Bolt, Chain, and Island

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Alphinaud suggests that you seek the support of the Zundu in slaying Bismarck and petition Chief Sonu for an island to bait the Enterprise's hook. Present your proposal to the chieftain and see what he says.
* Swayed by Alphinaud's impassioned denunciation of Bismarck as a false savior, Chief Sonu declares that you will have your island. Inform Cid that you have fulfilled your part of the bargain.
* Cid's preparations have proceeded smoothly, and the required chains and ballistas have already been delivered to the Sea of Clouds. You need but notify Wedge when you have assembled your party of brave companions, and you will be ferried to the island provided by the Zundu.
* You inform Wedge that you are ready to hunt the white whale. Board the Enterprise with your companions and rid the Sea of Clouds of Bismarck's ravenous presence.
※The Limitless Blue (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* You execute Cid's bold plan to perfection, and the Lord of Mists falls like so many before him. Soon after, the long-silent voice of Hydaelyn resounds in your mind once more, though you must strain to make out Her words. Alas, it fades as quickly as it came, and you are left to wonder at Her intent...
* Prize in hand, you turn towards the Enterprise, only to find Igeyorhm and Archbishop Thordan barring your path. After wresting the key from your grasp, the Ascian observes that you have regained the blessing of Light─albeit at a fraction of its former strength. Retrieving the key, the archbishop casts it heavensward, and the Allagan relic emits a beam of light pointing the way to Azys Lla. The pair then depart aboard the Soleil as you, still weak from your struggles against Bismarck and Igeyorhm, can only watch, powerless to stop them.
* After you disembark from the Enterprise, thoroughly downcast, Alphinaud assures you that all is not lost. Though the archbishop has claimed the key to Azys Lla, you yet live to give chase. Scant consolation, perhaps...but true nonetheless. Having all but placed the prize in your enemy's hand, you are fortunate to have a chance at redemption. It is time to put away self-pity, and steel yourself for the task ahead.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Sonu Vanu.
* Speak with Cid.
* Speak with Wedge.
* Use the Duty Finder to confront Bismarck in the Limitless Blue (Hard).
* Speak with Alphinaud.

Alphinaud 	Well, you heard Cid. We need an island to bait the hook.
Alphinaud 	By way of a first step, I propose we speak with Chief Sonu. If the Zundu are as concerned by Bismarck's behavior as they have given us to believe, they may well be supportive of our efforts to slay him.
Alphinaud 	We can but ask...
Cid 	The boys and I can handle most of the preparations, but we'll need you to secure us a suitable island. Let me know when it's done!
 	
Sonu Vanu 	The tramontane is upon us. The White feasts, and the Vundu rejoice in His carnage...
Alphinaud 	Hear me, Chief Sonu. This creature which torments you now is not the deity who raised up the floating isles and made a gift of them to you.
Alphinaud 	He is a perversion of your beliefs given form by the Vundu─a false savior who consumes that which he should rightly safeguard.
Alphinaud 	Yet it need not be this way, Chief Sonu. We have the power to strike down this impostor...but we must beg of you an island to see it done.
Sonu Vanu 	Motes against the tempest. In vain do they struggle...
Sonu Vanu 	...Yet who is Sonu to speak of what may be? Perhaps even the tramontane can turn to the ponente. Very well, netherlings. When you are ready, tell Zundu scouts what manner of island you require and they guide you to it.
Alphinaud 	We shall not fail, Chief Sonu. On that you have my word.
Alphinaud 	Come, [Player Name]─let us see how Cid's preparations are progressing.
Sonu Vanu 	May soft rains come to cleanse us of these sins...
 	
Cid 	Our Ishgardian friends have furnished us with dragonkillers and ammunition, and I've taken the liberty of procuring a magitek field generator as well.
Cid 	Rest assured, we've chains to spare, every link forged by the manufactory's master craftsmen. If you've any lingering doubts as to their strength, know that they were originally intended to bind dragons─and were not found wanting.
Alphinaud 	It pleases me to inform you that the Vanu Vanu have agreed to furnish us with an island of our choosing.
Cid 	Then all that remains is to confirm the readiness of the poor buggers who'll actually be doing the fighting. [Player Name], let Wedge know when your party is assembled.
Wedge 	A-Are we really going to go skyfishing for a primal!?
Alphinaud 	My, that took hardly any time at all. The Ironworks engineers do not disappoint.
Cid 	We'll depart for the island once you've assembled your party. Let Wedge know when you're ready.
 	
Wedge 	I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but I don't like this plan. I don't like it one little bit! ...But I can't help being excited all the same!
Wedge 	So tell me, [Player Name]: are you ready to hunt the white whale?
 	
Wedge 	After you, then, [Player Name]! All aboard!
Alphinaud 	Would that I could fight alongside you, [Player Name], but primal influence being what it is, I think it best that I assist Wedge with the machinery on this occasion.
Cid 	Since we still don't know the extent of Bismarck's influence, I'd prefer to keep those not actively participating in the battle inside the ship. It would be a shame if one of us started chanting “The White! The White!” and stabbed you in the back, after all.
Wedge 	Don't worry, [Player Name]─the Enterprise is more than capable of staying ahead of Bismarck! Alphinaud and I will be keeping an eye on things in the engine room just to be sure!
 	
Alphinaud 	Forgive me, [Player Name]. Had I known what was happening, mayhap I could have done something to stop them...
Alphinaud 	Alas, Wedge and I were still sealed within the engine room and heard naught of the struggle until it was over.
Alphinaud 	And now, for all our efforts, the archbishop holds the very thing we sought to keep from him...
Alphinaud 	But all is not lost, for we yet live, and we know their destination! Let us give chase and bring an end to their machinations!
 	
Cid 	In retrospect, we should probably have seen that coming. Still, you fought well, [Player Name]─better than that, in fact. Chin up, eh?
Wedge 	I didn't know Alphinaud had been studying magitek technology. He was a godssend during the fight, the way he helped me tend to the engines.
Biggs 	I'm just glad we're all still here to tell the tale.
Sonu Vanu 	May soft rains come to cleanse us of these sins...
