Heavensturn (2024)

Tip the Scales in Your Favor was the 2024 edition of the seasonal event Heavensturn in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event was started by accepting the sidequest by talking to Ryu Metsuke at Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X:11.5 Y:13.9)
==History==
The ryu metsuke informs that this year's Heavensturn celebration is paying homage to the draconic ryu of the Far East. However, he is less than pleased to report that his mascots are having trouble winning over a girl. Wishing to discover the cause of the cold reception, Metsuke asks the Warrior of Light to help him deal with it.
Ryu Bugyo, introduces the mascot Ryunosuke, a chocobo chick dressed in ryu costumes. However, the mascot doesn't attract the girl's interest. While Bugyo and Warrior of Light talk about the problem, the girl leaves the place and Ryunosuke follows her. Ryu Bugyo and Warrior of Light search for the girl and the missing mascot. They discovers that the girl's name is Sibly and that she fears for the safety of her merchant father, who will soon embark on a long journey to Hingashi. Eager not only to reunite with Ryunosuke, but also to explain the meaning of her costume, Bukyo sets off for the Agelyss River, in the Middle La Noscea, where the girl is believed to be.
The pair find Sibly on the riverbed with Ryunosuke by her side. The girl apologizes for causing trouble, but before she can leave, the bugyo brings up the subject of her father and his impending trip. Sibly explains that, because Llymlaen wasn't chosen in this Heavensturn, she thought she could pray to a deity in the Far East to keep her father safe. So she sought out the bugyo, only to discover that she was too focused on her own mission to listen to her. Reflecting on her mistake, the bugyo takes inspiration from Ryunosuke and tells a new story about a ryu to give comfort to Sibly. The ryu bugyo tells a story about Seiryu, one of the Four Lords of Far Eastern myth. According to the tales passed down through the bugyo lineage, Seiryu was a deity who possessed mastery over water, which he used to help mortals by quelling storms and calming the seas. The existence of such a benevolent being serves to reassure Sibly. 
With his task satisfactorily accomplished, the bugyo returns to Limsa Lominsa. Hoping to continue their draconic discussions, the bugyo was eager to try to get close to the locals once again. With the help of the Warrior of Light, they inspired the residents of Limsa Lominsa to take an interest in the ryu. Sibly shows up and introduces her father, who thanks her for everything they've done for Sibly.
