Littlegleaner04176	...Do my eyes deceive me, or are you [Player Name]?
Littlegleaner04176	Well, as I live and breathe, it is you. Ha! I knew I'd be the first to track you down. Who's the guildship's top hunter now, eh!?
Littlegleaner04176	Wait─you have heard of guildship hunts, yes? They are not so different from the hunts you're familiar with in Eorzea, as I understand it. I'd wager they're rather more challenging, but an adventurer of your caliber would never turn down a challenge, would you?
Littlegleaner04176	No, no you would not! Pray speak with Northota at the Peristyle to register your interest at your earliest convenience.
 	
Northota 	Aye, I'm Northota. Have you come to place a bounty on an unruly beast?
Northota 	By the Scholar! You're [Player Name]? I was half-convinced I'd set the others an impossible task, asking them to find you.
Northota 	The gleaners' guildship has begun posting hunt bills, you see, in the hopes that capable individuals will take up arms to lighten our ever-increasing load...
Northota 	Unfortunately, “capable individuals” remain the sticking point. Few hailing from our fair polis are willing to take up arms─let alone able to stand against the more fearsome specimens.
Northota 	You, however, have the experience and the grit that we need. When I heard that you had arrived on our shores, it was music to my ears!
Northota 	You needn't work for free, of course─we've done our research, and the rewards we offer are as fine as any you'll find abroad. The currency we employ is a relic of times when “gleaner” was a great deal less figurative, so you may find it somewhat...eccentric, but it's as good as gil here!
Northota 	...Speaking of eccentric, it should be noted that the majority of our clients are scholars. You probably won't have heard of half the creatures they send you after, but I find it's best not to worry about that overmuch.
Northota 	Slay beasts, collect samples─try not to think about the long-term effects of touching said samples─and get paid. Simple, no?
Northota 	That being said, I wouldn't dream of throwing you in the deep end just yet. Let's have you start off with some junior marks so you can get your feet wet.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
