Body and Soul (Final Fantasy XIV)

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Ardashir is ready to present the results of his research to Rowena. Perhaps due to the strange weather in Azys Lla, however, he is unable to contact her using his linkpearl. He bids you travel to Idyllshire and request she come to Azys Lla while he makes final preparations for the anima's unveiling.
* Rowena is pleased to hear work on the anima weapon is finally complete. Unfortunately, she has unfinished business keeping her in Idyllshire. She asks that you return to Azys Lla ahead of her.
* There is still time before Rowena arrives, and Ardashir seizes the opportunity to present you with a gift. You use the strange device he gives you to summon the anima, and are astonished to see it has taken on a new physical form. Ardashir explains this is made possible using the anima's original soulstone. Rowena arrives soon after to behold the fruits of your hard work. She is pleased with what Ardashir has accomplished, and looks forward to seeing more. When he mentions his plans to seek out a new blacksmith to aid him, all eyes are on Gerolt, who makes clear his intentions to leave now that he is debt free. His liberation is short-lived, however, when Rowena reminds him of the vast sums of gil he has spent since they began work on the anima. Firmly back under Rowena's thumb, he implores Ardashir to accept his help. Meanwhile, the anima suggests you leave to seek out new adventures.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Rowena in Idyllshire.
* With (your Anima weapon/shield) equipped or in your inventory, speak with Ardashir in Azys Lla.

Ardashir 	So good of you to come, [Player Name]. Did you rest well?
Ardashir 	Curious, are we? I am afraid you will have to wait a while longer. It is nearly ready, save for a few final adjustments.
Ardashir 	While I am finishing with this, I would ask you a favor.
Ardashir 	As you might remember, I wished to discuss something with you. Now that our work on the anima is complete, I would have Mistress Rowena come and see the fruits of our labor. But try as I might, there is naught but static when I call via linkpearl.
Ardashir 	Would you go and ask her to come here to Azys Lla?
Ardashir 	I should be finished by the time you return. She is sure to be pleased with what I have to show her, as will you.
 	
Rowena 	Well, if it ain't my favorite customer and business partner. Any new developments with the anima weapon?
Rowena 	Finished, you say? That's the best news I've had all day. Would that I could leave now to see it, but it'd be bad for business to leave clients waitin'. You tell Ardashir he can expect a visit from me as soon as I'm done here.
 	
Ardashir 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. ...Erm, If I may ask, why did you not bring the anima weapon? There can be no unveiling of the anima to Mistress Rowena without it.
Ardashir 	Please go and retrieve both the anima weapon and shield at once. Quickly, before she arrives.
Ardashir 	Please go and retrieve the anima weapon at once. Quickly, before she arrives.
Ardashir 	While we wait for Mistress Rowena to arrive, there is something I wish to give you.
Ardashir 	It is a device to be used when summoning the anima. Care to give it a try?
Bukinoseirei 	Did you call, [Player Name]? ...Oh my! My body is... Wh-What happened!?
Bukinoseirei 	Did you need something, [Player Name]? ...Huh!? Wh-What happened to my body?
Ardashir 	Despite all we have accomplished here, one thing still concerned me─the fact that your spirit is bound to the anima weapon, which is why you can only be summoned in its presence. What will happen, then, should s/he need your aid but not possess the weapon housing your spirit?
Ardashir 	It is why I created that new body. It is linked to you through your original soulstone, which still bears your aetherial signature. So long as [Player Name] keeps that device with her/him, your spirit can be channeled into this new, physical form.
Ardashir 	Consider it my gift to you, that none may break the bond shared between you and [Player Name].
Bukinoseirei 	Thank you, Ardashir. I will never leave her/his side. You have my word.
Bukinoseirei 	Thank you, Ardashir. I will never leave her/his side. You have my word.
Rowena 	What's this, then? You celebratin' without me?
Rowena 	[Player Name]'s told me everythin'. I take it this is the anima I've heard so much about.
Bukinoseirei 	It's a pleasure to meet you.
Bukinoseirei 	It's very nice to meet you.
Ardashir 	Magnificent, is it not? A life created with our own hands, forged into a weapon─the anima weapon. The perfect companion to accompany adventurers like [Player Name].
Rowena 	You've impressed me, Ardashir. With proper rearin' these anima'll make obedient helpers.
Rowena 	(...An' me a tidy profit.)
Rowena 	I can see my gil was well invested, an' I look forward to seein' more o' your work. Now that you've overcome the hurdle o' makin' the first, I'm sure a sharp lad like you can ready anima weapons for the masses in no time at all.
Ardashir 	Indeed, I have learned a great many lessons in my time here, thanks in no small part to [Player Name], and even Gerolt. I daresay it will not be long before all the realm knows of the wonder that is anima.
Ardashir 	But first I intend to return home. Fates permitting, I will find a capable smith to assist me in fashioning more anima weapons.
Gerolt 	You heard the boy. If he wants to go home, let him. I got better things to do than look after that streak o' piss while he makes more toys. With me debts repaid, I'm headin' to Costa del Sol for a well-earned─
Rowena 	Repaid? I never took you for the sort who jokes about money. You owe me plenty.
Gerolt 	Now hold on, Rowena. You promised to forget me debts once we were done with the anima weapon.
Rowena 	And I'm a woman of my word. What you owed before we started this little business venture's been forgiven. That just leaves the cost of comin' and goin' from Azys Lla, and a rather impressive bill for all that mead you drank.
Rowena 	I expect you to pay me back down to the last gil. O' course, I might be willin' to forgive an' forget again if you help our dear boy Ardashir.
Rowena 	Anyroad, I ought to be headin' back. Got business to tend to. Until next time, [Player Name], Ardashir.
Gerolt 	Oi, Ardashir... How's about I fire up the forge for another o' those anima weapons?
Ardashir 	The offer is appreciated, but no thank you. As I said, what I seek is a smith committed to making weapons, not wasting his days in pursuit of drink.
Gerolt 	Right then─no more drinkin' until we're done. Glad we got that settled.
Ardashir 	We have settled nothing! Even if I were to consent, you would never hold up your end of the agreement. Even now I can smell the foul odor of ale on your breath!
Bukinoseirei 	Perhaps we should leave them to settle this on their own. Surely there are others who need our assistance.
Bukinoseirei 	I think we'd do well not to interfere. Mayhap we can find others who need our assistance.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
