Promises Kept

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Now that the excitement of recent days has given way to some semblance of new normality, Ser Aymeric de Borel, fresh from his appointment as lord speaker of the House of Lords, has extended to you a formal invitation to dine with him at his estate. It would seem that your long-overdue drink with the lord commander is at last at hand─should you so desire.
* The evening at Borel Manor surpasses all expectation. In between several courses of the finest cuisine you have ever tasted, you and Ser Aymeric discuss subjects great and small. The conversation flows as smoothly as the wine, and for the first time in ages, you feel at peace. Yet all good things must come to an end, and this respite is no exception, for when a House Fortemps herald suddenly arrives and declares that Thancred has returned with an injured maiden who may not live through the night, you know what you must do.
* The maiden is revealed to be none other than Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister, who had long ago decided to part ways with her brother. Thancred explains that after tracking the Warriors of Darkness for some time, he discovered that she too had attempted to learn more of the enigmatic adventurers. Alas, her efforts were rather less subtle than his, and Thancred was forced to spirit her away to Ishgard. Struck by a poisoned arrow as they fled, Alisaie now teeters on the brink of death, but before being passed into the care of the chirurgeons, she musters the strength to warn you of Garuda's imminent summoning in Xelphatol─and of the primal's planned death at the hands of the Warriors of Darkness.
* Realizing that he can do naught else for his sister, Alphinaud places his faith in Captain Whitecape and bids you join him in addressing a matter whose conclusion you may yet influence. The Warriors of Darkness are conspiring with the Ascians to goad the Ixal into summoning their patron deity, and only you have the power to stop them.
==Objectives==
* Speak with the House Borel steward.
* Return to Fortemps Manor.
* Speak with Alphinaud.

House Fortemps knight	Mistress/Master [Player Name], Mistress/Master [Player Name]! You are come at a most excellent time.
House Fortemps knight	An invitation from a truly preeminent personage was delivered to the manor but a short while ago. Would that you had been present to receive it, but in any event...
House Fortemps knight	Ser Aymeric de Borel, lord speaker of the House of Lords, lord commander of the Temple Knights, and viscount of House Borel, cordially invites Mistress/Master [Player Name] to dine with him at his estate.
House Fortemps knight	You seem surprised. The messenger assured me that his lord had broached the subject with you at an earlier date─when the arrangements for the peace conference were still being finalized...
House Fortemps knight	Of course, the intervening moons afforded little opportunity for leisure. But with the happy advent of peace, 'tis plain the lord commander sees no further cause to delay. What say you?
 	
House Fortemps knight	Indeed, who would not! You will forgive me if I seem envious. Ahem!
House Fortemps knight	I shall send word of your acceptance to Borel Manor at once. When you are ready, pray report to the Astrologicum. They will have someone escort you the rest of the way.
 	
House Fortemps knight	Y-You would ask me!? Well, I...I am sure that as a personal friend of Ser Aymeric, you are at liberty to wear whatever you deem appropriate. That said...
House Fortemps knight	"When in doubt, a man of note could do far worse than an alpine coat!“
House Fortemps knight	...At least, that is what Lord Emmanellain has been heard to say. I-I assume the same holds true for ladies./ Ahem. When you are ready, pray report to the Astrologicum. A man of House Borel shall be waiting near there to escort you the rest of the way.
 	
House Fortemps knight	You─ You would rather not? Well...that is a great shame. The messenger went out of his way to express how very much his lord was looking forward to the occasion...
House Fortemps knight	Forgive me, but might I trouble you to reconsider, if only as a courtesy to your friend, Ser Aymeric? At the very least, 'twill be an opportunity to sample the finest in Ishgardian cuisine. Should you choose to heed my counsel, a man of House Borel will be waiting for you near the Astrologicum.
 	
House Fortemps knight	Pray look for Ser Aymeric's man near the Astrologicum. He will escort you to Borel Manor.
 	
Borelsteward 	Greetings and well met, Mistress/Master [Player Name].
Borelsteward 	I have the honor and the privilege to serve as head steward of House Borel─though, admittedly, our staff is somewhat smaller than those of other noble families...being countable on one hand.
Borelsteward 	Ahem! My lord will be overjoyed to hear that you have accepted his invitation. As you will soon see, we have spared no expense.
Borelsteward 	I daresay a woman/man of action such as yourself enjoys nary a moment's respite. Aye, the battlefield beckons even now, I am sure, but for this day, we bid you lay down your burdens and raise a glass to peace and prosperity.
 	
Aymeric 	Though the fates afforded us the time to share our long-delayed drink, 'twould seem the rest of my wine cellar will have to wait. As I am constantly reminded, there is no rest for the righteous.
 	
Edmont 	However much we may change and grow apart...some bonds are unbreakable.
 	
Alphinaud 	Surely, surely they won't let her... <sigh> Yes, yes, I know. We must trust in Captain Whitecape and his chirurgeons. Did they not bring Estinien back from the very brink of death?
Alphinaud 	...I am uncomfortably reminded of how he mocked me for praying at his bedside for days on end.
Alphinaud 	What say you, my friend? Shall we turn our attention to a matter whose conclusion we yet have the power to influence?
