Growingway 	It may not seem like it, but we've been planning for this far longer than I'd care to admit.
Growingway 	Each time we woke up, we'd have long discussions about how to save as many of you as we can. Felt like everyone had an opinion on this or that.
Growingway 	But the one thing we all agreed upon was that the people of Etheirys wouldn't take action to save themselves until it was far too late.
Growingway 	That's why we're striving to make the moon a vibrant, magical place they'd hop at the chance to visit, rather than waiting for the flames of oblivion to get them off their tails and force them to accept our invitation.
Growingway 	The residential quarters may not be up to the necessary standards just yet, but there are plenty of other places worth seeing!
Growingway 	You've already had a look around the Carrotorium, but wait until you see what's waiting for you at the east end of the burrow. Follow me!
 	
Growingway 	Good, you're here. Through this door is Greatest Endsvale!
Growingway 	It was named as such because it's the vale to end all vales. The most beautiful forest you'll ever see.
Growingway 	We understand the people of Etheirys enjoy taking leisurely walks through “natural spaces” and the like, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Growingway 	How about we start with a nice stroll to the fountain? This way!
 	
Growingway 	So, what did you think of the forest? Isn't it positively pleasant? Simply sublime?
 	
Growingway 	You're pulling my tail! You're in the forest right now!
Growingway 	Right you are! Our forest is made of crystals and constructs, dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see.
Growingway 	You really think so? Truly?
Growingway 	Hearing you say that means more to me than you know. Personally, I'd say this place is the pride of the burrow.
Growingway 	Building this place was a challenge, let me tell you. Since we were born here, we've never seen trees in person before, let alone a forest.
Growingway 	The information sent by our collaborators was quite enlightening, but after much deliberation, we decided to use crystalline constructs in place of living trees.
Growingway 	And thanks to our atmospheric circulation system, this place produces air as clean as that you'd find in a forest on Etheirys!
Growingway 	The fountain here behind us, powered by the rather large crystal adorning its top, plays a vital role in supplying us with fresh water.
Growingway 	Much time and effort was spent making it the most spherical of spheres, and I daresay the unparalleled roundness speaks for itself.
Growingway 	I enjoy nothing more than a nice, long stretch and a spot of relaxation whenever I come up here. You look like you could do with a stretch yourself.
 	
Growingway 	Feeling tense, [Player Name]? Why not stretch and relax?
 	
Growingway 	Is...is that how people stretch on Etheirys? Please tell me it isn't.
 	
Growingway 	That's the spirit! I feel more relaxed simply watching you.
Growingway 	A sight worth the many years spent building this place.
Growingway 	If it's not too much to ask... It's always been a dream of mine to take a walk through this forest with someone from Etheirys. Could we maybe...?
 	
Growingway 	<gasp> You will!? Oh, be still my quivering whiskers!
 	
Growingway 	Ahhh... Nothing like a relaxing stroll to forget one's worries, eh?
 	
Growingway 	I understand... Being Hydaelyn's chosen and all, I'm sure you have more important things to do. If you change your mind, though, I'll be over at the fountain.
Growingway 	Y-You're back? You're back! I mean... Ahem. It's good to see you. Looking to take a walk through the forest, are you?
 	
Growingway 	I was thinking, [Player Name]...that I could be more helpful to you by teaching you a little about the moon and what it is we do.
Growingway 	When we were first created, the moon's sole purpose was to hold Zodiark, and there was absolutely nothing to be found here.
Growingway 	Eventually, Hydaelyn gave us our first task: furnish the moon with propulsion systems capable of facilitating travel to other stars.
Growingway 	It sounds impressive, and I suppose in some respects it is, but it was only possible thanks to all the knowledge Hydaelyn shared with us. We also had a lot of time to get it done. Six thousand years, give or take.
Growingway 	But anyway, let's keep going.
 	
Growingway 	What...? N-No! I'm not sure what it is you do with crystals on Etheirys, but we don't eat them─and certainly not this one. It's possessed of all six elements─wind, lightning, fire, earth, ice, and water. We use crystals like these to maintain the moon's elemental equilibrium.
Growingway 	It's worth mentioning, though, that because of Hydaelyn's influence─being the embodiment of tranquility and stasis and all─manipulating the elements here is different than it might be on Etheirys.
Growingway 	A conjuring of fire would sooner dry your clothes than singe them, for example. Put simply, the aetheric conditions are ill-suited to growth, which is why the surface is mostly barren.
Growingway 	Of course, this was all necessary to keep the raging energies of Zodiark in check.
 	
Growingway 	This may come as a surprise, but we didn't begin building the habitable areas until after the propulsion systems were ready.
Growingway 	Considering how long it took, I wish we'd started sooner. Who would've thought we'd need four thousand years to make all this?
Growingway 	It certainly wasn't work you dare rush, either. We had to create infrastructure and countless supporting systems, some of which wouldn't be operational until hundreds of years later.
Growingway 	And then there was that brief period where our productivity came to a screeching halt─when that bizarre red satellite was sent up from Etheirys. The Allagans' mischief, I think.
Growingway 	We thought maybe some new, nefarious actor was colluding with Zodiark. All we could do was stand by and brace ourselves for the worst.
Growingway 	I can't tell you how relieved we were when Hydaelyn informed us of its destruction. Oh yes, there was much joyous humming that day.
 	
Growingway 	Say, do you notice anything peculiar about the treetops? I mean, apart from the fact they're massive crystals, and not trees.
Growingway 	I'll give you a hint: it's the golden rings emanating from the glowing spheres.
Growingway 	Along with the device fixed near the ceiling, they fulfill a role similar to our sun─and do so better, even.
Growingway 	The sun and similar celestial objects in the great expanse radiate energy that is harmful to your bodies. These rings shield you from that energy while allowing you to bathe in the perfect amount of sunlight. Or rather, a close approximation of it.
Growingway 	Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say? Oh, and if you look closely, you'll see different types of “trees” have ever-so-slightly different curvature! Yes indeed, this forest truly is the greatest.
 	
Growingway 	There was something else I wanted to tell you about. Uh... Oh, right.
Growingway 	The propulsion systems and habitat facilities were completed around two thousand years ago, and with that, the most important features were fit for purpose.
Growingway 	Which was all well and good, except we still knew absolutely nothing about the present-day people of Etheirys.
Growingway 	“Why not go and visit Etheirys yourself?” you might ask. Strictly forbidden. Were our technology or knowledge of the moon's true purpose exploited for evil ends...the results could be disastrous.
Growingway 	Then there were a few more Rejoinings, and it became increasingly difficult to converse with Hydaelyn.
Growingway 	Fearful we might lose the ability to communicate with Her altogether, we beseeched Her to find people on Etheirys we could trust to help.
Growingway 	We were quite fortunate everything worked out as it did.
 	
Growingway 	With the exception of routine inspections and maintenance, we remained asleep and waited, hopeful Hydaelyn would find someone who would help us.
Growingway 	Eventually She did, and though Her power was waning, we were able to speak to them directly for a short while.
Growingway 	We shared with them everything we could, including our knowledge of the heavens, and a means to travel here to the moon.
Growingway 	They certainly didn't waste any time with what we taught them. No more than a few years after that, our collaborators found a means to convey messages and supplies to us from down below.
Growingway 	With all the letters, books, and other resources they sent, we learned enough to start making more meaningful changes to the moon.
Growingway 	And now you're here, hopefully enjoying yourself as much as I am!
Growingway 	I knew you would like Greatest Endsvale, I knew it!
Growingway 	Thank you again for coming here, by the way. I know it was just a walk through the forest, but it meant a lot to me.
Yshtola 	There you are.
Thancred 	I take it you've already received the grand tour? A shame we missed it.
Livingway 	Growingway! I've been looking all over for you!
Growingway 	Oh! I, uh... Is this about the teleporter to the residential area?
Livingway 	No, never mind that. We have more pressing matters at hand.
Livingway 	I will be calling an emergency meeting shortly, and your attendance is required.
Growingway 	Really...? I can't imagine why you'd need me there, but if you insist.
Livingway 	We won't be away long, so you all are more than welcome to continue looking about the burrow. Now, come along, Growingway.
Yshtola 	Before we arrived, you seemed to be in the midst of a rousing conversation with your guide. Did you learn anything of import?
Thancred 	They've spent twelve thousand years preparing for this?
Thancred 	With the appointed hour fast approaching, I can certainly understand their restlessness. But still...
Yshtola 	It remains to be seen if the people can be persuaded to evacuate when there are yet no signs of the Final Days.
Yshtola 	What's more, the technology of this place defies imagination. I doubt there are many who would readily come to terms with living in such surroundings.
Thancred 	Whoever these collaborators are, unless they are possessed of the world's most charming personalities or a means to forcibly evacuate people, they will meet with a great deal of resistance.
Yshtola 	Indeed. Even if faced with annihilation, the decision to forsake all one knows cannot be made lightly.
Urianger 	Forgive me, friends, but I must beg your leave. There is another matter which yet begs for mine attention.
Thancred 	Of course. We can accompany you if you like.
Urianger 	Nay, that will not be necessary. If you will excuse me.
 	
Thancred 	Huh... What do you suppose has suddenly tickled his fancy?
 	
Yshtola 	'Tis clear now that difficult decisions lie ahead of us.
Yshtola 	Preparation for the evacuation of Etheirys is indeed crucial, but I am not yet willing to forsake our world and its reflections─and I trust I am not alone in my reticence.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
