An Uncertain Future

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Although there has been progress in the search for F'lhaminn, Yda, and Papalymo, the hunt for Minfilia and Thancred remains at a standstill. Fortunately, it would seem that one of the surviving Students of Baldesion is coming to aid you in your efforts. As much as he would like to stay and greet the Sharlayan scholar, Alphinaud─and you─have been summoned for a private audience with Ser Aymeric to discuss an undisclosed matter. Attend the lord commander at the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly forthwith.
* Despite Ser Aymeric's decision to disclose the circumstances surrounding his father's disappearance, there is growing unrest in the city of Ishgard. Some dispute the lord commander's version of events, while many who do accept the truth question the measures taken to stop the archbishop. Still others have turned their ire on the clergy whom they claim were complicit in Thordan's deception. Desperate to secure a lasting peace, Ser Aymeric bids you escort Lucia to Anyx Trine, that she might treat with Vidofnir and thereby reestablish diplomatic relations with Hraesvelgr's brood.
* Lucia admits to knowing little of Anyx Trine or its surrounding lands, and thanks you for agreeing to serve as her escort. As it may be some time before you return to the capital, Alphinaud thinks it best to notify Tataru of your plans prior to departing.
* Tataru is heartened to learn of your diplomatic mission, and readily concedes that it should take precedence over receiving the Sharlayan scholar. Even so, she encourages you to join the welcoming party in Idyllshire should time permit, as the Sharlayan scholar in question is not just anyone... Before she can elaborate, however, Alphinaud loudly declares that you must return to the Congregation at once. Apparently, the first commander has been kept waiting long enough.
* Lucia has finished her preparations and is eager to depart. With luck, this will be a momentous journey...
==Objectives==
* Speak with Aymeric at the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly.
* Speak with Lucia.
* Speak with Tataru.
* Speak with Lucia.

Alphinaud 	Fortuitous timing as always, [Player Name]. Tataru was about to brief me on the search for our missing comrades.
Alphinaud 	If you would be so kind, then?
Tataru 	Absolutely! You'll be pleased to hear that Riol and his men have been making excellent progress!
Tataru 	You remember how F'lhaminn helped me to escape the Crystal Braves in Limsa Lominsa, only to then disappear? Well, according to Riol, she crept aboard a ship bound for Radz–at–Han, where she's been hiding ever since. He assures me that it won't be long before we're reunited.
Tataru 	As for Yda and Papalymo, the remains of their linkpearls have been found─and in Pearl Lane of all places. Riol thinks they must have disposed of them after escaping from the Royal Promenade.
Alphinaud 	Yes, that would make sense... They could not risk being eavesdropped upon by our betrayers.
Tataru 	We're all but certain they fled the city shortly after...though we still don't have a clue where they went.
Alphinaud 	I see. And what of Thancred and Minfilia?
Tataru 	...I'm afraid I have nothing new to share about those two. But it's not all doom and gloom! The good news is, we've enlisted the services of a Sharlayan scholar─one of the Students of Baldesion─to aid in the search, who should be arriving any day now!
Alphinaud 	One of the Students, you say? I should very much like to meet this scholar─if time permits.
Alphinaud 	But first we must attend to a more pressing matter. Ser Aymeric has summoned the two of us for a private audience. The messenger did not specify what he wished to discuss─only that it was urgent.
Alphinaud 	Assuming you have no objections, [Player Name], I suggest we proceed to the Congregation forthwith.
Alphinaud 	And mayhap we can meet with the scholar afterwards. Agreed?
Tataru 	In that case, I think I'll return to the Forgotten Knight for now. Things are liable to fall apart if I'm gone too long, you know!
 	
Tataru 	Don't worry about our visitor. Y'shtola and I will treat her to a warm welcome!
 	
Alphinaud 	Good invariably triumphs over evil in faerie tales, yet they are conspicuously reticent about what follows...
 	
Templekightgate	The lord commander is within. Pray proceed, miss/sir.
Scene00010 	Proceed to the Seat of the Lord Commander?
Scene00010 	Yes
Scene00010 	No
 	
Alphinaud 	The journey, at least, should pose little difficulty this time.
Tataru 	Be with you in a moment, [Player Name]!
 	
Lucia 	I know little of the lands these dragons call home─this Anyx Trine. Had you not agreed to escort me, the coming journey would seem a far more daunting prospect.
Alphinaud 	I confess, I myself once shuddered at the thought of it. Yet even the longest journey begins with the first step, does it not?
Ah, but ere we set forth, [Player Name] and I must needs inform our comrade of our plans.
Lucia 	Very well. I shall see to my preparations.
Alphinaud 	Then let us go and bid farewell to Tataru, [Player Name].
 	
Handeloup 	The first commander─and you─have been entrusted with a mission of grave import. For Ishgard's sake, it must not fail.
Hilda 	Heard about the watch from the lord commander, did you? Aye, it's true. Feels queer to be operatin' so openly, but I couldn't say no after he batted them eyelashes of his.
Symme 	Hah, would you look at us! Honest-to-gods watchmen! Hey, how's this sound? “You there─move along!” Not bad, eh?
Eudestand 	You can hardly call us a proper watch when we ain't got no uniforms or trainin'. That'll all come with time, though, I hope.
 	
Alphinaud 	Hm? I thought you might want to tell her. Or would you rather I did all the talking...?
 	
Lucia 	Traversing the western highlands calls for warmer clothing. Yet there are only so many layers one can fit under plate armor...
 	
Tataru 	So? What was your secret meeting all about? I'm all ears!
Tataru 	A diplomatic mission to Anyx Trine, you say? Well, I suppose that does take precedence...
Tataru 	But should your meeting with Vidofnir happen to end early, you might consider rendezvousing with Y'shtola in Idyllshire. She'll be there to receive our guest.
Tataru 	Don't get me wrong, your meeting with the dragons is terribly important and everything, but this scholar just happens to be─
Alphinaud 	Time permitting, as I said. We shall endeavor to join Y'shtola, but if we cannot, pray pass on our regards.
Alphinaud 	Let us be off, [Player Name]. We have kept the first commander waiting long enough.
 	
Tataru 	<sigh> Well, let no one say I didn't try!
 	
Alphinaud 	One task at a time, [Player Name]. Besides, I have no doubt that Y'shtola can look after the scholar by herself.
 	
Lucia 	You are ready, then? Good─so am I.
