* Eshtaime's Lapidaries is in need of a trustworthy adventurer who can promote its entry in the Little Ladies' Day doll contest. With the princess doll in tow, Serendipity would have you visit Gridania, offering the gossiping girls there budding blossoms in the spirit of the festival.

Serendipity 	Eager to hear my plan, then? Excellent!
Serendipity 	As you might imagine, we've received hundreds of orders in the weeks, even months leading up to the contest. Why, our most doll-crazed customers placed their orders not days after last year's festivities ended!
Serendipity 	After hearing so many of them boast and brag about their intentions to demolish their opponents, I'm starting to wonder if they've forgotten what Little Ladies' Day is truly about.
Serendipity 	Yes...I can't put my finger on it, but I am convinced that you will bring something special to this contest─something none of the guild's other clients can.
Serendipity 	And so this is what I propose: Eshtaime's Lapidaries will submit its own entry to the contest. The goal is to win, then sell the doll at auction.
Serendipity 	Your job will be to visit each of the city–states, putting this masterwork on display for all to admire and adore.
Serendipity 	Little ladies of all nations will be casting their votes, after all, and they are not like to vote for a doll they have not seen.
Serendipity 	I trust that traversing the realm will not overly trouble an accomplished adventurer such as yourself.
Serendipity 	I've no doubt you're well accustomed to teleporting all about the place. I suppose it's faster, albeit slightly more expensive, but─ Ahem. Where was I? Oh, yes!
Serendipity 	An admirable plan, is it not? You get to partake in the festivities, Eshtaime's Lapidaries gets its publicity, and I can get back to filling the several hundred commissions I'm neglecting at this very moment. Everybody wins!
Serendipity 	And now, the moment you've been waiting for. Behold, your very own Princess Edvya doll!
Serendipity 	Isn't she darling? And if you thought you'd have to carry her, think again! You'll find she's quite capable of getting around on her own.
Serendipity 	I recommend you first travel to Gridania. The little ladies there love to gossip, making it the perfect place for your doll's debut. Oh, and take these blossoms as well─a small gift will go a long way toward winning their hearts.
 	
Serendipity 	Oh, [Player Name]... I have a feeling I know why you're here...
Serendipity 	Haha, no need to fret. She knows to return home when lost. Now off you go, and be sure to enjoy yourself!
Serendipity 	Oh? Everything is fine? Wonderful! Well, off you go, then! Be sure to tell me all about your trip to Gridania when you're done.
Serendipity 	The gossiping girls of Gridania will spread word of the doll for us. Just remember to hand each a blossom for Little Ladies' Day.
 	
Charisma 	Dolls, dolls, dolls...each more beautiful than the next, yet none of them speak to me. Did Princess Edvya concern herself with glory and riches? I think not!
Charisma 	Dolls, dolls, dolls...each more beautiful than the next, yet none of them speak to me. Did Princess Edvya concern herself with glory and riches? I think not!
Charisma 	Flowers? For me? That's terribly sweet of you.
Charisma 	Did you know that peach blossoms were in full bloom on the very day that Princess Edvya went missing all those years ago? It is to honor her memory that the flower was adopted as the symbol of Little Ladies' Day, adorning the town as you see today.
Charisma 	'Tis rare to see one who remembers the old traditions in this day and age. Why, even your doll is dressed in traditional garb! Well, I know who I'm voting for this year. Ah, if only I could have a doll like this of my very own!
Charisma 	What's that, you say? Eshtaime's Lapidaries plans to put this selfsame doll up for sale after the judging is over? It looks like a visit to Ul'dah just might be in order!
Charisma 	I wish you the best of luck in the contest! Not that you're like to need it, with such a masterpiece as your entry.
 	
Charisma 	This is the one day of the year where I have the chance to be treated like a princess, but all my friends care about is winning that blasted contest. <sigh> So here I am all alone, feeling like a pauper.

Charisma 	Oh, I shall treasure these more than any gem! Thank you, miss/sir.
Charisma 	They say the peach blossom was emblazoned on the royal family's coat of arms during the Thorne Dynasty. It's why the peach blossom has become so deeply entwined with Little Ladies' Day─to remember Sultan Baldric Thorne, and the kindness he showed that poor miller girl in the tale so often retold.
Charisma 	Such a lovely doll─as beautiful as any blossom, I say. If you're competing in the doll contest, rest assured that my vote is yours. It's the least I can do to repay your kindness.
Charisma 	Best of fortune to you, miss/sir. You've certainly earned my vote.
 	
Charisma 	Of all the festivals held here in Gridania, Little Ladies' Day has to be my favorite, although I cannot help but feel something is amiss this year...

Charisma 	More peach blossoms? But of course! There were far more peach trees in bloom around the Twelveswood last year. It was the perfect way to pay homage to Princess Edvya and the tradition of charity she gave birth to.
Charisma 	What's more, planting saplings gives me reason to use the new gardening kit I purchased a few moons past. You wouldn't believe what a bargain it was, and made with high-quality darksteel to─
Charisma 	Ahem, excuse me. I got carried away for a moment. Is that a doll for the contest? Why, it's as pretty as a peach. You can count on my vote for the contest. Oh, think nothing of it─thanks to you, I finally have a use for my new gardening tools!
Charisma 	I pray you do well in the contest. Now where did I put that shovel?
 	
Serendipity 	Welcome back, [Player Name]! You're just in time. Not long ago I received word of the contest rankings.
Serendipity 	It looks like you're slowly climbing up to number one! The little ladies of Gridania must have really been taken with you and the doll.
Serendipity 	She is oft reluctant to express her emotions─as princesses are wont to be─but I'm sure she's excited to hear the news, as well.
Serendipity 	I've crafted many a doll for this contest, and yet I find myself growing more and more partial to this one. If I had a vote, I daresay it would go to you.
Serendipity 	And it would appear that this little lady has grown partial to you as well, [Player Name]. This is only the beginning, though. Keep up the good work and you're sure to win!
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
