Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Ah, an adventurer! A proper adventurer, that is. Out here, we are all adventurers of a sort, are we not?
In sooth, however, I am a glassworker of Ishgard.
'Twas for that expertise that I was invited to take part in the initiative, and I have been quite content to oversee the work at Glassblowers' Beacon.
Yet as my time here draws to a close, I find myself regretting having failed to venture further afield. I am certain its vistas would inspire me for years to come.
For that reason, I should like to take a brief stroll—and perhaps collect a few samples that might be incorporated into my future works. Provided you are willing to escort me through the harrowing environs, of course.
Then I am in your debt. Once you have made your expert preparations for the trials ahead, let us meet to the southwest—within a safe distance of the grotto, of course.
Speak with the Ishgardian glassworker.
Breathtaking...
Oh, forgive me. I was captivated by the scenery.
I had thought to venture further, but perhaps the inspiration I seek can be gathered right here on our doorstep...
As an associate of the initiative, you must be a capable artisan in your own right. Why not share in this artistic exercise with me?
Bring me whatever fetching fragments speak to your aesthetic sense. I shall limit my search to these surrounds, lest I inadvertently endanger myself.
Optional dialogue
May we both find some truly fabulous frit!
Deliver the fetching fragments to the Ishgardian glassworker.
You're alive! Did you espy any works of art?
The player hands over 3 Fetching Fragments.
You have an artisan's eye, indeed. 'Twould be an honor to work with any one of these.
You may count me thoroughly dazzled by the sights and samples both.
...But what of you? You have spent far more time wandering the star than I.
How have you found your time on Phaenna?
What will you say?
I've encountered wonders I never could have imagined!
'Tis exploration itself I enjoy. For that, Phaenna is beautiful indeed.
Eh, I've seen worse.
Spoken like an adventurer true.
I confess that as beautiful as I find the sea of stars, it frightens me in equal measure.
How much there is to see...and how limited my own view of it. The moment I stepped outside the grotto, I was nigh overcome.
I am glad to have glimpsed this star through your eyes, if only for a short while. Come, let us return to the Beacon.
Speak with the Ishgardian glassworker.
You have my deepest gratitude, adventurer. I shall never forget the beauty of this day/evening.
And to think that I may have turned down the initiative's invitation were it not for my present struggle at the atelier...
Not long ago, you see, Lord Aymeric himself commissioned a work of stained glass to celebrate the newfound harmony between man and dragon.
From the first, I floundered. Long did I know dragons only as terrifying beasts. To see beauty, let alone kinship, in the visage of those creatures? 'Twas beyond even my imagination.
Now, however, I begin to understand. Even the most fearsome wyrm is but a single soul like you or I, facing the endless expanse with fear...and with wonder.
I envision a dragon soaring between stars, graceful and strong. Following a glimmer of light across an unimaginable distance...
A fitting use for this glass, I should think.
