==Steps==
*Wait under the peach tree.
*Report to the royal [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]].

==Journal==
*In the name of letting no princess go uncrowned, the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]] divides his current stock of [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|daisy crowns]] with you─though he is running low, and hopes to receive more from his staff shortly. He advises that you stand under a peach tree by the [[Gate of Nald]] and keep watch for any would-be princesses or seneschals in the meantime. ※Please note that you will not be able to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For more details, check the Lodestone.

*Your diligent scanning of [[Emerald Avenue]] soon rewards you with a fateful encounter─and a story to tell the royal seneschal. Once again, [[Aldiytha]]’s plan has succeeded in making [[Ul’dah]] a brighter place this [[Little Ladies’ Day]].

*You share your tale with the royal seneschal, who promises to see it relayed to Aldiytha. Of course, there are still many whose smiles may shine under a crown of daisies, should you be in the mood to continue spreading joy throughout the city.

==Dialouge==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Royal Seneschal''': If you have the time, I could certainly use more assistance in presenting our [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|flower crowns]] to those on [[Emerald Avenue]]. As I mentioned, it is at the center of our [[Little Ladies' Day]] celebration, and nary a moment passes without a would-be princess or seneschal walking by!

'''Royal Seneschal''': I will divide my remaining stock with you─please wait by yonder peach tree and offer crowns to any potential celebrants whom I have missed. My staff is weaving more as we speak, so return to me when you need to resupply!

'''Royal Seneschal''': I can scarce remember a more hectic Little Ladies' Day─but the smiles of newly crowned princesses and their seneschals make all of our efforts worthwhile, don't you agree?

===Under the Peach Tree===
====Yellow Moon, Adalberta, and Mylla====
'''Yellow Moon''': <gasp> Could it be? The garland spoken of in faerie tales and romances... The accessory of my childhood dreams... A flower crown!?

'''Yellow Moon''': How wonderful! It will perfectly suit a fair maiden such as I, don't you agree? Oh, I can hardly wait to show [[Bitter Snow]]─he'll fall in love with me all over again!

'''Adalberta''': If it isn't [[Yellow Moon]]! I see you're enjoying your flower crown. We picked ours up from the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]] just a moment ago. Aren't they cute?

'''Yellow Moon''': [[Adalberta]]! You look positively precious!

'''Yellow Moon''': And you, [[Mylla]], are stunning! Somehow your steely gaze makes your crown all the lovelier. You should decorate your hair more often!

'''Mylla''': I feel utterly ridiculous. But Adalberta insists I wear the thing...

'''Adalberta''': Come now, there's no use pretending─you know you like it. And you'll be turning heads for the rest of the day. One head in particular, I'm su─

'''Mylla''': Not. Another. Word. Do you hear me?

'''Yellow Moon''': Now, now, no murder on Little Ladies' Day! It's not ladylike!

'''Mylla''': Oh, I would never harm Adalberta─she's one of my oldest and dearest friends. Even if she is constantly pestering me.

'''Adalberta''': Well, someone has to do it!

====Popokkuli, Seserukka, and Greinfarr====
'''Popokkuli''': Hm? You, you're that adventurer─[Player]! What are you up to?

'''Seserukka''': Giving out crowns for Little Ladies' Day? Interesting! Shall we take one to [[Nenekko]]?

'''Popokkuli''': Not a bad idea! She always did love it when we read the [[The Legend of the Lost Lady|Legend of the Lost Lady]] to her as a child.

'''Popokkuli''': She's been so immersed in her research lately that she's like to have forgotten about Little Ladies' Day altogether, which means it'll be a pleasant surprise!

'''Greinfarr''': Heh. She's a lucky girl, to have you two watching over her.

'''Seserukka''': While we're on the subject, [[Greinfarr]], isn't there anyone you would want to give one of these crowns to?

'''Greinfarr''': Wh─ No! Of course not. I am far too busy training to even think of such things.

'''Greinfarr''': In fact, the [[The Bronze Bull|Bronze Bull]] hears the call of the arena right now! Farewell!

====Lilira and Papashan====
'''Lilira''': Well met, adventurer. I am [[Lilira]]─no one of note, I fear. Merely another merchant's daughter.

'''Lilira''': Oho, is that a flower crown I spy? How lovely! Could I perchance trouble you for one?

'''Papashan''': Lady Lilira, do you not think that a crown will cause you to, er...''stand out'' overmuch?

'''Lilira''': Not at all! This is a day on which ''all'' little ladies are as princesses, is it not? Or do you believe that a crown will not suit one such as I?

'''Papashan''': M-My lady, that was hardly my intention...

'''Lilira''': Hahaha! I jest, I jest! I well understood your meaning.

'''Lilira''': Yet my point stands─as a little lady, it is fitting that I have a crown. And I would quite like one, besides.

'''Lilira''': I expect that everyone at home will be surprised─it has been quite some time since I was last a princess. Hmm, or shall I play the role of Sultan [[Baldric Thorne|Baldric]] instead? “My lady, I am your royal seneschal!”

'''Papashan''': I only ask that you avoid any ''jests'' that may alarm your other attendants. I nearly perished on the spot!

====Biggs and Wedge====
'''Wedge''': Hey, it's [Player]!

'''Biggs''': We're here on [[Garlond Ironworks|Ironworks]] business─visiting the [[Miners' Guild]] to inquire about supplies and whatnot─but we hardly expected to see you here! What brings you to [[Ul'dah]]?

'''Wedge''': Flower crowns for Little Ladies' Day? What a nice idea!

'''Biggs''': Indeed it is! I'll take one, if you don't mind.

'''Wedge''': Er...if you say so. I'm not sure it'll match your goggles, though.

'''Biggs''': I'm not going to ''wear'' it! It'd make a nice decoration for our little corner of [[Rhalgr's Reach]], is all.

'''Biggs''': We've been so harried lately, what with saving the world from [[Omega]], sorting all the data, [[Cid]]'s emotional issues... A floral decoration will bring some much-needed tranquility to the place.

'''Wedge''': That may be a bit much for one ring of daisies to handle. I'd rather give it to [[Tataru]]─I think it'd bring out the pink in her eyes. She'd like it, wouldn't she?

'''Biggs''': Thank you kindly. It's so colorful... I bet [[Alpha]] would love it, were he here. I hope he's learned about Little Ladies' Day, wherever he may be.

'''Wedge''': I bet he has─and all sorts of other things besides! Most of this world is new to him, after all. He's probably having a wonderful time, so we shouldn't...we shouldn't...

'''Wedge''': Waaah! I miss Alphaaa!

====Severian, Cocobuki, and Redolent Rose====
'''Severian''': ...Is that you, my loyal assistant? Why are you standing about gormlessly in the middle of town?

'''Severian''': A flower crown? How utterly banal.

'''Severian''': Though, were one to apply an admixture of the appropriate viscosity and translucence, it may be possible to preserve its beauty evermore, thereby defying principles that have heretofore been presume unyielding... Perhaps I do require one after all.

'''Cocobuki''': Hm hm hm... Guildmaster [[Redolent Rose]], if I'm not mistaken. What brings you here?

'''Redolent Rose''': Ah, a master of the [[Thaumaturges' Guild]]! I recall the eyepatch, so you must be Coco...er...

'''Cocobuki''': [[Cocobuki]], yes.

'''Redolent Rose''': That was it! As to your question, I've come to evaluate the fashions of the day. And by "evaluate" I simply mean "observe," of course. I'm not keeping score. Who would do that? Hahaha... Anyway, the flower crowns certainly are charming, are they not?

'''Cocobuki''': Charming...yes. Such an embellishment would ill suit me. [[Cocobusi|Busi]], on the other hand...

'''Cocobuki''': One crown, my good [man/woman]!

'''Cocobuki''': A pleasing headpiece, and perhaps suitable for later use in alchemic solutions. Busi will be delighted.

'''Redolent Rose''': His name may be impossible to remember, but he's unmistakably the eldest brother. I do hope his siblings know how much he cares.

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Royal Seneschal''': Ah, you have returned. How did you fare?

'''Royal Seneschal''': What a charming tale! We shall have to relay it to Miss [[Aldiytha]]─she will be delighted to know that her crowns are the source of such happiness.

'''Royal Seneschal''': For my part, I appreciate your continued assistance. Needless to say, you will always be welcome to join me in acting as seneschal to the little ladies of Ul'dah!

==Steps==
*Speak with the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]].
*Search for the [[Dark-haired Lady|dark-haired lady]].
*Present a [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|flower crown]] to the [[Little Princess|young princess-to-be]].
*Present a [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|flower crown]] to the [[mature princess-to-be]].
*Speak with [[Rodolph]] on [[Emerald Avenue]].

==Journal==
*Unable to ignore someone in such clear─if well-mannered─distress, you speak with the [[Unsettled Seneschal|unsettled seneschal]] you spotted on the streets of [[Ul'dah]]. You discover that he, Rodolph, serves the historic [[House Thorne|Thorne]] family, which, once upon a time, gave rise to sultans and sultanas of the selfsame city-state. His charge, [[Aldiytha Thorne]], is currently missing─and likely wishes to remain so, but you nevertheless agree to assist the poor man in locating her. ※Please note that you will not be able to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For more details, check the Lodestone.

*It seems Aldiytha left a note indicating that she would be joining the Little Ladies' Day festivities, and Rodolph believes that the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]] and his network of contacts may be of assistance in finding her. Though the event's overseer has not seen the girl, he agrees to help you search [[Emerald Avenue]] for her, as that is where he suspects she will be drawn.

*You locate Aldiytha not far from the [[Gate of Nald]], gazing up at the redolent blooms of a peach tree. Though Rodolph does his best to convince her to return home, she refuses to acquiesce until she has spread joy to the people of Ul'dah, just as her ancestor Sultan [[Baldric Thorne|Baldric]] once did. Her chosen method is the distribution of [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|floral crowns]] made from daisies that she herself grew, and, moved by her impassioned speech, you agree to accompany her until she has presented them to the townsfolk.

*Aldiytha, perhaps slightly overzealous in her chosen task, located a [[Little Princess|young lady]] staring dreamily at the drifting peach blossoms. When you present the girl with a daisy crown, making her feel just like a princess, she jumps for joy. Though Aldiytha appears quite pleased with this reaction, there are yet more would-be-royals in need of adornment, so she rushed off in search of the next.

*Your next target is a [[Mature Princess|woman]] of middle age. Though she initially protests, after donning the crown she admits that she feels as if a childhood dream has come true─as does her [[Doting Seneschal|husband]], having gleefully seized upon the opportunity to act as her seneschal (and make her blush). After enjoying a hearty laugh at their own behavior, the two stroll away amiably, while Rodolph reflects on his own youthful dream. Unfortunately, his train of thought is interrupted by Aldiytha’s coughing, which alarms all present. Though she soon recovers, it is clear that she has exerted herself more than enough for one day, so she at last agrees with Rodolph that she ought to return home.

*As you wiat for Rodolph and Aldiytha's carriage, the royal seneschal asks her to share the reason behind her desire to grow and distribute daisies for Little Ladies' Day. She regales you all with a tale of Sultan Baldric, who, in his kindness, accepted a gift of daisies from a common girl and made of them a pair of matching crowns. Moved by this, and all he has seen throughout the day, Rodolph reaffirms his commitment to serving Aldiytha. He presents her with the flower crown she deserves, which she delightedly accepts. The pair thank you, and as you say your good-byes, you─with some encouragement from the royal seneschal─promise to carry on Aldiytha's work, and give flower crowns to all of the would-be-princesses and seneschals of Ul'dah.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Unsettled Seneschal''': Please, good [sir/madam], you must help me! The young mistress has gone missing and I...

'''Unsettled Seneschal''': ...I do beg your pardon. That is hardly an appropriate way to begin a conversation, is it? I quite forgot myself for a moment.

'''Rodolph''': Allow me to introduce myself─I am [[Rodolph]], and I have the honor of serving the noble [[House Thorne|Thorne]] family. The young lady of whom I spoke is [[Aldiytha Thorne]], whose whereabouts, I regret to report, are currently unknown.

'''Player''': Should I know who that is? / Escaped her gilded cage, I take it?

===="Should I know who that is?"====
'''Rodolph''': A fair question, and one which I shall endeavor to answer to the fullest. “Spare no detail” are words I live by in my profession, you see.

===="Escaped her gilded cage, I take it?"====
'''Rodolph''': A fair question, and one which I shall endeavor to answer to the fullest. “Spare no detail” are words I live by in my profession, you see.

'''Rodolph''': Ahem. You have doubtless heard of the [[The Thorne Dynasty|Thorne Dynasty]], the period in [[Ul'dah]]n history that began some three hundred years ago. During this time, the Thorne family reigned in the sultanate.

'''Rodolph''': Though they relinquished their stewardship over the nation in favor of restoring the [[House Ul|Ul]] to the throne, the noble scions of the Thorne line have continued to occupy positions of great social importance. Lady Aldiytha is the eldest daughter of the current head of the family.

'''Rodolph''': Alas, she has always been frail of body. For her protection, I do my utmost to keep her from the perils of the outside world. But she has been haler than usual as of late, and when I went to look in on her this morning, I found that she had, ah...given me the slip, one might say.

'''Rodolph''': Ever courteous, she left behind a note stating that she intended to join in the [[Little Ladies' Day]] celebrations in town. I certainly understand her desire to do so, given that her health has prevented her attendance in all previous years.

'''Rodolph''': However, it is far too dangerous for her to cavort about the city on her own. If she were to be taken ill, or some misfortune to befall her, I would never forgive myself. Oh, it's the [[The Legend of the Lost Lady|Legend of the Lost Lady]] all over again!

'''Player''': So, shall we start the search sometime this century, or… / Oooh, the “Legend of the Lost Lady”? Tell me more!

===="So, shall we start the search sometime this century, or…"====
'''Rodolph''': Good heavens! In sparing no detail, I lost sight of the larger picture. Yes, we must find Lady Aldiytha immediately!

===="Oooh, the “Legend of the Lost Lady”? Tell me more!"====
'''Rodolph''': Ah, yes. In the tale, Princess Edvya, who had been her whole life confined to the palace, switched places with a common miller's daughter and slipped away. Her overprotective father, Sultan Baldric, flew into a panic, his army all but razing the miller's house as they searched.

'''Rodolph''': When the princess returned, however, the sultan came to repent his hasty actions. He had the miller's house rebuilt, and insisted upon personally serving as seneschal to the man's daughter for a day. His zeal for the role sparked smiles across the city.

'''Rodolph''': It is this legacy that lives on as Little Ladies' Day, on which we remember that each little girl is as dear as a princess, and should be equally treasured.

'''Rodolph''': Good heavens! In sparing no detail, I lost sight of the larger picture. Yes, we must find Lady Aldiytha immediately!

'''Rodolph''': Though I admit that, even with the both of us set to the task, it will be nigh impossible to locate her without knowing where in the city she might be.

'''Rodolph''': I have it! Responsible for overseeing the festivities as he is, the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]] surely has knowledge that we lack. Lady Aldiytha may even have spoken with him. We should seek his aid first and foremost.

'''Rodolph''': Please, follow me!

===Questioning the Royal Seneschal===
'''Rodolph''': The royal seneschal takes his role very seriously─I am confident that he will help us find Lady Aldiytha.

'''Royal Seneschal''': It's wonderful to see you again, my friend. Have you come to celebrate Little Ladies' Day with us?

'''Royal Seneschal''': Are you here to become a princess for a day─or perhaps you wish to act as seneschal for someone dear to you? Either way, I am certain we can make your dream come true.

'''Rodolph''': I am terribly sorry to bother you during the festivities, but we are in urgent need of your assistance.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Why, if it isn't Rodolph! You seem quite distressed. Am I correct, then, in assuming that this concerns Miss Aldiytha?

'''Rodolph''': Er...yes, as it happens. She wished to join the other citizens in celebrating Little Ladies' Day, but she left home unaccompanied, and I fear that my chances of locating her without help are slim.

'''Royal Seneschal''': That is distressing indeed. Though I have not seen her pass by, I shall of course join you in your search. I have yet to thank her for the daisies, after all.

'''Rodolph''': Daisies? No─we can spare no detail later. Lady Aldiytha is our priority!

'''Royal Seneschal''': Well then, we can begin with the main thoroughfare on which we stand─it is at the center of the festivities, and is always bustling with little ladies and their seneschals. If Aldiytha wished to join the celebration, she could not fail to be drawn to it.

'''Rodolph''': In that case, we should spread out so as not to miss her. Kind adventurer, please search for a dignified young lady with long, dark hair between where we stand and the [[Gate of Nald|Gates of Nald]]. The royal seneschal and I will cover the opposite direction.

===Approaching the Dark-haired Lady===
'''Dark-haired Lady''': Yes, I am Aldiytha Thorne. Why do you ask?

'''Aldiytha''': Rodolph sent you? Oh dear, I didn't think he would find me so quickly...

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha! Thank the heavens that you are unharmed!

'''Rodolph''': Who knows what may have come to pass without your assistance? The two of you have my thanks.

'''Rodolph''': Come now, we had best return home before you tax yourself overmuch.

'''Aldiytha''': I appreciate your concern, Rodolph, but that I cannot do. I have a mission this Little Ladies' Day, and I will see it through!

'''Rodolph''': A...mission? Whatever it is, it cannot be more important than your health. I will not simply wait until you collapse─or worse!

'''Player''': It's her life─at least hear her out. / Safety first!

===="It's her life─at least hear her out."====
'''Aldiytha''': Thank you, dear adventurer! I'm sure you'll understand why this is so important to me.

===="Safety first!"====
'''Aldiytha''': It's kind of you to worry about me. But I swear that I'm feeling perfectly well today. No trouble breathing, no dizziness...and I'm not planning to do anything reckless. Truly!

'''Aldiytha''': You see, as a Thorne, Little Ladies' Day has always held special meaning for me. I was raised on the Legend of the Lost Lady─and as I grew older, it became my dream to bring joy to the people of Ul'dah, just as Sultan Baldric once did.

'''Aldiytha''': My illness, however, has kept me from so much... Eventually, I decided that if I could not brighten people's hearts on Little Ladies' Day myself, I would at least contribute something that could. That's why I began growing daisies in the garden.

'''Aldiytha''': Miraculously, as they sprouted and bloomed, my body grew stronger─and I began to think that my dream might at last come true. You and I both know that my fortune will likely not last, but that is all the more reason to do what I can right now! All I ask is for this one day.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Such a kind soul! I cannot speak for Rodolph, but your words have touched me deeply─as have your actions. While the Thornes are always generous in their provisions for Little Ladies' Day, to receive so many beautiful flowers this year was a true delight.

'''Royal Seneschal''': If I may ask, why did you choose to grow daisies? Your family's crest depicts peach blossoms, does it not? That is why we typically use them as a motif for Little Ladies' Day... Could we have been mistaken all this time?

'''Aldiytha''': I'm glad that you asked, but that is a secret to be revealed at a later time! For now, I would like to begin weaving these daisies into [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|crowns]], so that we may present them to the many princesses of Ul'dah.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Crowns of flowers! What a splendid idea! Please, allow us to assist you. I will set my staff to the task at once.

'''Aldiytha''': Wonderful! The preparations will go so much more smoothly with the royal seneschal's cooperation. Rodolph, pray bear with me a little bit longer.

'''Rodolph''': I...cannot. Though I am loath to disappoint you, as your seneschal, it falls to me to protect you. Your health notwithstanding, it is simply not safe for you to wander the city. We cannot assume that all who walk these streets have motives as pure as your own─Little Ladies' Day or no.

'''Aldiytha''': You can't mean to take me back! Not when I'm so close...

'''Player''': I will accompany you, and guarantee her safety myself. / Allow me to serve as her seneschal today!

===="I will accompany you, and guarantee her safety myself."====
'''Rodolph''': Hmm... I suppose that she would be reasonably safe with you as bodyguard. Very well.

===="Allow me to serve as her seneschal today!"====
'''Rodolph''': Hmm... I have no means to protect her out here in the city, but you have. So if you were to take on that responsibility... Very well, then. But I cannot well cede ''all'' of my duties to you, so I will remain with you until the lady is ready to return home.

'''Aldiytha''': Oh, thank you so very much! Let's go and crown some princesses right away!

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha! Please do not sprint so!

'''Royal Seneschal''': Wait, we haven't finished making the flower crowns ye─nevermind.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Well, I have no doubt that she will succeed in putting smiles on the faces of many a little lady with her flower crowns─assuming she has them on hand. I will have my staff bring along the ones that are finished so that you can take some with you.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Here we are. Please go after Miss Aldiytha, and see that these find their way to the heads of would-be princesses!

===Finding a Young Princess-to-Be===
'''Rodolph''': If we work efficiently, I may be able to return the lady home before her father becomes worried.

'''Aldiytha''': Oh, I'm such a scatterbrain! You didn't happen to collect the flower crowns from the royal seneschal, did you? I would so like to present one to this young woman...

'''Little Princess''': Sorry, am I in the way?

'''Little Princess''': Oh, a crown made of flowers! It's so pretty! Do you think that if I wear this, I can be a princess too?

'''Little Princess''': I really can? This is the best day ever! I have to go and tell Father that he's my seneschal now!

'''Aldiytha''': Did you see her smile? It's wonderful that, even hundreds of years later, the Legend of the Lost Lady can bring people such joy.

'''Aldiytha''': Shall we try the [[Ul'dah - Steps of Thal|Steps of Thal]] next? I'm certain we can find others who dream of becoming princesses.

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha! I spared no detail in warning you of the dangers of running mere moments ago!

===Finding a Mature Princess-to-Be===
'''Rodolph''': I must admit, I scarce remember when last I saw Lady Aldiytha so happy.

'''Aldiytha''': This woman surely deserves a flower crown! I know her husband will love it as well.

'''Doting Seneschal''': My wife and I have come to enjoy Little Ladies' Day. I have been too busy with work to spend time with her as of late, but the festivities give me an excuse to put my duties aside and take her on a romantic stroll.

'''Mature Princess''': Hello, can I be of service?

'''Mature Princess''': A crown of flowers? Are you quite certain you mean to give this to me? Surely there are younger ladies whom it would better suit...

'''Aldiytha''': There's no mistake, I assure you. Though you may no longer be little, I am certain that you are a lady who is a princess at heart.

'''Mature Princess''': Well, 'tis true that as a child, I always dreamed of being a princess. Frilly dress billowing as I glide gracefully through palace halls, with a doting seneschal at my side...

'''Mature Princess''': How...do I look? If you're going to laugh, hurry up about it!

'''Doting Seneschal''': You are a vision of beauty, my lady. If I may be so bold─it is an honor to serve one as lovely, as gentle, as...

'''Mature Princess''': Eep! Stop, stop! Oh gods, I'm blushing...

'''Doting Seneschal''': Well, don't go and make it seem embarrassing! I always dreamed of having a princess to treasure, you know! And I found you, and, er... Oh, now ‘’I'm’’ blushing!

'''Mature Princess''': Thank you. It seems both of our childhood dreams have come true! I never expected to feel so much like a princess at my age.

'''Aldiytha''': What a darling couple. Little Ladies' Day really does have the power to touch people's hearts, no matter their age! For we were all children, once─children listening, starry-eyed, to tales of princesses and seneschals.

'''Rodolph''': Childhood tales...yes, I remember. It was for the same reason that I dreamed of becoming a seneschal. To do my utmost to make one lady, one princess, smile.

'''Rodolph''': But can I truly say I have been living up to that ideal as of late?

'''Aldiytha''': <cough> <cough> <cough>

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha! Are you alright?

'''Aldiytha''': I will be fine. Though I suspect you were right─I should not have run so much earlier.

'''Rodolph''': Let us return to the royal seneschal. I will contact your father and ask that a carriage be sent.

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Aldiytha''': I apologize for worrying you. I will be fine.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Perhaps all of this excitement at once was a bit too much for her.

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha seems to be doing well for the moment, and we shall return home without further exertion on her part. Rest assured that there is no cause for you to worry.

'''Aldiytha''': Thank you─because of your help, I was finally able to make my dream come true. I am so sorry to repay your kindness with more trouble.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Now, now, don't you worry over making others worry! Then everyone will be worried! Why don't we discuss something else instead─perhaps you are ready to share with us your reasons for choosing daisies, for instance?

'''Aldiytha''': But of course. I will tell you the story while we wait for the carriage.

'''Aldiytha''': After Sultan Baldric served as seneschal to the miller girl, he chose to do the same once each year for other Ul'dahn ladies. It is said that this was his way of reminding himself─and others─that all girls should be treasured.

'''Aldiytha''': Then, one year, the girl he had chosen to be princess for a day presented him with a bouquet of daisies, to thank him for his service.

'''Aldiytha''': The daisies that grow in Ul'dah are hearty─capable of proliferating even in our arid climes. This made them popular amongst the common folk, for even those without a proper garden could grow or pick them. Of course, for the same reason, the nobles considered them beneath notice at best.

'''Aldiytha''': Amongst the nobility, presenting someone with such common flowers might even be considered an insult. So when the little lady gave them to the sultan, his attendants could do naught but hold their breath in trepidation.

'''Aldiytha''': But, knowing how hard the girl had worked to pick them, the sultan gladly accepted the daisies. He bade his attendants fashion them into circlets, and, removing his own royal crown, placed one on his head, and another on hers. “We're the same, you and I,” he said, smiling.

'''Aldiytha''': Ever since, the Thorne family has considered daisies to be symbols of happiness.

'''Rodolph''': That your flower crowns had such meaning behind them... I had no idea. And as your seneschal, I should have. I should have asked. I should have listened to every detail.

'''Rodolph''': But I am listening now. And if there is one thing I have learned today, it is that every lady deserves to be treated as a princess. So, I ask...does that not include you as well?

'''Aldiytha''': How do I look?

'''Player''': Just like a princess! / Just like Sultan Baldric!

===="Just like a princess!"====
'''Aldiytha''': To be honest, that is what I was hoping to hear. Oh, and it seems Rodolph has one for you, as well!

===="Just like Sultan Baldric!"====
'''Aldiytha''': To be honest, that is what I was hoping to hear. Oh, and it seems Rodolph has one for you, as well!

'''Aldiytha''': “We're the same, you and I!” ...I've always wanted to say that.

'''Rodolph''': It seems that my lady is not the only one following in the footsteps of Sultan Baldric today. You not only watched over Lady Aldiytha─you helped me understand what is most important to her. In granting her wish, you have granted mine as well. Thank you.

'''Aldiytha''': I can hardly express my gratitude. I've never had such a wonderful day in all my life, and it's because you were here to help my dream come true.

'''Aldiytha''': Thank you. I only wish that I didn't have to leave so soon...

'''Rodolph''': If that is your wish, we will simply have to find a way for you to stay longer next year.

'''Royal Seneschal''': For my part, I'm grateful to all of you. This will be a Little Ladies' Day to remember for many of us, I am sure of it.

'''Royal Seneschal''': But it is not over for you and I, is it, adventurer? We must work to see flower crowns in the hands of many a princess and seneschal yet.

==Steps==
*Speak with the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]].
*Search for the [[Dark-haired Lady|dark-haired lady]].
*Present a [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|flower crown]] to the [[Little Princess|young princess-to-be]].
*Present a [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|flower crown]] to the [[mature princess-to-be]].
*Speak with [[Rodolph]] on [[Emerald Avenue]].

==Journal==
*Unable to ignore someone in such clear─if well-mannered─distress, you speak with the [[Unsettled Seneschal|unsettled seneschal]] you spotted on the streets of [[Ul'dah]]. You discover that he, Rodolph, serves the historic [[Thorne]] family, which, once upon a time, gave rise to sultans and sultanas of the selfsame city-state. His charge, [[Aldiytha Thorne]], is currently missing─and likely wishes to remain so, but you nevertheless agree to assist the poor man in locating her. ※Please note that you will not be able to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For more details, check the Lodestone.

*It seems Aldiytha left a note indicating that she would be joining the Little Ladies' Day festivities, and Rodolph believes that the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]] and his network of contacts may be of assistance in finding her. Though the event's overseer has not seen the girl, he agrees to help you search [[Emerald Avenue]] for her, as that is where he suspects she will be drawn.

*You locate Aldiytha not far from the [[Gate of Nald]], gazing up at the redolent blooms of a peach tree. Though Rodolph does his best to convince her to return home, she refuses to acquiesce until she has spread joy to the people of Ul'dah, just as her ancestor Sultan [[Baldric Thorne|Baldric]] once did. Her chosen method is the distribution of [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|floral crowns]] made from daisies that she herself grew, and, moved by her impassioned speech, you agree to accompany her until she has presented them to the townsfolk.

*Aldiytha, perhaps slightly overzealous in her chosen task, located a [[Little Princess|young lady]] staring dreamily at the drifting peach blossoms. When you present the girl with a daisy crown, making her feel just like a princess, she jumps for joy. Though Aldiytha appears quite pleased with this reaction, there are yet more would-be-royals in need of adornment, so she rushed off in search of the next.

*Your next target is a [[Mature Princess|woman]] of middle age. Though she initially protests, after donning the crown she admits that she feels as if a childhood dream has come true─as does her [[Doting Seneschal|husband]], having gleefully seized upon the opportunity to act as her seneschal (and make her blush). After enjoying a hearty laugh at their own behavior, the two stroll away amiably, while Rodolph reflects on his own youthful dream. Unfortunately, his train of thought is interrupted by Aldiytha’s coughing, which alarms all present. Though she soon recovers, it is clear that she has exerted herself more than enough for one day, so she at last agrees with Rodolph that she ought to return home.

*As you wiat for Rodolph and Aldiytha's carriage, the royal seneschal asks her to share the reason behind her desire to grow and distribute daisies for Little Ladies' Day. She regales you all with a tale of Sultan Baldric, who, in his kindness, accepted a gift of daisies from a common girl and made of them a pair of matching crowns. Moved by this, and all he has seen throughout the day, Rodolph reaffirms his commitment to serving Aldiytha. He presents her with the flower crown she deserves, which she delightedly accepts. The pair thank you, and as you say your good-byes, you─with some encouragement from the royal seneschal─promise to carry on Aldiytha's work, and give flower crowns to all of the would-be-princesses and seneschals of Ul'dah.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Unsettled Seneschal''': Please, good [sir/madam], you must help me! The young mistress has gone missing and I...

'''Unsettled Seneschal''': ...I do beg your pardon. That is hardly an appropriate way to begin a conversation, is it? I quite forgot myself for a moment.

'''Rodolph''': Allow me to introduce myself─I am [[Rodolph]], and I have the honor of serving the noble [[Thorne]] family. The young lady of whom I spoke is [[Aldiytha Thorne]], whose whereabouts, I regret to report, are currently unknown.

'''Player''': Should I know who that is? / Escaped her gilded cage, I take it?

===="Should I know who that is?"====
'''Rodolph''': A fair question, and one which I shall endeavor to answer to the fullest. “Spare no detail” are words I live by in my profession, you see.

===="Escaped her gilded cage, I take it?"====
'''Rodolph''': A fair question, and one which I shall endeavor to answer to the fullest. “Spare no detail” are words I live by in my profession, you see.

'''Rodolph''': Ahem. You have doubtless heard of the [[The Thorne Dynasty|Thorne Dynasty]], the period in [[Ul'dah]]n history that began some three hundred years ago. During this time, the Thorne family reigned in the sultanate.

'''Rodolph''': Though they relinquished their stewardship over the nation in favor of restoring the [[Ul]] to the throne, the noble scions of the Thorne line have continued to occupy positions of great social importance. Lady Aldiytha is the eldest daughter of the current head of the family.

'''Rodolph''': Alas, she has always been frail of body. For her protection, I do my utmost to keep her from the perils of the outside world. But she has been haler than usual as of late, and when I went to look in on her this morning, I found that she had, ah...given me the slip, one might say.

'''Rodolph''': Ever courteous, she left behind a note stating that she intended to join in the [[Little Ladies' Day]] celebrations in town. I certainly understand her desire to do so, given that her health has prevented her attendance in all previous years.

'''Rodolph''': However, it is far too dangerous for her to cavort about the city on her own. If she were to be taken ill, or some misfortune to befall her, I would never forgive myself. Oh, it's the [[The Legend of the Lost Lady|Legend of the Lost Lady]] all over again!

'''Player''': So, shall we start the search sometime this century, or… / Oooh, the “Legend of the Lost Lady”? Tell me more!

===="So, shall we start the search sometime this century, or…"====
'''Rodolph''': Good heavens! In sparing no detail, I lost sight of the larger picture. Yes, we must find Lady Aldiytha immediately!

===="Oooh, the “Legend of the Lost Lady”? Tell me more!"====
'''Rodolph''': Ah, yes. In the tale, Princess Edvya, who had been her whole life confined to the palace, switched places with a common miller's daughter and slipped away. Her overprotective father, Sultan Baldric, flew into a panic, his army all but razing the miller's house as they searched.

'''Rodolph''': When the princess returned, however, the sultan came to repent his hasty actions. He had the miller's house rebuilt, and insisted upon personally serving as seneschal to the man's daughter for a day. His zeal for the role sparked smiles across the city.

'''Rodolph''': It is this legacy that lives on as Little Ladies' Day, on which we remember that each little girl is as dear as a princess, and should be equally treasured.

'''Rodolph''': Good heavens! In sparing no detail, I lost sight of the larger picture. Yes, we must find Lady Aldiytha immediately!

'''Rodolph''': Though I admit that, even with the both of us set to the task, it will be nigh impossible to locate her without knowing where in the city she might be.

'''Rodolph''': I have it! Responsible for overseeing the festivities as he is, the [[Royal Seneschal|royal seneschal]] surely has knowledge that we lack. Lady Aldiytha may even have spoken with him. We should seek his aid first and foremost.

'''Rodolph''': Please, follow me!

===Questioning the Royal Seneschal===
'''Rodolph''': The royal seneschal takes his role very seriously─I am confident that he will help us find Lady Aldiytha.

'''Royal Seneschal''': It's wonderful to see you again, my friend. Have you come to celebrate Little Ladies' Day with us?

'''Royal Seneschal''': Are you here to become a princess for a day─or perhaps you wish to act as seneschal for someone dear to you? Either way, I am certain we can make your dream come true.

'''Rodolph''': I am terribly sorry to bother you during the festivities, but we are in urgent need of your assistance.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Why, if it isn't Rodolph! You seem quite distressed. Am I correct, then, in assuming that this concerns Miss Aldiytha?

'''Rodolph''': Er...yes, as it happens. She wished to join the other citizens in celebrating Little Ladies' Day, but she left home unaccompanied, and I fear that my chances of locating her without help are slim.

'''Royal Seneschal''': That is distressing indeed. Though I have not seen her pass by, I shall of course join you in your search. I have yet to thank her for the daisies, after all.

'''Rodolph''': Daisies? No─we can spare no detail later. Lady Aldiytha is our priority!

'''Royal Seneschal''': Well then, we can begin with the main thoroughfare on which we stand─it is at the center of the festivities, and is always bustling with little ladies and their seneschals. If Aldiytha wished to join the celebration, she could not fail to be drawn to it.

'''Rodolph''': In that case, we should spread out so as not to miss her. Kind adventurer, please search for a dignified young lady with long, dark hair between where we stand and the [[Gate of Nald|Gates of Nald]]. The royal seneschal and I will cover the opposite direction.

===Approaching the Dark-haired Lady===
'''Dark-haired Lady''': Yes, I am Aldiytha Thorne. Why do you ask?

'''Aldiytha''': Rodolph sent you? Oh dear, I didn't think he would find me so quickly...

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha! Thank the heavens that you are unharmed!

'''Rodolph''': Who knows what may have come to pass without your assistance? The two of you have my thanks.

'''Rodolph''': Come now, we had best return home before you tax yourself overmuch.

'''Aldiytha''': I appreciate your concern, Rodolph, but that I cannot do. I have a mission this Little Ladies' Day, and I will see it through!

'''Rodolph''': A...mission? Whatever it is, it cannot be more important than your health. I will not simply wait until you collapse─or worse!

'''Player''': It's her life─at least hear her out. / Safety first!

===="It's her life─at least hear her out."====
'''Aldiytha''': Thank you, dear adventurer! I'm sure you'll understand why this is so important to me.

===="Safety first!"====
'''Aldiytha''': It's kind of you to worry about me. But I swear that I'm feeling perfectly well today. No trouble breathing, no dizziness...and I'm not planning to do anything reckless. Truly!

'''Aldiytha''': You see, as a Thorne, Little Ladies' Day has always held special meaning for me. I was raised on the Legend of the Lost Lady─and as I grew older, it became my dream to bring joy to the people of Ul'dah, just as Sultan Baldric once did.

'''Aldiytha''': My illness, however, has kept me from so much... Eventually, I decided that if I could not brighten people's hearts on Little Ladies' Day myself, I would at least contribute something that could. That's why I began growing daisies in the garden.

'''Aldiytha''': Miraculously, as they sprouted and bloomed, my body grew stronger─and I began to think that my dream might at last come true. You and I both know that my fortune will likely not last, but that is all the more reason to do what I can right now! All I ask is for this one day.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Such a kind soul! I cannot speak for Rodolph, but your words have touched me deeply─as have your actions. While the Thornes are always generous in their provisions for Little Ladies' Day, to receive so many beautiful flowers this year was a true delight.

'''Royal Seneschal''': If I may ask, why did you choose to grow daisies? Your family's crest depicts peach blossoms, does it not? That is why we typically use them as a motif for Little Ladies' Day... Could we have been mistaken all this time?

'''Aldiytha''': I'm glad that you asked, but that is a secret to be revealed at a later time! For now, I would like to begin weaving these daisies into [[Flower Crown (Key Item)|crowns]], so that we may present them to the many princesses of Ul'dah.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Crowns of flowers! What a splendid idea! Please, allow us to assist you. I will set my staff to the task at once.

'''Aldiytha''': Wonderful! The preparations will go so much more smoothly with the royal seneschal's cooperation. Rodolph, pray bear with me a little bit longer.

'''Rodolph''': I...cannot. Though I am loath to disappoint you, as your seneschal, it falls to me to protect you. Your health notwithstanding, it is simply not safe for you to wander the city. We cannot assume that all who walk these streets have motives as pure as your own─Little Ladies' Day or no.

'''Aldiytha''': You can't mean to take me back! Not when I'm so close...

'''Player''': I will accompany you, and guarantee her safety myself. / Allow me to serve as her seneschal today!

===="I will accompany you, and guarantee her safety myself."====
'''Rodolph''': Hmm... I suppose that she would be reasonably safe with you as bodyguard. Very well.

===="Allow me to serve as her seneschal today!"====
'''Rodolph''': Hmm... I have no means to protect her out here in the city, but you have. So if you were to take on that responsibility... Very well, then. But I cannot well cede ''all'' of my duties to you, so I will remain with you until the lady is ready to return home.

'''Aldiytha''': Oh, thank you so very much! Let's go and crown some princesses right away!

'''Rodolph''': Lady Aldiytha! Please do not sprint so!

'''Royal Seneschal''': Wait, we haven't finished making the flower crowns ye─nevermind.

'''Royal Seneschal''': Well, I have no doubt that she will succeed in putting smiles on the faces of many a little lady with her flower crowns─assuming she has them on hand. I will have my staff bring along the ones that are finished so that you can take some with you.

===Finding a Young Princess-to-Be===

'''Little Princess''': Oh, a crown made of flowers! It's so pretty! Do you think that if I wear this, I can be a princess too?

'''Little Princess''': I really can? This is the best day ever! I have to go and tell Father that he's my seneschal now!

'''Aldiytha''': Did you see her smile? It's wonderful that, even hundreds of years later, the Legend of the Lost Lady can bring people such joy.

*Roseline would have you send a “message” to the Qiqirn. Head to the west of the Matron's Lethe and slay four Qiqirn scramblers.

*You have sent the Qiqirn a bloody message. Inform Roseline that the deed is done.

*Roseline thanks you for your help, stressing the necessity of your bloody deeds. She hopes that this example will dissuade Qiqirn thieves from further trespassing in locales frequented by “vengeful” adventurers.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': I've got a new idea, [Player]. I'll leave the ideas to [[Gyofu]]─that is my idea! Yes, yes. Please, come with me. Let us hear what wisdom Gyofu has to offer.

===Speaking with Gyofu===
'''Gyofu''': What is it now? [[Gyorin]] looks more depressed than usual. More down, more despondent.

'''Gyorin''': Gyofu, Gyofu! I have something to ask of you, and I want you to tell me all you know.

'''Gyofu''': That much I can do. What is it, Gyorin? You're not looking your normal chipper self.

'''Gyorin''': I've been reading my emakimono. They tell of so many ways to make one's fortune, and I've tried them all. Each one, every one. But I have yet to meet with any success.

'''Gyorin''': And so I want to ask you, Gyofu. If you were in my barbels, what would you do? Do you know of any path I can walk to quick wealth? Any at all?

'''Gyofu''': A quick path to wealth? Hmmm... I suppose there is one thought that comes to mind. But it is dangerous. Very dangerous, indeed.

'''Gyofu''': Do you know of the [[Castrum Fluminis (Landmark)|ruins]] that lie to the east of here? They were once a [[Garlean]] stronghold. Within them there still remain all manner of weapons, relics from the days of war. At least that is what the rumors say. Yes, yes.

'''Gyofu''': There just might be some treasure there. Weapons so fine they would put even the smiths of [[Doma]] to shame. Maybe, maybe not. I cannot say for sure.

'''Gyofu''': But what I can say for sure is this─those ruins and the way to them are fraught with peril. [[Lupin]] turned looters prowl the place. Monstrous hounds called [[taoquan]] lurk in the shadows. There is no wealth to be had in death, Gyorin. No, no. You should not go to this place.

'''Gyorin''': Treasures! Relics! It is more than I hoped for. Thank you, Gyofu. I knew I was right to ask you.

'''Gyorin''': It would not be a quick path to wealth if it were not dangerous along the way. That, too, was written in my emakimono. I will go to these ruins, and I will find my fortune!

'''Gyorin''': Still, I do not stand much of a chance against Lupin and taoquan and whatever other dangers may come. Hmmm... Of course! You'll come with me, won't you, [Player]? I knew that you would. Yes, yes. Come, then. Let us away!

'''Gyofu''': Gyorin never was one to listen to words of warning. I hate to burden you, but do look after him.

===On the Way===
'''Gyorin''': I've no idea how I made it this far without being seen. Not spotted, not smelled. Maybe I have a talent for going undetected. I wonder if that is a skill I could use to get rich...

'''Gyorin''': I will think more on it later. For now, let us keep the pace. I will make it all the way to the Garlean ruins without a soul other than you and I knowing of it. Yes, yes.

===At the Castrum===
'''Gyorin''': I've made it without a single beast or fiend taking notice of me. All too easy. But now for the hard part─to find whatever treasures await!

'''Gyorin''': By the by, I did see a horde of some rather mean-looking Lupin just over there. Very nasty, very feral.

'''Gyorin''': So, here is my plan. While I search these containers for anything worth selling, you create a diversion and lure the Lupin away from me. Yes, yes. You are an adventurer. Surely you live for quests such as this.

===After the Diversion===
'''Gyorin''': The perfect diversion! Thank you, [Player]. I could hear the din of battle while I searched. I wanted desperately to come and help you, but I managed to stay true to my task. And lo, I found some relics that look quite valuable to my eye.

'''Gyorin''': I will head back to the manor and show them to Gyofu. He will know if there is anything here worth selling. And I have a feeling that this time there is! Must be, has to be!

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Gyofu''': Gyorin is looking quite pleased with himself, isn't he? I wonder what has gotten into him.

'''Gyorin''': Look, Gyofu. I've returned from the Garlean ruins, and here is my haul. What do you think? Do you see anything here that will fetch a fair price at market?

'''Gyofu''': You truly went to the ruins!? ''And'' returned to speak of it? You're a braver [[Namazu]] than most, Gyorin. Courageous, bold. Come, then. Show me what you have.

'''Gyofu''': Hmmm... This piece is very fine, indeed. And this one, as well. A truly fortuitous find.

'''Gyofu''': Well done, Gyorin! Every weapon here looks to be valuable. They need a bit of touching up here and there, but yes, yes, they will fetch you a good deal of coin.

'''Gyofu''': The Garleans have been flushed out from Doma, but the Domans still have need of arms to defend themselves. These weapons you've collected will certainly sell, and sell quickly.

'''Gyorin''': Do you think so? Truly? I finally found something worth selling? Worth peddling, worth vending?

'''Gyofu''': Have you ever known Gyofu to give a false appraisal? No, no. Your dream is at hand, Gyorin. Sell these weapons. Take the coin you make, and with it you can start down the path to becoming a legendary merchant!

'''Gyorin''': I will. I will. Starting this day! I am going to open my own shop. I will name it The New Rich! Customers will flock to my doors from all over [[Yanxia]]. Yes, yes. My business will thrive and my coffers will overflow. And my barbels will guide me to greatness!

'''Gyorin''': Thank you for all your help, [Player]. You have been with me through it all. I will not forget you when I am at the top.

'''Gyorin''': Look, Gyofu. I've returned from the Garlean ruins, and here is my haul. What do you think? Do you see anything here that will fetch a fair price at market?

'''Gyofu''': You truly went to the ruins!? ''And'' returned to speak of it? You're a braver [[Namazu]] than most, Gyorin. Courageous, bold. Come, then. Show me what you have.

'''Gyofu''': Hmmm... This piece is very fine, indeed. And this one, as well. A truly fortuitous find.

'''Gyofu''': Well done, Gyorin! Every weapon here looks to be valuable. They need a bit of touching up here and there, but yes, yes, they will fetch you a good deal of coin.

'''Gyofu''': The Garleans have been flushed out from Doma, but the Domans still have need of arms to defend themselves. These weapons you've collected will certainly sell, and sell quickly.

'''Gyorin''': Do you think so? Truly? I finally found something worth selling? Worth peddling, worth vending?

'''Gyofu''': Have you ever known Gyofu to give a false appraisal? No, no. Your dream is at hand, Gyorin. Sell these weapons. Take the coin you make, and with it you can start down the path to becoming a legendary merchant!

'''Gyorin''': I will. I will. Starting this day! I am going to open my own shop. I will name it The New Rich! Customers will flock to my doors from all over [[Yanxia]]. Yes, yes. My business will thrive and my coffers will overflow. And my barbels will guide me to greatness!

'''Gyorin''': Thank you for all your help, [Player]. You have been with me through it all. I will not forget you when I am at the top.

===Accepting the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': I failed at prospecting, at [[mining]]. I was so sure I would succeed. Never have I been so disappointed in myself.

'''Gyorin''': But still, I will not give up now. If I do, I will never be rich, wealthy. Indeed, I have already thought of another way to make my fortune. Yes, yes.

'''Gyorin''': I turned once more to my emakimono for wisdom. There I found a tale of a merchant who sold the wings and scales of monsters, of beasts.

'''Gyorin''': That will be my next endeavor, and I know this time it will work. Just imagining myself trapping beasts and collecting their parts made my barbels tingle, twinge.

'''Gyorin''': But I am just a [[Namazu]]. I have no hope of hunting these monsters and slaying them in battle. I will have to trap them, ensnare them. And I would like your help in procuring the bait I require for my traps!

'''Gyorin''': There are beasts known as [[Water Serpent|water serpents]] that slither throughout the [[The Glittering Basin|Glittering Basin]]. If you would be so good as to fell three of them, I would have enough meat to set all the traps I need. Yes, yes.

===Delivering the Bait===
'''Gyorin''': How goes the hunt? Were you able to obtain the fresh [[Water Serpent Flesh|water serpent flesh]] as I asked?

'''Gyorin''': Yes, yes. This is precisely what I need! And for my part, I've already finished constructing my traps. All that is left is to venture into the wild and set them. I do not wish to bore you with such a chore. Await me here. I shall return shortly. Yes, yes.

===Awaiting Gyorin's Return===
'''System''': [[Gyorin]] is taking far too long to set his traps. Perhaps something has happened...

===Finding Gyorin===
'''Gyorin''': Th-Thank you, my friend. You have saved me yet again.

'''Gyorin''': I was out simply setting my traps, and then I...I suppose I got a bit too excited and stepped into one of them. How embarrassing, how shameful.

'''Gyorin''': I am finding that an effective trap is truly a dangerous thing. Yes, yes. I do believe I must abandon this trapping endeavor.

'''Gyorin''': I put faith in my emakimono and tried several ways to make my fortune, my fame. Yet none of them have gone well. None at all.

'''Gyorin''': I must return home and speak with [[Gyofu]]. He is very smart, very clever. Perhaps he has some idea as to what path I might tread.

'''Gyorin''': My failures are coming in quick succession, but I will not give up. And I hope you will not give up on me, [Player]. For now, I shall return to my warehouse. Yes, yes.

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': My wounds have been seen to, tended to. I was told they are not grievous. I owe that blessing to you, [Player]. Had you not found me as quickly as you did... I fear the worst may have happened.

*[[Gyorin]] has set out to prospect choice mining spots. Travel to the [[The Glittering Basin|Glittering Basin]] and speak with him.

*Gyorin boasts to you of the [[Namazu]] heightened sense of detection gained by way of the glorious barbels about their head and face. He claims to be using this gift to find precious ores for mining. Travel to the Glittering Basin and speak with Gyorin once more.

*Gyorin informs you he has found a choice mining location, but that he is unable to reach it due to a host of monsters in the way. Clear his path of two [[Ruffled Hornbill|ruffled hornbills]] at the Glittering Basin.

*You have slain all the ruffled hornbills that obstructed Gyorin. Speak with him once more at the Glittering Basin.

*Gyorin asks that you head back to his [[Yuzuka Manor|manor]] while he mines the ores he has found. Travel to the destination and await his return.

*Gyorin has returned home and shown his fresh haul to an expert in mineral appraisals named [[Gyofu]]. According to Gyofu's trained eye, none of the ores Gyorin brought back from the Glittering Basin are of any value. Gyorin leaves in low spirits. Travel to the Glittering Basin and speak with him.

*Gyorin reaches the conclusion that perhaps his barbels are not made for detecting valuable minerals. He tells you he will once again seek another way to make his name as a merchant.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': I am ready to begin my life as a [[miner]], a prospector. Yes, yes. I mean to search for my fortune, my fame. I am sure it lies to the west of our manor.

'''Gyorin''': I will go ahead of you, [Player]. But please, do come and find me. Yes, yes.

===At the Glittering Basin===
'''Gyorin''': Where to look, where to look...

'''Gyorin''': [Player]! You gave me a start, a fright. But I am glad to see you. It was so good of you to come, to visit.

'''Gyorin''': I am prospecting for ores as we speak, using my fortune-seeking barbels. Yes, yes. The [[Namazu]] barbel is a sensitive thing. Mine will detect where the most precious of ores lie.

'''Gyorin''': I do believe I found something! I feel a tingle, a twinge in my barbels.

'''Gyorin''': They tell me there is great mineral wealth to the north. I must go, I must away!

===Locating Ore===
'''Gyorin''': It is all well and good to have found a choice mining location, but I am afraid my hand is stayed. There are a host of nasty beasts lingering, prowling. I can't get to the ore for fear of my life! Please, [Player], you must help me.

===After the Fight===
'''Gyorin''': I knew those monstrosities would pose no match for you. Yes, yes, no match at all. The way is now clear. Leave the rest to me!

'''Gyorin''': I will mine these lands and amass a haul of ore the likes of which [[Yanxia]] has never seen! But it will require some time, some patience. Yes, yes. You should return to my warehouse and await me, [Player]. I wish not to bore you with my digging, my picking.

===Back at the Warehouse===
'''Gyorin''': The deed is done, finished. Yes, yes. And what a haul we have! Come, [Player], and behold the fruits of my labor.

'''Gyorin''': Look at how they sparkle, how they shine. I have no doubt these ores will see me to greatness, to fame.

'''Gyorin''': I must show them to [[Gyofu]]. Yes, yes. He is very knowledgeable about the selling of ores. His appraisal will be most reassuring.

'''Gyorin''': Gyofuuu! I have something for you to inspect, to see.

'''Gyorin''': You certainly are in good spirits. What is it, [[Gyorin]]?

'''Gyorin''': I have been mining, and brought my first haul of findings for your appraisal, your valuation. Tell me, how much [[gil]] will these ores fetch at market?

'''Gyorin''': Is that where you've been off to all this time? Well then, let us have a look, shall we? Yes, yes.

'''Gyorin''': You want the truth of me, yes Gyorin?

'''Gyorin''': And nothing besides. Yes, yes, tell me your honest opinion.

'''Gyorin''': It is difficult to place a value on these ores you have. Quite difficult indeed. And that is because they are so very, very...

'''Gyorin''': Worthless! You dragged a veritable pile of garbage across Yanxia and into our [[Yuzuka Manor|manor]]!

'''Gyorin''': W-Worthless? But my barbels tingled, twinged... I would have staked my life that these ores were valuable.

'''Gyorin''': But thank the gods I did not. I suppose I must find another way, another means, to make my fortune. Thank you, Gyofu. I do appreciate your honesty, your candor. Yes, yes.

'''Gyorin''': Gyorin seemed to be quite down. I hate to be the one to tell him, but someone had to. Those rocks he had were worthless.

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': I used my barbels to detect the ores just like my master taught me. Yes, yes, I did. <sigh> I suppose the barbels of my line are not fit for mining.

'''Gyorin''': Still, my dream is my dream. I will not give up yet. I will find another path to greatness. And when I do, you will be the first to know, to hear, [Player].

*Gyorin shows you his proud store of treasures and trinkets, which to the discerning eye is unequivocally a midden of unsellable garbage and refuse. Accepting of your harsh appraisal, he resolves to take up fishing to source his mercantile endeavors. Speak with Gyorin at the Glittering Basin once more.

*At the outset of his new life of fishing, Gyorin managed to drop his precious and prized pole. Search the Glittering Basin for Gyorin's [[Gyorin's Fishing Rod|fishing rod]].

*You have found Gyorin's fishing rod. Return it to him at the Glittering Basin.

*You have returned Gyorin's fishing rod to him. He confides in you that since dropping the pole, he has been considering the pursuit of other means to make his way as a merchant. Travel to the Glittering Basin and speak with him once again.

*After turning to the sagacious teachings written in his emakimono, Gyorin decides to engage in the prospecting and mining of mineral wealth.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': You look not as one who hails from here. May I inquire, are you a traveler, an adventurer? If so, there is a deed I would ask of you.

'''Gyorin''': But before we delve into details, introductions are in order. I am [[Gyorin]], Gyorin I am. I live in this shack with others like myself. And I, like many, have a dream. Yes, yes.

'''Gyorin''': I aspire to become the greatest of merchants! To be rich, to be wealthy, beyond compare. And then to have an apron made for me that is mine and mine alone. Yes, yes, that is my dream.

'''Gyorin''': Among the many treasures in our shack are a collection of emakimono that someone left behind. Beautiful pictures, wise words. One tells the ancient tale of a poor merchant who rose to great heights. Yes, yes. Ever since reading that, I have dreamt of doing the same.

'''Gyorin''': In that very tale, an able adventurer much like yourself appeared. Quite clever, quite knowing. He gifted to the merchant his wisdom, his ways. And lo, here you are! It can be no mere coincidence. It is fate, destiny!

'''Gyorin''': You must forgive my manners. In my excitement I neglected to ask your name, your title. Might I have it?

'''Gyorin''': [Player], is it? Then I shall call you [Player]. Yes, yes, that will do nicely. Now, where were we?

'''Gyorin''': Ah, of course. I was hoping to enlist your aid in my rise through the merchant ranks. I'm afraid I am quite forgetful these days. I am, I am.

'''Gyorin''': My storehouse lies not far from here. Would you do me the honor of paying a visit? I keep all my wares there. My treasures, my trinkets. I should very much like to hear your honest appraisal. Yes, yes.

'''Gyorin''': Come, then, [Player]. You need only follow me. This way, this way.

===At the Storehouse===
'''Gyorin''': I'll be right back with it. You need only wait a moment!

'''Gyorin''': Here we are! My pride, my passion. This is a collection of everything I have come to gather, to own. It is quite remarkable, is it not? Amazing, astounding.

'''Gyorin''': Here we have grilled mayflies. Oh, and here some desiccated toad. And this lovely vase here simply begs to have things placed within it, does it not? Yes, yes, it does.

'''Gyorin''': Well, what do you think? Come now, be honest, be true. What do your eyes see that will fetch a fair price at market? Hm?

'''Player''': None. There is nothing here I would part with a single [[gil]] for. / Too many to count. It is truly a trove fit for a dragon.

'''Gyorin''': You are very gracious, very kind. Just as the adventurer in the emakimono. But your eyes betray your words. It is plain you see nothing of value here, nothing of worth.

'''Gyorin''': Nevertheless, a dream is a dream. And I shall not relent. No, no. I will find another path to greatness, another way to obtain what people desire. For I am destined to be a merchant of renown. Yes, yes!

'''Gyorin''': Now, bearing all that in mind... Whatever shall I do? Hm, hm?

'''Gyorin''': Yes, yes, I do believe an idea has come to me. Fish! People eat fish, and so it stands to reason they must buy them, purchase them.

'''Gyorin''': I will take to fishing to provision my own supply, my own stock. I will bring my catch to you, [Player], and with your adventuring wisdom you can tell me which fish will sell and which will not.

'''Gyorin''': Your kind and mine have very different tastes, different likes. Yes, yes, we do. It will fall to you to enlighten me as to which fish agree with the palates of men. Until then, I shall await you by the water!

===At the Docks===
'''Gyorin''': Oh, this will not serve. It will not serve at all. No, no.

'''Gyorin''': I set out to fish, just as we had spoken about when last we met. But I am ashamed to admit, I...I slipped on some wet stone and [[Gyorin's Fishing Rod|my rod]], my pole, it... I dropped it, lost it. Yes, yes, it is gone.

'''Gyorin''': And before you ask, no, no I could not retrieve it. I am a [[Namazu]] of the city, not of the wild. To cast myself into a running river is tantamount to taking my own life!

'''Gyorin''': Will you help me in this, [Player]? Will you find my rod and retrieve it, return it? It is very dear to me. Yes, yes, it is. Please, I beg this of you. I know not where else to turn.

===Returning the Rod===
'''Gyorin''': My precious pole, my irreplaceable rod. I am but half a man without it.

'''Gyorin''': My rod! You found it! As I knew that you would. I owe you a debt of gratitude, of thanks. Yes, yes, I do.

'''Gyorin''': Yet, I confess, I admit, I've been thinking on things since I lost it. Yes, yes, much thinking. It occurred to me, all the Namazu I know are fishmongers. They are, they are, each and every one.

'''Gyorin''': That fact led me to recall another passage I read among my emakimono. It said for one to make their mercantile mark, one must offer something no other merchant does. A new product, a new service.

'''Gyorin''': And so I have made up my mind. I have, I have. I will look for another way to make my fortune. I have given it much thought, but there is much more to give. I will return to my shack and dwell on this some more.

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Gyorin''': [Player]! You may be happy to hear, joyous to hear. I have put faith in my emakimono. Their wisdom, their insight. They have led me to a new calling! Yes, yes.

'''Gyorin''': I have learned there is a pretty price to be paid for certain ores, certain minerals. And so I shall become a [[miner]], a prospector.

'''Gyorin''': I fear I may inconvenience you again in this endeavor, as I did in the last, the previous. I only hope you are willing to lend your wisdom again. Yes, yes.

Unable to bear the thought of love's flame sputtering out on this most holy of [[House Valentione]] occasions, Astrid begs you chase [[Lisie]] towards the [[The Whistling Miller|Whistling Miller]]. Meanwhile, she will attempt to persuade [[Taggy]] to salvage her friendship before she departs for far-off [[Ul'dah]].

*You speak with the distraught Lisie, and she takes great comfort in sharing her feelings with you. Mortified by her outburst, Lisie returns to the amphitheatre to apologize to Astrid.

*The two friends have been reunited for the moment, but not entirely convinced by Astrid's suggested course of action. They ask that you participate in the [[The Valentione's Ceremony|ceremony]] yourself so that they can observe your performance and gain a better idea of where they went wrong.When you are ready, the [[House Valentione Servant|House Valentione servant]] will escort you to the venue. At the ceremony's conclusion, you will receive a [[Valentione's Day Chocolate|Valentione's Day chocolate]], which Astrid bids you bring to her.

*Astrid praises your performance in the ceremony, and assures Lisie and Taggy that they are more than capable of the same degree of patience and consideration. After a brief and open discussion, the two friends realize they were approaching their coming separation with different mindsets, which thus affected their affinity results. Astrid is thrilled to see their friendship forged anew, and showers upon you, her champion of love, all the blessings of House Valentione.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Astrid''': Do you not feel it in the air, adventurer? 'Tis [[Valentione's Day]], and love, uh...runs rampant through the streets!

'''Astrid''': We of [[House Valentione]] have returned to spread our message of ''Ardor and Affection'', and honor the pure pursuits of our ancestor, Countess [[Arabelle]].

'''Astrid''': The true heart of the festivities, of course, is the [[The Valentione's Ceremony|Valentione's Ceremony]]!

'''Astrid''': I shudder to think what might have befallen this wondrous tradition had [you/your fellow adventurers] not offered me a helping hand the last time. Thanks to [you/them], however, the people of [[Gridania]] were enraptured by the results!

'''Astrid''': Yet one must always strive to dream bigger, wouldn't you agree?

'''Astrid''': I aspire to bring joy to more folk than ever before, and for that I shall need the aid of a stalwart assistant. A champion of love, if you will!

'''Astrid''': Pray say you'll help me─I've learned only too well how foolish it is to flail about by oneself...

'''Astrid''': Oh, praise your generous soul! I am sure that with your discerning adventurer's eye, you will soon spy those most in need of a friendly shove towards love!

'''Astrid''': To that end, I would have you hand deliver these [[Ceremony Invitation (A Many-splendored Thing)|ceremony invitations]] to those who seem especially bereft of the ties of affection.

'''System''': [[Astrid]] hands you a sheaf of invitations penned in a shaky hand and illustrated with crude pictures of what might generously be termed “[[moogle]]s.”

'''Ceremony Invitation''': ''Be it familial or romantic, betwixt lifelong friends or serendipitous strangers, all love is to be celebrated! Join us in [[Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre]] and partake in the festivities!''

'''Astrid''': As you can see, I'm hoping to draw in a more varied crowd this year.

'''Astrid''': The Valentione's Ceremony shouldn't be only for those who have exchanged the vows of matrimony...

'''Astrid''': It...it should be for everyone! Yes! (Light and airy, Astrid, light and airy.)

'''Astrid''': Go forth, my champion of love! Scour the corners of Gridania for those who seem bereft of affection and attention!

'''Astrid''': Sweep through the streets of Gridania, and deliver those invitations to the emotionally downtrodden!

'''Astrid''': <sigh> ...I know not how much longer I can keep up this cheery facade. But I must not disappoint [[Lisette de Valentione|Sister]]! (Smile and wave, Astrid, smile and wave.)

===The Gloomy Gridanian===
'''Gloomy Gridanian''': What can I do for you, [mister/miss]? It's been a dreary morning, to be honest, and I'd welcome a spot of excitement.

'''Gloomy Gridanian''': ...Oh, the Valentione's Day celebrations. I've no one to take, so it's not really for someone like m─

'''Gloomy Gridanian''': Hm? What's this about ''serendipitous strangers''? P-Perhaps I'll just drop by for a moment or two, then...

===The Grizzled Gridanian===
'''Grizzled Gridanian''': Now, what could a [strapping/lovely] young [lad/lass] like you want with an old grumbler like me?

'''Grizzled Gridanian''': Well, that's a charming little invitation, isn't it? Seems they've made Valentione's Day more of a family affair.

'''Grizzled Gridanian''': ...I wonder if my grandchild might enjoy the celebrations. It's my first time being a grandparent, you see, and I never know what to do with the wee scamp. Could be worth a look!

===Meeting Taggy===
'''Taggy''': Yes? Can we help you with something?

'''Taggy''': Ah, the Valentione's Day celebrations. Isn't that an event for couples, though?

'''Lisie''': But, look! The invitation says anyone is welcome this year. We could go together! You know, before you leave me behind and move to [[Ul'dah]]...

'''Taggy''': [[Lisie]], please, do we have to discuss this in front of strangers?

'''Taggy''': I'm sorry, I'm leaving to begin an apprenticeship in [[Weaver|weaving]], and someone is having trouble being happy for me...

'''Taggy''': Still, I've always wanted to try my hand at that beautiful ceremony, and it ''would'' make for a nice send-off. Shall we go?

===Returning to Astrid===
'''Astrid''': There [he/she] is! Our champion of love! Your honest words and gentle demeanor have encouraged all manner of townspeople to attend our event.

'''Astrid''': There was one [[Gloomy Gridanian|lonely gentleman]] who seemed terribly unsure until I introduced him to another forlorn participant. 'Twas a Valentione miracle how swiftly their shyness melted away!

'''Astrid''': I also spied an [[Grizzled Gridanian|old man]] and his granddaughter, who barely spoke two words to each other when they arrived. But by the end of the ceremony, they were giggling together like a couple of mischievous moogles!

'''Astrid''': And even as we speak, a pair of lovely lasses are enjoying our affinity trials. They should be back any moment now!

'''???''': Ugh, that was horrible! How could we be so out of tune with each other!? I wish we'd never come!

'''Lisie''': Well, what did you expect, [[Taggy]]? You just kept forging ahead without even looking to see where I was...

'''Taggy''': Well, you were plodding along like an overfed [[adamantoise]]! We were never going to reach the goal at that pace!

'''Lisie''': And simply rushing through was the better strategy? If you had slowed down a touch, we might have had a better chance of winning the trial! Ugh, never mind...

'''Astrid''': That isn't how it was supposed to go! And they were so excited to try the ceremony together... What could have happened to put them at such odds in there?

'''Astrid''': They said something about “marking the occasion.” Do you have any idea as to what this occasion might be?

'''Astrid''': I see. They wanted to do something special before Taggy left for Ul'dah...

'''Astrid''': 'Tis unthinkable that these close friends would fail the ceremony so completely. 'Tis all a simple misunderstanding, I'm sure of it.

'''Astrid''': Nay, I cannot bear to think of them parting ways like this...

'''Astrid''': And what is more, I have a duty as an emissary of House Valentione. Adventurer, you and I will see the rift between these ladies mended! Understood!?

'''Player''': Understood! / It’s not our place to intervene. / What happened to “light and airy”?

===="Understood!"====
'''Astrid''': Oh, thank you! I knew your kind heart would not let you ignore such a travesty!

===="What happened to “light and airy”?"====
'''Astrid''': There is no time for flowery phrasing! We have to avert this Valentione's Day disaster before it is too late!

'''Astrid''': Oh, thank you! I knew your kind heart would not let you ignore such a travesty!

'''Astrid''': I will speak to Taggy, whilst you catch up to Lisie. The last I saw, she was running off towards the [[The Whistling Miller|Whistling Miller]]!

'''Astrid''': Lisie was running in the direction of the Whistling Miller. If you hurry, you should be able to catch her before it is too late!

===Finding Lisie===
'''Lisie''': Oh, I know you─you're that adventurer who was handing out ceremony invitations.

'''Player''': I came at Astrid’s behest. / This time I come not to invite, but to plead on love’s behalf…

===="I came at Astrid’s behest."====
'''Lisie''': Ah... You overheard our argument, didn't you? How awfully embarrassing.

===="This time I come not to invite, but to plead on love’s behalf…"====
'''Lisie''': Ah... You overheard our argument, didn't you? How awfully embarrassing.

'''Lisie''': Taggy and I have been friends since we were children, and this is the first time we are to live so far apart. I just...I wanted these last moments to be special.

'''Lisie''': But in my efforts to create the perfect memory, I may have been ''too'' cautious. And that is when the problems began...

'''Lisie''': <sigh> I feel a burden has lifted from my shoulders. Thank you for listening, adventurer.

'''Lisie''': I feel I should apologize to that tiny Valentione girl for our wretched behavior. I assume she is still in the amphitheatre?

===Back at the Amphitheatre===
'''Taggy''': That Valentione girl is a passionate little thing, isn't she? I was subjected to a tearful request to make peace with Lisie...

'''Lisie''': Thank you again for listening. I've yet to make my apologies to young Astrid here...

'''Astrid''': My thanks, adventurer. You have brought back Lisie, and given these two friends the chance to undo the hurt which was done!

'''Astrid''': Attempt the ceremony once more, and let angry words be forgotten!

'''Lisie''': I only returned to offer an apology for souring the day with our quarrel. Testing our affinity again will likely give us the same result, or worse...

'''Taggy''': And I only came back because your plaintive tears would be satisfied with nothing less. I did not agree to another run through that trial.

'''Taggy''': But, perhaps... Perhaps if we could see how others completed the ceremony, we might stand a better chance.

'''Astrid''': Then I should be happy to serve as an example! Allow me to fetch my sibling, Lisette, and we shall display the pinnacle of sisterly affection!

'''Taggy''': Uh, whilst we appreciate the offer, I wonder if a performance by the very people who run the ceremony might be a little ''too'' perfect for us to emulate...

'''Astrid''': Oh... I hadn't thought of that...

'''Lisie''': What if we have the adventurer here show us how it's done? You already know our situation, so would you mind helping us out a little more?

'''Lisie''': I doubt it matters who you take─I imagine someone of your kind nature could produce a good result with almost anyone.

'''Astrid''': What a fabulous idea! I'm certain if you see how effortlessly [he/she] navigates the twists and turns of affinity, then you'll soon find yourself yearning to take another turn!

'''Astrid''': Your quest awaits, my champion of love! Find a partner with whom you wish to attempt the test, and return with a [[Valentione's Day Chocolate|Valentione's Day chocolate]] as proof of your deed!

'''Taggy''': Thank you for doing this for us. We only want to see how other participants handle the course, so please enjoy the ceremony in whatever way you normally would.

'''System''': Seasonal Event Instance Unlocked

'''System''': You now have access to the Valentione's Ceremony seasonal instance! To enter the venue, speak with the [[House Valentione Servant|House Valentione servant]] at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.

'''System''': The Valentione's Ceremony is an instance designed for a party of two. There are no class, job, or level requirements for participation.

'''System''': In the event that you register for the ceremony alone, your partner will be found via the matching system.

'''Astrid''': We shall all be watching you with heart-shaped eyes, and waiting for you to return with your victorious piece of Valentione's Day chocolate!

'''Taggy''': Show us how it's done, adventurer. Have you chosen a partner yet?

'''Lisie''': The affinity test can be so intimidating. I wonder how they will rate you...

===Finishing the Quest===
'''Astrid''': Welcome back! We were all holding our breath in anticipation of your success! You've brought the chocolate, yes...?

'''Astrid''': Thank you, adventurer─such an inspiring performance!

'''Astrid''': As I am sure you saw, successful completion of the Valentione's Ceremony hinges upon showing your partner a certain degree of patience and consideration.

'''Astrid''': But I refuse to believe such fine friends as you are incapable of such a feat. Nay, 'twas simply that you approached the challenge with two slightly different mindsets.

'''Astrid''': Thus, I implore you...beseech you...beg you...to give your love one more chance...

'''Lisie''': I think you've the right of it, Astrid, thank you.

'''Lisie''': It was my fault, Taggy. I was more concerned with the result than simply enjoying the event itself. I wanted so badly to make our last memory together a good one...

'''Taggy''': Our last memory...? Ah, ''that's'' why you were being so anxious about our every move.

'''Taggy''': It was my fault, too, then─I didn't realize how much this meant to you.

'''Taggy''': But I never thought this would be our final farewell. After all, I can always hop on an [[airship]] and come back to visit.

'''Lisie''': Oh...I suppose that's true. What a silly goose I've been.

'''Lisie''': Will you take another turn with me, then? Just for fun this time?

'''Taggy''': Of course I will.

'''Lisie''': Our thanks, Astrid. If you'd not been so unwilling to give up on our friendship, we may have parted ways for good.

'''Lisie''': Our thanks to you as well, adventurer.

'''Astrid''': Whilst we're speaking of gratitude, I cannot express how much House Valentione owes you for making our event such a grand success!

'''Astrid''': Thank you, advent─

'''Astrid''': Ahem. Your deeds have warmed our hearts, my champion of love! May ardor and affection follow you this day, and all the days to follow!

===After the Quest===
'''Astrid''': You have discharged your duties, my champion of love! Go now, and enjoy the celebrations with a heart full of frolicsome fun.

'''Astrid''': Lisette eagerly awaits those who would know their fortunes! Or if you would undertake the ceremony once more, a House Valentione servant stands ready to conduct you to the venue!

'''Taggy''': Did Lisie tell you!? Our next attempt at the ceremony was smooth as Ul'dahn silk! In fact, it was such a lark, I think we might go through again!

'''Lisie''': Taggy has embraced the spirit of the celebrations with more enthusiasm than I expected...but it does bring me joy to see her so joyous.

'''Hortefense''': Thanks to your timely aid, our celebrations have reached new heights of song-worthy passion!

'''Hortefense''': And yet I cannot help but worry that those less pure of heart turn these giddy festivities to their own unsavory purposes...

'''Lisette de Valentione''': Valentione's Day is upon us once more, and I, Lisette de Valentione, have come to fill hearts the realm over with the warmth of love, passionate and pure!

'''Lisette de Valentione''': How stands the reservoir of rapture within ''your'' bosom, adventurer? Whomever your favored partner might be, our fortune-tellers can help sound the depths of your unplumbed affinity!

==Journal==
*A delegation led by the [[Inoshishi Bugyo|inoshishi bugyo]] has come from the [[Far East]] in the hopes of sharing their customs with the people of [[Eorzea]] during the coming [[Heavensturn]] festival. For reasons unbeknownst to him, however, the people of [[Limsa Lominsa]] have failed to show even the faintest glimmer of interest. To that end he turns to you, an adventurer native to Eorzea, in the hopes of winning the townsfolk over. Together with his faithful boar, [[Ibukimaru]], he asks you to spread word of their plans for the festival, and the advent cakes that will be handed out to any who should come to partake in their revelry. ※Please note that you will not be able to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For more details, check the Lodestone.

*You find Ibukimaru in the company of a [[Troubled Townsman|potential celebrant]], though it is plain he cares not for the boar's affectionate glances. His discomfort soon gives way to enthusiasm, however, when you explain the bugyo's plans for Heavensturn. Before taking his leave, he asks if you are certain about this year's totem animal. As he tells it, word has spread about town that it is the year of the cat. Hopefully this rumor has not yet spread too far.

*Ibukimaru's attention is drawn next to a [[Melancholy Maiden|melancholy maiden]], all by her lonesome. Upon hearing of the Heavensturn celebration, a glimmer of hope returns to her eyes, for she was all but certain the event had been canceled. She quickly takes her leave, thoughts likely swimming with thoughts of rice cakes, but the cause for her misunderstanding remains a mystery.

*You catch up to Ibukimaru and discover him in the company of a rather [[Livid Lominsan|disgruntled Roegadyn]] who asks for assistance in doing away with your boar companion. When you tell him Ibukimaru is part of the Heavensturn celebration, he is utterly flabbergasted. It seems someone convinced him the boar had caused a commotion so great the festival was called off. The inoshishi bugyo is sure to take comfort in knowing these untruths have been exposed.

*While relieved by your report, the inoshishi bugyo is at a loss as to who would try to sabotage the festival. Enter the [[Neko Bugyo|neko bugyo]]. He believes the cat has been denied its rightful place as a totem animal and intends to seek his revenge by ruining this year's celebration. In fact, he claims to have made powerful allies in Eorzea who will help see his plans come to fruition. No sooner does he take his leave than the [[Mochi Daikan|mochi daikan]] arrives bearing terrible news. The mochi pounding sites are under siege by strange, feline creatures, and with no mochi for advent cakes, there can be no festival. And so you set out to save the mochi by participating in the [[FATE]] “[[A Mochi Catastrophe]]” in one of the following locations: southeast of the [[Zephyr Gate]] in [[Middle La Noscea|middle La Noscea]]; east of the [[The Salt Strand|Salt Strand]] in [[Lower La Noscea|lower La Noscea]].

*Amidst flying fur and perilous pounding, you somehow emerge unscathed with sufficient mochi for the bugyo's advent cakes. He is certain to be relieved to hear this.

*Thanks to your efforts, the Heavensturn celebration is off to a rousing start, but the neko bugyo is not yet willing to admit defeat. When his [[gaelicat]] cohort fails to come to his aid, however, he collapses to the ground, lamenting the shattered dreams of cats everywhere. He begins to reminisce about a simpler time, when all he wanted was to share his love of cats with the world. Suddenly inspired by this stroll down memory lane, he proclaims he will see that dream realized, even if it requires nefarious means to do so. The neko bugyo then takes his leave, vowing revenge against the boar come next Heavensturn. A pity it will not be next year's totem animal. Nevertheless, this year's festival is safe, and the people of Limsa Lominsa can celebrate in peace.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': Hmmm... You have the bearing of one who has seen more than their fair share of danger. Are you, perchance, one of the adventurers these lands are famous for? If so, I could certainly use your help.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': I am the [[Inoshishi Bugyo|inoshishi bugyo]], part of a [[Far East]]ern delegation come to share our [[Heavensturn]] customs with the good people of [[Eorzea]].

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': I have always found it fascinating that our celebrations of this momentous occasion are so similar, and yet so different. You see, in the Far East it is not a deity, but a totem animal which serves as herald for the coming year.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': And at long last, the boar shall ascend to its rightful place in the heavens. To mark the occasion, I commissioned kabuto in its likeness, that all might bask in the glory of this most majestic and jovial of creatures.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': Ahem, but I digress. I am in dire need of assistance, and would gladly offer you one of these celebratory helms as compensation for your time.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': The task I have in mind should be markedly simpler than the adventures you're accustomed to. All I ask is you take my faithful companion [[Ibukimaru]] in tow, and spread word that we will be handing out advent mochi-rice cakes as part of our celebration of Heavensturn.

'''Ibukimaru''': Oink!

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': Speaking of rice cakes, are you familiar with the art of mochi pounding?

'''Player''': Why, yes, I am! / Mochi pounding?

===="Why, yes, I am!"====
'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': My, my. That I should find an adventurer versed in the traditions of my homeland. The blessings of the boar are already upon us!

===="Mochi pounding?"====
'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': Allow me to explain. Mochi pounding is the process by which we make our advent cakes. Freshly steamed rice is placed in a large mortar, then beaten into a sticky dough using a hammer. Though quite simple, these treats are a cornerstone of the celebration.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': To ensure our mochi is pounded to perfection, I've enlisted the aide of a cylopes who should be hammering away as we speak right outside the city.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': Yet for all my efforts, no one has shown even the faintest glimmer of interest. That is why I would ask you to go in my stead. I sincerely doubt the good people of [[Limsa Lominsa]] would deny the invitation of an adventurer. Especially one in the company of dear Ibukimaru, here.

'''Ibukimaru''': Oink, oink!

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': Ah, he seems rather eager to get started. An excellent sign. I leave the rest to you, then.

'''Inoshishi Bugyo''': If you can garner interest in even a handful of people, I would be ever so grateful.

===The Troubled Townsman===
'''Ibukimaru''': Oink!

'''Troubled Townsman''': Ahem. Would you happen to know what this boar's doing here? I know a come-hither look when I see one, and the way he's been drinking me in is making me uncomfortable...

'''Troubled Townsman''': Heavensturn, you say? And there'll be cakes? You can be sure I'll attend and eat my fair share.

'''Troubled Townsman''': But are you certain it's to be the year of the boar? Word about town is it's the year of the cat... Then again, I never could remember the animals they celebrate over in the Far East. At any rate, thanks for the invitation.

'''Ibukimaru''': Oink...

===The Melancholy Maiden===
'''Ibukimaru''': Oink!

'''Melancholy Maiden''': ...Yes, what is it? <sigh> Not more bad news, I hope.

'''Melancholy Maiden''': They're making ready for the Heavensturn celebration? But I thought it was canceled.

'''Melancholy Maiden''': I've been waiting all year for another chance to eat those delicious, sticky cakes. I can hardly wait!

'''Ibukimaru''': Oink! Oink, oink!

===The Livid Lominsan===
'''Ibukimaru''': Oink!

'''Livid Lominsan''': Oh good, an adventurer. Would you mind giving me a hand doing away with this damned boar?

'''Livid Lominsan''': What do you mean he's part of the Heavensturn celebration? The way I heard it, the whole thing's been called off on account of this brute causing all manner of trouble for the Far Eastern delegation.

'''Livid Lominsan''': Hmmm. You've an honest face, so I'd like to believe you. Well, if there really is going to be a celebration, I'd be a fool to pass up the chance to have more of those cakes.

'''Ibukimaru''': Oink!

===Reporting to the Bugyo===
Ibukimaru: Oink!

Inoshishi Bugyo: Ah, you are returned. Were the townsfolk receptive to our offerings of sweets and merrymaking?

Inoshishi Bugyo: It would seem someone has gone to great lengths to mislead the good people of Limsa Lominsa. But who would have cause to disrupt the Heavensturn celebration?

???: Nyahahaha! Like kittens drawn to gaelicatnip, they played right into my hands.

Inoshishi Bugyo: <gasp> [[Neko Bugyo|Neko bugyo]]! What are you doing here!?

Neko Bugyo: As if I could stand idly by as you propagate this farce you call tradition, denying the regal feline the love and devotion it deserves!

Inoshishi Bugyo: You poor, misguided soul. Did you truly believe our plans could be sabotaged with a few baseless rumors?

Neko Bugyo: You underestimate me at your peril, inoshishi bugyo. I have gained powerful new allies here in Eorzea. Allies that have poised themselves to pounce on the very heart of your little ''celebration''

Neko Bugyo: The cat shall yet have his cream. Just you wait and see. Nyahahaha!

Inoshishi Bugyo: My apologies, friend. 'Tis clear now that trouble has followed me here to Eorzea.

Inoshishi Bugyo: As I mentioned before, custom dictates we name a totem animal to herald the coming of the new year. It is said the kami descended from the heavens and bestowed this duty upon twelve animals, who would serve one after the other in a cycle that repeats to this very day. And while the truth of this tale has long since been lost to time, one thing is certain─the cat was not among the chosen, for there is no year of the cat.

Inoshishi Bugyo: Even so, there are those who believe the cat was spurned by the other beasts, and robbed of its place in the heavens. Seeking revenge for this alleged betrayal, these zealots labor tirelessly to foil any celebration that proclaims the ascent of a totem animal. The neko bugyo is their leader.

Inoshishi Bugyo: That he should come all this way, and with allies... This bodes ill.

Mochi Daikan: Grave tidings from the pounding sites! Both areas are infested with strange cat-like creatures attacking any and everything that approaches the mortars. Between them and the thunderous hammers of the cyclopes, collecting mochi for our advent cakes is all but impossible.

Inoshishi Bugyo: The advent cakes, of course! There can be no celebration without a sufficient store.

Mochi Daikan: Surely there must be something we can do. Or perhaps... Hm?

Mochi Daikan: [Player]! Yes, I thought I recognized you. No doubt those hellcats would seem more like kittens to a hardened adventurer such as you. Please say you will help us.

Inoshishi Bugyo: We would be most grateful for any assistance you can offer.

Mochi Daikan: Excellent. I shall return to the pounding sites and make ready for your arrival.

Ibukimaru: Oink, oink!

Mochi Daikan: You wish to join me? Very well. Come, Ibukimaru, let us be off!

Inoshishi Bugyo: Though the task may seem daunting, there are but two pounding sites.
