Syrcus Tower (Final Fantasy XIV quest)

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Rammbroes informs you that the investigation of the Crystal Tower is being hindered by the most mundane of security measures: a gate that refuses to open. Even as Cid and G'raha Tia rack their brains to find a solution, two peculiar individuals arrive and offer their aid. They introduce themselves as Doga and Unei, scholars of ancient Allag sent by the Students of Baldesion. Though Rammbroes is at first suspicious of their origin, he relents at G'raha Tia's behest, and allows them to join NOAH in an advisory capacity. Without further ado, Doga and Unei are asked to examine the sealed gate which leads into Syrcus Tower. Accompany the two scholars to the Eight Sentinels, and there speak with Biggs to be shown to the gate.
* Much to the surprise of all present, Doga and Unei open the gate as if they were born to do it. Speak with Doga to learn how this feat was possible.
* Doga and Unei reveal that they are “clones”─copies of two individuals who claim direct descent from Emperor Xande, the founding father of the Allagan Empire. In his desire to bring the world under his rule, Xande consorted with forbidden powers. Fearful of what might befall the world, the original Doga and Unei attempted to thwart their emperor's scheme. They imbued their clones with their will, that their work might continue in the event of their deaths. After millennia in slumber, the two clones now seek to finish what their namesakes had begun, but they require your help to succeed. The members of NOAH unanimously agree to join their cause, and Rammbroes tasks you with eliminating all hostile elements within Syrcus Tower and finally defeating Emperor Xande. See to your preparations, then speak with G'raha Tia.
* You have declared your readiness to enter Syrcus Tower to G'raha Tia. Fight your way to the top of the structure, and strike down Emperor Xande.
※Syrcus Tower can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* You have defeated Xande, but your victory proves short-lived. Even as Doga and Unei attempt to annul the emperor's dark covenant, an entity calling itself the Cloud of Darkness pulls them into the rift that had manifested before the throne. Nero attempts to save them for his own reasons, only to end up sharing their fate.
* With the rift having vanished, you are powerless to help your friends. For now, return to Saint Coinach's Find, and consult Rammbroes as to a way to bring them back.
* Rammbroes believes that Doga, Unei, and Nero were drawn through a voidgate, and into the dark realm beyond. Though they do not yet know how, the members of NOAH are determined to save their comrades and eliminate the threat posed by the Cloud of Darkness. Rammbroes pledges to search for the answer, and bids you rest up in preparation for the instrumental role you will doubtless play in the impending rescue mission.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Biggs at the Eight Sentinels to be taken to Syrcus Tower.
* Speak with Doga at the Eight Sentinels.
* Speak with G'raha Tia at the Eight Sentinels.
* Use the Duty Finder to enter Syrcus Tower.
* Speak with Rammbroes.

Rammbroes 	Ah, 'tis you, my friend. You are doubtless eager to hear of our progress on the Crystal Tower.
Rammbroes 	Excellent, I'd be disappointed to hear otherwise. Of course, “disappointed” is the word of the day, I fear. I'm ashamed to say that there is nothing worthwhile to report.
Rammbroes 	The Sons continue to probe the Labyrinth of the Ancients, and every day brings new discoveries. Alas, the same cannot be said of the Crystal Tower proper. We've not been able to set so much as a single foot inside it.
G'raha Tia 	You will recall how the Eight Sentinels stood between us and the labyrinth initially.
G'raha Tia 	In like manner, the entryway into the principal spire─Syrcus Tower, the Allagans called it─is also protected by technology far more advanced than our own.
G'raha Tia 	Cid and I have tried every trick we know, but without success. Frankly speaking, we are at a loss.
Rammbroes 	It is discouraging, but we cannot give up. There must be a way in.
Rammbroes 	...And so the situation stands, my friend. Until we gain entry into the tower, I fear your talents shan't avail us. It will require time that I am loath to waste, but I have a mind to set my people to scouring such ancient texts as we have on hand.
Doga 	Perhaps we can be of assistance.
G'raha Tia 	And you are?
Unei 	Be at ease, friends, for we share the selfsame goal.
Unei 	I am Unei, and my companion is called Doga. We are scholars of the Allagan civilization, sent by the Students of Baldesion to assist in your endeavor.
Rammbroes 	Unei and Doga? Rather unusual names for this day and age, if I might be forgiven for observing. But I digress.
Rammbroes 	You claim to be here at the Students' behest, but we have received nary a word of your coming. I am sure you'll not take it amiss if we seem somewhat doubtful.
Rammbroes 	You claim to be here at the Students' behest, but we have received nary a word of your coming. Moreover, in light of the recent incident at the Isle of Val, I should think that they have rather more pressing concerns.
Doga 	We can only assume that the message failed to reach you due to some mishap. I assure you that we are here to help.
Rammbroes 	What is it, G'raha?
G'raha Tia 	Ungh... 'Tis nothing. There was...a pain, but it has subsided.
Unei 	Well, well, this is rather unexpected. Your right eye is the same as ours.
G'raha Tia 	The same? You...you have the Allagan Eye as well?
G'raha Tia 	This sanguine hue is said to be a trait unique to the Allagans! Yet I inherited it from my father, as he did from his.
G'raha Tia 	Only one child in a single generation is born with the eye. All my life, I have sought to learn the truth of its manifestation. If there is aught you know, I implore you to tell me!
Doga 	My deepest apologies, but we have no answers for you. Only one thing is certain: those who possess the trait are bound by fate to Allag.
Doga 	As your eye has placed you upon the path you walk, so too have we come here to fulfill our destiny. Absurd though it may sound, it is the truth.
G'raha Tia 	It seems to me we have naught to lose by accepting their aid. What say you?
Rammbroes 	If that is your wish, then so be it.
Rammbroes 	Yet know that I still mean to verify your story with the Students of Baldesion when I am able. I trust there will be no objections.
Rammbroes 	Very well. As of this moment, I name Unei and Doga advisory members of NOAH. Without further ado, let us have them examine the Syrcus Tower entrance.
Doga 	I promise you'll not have cause to regret your decision.
Rammbroes 	[Player Name], I should be much obliged if you were to accompany our new friends to the tower. Biggs and Wedge are presently surveying the Eight Sentinels; the two of them can show you the way.
Rammbroes 	Upon arrival, pray report to Master Garlond. He will brief you on the situation.
G'raha Tia 	I shall join you, [Player Name]. With Unei and Doga's knowledge, along with your uncanny knack for setting events in motion, I am hopeful that we will finally see progress.
 	
Wedge 	We're examining the rubble in the hopes that it'll yield a clue to entering Syrcus Tower.
...Can you tell we're getting desperate?
 	
Biggs 	Well, if it isn't [Player Name]! Eager to enter Syrcus Tower and kill everything in sight, no doubt. As I'm sure you've already heard, though, the place is locked up tight as a clam.
Biggs 	...New friends from the Students, you say? Excellent! It's been slow going─or rather, no going─for the chief. He'll appreciate the help.
Biggs 	If you'll just follow me, I'll take you to him.
 	
Cid 	Ah, some old faces to lift the spirit...and a couple of new ones besides.
G'raha Tia 	Allow me to introduce Unei and Doga. They are scholars of ancient Allag, sent here by our friends of Baldesion to aid in the investigation.
Doga 	We understand you're having trouble circumventing the tower's defenses. 'Tis our hope that we can be of some small assistance.
Cid 	If your attire is aught to go by, your assistance should prove invaluable indeed.
Cid 	To begin with, let me tell you where we stand. Beyond rises Syrcus Tower, the principal spire of the structure collectively known as the Crystal Tower.
Cid 	The only way to get inside is through the proverbial front door─the imposing gate you see here. The problem is, we can't get it to open. It's sealed by some mechanism whose workings are an utter mystery to us.
Cid 	Having had no success via more orthodox methods, I went at it with everything from a pickaxe to a magitek cannon. Nothing so much as put a scratch on it.
Cid 	For a blessing, the gate doesn't try to reduce us to ashes like the Eight Sentinels, but that doesn't make it any less effective a security measure. It's fiendishly frustrating in its simplicity.
G'raha Tia 	The only clue we have is the elaborate device carved upon it: a man and a woman, respectant. Allagan royalty, by my judgment.
G'raha Tia 	Precisely who these individuals were, we cannot say. Nor do we know whether the device actually serves a purpose. Like as not, it is purely decorative.
Cid 	If you're thinking to force it, save your strength. It's no use─just ask the calluses on my hands.
Unei 	Rest assured we do not mean to waste our strength.
Doga 	Indeed. Why should we exert ourselves...when the gate will open of its own accord?
G'raha Tia 	I...I don't think any of us expected that to happen...
Cid 	Seven hells... What is this? What did you do? What...what are you?
Nero 	Piercing the heavens and gathering the light,
a symbol of mankind's glory and might.
Nero 	Its virtue guarded by gates impregnable,
only to those of royal blood answerable.
...Exactly as passed down through legend, I am delighted to see.
Nero 	Beg pardons for interrupting your bewilderment. I couldn't help but notice the remarkable playthings you have acquired.
Cid 	N-Nero!? You're still alive!?
Nero 	Garlond, Garlond. If I didn't know better, I would say you weren't happy to see me. Ah, but I jest. In light of our recent meetings, you have every right to be wary.
Nero 	But rest assured I am no longer a threat to you. My legion is for all intents and purposes defunct, and my association with it means a tight noose awaits me back in Garlemald. And so I've been roaming this land Eorzea, a regular itinerant.
Nero 	In the course of my wanderings, I chanced to catch wind of your latest venture. It sounded positively fascinating, and so I decided to come here and join you.
Cid 	After the wrongs you've committed? You think us that gullible?
Nero 	If you are suspicious of my intent, 'tis only my just deserts. But I am determined to make amends. As a gesture of goodwill, I will share with you what I know...starting with these two odd characters.
Nero 	As you are doubtless already aware, the Crystal Tower was the symbol of ancient Allag's might and prosperity. Entry was permitted only to royalty and a select few individuals.
Nero 	According to the records I have unearthed, only royal blood can open the gate. In other words, the emperor and his progeny were living keys.
G'raha Tia 	You mean to say that these two are descended from Allagan royalty!?
Nero 	Oh, I suggest nothing so glamorous.
Nero 	To put it plain, they are imitations of royalty─living keys born of Allagan ingenuity.
Nero 	“Clones,” I believe, is the name your creators gave your kind. Is that not so?
Doga 	'Twould seem that the time for concealment is past.
Doga 	Pray accept our apologies. 'Twas not our intent to deceive. We simply wished to avoid causing undue alarm by prematurely making what many would consider deranged claims.
Unei 	If it please you, let us return to the Eight Sentinels. There is much and more to tell.
G'raha Tia 	Very well.
Cid 	Seven hells, do you seriously mean to follow us around?
Nero 	Come, Garlond. You know me better than to think that I spoke in jest. What more will it take for us to be reconciled? A gift, perhaps?
Nero 	An Allagan tomestone. It holds the information I just shared with you, and a deal more besides. It used to be the jealously guarded property of the XIVth Legion, but it's yours now. I wish you joy of it.
Nero 	I look forward to working together, old friend.
 	
Unei 	You have every right to mistrust us, but I beg you to hear us out. Long have we waited for this opportunity to fulfill our life's purpose.
 	
G'raha Tia 	Let us hear what Unei and Doga have to say. It will not be too late to decide upon a course of action afterwards.
 	
Cid 	It goes without saying that Nero can't be trusted. We'd do well to keep an eye on him at all times.
 	
Nero 	We may not have gotten off to the best of starts, but the past is in the past. Yesterday's enemies can yet be today's friends. Do you not agree, Warrior of Light?
 	
Biggs 	The chief and Nero go all the way back to the Magitek Academy. It's an exclusive school situated in the capital, reserved for the Empire's brightest elite.
Biggs 	I don't know the nitty-gritty details, but they didn't get along back then, and they don't get along now. Fate's a bastard for bringing them together again.
 	
Wedge 	To think the Allagans could make copies of people... If this knowledge were to fall into the wrong hands, the world would become a terrible place. I shudder to imagine a dozen Biggs, shouting at me all day long... <gulp>
 	
Doga 	If you are ready to listen, we shall tell you all.
Doga 	As it pertains closely to your investigation, your leader, Rammbroes, may wish to be present.
 	
Doga 	Before we begin, pray allow me to apologize again. It was not our intent to deceive you.
Doga 	As you will have already gathered, we are not scholars sent by the Students of Baldesion. Nay, we are “clones”─copies of people who once existed, given life through Allagan technology.
Rammbroes 	This is rather a lot to take in...
Rammbroes 	If it would not be considered unseemly, might I ask why you and yours were created? And more specifically, what is it that you now seek to do?
Doga 	Answering your questions requires that we revisit Allagan history. Pray bear with us.
Unei 	The Allagan Empire reached its zenith long before our kind came into being.
Unei 	In that glorious age, the Crystal Tower stood tall as the symbol of Allagan pride. Parents took their children there, that they might learn how the nigh-limitless energy it produced brought prosperity to the whole empire.
Doga 	That prosperity, however, bred decadence, and the empire began to show signs of stagnation. This decline was made all the more rapid for want of strong leadership.
Doga 	In a matter of generations, the Allagan civilization became a pale shadow of its former self. Its once gleaming cities fell into disrepair, and its frontier lands were given over to the wilderness.
Unei 	Lamenting the pitiful state of affairs, one technologist made it his mission to restore Allag to greatness.
Unei 	Amon was his name, and he believed that the ailing empire wanted for but a potent ruler. And none was more potent than its founding father, whom he sought to resurrect.
G'raha Tia 	The founding father? You cannot mean Emperor Xande!?
Unei 	None other. As part of his experiments, Amon created clones of the emperor's descendants. We are the products of that experiment─copies of Unei and Doga.
Rammbroes 	Historical texts mention the reigns of two Allagan emperors named Xande.
Rammbroes 	It was commonly believed that the second was the namesake of the first. After all, such a custom is not uncommon among royalty and commoners alike. To think that the two were in fact one and the same...
Unei 	Aye, Xande returned from the grave and assumed his throne once more. And true to Amon's prediction, the emperor restored his realm to the glory it once knew. Would that he could have been satisfied with that...
Doga 	In his previous life, the emperor desired to bring the entire world under Allagan dominion─an ambition that ultimately went unfulfilled. Having been granted a second chance, he was determined to succeed.
Doga 	Realizing that he needed more power to wage his war of conquest, Xande turned his sights towards a forbidden source: darkness. In order to learn how to harness this power, he converted the Crystal Tower into a restricted research facility.
Cid 	Darkness...again? Seven hells, what is it with megalomaniacal rulers turning to darkness in their lust for power?
Cid 	Well, at least this one won't be bothering us, being thousands of years dead and all.
Doga 	Would that you were right, Master Garlond.
Doga 	Alas, Emperor Xande is very much alive. Within Syrcus Tower he still abides, his ambition burning all the more ardently for his empire's collapse.
 	
Doga 	Wielding the power of darkness requires prodigious amounts of energy─energy that not even the Crystal Tower could produce. In order to augment the shortfall, Dalamud was created and launched into the heavens. On high it hung, gathering the sun's energy and channeling it to the tower below.
Doga 	However, a miscalculation resulted in a surge of energy that escaped into the land. This triggered an earthquake of unprecedented violence─the calamity that ushered in the Fourth Umbral Era.
Doga 	In the blinking of an eye, the mighty Allagan Empire was laid to waste.
Doga 	Yet even as the Crystal Tower was sinking into the earth, the technologist Amon, now Emperor Xande's closest aide, invoked powerful magicks and halted the flow of time.
Doga 	Every soul within the structure, the emperor included, was placed in a deep slumber. In that state they were to remain until the time was ripe to awaken.
Unei 	Eras came and went. After millennia lying dormant, Dalamud was summoned back to the earth. Its descent triggered the Seventh Umbral Calamity, in the wake of which the Crystal Tower reemerged.
Unei 	At that moment, Emperor Xande awakened.
Unei 	In his lust for power, the emperor consorted with darkness and was seduced by its corrupting influence. Even though his empire is now little more than a fading memory, he will stop at nothing to see his ambition realized.
 	
Unei 	'Tis for no other purpose but to put an end to Xande's madness that we exist. This is the mantle we have inherited from our namesakes─the true Unei and Doga.
Unei 	Fearing what might befall the world, the two of them sought to thwart their emperor. They gave unto us their will, that we might carry on their mission should they fail.
Doga 	When we came to our senses within the Crystal Tower, we deliberated a course of action. Concluding that we alone could not overcome Xande, we struck out to find a worthy ally. It has taken years, but our search is finally over.
Doga 	'Tis no ordinary woman/man who can cut a path through the Labyrinth of the Ancients. With you as our champion, [Player Name], we are confident that we can end Xande's dark ambition once and for all.
Cid 	Well, that'll teach me for speaking too soon... Setting my chagrin aside, I see now why you knew about the Students of Baldesion among a host of other things─you were observing our investigation the whole time.
Cid 	So, what will we do, [Player Name]? The world's in grave danger again, and it just so happens you're an expert at saving it.
Doga 	You have our eternal gratitude. Together, let us see the Allagan Empire's dark past laid to rest.
Rammbroes 	It has been our mission to recover the long-lost knowledge of the Allagan civilization. But what worth is that knowledge if it means subjecting the realm to peril?
Rammbroes 	Truth be told, it pains me to think that the tower's secrets may become lost to us, but the greater good must ever come first. Besides, no quantity of ancient relics can compare to our friends Unei and Doga─living, breathing Allagans.
Rammbroes 	And so I hereby declare a change in NOAH's objective. Henceforth, we shall direct all efforts towards sealing off Syrcus Tower. Its dark secrets must never know the light of day.
Rammbroes 	[Player Name], as you did for us within the Labyrinth of the Ancients, I would have you enter the structure and eliminate hostile elements. Suffice it to say this includes Emperor Xande himself.
Rammbroes 	Meanwhile, the rest of us shall examine ways to isolate Syrcus Tower from the outside world. To work, then!
G'raha Tia 	Wait. There is something I must know. My right eye is like yours. Does...does this mean...?
Doga 	You inherited the trait from your father, you said. Know that clones are unable to bear offspring. You have no cause for concern.
Doga 	The Allagan Eye, you called it, but to us it is the Royal Eye, owing to the fact that the trait manifests only in those possessed of royal blood.
Doga 	I cannot well explain why the eye runs in your line, but I am disinclined to think it a coincidence.
Doga 	Though you are doubtless impatient to learn the truth, pray have patience. All will be revealed in due time.
 	
Unei 	Though their names do not appear to have survived the passage of time, Doga and Unei were worthy individuals. They were not without faults, but they placed the welfare of the people above all else.
Unei 	When Xande was resurrected, they supported his second ascension to the throne, in hopes that the empire would flourish once more under his leadership.
Unei 	When it came to light that Xande was consorting with dark powers, they did all within their power to stop him. Among their many acts, they imbued us, two humble clones, with their will.
 	
Doga 	Within Syrcus Tower, you will encounter clones who share our appearance.
Doga 	Though they, too, were created in the image of Doga and Unei, they are but empty husks bereft of independent will. Their sole purpose is to eliminate intruders.
Doga 	Striking down spitting images of Unei and myself may give you pause, but you must not let that stay your hand.
 	
Cid 	Technology made the Allagans great, but so too did it prove their downfall. And now the Garleans are treading in their very footsteps, the bloody fools. It's true what they say: history repeats itself.
 	
Biggs 	...Nero? Wandered off on his own a moment ago. Only the gods know what that bastard's scheming. If it were up to me, I'd lock him up and throw the key into Silvertear Lake.
 	
Wedge 	While you're off purging Syrcus Tower of nasties, Biggs and I will make a round of the Labyrinth─make certain that no funny business is going on inside.
 	
G'raha Tia 	My apologies if I've given you cause to worry. I am quite well, I assure you. As you can appreciate, there has been much for me to think on.
G'raha Tia 	But now is the time for action, not idle thoughts. Syrcus Tower awaits us!
G'raha Tia 	Your task is to eliminate all hostile elements within the structure, Xande himself included. This will afford us the chance to seal off the facility. May the Crystal grant you strength!
 	
G'raha Tia 	The truth of my eye is ever on my mind, but right now every man of us has a job to do. Rest assured I shan't allow myself to be distracted.
 	
G'raha Tia 	[Player Name]!
G'raha Tia 	You did it! You defeated Emperor Xande!
Doga 	Empires may rise and fall, but man's indefatigable spirit ever lives on. Truly, you are the champion we had hoped for, [Player Name].
Doga 	With Emperor Xande now at eternal rest, his dark legacy may be undone.
Cid 	What are you playing at now, Nero?
Nero 	In case you haven't noticed, Garlond, these are dangerous surrounds. Can a man be faulted for exercising due caution?
Nero 	At any rate, you needn't mind me. I am perfectly capable of looking after myself. Go on and finish what you came to do.
Unei 	There are two ways that we may seal off Syrcus Tower: either isolate it from the outside world, or cripple its ability to produce energy.
Unei 	The choice of method is yours to make. Before you proceed, however, Doga and I must needs attend to a task.
G'raha Tia 	That distortion... What is it?
Unei 	The power that Xande sought to obtain comes from the void─the World of Darkness, our people called it.
Unei 	And the true nature of that power was none other than the armies of voidsent.
Doga 	Voidsent feed on aether, as you may already know, and no plane is richer in it than ours.
Doga 	In exchange for their allegiance, Xande entered into an unholy covenant. He would open a gate through which the voidsent could freely enter our world.
Doga 	The covenant, I'm afraid to say, is still in effect. However, being of the emperor's lineage, Unei and I believe that we can annul it.
Doga 	By his blood Xande sealed his dark pact. By our blood it shall be undone.
Doga 	It is time.
Unei 	Yes, Doga. Finally, we may fulfill our purpose.
Nero 	Hahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHA!
Nero 	Oh, be still my beating heart!
Nero 	For a moment I feared that this outing would end in disappointment, but my readings were not mistaken! Not even the Ultima Weapon compares to this!
Cid 	What are you going on about!?
Cloud of Darkness	The covenant...is everlasting...
 	
Xande 	And so Meracydia is brought into the fold. Soon, all the world shall be united under Allagan rule.
Xande 	And yet...with every dream that becomes reality, the memory of death grows ever more vivid─an endless void, bereft of light and warmth.
Xande 	Though I may have defeated death, it did not leave me unscathed. Nay, its ravening claws have scarred my soul for eternity. Never shall I know peace.
Xande 	Beings without will. You cannot fathom my rage. My melancholy. My fear.
Xande 	What worth is wealth and power when all must inevitably be consigned to nothingness? If man has nothing, he need not know the pain of loss.
Xande 	So let there be nothing.
Xande 	Harvest more power, that the gate may be thrown full open. Let the Cloud of Darkness come and engulf the world, devouring all life, hopes, and dreams. Let all be returned to nothingness.
 	
G'raha Tia 	[Player Name]! Pull yourself together!
G'raha Tia 	Is there no end to them!? What in the seven hells is happening!?
G'raha Tia 	Argh! Not now, damn it!
Cid 	Nero! Were they part of your grand plan, too?
Nero 	Save your japes, Garlond! I didn't put up with your arrogant face to play with worthless clones!
Nero 	Something controls them. A voidsent, and no ordinary one at that.
Unei 	Doga!
Nero 	Confound it! Without them, there's no way to master the darkness!
Nero 	That power...is mine!
Cid 	Nero!
Cloud of Darkness	The covenant shall be honored.
Cloud of Darkness	I am the Cloud of Darkness. I shall devour your light, and return this world to the void.
Cid 	Damn it, the rift is gone! What are we supposed to do now?
Cid 	As much as it pains me to leave without them, there's precious little we can do. Let us return to the Find and consult Rammbroes.
 	
G'raha Tia 	I feel as though that I'm forgetting something important, but for the life of me, I cannot remember what that something is...
 	
Cid 	Rammbroes may know a way to bring our friends back. Let's consult him without delay.
 	
Biggs 	Hm? I appreciate the attention and all, but don't you have better things to do than chat with me?
 	
Wedge 	Everyone's been in a dark mood since returning. I...I take it the mission didn't go well.
 	
Rammbroes 	All this happened within the tower? Gods preserve...
Rammbroes 	The rift that manifested before the throne was a voidgate, of this I am certain.
Rammbroes 	There exist myriad kinds of voidsent. The more powerful the being, the larger the gate must be for it to pass through.
Rammbroes 	'Twould seem that Xande sought to open a gate of unprecedented proportions─one that would allow this Cloud of Darkness entry into our world.
Rammbroes 	Fortunately for all mankind, he did not succeed. I shudder to imagine what this voidsent is capable of.
Cid 	However dreadful it may be, we can't abandon our friends. Is there no way to save them?
Rammbroes 	I will not lie to you, Master Garlond. The situation is bleak.
Rammbroes 	Though voidsent can enter our world, instances of men entering the void have never been documented. It pains me to give voice to my fears, but we do not even know whether our friends still live.
Cid 	Damn it... I feel so helpless...
G'raha Tia 	No, I refuse to give up. We must save Doga and Unei.
G'raha Tia 	We share the same eye, 'tis true, but that is not what motivates me.
G'raha Tia 	Above all, I wish to help them to fulfill their mission─a mission whose burden they have borne for thousands of years. And besides...
G'raha Tia 	We cannot leave matters as they are.
G'raha Tia 	So long as Xande's dark covenant is binding, our world is in danger. 'Tis our duty to prevent the worst from coming to pass.
Rammbroes 	G'raha. Ever since meeting Unei and Doga, you have not quite been yourself. Tell me true: is all well with your eye?
G'raha Tia 	I honestly cannot say. I know only that there is a memory that I must recall.
G'raha Tia 	As a child, my father told me that the truth of our eye rests with Allag. The answer eludes me still...but one day I will find it.
Cid 	I am with G'raha.
Cid 	However slim the odds, we must try to save Unei and Doga. Aye, and that bastard Nero as well, if only to make certain that he won't make any more mischief.
Rammbroes 	You have the right of it. Though we have known them but briefly, Doga and Unei are our comrades. We cannot fail them.
Rammbroes 	I shall consult experts and literature both. I swear to leave no stone unturned.
Rammbroes 	Yet know that it may be a while before we are ready to act. I would ask that you all be patient. When dealing with the void, one cannot be cautious enough.
Rammbroes 	My thanks again for your assistance. Pray rest now while you can. For when the time comes to go after our friends, you must be at no less than full strength.
Cid 	We'll save them yet, [Player Name]! Mark my words!
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
