Mehvan!
'''Mehvan:''' Don't, please!
''Although Alphinaud and Alisaie tries to attack, the abomination grabs Mehvan, who clutches her baby, and throws her into the water.''
'''Matsya:''' No...gods have mercy!
| Voiced cutscene end. |

===Rescue Mehvan.===
Mehvan's lifeless body floats before you, battered and broken. Her death no doubt came swiftly.
Her infant daughter, however, is nowhere to be seen...

''Optional dialogue''
There is nothing more you can do for the ill-fated Mehvan. Her child, however, may yet be saved...

===Search for Mehvan's baby.===
You take the babe into your arms. If she yet lives, you cannot tell, but she will surely not survive unless you carry her to the surface at once.

''Optional dialogue''
It is too late for Mehvan, but perhaps not for her child...

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alisaie:''' So? Where are they!?

'''Matsya:''' Oh no, no, no... Wh-What do we do? What do we do!?

===Have Alphinaud tend to the baby. (Cutscene)===
'''Alphinaud:''' Did you find Mehvan and the child!?
'''Alphinaud:''' Damn it all...
'''Alphinaud:''' You have the child!? Let me see her!

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Alisaie:''' She's so cold, Alphinaud...
'''Alphinaud:''' The child is alert, and I see no wounds. And yet, she grows weaker...
'''Alphinaud:''' My spells can do no more. What she needs is a change of clothes and a warm bed. We must hurry back!
''A horde of abominations approach the group.''
'''Alphinaud:''' Not now...!
'''Alisaie:''' Matsya, take the child!
'''Alphinaud:''' Godsdammit, it appears we've made enough noise to be heard for malms around. More will be upon us ere long.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Alphinaud:''' I can tend to the rest. Pray look after Matsya ─ no doubt what we have seen here weighs even heavier on his heart than ours.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' Stay by Matsya's side, [Forename]. Unlike us, he is not accustomed to seeing such horrors...

===Speak with Matsya. (Cutscene)===
'''Matsya:''' Oh, [Forename]! [Forename]!
'''Matsya:''' This is Yeruvvet, the elder here. He is hurt, but ─ praise be to the Sisters ─ he still lives!
'''Yeruvvet:''' Young Matsya here has told me everything. I have not the words to express my gratitude for your aid.
'''Yeruvvet:''' When the heavens began to burn, we were afraid, but did our best to carry on as we always have done...
'''Yeruvvet:''' Until today, when those unholy beasts came pouring into our village, a flood of midnight and death...
'''Yeruvvet:''' There are no words to describe what followed. Men and women I have known since they were babes struck down by the creatures, only to rise again to join the murderous horde, in the guise of those same hideous fiends...
'''Yeruvvet:''' In the chaos, a handful of our villagers fled for their lives. I can only hope they have found their way to safety...
'''Yeruvvet:''' Matsya, do you perchance remember Qerasaf and Mehvan? The young couple who always bought your freshest catches...
'''Matsya:''' How could I forget, Elder? When I first came to peddle my wares ─ desperate to eke out a living ─ they showed me such kindness...
'''Matsya:''' Others shunned me as an outsider, as is their way. But Qerasaf and Mehvan bought my fish, and sung its praises. They turned my fortunes around!
'''Yeruvvet:''' Alas, I fear they are in terrible danger. I saw them running towards Agama Temple, one of those beasts in close pursuit.
'''Yeruvvet:''' They had their child ─ still but a tiny babe. To elude these fiends while caring for one so young is an impossible task, surely. I beg of you, go to their aid...
'''Matsya:''' I...I want to help them. Yet I am but a fisherman ─ I cannot face beasts on my own. Will you come with me?
'''Matsya:''' Oh, thank you! Agama Temple lies to the west of here. We must hurry!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry─Alphinaud and I will watch over the village until you return. Go and find Matsya's friends.

===Speak with Matsya again.===
'''Matsya:''' The temple is just ahead...
'''Matsya:''' It was built by those who worship Saint Agama, but has sadly fallen into disrepair in recent years.
'''Matsya:''' If my friends made it this far, no doubt they are hiding somewhere amidst the ruins.
'''???:''' No, please! Stay ba─annngggh...gggaaah!
'''Matsya:''' That was Qerasaf! Oh, no ─ this is not good!

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I'll take a look.
'''Matsya:''' P-Please do! The cry came from the ruins. You must hurry!
> Wait here.
'''Matsya:''' Y-Yes, I understand... The cry came from the ruins! You must hurry!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' That was Qerasaf's voice ─ I'm sure of it! Oh gods...gods have mercy...

===Aid the wounded Qerasaf. (Cutscene)===
The man lies motionless on the ground, bearing a grievous wound...
'''Matsya:''' I'm sorry, [Forename]. I tried to stay behind, but I couldn't...
'''Matsya:''' No...it cannot be!
'''Qerasaf:''' Is someone... Anyone...
'''Qerasaf:''' My arms...so heavy... And my legs... I cannot feel my legs...
'''Qerasaf:''' My wife...fled with our daughter...
'''Qerasaf:''' I need to find them...need to be with them...
'''Qerasaf:''' I need...
'''Matsya:''' Qerasaf! No, Qerasaf ─ you must stay strong!
'''Qerasaf:''' More time... I thought I had...
'''Qerasaf:''' I...I don't want to die...

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Speak to Qerasaf.
> Dry Qerasaf's tears.

'''Qerasaf:''' Thank you...
'''Qerasaf:''' Please...find them...
'''Matsya:''' Mehvan still lives. And she has their child...
'''Matsya:''' We must search the jungle between here and Palaka's Stand. There is nowhere else she could have gone. I think...
'''Matsya:''' Forgive me, Qerasaf... Once we have saved your wife and child, we will return and lay you to rest...

===Survey the area.===
You see no tracks or other signs of recent travel. Mehvan and the child must be elsewhere...

===Continue to survey the area.===
If Mehvan and her daughter came through this area recently, you see no evidence of their passage...

===Speak with Matsya. (Cutscene)===
'''Matsya:''' D-Did you see any sign of them? I found nothing!
'''Matsya:''' Perhaps the beasts have chased them farther from the village.
'''Matsya:''' Oh, gods above, I beseech you! Pray deliver Mehvan and her little one to safety...

'''Meanwhile, in the skies above Thavnair─'''
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Estinien:''' No more enemies to trouble us here...
''Estinien's linkshell rings.''
'''Estinien:''' ...It's me. How fare you below?
'''Estinien:''' ...Understood. I will inform Vrtra.
'''Estinien:''' Chaos and panic sweep Radz-at-Han, and many more have succumbed to the transformations.
'''Estinien:''' Amidst the fray, Ahewann fell...protecting a grief-stricken father.
'''Estinien:''' My friends fight alongside your Radiant Host to secure the capital.
'''Estinien:''' Beasts have been sighted in Palaka's Stand as well. We have divided our forces in hopes of quelling the threat there.
'''Estinien:''' Of small solace is that we now know what triggers the transformation. As my companions tell it...
'''Vrtra:''' So it is the very fear and despair in their hearts which inflict this abhorrent punishment upon them...
'''Vrtra:''' ...A nightmare from which my children will never awake. O capricious and cruel fate ─ they are undeserving of such condemnation...
'''Estinien:''' Will you wallow in sorrow or rise to the occasion?
'''Estinien:''' Radz-at-Han is leaderless. Before he passed, Ahewann sought to reveal the truth to his people. Honor his wishes.
'''Vrtra:''' To what end? To breed a new conflict between dragon and man?
'''Vrtra:''' These claws could reduce thee to shreds with a touch. These jaws, crush thy bones to dust.
'''Vrtra:''' Only through my proxy could I walk with my children. Without him, I am a bringer of fear ─ no different from the beasts which beleaguer them.
'''Estinien:''' Perhaps so...
'''Estinien:''' Only in death were Hraesvelgr and Shiva united. Indeed, whenever man and dragon have come together, death has ever been the inevitable result.
'''Estinien:''' 'Twas our fear of your kind that sparked a nigh-endless war.
'''Estinien:''' Fear and hate of which Nidhogg drank deep as he laid waste to my homeland.
'''Estinien:''' And in turn I took my revenge on his brood. Blood for blood; pain for pain. I thought nothing of theirs ─ only of mine.
'''Estinien:''' And yet...were the chasm between us too vast and too deep, Hraesvelgr would not have borne Ysayle to battle and our rescue.
'''Estinien:''' He would have never entrusted a mortal champion with one of his eyes, and the Dragonsong War would still rage on.
'''Estinien:''' And I would still wage a never-ending war of violence and vengeance, the future of our star be damned.
'''Estinien:''' I cannot speak for Ahewann's greater goals. Yet I know that he served you ─ served your people ─ long and true.
'''Estinien:''' In this time of unprecedented crisis, he turned to you. You could do worse than to place your trust in him.
'''Estinien:''' It will not be easy, but the future of Radz-at-Han hangs in the balance.
'''Estinien:''' We have company!
'''Vrtra:''' I am ready.
'''Estinien:''' The hour is come, Vrtra. It's all or nothing!

* Northota is looking decidedly smug.

==Dialogue==
System: Associate guildship hunts will be available once you have fulfilled certain conditions within the main scenario quests for Endwalker.

Northota: Good to see you, ''Forename''. I've heard a great deal about your recent exploits─as has everyone else!
Northota: That's why I feel confident recommending you for associate-level hunts. The challenges you face from here on out will be significantly tougher to contend with, but I wager you can handle them─you've yet to give me reason to believe otherwise!
Northota: Associate specimens are not only more threatening, but also more difficult to track down. You'll have to seek them out in the world's most inaccessible and inhospitable reaches─like bloody Garlemald. Gods, I hate that place.
Northota: Now, if Ilsabard's unfriendly north was our only problem, I'd simply remind you to strap on your furs and take some ale for the road, but... Well, perhaps it's best if you ask J'lakshai what ''she's'' working on. There's nothing quite like hearing it straight from the chocobo's mouth.
'''(Optional)'''
Northota: No, no, I do think I'll leave this bit to J'lakshai. Don't worry, she won't bite.

J'lakshai: Yes, yes, I heard from here. If Northota insists, I will tell you ''precisely'' what I'm dealing with at the moment.
J'lakshai: Let's look at this request from Chrysielle, shall we? She's Sharlayan's sole xenobiologist─a self-proclaimed one, mind you─and it's her raison d'être to prove that life exists upon stars other than our own.
J'lakshai: The astronomers have long since banned her from their meetings and refuse any request she makes on principle, but alas, we have no such luxury. She's been demanding samples from the moon for some time now, despite the obvious impossibility of acquiring them.
J'lakshai: Associate hunts often present such challenges─ones with no ready solution. Though we gleaners pride ourselves on our resourcefulness, all we can do in such cases is post them on the board and hope for a miracle.
J'lakshai: Try telling that to the clients, though...
J'lakshai: In any case, I would be thankful if you'd take a look at the board and try your hand at any bills that suit you. The guildship has high hopes for your success! ...No pressure, of course.

System: Associate guildship mark bills are now available.
System: You are now permitted to take bills for associate hunts from guildship hunt boards found in Old Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han.
System: New quests and senior marks will become available from Northota in Old Sharlayan upon reaching level 89.

==Journal==
*G'raha Tia is eager to share all you have learned with your companions.

*Having finished your investigation at Ruveydah Fibers, G'raha Tia would reconvene with your companions, that you might discuss all you have learned. With luck, they too will have information of their own to share.

*Back at the plaza, you share your findings with your fellow Scions. They are troubled to learn that the first transformation occurred before the sky began to burn, strongly suggesting that the change could occur elsewhere without any warning whatsoever. As you ponder the implications, the satrap appears to inform you that the threat within the walls of Radz–at–Han has been quelled. No sooner has he attempted to give assurance to his people than does the young fisherman Matsya rush to the scene, exclaiming that Palaka's Stand is surrounded by fiends. Fearing for the safety of her grandson in the village, an inconsolable woman falls into a panic. Consumed by ominous black mist, she subsequently transforms into a beast before your eyes. You manage to subdue the threat, but at great cost, for in the midst of battle, Ahewann gives his life to save a young father. Devastated and demoralized by all you have witnessed, you and your companions nevertheless resolve to make for Palaka's Stand and save what souls may yet be saved.

*You join Alisaie, Alphinaud, and Matsya on the road leading to Palaka's Stand, though it appears the way is barred by prowling beasts. While the twins keep Matsya safe in the shadow, you forge ahead to clear a path.

*You succeed in hunting down one of the beasts that was blocking the road, and as it dissipates you hear the desperate words of the person it once was. The path is not yet clear, however, and so you must press onward, wary and ready.

*You dispatch two more beasts and clear a way to Palaka's Stand. Upon your arrival, however, you and your companions are confronted with a devastating sight. Dead and wounded lie strewn about, and tortured sobs and screams fill the air.

*Shaken by the tragedy unfolding before her eyes, Alisaie steels her nerves and resolves to aid the villagers who are still alive. She bids you do the same, and you set out to offer what succor you can.

*To your dismay, most of the villagers you seek out are beyond saving. Resigned, you turn back to Alphinaud, ready to discuss your next plan of action.

*While he laments those villagers who have lost their lives, Alphinaud fears that many more may have been transformed into beasts. If so, the carnage in Palaka's Stand is only the beginning...

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' Can the despair in a man's own heart consign him to such a terrible fate...?

===Accepting the quest===
'''G'raha Tia:''' We were to reconvene with the others in front of Meghaduta, were we not? That should be just outside.
'''G'raha Tia:''' With any luck, they will have already returned from their own investigations.
'''G'raha Tia:''' My friend, we must take our leave. I pray that your establishment is spared further tragedy. But remember: your lives are far more precious than any wares. If you are ordered to flee, do so without hesitation.
'''Djinabaha:''' Indeed... I thank you for your concern, and pray you two take care as well.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' Finished your rounds and ready to share?

===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Y'shtola:''' There you are. You've spoken with the survivors?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. We thought to share what we have gleaned, that we might together gain a greater understanding of present circumstances.
'''Alphinaud:''' Fortuitous timing. Alisaie and I completed our own investigations not long ago.
'''Y'shtola:''' Then we should take a moment to compare notes. Shall we begin with the two of you?
'''Alphinaud:''' ...So the merchant Khalzahl was gravely concerned about his business in the days preceding his untimely end.
'''Alisaie:''' The tales we heard were much the same. The first victims to be changed into blasphemies were all overcome with anguish of one manner or another.
'''Alisaie:''' Then those who saw their loved ones stolen before their eyes succumbed to a similar panic, setting in motion a chain of transformations.
'''Alphinaud:''' Fear, unease, despair...these negative feelings serve as a catalyst.
'''Y'shtola:''' If so, then it is not unlike the calamity that befell the ancients.
'''Y'shtola:''' With their creation magicks they unwittingly gave form to untold horrors.
'''Y'shtola:''' Had they simply lost control, surely it would have manifested in many forms ─ not all of them monstrous.
'''Y'shtola:''' Yet somehow this phenomenon is triggered solely by the darkness in their hearts. A common thread with what we now witness.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Common, but not identical. While the beasts the ancients faced were forged with magic alone, those of today are born of sentient beings.
'''Alphinaud:''' Why remains to be seen, but there is one fundamental difference between us and our predecessors: our souls are sundered, whereas theirs were not.
'''Alphinaud:''' Perhaps that single variable makes all the difference.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I may...there was another detail that troubled me.
'''G'raha Tia:''' We have it on good authority that Khalzahl's transformation took place before the skies began to burn.
'''Alisaie:''' What!? If that's true, then the situation's more dire than we realized.
'''Alisaie:''' It means even if there's no ominous sign presaging the Final Days, anyone─anywhere ─ has the potential to become a beast.
'''Alisaie:''' Even in lands we thought safe. Even as we speak...

'''Hyuran Merchant:''' Look, it's the satrap!
'''Ahewann:''' My countrymen. I am relieved and heartened to see you strong and safe.
'''Ahewann:''' While the danger has not yet passed ─ far from it ─ allow me to assure you that the beasts that raged within the city walls have been exterminated to the last.
'''Ahewann:''' Outside this sanctuary, the brave men and women of the Radiant Host and our dragon ally continue to battle our unholy foes.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray these tidings put your minds at ease, and help you calm your hearts. Have faith that we shall soon conquer this terrible trial.
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' Your Excellency...is there any word from Palaka's Stand?
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' My grandson was bound for there yesterday, and I-I worry for his life...
'''Ahewann:''' We are still awaiting a report. But I promise you, as soon as I have aught to share...
'''???:''' Y-Your Excellency! I bring grave news!
'''Ahewann:''' You are...?
'''Matsya:''' I...I'm Matsya of Akyaali. A humble fisherman.
'''Thancred:''' Ah, I remember you from our first visit.
'''Matsya:''' Hm? Wait, you're...
'''Matsya:''' B-But no, that can wait!
'''Matsya:''' When the skies turned red, I set off for Palaka's Stand, fearing for the safety of a friend.
'''Matsya:''' But as I drew near the village, I saw dreadful beasts all about.
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' No... Gods have mercy...
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' Your Excellency! Save my grandson! I beg of you!
'''Ahewann:''' We will spare no effort to save all we can. But you must remain calm─
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' Calm!? You tell me to be calm!? You saw those beasts! They tore our bravest warriors limb from limb!
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' What if we are too late? If they catch him─sink their fangs into him...
'''Anxious Old Lady:''' The fangs...the blood...the screams!

'''Y'shtola:''' Get away from her. Now!
'''Distressed Girl:''' Nooo! Nooooooooo!

'''Thancred:''' ...Damn it. We've got to kill them before it spreads!
'''Y'shtola:''' We'll handle this. See the townspeople to safety!
'''Hyuran Merchant:''' Run! As fast as you can!
''The merchant's son trips.''
'''Merchant's son:''' Aaah...aaah...no!
''The merchant's son transforms.''
'''Merchant's son:''' Faaa...grrraaaaaaghhh!
'''Ahewann steps in front of the Hyuran Merchant, but the beast grabs him. Knowing his fate is near, he turns to WOL who's running towards them.''
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra... Our people... You must save them!
'''Hyuran Merchant:''' My son...he...he... The satrap!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Enough! You must run, for their sake and your own!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Yes. You will survive. You must.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Be strong, my friends!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Fear not, for we will defeat these abominations!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Brave men and women of the Radiant Host! Lend Y'shtola and Thancred your aid! Let not a single beast escape!
'''G'raha Tia:''' The rest of you, flee this place! Carry the wounded if you must! Head indoors, or underground!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Above all, stay calm. No beasts will follow you ─ we will see to that.

'''Thancred:''' Alphinaud! Alisaie! Leave the city to us, and make for Palaka's Stand at once!
'''Thancred:''' Matsya, show my friends to the village. I promise you─they're more capable than the Host's finest.
'''Matsya:''' R-Right!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Go with them, will you?
'''G'raha Tia:''' We will save these people ─ as many as we can!
| Voiced cutscene end |

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' We meet again. You...you do remember me, yes?
'''Matsya:''' You saved my skin twice over in Yedlihmad. And now I find myself turning to you for help once more... But let us tarry here no longer!

'''Alisaie:''' Damn it all... Staying calm isn't exactly my forte...

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' We must save Palaka's Stand. Whatever it takes.
'''Alphinaud:''' Matsya. It pains me to put you into harm's way, but I would ask your aid as well.
'''Matsya:''' O-Of course! Palaka's Stand is not far, just down that hill.
'''Matsya:''' But as I told His Excellency before, the path was blocked by terrible creatures. I had no choice but to turn back.
'''Alphinaud:''' In that case, this is what we shall do...
'''Alphinaud:''' [Forename]. I ask that you take the lead and dispatch any beasts you encounter.
'''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie and I will keep Matsya hidden amidst the trees, and follow when the path is clear.
'''Alphinaud:''' There is no telling what dangers await us. Keep your eyes peeled.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' Wh-What's happened to them!?

'''Alphinaud:''' Good work, [Forename], though I worry for Matsya...

===Speak with Alisaie.===
'''Alisaie:''' It...it cannot be...
'''Alisaie:''' We must heal those we can, and quickly! I see no beasts, but stay on your guard!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Matsya:''' When I last came here to sell my fish, everyone was so bright and cheerful. This is a nightmare..

'''Yeruvvet:''' The horror... I pray that the Sisters will see us through this calamity...

'''Alphinaud:''' There...you'll be fine. The pain will soon pass.

'''Alisaie:''' His wounds are deep, but he may yet be saved. Go and help the others!

===Save the villagers of Palaka's Stand.===
> Aid the exhausted Hyur
Though the villager's injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, he does not respond to your efforts. His breathing grows more ragged and shallow, and his vacant eyes are those of a man who has lost the will to live...
'''Exhausted Hyur:''' Even if I wake...the nightmare goes on... No...leave me to sleep...
'''Exhausted Hyur:''' ...
You call out, but the man does not respond...
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
This poor soul is beyond saving.

> Aid the collapsed Hyur
The cooling body has already begun to stiffen...
The massive wounds suggest the villager was gored by a terrible beast...
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
This villager has been dead for some time.

> Aid the motionless villager
The villager has no pulse, nor do they appear to be breathing...
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
There is nothing you can do for this villager.

> Aid the frightened Au Ra
'''Frightened Au Ra:''' Have you...have you come to...help us?
'''Frightened Au Ra:''' Too late...too late... My family...my friends... <sob>
'''(Optional, if interacted again)'''
'''Frightened Au Ra:''' I...I am fine, thank you... Please...save the others...

===Speak with Alphinaud.===
'''Alphinaud:''' Are these the only villagers who survived?
'''Alphinaud:''' I can only hope others managed to flee. But if the rest have been turned to beasts... By the Twelve...
'''Alphinaud:''' Let us do what we can to see that the damage spreads no further. And no matter what comes, we must keep our spirits high...lest we ourselves suffer a similar fate.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

'''(Optional)'''
'''Kamala:''' See those crates in the corner? The lightest one among them─the one with the silks─needs to be brought to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate with the clothing needs to go to Mahnuha in the primary storehouse. The large one there? Zeymeira is waiting on that one by the middle storehouse.

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Nahbrifhal:''' The silk from the silkworms are both a wondrous tool and an incredible product in and of itself. To say it is precious cargo would be a gross understatement. Thus, we cannot be too careful when handling it.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Mahnuha:''' The doors of our storehouses were built to last, so I very much doubt even ''those'' fiends would be able to bring them down.

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Zeymeira:''' The towers now razed, it's time we plan for the road ahead. Doubtless our silks and textiles will become a cornerstone of any future economic prosperity we may see, thus must we continue to safeguard them as best we are able.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

*Mihleel has information that should serve you well.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

'''(Optional)'''
'''Kamala:''' See those crates in the corner? The lightest one among them─the one with the silks─needs to be brought to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate with the clothing needs to go to Mahnuha in the primary storehouse. The large one there? Zeymeira is waiting on that one by the middle storehouse.

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Nahbrifhal:''' The silk from the silkworms are both a wondrous tool and an incredible product in and of itself. To say it is precious cargo would be a gross understatement. Thus, we cannot be too careful when handling it.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Mahnuha:''' The doors of our storehouses were built to last, so I very much doubt even ''those'' fiends would be able to bring them down.

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Nahbrifhal:''' The silk from the silkworms are both a wondrous tool and an incredible product in and of itself. To say it is precious cargo would be a gross understatement. Thus, we cannot be too careful when handling it.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Mahnuha:''' The doors of our storehouses were built to last, so I very much doubt even ''those'' fiends would be able to bring them down.

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' From here, we ascend the stairs...

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

===Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.===
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

===Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.===
'''Parigha:''' Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
'''G'raha Tia:''' But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
'''Parigha:''' Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
'''Parigha:''' Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
'''Parigha:''' I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
''(If spoken to Parigha first, before speaking to Mahti.)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
''(Otherwise)''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... This sounds promising.

'''Mahti:''' Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
'''Mahti:''' If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
'''Mahti:''' Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
'''Mahti:''' Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
'''G'raha Tia:''' I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
'''Mahti:''' Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
'''Mahti:''' These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
'''Mahti:''' I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mahti:''' Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.

'''Parigha:''' I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?

'''Astra:''' No sooner had the weather turned than those nasty beasts started running amok. We're safe here, though, surely?

'''Davaaz:''' I've received word from the Radiant Host that strange monsters have appeared in town... We must help escort the citizens to safety!

'''G'raha Tia:''' From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Yuj'' (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
'''G'raha Tia:''' If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
'''G'raha Tia:''' During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Ruveydah Fibers'' (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

===Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
'''Djinabaha:'''I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
'''Djinabaha:'''If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those accursed beasts return.
'''G'raha Tia:''' In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
'''Djinabaha:'''...Very well.
'''Djinabaha:''' You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
'''Djinabaha:''' And you can carry our fabrics.
'''Djinabaha:''' Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
'''Djinabaha:''' Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Djinabaha:''' You'll get your answers ''after'' you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

'''Fahveydah:''' My friend has been missing since...the incident, let's call it. We used to take lunch together quite often, you know? It's strange... It feels like there's a part of my heart missing now.

'''Hasyah:''' It seems that some foul fiends infiltrated Ruveydah Fibers... 'Twas fortunate that I was not present at the time, but I fear for the safety of my comrades who were.

'''Shiraheen:''' Pray leave me alone with my thoughts. I do not wish to speak with anyone at the moment...

'''Rhulshahn:''' What exactly happened while we were gone?

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' This area is for employees only. Out, out!
'''Kamala:''' What's that? You've come to ''help''!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
'''Kamala:''' Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
'''Kamala:''' I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
'''Kamala:''' The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
'''Kamala:''' ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
'''Kamala:''' Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

<blockquote>You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.</blockquote>

===Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.===
'''Nahbrifhal:''' Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

===Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.===
'''Mahnuha:''' If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
'''Mahnuha:''' A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

===Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.===
'''Zeymeira:''' I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
'''Zeymeira:''' A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

===Speak with Kamala.===
'''Kamala:''' You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
'''Kamala:''' I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
'''Kamala:''' To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Kamala:''' Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

===Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)===
'''Djinabaha:''' Done as I asked, have you?
'''Djinabaha:''' If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.

'''G'raha Tia:''' I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
'''Djinabaha:''' You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
'''Djinabaha:''' We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
'''Djinabaha:''' We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
'''Djinabaha:''' We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
'''Djinabaha:''' The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
'''Djinabaha:''' He, too, transformed...
'''Djinabaha:''' ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
'''Djinabaha:''' Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
'''Djinabaha:''' I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
'''Djinabaha:''' I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
'''Djinabaha:''' He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Dejection...and despair.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Mihleel:''' Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
'''Mihleel:''' From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
'''Mihleel:''' I'll write down some directions.
'''Mihleel:''' I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Mihleel:''' Forgive me... I know nothing of this “blasphemy,” nor what caused those poor men to take on such hideous forms.
'''Mihleel:''' That said, I could tell that Khalzahl cared deeply for his colleagues and clients. He did not seem the sort to willingly damage the trust they placed in him.

''(Small talk while accompanying G'raha Tia)
'''G'raha Tia:''' The residents of Kama should know more of Khalzahl's circumstances.
'''G'raha Tia:''' If we follow Mihleel's directions, we'll be there in no time.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Conversation point:''' ''At Kama'' (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
'''G'raha Tia:''' Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.

'''Conversation point:''' ''At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza'' (X:11.3, Y:11.1)

'''G'raha Tia:''' You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
'''G'raha Tia:''' It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
'''G'raha Tia:''' ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
'''G'raha Tia:''' Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.

==Steps==
* Head to the main hall.
* Journey to [[Thavnair]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].
* Enter [[Vanaspati]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].

==Journal==
*Tataru is furrowing her brow in consternation.

*A visibly distressed Tataru informs you of grave tidings from far-off Radz–at–Han. It would appear your fellow Scions have already assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation, and you resolve to join them as soon as you are able.

*The news from Radz–at–Han is dire indeed. The heavens burn red, and unholy beasts run rampant, preying upon the people─indeed, the Final Days have come. With Krile and Tataru remaining behind to support your expedition as best they may, you prepare to depart with your companions to investigate the precise nature and extent of this calamity, and to combat it to the best of your ability.

*Thavnair is truly the stuff of nightmares. More disturbing than the rampaging beasts, however, are the words of Ahewann, satrap of Radz–at–Han, who shares with you the revelation that the monstrosities that plague the city are his own countrymen, transformed by forces unknown. The largest and most fearsome of the creatures─dubbed a “blasphemy” by the local populace─has fled north after wreaking havoc on the city. The dragon Vrtra, guardian of Thavnair, and the Radiant Host have already been dispatched in pursuit, and the satrap would have you join them.

*At the docks, Ahewann briefs you on the plan of attack. You and your fellow Scions are to circle to the north side of the island by boat, and hunt for the blasphemy deep within the sacred jungle of Vanaspati. Looking out over the waters, you steel yourself for the battle to come.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*You and your companions succeed in putting down the blasphemy, thereby eliminating the greatest threat to the people of Thavnair. There is little cause to rejoice, however, as yet more disturbing news has come to light: the ill-fated men-turned-beasts were bereft of all their aether─not only their lives, but their very souls are beyond saving. With newfound resolve to uncover the true cause of the transformations and put an end to them for good, you and your companions make to survey the area one last time before returning to Radz–at–Han.

*Though the blasphemy itself has fallen, the battle against the beastly horde rages on in the skies above. Entrusting the task of defending the island from above to the dragon Vrtra─who grudgingly allows Estinien a place upon his back─you prepare to return to Radz–at–Han with your companions. There, you will reconvene with Ahewann, that you might share the knowledge you have acquired and see how the city fares.

*Ahewann welcomes you back to the city, and reports with some relief that the lingering beasts that yet plagued the city have been dispatched. Though the immediate threat has passed, however, it is no time to rest easy, for there is no telling where and when the next transformation might occur...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! I was just about to call for you.
'''Tataru:''' I'm afraid we've received another call for assistance. This one comes from Radz-at-Han...
'''Tataru:''' The others have assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation. You must join them at once!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Tataru:''' I heard all about the Final Days from Krile, but I had no idea we'd feel the impact of it this soon...

===Head to the main hall. (Cutscene)===
'''Krile:''' Ah, there you are.
'''Krile:''' Our worst fears have come to pass. But moments ago, we received grim tidings from our contact in Radz-at-Han.
'''Krile:''' Vile beasts have appeared as if out of nowhere, claiming one victim after the next. What's more, they say the very sky burns above them...
'''Alphinaud:''' Good gods... Are the Final Days already upon us?
'''Krile:''' It would appear so. Sadly, that is all the information we have at present. No doubt the people of Radz-at-Han are busy fighting for their lives...
'''Alisaie:''' Then we must go at once! They need our help!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Agreed. Krile, you'd best remain here with Tataru and gather what knowledge you can. You are in no condition for a long journey, I imagine.
'''Krile:''' ...Very well. Similar phenomena may have been observed elsewhere, and if so, we must know about it at once.
'''Krile:''' Be safe out there, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Let us make first for Yedlihmad. We must prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' If this calamity has indeed come to Thavnair, it is all too likely that Corvos across the strait finds itself in a similar predicament.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Even now, it remains an imperial province, and as such, it may be some time until we can ascertain the situation there. We can only hope that Krile and Tataru will be able to provide us with some insight sooner rather than later.

'''Estinien:''' If the might of Vrtra is not enough to hold these fiends at bay, Radz-at-Han is in dire straits indeed. We must go at once.

'''Y'shtola:''' In ancient times, the phenomenon was first observed in places where the celestial currents had grown weakest. 'Twould seem there is a stagnancy of aether in the skies above Radz-at-Han unbeknownst even to Vrtra.

'''Krile:''' I would rather accompany you to Thavnair...but Raha's concerns are well founded. The last thing I would want is to be a burden.
'''Krile:''' And so I will remain here with Tataru, and do all I can to gather knowledge that might serve us in the battle to come. Godsspeed in your journey, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' We do not wield the creation magicks that the ancients did, yet still these abominations appear. Whatever could be the cause?

'''Alisaie:''' With the fall of the tower in Thavnair, the Hannish were beginning to enjoy a semblance of peace. And now this.

'''Thancred:''' No similar creatures have been sighted here in Sharlayan. That said, the early signs may manifest in other regions ere long. We must be prepared for every eventuality.

'''Tataru:''' I'm glad for Krile's support. I'll also call upon Hoary Boulder and the others to assist us. They will be our eyes and ears in the field, as they have been many times before.

===Journey to Thavnair (Cutscene)===
''Upon teleporting to Yedlihmad''
| Voiced cutscene |
And lo, vile beasts did rise...
Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
Sun scorches earth and boils seas...
And our sins ascend unto the heavens─
Three Dooms to unmake all we were.

'''Alisaie:''' The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
'''Ahewann:''' ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
'''Alphinaud:''' We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
'''Ahewann:''' Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
'''Ahewann:''' Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts ─ the likes of which we had never seen ─ came forth in fury and rage.
'''Ahewann:''' ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
'''Ahewann:''' The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
'''Ahewann:''' Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature ─ the largest and most dreadful of the lot ─ wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
'''Ahewann:''' Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
'''Ahewann:''' The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
'''Estinien:''' And what of Vrtra?
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
'''Ahewann:''' He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
'''Ahewann:''' You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
'''Ahewann:''' Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
'''Ahewann:''' They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
'''Ahewann:''' I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.

'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.
| Voiced cutscene end |

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Estinien:''' Usually the most dangerous foe in a wyrm's domain is the wyrm themselves. If I were Vrtra, I would be as offended as I am horrified.

'''Y'shtola:''' I shall survey the environs closely as we go about our search. There may be some clue as to how we can combat this phenomenon.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Innocent souls twisted and reformed into unholy abominations. I thought I had seen the last of such nightmares with the sin eaters...
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must act quickly, [Forename]! Every moment we tarry means another soul may be lost to this nightmare.

'''Thancred:''' If it's true that the people themselves have transformed into beasts, why, even the Radiant Host could suffer the same fate. Or us, perish the thought...

'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry. No matter how grim things might get, I won't lose heart. I'm ready whenever you need me.

'''Alphinaud:''' So the beasts are not born of creation magicks run amok, but are rather the altered forms of the people themselves. In that sense, this manifestation of the Final Days differs from that which we witnessed in Amaurot.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...And for the worse, I daresay. If any man, woman, or child could become a beast at any moment, there is no telling whence the next threat might come. We must exercise extreme caution.

===Speak with Ahewann. (Cutscene)===
'''Ahewann:''' Everyone has assembled, yes? I thank you for lending us your aid in our battle against the blasphemy. Let us review our plan of attack.
'''Ahewann:''' I would have you board this boat and circle around to the north side of the island.
'''Ahewann:''' There you will find a dense jungle we call Vanaspati.
'''Ahewann:''' It is a sacred wood, home to many temples and a number of villages.
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra and the Radiant Host have gone there ahead of us.
'''Ahewann:''' I ask that you join them, and do all in your power to destroy this blasphemy.

<blockquote>Vanaspati now accessible.</blockquote>

'''Ahewann:''' I pray we are not too late to spare the settlements within Vanaspati the fate that has befallen our city.
'''Ahewann:''' Once we meet with Vrtra and the Radiant Host, they should be able to tell us more of the present situation.

'''After ''Vasnapati'''''
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Svarvhanu:''' Rrrrrruuu...ined. I'm...rrruuuined...
'''Y'shtola:''' As I feared...
'''Alphinaud:''' What is it?
'''Y'shtola:''' The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?
'''Y'shtola:''' I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well...
'''Y'shtola:''' There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness...
'''Alphinaud:''' Emptiness? But that would mean...
'''Y'shtola:''' Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether ─ a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence ─ that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying...
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud...
'''Y'shtola:''' Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains...
'''Alisaie:''' But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue.
'''Alisaie:''' Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?
'''Y'shtola:''' Not by any means known to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They return not even to the aetherial sea...
'''Vrtra:''' The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable...
'''Vrtra:''' Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate.
'''Vrtra:''' Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe.
'''Estinien:''' You put your secret at risk.
'''Ahewann:''' Those closest to me already know the truth ─ a truth I must now share with one and all.
'''Ahewann:''' ...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair.
'''Ahewann:''' More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!
'''Vrtra:''' What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself.
'''Vrtra:''' Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos.
'''Vrtra:''' Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone.
'''Vrtra:''' I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may.
'''Vrtra:''' I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz-at-Han will not survive.
'''Estinien:''' ...Take me with you.
'''Estinien:''' I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you.
'''Vrtra:''' Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side.
'''Thancred:''' Estinien ─ here.
'''Thancred:''' It's the last thing you ever wanted - a linkpearl.
'''Thancred:''' We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely ─ which I know you loathe.
'''Estinien:''' You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all.
'''Vrtra:''' Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall.
'''Estinien:''' Fair enough. Now ─ shall we?
'''Ahewann:''' I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again...
'''Alphinaud:''' I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come.
'''Ahewann:''' Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.
| Voiced cutscene end |

====Optional Dialogue====
'''G'raha Tia:''' All life must end in death. Yet death, in turn, gives birth to new life─such is the flow of aether. To think that natural cycle could simply be...cut off─the very thought makes me shudder.

'''Alisaie:''' After so long, and so many sacrifices, we finally found a way to cure the tempered. But these poor souls...they vanish without a trace. Is there truly no saving them...?

'''Alphinaud:''' While Estinien and Vrtra defend Radz-at-Han from above, we on the ground must find a means to prevent these transformations...and soon.

'''Thancred:''' The stillness in the air puts me ill at ease. We must be wary.

'''Y'shtola:''' Worry not. I can see your aether, and that of our companions. We have not suffered the fate of those unfortunate souls.

===Speak with Ahewann.===
'''Ahewann:''' Our Radiant Host has eliminated the immediate threat to the city, though it pains me to know those beasts were once my own people...
'''Ahewann:''' There is no telling when or where the next transformation might occur. We must remain vigilant and steel ourselves for whatever is yet to come.

'''Alphinaud:''' So the beasts are not born of creation magicks run amok, but are rather the altered forms of the people themselves. In that sense, this manifestation of the Final Days differs from that which we witnessed in Amaurot.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...And for the worse, I daresay. If any man, woman, or child could become a beast at any moment, there is no telling whence the next threat might come. We must exercise extreme caution.

'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry. No matter how grim things might get, I won't lose heart. I'm ready whenever you need me.

'''Thancred:''' If it's true that the people themselves have transformed into beasts, why, even the Radiant Host could suffer the same fate. Or us, perish the thought...

'''Y'shtola:''' I shall survey the environs closely as we go about our search. There may be some clue as to how we can combat this phenomenon.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Innocent souls twisted and reformed into unholy abominations. I thought I had seen the last of such nightmares with the sin eaters...
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must act quickly, [Forename]! Every moment we tarry means another soul may be lost to this nightmare.

'''Estinien:''' Usually the most dangerous foe in a wyrm's domain is the wyrm themselves. If I were Vrtra, I would be as offended as I am horrified.

'''Ahewann:''' I pray we are not too late to spare the settlements within Vanaspati the fate that has befallen our city.
'''Ahewann:''' Once we meet with Vrtra and the Radiant Host, they should be able to tell us more of the present situation.

'''Svarvhanu:''' Rrrrrruuu...ined. I'm...rrruuuined...
'''Y'shtola:''' As I feared...
'''Alphinaud:''' What is it?
'''Y'shtola:''' The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?
'''Y'shtola:''' I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well...
'''Y'shtola:''' There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness...
'''Alphinaud:''' Emptiness? But that would mean...
'''Y'shtola:''' Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether ─ a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence ─ that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying...
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud...
'''Y'shtola:''' Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains...
'''Alisaie:''' But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue.
'''Alisaie:''' Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?
'''Y'shtola:''' Not by any means known to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They return not even to the aetherial sea...
'''Vrtra:''' The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable...
'''Vrtra:''' Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate.
'''Vrtra:''' Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe.
'''Estinien:''' You put your secret at risk.
'''Ahewann:''' Those closest to me already know the truth ─ a truth I must now share with one and all.
'''Ahewann:''' ...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair.
'''Ahewann:''' More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!
'''Vrtra:''' What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself.
'''Vrtra:''' Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos.
'''Vrtra:''' Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone.
'''Vrtra:''' I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may.
'''Vrtra:''' I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz-at-Han will not survive.
'''Estinien:''' ...Take me with you.
'''Estinien:''' I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you.
'''Vrtra:''' Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side.
'''Thancred:''' Estinien ─ here.
'''Thancred:''' It's the last thing you ever wanted - a linkpearl.
'''Thancred:''' We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely ─ which I know you loathe.
'''Estinien:''' You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all.
'''Vrtra:''' Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall.
'''Estinien:''' Fair enough. Now ─ shall we?
'''Ahewann:''' I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again...
'''Alphinaud:''' I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come.
'''Ahewann:''' Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.

===Speak with Ahewann.===
'''Ahewann:''' Our Radiant Host has eliminated the immediate threat to the city, though it pains me to know those beasts were once my own people...
'''Ahewann:''' There is no telling when or where the next transformation might occur. We must remain vigilant and steel ourselves for whatever is yet to come.

==Steps==
* Head to the main hall.
* Journey to [[Thavnair]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].
* Enter [[Vanaspati]].
* Speak with [[Ahewann]].

==Journal==
*Tataru is furrowing her brow in consternation.

*A visibly distressed Tataru informs you of grave tidings from far-off Radz–at–Han. It would appear your fellow Scions have already assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation, and you resolve to join them as soon as you are able.

*The news from Radz–at–Han is dire indeed. The heavens burn red, and unholy beasts run rampant, preying upon the people─indeed, the Final Days have come. With Krile and Tataru remaining behind to support your expedition as best they may, you prepare to depart with your companions to investigate the precise nature and extent of this calamity, and to combat it to the best of your ability.

*Thavnair is truly the stuff of nightmares. More disturbing than the rampaging beasts, however, are the words of Ahewann, satrap of Radz–at–Han, who shares with you the revelation that the monstrosities that plague the city are his own countrymen, transformed by forces unknown. The largest and most fearsome of the creatures─dubbed a “blasphemy” by the local populace─has fled north after wreaking havoc on the city. The dragon Vrtra, guardian of Thavnair, and the Radiant Host have already been dispatched in pursuit, and the satrap would have you join them.

*At the docks, Ahewann briefs you on the plan of attack. You and your fellow Scions are to circle to the north side of the island by boat, and hunt for the blasphemy deep within the sacred jungle of Vanaspati. Looking out over the waters, you steel yourself for the battle to come.
** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.

*You and your companions succeed in putting down the blasphemy, thereby eliminating the greatest threat to the people of Thavnair. There is little cause to rejoice, however, as yet more disturbing news has come to light: the ill-fated men-turned-beasts were bereft of all their aether─not only their lives, but their very souls are beyond saving. With newfound resolve to uncover the true cause of the transformations and put an end to them for good, you and your companions make to survey the area one last time before returning to Radz–at–Han.

*Though the blasphemy itself has fallen, the battle against the beastly horde rages on in the skies above. Entrusting the task of defending the island from above to the dragon Vrtra─who grudgingly allows Estinien a place upon his back─you prepare to return to Radz–at–Han with your companions. There, you will reconvene with Ahewann, that you might share the knowledge you have acquired and see how the city fares.

*Ahewann welcomes you back to the city, and reports with some relief that the lingering beasts that yet plagued the city have been dispatched. Though the immediate threat has passed, however, it is no time to rest easy, for there is no telling where and when the next transformation might occur...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Tataru:''' Oh, [Forename]! I was just about to call for you.
'''Tataru:''' I'm afraid we've received another call for assistance. This one comes from Radz-at-Han...
'''Tataru:''' The others have assembled in the main hall to discuss the situation. You must join them at once!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Tataru:''' I heard all about the Final Days from Krile, but I had no idea we'd feel the impact of it this soon...

===Head to the main hall. (Cutscene)===
'''Krile:''' Ah, there you are.
'''Krile:''' Our worst fears have come to pass. But moments ago, we received grim tidings from our contact in Radz-at-Han.
'''Krile:''' Vile beasts have appeared as if out of nowhere, claiming one victim after the next. What's more, they say the very sky burns above them...
'''Alphinaud:''' Good gods... Are the Final Days already upon us?
'''Krile:''' It would appear so. Sadly, that is all the information we have at present. No doubt the people of Radz-at-Han are busy fighting for their lives...
'''Alisaie:''' Then we must go at once! They need our help!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Agreed. Krile, you'd best remain here with Tataru and gather what knowledge you can. You are in no condition for a long journey, I imagine.
'''Krile:''' ...Very well. Similar phenomena may have been observed elsewhere, and if so, we must know about it at once.
'''Krile:''' Be safe out there, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Let us make first for Yedlihmad. We must prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead.

''Optional dialogue''
'''G'raha Tia:''' If this calamity has indeed come to Thavnair, it is all too likely that Corvos across the strait finds itself in a similar predicament.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Even now, it remains an imperial province, and as such, it may be some time until we can ascertain the situation there. We can only hope that Krile and Tataru will be able to provide us with some insight sooner rather than later.

'''Estinien:''' If the might of Vrtra is not enough to hold these fiends at bay, Radz-at-Han is in dire straits indeed. We must go at once.

'''Y'shtola:''' In ancient times, the phenomenon was first observed in places where the celestial currents had grown weakest. 'Twould seem there is a stagnancy of aether in the skies above Radz-at-Han unbeknownst even to Vrtra.

'''Krile:''' I would rather accompany you to Thavnair...but Raha's concerns are well founded. The last thing I would want is to be a burden.
'''Krile:''' And so I will remain here with Tataru, and do all I can to gather knowledge that might serve us in the battle to come. Godsspeed in your journey, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' We do not wield the creation magicks that the ancients did, yet still these abominations appear. Whatever could be the cause?

'''Alisaie:''' With the fall of the tower in Thavnair, the Hannish were beginning to enjoy a semblance of peace. And now this.

'''Thancred:''' No similar creatures have been sighted here in Sharlayan. That said, the early signs may manifest in other regions ere long. We must be prepared for every eventuality.

'''Tataru:''' I'm glad for Krile's support. I'll also call upon Hoary Boulder and the others to assist us. They will be our eyes and ears in the field, as they have been many times before.

===Journey to Thavnair (Cutscene)===
''Upon teleporting to Yedlihmad''
| Voiced cutscene |
And lo, vile beasts did rise...
Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
Sun scorches earth and boils seas...
And our sins ascend unto the heavens─
Three Dooms to unmake all we were.

'''Alisaie:''' The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
'''Ahewann:''' ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
'''Alphinaud:''' We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
'''Ahewann:''' Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
'''Ahewann:''' Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts ─ the likes of which we had never seen ─ came forth in fury and rage.
'''Ahewann:''' ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
'''Ahewann:''' The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
'''Ahewann:''' Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature ─ the largest and most dreadful of the lot ─ wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
'''Ahewann:''' Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
'''Ahewann:''' The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
'''Estinien:''' And what of Vrtra?
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
'''Ahewann:''' He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
'''Ahewann:''' You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
'''Ahewann:''' Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
'''Ahewann:''' They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
'''Ahewann:''' I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.

'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.
| Voiced cutscene end |

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.

'''Estinien:''' Usually the most dangerous foe in a wyrm's domain is the wyrm themselves. If I were Vrtra, I would be as offended as I am horrified.

'''Y'shtola:''' I shall survey the environs closely as we go about our search. There may be some clue as to how we can combat this phenomenon.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Innocent souls twisted and reformed into unholy abominations. I thought I had seen the last of such nightmares with the sin eaters...
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must act quickly, [Forename]! Every moment we tarry means another soul may be lost to this nightmare.

'''Thancred:''' If it's true that the people themselves have transformed into beasts, why, even the Radiant Host could suffer the same fate. Or us, perish the thought...

'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry. No matter how grim things might get, I won't lose heart. I'm ready whenever you need me.

'''Alphinaud:''' So the beasts are not born of creation magicks run amok, but are rather the altered forms of the people themselves. In that sense, this manifestation of the Final Days differs from that which we witnessed in Amaurot.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...And for the worse, I daresay. If any man, woman, or child could become a beast at any moment, there is no telling whence the next threat might come. We must exercise extreme caution.

===Speak with Ahewann. (Cutscene)===
'''Ahewann:''' Everyone has assembled, yes? I thank you for lending us your aid in our battle against the blasphemy. Let us review our plan of attack.
'''Ahewann:''' I would have you board this boat and circle around to the north side of the island.
'''Ahewann:''' There you will find a dense jungle we call Vanaspati.
'''Ahewann:''' It is a sacred wood, home to many temples and a number of villages.
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra and the Radiant Host have gone there ahead of us.
'''Ahewann:''' I ask that you join them, and do all in your power to destroy this blasphemy.

'''Krile:''' And so I will remain here with Tataru, and do all I can to gather knowledge that might serve us in the battle to come. Godsspeed in your journey, [Forename].

'''Alphinaud:''' We do not wield the creation magicks that the ancients did, yet still these abominations appear. Whatever could be the cause?

'''Alisaie:''' With the fall of the tower in Thavnair, the Hannish were beginning to enjoy a semblance of peace. And now this.

'''Thancred:''' No similar creatures have been sighted here in Sharlayan. That said, the early signs may manifest in other regions ere long. We must be prepared for every eventuality.

'''Tataru:''' I'm glad for Krile's support. I'll also call upon Hoary Boulder and the others to assist us. They will be our eyes and ears in the field, as they have been many times before.

===Journey to Thavnair (Cutscene)===
''Upon teleporting to Yedlihmad''
| Voiced cutscene |
And lo, vile beasts did rise...
Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
Sun scorches earth and boils seas...
And our sins ascend unto the heavens─
Three Dooms to unmake all we were.

'''Alisaie:''' The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
'''Ahewann:''' ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
'''Alphinaud:''' We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
'''Ahewann:''' Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
'''Ahewann:''' Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts ─ the likes of which we had never seen ─ came forth in fury and rage.
'''Ahewann:''' ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
'''Ahewann:''' The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
'''Ahewann:''' Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature ─ the largest and most dreadful of the lot ─ wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
'''Ahewann:''' Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
'''Ahewann:''' The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
'''Estinien:''' And what of Vrtra?
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
'''Ahewann:''' He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
'''Ahewann:''' I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
'''Ahewann:''' You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
'''Ahewann:''' Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
'''Ahewann:''' They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
'''Ahewann:''' I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.

'''Alisaie:''' We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.
| Voiced cutscene end |

===Speak with Ahewann. (Cutscene)===
'''Ahewann:''' Everyone has assembled, yes? I thank you for lending us your aid in our battle against the blasphemy. Let us review our plan of attack.
'''Ahewann:''' I would have you board this boat and circle around to the north side of the island.
'''Ahewann:''' There you will find a dense jungle we call Vanaspati.
'''Ahewann:''' It is a sacred wood, home to many temples and a number of villages.
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra and the Radiant Host have gone there ahead of us.
'''Ahewann:''' I ask that you join them, and do all in your power to destroy this blasphemy.

<blockquote>Vanaspati now accessible.</blockquote>

''Optional dialogue''
'''Alphinaud:''' So the beasts are not born of creation magicks run amok, but are rather the altered forms of the people themselves. In that sense, this manifestation of the Final Days differs from that which we witnessed in Amaurot.
'''Alphinaud:''' ...And for the worse, I daresay. If any man, woman, or child could become a beast at any moment, there is no telling whence the next threat might come. We must exercise extreme caution.

'''Alisaie:''' Don't worry. No matter how grim things might get, I won't lose heart. I'm ready whenever you need me.

'''Thancred:''' If it's true that the people themselves have transformed into beasts, why, even the Radiant Host could suffer the same fate. Or us, perish the thought...

'''Y'shtola:''' I shall survey the environs closely as we go about our search. There may be some clue as to how we can combat this phenomenon.

'''G'raha Tia:''' Innocent souls twisted and reformed into unholy abominations. I thought I had seen the last of such nightmares with the sin eaters...
'''G'raha Tia:''' We must act quickly, [Forename]! Every moment we tarry means another soul may be lost to this nightmare.

'''Estinien:''' Usually the most dangerous foe in a wyrm's domain is the wyrm themselves. If I were Vrtra, I would be as offended as I am horrified.

'''Ahewann:''' I pray we are not too late to spare the settlements within Vanaspati the fate that has befallen our city.
'''Ahewann:''' Once we meet with Vrtra and the Radiant Host, they should be able to tell us more of the present situation.

'''After ''Vasnapati'''''
| Voiced cutscene |
'''Svarvhanu:''' Rrrrrruuu...ined. I'm...rrruuuined...
'''Y'shtola:''' As I feared...
'''Alphinaud:''' What is it?
'''Y'shtola:''' The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?
'''Thancred:''' Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?
'''Y'shtola:''' I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well...
'''Y'shtola:''' There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness...
'''Alphinaud:''' Emptiness? But that would mean...
'''Y'shtola:''' Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether ─ a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence ─ that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying...
'''Y'shtola:''' This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud...
'''Y'shtola:''' Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains...
'''Alisaie:''' But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue.
'''Alisaie:''' Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?
'''Y'shtola:''' Not by any means known to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save.
'''G'raha Tia:''' They return not even to the aetherial sea...
'''Vrtra:''' The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable...
'''Vrtra:''' Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate.
'''Vrtra:''' Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!
'''Ahewann:''' Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe.
'''Estinien:''' You put your secret at risk.
'''Ahewann:''' Those closest to me already know the truth ─ a truth I must now share with one and all.
'''Ahewann:''' ...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair.
'''Ahewann:''' More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!
'''Vrtra:''' What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself.
'''Vrtra:''' Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos.
'''Vrtra:''' Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone.
'''Vrtra:''' I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may.
'''Vrtra:''' I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz-at-Han will not survive.
'''Estinien:''' ...Take me with you.
'''Estinien:''' I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you.
'''Vrtra:''' Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side.
'''Thancred:''' Estinien ─ here.
'''Thancred:''' It's the last thing you ever wanted - a linkpearl.
'''Thancred:''' We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely ─ which I know you loathe.
'''Estinien:''' You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all.
'''Vrtra:''' Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall.
'''Estinien:''' Fair enough. Now ─ shall we?
'''Ahewann:''' I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again...
'''Alphinaud:''' I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come.
'''Ahewann:''' Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.
| Voiced cutscene end |

===Speak with Ahewann.===
'''Ahewann:''' Our Radiant Host has eliminated the immediate threat to the city, though it pains me to know those beasts were once my own people...
'''Ahewann:''' There is no telling when or where the next transformation might occur. We must remain vigilant and steel ourselves for whatever is yet to come.

==Dialogue==
''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' I need not remind you of the dangers we face, nor the countless lives at stake both in the Source and its reflections. Go with courage, my friend, and pray give the others my regards.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Y'shtola:''' With the Loporrits in Urianger's capable hands, we needn't worry about affairs here in our absence.
'''Y'shtola:''' Knowing now the face of their “earthly collaborators,” there is much to discuss with Alphinaud and the others.
'''Y'shtola:''' Let us return to the Tower of Babil. Our battle for the star will soon begin in earnest, and we must be prepared.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' I'd forgotten how cold it was here in Garlemald. A testament to the Loporrits' ingenuity that I felt no such discomfort on the moon.

===Speak with Thancred at the Nethergate.===
'''Thancred:''' Gods, I can scarcely believe we went to the moon and back...
'''Thancred:''' But we'll have time to reflect on that later. Right now, we need to head back to Camp Broken Glass and deliver a thoroughly detailed report to Lucia.
'''Thancred:''' I'd like very much to know how everyone is getting on here as well. They'd only just begun to treat the tempered prisoners when we left.
'''Y'shtola:''' I share your curiosity, but warning our allies of the Final Days is of greater importance.
'''Y'shtola:''' I speak not only of the contingent, of course. The heads of state of every nation must know what we have learned.
'''Y'shtola:''' We know not when or where or in what manner the Final Days will begin to manifest, and so we must see that everyone is prepared.
'''Thancred:''' Agreed, though we may wish to stress the importance of discretion, lest the public be sent into a panic. Not that anyone in a position of responsibility should need to be told as much, but it bears repeating.
'''Thancred:''' Anyway, first things first. To Camp Broken Glass.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Maxima:''' [Forename]? At last, you are returned!

===Speak with Lucia at Camp Broken Glass. (Cutscene)===
'''Lucia:''' It's good to see you all again. No worse for your lunar adventure, I hope.
'''Thancred:''' We've done what we can for now, and believe me, we intend to tell you all about it.
'''Thancred:''' But before we do, might you tell us what's become of Garlemald in our absence?
'''Lucia:''' We succeeded in subduing the tempered inside the Tower of Babil. We took many alive, but combined with those who were already in our custody, the number requiring care has grown exponentially.
'''Lucia:''' The inclement conditions here have made it difficult ─ if not impossible ─ to treat them all here, and so we have petitioned the aid of the allied nations.
'''Lucia:''' Some are, understandably, hesitant to proffer assistance, particularly those that were but recently subject to imperial occupation. That said, several others have agreed to grant them refuge for treatment.
'''Lucia:''' With the assistance of your fellow Scions, we endeavor to see them safely transported and subsequently cured of their tempering.
'''Y'shtola:''' Will all the tempered be relocated?
'''Lucia:''' Not all, no. We have sufficient shelter to attend to those whose treatment has begun, and enough healers have volunteered to remain until their patients have recovered.
'''Lucia:''' Jullus is one such patient, though he is not yet fit to receive visitors.
'''Lucia:''' Truth be told, it was a miracle he and those in his company were not harmed in the chaos. If not for Alphinaud and Alisaie's timely assistance, I daresay none of them would be with us today.
'''Thancred:''' In light of recent developments, have the Alliance leaders come to any decisions regarding Garlemald?
'''Lucia:''' Given the tremendous ramifications of what has happened here, it will take time to determine what must be done. In the meantime, they intend to work with the Eastern alliance to keep a close watch over the provinces.
'''Lucia:''' We have other news to share: shortly after Anima was defeated, we received reports that each and every tower has vanished.
'''Lucia:''' For a mercy, the process was apparently not quite as violent as that you experienced in Thavnair. Those who were trapped within them have been rescued and are receiving treatment. To hasten this endeavor, the beast tribes have received instruction in the magicks needed to cure tempering.
'''Y'shtola:''' Master Matoya is no doubt thrilled the mother porxie affords her so many visitors.
'''Lucia:''' Yes, we are grateful for her ongoing efforts, as well of those of our comrades near and far.
'''Lucia:''' As for the contingent, several of our members have been granted leave to return to their homelands after the transfer of tempered has been completed.
'''Maxima:''' Lucia and I will remain, along with a small force to continue offering aid to those here in Garlemald.
'''Maxima:''' The Empire may be no more, but there are yet those who call these lands home.
'''Lucia:''' I believe that accounts for recent events here. So ─ what of the moon and the Telophoroi?

'''Lucia:''' The Final Days... Gods, I prayed your victory would mark the end of our troubles.
'''Y'shtola:''' There is still much we do not know, but the Alliance leaders must be told. Would you be willing to contact them in our stead?
'''Lucia:''' Yes, of course. I will send word forthwith.
'''Lucia:''' We'll also release your fellow Scions from their present duties, that they may return to Sharlayan.
'''Lucia:''' Your energies are better spent finding a means to avert the coming apocalypse.
'''Maxima:''' Speaking of your fellow Scions, you will be happy to hear that Mistress Krile, though still on the mend, has been moved to the Baldesion Annex and given into Tataru's care.
'''Y'shtola:''' Thank you. I look forward to seeing them both upon our return.
'''Thancred:''' Let us be on our way, then.
'''Maxima:''' One last thing, if I may.
'''Maxima:''' After your confrontation with Zodiark, you said Zenos took his leave, and in all likelihood he has returned here to Garlemald.
'''Maxima:''' I have a mind to dispatch scouts to try and ascertain his whereabouts, but first wished to ask if you believe there is merit in doing so.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> If they found him, they would not likely live to tell the tale.
'''Maxima:''' <sigh> I suppose you're right...
'''Maxima:''' To dispatch good soldiers in pursuit of such a beast...would be to send them to their deaths.
> If you're expecting a trail of destruction to follow, you won't find one.
'''Maxima:''' Aye. You are the only foe he considers worthy.
'''Maxima:''' And even if my men found him, who but you could even hope to bring low that monster?
'''Maxima:''' Pray forget I entertained the notion.
> An admirable but futile endeavor.
'''Maxima:''' Mayhap you're right...
'''Maxima:''' And I suppose if anyone is to hunt him down, it must be you. Who else could even hope to bring low that monster?

'''Maxima:''' Pray forget I entertained the notion.
'''Maxima:''' While on the subject of Zenos, the Xth Legion has made an official proclamation.
'''Maxima:''' They denounce the crown prince and condemn his role in the Empire's downfall.
'''Maxima:''' His very title has become a source of shame among his former subjects, and its continued use serves only to hinder relations with foreign nations.
'''Maxima:''' For this reason, he has been declared as Zenos ''viator'' Galvus, outcast and enemy of Garlemald.
'''Y'shtola:''' Fandaniel is no more, and now his own people turn against him. It seems he's naught but his bloodlust to keep him company.
'''Maxima:''' Better that than an army to see it sated. At any rate, I will not keep you longer. I pray you safe passage back to Sharlayan.

''Optional dialouge''
'''Maxima:''' Once my countrymen have recovered, it falls to me to tell them what's become of Zenos and the Empire.
'''Maxima:''' I realize there is no kindness in withholding the truth, but...it will wound them.

'''Lucia:''' Your findings will be relayed to the Alliance leaders word for word. And should we spy anything out of the ordinary here in Garlemald, all shall be informed at once.

===Speak with Krile at the Baldesion Annex.===
'''Krile:''' Welcome back, [Forename]. We were so terribly worried about you.
'''Krile:''' Though it is plain I have caused my own fair share of worry, and for that, I apologize.
'''Krile:''' Hydaelyn called to me that day when you entered the Tower of Babil. Her pleas were faint but desperate, and I knew at once She required a vessel to carry out Her will.
'''Krile:''' What came after feels like a dream barely remembered. My body flowing through the Lifestream toward Garlemald...
'''Krile:''' When I regained consciousness, I was all aches and frostbite, exhausted of aether. So exhausted, in fact, I could only laugh, for it was in that moment I understood Raha's weariness from the Tower of Zot.
'''Krile:''' Would that I could laugh at a time like this. Though we prevented Zodiark from being unleashed upon the world, I am curious to know what else took place there on the moon...
'''Krile:''' Ah, perhaps we should wait for the others to join us before you give your account.
'''Krile:''' Let us reconvene in the main hall once they've arrived.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Tataru:''' Oh, it's so good to see you! And free from chilblains, I take it?
'''Tataru:''' You'll be pleased to know everything's been kept in order since you've been away. I even brought a few useful knickknacks with me from back home.
'''Tataru:''' But no sooner had they arrived than I received word of Krile in poor health, and you on the ''moon''! If you meant to give me a fright, you succeeded.

'''Krile:''' For a blessing, I've recovered enough to get out of bed. Even if I hadn't, I could not well miss you recount your exploits on the moon.

===Wait at the designated location. (Cutscene)===
'''Alisaie:''' Sorry to have kept you all waiting.
'''Y'shtola:''' Not at all. We understand you've been quite busy.
'''Krile:''' Will Urianger be joining us?
'''Thancred:''' Duty keeps him away, I'm afraid, though [Forename] can explain why better than I.
'''Alphinaud:''' The Final Days...as befell Amaurot.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And we are to escape via the moon? What of the Source and its reflections?
'''Estinien:''' I've no intention of standing by while the world falls to ruin.
'''Estinien:''' So, how do we stop this?
'''Y'shtola:''' Unfortunately, we have no answers at present.
'''Y'shtola:''' If the celestial currents have grown stagnant, as was the case in the time of Amaurot, the solution would be to alter the flow of aether throughout the entirety of the star.
'''Y'shtola:''' The ancients accomplished this by summoning Zodiark, sacrificing half the star's population in the doing. But it should go without saying that such a sacrifice must not ─ cannot ─ be repeated.
'''Y'shtola:''' Which leaves us with the daunting task of identifying the underlying catalyst for the Final Days, a feat which even the Amaurotines could not accomplish.
'''Y'shtola:''' Unfortunately, we found no clues in Mare Lamentorum.
'''Alphinaud:''' There is still much we do not know about the catastrophe itself, let alone what may have caused it.
'''Alphinaud:''' The Final Days were marked by the corruption of the Amaurotines' creation magicks, but we command no such power. Which invites the question: what havoc is in store for us?
'''Alphinaud:''' If we knew that much, perhaps we could draw some parallel with the events of the past, and thereby form some semblance of a plan.
'''Y'shtola:''' Perhaps we should start with the Forum, then. Having worked with the Loporrits in secret all this time, there is surely more they can tell us.
'''Tataru:''' Forgive the interruption, but I've urgent news!
'''Tataru:''' The Forum is holding a public assembly in the plaza outside. Some sort of announcement!
'''Alisaie:''' What is Father up to now?
'''Krile:''' There's only one way to find out.

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Barnier:''' Order! Order, I say!
'''Barnier:''' I thank you all for gathering here on such short notice.
'''Barnier:''' This day we must speak of grave affairs and their implications for the future of Sharlayan ─ nay, of this very star.
'''Barnier:''' Said affairs concern all citizens, and so we have called for a public assembly.
'''Barnier:''' You may have heard rumors of the Telophoroi, and the havoc these madmen wreak abroad.
'''Barnier:''' Under normal circumstances, we would pay little heed to petty disturbances outside our borders. The “Final Days,” however, are another matter altogether...
'''Barnier:''' ...For we dare not ignore these prophetic words of eld:
'''Barnier:''' “The end-bearers will come, ushering chaos and calamity. The Final Days descend and devour the very star...”
'''Elezen Man:''' I've never heard this prophecy.
'''Hyuran Woman:''' Is it true? Will all that really happen?
'''Barnier:''' Calm yourselves. The time is come to speak of the Forum's most sacred duties. But first...
'''Outspoken Councilor:''' Give voice to the voiceless. Let bindings be unbound. By unanimous decree, I declare the enchantment broken!
'''Barnier:''' Master Leveilleur, if you would.
'''Fourchenault:''' Very well...
'''Fourchenault:''' Two hundred and seventy years ago, our forebears began an expedition in the Dravanian hinterlands, in search of a route to access the aetherial sea.
'''Fourchenault:''' This much is public knowledge. Their findings, however, would become the Forum's most closely guarded secret.
'''Fourchenault:''' What those researchers discovered in the hinterlands was not a passage unto the aetherial sea, but the very heart of our star ─ and Hydaelyn Herself.
'''Fourchenault:''' She spoke to them of a calamity that would extinguish all life, and of a means by which we might be spared.
'''Fourchenault:''' The moon. 'Tis in truth a gargantuan vessel built to serve as sanctuary for Her children and deliver them from this doom.
'''Fourchenault:''' Much like ''Nyunkrepf's Hope'' in ages past, it will bear the people of a world in the throes of death to a new home.
'''Barnier:''' Needless to say, this would be no small undertaking. To facilitate the great work, the Forum has maintained close contact with the servants of Hydaelyn who presently reside on the moon.
'''Barnier:''' Convinced that the foretold end was all but inevitable, we began amassing a wealth of knowledge. Not merely for the betterment of our nation, but in preparation for the journey to come.
'''Elezen Man:''' You reveal this to us now? By the gods, how long do we have!?
'''Barnier:''' While we cannot say with certainty, we believe the hour to be nigh. We received a transmission from the moon suggesting as much not long ago.
'''Barnier:''' Which is why we must in earnest begin preparations for the great exodus.
'''Barnier:''' For his impressive contributions and the leadership he demonstrated during our withdrawal from Dravania, we have elected Master Leveilleur to oversee this initiative.
'''Fourchenault:''' Fellow scribes and scholars. My countrymen. We face a threat of unprecedented scale.
'''Fourchenault:''' We must challenge the trials before us with composure and conviction if we are to find salvation.
'''Fourchenault:''' The wisdom of Sharlayan has ever been a shining beacon in the darkness, and so it shall continue to be.
'''Fourchenault:''' It is our solemn charge to see our heritage preserved for future generations. For those who will come after, we will brave a new frontier.
'''Barnier:''' Administrative edicts will be relayed to all major institutions ere long. In the meantime, carry on with your duties. With that, I hereby call this assembly to a close.

'''Alisaie:''' Do you remember what Mother told us when we visited home?
'''Alisaie:''' That it wasn't until after we were born that Father seemed to lose himself in his work.
'''Alisaie:''' If that ''great work'' of his was the evacuation of this star, then...
'''Alphinaud:''' Yes... It wasn't for his benefit...
'''Alphinaud:''' Would you mind waiting here a moment? I wish to speak with Father before we leave.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Take your time.
'''Alphinaud:''' Thank you. I shan't be long.
> Keep it civil, eh?
'''Alphinaud:''' I may look daggers at him, but I will neither speak nor draw them.

'''Alisaie:''' If it's all the same to you, I have a few choice words to share with Father as well.
'''Fourchenault:''' So. Come to call us cowards and bid us join your fruitless battle against the inevitable?
'''Alphinaud:''' Nay, we do not object to the Forum's proposal. On the contrary, those who wish to flee have every right to do so.
'''Alphinaud:''' Urianger is cooperating with your associates on the moon to ensure that all is ready should evacuation be our only recourse.
'''Fourchenault:''' Then whatever your business, I suggest you be brief.
'''Alphinaud:''' Though we cannot boast the boundless wisdom of Sharlayan, we have firsthand knowledge of foreign cultures, and have conversed with no small number of peoples.
'''Alphinaud:''' These experiences have taught us fundamental truths that cannot be recorded in any tome, nor charted on any map.
'''Alphinaud:''' The beating heart of this planet is its people, many of whom would give anything ─ even their lives ─ to protect the lands they love.
'''Alphinaud:''' Many may choose to join you in the end. But what of those unwilling or unable, for whom escape will never be an option? What would you have them do?
'''Alphinaud:''' To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom, Father. It is indolence.
'''Alphinaud:''' This is why we choose to fight.
'''Alisaie:''' We'll not ask for your understanding, Father. Only that you don't turn a blind eye to the good we have done. That we can still do.
'''Alisaie:''' We're not children in need of protection. Hold fast to your principles and let the world burn, if it please, but we believe there is still another way.
'''Alisaie:''' And if there is, we will find it. You see if we don't.
'''Fourchenault:''' Do as you will. Just stay out of our way.
'''Y'shtola:''' Were he not so consumed with self-righteousness, he might tell you how proud he is of you both.
'''Estinien:''' Bold words call for bold action. And there'll be no turning to your father should plans go awry.
'''Alisaie:''' As if I ever would. So long as there are those who wish to stay and fight for this star, we have to do what we can to help them.
'''Thancred:''' And if we're to do that, we'll need to be well rested.
'''Thancred:''' Wouldn't you agree? Having triumphed over what we once thought to be the source of all evil, I can think of no one in greater need of at least a dozen winks.
'''Alphinaud:''' Shall we, then? To the annex, to prepare for tomorrow!

===Speak with Ojika Tsunjika.===
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Krile tells me the Forum made a rather momentous announcement. So there's to be a great exodus, is there?
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' I'm reminded of my narrow escape from the Isle of Val. The realization, the running, the mixture of relief and regret after. “Why me?” I asked myself. “Why me?”
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Why us? Why now? Why wonder ─ there's no use fretting over the cosmic morality or lack thereof. We're here, and we'll get through this together. And who knows, maybe my luck will rub off and grant everyone a narrow escape. There's no harm in praying for as much.
'''Ojika Tsunjika:''' Oh, but enough of my rambling ─ I'm sure you're exhausted. Your chamber awaits!

A visitor has come knocking at your door. Whoever could it be?
'''''What will you say?'''''
| Voiced cutscenes |

'''> Alphinaud?'''
'''Alphinaud:''' Ah, I hope I didn't wake you.
'''Alphinaud:''' I pray you will forgive the unannounced visit, but I wished to speak with you before retiring for the night...
'''Alphinaud:''' ...About Garlemald, and the time we spent with the people of Tertium.
'''Alphinaud:''' Dangerous though it was, I'm glad we had the opportunity to treat with Jullus and Quintus.
'''Alphinaud:''' I was worried what might happen after we were collared. If they attempted to restrain you too. If they succeeded...
'''Alphinaud:''' Once more I put you in harm's way. And for that I must apologize...
'''Alphinaud:''' Or rather... I should thank you. For trusting in me, time and time again.
'''Alphinaud:''' After all our journeys together, I daresay I've used every expression imaginable to convey to you my gratitude. Nevertheless, I hope these words of mine still carry some small weight.
'''Alphinaud:''' Tomorrow, our fight continues. Mayhap it would have been better to seek you out after we have true cause for celebration.
'''Alphinaud:''' But having mustered the courage to stand up to Father and achieve a personal victory of sorts, I wanted to carry on in that spirit before my nerves got the better of me.
'''Alphinaud:''' The hour grows late, and you doubtless tire of my ramblings.
'''Alphinaud:''' I have a letter for Arenvald to finish, but will be off to bed shortly. Sleep well.

'''> Alisaie?'''
'''Alisaie:''' Craving a midnight snack, were you? I did consider bringing a few sweets, but decided this wasn't an appropriate occasion.
'''Alisaie:''' I couldn't sleep. Had a few things on my mind. I know it's late, so I'll try not to talk your ear off.
'''Alisaie:''' It's Zenos. I keep thinking back to Garlemald, when he'd taken control of your body.
'''Alisaie:''' An altogether terrifying experience, to say the least. And one that served as a harsh reminder.
'''Alisaie:''' No one - no matter how strong or quick or clever - is invincible. Not even you.
'''Alisaie:''' And as much as it might seem at times that you are... one misstep. One mistake... and that's that.
'''Alisaie:''' Which is why, even though I know you've heard it a thousand times before, I'm going to tell you to take better care of yourself. Because you really, really should.
'''Alisaie:''' It goes without saying that we're all committed to this fight, but that doesn't mean that we need to throw our lives away. You know how I feel about noble sacrifices.
'''Alisaie:''' Right - that's settled! We'll be keeping the acts of gratuitous bravado to a minimum.
'''Alisaie:''' When I look Father in the eye and swore we'd find a way to avert this tragedy...
'''Alisaie:''' It wasn't a promise just for him. It was a promise for you, too.

'''> Thancred?'''
'''Thancred:''' Evening.I hoped you hadn't crawled beneath the covers just yet.
'''Thancred:''' If you'll indulge me for a moment, I have a favor to ask.
'''Thancred:''' Don't worry. Nothing desperate or dire, if that's what you were wondering. Not yet.
'''Thancred:''' You know, we may have quite literally entered our final days. The ancients went so far to call it that for a reason.
'''Thancred:''' If so, then everything we did for Ryne, for the First... will have been meaningless. And I can't accept that. I just can't.
'''Thancred:''' My mind won't allow for the possibility, and that could be a problem. When we're in the thick of it, I don't know if I've got it in me to be pragmatic this time... even if running's the right choice. The only choice.
'''Thancred:''' So if you see me turning a blind eye to the harsh reality... beat some sense into me, would you?
'''Thancred:''' I trust you and the other Scions with my life, and I'd like to think the feeling is at least occasionally mutual.
'''Thancred:''' And I'd never forgive myself if my stubbornness put them in danger.
'''Thancred:''' Gods, listen to me. I'm beginning to sound like the father I never had.
'''Thancred:''' So, can I count on you to keep me in line? I can think of no one else more eminently qualified.
'''Thancred:''' Excellent!
'''Thancred:''' Now I can breathe a bit easier. Which isn't to say that I will, given what we're up against.
'''Thancred:''' Let's keep this little chat our secret. I'd rather not have anyone scolding us for burning the midnight oil.

'''> Y'shtola?'''
'''Y'shtola:''' You're still awake. Good.
'''Y'shtola:''' Might I trouble you to stand still for a moment?
'''Y'shtola:''' Hmmm. Nothing appears out of the ordinary.
'''Y'shtola:''' A precautionary measure. You will recall that serving as a vessel for abundant Light in the First very nearly ended poorly.
'''Y'shtola:''' In your recent battle on the moon, you were certainly exposed to similar, if not greater forces. Fortunately, from what I can see, you and your aether are none the worse for wear.
'''Y'shtola:''' Would that Ryne were here to confirm my assessment...
'''Y'shtola:''' To think you actually found yourself in a direct confrontation with Zodiark...
'''Y'shtola:''' As if Zenos gallivanting about in your body was not misfortune enough. Did you so grossly offend every single deity in a past life that they saw fit to place a curse upon your soul?
'''Y'shtola:''' Forgive me, that was in poor taste. I recall vividly how battered and broken it was in the depths of Amaurot.
'''Y'shtola:''' Would that you could have seen it with your own eyes. Mayhap then you would understand why the greater part of me is glad you did not. It was... a horror beyond description.
'''Y'shtola:''' Promise me you will be careful. That you will seek my counsel if you feel unwell.
'''Y'shtola:''' That puts my heart as ease, if only a touch. I suspect it will grow colder as the night wears on, so do be sure to stay warm.
'''Y'shtola:''' Sleep well, and may the shadows keep you.

'''> G'raha Tia?'''
'''G'raha Tia:''' Oh apologies, I-I didn't mean to... Ahem. If you could spare a moment before bed...
'''G'raha Tia:''' Thank you, I fear this may be the last quiet night we have to talk for quite some time.
'''G'raha Tia:''' I am... troubled, of late. Unwarranted concerns, perhaps. I hope. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share them with you.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Though you have bested your enemies thus far - Zenos, and even Zodiark - your victories have come at a considerable cost to yourself.
'''G'raha Tia:''' No one is without their limits - and you are no exception. I worry the added weight of the Final Days will prove more than you can bear.
'''G'raha Tia:''' It is surely too much for any one woman/man...
'''G'raha Tia:''' But you needn't bear it alone. Let me share your burden.
'''G'raha Tia:''' My, um... carrying capacity pales in comparison to yours, but I could still help. Shoulder the occasional satchel from your ever-growing mountain of, um... baggage.
'''G'raha Tia:''' You have already done so much to help relieve me of mine own encumbrances. 'Tis only fair that I repay you in kind.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Of course, it needn't be only troubles we share.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Moments of joy may seem few and far between now, but there will come a time when we look back fondly on this journey.
'''G'raha Tia:''' The inquiry at the Forum, our march through the snows of Garlemald, our impromptu dinner in this very room - all of it.
'''G'raha Tia:''' And that is to say nothing of the journeys yet to come. To the ends of the world and beyond!
'''G'raha Tia:''' Ahem. But tomorrow will be no less busy than today, and I have kept you from your rest long enough.
'''G'raha Tia:''' Sleep well, my friend.

'''> Estinien?'''
'''Estinien:''' You're alone... Good.
'''Estinien:''' The twins thought now would be a wonderful time to pay a visit to my chambers. Rather than listen to them bicker over tonight's snacks and tomorrow's plans, I seized the first opportunity to make my escape.
'''Estinien:''' To their credit, they decided against intruding on your peace and quiet.
'''Estinien:''' It can all be a bit...exhausting at times, can't it?
'''Estinien:''' I wasn't sure what to make of you at first. During the Dragonsong War, how quick you were to take up a cause not your own. But I came to see that is simply the way of you and yours.
'''Estinien:''' I will not pretend to understand this talk of ancient primals and the Final Days.
'''Estinien:''' But I trust in your judgment and choose to believe in your cause. You and Alphinaud have my lance. Now and always.
'''Estinien:''' You will need it, wrack and ruin looming on the horizon. Calamity bearing down upon us.
'''Estinien:''' There's no place I'd rather be than here. Standing shoulder to shoulder with friends on the front line.
'''Estinien:''' So do not hesitate to send me against your enemies. I'll make them rue the day they met me.
'''Estinien:''' Now, if you'll excuse me. I could do with a little air.
'''Estinien:''' If Alphinaud asks... I was never here.
'''Estinien:''' Until the morrow.

'''A short while earlier, in the Ala Mhigan Quarter...'''
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' Thank the gods that tower is gone. The sight of it was enough to make me sick...
'''Ala Mhigan Merchant:''' Thank the Ilsabard contingent, more like. Word is they fought their way into Garlemald and toppled the bloody thing themselves. Not just the one, neither ─ all the towers have up and vanished.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' Aye, I heard the same. Commander Aldynn and his troops helped keep casualties to a minimum, too.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' But is it true they brought back tempered Garlean soldiers?
'''Ala Mhigan Merchant:''' As Commander Aldynn tells it, they've a treatment for that now. But don't you worry ─ cured or not, they've no plans to bring them into the city proper.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' I see. Well, that's a relief, then.
'''Ala Mhigan Woman:''' I know we've brothers and sisters among the lot, but I can't say I'm eager to welcome them home...
'''Ala Mhigan Merchant:''' Won't need to think about it for a while yet. They're to be looked after in Ala Gannha for the time being...

'''Meanwhile, in Ishgard...'''
'''Erenville:''' Another day, another commission of paramount importance...
'''Erenville:''' Hm? Well, what have we here...?
'''Erenville:''' Hey! Are you all right?
'''Erenville:''' Was that...? No. The shadows play tricks. Nothing more.
'''Erenville:''' The towers are gone, and the Garlean threat has abated. And yet...
'''Erenville:''' Why does it feel as though it's about to get much, much worse...?

==Steps==
* Speak with [[Growingway]].
* Defeat the [[Loporrits]].
* Speak with [[Y'shtola]].
* Speak with [[Urianger]].

==Journal==
*Growingway is fidgeting with nervous energy, but is it from excitement or worry?

*Growingway suddenly remembers where the Scions can learn more about the Final Days─the archives located on the second floor of the main plaza. He asks you to follow him as he hops off with all haste.

*In a seemingly unexpected turn of bad luck, the entrance to the archives is locked. Growingway suggests you go and find whoever holds the door's key, but Y'shtola has already seen through his ruse. He soon confesses that he was tasked with distracting you, Y'shtola, and Thancred while Livingway and the other Loporrits carry out an ulterior task. With their plan now exposed, the Loporrits intend to detain you by force if necessary.

*Before reinforcements can overwhelm you, the three of you split up, incapacitating any Loporrits that get in your way. Their motives are not yet clear, but you all agree Urianger must be found before the situation turns dire.

*You find Urianger near the Watcher's Palace in the midst of conversation with Livingway and her companions. Their plan, it seems, was to coerce Urianger to travel back to Etheirys alone where he would assist their collaborators. He refuses, and instead begs the Loporrits be patient, for he believes the people of Etheirys will do what is right in due time. Rather than return, he pledges to remain on the moon, where he will teach the Loporrits what they need to know of Etheirys to better prepare the moon in the event an evacuation becomes necessary.

*Should the worst come to the worst, you must be prepared for every eventuality. And so it is with a heavy heart Urianger bids you safe journey back to Etheirys.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Y'shtola:''' I am beginning to grow tired of these games.

'''Thancred:''' If some scheme was afoot, surely Urianger would be the first to see through it.
'''Thancred:''' Then again, he does tend to give others the benefit of the doubt...

===Accepting the quest===
'''Growingway:''' Oh, what to do, what to do... I promised Livingway I would help, but...
'''Growingway:''' No. I promised I'd help, so that's what I'll do!
'''Growingway:''' The archives are on the second floor of the main plaza, the eastern wing. Follow me!
'''Y'shtola:''' I suspect the Loporrits are up to something, but if there is aught to be learned of the Final Days, I think it best we play along. For now, at least.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' What other knowledge do you suppose we could glean from their archives?

'''Thancred:''' The architecture of this place is impressive, though more than a little confusing to navigate.
'''Thancred:''' Is it too much to ask for clearly marked exits? Or a map, perhaps?

===Speak with Growingway. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' The archives are right through this door, but it seems to be locked.
'''Growingway:''' I guess we'll just have to go and find whoever has the key.
'''Y'shtola:''' Growingway, enough.
'''Y'shtola:''' If you have naught else to tell us of the Final Days, you need only say so. We can ill afford to be wasting time here, as you well know.
'''Y'shtola:''' Did you yourselves not tell us we must act quickly?
'''Growingway:''' Yes. Yes, we did, but...
'''Growingway:''' The moon was to be a perfect paradise for the people of Etheirys, and we're running out of time to make everything ready for their arrival.
'''Growingway:''' We hoped you'd see the wonders we have to offer, but you've found nothing but faults and flaws in our work. Only one of you saw our potential, so you others must be kept here.
'''Thancred:''' Ah, so that's Livingway's game. Run us about in circles and, failing that, lock us away so we can't put the plan at risk.
'''Thancred:''' Everyone except Urianger.
'''Growingway:''' He understands what is at stake... What must be done.
'''Y'shtola:''' I fear you've misjudged us, Growingway. Never have we decried the notion of using the moon as a means of escape.
'''Y'shtola:''' That said, my heart breaks at the thought of abandoning Etheirys and her reflections to their doom. If there is a way to avert the Final Days, I wish to find it. We all do.
'''Y'shtola:''' We may fail, but our efforts would never be at the expense of your plans.
'''Growingway:''' But why would you take that risk!?
'''Growingway:''' There's no room for ifs and maybes now.
'''Growingway:''' The people of Etheirys will escape here to the moon. They'll be safe, and we'll finally get to see all their happy, smiling faces.
'''Growingway:''' I'm sorry, but we can't let you leave. We just can't.
'''Growingway:''' Do what you must, but...try not to hurt them.
'''Growingway:''' I'll be back in a moment. Don't do anything rash while I'm gone.
'''Thancred:''' If we dally, they'll overwhelm us with sheer numbers. I say we knock these ones out, split up, and make our way to the exit.
'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. Let us reconvene where Argos awaits outside.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' There you are. Didn't rough them up too badly, did you?

===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===
'''Y'shtola:''' Good. You're here.
'''Y'shtola:''' We must hurry to the Watcher's Palace and find Urianger.

| Voiced cutscene |
'''Urianger:''' ...And what, pray tell, do we seek at the Watcher's Palace?
'''Livingway:''' Oh, come off it, friend! You know full well why we're here.
'''Livingway:''' The time has come for you to return to Etheirys and help your brethren prepare for their journey here and beyond!
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me, Livingway, but I cannot in good conscience proceed with this plan.
'''Mappingway:''' Huh!? But what about the Final Days? The death and the doom!? We have to hurry before it's too late!
'''Urianger:''' Your unflagging commitment to your duty is endearing, to say the least.
'''Urianger:''' Be at ease. They bear you no grudge, nor do I. How could we, having come to understand your purpose?
'''Urianger:''' For millennia, you and yours worked tirelessly towards the singular purpose of this heavenly vessel's construction. An arduous feat by any measure.
'''Urianger:''' 'Tis clear you have spared no effort. Why, your very names are a testament to your dedication.
'''Livingway:''' Our...our names? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at...
'''Urianger:''' Names are an expression of the self ─ a declaration of one's hopes and aspirations.
'''Urianger:''' Your use of contemporary, uncomplicated nomenclature doth ensure clarity of purpose.
'''Urianger:''' There can be no doubt that your love for the people of Etheirys is boundless and pure.
'''Singingway:''' Yes, yes! A most mellifluous phrasing!
'''Singingway:''' We Loporrits were born of Hydaelyn's love for Etheirys.
'''Singingway:''' That shining, shimmering blue jewel. Brightest star in the sky! Brimming with life and possibilities.
'''Mappingway:''' For as long as I can remember I've toiled in anticipation of the day when this vessel might be needed.
'''Mappingway:''' All I've ever wanted was to meet those She cherished so dearly. To serve and serve well!
'''Livingway:''' That goes for all of us, don't you see? So help us ─ help us help them! Lead them here, where we can keep them safe!
'''Livingway:''' If there's anything wrong with what we've built, we'll fix it! We'll make it right!
'''Urianger:''' Your works want not for repair. Yet there remaineth much for you to learn of men, and your own kin besides.
'''Urianger:''' Singingway. Thy name bespeaketh more than the simple marriage of rhythm and rhyme.
'''Urianger:''' The songs of Etheirys are beyond counting, and span the length and breadth of emotion.
'''Urianger:''' Maps are monuments to man's pioneering spirit and his devotion to charting the furthest reaches of our star.
'''Urianger:''' Many have devoted their lifetimes to exploratory pursuits. To venture unto the highest mountains and the deepest oceans, in search of unknown frontiers.
'''Urianger:''' And thou, my friend. I... Hmm. I do not think we have met.
'''Puddingway:''' My...my name is Puddingway...
'''Urianger:''' Puddingway... Yes, indeed. A name of deep and abiding significance, I am sure, but one perhaps better communicated through delicious deeds than tasteless words.
'''Urianger:''' A judicious application of fae magicks at a later juncture may be appropriate...
'''Urianger:''' And Livingway. 'Tis no easy feat to convey the significance of thy moniker.
'''Urianger:''' Hmmm... When I was a bookish boy, a dear friend of mine was fond of peppering me with questions as I read ─ to my occasional annoyance. One day I posed to her a question of mine own ─ what doth it mean to live?
'''Urianger:''' After much contemplation, she proffered this answer.
'''Urianger:''' The anticipation of a half-read story's conclusion. The hope today's mistake may serve as tomorrow's lesson.
'''Urianger:''' The wish that a new acquaintance may one day call thee friend. She believed it to be all these moments and more.
'''Livingway:''' I...I want to understand, but...
'''Urianger:''' I, too, still labor to find mine own answer. 'Twould be my pleasure to assist you and yours in embarking on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
'''Urianger:''' For thee.
'''Urianger:''' Ink as blue as the waters of Etheirys. Made in haste, though I assure thee the quality has not suffered for it.
'''Urianger:''' The people need not be persuaded by honeyed words. Nay, I have faith they shall do what is right in due course.
'''Urianger:''' Until they do, I beg your patience, friends. And with that ink let us fill the empty pages of Livingway's compendium.
'''Urianger:''' An open exchange of ideas will surely afford you all a better understanding of modern man ─ and with it, ideas for improvements and renovations.
'''Urianger:''' But more importantly, it shall empower us to together find a way forward.
'''Livingway:''' I hope you're right. Thank you for this lovely gift.
'''Urianger:''' There you have it. I shall remain with the Loporrits to ensure that all is in order.
'''Urianger:''' Though we must needs prepare for every eventuality, you would all agree that the evacuation of our star is a last resort.
'''Urianger:''' To accept failure is to accept the demise not only of our star, but that of Ryne's. Of all reflections, and the souls that call them home.
'''Urianger:''' Which is why I have every faith that you shall fight to the last. That such drastic measures may prove unnecessary.
'''Thancred:''' Should the worst come to the worst ─ and I pray deeply that it won't ─ I'll take comfort in knowing preparations were made under your watchful eye.
'''Urianger:''' Aye, thou mayest be assured that if calamity cometh, not a soul will be left behind. “If” being the operative term.
''The flower glows in WOL's pocket.''
'''The Watcher:''' That flower... How came it into your possession?
'''The Watcher:''' How very like Her.
'''The Watcher:''' Guided by its light, you may come to know Her true intentions. Intentions which remain a mystery even to us.
'''The Watcher:''' In our time, we called it “Elpis”... You would do well to remember the name.
'''Livingway:''' Er, I hate to interrupt, but...I feel like I need to make amends for all the secrecy.
'''Y'shtola:''' Think nothing of it ─ we haven't been the most gracious of guests. Do convey our apologies to Growingway and the others.
'''Livingway:''' But of course! And when next we welcome more guests from Etheirys, we'll have learned to be much more hospitable hosts!
'''Livingway:''' Oh, and circling back to the matter of inappropriate secrecy, we ought to discuss our benefactors.
'''Y'shtola:''' Agreed. The Sharlayan Forum, yes?
'''Livingway:''' What!? How did you know!?
'''Y'shtola:''' The more I heard, the more obvious it became. The Forum's aims align closely with those of your anonymous patrons. “A telling coincidence” would be an understatement.
'''Y'shtola:''' Though had we not taken it upon ourselves to peruse certain restricted tomes in Labyrinthos, we might still be unaware of their plans.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...But let us continue this discussion upon our return. I daresay we have kept Alphinaud and the others waiting long enough.
| Voiced cutscene end |

''Optional dialogue''
'''Mappingway:''' There is little I can do to help stop the Final Days, but should you need to know of star traversal, look no further!
'''Mappingway:''' Such knowledge I can offer in abundance, so do not hesitate if you find yourself wanting.

'''Livingway:''' Well, that was all rather embarrassing, wasn't it? At least we're on the same page now ─ people ''and'' Etheirys. We'll save both, or at least give it a good try.

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Make sure everyone listens to Urianger, would you?
'''Livingway:''' Oh, we'll be all ears. And you know we can be!
> Tell Growingway I look forward to our next walk together.
'''Livingway:''' I will. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it.
> You Loporrits sure an excitable bunch.
'''Livingway:''' Well, it's not as if we've been waiting twelve thousand years to meet the people of Etheirys. Oh wait, we have! But that's neither here nor there. Under Urianger's tutelage, we'll strive to become more hospitable hosts, and see that the moon is fully equipped to meet the needs of its potential passengers.

'''Puddingway:''' Nice to meet you... Name's Puddingway.
'''Puddingway:''' Sorry again for all the trouble... We promise we'll do better. Honest.

'''Singingway:''' The others will be so happy to hear Urianger is going to stay and teach us all about Etheirys.
'''Singingway:''' We'll have to be careful not to get too distracted by his lessons ─ there's still maintenance to carry out, after all.

'''Y'shtola:''' The Loporrits think so highly of the people of Etheirys, yet it seems this evacuation plan is the only way they know to express their adoration.
'''Y'shtola:''' If we had been more clear in our intentions from the start, mayhap we could have avoided this wrinkle...
'''Y'shtola:''' Something to keep in mind in future.

'''Thancred:''' A declaration of hopes and aspirations... I hadn't thought of it that way before.
'''Thancred:''' The Loporrits may be in good hands now, but that doesn't change the fact that their plan is a last resort I'd rather not employ.
'''Thancred:''' Let's see it doesn't come to that. For the First and all the other reflections.

'''The Watcher:''' I chanced to spy you crossing the chasm, and I feared something was amiss.
'''The Watcher:''' But all is well, and more importantly, I have been given the opportunity to behold a wonderful sight.
'''The Watcher:''' Keep the Elpis close, and its light will be your guide.

===Speak with Urianger.===
'''Urianger:''' 'Twas a relief to see Livingway was pleased with my gift of ink.
'''Urianger:''' “To serve and serve well”... Though their knowledge may be lacking, their boundless love is a blessing without peer.
'''Urianger:''' It will be no easy task to prepare them for what must needs be done, but gladly do I embrace this duty...even if it doth necessitate that we part ways for a time.
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me my absence, but I have the utmost faith in you. In all our fellow Scions. When next I return to Etheirys, I pray I find you all in good health and good spirits.

==Steps==
*Place [[Carrot Seeds|carrot seeds]] in the carrot creation station.
*Pick up the crate of crystals.
*Fill the carrot creation station with water crystals.
*Obtain [[Carrot of Happiness (Key Item)|carrots]] from the carrot creation stations. 0/2
*Deliver the [[Carrot of Happiness (Key Item)|carrots]] to [[Dreamingway]].
*Speak with [[Knockingway]].

==Journal==
*Dreamingway has one last demonstration for you.

*Still determined to discover a dream worthy of pursuit, Dreamingway wishes to show you how the Loporrits grow carrots─by having you try it yourself. To begin, he asks that you bring a handful of seeds to the carrot creation station nearby.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*You somewhat unceremoniously load the seeds into the carrot creation station, impressing Dreamingway nevertheless. He explains that the next step towards a bountiful harvest requires water crystals, which can be had from the sparkling supply station in the northeast corner of the Carrotorium.

*You find a large store of crystals exactly where Dreamingway said they would be. With crate in hand, you make your perilous journey over ramp and oversized stairway to arrive at a nearby carrot creation station.

*Once the crystals are deposited into the machine, all one needs do is wait for the carrots to grow. Fortuitously, after mere moments, Dreamingway hears a sound─undetectable to your ears─that indicates carrots elsewhere in the Carrotorium are ready for picking.

*You visit the surrounding creation stations and, surely enough, find two carrots practically begging to be plucked. After freeing them with satisfying tugs, you tuck them into your bag that you might present them to Dreamingway.

*Dreamingway commends you on a job well done, though sadly, your success only reaffirms his belief that he is an unremarkable Loporrit. Mention of his exceptional hearing, however, gives you an idea, and so you ask if he has ever considered musical pursuits. After a brief explanation of what music is, he hums a melody together with his companion Knockingway. Both find it to be a heartwarming experience, and thus is Dreamingway inspired to share the gift of music with anyone and everyone─a dream of his very own.

*Knockingway thanks you for solving Dreamingway's problem as only a person of Etheirys can. Similarly, the newly motivated Loporrit promises to practice his music often, hopeful that he will have a new tune to play for you when next you meet.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Dreamingway:''' Well, [Forename]? Are you excited to learn about the wonderful world of carrot cultivation?
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Not that there's a lot to it, truth be told. We simply place the seeds in the machine, water them, and then reap the sweet rewards.
'''Dreamingway:''' It's so easy that a─well, that anyone could do it!
'''Dreamingway:''' Hmm... As far as I know, you're an “anyone.” Why not try it for yourself?
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, completing menial tasks is so much more fun with friends! Pray take these seeds and follow me─I do believe there's an open creation station nearby.

====Optional Dialogue, at open creation station====
'''Dreamingway:''' Go on, place the seeds in here.

===Place [[Carrot Seeds|carrot seeds]] in the carrot creation station===
'''Dreamingway:''' That carefree tossing motion of yours seems to have scattered the seeds nicely. Now, of course, they'll need water...
'''Dreamingway:''' Water ''crystals'', to be precise─and this isn't the only machine in need of replenishment. Why don't you pay a visit to the sparkling supply station over in the northeast corner, and then bring a crate of crystals to the creation station nearby?

===Pick up the crate of crystals===
'''System:''' Your next quest objective requires '''''Transporting'''''. You will have 90 seconds to complete the objective.

====Optional Dialogue, at open creation station, while still carrying the water crystals====
'''Dreamingway:''' Load those crystals into the machine to start the growing process─preferably before you drop them all over the floor.

===Fill the carrot creation station with water crystals===
'''Dreamingway:''' That should be enough to make our carrots grow nice and big! And the machine converts them into water bit by bit, so we never need worry that the seedlings are too wet or too dry.
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Oho! Don't you just love that sound?
'''Dreamingway:''' What─did you not hear that tone just now? It's telling us there are carrots ready for harvesting!
'''Dreamingway:''' They're not at this station, but I am certain I heard the joyous sound of two ripened carrots. You may as well see this through to the end─pulling them is the best part!

===Deliver the [[Carrot of Happiness (Key Item)|carrots]] to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Do I smell carrots? ...That was rhetorical. It definitely smells like carrots in here.

''(Hand over two carrots)''

====Cutscene====
'''Dreamingway:''' Mmm, mouthwatering!
'''Dreamingway:''' That's really all there is to it─and to my days, to put it plainly. I apologize for not being more interesting to follow around.
'''Dreamingway:''' So...have you any ideas for a dream that would suit a Loporrit like me?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Er...maybe we should consider one of your hobbies. >'''
'''< What do you do when you're not working? >'''

'''''< Er...maybe we should consider one of your hobbies. >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' But I...I don't have any hobbies...

'''''< What do you do when you're not working? >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' I, um... What ''do'' I do?

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> It seems it just wasn't meant to be. I should never have taken such an extraordinary name, being so very ordinary myself...
'''Dreamingway:''' If only I had some sort of skill to set me apart from the others! Aside from hearing things no one else does, I suppose.

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Hmm... Do you like listening to music? >'''
'''< A good ear, eh? Have you tried making music? >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh! I've read about this “music” of yours, though I'm afraid I can't make heads nor tails of the notation. Do you really think I could learn how to create something so inscrutable?

'''Knockingway:''' What are you two up to?

'''Dreamingway:''' [Forename] was just suggesting that I put the “dream” in “Dreamingway” through the pursuit of music!

'''Knockingway:''' “Music”? I can't say I'm familiar.

'''Dreamingway:''' Yes, we Loporrits can do something similar! A whole lung...nose...face...thing...
'''Dreamingway:''' Look, let's just try it and see how it sounds. Come on, Knockingway!
'''Dreamingway:''' One, two, three!
'''Dreamingway:''' Goodness, that's terribly fun!

'''Knockingway:''' I must confess, humming in tandem has a certain charm that snorting or shrieking does not. I'd be interested in more such “music,” I daresay!

'''Dreamingway:''' Then that will be my dream─bringing joy to others through music!
'''Dreamingway:''' Who knows...perhaps I can inspire others to pursue their own dreams, too.

'''Thinkingway:''' What were those noises? What's this all about?

'''Dreamingway:''' Why, the gift of music, of course! Like this...

====Cutscene====
'''Dreamingway:''' I...I think that might be enough musicking for one day...
'''Dreamingway:''' I don't know how I'll ever thank you, [Forename]. You've changed my life!
'''Dreamingway:''' Finally, I can hold my head high, knowing that my heart will guide my way forward.
'''Dreamingway:''' Dreamingway has a dream!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' At long last, I'm living my dream! I hope that someday I can repay your kindness.

===Speak with [[Knockingway]]===
'''Knockingway:''' I cannot thank you enough for helping my dear friend.
'''Knockingway:''' I hadn't realized he was so upset over not having a dream, of all things...
'''Knockingway:''' You helped him as only a person of Etheirys could.

'''Dreamingway:''' I still have my other tasks to attend to, of course, but I promise to practice every day.
'''Dreamingway:''' Eventually, I want to go beyond just humming, and compose original music!
'''Dreamingway:''' When next we meet, I hope you'll once again lend me an ear. Maybe even two!

*Dreamingway is eager to set about his next task─whatever it may be.

*Dreamingway's next assignment is to repair a caretaker, and for that, he requires spare parts from Heimdall's Last Sight. He rushes off without a second thought─leaving you to give chase lest you lose him entirely.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*You catch up to Dreamingway, who had gotten so far ahead of you that he worried you decided not to come. He has apparently learned absolutely nothing from this experience, as he then dashes off excitedly once more.

*When at last you reach Heimdall's Last Sight, Dreamingway says that he can salvage the parts from the crashed Allagan vessel on his own. He insists you relax and enjoy the view while he sets about his task.

*Whilst waiting, you hear a sudden shriek emanate from the area whence Dreamingway proceeded. You decide you had best check on the Loporrit.

*Your suspicions are confirmed as you find Dreamingway has been set upon by mechanical monstrosities. Steeling yourself, you slay the fiends to rescue your Loporrit companion.

*It transpires that Dreamingway is somewhat shaken, but otherwise none the worse for wear. What's more, he has managed to procure the parts needed to repair the caretaker.

*Dreamingway's work on the caretaker is completed in two shakes of a Loporrit's tail. Though he does not feel hopeful that his true calling involves the maintenance of machinery, there is still one job of his you have yet to see─carrot production.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Thinkingway:''' Thank you again for gathering that sand for Buildingway.

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Dreamingway:''' Let's waste no time in continuing our work, shall we, [Forename]?
'''Dreamingway:''' Thinkingway, have you any other jobs for me?

'''Thinkingway:''' Hmm... I suppose there's a caretaker that wants for repairing.
'''Thinkingway:''' If I recall correctly, the particular parts you need will be over at Heimdall's Last Sight.

'''Dreamingway:''' I'll get right to it!
'''Dreamingway:''' It looks like we're on maintenance duty. Join me at Heimdall's Last Sight as quickly as you can!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' I imagine Dreamingway will be at Heimdall's Last Sight by now. It's not that he's that much faster than the rest of us, but he's impossible to slow down once he sets himself to a task...

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' There you are. I was beginning to worry you'd abandoned our quest!
'''Dreamingway:''' Now, to the Heimdall! Follow me!

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' According to our records, this vessel landed on the moon about five years ago. It's been a wonderful source of spare parts.
'''Dreamingway:''' ...And also of horrible mechanical monsters, but never you mind that.
'''Dreamingway:''' I've been here countless times by now, so you can leave the salvaging to me. Simply relax and enjoy the view!

===Wait at the designated location===
'''???:''' Oh, boil my carrots!

'''System:''' This colorful expletive is followed by the telltale screech of a Loporrit in distress. Perhaps you ought to check on Dreamingway...

===Aid [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Thank heavens you were here! I tried to run, but I tripped... That grey sand is not ''nearly'' as pleasant when it's in my mouth, let me tell you.
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> And here I was hoping to show you what a competent and capable worker I could be on my own...
'''Dreamingway:''' I did manage to get the parts we need, though, so all's well that ends well! Meet me at the Carrotorium, and we'll see if we can't fix that caretaker.

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Dreamingway:''' As you can see, this is the caretaker that needs our attentions.
'''Dreamingway:''' The poor thing's not even able to move right now─but it'll be good as new once I'm done with it!
'''Dreamingway:''' Shift this over there... Stick the thingamabob in the whatsit, and...
'''Dreamingway:''' Restored to pristine condition in no time at all!
'''Dreamingway:''' Most Loporrits know enough to make similar repairs, though. It's really nothing special...
'''Dreamingway:''' And I cannot even imagine how one would go about building such a machine from scratch. No, something tells me my dream lies elsewhere.
'''Dreamingway:''' I suppose that's more than we had to go on before, though. Not to mention that there's still one job of mine that I haven't shown you yet! Would you care to see how we grow carrots?
'''Dreamingway:''' Well, then, let's hop to it!

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Dreamingway:''' My warmest and fuzziest thanks for your continued help, [Forename]! I was thinking─if the other Loporrits can't tell you what I might be best at, perhaps you could follow me around and see for yourself.
'''Dreamingway:''' My primary work includes gathering materials, equipment maintenance, and─most importantly─carrot production! All indispensable to our day-to-day operations, as I'm sure you agree.
'''Dreamingway:''' As for what to show you... Perhaps a spot of foraging? Everyone likes a good forage!
'''Dreamingway:''' We'll need to go and see Thinkingway in Greatest Endsvale first─they're the Loporrit who allocates this sort of work. I'd hate to step on any toes!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' Thinkingway always has some manner of vegetable, mineral, or ooze of indeterminate origin in need of gathering...

===Speak with [[Thinkingway]]===
'''Thinkingway:''' I see you have a rather special companion today, Dreamingway. What's the occasion?

'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, nothing of import! She's simply here to observe me as I go about my day. Speaking of which...are there any tasks in need of doing?

'''Thinkingway:''' As a matter of fact, there are! Buildingway is in need of more crystals. Could you perchance mine some?

'''Dreamingway:''' But of course! I suppose he'll want the usual assortment.
'''Dreamingway:''' Right, then! It's off to Vallis Vulneris. I'll go on ahead and look for a suitable deposit of crystals.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' Might I assist you with something?

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Aha! You found me!
'''Dreamingway:''' Truth be told, while I was waiting I felt an itch to get started, and, er... Before I knew it, I had gathered all the crystals Buildingway will need!
'''Dreamingway:''' I have a feeling he could use some sand as well, though, so why not collect it while we're here? I'm sure one bit of grey sand looks much like the rest to you, but trust me─the grey sand here is the ''best''.
'''Dreamingway:''' It's simple enough work, so would you care to join me?
'''Dreamingway:''' Splendid! I'll let you have the deposits right outside the grot─those are always so delightfully gritty. Return here when you've filled a bag or two!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Dreamingway:''' If you get confused, just think, “Is it grey? Is it sand?” That will carry you through!

===Deliver the [[Grey Sand|grey sand]] to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' How was the sand?
'''Dreamingway:''' Lovely as ever! Buildingway will be delighted.
'''Dreamingway:''' We should make our delivery to Thinkingway as soon as possible. Last one there's a moldy carrot!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' Reporting in is an important part of my duties. You should try it!

===Report to [[Thinkingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Thinkingway:''' Ah, that was efficient. Did you manage to procure what I asked for?

'''Dreamingway:''' And more! I thought that Buildingway might want some of that oh-so-sandy Vallis Vulneris sand, so we went ahead and gathered that too.

'''Thinkingway:''' Now that you mention it, he did ask me to procure some grey sand... Heavens, it would have been embarrassing if I turned up without a grain!

'''Dreamingway:''' Do you remember what he needed it for?

'''Thinkingway:''' I vaguely recall mention of a pit full of the stuff... Apparently the children of Etheirys enjoy such things.
'''Thinkingway:''' I'm more curious about how ''you'' were aware of this request. Buildingway said he hadn't told anyone but me about his latest project.

'''Dreamingway:''' Well...I must have overheard you two talking when I was out collecting crystals last time.

'''Thinkingway:''' Given how far the grot is from here, that seems incredibly unlikely...
'''Thinkingway:''' But never mind that. You brought the sand, and for that I'm most grateful.

'''Dreamingway:''' See what I mean? That's some good sand!
'''Dreamingway:''' Ahem. Now, while enjoying this tiny glimpse of my day-to-day life, did you find any dreams I might be capable of aspiring to?
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, don't worry if you haven't! We've only just begun, after all.
'''Dreamingway:''' I really must learn to be patient. Surely the right inspiration is out there, just waiting to strike!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' Thank you again for gathering that sand for Buildingway.

'''Dreamingway:''' Truth be told, while I was waiting I felt an itch to get started, and, er... Before I knew it, I had gathered all the crystals Buildingway will need!
'''Dreamingway:''' I have a feeling he could use some sand as well, though, so why not collect it while we're here? I'm sure one bit of grey sand looks much like the rest to you, but trust me─the grey sand here is the ''best''.
'''Dreamingway:''' It's simple enough work, so would you care to join me?
'''Dreamingway:''' Splendid! I'll let you have the deposits right outside the grot─those are always so delightfully gritty. Return here when you've filled a bag or two!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Dreamingway:''' If you get confused, just think, “Is it grey? Is it sand?” That will carry you through!

===Deliver the [[Grey Sand|grey sand]] to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' How was the sand?
'''Dreamingway:''' Lovely as ever! Buildingway will be delighted.
'''Dreamingway:''' We should make our delivery to Thinkingway as soon as possible. Last one there's a moldy carrot!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Dreamingway:''' Reporting in is an important part of my duties. You should try it!

===Report to [[Thinkingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Thinkingway:''' Ah, that was efficient. Did you manage to procure what I asked for?

'''Dreamingway:''' And more! I thought that Buildingway might want some of that oh-so-sandy Vallis Vulneris sand, so we went ahead and gathered that too.

'''Thinkingway:''' Now that you mention it, he did ask me to procure some grey sand... Heavens, it would have been embarrassing if I turned up without a grain!

'''Dreamingway:''' Do you remember what he needed it for?

'''Thinkingway:''' I vaguely recall mention of a pit full of the stuff... Apparently the children of Etheirys enjoy such things.
'''Thinkingway:''' I'm more curious about how ''you'' were aware of this request. Buildingway said he hadn't told anyone but me about his latest project.

'''Dreamingway:''' Well...I must have overheard you two talking when I was out collecting crystals last time.

'''Thinkingway:''' Given how far the grot is from here, that seems incredibly unlikely...
'''Thinkingway:''' But never mind that. You brought the sand, and for that I'm most grateful.

'''Dreamingway:''' See what I mean? That's some good sand!
'''Dreamingway:''' Ahem. Now, while enjoying this tiny glimpse of my day-to-day life, did you find any dreams I might be capable of aspiring to?
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh, don't worry if you haven't! We've only just begun, after all.
'''Dreamingway:''' I really must learn to be patient. Surely the right inspiration is out there, just waiting to strike!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Thinkingway:''' Thank you again for gathering that sand for Buildingway.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Dreamingway]].
*Speak with [[Dreamingway]]'s acquaintances. 0/3
*Report to [[Dreamingway]].

==Journal==
*Knockingway would like you to call upon a friend.

*Knockingway explains that their friend, Dreamingway, has not been at his best since awakening from hibernation. As they believe the forlorn Loporrit would be more likely to open up to a representative of Etheirys, you agree to go and ask him what is wrong.
**※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

*Upon introducing yourself to Dreamingway, you learn that his name is the cause of his concern. Inspired by the people of Etheirys, he aspires to achieve a dream of his own─yet has no idea what he should pursue. Perhaps, as he hopes, the other Loporrits will be able to point you in the right direction.

*You speak with Dreamingway's acquaintances, and though they have only praise for their fellow Loporrit, none can say what he might be particularly suited to. Though he will doubtless be disappointed, Dreamingway would want to know that you must pursue other avenues.

*Dreamingway is disheartened, though unsurprised, by his fellow Loporrits' responses. You are loath to let him give up hope so soon, however, and encourage him to continue searching. With your help, he might yet find meaning in his name.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Knockingway:''' Hail, person! Yes, you! Do you have a moment?
'''Knockingway:''' You see, ever since we awoke for inspection, a friend of mine has been acting a little funny. Funnier than usual, even! I can hear him sighing from all the way over here.
'''Knockingway:''' I would go and call on him─as I do─but he always insists that nothing's wrong...
'''Knockingway:''' I think he'd be unable to help himself from opening up to you, though. He has always been ever so fond of people. Would you mind lending him an ear or two?
'''Knockingway:''' Many thanks to you! My friend's name is “Dreamingway,” and he should be somewhere nearby─just follow the lamentatious snuffling.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Knockingway:''' I'm fairly certain I hear sounds of distress emanating from the eastern quadrant...

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]] (Cutscene)===
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> ...Stay focused, Dreamingway! Sure, you're no Workingway, but...
'''Dreamingway:''' Oh! Oh my.
'''Dreamingway:''' You're not a Loporrit...
'''Dreamingway:''' Am I dreaming? Is the day finally here? Am I truly talking with a visitor from Etheirys!?
'''Dreamingway:''' Wh-Whatever can I help you with, kind madam?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< One of your friends asked me to check on you. >'''
''''''

'''''< One of your friends asked me to check on you. >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' Wh-Who put you up to such a thing!?

''''''''''
'''Dreamingway:''' H-How did you know!?

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' ...I-In any case, I couldn't bother an honored guest with my silly troubles.
'''Dreamingway:''' If you insist... Perhaps I could share a nibble of what's on my mind.
'''Dreamingway:''' Ah, but first─may I ask your name?
'''Dreamingway:''' [Forename] [Surname]? A truly spectacular name! I'm sure it speaks to your character, in one way or another...
'''Dreamingway:''' <sigh> If only I could say the same for mine...
'''Dreamingway:''' Perhaps it was a mistake to choose “dream” from that tome of words, for try as I might, I have no such thing! And seeing everyone else live up to their names since our awakening has only made me more aware of it.
'''Dreamingway:''' The people of Etheirys, on the other paw, seem to dream a great deal. Have you any advice for me?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Focus on what you love to do. >'''
'''< Focus on what you're good at. >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' B-But that's the problem─I haven't the foggiest idea what that would be!
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Though my fellow Loporrits might. I've known them since...well, since we were created, so perhaps they see something in me that I cannot.
'''Dreamingway:''' With their help, you must be able to find an objectively appropriate dream for me to pursue! You know best what would be of service to mankind, after all.
'''Dreamingway:''' I'm all ears, so you need only tell me once you've come up with something─anything at all!

'''(Optional)'''
'''Dreamingway:''' I hope the others have something to say about me...

===Speak with [[Dreamingway]]'s acquaintances===
'''Cheerful Loporrit:''' Hmm... He's no sluggard, I can tell you that! Always happy to lend a paw when there's work to be done.
'''Cheerful Loporrit:''' Compared to some of the others... Well, let's just say that he's a great help!
'''(Optional)'''
'''Cheerful Loporrit:''' Dreamingway has never been one to stand about twiddling his paws! Unlike some...

'''Stern Loporrit:''' You want to know about Dreamingway?
'''Stern Loporrit:''' I can't say I know him terribly well─he's always rushing off on a new task just as soon as he finishes the old one. I've always thought him a good sort, though.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Stern Loporrit:''' Dreamingway is always there when I need him─and always rushing off to the next thing that catches his eye when I don't.

'''Easygoing Loporrit:''' Dreamingway? He can do anything he sets his mind to. He doesn't complain about getting his paws dirty, either!
'''Easygoing Loporrit:''' That said, I'm not sure I can think of anything he's ''particularly'' gifted at...
'''(Optional)'''
'''Easygoing Loporrit:''' I doubt there's anything he ''can't'' do, really.

===Report to [[Dreamingway]]===
'''Dreamingway:''' Did they have aught of interest to share? Please say they did...
'''Dreamingway:''' ...That's more or less what I expected, I suppose. “Nice enough, but in no way gifted.” <sigh>
'''Dreamingway:''' Perhaps I was never meant to dream...

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< It's never too late to dream! >'''
'''< Don't worry─we'll find your dream yet. >'''

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Dreamingway:''' Y-You really think so? Goodness, people are truly as kind as they say...
'''Dreamingway:''' In that case, I promise not to give up until we've found my dream! Even if it's the last thing I do...
'''Dreamingway:''' ...Huh, that got grim. Let's exhaust our other options before we go for anything potentially lethal, shall we?

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I hear you have a penchant for excitement and adventure, is that correct?
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Then I assume in your travels you have doubtless heard tales of the Allagans.

'''< The Allagans? Don't get me started. >'''
'''< Yes, and nearly everything wrong with the world seems to be their fault. >'''

'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I thought as much.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I ask because I have plans to survey an Allagan relic not far from here. The weapons guarding it, however, make it too dangerous for me to go alone.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' I trust you see where this is going. So, are you interested in a little adventure?
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Much obliged. Now, let's be off. No time to waste.

===Speak with the [[brusque Loporrit]]===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' The crash site is just ahead. If you find anything that may prove useful, I'd be grateful if you could retrieve it for me.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Large, isn't it? I wonder what secrets it holds...

===Investigate the Allagan relic===
'''System:''' This bit of Allagan technology is certainly fascinating. A shame it's too bulky to carry back...

'''System:''' This apparatus is offline, but appears to be transportable. You place it in your ambiguously sized bag...

===Speak with the [[brusque Loporrit]]===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Phew. A moment longer and that drone would have alerted more...
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Now, did you find anything of interest?
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Oh? Let me have a look...
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' No, you're right. It must wait until we get back.

===Deliver the [[Systems Cube|systems cube]] to the [[brusque Loporrit]]===
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Safe at last. Now, show me what you found.
''(Hand over Systems Cube)''
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' This... This is an Allagan decryption unit.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' With it, we could read Allagan tomestones about history, science, poetry... If we had any, which we do not. An adventure for another day, I suppose.
'''Brusque Loporrit:''' Nevertheless, I'm deeply excited by the prospect─as I'm sure you can tell. You have my heartfelt gratitude.

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': You're that visitor everyone's been talking about. I don't suppose you have time to assist me in a matter of life and death?

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Four of my friends went out to patrol the moon and mine for ore. They should be back by now, but... Well, I'm worried something happened!

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': I can't say I'm too keen on the idea of coming face-to-facelike-growth with one of those roving fungi by myself, though. Could you come along? Please come along...

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Thank you! Let's hop to it, then. My friends were headed toward the Chlorophosgrot.

===On the moon's surface===

(Optional) '''Sprightly Loporrit''': Sweet Mother Hydaelyn! I hope they're all right...

'''Reeling Loporrit''': ...Guh? Wha? Why are you...?

'''Reeling Loporrit''': I-I'm not slacking! I, erm...passed out after a weeper ambushed me. Yes, that's definitely what happened.

'''Reeling Loporrit''': If you're looking for the others, they went ahead to survey the Chlorophosgrot and the area around the Cradle of Darkness. I'd get them myself, but I'm much too laz -- er, that is, exhausted from my encounter with the weeper.

(Optional) '''Reeling Loporrit''': The others are either there in the Chlorophosgrot or near the Cradle of Darkness... I'm sure they're fine, though. They're nowhere near as, uh...exhausted...as I am.

(Optional) '''Sprightly Loporrit''': ...Do you hear intermittent snoring?

'''Sleepy Loporrit''': Mining makes me so...so sleepy. Must...stay...awake...

'''Sleepy Loporrit''': ...Hmmm? Oh, is it time to go back already? I hardly got anything done. Oh well!

'''Preoccupied Loporrit''': I'm sure this plant wasn't here last time... Well, would you look at that, it's made my paw all tingly. Numb, even... Surely there's some use for this!

'''Preoccupied Loporrit''': Goodness me! Time to head back, is it? I was so focused, I completely lost track of time.

'''Dozing Loporrit''': This hole sure is deep. Drop a rock in there, and you'll never hear it hit the bottom...

'''Dozing Loporrit''': Oh, it's you! Is something the matter?

'''Dozing Loporrit''': Eep! Sorry for the bother -- I didn't realize I'd been gone so long. I'll head back right away.

(Optional) '''Dozing Loporrit''': How far down could that hole go, I wonder?

(Optional) '''Preoccupied Loporrit''': I can't feel my arm now. But it still moves, so it's fine, right? ...Right?

(Optional) '''Sleepy Loporrit''': <yawn> Maybe I'll get some proper mining done next time.

'''Reeling Loporrit''': I feel much better after that brief and totally regulation-compliant break. Let's head back and sift through the spoils of our expedition!

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': I hope they don't think you're impressed by their shenanigans... <sigh> Honestly!

===At Bestways Burrow===

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Thanks again for helping me round everyone up. I'm glad no one was hurt...

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': They were lucky this time, but with those fungi and other odd creatures out there, I think we'll have to reconsider our patrol routes from now on. For a mercy, there are plenty of places to mine for ore nearby.

'''Sprightly Loporrit''': Before you go, I'd like you to have this. Don't be a stranger!

*Growingway is keen to put his recent mishap behind him.

==Dialogue==
'''Growingway:''' It may not seem like it, but we've been planning for this far longer than I'd care to admit.
'''Growingway:''' Each time we woke up, we'd have long discussions about how to save as many of you as we can. Felt like everyone had an opinion on this or that.
'''Growingway:''' But the one thing we all agreed upon was that the people of Etheirys wouldn't take action to save themselves until it was far too late.
'''Growingway:''' That's why we're striving to make the moon a vibrant, magical place they'd hop at the chance to visit, rather than waiting for the flames of oblivion to get them off their tails and force them to accept our invitation.
'''Growingway:''' The residential quarters may not be up to the necessary standards just yet, but there are plenty of other places worth seeing!
'''Growingway:''' You've already had a look around the Carrotorium, but wait until you see what's waiting for you at the east end of the burrow. Follow me!

===Speak with Growingway.===
'''Growingway:''' Good, you're here. Through this door is Greatest Endsvale!
'''Growingway:''' It was named as such because it's the vale to end all vales. The most beautiful forest you'll ever see.
'''Growingway:''' We understand the people of Etheirys enjoy taking leisurely walks through “natural spaces” and the like, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
'''Growingway:''' How about we start with a nice stroll to the fountain? This way!

===Speak with Growingway again.===
'''Growingway:''' So, what did you think of the forest? Isn't it positively pleasant? Simply sublime?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I couldn't see the forest ''or'' the trees...
'''Growingway:''' You're pulling my tail! We're in the forest right now!
> I didn't see any - wait. You don't mean those crystals out there are...
'''Growingway:''' Right you are! Our forest is made of crystals and constructs, dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see.
> 'Tis as transcendent as burying your face in a chocobo's plumage and take a good, long whiff!
'''Growingway:''' You really think so? Truly?
'''Growingway:''' Hearing you say that means more to me than you know. Personally, I'd say this place is the pride of the burrow.

'''Growingway:''' Building this place was a challenge, let me tell you. Since we were born here, we've never seen trees in person before, let alone a forest.
'''Growingway:''' The information sent by our collaborators was quite enlightening, but after much deliberation, we decided to use crystalline constructs in place of living trees.
'''Growingway:''' And thanks to our atmospheric circulation system, this place produces air as clean as that you'd find in a forest on Etheirys!
'''Growingway:''' The fountain here behind us, powered by the rather large crystal adorning its top, plays a vital role in supplying us with fresh water.
'''Growingway:''' Much time and effort was spent making it the most spherical of spheres, and I daresay the unparalleled roundness speaks for itself.
'''Growingway:''' I enjoy nothing more than a nice, long '''stretch''' and a spot of relaxation whenever I come up here. You look like you could do with a stretch yourself.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Growingway:''' Feeling tense, [Forename]? Why not stretch and relax?

'''System:''' Growingway looks at you expectantly. Perhaps it would be best to oblige him with a quick '''''stretch'''''.

===Do a nice, big /stretch near Growingway. ===
'''Growingway:''' That's the spirit! I feel more relaxed simply watching you.
'''Growingway:''' A sight worth the many years spent building this place.
'''Growingway:''' If it's not too much to ask... It's always been a dream of mine to take a walk through this forest with someone from Etheirys. Could we maybe...?

===Speak with Growingway and have him accompany you.===
'''Growingway:''' <gasp> You will!? Oh, be still my quivering whiskers!

> Speak with Growingway
'''Growingway:''' Ahhh... Nothing like a relaxing stroll to forget one's worries, eh?

'''Conversation Point:''' ''At Greatest Endsvale'' (X:32.0, Y:11.5)
> Ask if you can taste the rainbow... crystal.
'''Growingway:''' What...? N-No! I'm not sure what it is you do with crystals on Etheirys, but we don't ''eat'' them ─ and certainly not this one. It's possessed of all six elements─wind, lightning, fire, earth, ice, and water. We use crystals like these to maintain the moon's elemental equilibrium.
'''Growingway:''' It's worth mentioning, though, that because of Hydaelyn's influence ─ being the embodiment of tranquility and stasis and all ─ manipulating the elements here is different than it might be on Etheirys.
'''Growingway:''' A conjuring of fire would sooner dry your clothes than singe them, for example. Put simply, the aetheric conditions are ill-suited to growth, which is why the surface is mostly barren.
'''Growingway:''' Of course, this was all necessary to keep the raging energies of Zodiark in check.

===Accompany Growingway to the designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' I was thinking, [Forename]...that I could be more helpful to you by teaching you a little about the moon and what it is we do.
'''Growingway:''' When we were first created, the moon's sole purpose was to hold Zodiark, and there was absolutely ''nothing'' to be found here.
'''Growingway:''' Eventually, Hydaelyn gave us our first task: furnish the moon with propulsion systems capable of facilitating travel to other stars.
'''Growingway:''' It sounds impressive, and I suppose in some respects it is, but it was only possible thanks to all the knowledge Hydaelyn shared with us. We also had a ''lot'' of time to get it done. Six thousand years, give or take.
'''Growingway:''' But anyway, let's keep going.

===Accompany Growingway to the second designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' This may come as a surprise, but we didn't begin building the habitable areas until after the propulsion systems were ready.
'''Growingway:''' Considering how long it took, I wish we'd started sooner. Who would've thought we'd need four thousand years to make all this?
'''Growingway:''' It certainly wasn't work you dare rush, either. We had to create infrastructure and countless supporting systems, some of which wouldn't be operational until hundreds of years later.
'''Growingway:''' And then there was that brief period where our productivity came to a screeching halt ─ when that bizarre red satellite was sent up from Etheirys. The Allagans' mischief, I think.
'''Growingway:''' We thought maybe some new, nefarious actor was colluding with Zodiark. All we could do was stand by and brace ourselves for the worst.
'''Growingway:''' I can't tell you how relieved we were when Hydaelyn informed us of its destruction. Oh yes, there was much joyous humming that day.

===Accompany Growingway to the third designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' Say, do you notice anything peculiar about the treetops? I mean, apart from the fact they're massive crystals, and not trees.
'''Growingway:''' I'll give you a hint: it's the golden rings emanating from the glowing spheres.
'''Growingway:''' Along with the device fixed near the ceiling, they fulfill a role similar to our sun ─ and do so better, even.
'''Growingway:''' The sun and similar celestial objects in the great expanse radiate energy that is harmful to your bodies. These rings shield you from that energy while allowing you to bathe in the perfect amount of sunlight. Or rather, a close approximation of it.
'''Growingway:''' Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say? Oh, and if you look closely, you'll see different types of “trees” have ever-so-slightly different curvature! Yes indeed, this forest truly is the greatest.

===Accompany Growingway to the fourth designated location and then speak with him.===
'''Growingway:''' There was something else I wanted to tell you about. Uh... Oh, right.
'''Growingway:''' The propulsion systems and habitat facilities were completed around two thousand years ago, and with that, the most important features were fit for purpose.
'''Growingway:''' Which was all well and good, except we still knew absolutely nothing about the present-day people of Etheirys.
'''Growingway:''' “Why not go and visit Etheirys yourself?” you might ask. Strictly forbidden. Were our technology or knowledge of the moon's true purpose exploited for evil ends...the results could be disastrous.
'''Growingway:''' Then there were a few more Rejoinings, and it became increasingly difficult to converse with Hydaelyn.
'''Growingway:''' Fearful we might lose the ability to communicate with Her altogether, we beseeched Her to find people on Etheirys we could trust to help.
'''Growingway:''' We were quite fortunate everything worked out as it did.

===Accompany Growingway to the fifth designated location and then speak with him. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' With the exception of routine inspections and maintenance, we remained asleep and waited, hopeful Hydaelyn would find someone who would help us.
'''Growingway:''' Eventually She did, and though Her power was waning, we were able to speak to them directly for a short while.
'''Growingway:''' We shared with them everything we could, including our knowledge of the heavens, and a means to travel here to the moon.
'''Growingway:''' They certainly didn't waste any time with what we taught them. No more than a few years after that, our collaborators found a means to convey messages and supplies to us from down below.
'''Growingway:''' With all the letters, books, and other resources they sent, we learned enough to start making more meaningful changes to the moon.
'''Growingway:''' And now you're here, hopefully enjoying yourself as much as I am!
'''Growingway:''' I knew you would like Greatest Endsvale, I knew it!
'''Growingway:''' Thank you again for coming here, by the way. I know it was just a walk through the forest, but it meant a lot to me.
'''Y'shtola:''' There you are.
'''Y'shtola:''' I take it you've already received the grand tour? A shame we missed it.
'''???:''' Growingway! I've been looking all over for you!
'''Growingway:''' Oh! I, uh... Is this about the teleporter to the residential area?
'''Livingway:''' No, never mind that. We have more pressing matters at hand.
'''Livingway:''' I will be calling an emergency meeting shortly, and your attendance is required.
'''Growingway:''' Really...? I can't imagine why you'd need me there, but if you insist.
'''Livingway:''' We won't be away long, so you all are more than welcome to continue looking about the burrow. Now, come along, Growingway.
'''Y'shtola:''' Before we arrived, you seemed to be in the midst of a rousing conversation with your guide. Did you learn anything of import?
'''Thancred:''' They've spent twelve ''thousand'' years preparing for this?
'''Thancred:''' With the appointed hour fast approaching, I can certainly understand their restlessness. But still...
'''Y'shtola:''' It remains to be seen if the people can be persuaded to evacuate when there are yet no signs of the Final Days.
'''Y'shtola:''' What's more, the technology of this place defies imagination. I doubt there are many who would readily come to terms with living in such surroundings.
'''Thancred:''' Whoever these collaborators are, unless they are possessed of the world's most charming personalities or a means to forcibly evacuate people, they will meet with a great deal of resistance.
'''Y'shtola:''' Indeed. Even if faced with annihilation, the decision to forsake all one knows cannot be made lightly.
'''Urianger:''' Forgive me, friends, but I must beg your leave. There is another matter which yet begs for mine attention.
'''Thancred:''' Of course. We can accompany you if you like.
'''Urianger:''' Nay, that will not be necessary. If you will excuse me.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Thancred:''' Huh... What do you suppose has suddenly tickled his fancy?

===Speak with Y'shtola.===
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis clear now that difficult decisions lie ahead of us.
'''Y'shtola:''' Preparation for the evacuation of Etheirys is indeed crucial, but I am not yet willing to forsake our world and its reflections ─ and I trust I am not alone in my reticence.

==Journal==
*Growingway is keen to put his recent mishap behind him.

==Dialogue==
'''Growingway:''' It may not seem like it, but we've been planning for this far longer than I'd care to admit.
'''Growingway:''' Each time we woke up, we'd have long discussions about how to save as many of you as we can. Felt like everyone had an opinion on this or that.
'''Growingway:''' But the one thing we all agreed upon was that the people of Etheirys wouldn't take action to save themselves until it was far too late.
'''Growingway:''' That's why we're striving to make the moon a vibrant, magical place they'd hop at the chance to visit, rather than waiting for the flames of oblivion to get them off their tails and force them to accept our invitation.
'''Growingway:''' The residential quarters may not be up to the necessary standards just yet, but there are plenty of other places worth seeing!
'''Growingway:''' You've already had a look around the Carrotorium, but wait until you see what's waiting for you at the east end of the burrow. Follow me!

===Speak with Growingway.===
'''Growingway:''' Good, you're here. Through this door is Greatest Endsvale!
'''Growingway:''' It was named as such because it's the vale to end all vales. The most beautiful forest you'll ever see.
'''Growingway:''' We understand the people of Etheirys enjoy taking leisurely walks through “natural spaces” and the like, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
'''Growingway:''' How about we start with a nice stroll to the fountain? This way!

===Speak with Growingway again.===
'''Growingway:''' So, what did you think of the forest? Isn't it positively pleasant? Simply sublime?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> I couldn't see the forest ''or'' the trees...
'''Growingway:''' You're pulling my tail! We're in the forest right now!
> I didn't see any - wait. You don't mean those crystals out there are...
'''Growingway:''' Right you are! Our forest is made of crystals and constructs, dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see.
> 'Tis as transcendent as burying your face in a chocobo's plumage and take a good, long whiff!
'''Growingway:''' You really think so? Truly?
'''Growingway:''' Hearing you say that means more to me than you know. Personally, I'd say this place is the pride of the burrow.

'''Growingway:''' Building this place was a challenge, let me tell you. Since we were born here, we've never seen trees in person before, let alone a forest.
'''Growingway:''' The information sent by our collaborators was quite enlightening, but after much deliberation, we decided to use crystalline constructs in place of living trees.
'''Growingway:''' And thanks to our atmospheric circulation system, this place produces air as clean as that you'd find in a forest on Etheirys!
'''Growingway:''' The fountain here behind us, powered by the rather large crystal adorning its top, plays a vital role in supplying us with fresh water.
'''Growingway:''' Much time and effort was spent making it the most spherical of spheres, and I daresay the unparalleled roundness speaks for itself.
'''Growingway:''' I enjoy nothing more than a nice, long '''stretch''' and a spot of relaxation whenever I come up here. You look like you could do with a stretch yourself.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Growingway:''' Feeling tense, [Forename]? Why not stretch and relax?

'''System:''' Growingway looks at you expectantly. Perhaps it would be best to oblige him with a quick '''''stretch'''''.

===Do a nice, big /stretch near Growingway. ===
'''Growingway:''' That's the spirit! I feel more relaxed simply watching you.
'''Growingway:''' A sight worth the many years spent building this place.
'''Growingway:''' If it's not too much to ask... It's always been a dream of mine to take a walk through this forest with someone from Etheirys. Could we maybe...?

===Speak with Growingway and have him accompany you.===
'''Growingway:''' <gasp> You will!? Oh, be still my quivering whiskers!

> Speak with Growingway
'''Growingway:''' Ahhh... Nothing like a relaxing stroll to forget one's worries, eh?

'''Conversation Point:''' ''At Greatest Endsvale'' (X:32.0, Y:11.5)
> Ask if you can taste the rainbow... crystal.
'''Growingway:''' What...? N-No! I'm not sure what it is you do with crystals on Etheirys, but we don't ''eat'' them ─ and certainly not this one.

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Watchingway:''' Excuse me, miss─have you by chance seen any thieves prowling about with ill-gotten iron carrots? They're crimson, tender, surprisingly heavy...the carrots, that is, not the thieves.
'''Watchingway:''' If you haven't seen them yet, I'm sure you will! We've been told that you “adventurers” are quite good at solving crimes that no one else can be bothered with.
'''Watchingway:''' Wonderful! I'm relying on you to solve our carrot caper. Honestly, what manner of fiend would deny a Loporrit their dinner...
'''Watchingway:''' Ahem. Anyway, our culprit─or culprits─took four carrots in all. Those are not easy to carry about, so I daresay they can't have gotten far!

'''Muttering Loporrit:''' What? No, of course I'm not stealing! These are mine. Is it so wrong to enjoy an early dinner?

'''System:''' The muttering Loporrit stomps off in search of a place to eat in peace. You suspect this is not your carrot culprit.

'''System:''' This scrumptious-looking iron carrot has been tragically abandoned in its prime.

===Report to [[Watchingway]]===
'''Watchingway:''' You're back! Please tell me you found the carrots.
'''Watchingway:''' The supporter? I never would have suspected... It's supposed to help us farm carrots, not eat them!
'''Watchingway:''' Hmm... I recall the technicians said something about enhancing its code with a love for carrots to increase work efficiency. But to go so far as to steal carrots for itself, I fear it may now love them a little ''too'' much...
'''Watchingway:''' Alas, those poor carrots! But at least we know what became of them, and how to prevent this happening again. Thank you for your assistance!

'''Watchingway:''' I've been watching you, and you look like you could use some extra vim and vigor. Could I interest you in an iron carrot?

''The following is transcribed from the [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/838700e2a67cdfd80820e9f0d6cde8d1c24ead80 Patch 7.4 Notes]:''

===Mouse and Keyboard===
Drag and drop your desired action or command to your desired slot in the Command Panel.

===Gamepad===
Open the Hotbar Palette, then select Assign to Command Panel.

Registered actions and commands can be moved or removed from the Command Panel using the subcommand menu.

==Using the Command Panel==
===Mouse and Keyboard===
Actions and commands assigned to the panel can be clicked directly with your mouse. Individual command panel slots cannot be keybound.

===Gamepad===
Use the directional buttons to select your desired command or action, and press the A (X) button to execute it. You can hold the Y (△) button to move the cursor two slots, allowing for swift navigation.

You can assign the Command Panel to left thumb-click (L3) or right thumb-click (R3) via Gamepad Customization (Controller Customization) under the Gamepad Settings (Controller Settings) tab of the System Configuration menu.

==Command Panel Settings==
You can access Command Panel settings and the four panel-specific shortcuts by selecting the gear icon at the top right of the panel, or via the panel subcommand menu.

Command panel shortcut icons can be chosen by selecting Set as Command Panel Icon from the subcommand menu of an action or command, thereby registering its graphic as the shortcut icon for the corresponding panel.

[[File:Command Panel 3.png]]

==Assigning Custom Icon to individual Command Panel Shortcut==
From inside Command Panel Settings, you have 4 individual Command Panel Shortcuts (labeled 1 to 4), which you can drop and place on your regular hotbars. Each shortcut will open a particular command panel tab.

To assign a custom icon to command panel shortcut, you need to first place an item or action or anything into a command panel tab from which you want to "borrow" an icon from. Then right-click on said item/action/anything, and select '''Set as Command Panel Icon''' from dropdown menu. You may now remove the item/action/anything from command panel tab; the icon assignment will persist indefinitely.

As of initial release of this feature, you '''cannot''' assign an icon that was set on user macro as command panel icon. When placing user macro with custom icon into command panel and trying to set its icon as command panel icon, you get an error. It is unknown if it is a bug, or desired outcome.

{{Quotation|[https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_4/ Patch 7.4 Site]|Job actions, emotes, macros: all kinds of actions can be assigned to the command panel as icons. It's ideal for those things you want to keep close at hand, but don't need on your HUD, whether that's your favorite mounts, gear sets, or emotes that only see occasional use.

==Journal==
*The vacillating Loporrit is in need of help.

==Dialogue==
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Weavingway:''' What do you think of our clothing? I'll have you know I'm the mastermind behind its design!

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Oh! It's you! Uh... If it's not too much trouble, I could really use your help!
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' We've been making clothes for your people, but after speaking with Livingway, I realized we've made a grave mistake!
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Considerable alterations must be made to our plans, and I was hoping you might join me to speak with the Loporrit in charge of garment adjustments.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Thank you! They're not going to be happy about this...

====Optional Dialogue, at upper levels====
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' I'm telling you, we're doing it all wrong! We have to fix these clothes before it's too late!

===Speak with the Loporrit tailor===
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' How are we supposed to resize everything when we don't even know what to base the alterations on?
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Oh! You must be the model, then. I see... You really are like a baby carrot.

'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Perhaps an explanation is in order... You see, we'd like you to help us redefine the style of the clothing we create.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' We believe comfort and familiarity are key to accommodating the people of Etheirys...which is why we thought masks and all-purpose robes would suffice.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' When Livingway claimed the fashion trends of Etheirys are far removed from what we were anticipating, I was incredulous, but meeting you made everything painfully clear!

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Indeed. I see now that our plans won't do. Your garments are so vibrant and...unique.
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' We still need to decide what adjustments to make, so would you please stay a while?
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Thank you. Now, be a dear and strike a '''''pose''''' for me, will you? I want to get an idea of how the fabric moves with you.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' If you could '''''pose''''' for me, that would be a great help.

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' No need to be shy. There's no one watching but the two of us. Go ahead and give us a '''''pose'''''.

'''System:''' The Loporrit tailor watches you intently. Strike a '''''pose''''' to show off your garb.

===[[Pose|/pose]] for the Loporrit tailor===
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Yes, just like that! Hmm... I see. May I ask why you chose to wear this outfit?

'''< What will you say? >'''
''''''
'''< It's practical. >'''
'''< Not sure ''what'' I was thinking, to be honest. >'''

''''''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' So people find designs like this aesthetically pleasing? I'll have to bear that in mind when I redesign our concepts...

'''< It's practical. >'''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Ah, so it's not only form that appeals to you, but function as well! A practical choice, I suppose, if you're to take to the battlefield...

'''< Not sure ''what'' I was thinking, to be honest. >'''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' What, did you choose it with your eyes closed? Ugh... Well, I suppose it just goes to show how very routine clothing is to you.

'''''< Both >'''''
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Might I see your '''''battle stance''''' next? If the people of Etheirys have need to fight, I'd like to be certain their clothes strike fear in the hearts of their enemies.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' I'm fairly sure that if I were to wander onto a battlefield, I'd be turned into a pelt in no time...

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Would you show me your most valiant '''''battle stance'''''? Your clothes must be stylish, but they must also strike fear into the hearts of your enemies! ...People enjoy that, yes?

'''System:''' The Loporrit tailor watches you intently. Assume a '''''battle stance''''' to show off your garb.

===Assume your [[Battle Stance|/battlestance]] for the Loporrit tailor===
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' Yes... I believe I have a solid grasp of what our designs were lacking before.

'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Truly, I never realized that one's choice of attire could make such an impression!

'''Loporrit Tailor:''' And that ensemble quite befits your personality, I must say.
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' ...Which means we can't just throw the same garb on everyone. What is that saying you have? Ah, yes─“variety is the spice of life”!
'''Loporrit Tailor:''' You have given me so many new ideas, I can hardly wait to get started! In fact, I cannot wait at all!

'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Er... Right, then. Would you care to follow me back to my station?

===Speak with the [[vacillating Loporrit]]===
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' I do believe that we have a much better idea of what we should be making now, and the necessary alterations should prove little trouble.
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' Just you wait─someday soon, the people of Etheirys will be clamoring for the latest fashions from Bestways Burrow!
'''Vacillating Loporrit:''' ...Assuming I get back to work, that is. Thank you for your help!

==Journal==
*Recordingway needs to gather more data.

==Dialogue==

'''Recordingway''': Curses! Insufficient data, even after everything I've done.

'''Recordingway''': You! Livingway told me about you. Would you mind lending me a hand?

'''Recordingway''': As you know, we Loporrits only awakened recently. While we were sleeping, Mare Lamentorum has undergone a number of bewildering changes, one of those being the appearance of strange walking fungi -- thinkers, we call them.

'''Recordingway''': An Allagan vessel crashed here many years ago, you see, and some part of it pierced through the wall of our underground bioplant. I believe the spores from within eventually made their way to the surface of the moon, where they went on to mutate and evolve in our absence.

'''Recordingway''': I mean to study these curious new life-forms, but I need more data before I can draw any real conclusions. Would you be willing to retrieve a sample of fungal filaments for me? Yes, a single sample would more than suffice.

'''Recordingway''': If I remember my culture studies correctly, you will expect some form of payment in exchange for services rendered, yes? Bring me that filament, and I will see you are duly compensated.

'''Recordingway''': I was starting to wonder if the thinkers had done you in. Were you able to retrieve a sample?

'''Recordingway''': Excellent! I'll get to work analyzing it right away.

'''Recordingway''': ...Hm? Why, the structure of this filament is altogether different from the fungi growing in the bioplant.

'''Recordingway''': Mayhap the spores mixed with substances leaked from the Allagan ship. Chimera incubation fluid, perhaps? In any case, this isn't good. Any and all potential threats must be eliminated if we are to make the moon fit for inhabitation.

'''Recordingway''': You have helped with a most important discovery, and for that, you have my thanks. Here -- your reward as promised.

''Optional dialogue''
'''Y'shtola:''' While I'm sure the Loporrits would hop at the chance to expound upon carrots in exhaustive detail, perhaps it's time we moved on?

'''Urianger:''' 'Hmm...

'''Thancred:''' I hate to admit it, but...I did rather like the carrots.

'''Cookingway:''' Hungry for more carrots? Fear not, you can eat to your heart's content after you've seen the rest of Bestways Burrow.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Livingway:''' I think we've had our fill of carrots for now. Let's move on to other necessities, shall we?
'''Livingway:''' Our clothing production is sure to impress. This way!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Urianger:''' Garments born of the heavens, crafted with methods ancient and forgotten. Dress befitting we who walk in shade, stewards of the esoteric...

'''Y'shtola:''' Do you suppose the clothes they prepared will be as grossly oversized as the carrots?

'''Thancred:''' It's hardly Sunsilk Tapestries, but perhaps we'll be pleasantly surprised.

===Speak with Livingway.===
'''Livingway:''' Here we are ─ the apparel production station.
'''Livingway:''' We've chosen to employ more traditional methods for this task ─ creation magicks!
'''Livingway:''' Hydaelyn, in Her infinite wisdom, blessed us with the selfsame affinity for magic Her people possessed. We have other amazing talents, of course ─ and I know you're dying to hear about them ─ but I will regale you with the details another time.
'''Livingway:''' That said, we did run into a spot of trouble at first. Our magic alone was not sufficient to see our work done.
'''Livingway:''' In the end, we discovered crystallized aether was a wonderful catalyst that could provide us with the extra vis we needed.
'''Y'shtola:''' My, how resourceful.
'''Livingway:''' Ah, the sweet sound of recognition! You will also be impressed to hear we've read all about your habit of changing attire to match your chosen profession. For the sake of efficiency, I presume? This has also been taken into account with our designs.
'''Livingway:''' But why take my word for it when you can simply try on our clothes?
'''Livingway:''' Make yourselves known to the workers and they will see to the rest!

''Optional dialogue''
'''Livingway:''' If you're worried about sizing, don't be. It should be a simple matter to adjust our concepts as required...and it ''will'' be required.

===Speak with the restless Loporrit.===
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Ah! I-It's you! One of the visitors from Etheirys! Goodness me, Mappingway wasn't kidding ─ you really ''are'' smaller than the watcher.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Oh, right! You're here to try on a set of clothes, yes?
'''Restless Loporrit:''' What would you have me fashion for you today?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> An outfit that embodies my bloodlust.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Embodies your...what?
> Something simple, yet functional.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Simple and functional. Right.
> A fashionable and refined ensemble.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Fashionable... Right...

'''Restless Loporrit:''' Ahem. This will only take a moment.

'''Restless Loporrit:''' There we are. All finished!
'''Restless Loporrit:''' A perfect fit, if I do say so myself.

''(If you chose "Something simple, yet functional.")''
'''Restless Loporrit:''' Nothing too billowy or frilly, as you can see. Also light and durable — sure to serve you well wherever your travels might take you!
''(If you chose "A fashionable and refined ensemble.")''
'''Restless Loporrit:''' I'll be honest─I know nothing of fashion, let alone fashion on Etheirys. B-But I'd wager no one down there has ever worn anything like this fine ensemble. Perhaps you can start a new trend!
''(If you chose "An outfit that embodies my bloodlust")''
'''Restless Loporrit:''' I would be lying if I said I understand what bloodlust is, but I assume it's something you enjoy. I made certain the clothes are flexible yet sturdy enough to endure...whatever it is you plan to do while wearing them.

'''Restless Loporrit:''' Would you look at that. Speechless! And there I thought you may not like it.
'''Restless Loporrit:''' If you've a mind to try something else, why not speak with my fellow artisans?
'''Restless Loporrit:''' I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige.

<blockquote>You must continue wearing these garments in order to progress.
You will change back to your normal garments if you move too far away. Look
to your map for the garment change's area of effect.
Speak with the restless Loporrit to restore or prolong the garment change.</blockquote>

===Speak with the Jubilant Loporrit while wearing your new attire.===
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Ah! N-No one said you'd be coming! Er...how can I help you?
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' You wish to try my clothes? Really?
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' O-Of course! It would be my honor! Did you have anything in mind?

'''''What will you say?'''''
> Got anything with a little more...flair?
> I'm looking for clothes with an altogether different design.
> Surprise me!

'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' I-I think I can handle that. Let's see...
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' This should do!

'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Some of my best work yet.
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' It's a relatively new concept incorporating an idea that's never been tried with clothing before.
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Fragrance! Can you smell the carrots? <sniff> <sniff> Ah, simply divine!
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' I was worried how the concept would turn out when put to the proof, but it looks stunning on you!
'''Jubilant Loporrit:''' Won't you go and show Livingway? I'm sure she's eager to see what we've come up with.

<blockquote>You must continue wearing these garments in order to progress.
You will change back to your normal garments if you move too far away. Look
to your map for the garment change's area of effect.
Speak with the Jubilant Loporrit to restore or prolong the garment change.</blockquote>

===Speak with Livingway while wearing your new attire. (Cutscene)===
'''Livingway:''' My, don't we look splendid!
'''Livingway:''' The result of much trial and error, but I know quality work when I see it.
'''Livingway:''' Shhh. You needn't speak. I can see your adoration for the moon and we Loporrits in your eyes. No doubt your friends feel the same having sampled our creations.

'''Thancred:''' Sorry to have kept you waiting...
'''Y'shtola:''' They insisted we sample ''all'' of their concepts ere we returned.
'''Urianger:''' Verily, 'tis an ensemble most becoming.

'''Scions:''' ......

[[File:Scions in Loporrit Clothes.jpg|450px]]

'''Thancred:''' ...I think it's past time we returned these clothes.
'''Livingway:''' I was so confident our garments would meet with your approval... <sigh> Whatever are we doing wrong?
'''Livingway:''' The watcher taught us that, in his time, everyone wore the same robes. To do otherwise was against social etiquette.
'''Livingway:''' We thought we could appeal to modern tastes by tailoring the robes to specific professions, but...
'''Y'shtola:''' Please, you mustn't be so hard on yourself. Should we resort to evacuating the people of Etheirys, they will most certainly have need of your attire.
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis clear you spared no effort in addressing our needs, but you must understand that we are not quite so...homogenous.
'''Y'shtola:''' Speaking for myself, what I wear now better suits my tastes, even if it is of inferior make.
'''Y'shtola:''' But there are others whose choices may be influenced by traditions or personal experience. Rather than make assumptions for the whole, you must consider the individual and their potential preferences.
'''Livingway:''' I fear we've underestimated the complexity and diversity of your people. <sigh> Even if we'd memorized every tome we received, I doubt we'd have fared much better.
'''Livingway:''' Maybe we're doing you a disservice trying to shower you with our baubles and frippery, thinking it was for your benefit when you'd be better off on your own...
'''Thancred:''' ...There are some who might agree. People who prefer to keep others at arm's length, even when they know they shouldn't.
'''Thancred:''' As one such former fool, I'd like to ask you a question.
'''Thancred:''' This plan to evacuate and escape the Final Days ─ did it account for the reflections of the Source as well?
'''Livingway:''' Um... Not that I'm aware of...
'''Livingway:''' We were born of Hydaelyn's love for Etheirys, and the salvation of the people on that star, and that star alone, has ever been our aim.
'''Livingway:''' Surely it's better to devote ourselves to saving one world than to divide our efforts across fourteen, and risk failing them all?
'''Thancred:''' ...I suppose you're right.
'''Y'shtola:''' Livingway, might we have leave to explore Bestways Burrow unattended? You have given us much to think about.
'''Livingway:''' Why, certainly.
'''Y'shtola:''' Until later, then.
'''Urianger:''' If I may, I should like to accompany thee a while longer.
'''Livingway:''' Really!?
'''Livingway:''' I-I mean, you're more than welcome to. There was actually something I wished to speak with you about.
'''Livingway:''' Let's be off then, shall we?

'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Hmmm......

===Speak with the fidgeting Loporrit.===
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Ahhh! M-My apologies. I wasn't trying to spy or anything.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Everyone's been talking about the visitors come from Etheirys, and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' I was excited at first, but now...now I'm worried.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' What if the people of Etheirys refuse to come? What if we can't save them!?
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' <sigh> It's clear we've made a mess of things.
'''Fidgeting Loporrit:''' Oh, but wait! You still haven't visited the domiciles! Once you see them, you'll understand how wonderful the moon truly is, I'm sure of it.
'''Growingway:''' I'll be waiting for you by the teleporter near the entrance. Oh, and the name's Growingway, by the way. See you soon!

===Speak with Growingway. (Cutscene)===
'''Growingway:''' You're here! You're really here!
'''Growingway:''' Thank you! Thank you so much, uh...er... Sorry, what should I call you?
'''Growingway:''' [Forename Surname], eh? Crikey, even your names are amazing.
'''Growingway:''' Well, [Forename], we'll be using this teleporter to enter the residential area.
'''Growingway:''' Whenever you're ready.

'''Growingway:''' Readying the teleporter.
'''Growingway:''' Huh? Access to living quarters restricted due to reconstruction? Then where is it... Oh no!
'''Urianger:''' A private audience, as thou didst request. For reasons I know not...
'''Livingway:''' Just a precaution. I'd rather I didn't have to ask the question at all, but I take my responsibilities very, very seriously.
'''Livingway:''' Do you and your friends, by any chance, find our accommodation wanting? Be honest. Brutally, even.
'''Urianger:''' 'Twould be ungracious of me to belittle the efforts of thee and thine.
'''Livingway:''' Lovely sentiment, really, but the disappointment is writ plain on your comrades' faces. It's all the more frustrating since no one will come out and say what they find wanting!
'''Livingway:''' If there are faults in our work, we need to know. We can ─ we will ─ do better. But time is not on our side.
'''Livingway:''' The Final Days will wait for no one. If your people are to be saved, we must take quick and decisive action.
'''Livingway:''' This vessel must serve as a home for as many passengers as possible ─ for far longer than we may like. Which brings me to my request.
'''Livingway:''' Our collaborators on Etheirys are doing what they can to prepare for the voyage. Would you be willing to go and lend them a hand?
'''Livingway:''' Having seen the moon for yourself, you could speak to its many splendors. Learn what else they might require and assuage whatever concerns they have.
'''Urianger:''' Wherefore wouldst thou entrust me with such a task?
'''Livingway:''' How to put it... You're the only one who appears not to be wholly unsatisfied with our work.
'''Livingway:''' Or quite good at pretending that's the case, at least. Calm, collected, tactful to a fault ─ very particular with your words, too.
'''Livingway:''' You understand that, in the face of great danger, one cannot pursue perfection at the expense of practicality. That difficult choices must often be made for the greater good.
'''Urianger:''' And so fate doth conspire to set my feet upon this path once more...
'''Livingway:''' Come again?
'''Urianger:''' Ah, idle musings. 'Tis no trifle thou dost ask, yet full well do I understand the urgency...and necessity...
'''Urianger:''' I...
'''Growingway:''' Oh, dear me, dear me! I'm terribly sorry for the mix-up!
'''Growingway:''' It's a bit of a malfunction. I hadn't realized the residential quarters were inaccessible, you see...
'''Growingway:''' But you're still in one piece, so all's well that ends well, yes? Won't happen again. I promise!

===Speak with Growingway again.===
'''Growingway:''' Gosh, that was embarrassing. I promise to be more careful from now on.
'''Growingway:''' Since the residential quarters are closed for now, I've rerouted the teleporter to allow travel between floors instead. Hopefully it proves useful in the meantime.
'''Growingway:''' <sigh> A shame you couldn't see it, though. You really would've liked it.

<blockquote>You can now travel between the upper and lower floors of Bestways Burrow via the teleporter.</blockquote>
