Dialogue
Optional dialogue
Alisaie: Much as I'd like to press Theopauldin for more revealing tidbits, we should be getting back to our tasks.
Alphinaud: 'Tis strange to hear Father spoken of in such a way...but I suppose he would find your view of me no less odd.
Accepting the quest
G'raha Tia: In the event that our ─ and I quote ─ “promised heap of adamantite falls right out of the bloody sky and into my lap,” Master Kokkol wishes to be ready to put the proverbial hammer to anvil at a moment's notice. G'raha Tia: To fabricate these parts, however, he needs the flames in Kokkol's Forge to burn hotter. He sent me to increase the amount of aether being funneled to his furnaces. G'raha Tia: The flow of fire-aspected aether in Labyrinthos is regulated by an elemental reactor south of here ─ to which I have borrowed the key. G'raha Tia: The adjustment will require two people to carry out safely...but I can explain the process when we arrive. Alisaie: This is where we part, then. Alisaie: We'll see you in Sharlayan Hamlet once the adamantite arrives, if not before. G'raha Tia: This way, then!
Speak with G'raha Tia.
G'raha Tia: The reactor is housed within this facility. G'raha Tia: I'll be the one to go inside and adjust the fire aether output. G'raha Tia: When I do, a rather large amount of water-aspected aether will issue from the vent at the top. I expect this to attract at least a few elementals ─ which we would both rather not be drawn into the reactor itself. Trust me. G'raha Tia: Can I ask that you put down any that draw too near? They'll pose you little trouble, I'm sure. G'raha Tia: Wait here, if you would!
Survey the designated location again. (Cutscene)
G'raha Tia: Did everything go smoothly out here? G'raha Tia: I thought as much. No major complications to speak of inside, either. G'raha Tia: ...And the water aether appears to be venting properly. G'raha Tia: I expect Kokkol will have seen a difference in his forge-flames by the time I return. G'raha Tia: Since I have you...there was another matter I thought to discuss with you. G'raha Tia: Nothing terribly important ─ merely something I've been considering. G'raha Tia: Part of this, I shared with everyone. Yet you, and only you, have been to Elpis... G'raha Tia: As we have established, refined adamantite is a product of Allag. Of the empire's twilight years, in fact. G'raha Tia: It was a material which saw much use as part of the Allagans' efforts to extend beyond the bounds of this world ─ Dalamud, of course, being the most prominent. G'raha Tia: Of those who would push further ─ expand Allag's empire to encompass the heavens and the stars above ─ perhaps the greatest was its infamous technologist, Amon. What will you say? > Amon wanted to travel the sea of stars? > Did he remember his life as Hermes? G'raha Tia: I believe he had his own reasons. There is no evidence to suggest that he retained memories of his former life. G'raha Tia: He only joined the Ascians once the empire was all but dust, as you know. G'raha Tia: If not his memory, though, what drove him to pursue the idea with such fervor? G'raha Tia: This may seem far-fetched, but what if souls, like minds, have...a personality, so to speak? A natural disposition towards which they are inclined? G'raha Tia: We know with relative certainty that it was the gross decadence and inexorable decline of Allag that moved Amon to resurrect Emperor Xande. G'raha Tia: The empire's people spoke lightly of death and destruction, experimenting on those they deemed beneath them to fill the emptiness in their hearts. G'raha Tia: In facilitating Xande's return, Amon provided these languid souls with the means to free themselves from the mire of their own indolence. G'raha Tia: ...Or would have, had not Xande been convinced by his own death that life itself was meaningless. G'raha Tia: Amon's desire for his countrymen to conquer the heavens could only be a means to the same end ─ to instill the people with new purpose. G'raha Tia: Like Hermes before him, Amon was appalled by how those around him lived, but could never bring himself to believe that those lives were devoid of meaning. G'raha Tia: And both of them sought that meaning, that hope, in the distant stars. G'raha Tia: ...Such is my theory, anyway. G'raha Tia: Ultimately, it is the consequences of their actions which matter. Their motives are of no moment. And yet... G'raha Tia: To reach those stars on wings of adamantite. To travel to the ends of creation and beyond. The promise of hope everlasting...that much I do understand. G'raha Tia: But enough musing for now. Why don't we see how Kokkol is getting on?
Optional dialogue
G'raha Tia: I did thoroughly brief Kokkol on refined adamantite's history. I only volunteered to go to the reactor because I was finished and there was little else to do. G'raha Tia: Hopefully that dispels any misapprehensions that I was kicked out for prattling on...
Speak with Kokkol Dankkol.
Kokkol Dankkol: Whew! I can feel those flames a-blazin' from here! Kokkol Dankkol: Glad you found someone capable, G'raha, but there's not much left for you lot to do. Kokkol Dankkol: 'Less you can conjure up that refined adamantite any faster...?
