Underneath the Sultantree

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The stationmaster explains that he and the Sultansworn are in fact searching for Lady Lilira, a young noblewoman who has run away from home. He asks you to search for Lilira in the area to the south, near the Sultantree.
* At the Sultantree, you find the young runaway, along with a sarcastic fellow who seems to know her well. Moments later, voidsent attack, forcing you to work together to protect Lady Lilira.
* No sooner have you bested the creatures than you are overcome by strange visions, the meaning of which eludes you. When you subsequently come to your senses, you are relieved to find that Lady Lilira is safe, and apparently eager to return to the city. Head back to the Ul'dah Dispatch Yard and report all that has occurred to Papashan.
* Papashan explains that the young man was most likely Thancred, a scholar conducting research on aether-related subjects. The stationmaster then thanks you for protecting Lady Lilira and asks that you show that same kindness to the other people of Thanalan.
==Objectives==
* Search for Lilira near the Sultantree.
* Report to Papashan.

Papashan 	[Player Name], I have just this moment─ No! No, the time for concealment is past! The truth is, even before I had you deliver those pretzels, I was privy to some most unsettling news!
Papashan 	...Which is the real reason I sent you to meet those Sultansworn.
Papashan 	A young noblewoman from a very prestigious family has run away from home, and I have been ordered to see to her safe return.
Papashan 	The Sultansworn you met earlier are assisting with the search. Alas, it seems they have found no trace of her.
Papashan 	I apologize for not being frank with you from the start, but we must proceed with caution─should word of her disappearance spread, I fear others with less honorable motives may join the hunt.
Papashan 	And should we allow her to come to any harm, not even a hundred beheadings would be punishment enough...
Papashan 	That cannot happen, [Player Name]. It must not!
Papashan 	I need you to help me find her!
Papashan 	Praise the Twelve, I knew I could count on you!
Papashan 	I've instructed the others to expand the search, but Thanalan is vast and there are only so many of us.
Papashan 	The young noblewoman's name is Lady Lilira. I want you to go south and look for her in the vicinity of the Sultantree. Good luck!
 	
Lilila 	O Sultantree...
Lilila 	O Sultantree, hallowed spirit of my line, forgive my weakness. My failings have cost us dear...
 	
Lilila 	Show yourself!
 	
Thancred 	As you command, O Lilira.
 	
Thancred 	Forgive my selfish desire to assure your welfare.
 	
Lilila 	I don't recall requesting an escort! Simply pretend we never met and continue on your way.
 	
Thancred 	We both know I can do no such thing. It isn't safe for you here alone.
 	
Thancred 	It isn't safe for anyone─not with this aetheric disturbance... It's as though the dead are watching us...
 	
Thancred 	And I'd prefer not to join them, if it's all the same to you.
 	
Thancred 	Ah, you must be the one that Papashan mentioned. Congratulations on finding our elusive young charge.
 	
Thancred 	You'll have to forgive Her Impetuousness. What she lacks in discipline, she makes up for in stubbornness.
 	
Thancred 	How peculiar... I could swear we've met, but haven't the faintest recollection as to where or when.
 	
Thancred 	Must be the damned heat playing tricks on me. I'd best retire before I start having visions.
 	
Thancred 	You should return with us. The stationmaster will be eager to thank Lady Lilira's protector in person.
 	
Thancred 	Alas, the stationmaster will have to wait.
 	
Thancred 	Dear Lilira, for my sake, please stay out of harm's way.
 	
Thancred 	As for you, dear friend─for Lilira's sake─please stay in harm's way!
 	
Thancred 	...
 	
Mothercrystal 	Hear... Feel... Think...
 	
Thancred 	Ah, coming around now.
 	
Lilila 	Would you mind telling me what that was?
 	
Thancred 	If I only knew. A denizen of the void, at any rate.
 	
Lilila 	The voidsent? Here? But how?
 	
Thancred 	The question isn't “how,” but “who”─we're not dealing with bookless bandits.
 	
Thancred 	Don't suppose the answer came to you in a dream?
 	
Thancred 	No sooner did you fell the beast than you fell asleep. Too much aether, no doubt.
 	
Thancred 	Interesting... I hadn't considered the Crystal.
 	
Thancred 	But of course... This changes everything.
 	
Thancred 	Hm? Oh, just thinking aloud. At any rate, we haven't a moment to spare. I must return and report this at once.
 	
Thancred 	I leave Lady Lilira in your capable hands!
 	
Lilila 	How dare you pass me about like a swaddled babe!
 	
Lilila 	I shall return and tell them myself!
 	
Thancred 	As you wish, Your Impetuousness.
 	
Thancred 	I suspect we shall meet again before long.
 	
Thancred 	Until then, do try and stay awake!
Papashan 	Thank the gods you've returned! You had us all so worried!
Papashan 	You do realize what would happen if a person of your noble stature were to be injured─or worse?
Papashan 	Why, Her Grace the sultana would be beside herself with grief─and so would her subjects! I daresay they'd be weeping in the streets!
Lilila 	But I have already given you cause to weep, Papashan...you and the people of Ul'dah...
Papashan 	Please, Your─ You're not to say such things! We will find it, I swear to you!
Papashan 	It is not my place to make demands, m-my lady, but I beg you, please stay out of harm's way.
Lilila 	...I apologize for causing you undue worry, Papashan. I shall refrain from traveling unescorted in future.
Papashan 	I cannot thank you enough, [Player Name]!
Papashan 	I understand you fought bravely to protect Lady Lilira from voidsent fiends.
Papashan 	For your gallant service, you deserve all the riches in the royal vaults. Alas, a small token of my gratitude is the best I can offer.
Papashan 	...Hm? A sarcastic man with a strange contraption strapped to his shoulder?
Papashan 	I see you met Thancred. He's a scholar who spends his days investigating oddities in the aether. Rather too fond of the sound of his own voice for my liking, but perfectly harmless.
Papashan 	As for you, [Player Name]─you're just the sort of adventurer we need around here.
Papashan 	I pray you show the same kindness to the people of Thanalan as you did to us today.
