Northward — House Durendaire Maxim

Born in the same year as his House Fortemps counterpart, Count Charlemend de Durendaire has, for decades, been engaged in a political rivalry with Lord Edmont. Yet his staunch opposition is not born out of mere stubbornness. Indeed, he once shared the Count de Fortemps’s desire to open Ishgard’s borders and welcome foreign influences. Lord Charlemend’s position on such matters changed after his firstborn son took to sea on a voyage to broaden his horizons, only to be set upon by pirates and never seen again.

Following that tragic incident, the count grew distrustful of outsiders, and adopted far more conservative positions in line with established policy. However, he is not blind to the changing times, and in light of recent historical revelations, he resolved to support the popular Ser Aymeric, in a pragmatic bid to retain influence and preserve some semblance of the status quo.

Crafting Deliverables

  • In a snow-swept nation such as ours, nobles ad commoners alike are partial to a steaming cup of tea served with sweets. These items will allow us to host an event that our patients will enjoy. Now, if I might take a closer look...
  • <standard response>
• Art Supplies

Gathering Deliverables

• Patient Necessity Materials
• Medical Supply Materials
  • From metal receptacles to cloth bandages, medical equipment must be made of quality materials. Having come from your hands, I expect this will be more than satisfactory, but it would be remiss of me not to perform an inspection. If you'll excuse me...
  • <standard response>
• Rehabilitation Aid Materials
• High Tea Ingredients
  • In a snow-swept nation such as ours, nobles and commoners alike are partial to a steaming cup of tea served with sweets. Using this ingredient, we can prepare a toothsome syrup that our patients will enjoy. Now, if I might take a closer look...
  • <standard response>
• Art Supplies Materials
  • Painting provides not only a means of recreation, but rehabilitation besides. With this ingredient, we can prepare colors for our patients to use in their artistic endeavors. Now, if I might take a closer look...
  • Hm, yes, very fine stuff indeed! It will help to bring a touch of joy to our patients' lives!

Fishing Deliverables

• Dravanian Scallop
  • Brought us a scallop, have you? Excellent. The infirmary ever has need of soap, and the powder obtained from its shell will make a goodly amount of the stuff. Now, if I might take a closer look...
  • <standard response>
• Cloud Kelp
• Scarlet Frog
• White Clam
  • I am told that, in the Far East, it is customary to burn incense when drinking tea. Using such delightful seashells as incense burners, we can fill the room with a soothing scent. Now, if I might take a closer look...
  • <standard response>
• Fragrant Sweetfish

Standard Response

• low quality
  • Hm, yes, nothing to be desired. You are true to your reputation, my friend.
• medium quality
  • Hm-hm, even to my layman's eyes, 'tis plain the quality is superior. Maelie will surely be pleased.
• high quality
  • By the Fury, even to my layman's eyes, 'tis plain the quality is transcendent! I cannot show this to Maelie soon enough!

Charlemend: I'm pleased to say that our patients have beem making excellent progress with their rehabilitation. And in the course of working together, I have managed to strike up a rapport with many of them.

Maelie: Just earlier, Maurilette told us that we're fully fledged aides now! But we won't rest on those laurels, oh no. We'll keep workin' as hard as ever!

Cutscene 2

Maelie: Thanks for bringin' us so much, <name>!

Charlemend: Indeed. 'Tis in no small part due to your contributions that we budding aides are able to discharge our duties. We are truly grateful.
