===Game Script===
===Southern San d'Oria===
Sobane: My name is Sobane, and my husband is the royal family's head chief.
Sobane: Just currently, he told me the most unsettling news. 
Thus I was impelled to seek the aid of an adventurer...
Sobane: If word of my request reaches the wrong ears, it may place my family in danger.
Sobane: Should you decide to take up my request, would you be willing to swear a blood oath? 
Sobane: You must swear to Altana, Goddess of the Dawn, to breathe not a single syllable of this matter to anyone...
Choice 1: On my honor.
Choice 2: Only if I hurt myself.
Choice 1 selected: On my honor;
Sobane: My thanks. 
As proof of your oath, I ask that you bring me a Cathedral Tapestry.
Sobane: My family's fate is in your hands.
===Southern San d'Oria===
After trading the requested item;
Sobane: Thank you adventurer.
I accept this Cathedral Tapestry as proof of your word.
Sobane: I once again insist that you breathe not a word of this to anyone.
Now, to the matter at hand.
Sobane: Several days ago, Count Varonbiriaux M Teulomme was granted audience with the royaulais.
Sobane: Do you know of count Teulomme?
He resides in a mansion built within the Carpenters' Landing territory.
Sobane: Thirty years ago, those lands belonged to Knights Mistalle.
Sobane: However, the head of the family, Francmage M Mistalle, lost his life under mysterious circumstances...
Sobane: His inexplicable death dealt a terrible blow to the knights.
Sobane: Francmage's only son and member of the Royal Knights, Leservieus M Mistalle, was swept up in a whirlwind of rage and despair.
Sobane: He became embroiled in an argument with Lord Epuliphont, a Temple Knight with whom he was not on good terms. 
Enraged by the slanderous conjecture on his father's fate, Leservieus challenged Epuliphont to a duel to the death.
Sobane: He has always been the case in San d'Oria, duels are strictly forbidden by law.
Sobane: When word of their battle reached the royal court, both families were stripped of their titles, and Leservieus's wife returned to Selbina with her infant child in tow.
Sobane: Thirty years have passed since that time.
Sobane: The son born to Leservieus and his wife grew up to become a magnificent knight.
Sobane: He has embarked on a journey to redeem his family's name.
Sobane: When Count Teulomme learned of this, he ordered his vassals to search for this heir to the Knights Mistalle. 
Sobane: The count, under the pretext of wishing to know the truth of what happened thirty years ago, is offering to assist the knight in his endeavor...
Sobane: However, the count's cook believes that Teulomme is more concerned with losing his lands to their rightful owner.
Sobane: Please do not take a cook's words lightly.
Much information reaches a man who prepares the meals for a household.
Sobane: If Count Teulomme is truly seeking to cause harm to the heir of the Knights Mistalle, we have a duty to warn him of the danger.
Sobane: I am certain as adventurer of your caliber will be able to locate this man before anything untoward occurs.
Sobane: Please find the knight of Mistalle. He must know of the threat to his life.
===Selbina===
Abelard: I'm Abelard, mayor of this village.
Abelard: You say you're looking for Lady Leffine?
Abelard: You're not the first to ask that question, but I'm sorry to say there's no one here by that name.
Abelard: Even if you've been requested to do so, you shouldn't be poking around into other people's pasts.
Abelard: What's that?
So why am I trying to find out about Gwynham Ironheart, you ask?
Abelard: That's not the same thing, lass/sonny.
I haven't got the slightest interest in his private life.
Abelard: I already know all there is to know about him, in any case.
Abelard: Have you heard of Lord Torresapet B Ordelle?
It was feared he would die a demented death in Ordelle's Cave before he completed the map of those twisted tunnels.
Abelard: He gathered the facts about Gwynham Ironheart's life into a single volume. I have the book right there.
Abelard: It's just that...
Before that book came into my possession, Gwynham's daughter, Enid, tore out several pages and threw them away. 
Abelard: I'm curious as to what was written on those pages, but I suppose there's a reason Enid removed them in the first place. 
Abelard: I guess I should respect that.
Besides, I doubt anyone could find them anyway...
===Selbina===
After obtaining the key item;
Abelard: Th-these are the missing pages!
Where did you find them!?
Abelard: They were left inside Ordelle's Caves...?
Abelard: If somebody left these pages on purpose, then we have duty to read them. Seems that Enid didn't throw them away after all.
Abelard: Hm?
If I'm going to read these pages, then I should tell you where to find Lady Leffine?
Abelard: Fair enough.
As did the great Gwynham Ironheart, Lady Leffine passed away many years ago.
Abelard: However, her son, Louverance, grew up to become a fine young man.
Last I heard, he joined the Royal Knights of San d'Oria.
Abelard: I haven't seen him visit his mother's grave lately, though.
Has something happened to him, I wonder.
Abelard: Speaking of which, there's another thing that's been bugging me.
Abelard: Earlier, I had another visitor looking for Louverance.
Abelard: It was a young hume lady. Made some mention of Atarefaunet's Band.
Abelard: In any case, she left Selbina after discovering Lady Leffine was no longer with us.
Abelard: Is that all you wanted to know?
Now if you don't mind, I'll get to reading these pages you retrieved.
===Southern San d'Oria===
When returned to report things to Sobane;
Sobane: Atarefaunet's Band!?
Sobane: That is a frightening name, indeed.
Sobane: That despicable group of brigands terrotized the length and breadth of the Quon continent when I was a child.
Sobane: They would prowl the trade routes between San d'Oria, Bastok, Jeuno, and Tavnazia, and attack any merchants they came across.
Sobane: They showed no mercy to man, woman, or child, and used the goods and information they obtained to threaten and blackmail others.
They were far worse than a mere gang of thieves.
Sobane: But near the end of the Great War, their leader--Atarefaunet--was finally caught by bounty hunters.
Sobane: Atarefaunet was brought here to San d'Oria and executed soon after.
Sobane: The remaining members of the band scattered to the corners of Vana'diel, and are still in hiding to this day.
Sobane: Could it be possible that Count Teulomme has employed members of Atarefaunet's Band?
Sobane: And these villians are searching for Lady Leffine's son, Louverance...
Sobane: Things are far worse than I feared. 
Hearing of the involment of Atarefaunet's Band fills me with dread.
Sobane: Here is your reward.
I beg of you, adventurer, do not speak a word of this to anyone.
