The Next Ship to Sail

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
==Journal==
* Alphinaud calls the Scions to a meeting in Dawn's Respite that they might review what they know of the Telophoroi and their ominous towers. Events in Garlemald reinforce their suspicions that the onslaught of lunar primals is only a precursor to a far more deadly crisis─a crisis which must be stopped at any cost. As you ponder your options, Tataru interrupts the gathering to bring word from Krile that you may now journey unto Sharlayan, as well as instructions to make all haste to the docks in Limsa Lominsa.
* After an emotional farewell, you board the ship bound for Sharlayan. At sea you are greeted by a most unexpected visitor, Hydaelyn, who confirms some of what you know, and hints at more that you do not. Her weighty words still echo in your mind as the famous city of scholars appears on the horizon...
* Your entry into Sharlayan is not as smooth as you had hoped, but the timely arrival of Krile and her convincing arguments is enough to assuage the immigration officer's suspicions. Nevertheless, you deem it wise to move some distance away from the bureaucrat before you discuss the delicate matters at hand.
* Krile expresses relief at your safe arrival, and bids you take a moment to regain your land legs. If you are to embark on a quest for answers, you must mind your step on the treacherous path ahead...
==Objectives==
* Speak with Tataru in Limsa Lominsa.
* Speak with Krile.

Alphinaud 	[Player Name], do you have some time to talk?
Alphinaud 	I would like to gather everyone in Dawn's Respite and together assess the situation in which we find ourselves...
Alphinaud 	Let us take stock of the facts, shall we? The crisis at hand began with the sudden appearance of ominous towers in a multitude of locations throughout the world.
Alphinaud 	We have since learned that said structures were brought into being by an organization known as the “Telophoroi.”
Alphinaud 	The Telophoroi's stated purpose is to recreate the Final Days of eons past, an apocalyptic event that would result in the destruction of all we hold dear. Already have these towers of theirs been the cause of untold suffering.
Alisaie 	Countless innocents kidnapped and imprisoned, their faith perverted for primal summonings...
Alisaie 	And unless we find a way to deal with the corruptive aura surrounding the spires, we can't even get close enough to rescue anyone.
Alisaie 	Those shielded with the blessing of Light seem able to resist being tempered, at least.
Alisaie 	But after what happened to Arenvald and Fordola, we need to be very, very careful about how we proceed...
Thancred 	Yet while these threats close to home are of paramount concern, we mustn't lose sight of the situation in Garlemald.
Thancred 	As you know, the Telophoroi are under the leadership of Fandaniel and one other delightful fellow: Zenos yae Galvus, the crown prince and our dear friend.
Thancred 	To date, he's reclaimed his old body, murdered Emperor Varis, and plunged Garlemald into an even deeper pit of chaos.
Thancred 	The capital has probably seen the worst of it. For a good while there, it saw the bloodiest fighting in the war of succession. But that has since changed─and in troubling ways...
Urianger 	Aye, during our reconnaissance, the air was not once rent by the barking of cannons or the cries of discord. 'Twas an eerie fog of silence which did blanket that ruined city.
Urianger 	The inhabitants appeared to have been tempered, and with nary a word spoken did they labor to transform the palace into a soaring edifice born of nightmares.
Yshtola 	If they were indeed made thralls, it seems safe to assume that these events, too, were orchestrated by the Telophoroi.
Yshtola 	An army of primals is awful enough, but in light of recent developments, I fear it is only the prelude to an even greater catastrophe.
Yshtola 	We need to devise a means to counter this threat, and quickly, before our allies are overwhelmed.
Grahatia 	We will find a way in Sharlayan, I am sure of it.
Grahatia 	Master Fourchenault's comments regarding the Final Days were curious to say the least. The Forum knows more than it is letting on...
Tataru 	Sorry to interrupt!
Tataru 	We've just received word from Mistress Krile! She says that arrangements for your visit have been finalized.
Tataru 	You're to head to Limsa Lominsa and board the next ship bound for Sharlayan...
Tataru 	And on arrival, present yourselves as “associates of the Students of Baldesion,” come to assist with the order's restoration.
Estinien 	The arrangements may be settled, but what of your thoughts? They must race at the prospect of returning home after so long.
Alphinaud 	...I am eager to see it, of course. Of course... Ahem. We should set off at once!
Tataru 	Then I'll accompany you to the docks. You need at least one person there to wave and cry and wish you a safe journey!
 	
Ephemie 	Safe journeys! And please, do be careful!
 	
Alphinaud 	Though a part of me looks forward to returning home, I've not forgotten that my father stripped us of the privileges of our family name. I hope it doesn't cause trouble with the officials upon our arrival...
 	
Alisaie 	What a grim reason to bring you to Sharlayan. Not much to be done about it, I suppose, but I would've liked to give you the grand tour under happier circumstances.
 	
Thancred 	Contrary to what you might think, this will be like going home for me as well. I may have learned how to survive in Limsa Lominsa, but it was in Sharlayan where I was taught─quite relentlessly, I might add─the skills to properly live.
 	
Urianger 	I shudder to think what manner of truth awaiteth us beyond the Indigo Deep. Still more do I dread the prospect of discussions long overdue...
 	
Yshtola 	I might have lived in Master Matoya's cave for a good part of my life, but even for me, the thought of “returning” to Sharlayan is quite exciting. I can hardly imagine how it is for the others who lived most of their lives there.
 	
Grahatia 	I never thought the day would come when I would be sailing home again. It always seemed so very far away...
 	
Estinien 	Sea travel can be tedious, but I don't mind it. 'Tis a rare experience for most Ishgardians.
 	
Tataru 	Everyone's here! Which is good, because I've already paid for your passage, and the fee is nonrefundable.
Tataru 	The ship for Sharlayan should be pulling into port soon, so please follow me and have all your luggage close at hand!
 	
Alphinaud 	I'm fine. Honestly. Better to be waved through with a stern warning than be denied entry, after all.
 	
Alisaie 	That was about as awkward as expected. Still, we're here now, and that's all that matters!
 	
Thancred 	Even allowing that the years I spent in the First passed here in the blink of an eye, the city feels untouched by time...
 	
Urianger 	Allow me to extend unto thee my warmest welcome, [Player Name]. May the wisdom of my homeland aid us in our endeavors.
 	
Yshtola 	You are doubtless eager to take in the sights. Not to worry, [Player Name]─the city is not like to vanish before we finish our discussion.
 	
Grahatia 	Here we are at last─the great city of Sharlayan! You may have noticed some similarities with the Crystarium, yes? In fact, I─
Grahatia 	...Oh, but we really should let Krile have her say first. We can continue this conversation at another time.
 	
Estinien 	I am...unaccustomed to fabricating lies on demand. Why should it matter how I earn my living?
 	
Tataru 	Wait, what are you still doing here!? Um, I think I can book you passage on the next ship...though I'll have to revise the budget. Again.
 	
Krile 	I'm glad I spotted your ship coming into port─the officers are born bureaucrats and sticklers for detail. In any case, you may relax and take a moment to get your land legs back!
