Forging Northwards

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Forgemaster Brithael thinks it is high time that a smith of your caliber earned realm-wide renown. He has even found you a potential employer: a noble house of Ishgard. Their representative, one Fremondain, awaits you at the Drowning Wench. Make your way there, and hear the man out.
* Fremondain, you learn, is a steward in the service of Baroness Laurisse de Jervaint. She is the lone daughter of House Jervaint, a family that has fallen from its once-lofty position within Ishgardian society. Thus, while the need for a blacksmith is great, the most that Fremondain can offer for your services is a healthy dose of “honor.” If this meager offer has not dissuaded you, seek out the steward in the Jeweled Crozier in Ishgard.
* After arriving in Ishgard, you speak with Fremondain. He introduces Baroness Laurisse to you, and explains the cause of House Jervaint's destitution─Ser Jervaint, the lady's father, lost his knighthood. Now, however, Ishgard's upcoming grand tournament may afford the baroness an opportunity to restore the family's good name─the champion of this event will be offered the knighthood her father lost. Before explaining how you fit into all of this, however, Fremondain notices that you are tired from your journey, and bids you seek him out again after you have recovered.
※The next blacksmith quest will be available from Fremondain upon reaching level 53.
==Objectives==

Brithael 	Ever since ye came to me, [Player Name], it's been smooth sailin' fer the guild. But I fear it's time fer ye to spread yer wings, an' earn a taste o' the renown owed a smith o' yer talent.
Brithael 	It jus' so happens I've found the perfect job fer ye─with proper Ishgardian nobility! Some steward by the name o' Fremondain's here all sly-like, after me very best!
Brithael 	Ain't no higher honor fer a smitty than winnin' a name in the land o' knights! So, I trust ye'll hear the man out? He's waitin' fer ye at the Wench.
 	
Brithael 	Ah, to be a smitty in the Holy See... Opportunity of a lifetime, an' Fremondain's offerin' it down at the Wench!
 	
Fremondain 	Might you be Master Brithael's pupil? A pleasure, madam/sir. I am Fremondain, steward to House Jervaint. How do you do?
Fremondain 	I have come to secure the services of a blacksmith. Your guildmaster intimated that you are the best. And only the best will do for my mistress, Baroness Laurisse.
Fremondain 	In another age, her family formed the backbone of the Temple Knights. However, the house has fallen upon hard times, and milady has lost her lands, her power, and her father.
Fremondain 	Yet her resolve is pure steel. She practices daily with a blade to earn a place among the Temple Knights, and thus restore her house's good name. Aid her, and I daresay your talent will become famous throughout the realm!
Fremondain 	I should mention that I cannot promise, er...traditional payment. But I am sure the honor of serving House Jervaint has intrigued you, at the very least, and I do hope you will join me at the Jeweled Crozier. I bid you good day, madam/sir.
Fremondain 	...Not enough to hire a chocobo home. <sigh> Well, I can walk. And sleep outdo─
Fremondain 	O-Oh! Please excuse me, madam/sir─it's...it's nothing. Really! Er...good-bye.
 	
Fremondain 	Mistress/Master [Player Name]! Thank you! I promise, you will not regret the journey here. I hereby entrust the arms and armor of House Jervaint to your able care.
Fremondain 	Why meet here? I am employed at this shop─a second job, to pay the bills. Er...I am loath to ask, but would you keep this secret from Baroness Laurisse?
Laurisse 	I beg your pardon, Fremondain─keep what from me?
Fremondain 	M-Milady! I...I was just saying you were keeping busy with your practice! Has it ended so soon?
Laurisse 	It takes rather little time to defeat striking dummies. And who is this?
Fremondain 	Ah, yes, allow me to present Mistress/Master [Player Name]─a most excellent blacksmith come to serve you.
Laurisse 	Ah. The rumors of your skill precede you, smith. I am glad to have you.
Laurisse 	Fremondain, I am going home. Does the pantry need for anything?
Fremondain 	Two pumpkins would be appreciated, milady. Unfortunately, I cannot leave to buy them myself in the middle of work─ A-Ah, I mean to say, I cannot leave before explaining the smith's duties to her/him!
Laurisse 	Very well. The shops of the Brume grow cheaper near closing, yes? Hopefully, the difference is worth the walk.
Fremondain 	<sigh> Milady should not have to worry about saving on foodstuffs...
Fremondain 	Few noble lines have seen more of their own as lord commander than House Jervaint. Baroness Laurisse's father was himself a renowned knight, until...
Fremondain 	Well, to give you an idea, the house once employed hundreds of servants. I am the only one left. Ser Jervaint did not tumble from knighthood─he was pushed, and his family lost much in his fall.
Fremondain 	To make matters worse, the Calamity claimed his life. But his dream of seeing his house's name restored did not die with him. Milady carries it within herself, and she is without parallel in her conviction. Why, in my eyes, she is Saint Finnea come again!
Fremondain 	And she is so close, Mistress/Master [Player Name]. Ishgard will hold its grand tourney soon, and the who's who of the Temple Knights will attend. They will extend knighthood to the champion. If that is the baroness...
Fremondain 	Yet as good as she may be, she wants for refinement in her techniques and equipment both. But with a master smith's aid, I know she can shine. Ah, but you must be tired from your journey. All this can wait until you are rested.
