The Rising (2016)

The The Crystal Caravan Takes Center Stage! was the 2016 edition of the seasonal event The Rising in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event was started by accepting the sidequest by talking to Crystal Caravan Leader in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:10.3 Y:9.2).
==History==
The Warrior of Light has met the leader of Crystal Caravan, a traveling puppet troupe. The troupe plans to mark the anniversary of the rebirth of the realm by performing a play depicting Calamity, but the actor assigned to the role of the Warrior of Light would like more information to bring his role to life. In addition, the script the troupe has received is proving to be of little use in determining the best course of action. Wanting to present the most entertaining show possible, the troupe asks Warrior of Light to help the actor learn more about Calamity and improve his performance.
Speaking with Momodi Modi, she recalls the events of five previous years and laments that no one can remember the faces or names of the Warriors of Light. She emphasizes that the selflessness of their deeds should be remembered, and the Crystal Caravan actor promises to fulfill her request.
After they visit Baderon Tenfingers, he recalls the day the Eorzean Alliance entered the battlefield under the specter of Dalamud. He tells how the dreadwyrm Bahamut erupted from the lesser moon, covering the earth with flames. Baderon says that the troops kept fighting, until, the dragon suddenly disappeared from the skies. Although no one knows exactly what happened, the kingdom was spared certain annihilation. The rising actor is once again inspired, promising to capture the heroism of the soldiers and the ferocity of Bahamut.
Miounne, tells about the Archon Louisoix Leveilleur. She says that the man is much loved in Gridania, and that he often worked together with the Warriors of Light. His sacrifice at the Battle of Carteneau is remembered by all, and Miounne's words encourage the star of the Crystal Caravan to immortalize the Archon's deeds on stage.
Returning to Ul'dah, The Crystal Caravan leader thanks them for their help. The rest of the troupe shows up with some grave news: the lead actor has been injured and cannot take the stage. Disheartened that they may miss an opportunity to perform, the troupe is about to give up when their leader is struck with a brilliant idea. She suggests that Warrior of Light take the stage in place of the injured actor. 
The stage was set and the Crystal Caravan put their expectations on Warrior of Light. After the performance was a success, the leader of the Crystal Caravan praised the performance. As the troupe leader tells it, the playwright himself was in the audience. To the surprise of the Warrior of Light, the author of the play reveals himself to be none other than the Wandering Minstrel. He expresses his deepest gratitude for bringing his script to life and bids you a heartfelt and encouraging farewell. The leader of the Crystal Caravan was probably curious to hear what the bard had to say.
The troupe leader is accompanied by his lead actor, who also thanks. Although he has heard much about the performance, unfortunately he was unable to attend due to his injuries. He makes a heartfelt plea for the Warrior of Light to return to the stage, so that you can inspire not only him, but all those who might be lucky enough to see him perform again.
==Song==
'Neath pillars of whorling strife,♪
founders the dross of despair.♪
O'er pillars of eddying life,♪
surge high the gales of prayer.♪
Flux and flow do the gyres,♪
joined by the crystal in thy keep.♪
Thy adamant spear bores steeps entire,♪
thy argent blade cleaves oceans deep.♪
