The City of Lost Angels

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* A timely Echo-induced flashback gives you insight into Ramza Beoulve's final confrontation with Ultima, the High Seraph, and how Orran Durai and King Delita Heiral worked to see their companion's legacy both erased and preserved. The only path left for you...and all of Hydaelyn is to confront the Angel of Blood once more beneath the Orbonne Monastery.※The Orbonne Monastery can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* Ultima is defeated and the land rid of her foul presence once and for all. Ramza, however, has yet to regain consciousness. All you can do now is wait.
* Aetherial visions of the hero Ramza Beoulve and King Delita appear to grant you and the Lexentales their thanks before returning once and for all to the Lifestream.
* Jenomis, despite having fulfilled his lifelong desire to discover the truth behind Ivalice and his ancestor Orran Durai, has second thoughts about revealing his discovery to the world. He instead elects to tell the tale in an all-new final act of his renowned play, The Zodiac Brave Story. After witnessing the Majestic Theater Company rehearse this heartwarming scene, both you and Lina Mewrilah are at a loss for words...or at least you are.
* Lina Mewrilah is thoroughly satisfied with the outcome of events, and decides she will remain in Kugane for as long as her employers at The Raven will foot the bill. Who knows, perhaps before that time comes, another opportunity for adventure with the Lexentales will arise?
==Objectives==
* Use the Duty Finder to enter the Orbonne Monastery.
* Speak with Jenomis.
* Speak with Lina Mewrilah.

Gijuk 	If you need help finding Ramza, do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help. I like to think it is what Ba'Gamnan would have wished.
 	
Rinok 	Is the boy's father well? I cannot imagine what he is going through. Losing his daughter, only to lose his son moments after her return...
Jenomislexentale 	We need to do something...but what recourse is left to us? The only means we had of protecting ourselves could not even prevent my son from... My son from...
 	
Mikoto 	I am sorry, Jenomis. My design was...flawed...
Fran 	Not necessarily, Sharlayan. We all saw how it succeeded in drawing Alma back from the rift and shattering the Otius. The loss of the boy is not yours to bear.
Fran 	Our focus here should not be on our failures, but what we have learned from them. The being beyond the rift─it spoke before claiming Ramza. It referred to you as the “blood of its invokers.” Could it be your ancestors are responsible for Ultima's summoning?
Jenomislexentale 	Most certainly not! I have discovered no such inference anywhere in the Durai Papers! Besides, tales of the High Seraph existed far before even the earliest of Ivalician legends.
Fran 	Then who exactly did summon Ultima, and why does she think them your kin?
Mikoto 	Look!
Montblanc 	I have a bad feeling about this, kupo!
 	
Delita Heiral 	Ramza, dead!? You lie about as well as you carry yourself in battle, Orran.
Orran Durai 	I did not say he was dead, my Lord Delita, merely that he had abandoned his mortal vessel, entrusting his aetherial soul to the auracite.
Delita Heiral 	But why would he do such a thing? Peace is finally come to Ivalice! There is naught to be had from further sacrifice!
Delita Heiral 	The kingdom is won, and this victory is as much his as it is mine! He risked life and limb to shield me from the dark that would have seen me perish.
Delita Heiral 	Without him, I would not be standing here before you. It is my duty as both king and colleague to see him saved!
Delita Heiral 	Knights, to me! We ride for Orbonne!
Orran Durai 	My lord! Wait!
Orran Durai 	Ajora Glabados, first of the Zodiac Braves, was not the hero the church would have you believe. He betrayed Mother Hydaelyn for the promise of coin and power, summoning forth a terrible evil from the depths of the celestial abyss.
Orran Durai 	It was believed only one of the land's chosen─only a Warrior of Light might stand against this threat.
Orran Durai 	Yet while victorious in battle, Ramza was unable to see the darkness vanquished. If failure was all that awaited our Warrior of Light, then what chance do you presume any other might stand?
Delita Heiral 	Are you saying I should do nothing, then!?
Alma Beoulve 	No, my lord. Ramza is. My brother's final wish before he surrendered to the aether was that his name be struck from the annals of history.
Delita Heiral 	Alma, you're unhurt! But I was led to believe none but Orran returned from Orbonne. What is this you speak of your brother's wishes?
Orran Durai 	When it became apparent that we were powerless to truly defeat the High Seraph, we chose the only path left to us─to do what Hydaelyn Herself did countless centuries past: imprison Ultima.
Orran Durai 	And as you are aware, my lord, a prison is only as strong as the seal on its gates...
Alma Beoulve 	Ramza sacrificed his body to ensure that the Angel of Blood would never again walk the land, and he believed that if people knew of this sacrifice, it would only inspire them to seek out the Holy Stones and repeat the mistakes of those come before.
Alma Beoulve 	If you truly avouch yourself his friend, then you will honor this, his final plea.
Delita Heiral 	No! Ramza should not be forgotten! He should be raised up as a hero for his deeds and claim his rightful place at my side. Only he might be my Knight Gallant!
Orran Durai 	He is gone, my lord.
Alma Beoulve 	Before Ramza was your friend, before he was my brother, he was a Warrior of Light. He did what he did for Hydaelyn, and for those who would one day, too, heed the Crystal's call.
Ramza Beoulve 	Claim the throne, my friend. Become ruler of Ivalice and restore peace to this war-torn realm once and for all.
Delita Heiral 	Wait, Ramza! Don't leave me! Please! I beg of you!
Ramza Beoulve 	You will make a fine and just king, Delita. See you do not stray from that path.
Delita Heiral 	Ramza!
Delita Heiral 	The stones in these two necklaces, you are certain they will guide the heroes of a new era to Ramza?
Orran Durai 	'Tis what Ramza wished, my lord.
Delita Heiral 	Orran, I do not believe I can bear another farewell this day. Will you not reconsider my offer to remain as a member of my court?
Orran Durai 	'Tis but a matter of time before the Cardinal and his Temple Knights grow wise to my past. I would not have my presence here implicate you as well.
Orran Durai 	Ramza beseeched me strike his name from history, but like you, my lord, I could not bear the thought of future generations blind to the truth. As such, I penned this chronicle of the hero's journeys.
Orran Durai 	I fear the world, however, is not yet ready for the gospel contained within these pages; nor would the church ever allow its circulation. In fact, I believe they will confiscate every existing copy and lock them away in their library.
Alma Beoulve 	And what better way for the words to remain forever preserved than in one of the most highly-guarded vaults in all the realm? Then, one day, when the church has fallen out of favor, the chronicle will be discovered and truth shall prevail.
Delita Heiral 	I must admit, your plan is intriguing, Orran...but once the church learns it was you who penned the chronicle, your life─
 	
Lina Mewrilah 	[Player Name]!
Mikoto 	'Twas the Echo, wasn't it?
Jenomislexentale 	The removal of Ramza's name from the history books, the Durai Papers, the pendants...it was all set in motion by Orran himself!
Fran 	And if the liberator's visions are to be taken as fact, it also appears we now know what the High Seraph meant by “blood of my invoker.”
Mikoto 	She was not speaking of ancestors in the sense of actual kin, but the line of those chosen by Hydaelyn to serve Her as Warriors of Light.
Lina Mewrilah 	But then why abduct Ramza...or even Alma? Unless...there is something you haven't been telling us!
Almalexentale 	She was using us...to lure [Player Name]. It is her/his vessel the High Seraph desires.
Lina Mewrilah 	Matron's teats, Alma, how long have you been awake!?
Fran 	<sigh> I've been a fool...
Fran 	I told our leader that it did not matter if our request for aid was refused, for I had an alternative ploy.
Fran 	I told our leader that it did not matter if our request for aid was refused, for I had an alternative ploy.
Bwagi 	General!
Fran 	It is all right, Bwagi. My intention was to claim one of these auracite in the name of the resistance and use its power to lay waste to the Garlean occupants. Only now do I realize how flawed my ambitions were.
Lina Mewrilah 	You mean this whole time you were playing us for fools!? Why didn't we see it earlier!? Never trust a woman with ears longer than mine, I always say!
Fran 	You've every right to be angry, and I apologize for misleading you. But believe me, I no longer have any desire to deceive you and yours. I shall see you to the Orbonne Monastery, and ask naught in return but that you let me join you in your rescue of Ramza.
Fran 	Do not misunderstand me. I do not do this for any one of you.
Fran 	I do it for my people in both Golmore and Rabanastre─people who may die if this High Seraph is allowed to return to power.
Jenomislexentale 	It pains me as a father that I am powerless to save my own son. [Player Name], I have asked much of you these past moons, but naught is more important than what I ask you now. Please, find Ramza.
 	
Almalexentale 	This is all my fault. I was convinced it was Ramza and my father who were bedeviled by the auracite...when in fact, it was me all along...
 	
Mikoto 	You are wrong, Alma. The auracite held no power over you. It never did. Your concern for your family was justified, for they allowed their desires to cloud their own judgment.
Mikoto 	You needn't blame yourself for matters beyond your control.
Almalexentale 	But what of Ramza? He's gone because he tried to save me...
 	
Almalexentale 	Please, [Player Name]. You must bring back my brother. I...I don't know what I would do if I lost him, too...
Montblanc 	He's awake, kupo! ...But is it truly </em>him</em>?
Ramzalexentale 	Thank you. Thank you all for coming to my aid.
Ramza Beoulve 	And you have my thanks, noble Warrior of Light. You have achieved what I could not.
Ramza Beoulve 	And you, bearer of my blood and the blood of House Durai. Thank you for seeing my final wish fulfilled.
Ramza Beoulve 	My sacrifice has finally been given meaning...
Ramza Beoulve 	Now, my friends, let us retire to Mother Hydaelyn's bosom, that we may finally rest.
Ramza Beoulve 	Farewell. You are the true heroes of this story.
Ramza Beoulve 	Delita. How I have missed you, old friend.
Delita Heiral 	Forgive me, Ramza! You deserved better than what history gave you. I...I could have done more... I am truly sorry...
Delita Heiral 	These countless centuries did I long for the day that we might meet once again. And now, that time is finally come. Hydaelyn beckons us both.
 	
Mikoto 	[Player Name]. It is almost sad to see our quest come to an end, though we have given the land's scholars much to consider. Sharlayan will have to open a school of Ivalician studies, are we to keep up.
Fran 	I owe you an apology, [Player Name]. I was wrong to doubt you.
Fran 	Whether it be in a council room or on the field of battle, you have proven yourself more than worthy of the many praises the bards sing. I am glad to have counted you an ally, for I would not wish you upon even my worst enemy.
Bwagi 	Despite what Lady Fran says, I had no doubt that you would come through in the end. It has been an honor, [Player Name]. I only wish Ba'Gamnan were here with us to celebrate this day...
Ramzalexentale 	And here we are, [Player Name]. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for my family...and that is before you saved me from the High Seraph!
Almalexentale 	You rescued my brother, and for that I shall ever be indebted to you. You will be in my heart, always, [Player Name].
Gijuk 	You slew the she-devil who brought those unholy stones into the world? Then Ba'Gamnan can finally rest in peace. Thank you, [Player Name].
Rinok 	My only regret is that if we had grown wise to the High Seraph's presence sooner, perhaps our captain, too, would be here to enjoy this victory...
Lina Mewrilah 	You're alive! Oh, but of course you are. You'd think that after this many triumphs, one might grow tired of saving the world. Consider us all fortunate that you have not! Ah hah hah hah!
Montblanc 	But they were there, Hurdy, clear as day─the hero Ramza and good King Delita! Why would I lie about something like that, kupo?
Hurdy 	My question is, why wouldn't you? Still, after what we've all been through in the past few days, I might be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt...this time, kupo!
Jenomislexentale 	I am so sorry, Ramza. Alma. I convinced myself my research was the most important thing in my life, all the while you two were standing before me. Can you find it in your hearts to forgive your father?
Almalexentale 	It is all right. We are still here, are we not?
Ramzalexentale 	And we triumphed. We proved your theory true. Ivalice existed. Ramza existed. And Orran Durai was not a heretic, but a hero. Now all that remains is to tell the world!
Jenomislexentale 	No, my son. We needn't burden ourselves further.
Ramzalexentale 	But Father! We cannot allow our ancestor's name to remain─
Jenomislexentale 	And we will not. Yet simply not in the manner you think.
Jenomislexentale 	I shall be adding a final act to The Zodiac Brave Story telling of how Ramza the forgotten hero and his chronicler Orran Durai smote the Angel of Blood and saved Ivalice from an age of darkness, before quietly embarking on a final journey that would take them far beyond the horizon.
Jenomislexentale 	And of course, I shall not leave out those nameless heroes who fought alongside Ramza─without whom the young noble would have surely perished.
Almalexentale 	Is that what you truly want, Father? For the story to end?
Jenomislexentale 	It will only end on the stage, my dear, and live on in the hearts of the crowd.
Ramzalexentale 	King Delita and Orran envisioned the Virgo as a beacon which would lead future generations to the truth about the founding of their kingdom. They were right. And just as the pendants guided us, now we shall guide the masses through our play.
Jenomislexentale 	And now you see, my son.
Jenomislexentale 	I would offer you my thanks again, [Player Name], but thanks are not nearly enough to express my gratitude for all you have given us.
Jenomislexentale 	Perhaps after I complete The Zodiac Brave Story, I shall pen a tale about the legendary Warrior of Light and her/his adventures across the Three Great Continents.
Cid 	Then you'll have your work cut out for you, my friend. [Player Name] has enough battles under her/his belt to fill at least three tomes, if not four.
Lina Mewrilah 	Would you stop doing that, Cid?
Cid 	And her/his tale is far from over, isn't it?
 	
Jenomislexentale 	All right, this is our final dress rehearsal for the night. Make it count. Positions, everyone!
Ramzalexentale 	Yes, Principal!
Jenomislexentale 	Lights! Music! There will be no more mistakes from you two, am I clear?
Montblanc 	Mothercrystal clear, kupo!
Lina Mewrilah 	They are going to perform the new final act!
Jenomislexentale 	Begin!
Almalexentale 	What ever will we do? The church has branded us heretics. No home awaits us in Ivalice.
Ramzalexentale 	We shall embark on a journey─a journey together!
Almalexentale 	Together?
Ramzalexentale 	Together! The Crystal's call has been answered and evil vanquished
from the land. We are now free to soar like the griffin!
Almalexentale 	Free? But how?
Ramzalexentale 	By casting off our noble names and forging a new path─one not bound by fate!
Ramzalexentale 	And on that path we shall meet new friends, make a new family.
Ramzalexentale 	And unto them we shall entrust the true tale of our deeds
that they may carry on our legacy...for all eternity!
Almalexentale 	Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast.
Ramzalexentale 	In sword etched he his fading memories.
Almalexentale 	In stone he tempered his skill.
Ramzalexentale 	By sword attested, by stone revealed.
Ramzalexentale 	Their tale can now be told!
Lina Mewrilah 	Bravo! Bravo! You both were wonderful!
Jenomislexentale 	I am inclined to agree with the Lady Mewrilah's sentiments, but there is always room for improvement. Back to your positions, everyone! Again from the top!
Montblanc 	Again? I've had enough of this! I was promised a starring role, kupo! It is in my contract!
Hurdy 	Oh, hush, Brother, before Jenomis has us back to polishing boot buckles again!
 	
Gabranth 	Well?
Imperialresearcher03189	Sir! Further research will be required to reach a positive conclusion, but preliminary tests show that the technology utilized here bears striking similarities to our own.
Gabranth 	Excellent. Let the Eorzeans play with their baubles. True power lies within these very walls.
Gabranth 	It appears our ancestors were as cunning as they were ruthless.
Gabranth 	A weapon powerful enough to carve a gateway to the land's very core. His Radiance will be eager to test this “Tartarus,” wouldn't you all agree?
 	
Mikoto 	It has been an honor to serve one as brave and just as you, [Player Name]. I only hope my contributions to this most recent endeavor have proven of value.
Mikoto 	Before this assignment, I would spend my days alone in the library poring over texts, learning of others' accomplishments, but never recording any of my own.
Mikoto 	But witnessing you and all you achieved in our short time together has inspired me. When I return to Sharlayan, I will put in a request with the Students of Baldesion for an increase in field research!
Mikoto 	But I think I shall start with something in Lower La Noscea! Thank you, [Player Name]!
Fran 	I owe you an apology, [Player Name]. I was wrong to doubt you.
Fran 	Whether it be in a council room or on the field of battle, you have proven yourself more than worthy of the many praises the bards sing. I am glad to have counted you an ally, for I would not wish you upon even my worst enemy.
Fran 	In fact, our paths may cross again sooner than expected. I received word earlier that the Eorzean and Eastern alliances have agreed to assist Lente's Tears, though not in the manner my leader first sought.
Fran 	In fact, our paths may cross again sooner than expected. I received word earlier from both the Eorzean Alliance and Doma that they have agreed to assist Lente's Tears, though not in the manner my leader first sought.
Fran 	They will be providing refuge for those displaced by the fighting. Children, elderly, the wounded─I have been assured that all are welcome.
Fran 	Unlike our demand for soldiery, both Lady Tataru and Lady Yugiri seemed much more amicable to this request. Perhaps they remembered how only recently Eorzea received refugees fleeing from Doma and Ala Mhigo. And perhaps it was I who reminded them.
Fran 	As for now, I must return to Dalmasca with these tidings, and somehow not only convince the myriad resistance factions to cease their infighting, but also cooperate in the organization of a method in which refugees might be transported safely across the borders.
Fran 	Needless to say, I have my work cut out for me. But even then, this is only the beginning. Once the refugees are safe, there is still a war to be fought...and won.
Fran 	And when that time comes, do not be surprised when I come again calling.
Gijuk 	Reports are that the IVth Legion has marched on Valnain, making the commercial center their new temporary base of operations. If that is so, then that is where we strike next!
Gijuk 	We had our past misgivings, [Player Name], but in the end we all learned to work for the same cause. I hope we can do so again, soon!
Rinok 	It won't be simple uniting the factions, but when has war ever been simple?
Rinok 	Once we are a united front, we still have to figure a means of besting the most powerful army in the world. And if, by some miracle, we achieve that, then we have an entire nation to rebuild...starting with the smoldering heap I used to call home.
Rinok 	But then again, it sure feels better than being a sky pirate. Let the next time we meet, [Player Name], be in the Desert Sapphire 'neath the royal Dalmascan standard!
Bwagi 	If Ba'Gamnan were here, he'd smile and slap us both on the back. You'd probably fall on your face. I miss the captain.
Bwagi 	I'm not as optimistic as my brothers as to our chances of meeting again, but know this, [Player Name]: I will not forget you, and hope that maybe you will say the same.
Lina Mewrilah 	Well, wasn't that an adventure, [Player Name]? It is sad to think we must soon part ways, what with all we've been through these past few moons.
Lina Mewrilah 	Satisfied with the city's unwillingness to turn him over to the Garleans, Jenomis has decided to purchase a permanent berth above Kugane for the Prima Vista. Supposedly he has already received petitions from hundreds of geiko and geinin to join the company.
Lina Mewrilah 	And then there is the matter of my assignment. You will be delighted to learn that I am...almost finished. What? How do you expect one to write an exposé when off battling forces of evil from beyond the void? Don't you worry, though. A few more weeks and I'll have a draft! All right...an outline.
Lina Mewrilah 	Until then, I'll stay here in Kugane a while longer...at The Raven's expense, of course. Farewell!
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
