Old Enemies, New Threats

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* You return to the Rising Stones to speak with Krile, who informs you that the Scions' bodies remain stable for the interim. Before she has time to inquire after your efforts in the First, however, an unexpected visitor arrives─Maxima. Unforeseen threats may soon arise from within Garlemald, and Commander Aldynn would discuss strategy with you. Not wanting to leave the realm's woes solely on your shoulders, Krile accompanies you to offer what insight she can.
* As you step into the conference room, you are taken aback to see Commander Aldynn in talks with Gaius Baelsar. He recounts his battle in the imperial palace with a Zenos now whole of body and spirit, followed by an equally startling revelation─the Empire is developing a new Ultima Weapon, and one of its prototypes may soon find its way to Eorzea.
* Once more the realm is faced with great peril, as are the Scions whose link to the Source grows woefully thin. To which plight will you turn your attention first?
==Objectives==
* Speak with Maxima at the Ala Mhigan Quarter in the Lochs.
* Speak with Krile.

Krile 	[Player Name]. My, what a pleasant surprise.
Krile 	If you've come to inquire after the Archons, fear not. Master Matoya's treatment has proven effective in stabilizing their corporeal aether.
Krile 	We mustn't grow complacent, however. Potent though these magicks may be, they are not without limits.
Krile 	We can only hope they afford us enough time for the Crystal Exarch to complete his work.
 	
Tataru 	If only we could go with you to the First and help...
Maxima 	Pardon the interruption, but I come bearing urgent news.
Maxima 	Ah, [Player Name]. It has been far too long, my friend.
Maxima 	Forgive me, I don't believe we have been formally introduced.
Maxima 	Maxima, former Garlean ambassador. I remain here in Eorzea under the auspices of Commander Aldynn, offering what counsel I can in the hopes of resolving the present conflict with the Empire.
Krile 	Ah, yes. I have heard stories of a defector from Garlemald. But never mind that─you said you have urgent news?
Maxima 	Indeed. As you may have heard, the imperial capital is in turmoil, and a sizable portion of the Garlean forces have been recalled from the Ghimlyt Dark.
Maxima 	With their numbers so greatly diminished, the main host of the Alliance has withdrawn, leaving the Ala Mhigan Resistance to keep watch over the border.
Maxima 	And it is there we have welcomed a most unexpected visitor who claims that this de-escalation may belie growing dangers and unforeseen threats.
Maxima 	Commander Aldynn has arranged for an impromptu meeting to discuss these revelations. He has also requested a representative of the Scions attend as well, though it was clear to whom he wished I extend this invitation.
Krile 	It would seem time is of the essence.
Krile 	Well, you'll not be attending this meeting alone. Though I am not as well versed in the affairs of city-states as our comrades, I see no reason to burden a single Scion with all this.
 	
Maxima 	Yes, of course. Then we must make for the Ala Mhigan Quarter with all haste.
Tataru 	Well? What are you waiting for? Get going, you two!
 	
Tataru 	Don't worry about the others. I'll keep an eye on them while you and Krile are away.
Krile 	Much has changed since the first time we set foot in this city. Now we strive to preserve their freedom rather than reclaim it. But we've no time to reminisce─we mustn't keep the commander waiting.
 	
Maxima 	Commander Aldynn awaits us in the royal palace. If you would follow me.
 	
Resistance officer	Commander Aldynn has instructed me to escort you to Alliance Headquarters for further briefing. When you are ready to depart, you need only ask.
 	
Krile 	As ever, the way forward is paved with difficult decisions.
Krile 	We can ill afford to ignore the threat of a new Ultima Weapon. But with each passing day, the plight of the Scions grows ever more perilous.
Krile 	If you cannot stay for...a debriefing on the Ultima Weapon, I will not stop you. I only ask that you confer with me before returning to the First.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
