is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* "To ye who ask of things to come:Give thought to what is past and gone.“With the long-dead poet king's words still ringing in your ears, you continue your pilgrimage, retracing the steps you took in the days following your exile.What cruel fate, to lose her father as a child, and be compelled to rule in his stead. And how the years had tempered her dreams and taught her, sometimes brutally, the price of naivety. Though outwardly unscathed by her ordeal, it was a wiser and more wary Nanamo who reclaimed the throne...
* "For the freedom of all.“ It had begun with an oath and ended with a betrayal, as the conspirators turned on their comrades for coin and country. The good and true were beaten and imprisoned, or else butchered where they stood. But even in their darkest moments, Alianne and the other loyalists knew that the dawn's light would shine again...
* Despite the many hardships they had endured─or perhaps because of them─Biggs and Wedge greeted every new challenge with a smile. Their workshop their battlefield, their tools their weapons, they invariably rose to the occasion, delivering ingenious solutions to seemingly insoluble problems...
* Through tempestuous winds they carved a path, breaching the dread wyrm's sanctum, and there did they put him to the sword. Yet in the wake of hard-fought victory were secrets laid bare in a vision dark and disturbing. The legacy of the fathers, bequeathed to their sons and passed down through the generations... Old blood enduring in the new, the mark of original sin...
* A world apart from the opulence of the Pillars, Hilda and her people toiled, shrouded in the haze of the Brume. Sentenced to a life of hardship by birth, they dreamed of revolution as children dream of faeries. Then one came and went, and they suddenly found themselves with a seat at the table...
* An earnest, good-natured people, the Zundu tribe had borne witness to the rage of their beloved god's twisted manifestation, and proclaimed it to be false. By the grace of kind travelers were they duly delivered from its wrath, the mad god's death signaling the birth of a new hero...
* Y'mhitra knew that her sister had been under no illusions as to the dangers of the life she had chosen. Should the worst come to the worst, Y'shtola would do what needed to be done─pay any price, make any sacrifice, and that without hesitation. She was a woman of conviction, deserving of respect and admiration...and no small amount of worry...
* From the ashes of an abandoned colony would their brave new nation rise─a free and equal society for goblin and man, in which scholars and craftsmen could work together to build a better life. It would be nothing short of a paradise...in theory, at least...

* Visit Hilda in Ishgard.
* Visit Lonu Vanu at Ok' Zundu.

Soldier01477 	W-Wait, I know you! You're [Player Name]! [Player Name]!
Soldier01477 	What a stroke of luck! I can think of none better qualified to help us. You see, it is no mere noblewoman that we seek─
Soldier01477 	Ah, but Master Papashan was most explicit about the need for secrecy... Pray forget I mentioned it. We will find the su─ We will find the lady on our own.
 	
Alianne 	There you are, [Player Name]. Higiri told me of your pilgrimage. I knew it was only a matter of time before you sought me out.
Alianne 	I too have been reflecting on the choices which shaped my path. When I took to the road with my grandfather...when I joined the Crystal Braves...when I tried and failed to warn you before the banquet...
Alianne 	I had my suspicions about Wilred's death─that it was the work of a Garlean spy within our ranks. But I could not be sure who was involved, hence my desire to speak with you in private.
Alianne 	I thought long and hard about how to approach you without arousing suspicion... Mayhap too long. Eventually, I decided to arrange a meeting through Mistress Momodi. Little did I know that bastard Laurentius had seen me do it.
Alianne 	Shortly thereafter, the Fourth received urgent summons. Needless to say, I had no choice but to answer...and soon found myself at the mercy of Captain Ilberd's band of traitors.
Alianne 	They confined me to the Rising Stones, along with others still loyal to the Scions─Riol, Ephemie, Aergmhus... Quite what they planned to do with us, I couldn't say. Mayhap they thought we would turn, given time. The fools...
Alianne 	Lieutenant Yuyuhase bid the Third keep us under constant guard, but when Captain Ilberd moved to carry out General Raubahn's execution, they were forced to withdraw all but a token force, which we took by surprise one night. And then it was over.
Alianne 	One might argue that it turned out better than it had any right to, all things considered. Still, there are nights when I lie awake wondering, if I had done things differently─if I had been more careful, or more decisive─what then...
Alianne 	But there is naught to be gained from thinking thus. We must count our blessings, must we not? We are still here, and most of what was broken can be rebuilt. You will see, [Player Name]. You will see.
 	
Wedge 	Why, hello there, [Player Name]! Fancy meeting you here!
Biggs 	Reminiscing about the glory days, eh? Aye, we spent many a sleepless night hammering away in that corner of ours. How's your manacutter holding up, by the way?
Biggs 	Hah! That's good to hear. Not that I had any doubts, like─our craftsmanship's second to none!
Wedge 	Quite right! It will take more than swirling winds and raging dragons to bring her down─and that, my friend, is an Ironworks' guarantee!
Biggs 	Speaking of which─on the back of the field test's success, we've gone ahead and licensed the design for mass production. Soon, the Skysteel Manufactory will be churning out manacutters by the dozen!
Biggs 	...Which is why we're here today, as a matter of fact─to make sure their machinists don't bugger anything up.
Wedge 	Apparently, adventurers have been queuing up to place an order─and even some sky pirates! Ah, just imagining the Sea of Clouds teeming with our creations fills me with a father's pride!
Biggs 	Right, then─that's enough patting ourselves on the back! We've got to make sure the 'cutters are up to snuff, or Jessie'll never let us hear the end of it. From now till we finish, there'll be no more breaks, distractions, and not one wink of sleep, d'you hear me!?
Wedge 	Oh... <mumble> <mumble> ...ing cart chocobo.
Biggs 	Well, we'll leave you to it. Till next time, eh!?
 	
Hilda 	And there s/he is, at last. Gibrillont said you were wanderin' all over, reminiscin' about days gone by. Seems a bit soon if you ask me.
Hilda 	It's not like I don't understand, though. Some days, I'll be walkin' through the Brume, same as normal, and it'll hit me all of a sudden just how much has changed for us─though I know it's a bit different from what you've been through.
Symme 	Puts me in mind of the first time I saw her/him and her/his friends up near the aetheryte, being shown around by that House Fortemps man.
Hilda 	Oh? You never told me you'd met before.
Symme 	It weren't so much a meeting as a heckling, to be honest. When I heard their guide warning them off paying a visit to the Brume, it stuck in my craw. And you've got to admit that Master Alphinaud's the spitting image of a snotty little lordling...
Hilda 	A little lordling that went on to fight two knights of the Heavens' Ward with [Player Name] here in a trial by combat─not to mention helpin' retake the Vault from the True Brothers. Fury have mercy...it feels like a bleedin' lifetime ago, don't it?
Eudestand 	'Cause it was. What we've got now's nothin' like what came before. It's a bleedin' rebirth is what it is.
Hilda 	Cold comfort to the folk who died gettin' us here. Still, this peace is ours, and we owe it to ourselves to make the most of it.
Hilda 	...Meanin' we've got to work twice as hard to make the Brume a better place! And no more harassin' blue bloods neither!
Symme 	Aye, aye!
 	
Hilda 	I know you got Ser Charibert in the end, but I have to admit, I'm still a little bitter that it wasn't me. Gave me reason to practice my marksmanship, though.
 	
Symme 	Hahaha! Just goes to show that you can't judge a man by appearances, eh? Nor tell what fate's got in store for you. All the more reason to watch your words when you're in your cups!
 	
Eudestand 	Perhaps it's time the watch expanded its duties. Maybe help out with the reconstruction efforts...
 	
Lonu Vanu 	Ho, clouds part and let shine brilliant sun upon Lonu Vanu! Great netherling warrior returns to Ok' Zundu, and on pilgrimage of remembrance? Well, well!
Lonu Vanu 	We bid you warmest welcome, slayer of false gods and champion of fallen Gundu─whose fledgling village continues to grow and prosper, now free from the shadow of Vundu oppression.
Lonu Vanu 	Know that we will always be grateful to you for your victory over the ravenous White. No longer need we fear for the safety of our smallest islands.
Lonu Vanu 	But Lonu Vanu is not one to forget netherling's first coming, when s/he saves us from certain death at the hands of the black ones, distant memory though it is.
Lonu Vanu 	Yes! Her/His many deeds are the stuff of legends! We shall remember the stories, and the hero's name, [Player Name], for they are worthy of celebration now and ever after!
 	
Lonu Vanu 	If it pleases netherling, you are welcome to partake of fresh wamouracampae before parting. Tender, supple flesh gives way to sticky─ No? Then as raging typhoon strips fields bare, Lonu Vanu shall devour all!
 	
Ymhitra 	Well met, [Player Name]. What brings you here this night/day/day/night?
Ymhitra 	Indeed... Though it seems an age, it was not all that long ago that we rescued Shtola from the Lifestream. How quickly we begin to forget even those memories most precious to us.
Ymhitra 	In my defense, I might add that I have rarely missed an opportunity to make new memories with my sister in the days since her return.
Ymhitra 	Our conversations are largely on matters of scientific and professional concern─ancient Allagan technologies, primals, Ascians, and so forth. She has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, as you know.
Ymhitra 	Yet while I understand her desire not to burden those around her with her troubles, and to carry on as she did before, I do worry that her willingness to manipulate her own aether to compensate for the loss of her sight may have dire repercussions...
Ymhitra 	...She never told you, then? But of course not. 'Twould rather have defeated the purpose.
Ymhitra 	You should know that the technique she employs places a tremendous strain on her body. She is, of course, well aware of her limits...and more than willing to ignore them should she deem it necessary. I pray you see that she does not.
Ymhitra 	Regrettably, she is wont to ignore my advice when it does not suit her. Yet given your shared experiences, mayhap she will be more willing to heed your warnings.
 	
Ymhitra 	Alas, my studies of Allagan technology have not yielded any earth-shattering revelations of late. Rest assured, however, that I will inform Tataru immediately should that unhappy state of affairs chance to change.
 	
Slowfix 	Pshkohhh... Why must governing great gobbie nation be so difficult!? Like herding coeurls. Stupid coeurls with muchly differing views on glorious nation's future direction!
Slowfix 	...Yes, yes, Slowfix knows he is letting emotions run wild. Uplander is welcome voice of reason!
Slowfix 	Not like when uplanders first returned to Idyllshire, yes? So much venom in that one's tongueflaps, calling gobbieflock thieves! But Slowfix saw way to mutual understanding.
Slowfix 	Citizenship in society first step in strengthening communal ties! Gives all vested interest in continued prosperity of egalitarian utopia!
