True-blue

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Though Tsukumo is gone, Kabuto has labored tirelessly to carry out the Divine Circle's duty of searching for treasure. So much so, his brothers insist he take a rest. With his newly acquired free time, Kabuto has chosen to visit the various peoples of Othard who made contributions to the treasure vault, and wants you to accompany him. He decides to begin his journey with a visit to Gyokei in Yanxia.※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
* Kabuto is happy to hear that all is well with Gyokei. He grows concerned, however, when mention of Tsukumo is met with a look of bewilderment. In the end, Kabuto surmises his lack of memory stems from the trauma of being attacked by the Red Kojin. He bids Gyokei farewell and makes for the Azim Steppe to meet with Uchikin and his father.
* The Qestiri father and son are glad for Kabuto's visit, thanking him again for his help retrieving Uchikin's bow. As he struggles to communicate, Kabuto makes mention of Tsukumo, who was quite adept at interpreting their gestures. Uchikin and his father can only shrug in response. It soon dawns on Kabuto that they too have no recollection of his divine companion. Concerned now that everyone has forgotten Tsukumo, he rushes to Kugane to speak with the one person who is certain to remember him─Shihoumi.
* Kabuto is relieved to hear that Shihoumi does, in fact, remember gifting him Tsukumo. His worry returns when it becomes clear she has no memory of the doll ever being animate. The only ones left likely to remember are his fellow Kojin. He returns to Tamamizu to speak with the other members of the Divine Circle, fearful of what they might say.
* With his brothers assembled, Kabuto asks them if they remember Tsukumo, the kami that founded the Divine Circle. While they do remember Tsukumo, they are dumbfounded by the claim that a doll was the founder of their order. As far as they can recall, it was Kabuto who brought them together. Kabuto is baffled by the notion and insists it was Tsukumo. Hearing the conviction in his voice, Bunchin is reminded of a similar experience from his past. He relays this story to Kabuto, explaining that Tsukumo's purpose was to guide him on a journey of enlightenment that only he was meant to remember. The once reclusive warrior is now an affable leader, more determined than ever to see his people prosper.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Gyokei at Yuzuka Manor.
* Speak with Uchikin in Reunion.
* Speak with Shihoumi in Kugane.
* Speak with Bunchin in Tamamizu.

Kabuto 	[Player Name]. I was hoping you would visit.
Kabuto 	Things have not been quite the same since we lost Tsukumo, but I've taken his words to heart. My every waking moment has been devoted to seeking treasures for our vault.
Kabuto 	We've made great progress, but the others insist I take a break if only for a short while.
Kabuto 	Rather than sit idle here in Tamamizu, I thought my time would be better spent visiting the good people of Othard who made contributions to the treasure vault.
Kabuto 	It will be a wonderful trip, made all the better by your company. If you would join me, come to Yanxia. I plan to start by paying a visit to Gyokei.
 	
Kabuto 	It's been too long since I've come to Yanxia. Judging by the lack of birds overhead, he's no longer plagued by that cursed vase.
Gyokei 	My, what a surprise. I trust all has been well since your last visit, yes, yes?
Kabuto 	Quite well, thank you. Trade with you and the other Namazu has been a boon. I came today to offer you thanks on behalf of the Blue Kojin.
Gyokei 	No, no, it is I who should be thanking you. Once more I can enjoy sunny days and blue skies clear of birds and their unsavory gifts. Yes, yes, life has never been better.
Kabuto 	Ah, so the curse was lifted as Tsukumo predicted. A pity he could not come with us to hear the good news.
Gyokei 	Tsukumo? Who is that? It sounds more like a flavorful dish than a person.
Kabuto 	Come now, Gyokei. Surely you remember the talking doll that accompanied me when we first met?
Gyokei 	What a silly, silly Kojin you are. As if I would forget something so remarkable as that. There was no such thing present when I met the two of you, no, no.
Kabuto 	What in the kami's name is going on?
Kabuto 	I suppose that's possible. It's not uncommon for one's memory to become hazy when thinking back on traumatic experiences.
Kabuto 	I suppose being attacked by Hirumaki was a rather traumatic experience. Perhaps the stress of it all has affected his memory.
Kabuto 	When a foe is truly formidable, even I cannot clearly recall what happened when we exchanged blows.
Kabuto 	At any rate, it would be unkind to make him relive his meeting with the Red.
Kabuto 	We won't keep you any longer, Gyokei. Take care, and may the blessings of the kami be upon you.
Gyokei 	Farewell, my friends. Next time I will go to visit you in Tamamizu, yes, yes.
Kabuto 	What say we visit Reunion next? Uchikin is likely a master of marksmanship by now.
 	
Gyokei 	If you happen to come across that talking doll Kabuto spoke of, I would like to see it very, very much.
Kabuto 	The road to the Azim Steppe was longer than I thought. I can scarcely believe Makura traveled all this way before our battle on the Isle of Zekki.
Uchikinpapa 	...
 	
Uchikin 	...
Kabuto 	It is good to see you both. Talk of your prowess is still hot on the lips of every merchant in Reunion. Your father must be proud.
Uchikin 	...
Kabuto 	Please, there is no need to thank us. No, it is I who should be thanking you. If not for your generosity, we never would have had the means to rescue our dear Tsukumo from the Red Kojin.
Kabuto 	That...was a bow to thank us, yes? Would that Tsukumo were here. He was quite adept at interpreting your expressions.
Uchikin 	...
Kabuto 	Does that mean you don't remember Tsukumo? A talking doll no higher than my knee, in the likeness of a Kojin?
Uchikin 	...
Kabuto 	First Gyokei and now these two. I don't know what's going on here but it can't be good.
Kabuto 	Perhaps we should go and visit Shihoumi. Surely she of all people would remember Tsukumo.
Kabuto 	Thank you for your time, but we must be leaving. Blessings of the kami be upon you.
Uchikin 	...
 	
Uchikin 	...
 	
Uchikinpapa 	...
Kabuto 	Shihoumi was the one who offered me Tsukumo as a gift. That she could forget him is unthinkable.
Shihoumi 	Good evening/Good morning/Good day to you/Good evening, [Player Name]. Kabuto. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
Kabuto 	I realize this is sudden, but... Do you recognize the jewel on my helmet?
Shihoumi 	Of course. I was the one who set it for you.
Kabuto 	Oh, thank the kami! Then you also remember Tsukumo, the doll from whence it came?
Shihoumi 	You mean the karakuri puppet I gave you as a gift for rescuing me?
Kabuto 	The very same.
Shihoumi 	Yes, I remember. It was so old and worn. I was honestly quite surprised you were so taken with it. The way you would clutch it in your arms, and you named it Tsukumo. I thought it was quite touching.
Shihoumi 	Though I must say, it was quite peculiar to see materia produced from a doll. It usually comes from arms or armor after a great deal of use.
Kabuto 	But you claimed this is what brought Tsukumo to life!
Shihoumi 	What? I said no such thing. I know not whose spirit gave form to that materia, but I fear affixing it to your helmet has clouded your memory.
Kabuto 	No! Tsukumo was alive, I tell you! He was always there to say what I could not, and he helped me establish relations with a great many people.
Shihoumi 	I'm sorry, Kabuto. I do not question this puppet meant a great deal to you, but if it truly was able to walk or talk, I was not witness to it.
Kabuto 	Have I gone mad, [Player Name]? How can no one remember? After everything we've accomplished.
Kabuto 	Do you suppose my brothers have forgotten him as well? No one has spoken of Tsukumo since the battle on the Isle of Zekki, but I'm beginning to suspect it's not to save me grief.
Kabuto 	Sorry to have troubled you. I only meant to come and give thanks for the puppet and your wonderful work on my helmet. Take care, Shihoumi.
Shihoumi 	I pray the kami guide you to the answers you seek.
Kabuto 	Let us return to Tamamizu. I would have a word with the elder.
 	
Shihoumi 	There must be something special about that puppet to excite Kabuto so. If only I could remember what...
Kabuto 	The mere thought of my brothers forgetting Tsukumo is too much to bear.
Bunchin 	What brings the two of you here? By all rights you should be resting, Kabuto.
Kabuto 	A question has been weighing on my mind for some time now, and...well...
 	
Makura 	There you are! I've assembled the Divine Circle as you asked. What is it you wished to discuss?
Kabuto 	Thank you all for coming. No one has spoken of him since he was lost to us, but I wished to speak with you all about Tsukumo.
Bunchin 	Tsukumo...? Ah, do you mean the puppet you enshrined in the treasure vault?
Kabuto 	So you do remember! I was beginning to fear everyone had forgotten the founder of our fellowship.
Bunchin 	What are you saying, Kabuto? It was you who formed the Divine Circle.
Kabuto 	No... No, it was Tsukumo. Why can none of you remember?
Kabuto 	I didn't think to ask, seeing as you accompanied me on my travels about Othard, but now I fear I must.
Kabuto 	Tell me true, [Player Name]─do you remember Tsukumo?
Kabuto 	Oh, what a relief. I thought I was losing my mind.
Bunchin 	Curious that only the two of you can recall Tsukumo as more than a mere doll.
Bunchin 	But perhaps this is not without reason. I believe the kami was meant to guide you on a journey of enlightenment. A journey only you were meant to remember.
Bunchin 	Yet it seems our friend [Player Name] here possesses a rare gift, one that allows her/him to recall that which others cannot.
Kabuto 	That can't be! I've seen him speak with you. With all of you.
Bunchin 	Curious that only you can recall Tsukumo as more than a mere doll.
Bunchin 	But perhaps this is not without reason. I believe this spirit was meant to guide you on a journey of enlightenment. A journey only you were meant to remember.
Kabuto 	You needn't mince words, Elder. You think this all a figment of my imagination, don't you?
Bunchin 	Not at all. In fact, I had a similar experience many years ago. At the time I assumed no one would believe me, and so I have kept it to myself all this time.
Bunchin 	There are myriad kami in this world, each with their own will, their own purpose. In the end, it would seem this kami was meant not for the Divine Circle, but for you.
 	
Makura 	I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. Oh, what I wouldn't give for such divine guidance.
Bunchin 	This is not the time for envy, Makura, but praise. The kami saw fit to make Kabuto a fine leader, and the Blue have gained new allies because of it.
Kabuto 	Truth be told, I can scarcely believe how far I've come. Looking back I can see how foolish I was to think protecting my brothers meant having to push them away.
Kabuto 	Tsukumo taught me the bonds we share are worth more than any treasure.
Bunchin 	Heed well the lessons you have learned here, Kabuto. I sense the path before you leads to a great many things.
Kabuto 	Where ever the path may lead, we will walk it together. It's what Tsukumo would have wanted.
Kabuto 	Our quest for treasure begins anew. For the Blue!
