Lord Haurchefant would like to introduce you to his witness.

— In-game description

Steps

Journal

  • Lord Haurchefant has bid you speak with the witness he discovered. The man in question should be waiting outside.
  • The cataloger states that he saw the Enterprise land near the Stone Vigil several days before the Calamity, which means that it was almost certainly seized by the garrison which occupied it at the time. Report your findings to Lord Haurchefant and see what advice he proffers.
  • Lord Francel is happy to oblige your request. Before you depart, he reminds you that the cravens who attempted to destroy House Haillenarte have yet to be revealed, and that they may target you in the future in retaliation for your interference. Duly warned, proceed to Whitebrim Front and present your letters to the sentry at the gates.
  • The surly sentry's demeanor quickly changes when he recognizes the seals on the letters you bear. Nevertheless, he seems reluctant to simply wave you inside...

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Haurchefant: The man with knowledge of the Enterprise awaits you outside. I pray his information proves useful to you.

Speaking with the witness

Discomposed Cataloger: How quickly the commoners' opinions change. They say Lord Francel is innocent now, but just a few days prior...
Discomposed Cataloger: Anyway, you were inquiring as to the whereabouts of an airship last seen in Coerthas several days before the Calamity, yes? Well, it so happens that I was monitoring the night sky at the Observatorium during that period. I recall that a small vessel came from the direction of Gridania and landed near the Stone Vigil, in the far northwest.
Discomposed Cataloger: The garrison almost certainly seized the vessel and brought it within their walls. If so, then you would need an army of knights to have any hope of securing it.
Discomposed Cataloger: Though Lord Haurchefant is, from all indications, quite fond of you, so mayhap he can lend you a few? In any case, I have done my part. I shall pray for your success, friend.

Speaking with Haurchefant

Haurchefant: Oh, so you've at last located the Enterprise! I believe congratulations are in order.
Haurchefant: The Stone Vigil? Ah...perhaps I spoke too soon. The outpost has been held by the dragons for years, and all access is restricted by decree of House Durendaire.
Haurchefant: I will write a letter to Lord Drillemont of Whitebrim Front and request that he grant you permission to enter. That said, I fear my influence alone will not suffice, so I suggest that you request Lord Francel do the same.
Haurchefant: Now that your business in Camp Dragonhead is concluded, I suspect we may not meet again for some time.
Haurchefant: I wish you well in your journeys, [Forename]. May Halone guide you.

Speaking with Francel

Francel: Wonderful to see you again, [Forename]! If there is anything I can do to repay you, name it.
Francel: ...So the airship you seek is likely inside the Stone Vigil. It shames me to say that it too was once an outpost held by House Haillenarte. In the chaos that followed the Calamity, the Dravanian Horde caught us unawares. The fiends have held the outpost ever since.
Francel: As we lack the strength of arms to retake the Stone Vigil, House Durendaire instead has been charged with the duty. Given that, I doubt that my words will carry much weight with Lord Drillemont. Nevertheless, I will write you your letter.
Francel: Before you depart, a word of caution: the cravens who attempted to destroy House Haillenarte have yet to be unmasked. Though their plans were foiled, they doubtless still harbor great hatred towards us─and towards you now as well.

Delivering the letter to Brunadier

Brunadier: You desire an audience with Lord Drillemont, do you? Hah! I desire a night in a warm bed with my wife, but wishing won't make it so.
<Hand Over Haurchefant's Letter and Francel's Letter>
Brunadier: What do we have here? Letters from Lords Haurchefant and Francel, is it? A likely─
...Oh, you're serious. Hmmm...what to do, what to do...
