A Relic Reborn (Thyrus)

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture within U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea to retrieve the lost Thyrus. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.
* You have obtained the timeworn Thyrus. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.
* According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a madman's whispering rod melded with two grade three quicktongue materia.
* You have delivered the materia-enhanced madman's whispering rod to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
※This objective must be completed as a white mage.
* You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.
* Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.
* You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
※This objective must be completed as a white mage.
* You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.
* You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of Interview with the Padjal. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.
* After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Thyrus, make your way to U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea, and there slay eight U'Ghamaro quarrymen, eight U'Ghamaro priests, and eight U'Ghamaro bedesmen.
* You have defeated the specified kobolds. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.
* Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Thyrus, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
* You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.
* Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Thyrus to the weaponsmith.
* Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
※This objective must be completed as a white mage.
* You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
※This objective must be completed as a white mage.
* You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
※This objective must be completed as a white mage.
* You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.
* You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz–at–Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.
* You have delivered a bottle of Radz–at–Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of Thyrus. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

Gerolt 	Jus' let me make one thing clear: it might be as I'm repairin' kettles to pay for yesterday's mead, but I still got me pride as a master weaponsmith. Ye'll get no less than the finest out of me forge.
Gerolt 	An' it might be as ye've got that godsdamned slip of paper, but it'll only get ye so much. Restorin' relics like these calls for some rare ol' materials, an' I ain't got none. So if you want the job done, ye'll have to run along an' fetch 'em for me.
Gerolt 	So, what is it ye want restored?
Gerolt 	...Eh? ...A relic weapon for white magic? Never heard of one. Ye sure ye ain't been on the drink? ...Hm? What's that?
Gerolt 	Uh-huh... So, this A–Towa–Cant was the keeper of white magic, was he? If it's as ye say, it might be as I know of jus' the thing: the enchanted staff Thyrus.
Gerolt 	It's a priceless heirloom what belonged to the Cant clan, one of the foremost families in Gridania. Thing is, it went missin' some decades ago, along with its owner, none other'n A–Towa–Cant.
Gerolt 	The bloke was known for bein' a bit of an eccentric among his kind. Whereas most Padjals live out their days in the Black Shroud, he went off in search of elementals in distant lands.
Gerolt 	With Thyrus for company, he roamed the realm, lendin' a helpin' hand to the folk he met on his travels. Seems, though, he couldn't do much to help himself out when he set foot in O'Ghomoro─the man was never heard from again, an' neither was his staff.
Gerolt 	As fate would have it, A–Towa–Cant was the last of his blood, an' his line guttered out with him. Right tragic, I know, but we can shed tears for him another time.
Gerolt 	Gettin' back to the matter at hand, it seems a fair bet that Thyrus is lyin' around somewhere in U'Ghamaro Mines, just out of the poor sod's skeletal grasp, like─gods rest his soul.

Gerolt 	Well, bugger me... Never in me wildest, drunkest dreams did I imagine ye'd actually find the bloody thing... Bah, so I'll have to fire up the forge, after all.
Gerolt 	Havin' said that, the relic's in far worse shape than I thought. It ain't like to survive much poundin' in this state. Truth be told, I'd be worried about sneezin' near it.
Gerolt 	<sigh> We're gonna need a new host what'll give itself for the restoration.
Gerolt 	Bring me a madman's whisperin' rod, one with two grade three quicktongue materia melded to it. This'll serve as the vessel for the restored relic.
Gerolt 	Remember, that's two grade three quicktongue materia. Aught less, an' ye'll get naught from me, no matter how many slips of paper ye wave in me face.
 	
Gerolt 	Ye need to bring me a madman's whisperin' rod, one with two grade three quicktongue materia melded to it. This'll serve as the vessel for the restored relic.
Gerolt 	Hm? Aye, I could hammer one out in me sleep, but then I could wipe yer arse without much trouble, an' I ain't plannin' on doin' that neither! Seems ye'll jus' have to do both yerself, eh?
 	
Gerolt 	Ah, 'tis a fine base ye've brought me. Aye, jus' the thing to host yer relic.
Gerolt 	I've merged what was left of the relic with the host weapon, so the groundwork's done. But don't go jumpin' for joy jus' yet─there's still more to do.
Gerolt 	I need to work on the finishin' touches, but due to the reinforcement work I've had to do, the weapon's provin' rather stubborn to shape.
Gerolt 	To get 'round this, we'll be needin' some alumina salts, a substance made by grindin' a rock called alumina into fine grains. Unlucky for ye, though, it ain't easy to get hold of.
Gerolt 	Mayhap ye already know this, but there's beasties out there what devour their prey whole. An' some of 'em swallow rocks so as to aid with digestion.
Gerolt 	The dhorme chimera what terrorizes the central highlands o' Coerthas happens to swallow alumina salts for this purpose.
Gerolt 	Slay the bugger an' bring me the alumina salts, an' I'll see to the finishin' touches on yer weapon.
 	
Gerolt 	Jus' a dozen more kettles, then it's off to the tav─
You again!? What in the seven hells do ye want this time!?
Gerolt 	Forgotten what to bring, eh? Gods' sake, woman/man, ye've got the memory of a bleedin' whatsit!
Gerolt 	Slay the dhorme chimera an' bring me alumina salts, an' I'll see to the finishin' touches on yer weapon.
 	
Gerolt 	...An' o' course, the adventurer comes back triumphant. <sigh> Should've bloody known not even the chimera would be able to put ye out o' me misery.
Gerolt 	Hand over those alumina salts, an' I'll get right to work.
Gerolt 	There, the deed's done. I've squeezed out every onze of me skill to restore yer weapon, an' I think ye'll agree it looks the part.
Gerolt 	Yet there's summat...missin' somehow, though I'm buggered if I know what. The piece jus' lacks a certain glow, as it were.
Gerolt 	We need to learn more about the relic. Literature surroundin' the hero associated with it would be a fine place to begin...but I ain't exactly a scholarly an' haven't the slightest inklin' where to get me hands on such stuff.
Gerolt 	As much as I hate to say this, Rowena's probably the one to talk to. Thing is, I'd sooner shove hot kettles up me arse sideways than owe that thrice-damned harridan another debt.
Gerolt 	Yer gonna have to make yerself useful once again. Take yerself to Rowena an' ask for her help, an' return here once ye've learned summat what might be of use.
 	
Rowena 	You're lookin' a bit more run-down than before. Your dealin's with Gerolt takin' their toll? Actually, forget I even asked. My mouth tastes o' bile if I so much as think o' that sorry specimen. So, is there somethin' you need?
Rowena 	...Literature on the hero of old who once wielded your weapon?
Rowena 	Hm, I reckon I can find what you need. Might take a bit o' time, is all.
Rowena 	'Course, this ain't a charity I'm runnin' here. I can get you what you want, but you'll have to do likewise for me.
Rowena 	I'll track down literature on A–Towa–Cant, the wandering Padjal.
Rowena 	For your part, you're to bring me an Amdapor glyph. You'll find this inside Amdapor Keep, a ruined castle situated in the South Shroud.
Rowena 	Clear on the deal? Then run along and fulfill your part of it.
 	
Rowena 	Ah, good on you/lad! This is exactly what I was after. You've honored your part o' the bargain, and so I'll do the same.
 	
Gerolt 	Back to pester me so soon? Judgin' from that smirk on yer face, I take it ye've found what ye need?
Gerolt 	Aye, this text is about A–Towa–Cant, all right. But gods, would it have killed the bugger that wrote it to use normal bloody words!?
Gerolt 	It'll take me bleedin' moons to get through this lot─time I could be spendin' on kettles! Gah...while I try to make head or tail of it all, why don't ye take this here unfinished Thyrus an' try it out?
Gerolt 	As I mentioned before, it's still missin' summat, but it's all there shape-wise, meanin' it should serve ye jus' fine as an ordinary weapon.
Gerolt 	Seein' as yer a ripe ol' white mage, mayhap ye'll be able to feel out exactly what it wants for.
Gerolt 	That's to say, get out there an' fight some nasty foes, as A–Towa–Cant must've done back in the day.
Gerolt 	U'Ghamaro Mines over in outer La Noscea oughta serve yer needs. Pit yerself against some U'Ghamaro quarrymen, priests, an' bedesmen─eight of each, say─then come back an' tell me what ye've gleaned.
Gerolt 	With the information in the text an' yer firsthand experience, I reckon we'll solve this puzzle yet.
 	
Gerolt 	I want ye to get out there an' fight some nasty foes, as A–Towa–Cant must've done back in the day.
Gerolt 	U'Ghamaro Mines over in outer La Noscea oughta serve yer needs. Pit yerself against some U'Ghamaro quarrymen, priests, an' bedesmen─eight of each, say─then come back an' tell me what ye've gleaned.
 	
Epicmoogle 	You mustn't lose your relic, kupo! I went to great pains to retrieve it, so promise me you'll take better care of it!
 	
Gerolt 	Back already? By the frown yer wearin', I take it ye've got nothin' to show for yer time with the kobolds.
Gerolt 	Hmmm, might be as ye want for better sport. An' I know jus' the creature what'll give it to ye─the hydra what reigns over the fiends within Halatali. A nasty piece of work, that. Try not to piss yer britches when ye see it.
 	
Fafajoni 	We Immortal Flames have managed to cull most of the feral denizens of Halatali, but the hydra still remains. Frankly, we're out of our─
Fafajoni 	What!? You mean to face the fell creature!? To be sure, we would be grateful if you could rid us of it, but I must warn you of the dangers. Survival is not guaranteed.
 	
Gerolt 	Bloody hells, not ye again! Can't a man have a moment's bleedin' rest!? I've barely had time to piss since you gave me that damnable text.
Gerolt 	Readin' the thing's given me a fierce bloody headache...which yer makin' worse by houndin' me!
Gerolt 	Do me a favor an' make yerself scarce, will ye? Go an' play with yer bloody Thyrus or summat.
 	
Epicmoogle 	You mustn't lose your relic, kupo! I went to great pains to retrieve it, so promise me you'll take better care of it!
 	
Gerolt 	Yer... Yer still alive! Why the hells do you adventurers have to be so godsdamned sturdy!? I was bloody sure ye'd be hydra dung by now... <sigh>
Gerolt 	But what's done is done...or in this case, not done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains the writin's of a thaumaturge of Arrzaneth Ossuary.
Gerolt 	The bloke wrote of his meetin' with our Padjali friend, A–Towa–Cant, who was payin' visit to Ul'dah at the time. Can't blame the man for wantin' to have himself a bit of fun, eh!?
Gerolt 	Their conversation bored me nigh to tears, but ye'll be pleased to hear the name Thyrus did eventually appear. As yer no doubt aware, wood's the most common material used in the makin' of conjury arms.
Gerolt 	But on seein' that A–Towa–Cant's staff was wrought of stone, our thaumaturge decided to inquire as to its makin'.
Gerolt 	'Course, bein' a Padjal, A–Towa gave his “answer” in the form of a bloody riddle...
Gerolt 	But I'll spare ye the headache an' give it to ye plain: Thyrus is made of petrified wood, an' therein lies our problem.
Gerolt 	I went an' used ordinary stone to fill in the missin' bits, see, an' it obviously didn't do the trick.
 	
Epicmoogle 	You mustn't lose your relic, kupo! I went to great pains to retrieve it, so promise me you'll take better care of it!
Gerolt 	As ye can see, I've done me research. I trust ye've also been pullin' yer weight, puttin' the relic to use like I said. Well, go on, then─tell me what ye've learned.
 	
Gerolt 	Is that so? Aye...I'd wondered about that.
Gerolt 	Based on what we've gleaned from the text an' yer firsthand experience, I'll rework the relic so as to improve yer affinity with it. Hand it over for a second, will ye?
Gerolt 	Based on what we've gleaned from the text an' yer firsthand experience, I'll rework the relic so as to improve yer affinity with it. Hand it over for a second, will ye?
Gerolt 	There, the deed's done. That leaves us with one last step.
Gerolt 	That is, fully mergin' the old relic, the new host, an' the soul of the bearer─aye, that's you. Only then can the weapon be restored to its former glory.
Gerolt 	But to do this, I need a fire what's hotter than the seventh hell. An' to keep such a fire alive an' ragin', I need a wind what's fiercer than the...than the...er, hangover I had last week. Gah, ye know what I mean!
Gerolt 	Jus' get me a white-hot ember, a howlin' gale, an' a chunk o' hyperfused ore, an' I'll finish yer bloody weapon! Ah, an' I need me a bottle o' Radz–at–Han quenchin' oil as well to cool it off!
 	
Gerolt 	In order to restore yer weapon to its former glory, we need to fully merge the relic with the new host. Oh, aye─an' yer soul. Don't worry, though─it might not hurt much.
Gerolt 	Get me a white-hot ember, a howlin' gale, an' a chunk of hyperfused ore, an' I'll finish yer bloody weapon.
 	
Gerolt 	So yer back... Never doubted for a second ye'd trounce all three primals an' come back to pester me again.
Gerolt 	All right, then, let's see the white-hot ember, the howling gale, an' the hyperfused ore.
Gerolt 	Aye, these oughta get me the levels o' heat I need. Which leaves just the Radz–at–Han quenchin' oil for coolin' things off afterwards. Ye've got that, too, I assume?
Gerolt 	Ye've done yer part, an' so I'll do mine.
Gerolt 	Watch now, an' try not to bat yer eyelids─ain't every day ye get to see a relic reborn!
Gerolt 	Muahahaha... MUAHAHAHAHAHA! These gods-given hands've worked yet another miracle! Feast yer eyes on Thyrus, jus' as it was in days of yore! 'Tis a sight to move a man to tears...ye lucky bastard. Ye'd better bloody well take care of it!
 	
Gerolt 	Gods, I've been dry as a bone for the past six bells. M-Mead... Jus' give me enough mead to wet me lips...
