Homecoming (Final Fantasy XIV)

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Both Silvairre and Leih Aliapoh appear to be lost in thought. Speak first with Silvairre and see what is troubling him.
* Silvairre grudgingly reveals his intention to leave the guild. He is determined to bring Pawah Mujuuk to justice, believing that it will grant him a measure of redemption for the time he failed to do so as a Quiverman. Realizing that you cannot sway him from his path, you resolve to turn your attention to Leih, who seems utterly crestfallen.
* As if Silvairre's announcement weren't shocking enough, Leih declares her intention to leave not only the guild, but Gridania at large. Before she departs, however, she would speak with you in private. Meet her in the South Shroud and see her off on her journey.
* Leih reveals that she believed her place to be with her fellow Keepers of the Moon, and not with the people of Gridania. However, she could not bear to let Pawah murder you, and was thus denied the company of her kind. With nowhere left to go, she asks you to meet her at the Bannock, and help her to understand how one can live as an outsider in Gridania.
* Leih flies into a rage and attacks you, leaving you little choice but to fight, as a crowd of slack-jawed Twin Adder recruits look on. After you subdue her, she awakens as if from a trance, realizing that the fear of dishonoring her old family, who perished in the Calamity, was preventing her from embracing her new one. She resolves to return to the guild and be with those who know her best. Follow in her wake and inform Luciane that all is well.
* Before you can utter a word, Luciane bids you stop, and states that merely looking at the returning Leih's eyes has told her all that she needs to know. She thanks you for helping Leih to see that her place is with the guild, and hopes that you will be of similar aid to other archers who lose their way.※The next archer quest will be available from Luciane upon reaching level 30.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Silvairre.
* Speak with Leih Aliapoh.
* Meet Leih Aliapoh in the South Shroud.
* Speak with Leih Aliapoh at the Bannock.
* Report to Luciane.

Luciane 	Ah, [Player Name], I had hoped you would come. You may be able to help. I am concerned about Leih and Silvairre...
Luciane 	They show signs of losing perspective, and... Well, mayhap it is best you see for yourself. I cannot help but feel that both would benefit from your counsel.
Luciane 	Consider this a personal request, [Player Name].
 	
Silvairre 	Hm? Oh, gods... Did Luciane send you to pester me, by any chance? This is hardly her concern, and it is most definitely not yours.
Silvairre 	If you must know, I have decided to leave the guild.
Silvairre 	I mean to track down Pawah Mujuuk and finish what we started. The Gods' Quiver and Wood Wailers seem content to ignore our warnings, but I will not let her escape again.
Silvairre 	I already made that mistake once, and it cost me my place in the Gods' Quiver.
Silvairre 	Aye, the foolish young sentry of whom I once spoke─he was me. <sigh> We had her, [Player Name]. There was no escape. But then she began to wail about a wounded comrade, one who would surely die without her help... She looked me straight in the eye and begged...
Silvairre 	And I blinked. I failed to see through the most elementary ruse. I failed Gridania and the Gods' Quiver...and while that can never be forgiven, mayhap I can reclaim a measure of honor by stopping her.
Silvairre 	...But a wanderer like you would not understand what it means to betray your people.
Silvairre 	Worry not─I do not intend to leave just yet. I will continue to gather information until I am certain of Mujuuk's whereabouts. Make no mistake, though─it is only a matter of time.
Silvairre 	Now run along, will you? Oh, and if you are so concerned about your fellow guildmates, you should attend to that moping Miqo'te. The sight of her shuffling around whilst staring at her feet is bad for morale.
Silvairre 	...Not that it matters to me.
Leih Aliapoh 	Oh...it's you. Tell me, [Player Name], do you ever think about home? Do you ever wish you could go back?
Leih Aliapoh 	Mine was just another poor village in the Twelveswood. The fields were more stone than soil, and merchants hardly ever bothered to visit. We didn't have a lot...but we didn't need it.
Leih Aliapoh 	And then the Calamity came. I remember running, and the screams... It was so loud, [Player Name]...so unbearably loud... And then I was here, in a strange city, surrounded by more people than I'd ever seen, and I didn't know any of them.
Leih Aliapoh 	But I knew how to hunt. I was always good at hunting, [Player Name], and the guild gave me a place to get better.
Leih Aliapoh 	At least I thought I had gotten better. She...Pawah Mujuuk...she was so much more...
Leih Aliapoh 	I've been thinking, [Player Name], that maybe this is a sign. Maybe Silvairre is right, and this guild─this city─is no place for an outsider like me.
Leih Aliapoh 	And so I've decided to leave. I'm glad to have known you, [Player Name], even if it was only for a short while.
Leih Aliapoh 	Forgive me if this is too selfish a request, but before I go, I would like to meet with you one last time.
Leih Aliapoh 	Alone, in the South Shroud. These...Gridanians would not understand.
 	
Leih Aliapoh 	No! Don't hurt her/him!
Pawah Mujuuk 	And there I was, thinkin' ye mightn't accept my kind invitation!
Pawah Mujuuk 	...I don't recall invitin' her/him, though... 'Tis rude to presume, missy/sonny, an' I do so hate rudeness...
Leih Aliapoh 	Wait! It's not her/his fault─it's mine! I invited her/him. She/He's a member of the Archers' Guild, like me─and s/he's not Gridanian!
Pawah Mujuuk 	Ahhh...I do begin to recall her/his face... Aye, knows how to hold a bow, that one. Well, s/he ain't the typical recruit, but I reckon I might be willin' to make an exception.
Leih Aliapoh 	No, no─it's not like that. I just...I wanted to say good-bye.
Leih Aliapoh 	[Player Name], ever since I met Pawah, I've been at a loss. But I realize now that my place isn't at the guild...with the Gridanians.
Leih Aliapoh 	They'll never accept me. This is where I belong, with my people, carrying on our traditions. Our archery─not Gridania's.
Leih Aliapoh 	It's all I have left, [Player Name]. So I'm going with Pawah. Maybe you don't understand now, but...just promise me you won't tell Luciane...or Silvairre.
 	
Leih Aliapoh 	[Player Name]...
Pawah Mujuuk 	Made yer peace with yer little friend, have ye? Right then, let's get on with it!
 	
Leih Aliapoh 	[Player Name]!
Pawah Mujuuk 	Heh! I had a feelin' s/he might be harborin' a few nigglin' objections. Worry not, sister...
 	
Pawah Mujuuk 	Put an arrow in her/Shoot the bastard!
Leih Aliapoh 	NO!
Pawah Mujuuk 	Ain't no love lost 'twixt ye an' the guild, is there? Then what's the problem with featherin' a bloody 'venturer? No bugger'll miss her/him.
Leih Aliapoh 	I'll miss her/him, all right!? So just...just stop!
Pawah Mujuuk 	Dear me... An' I had such high hopes for you, Miss Aliapoh... Waste o' bloody time! A Keeper what's lost her nerve's about as much use to me as a glass bow.
Pawah Mujuuk 	But there's no sport in killin' captured prey.
Pawah Mujuuk 	Ack! I'd better not see neither o' ye again, 'cause if I do, I'll show ye what happens to prey what's daft enough to get caught twice. Away, sisters! Away!
 	
Leih Aliapoh 	How do you do it, [Player Name]? How do you live in this place─with these people?
Leih Aliapoh 	And why do you even bother? What have they ever given you beside scorn? Well? What do you see in them, [Player Name]?
Leih Aliapoh 	Even though you joined the guild after I did, you've come so far, so quickly. Maybe you've even surpassed me...
Leih Aliapoh 	I have to know how you've done it. I have to know what it is that I'm doing wrong...
Leih Aliapoh 	...And there's only one way I can think of to find out. Meet me at the Bannock.
 	
Leih Aliapoh 	Shall we begin, [Player Name]?
Leih Aliapoh 	Whenever you're ready. I'll be waiting.
Leih Aliapoh 	Then defend yourself! Show me what these people have taught you!
 	
Leih Aliapoh 	<pant> <pant> It's so simple...
Leih Aliapoh 	You have opened your eyes, and looked beyond your masters' faults. You've accepted their teachings and taken them to heart. Even Silvairre, for all his bigotry, wishes only to preserve his traditions.
Leih Aliapoh 	I lost sight of everyone else's struggles and became obsessed with mine own. I was so afraid to let go of my cherished notion of archery─my family's notion─and learn another way. I didn't want to betray them...or dishonor their memory.
Leih Aliapoh 	...But I have a family here too─a family that sees the wider world, and is willing to show me how blinkered I have become.
Leih Aliapoh 	As archers, we train our eyes and minds to be unforgiving─to defy any attempt at concealment, and discern the naked truth. It is little wonder then that I have neglected to look inside myself until now. Though unquestionably worthwhile, I have found the experience rather...excruciating. Ahem!
Leih Aliapoh 	Thank you, [Player Name]. I know now that I belong at the guild, together with you and Luciane...
Leih Aliapoh 	...And, yes, even that bloody Wildwood. Gods help me─I think I might actually miss him...
 	
Luciane 	Welcome home, [Player Name].
Luciane 	You need not say a word. One look at Leih's eyes was enough.
Luciane 	Thank you for returning her to us.
Luciane 	When we focus on a single goal and pursue it with passion and fervor, it becomes easy to lose sight of what else lies before us.
Luciane 	With your skill and vision, [Player Name], you can help your fellow archers to look beyond themselves and remember their comrades. I hope I can count on your support in the future.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
