The Satrap of Radz-at-Han

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
==Journal==
* With a heavy heart, you inform the alchemists of Nidhana's imprisonment within the Tower of Zot. Though saddened, they are resolved to produce as many warding scales as they can, that all those held captive might be saved. Varshahn then arrives bearing messages from the satrap, who invites the Scions to meet with him in Radz–at–Han. You duly accept, and make your way to the gates situated east of the Giantsgall Grounds, on the Perfumed Rise.
* Varshahn guides you through the city to Meghaduta, the satrap's residence, where you come face-to-face with the man himself, Ahewann. Not to be fooled, however, Estinien demands an end to the charade, and so does the true ruler of Radz–at–Han reveal himself: the great wyrm Vrtra, youngest of the first brood. The people of Ahewann's line have long posed as the satrap, while Varshahn, like other attendants before him, is a simulacrum created to serve as a vessel for the wyrm's will. The true history of Thavnair thus brought to light, Vrtra puts forth a proposal: if the Scions will agree to lead an assault on the Tower of Zot, he will provide them with more warding scales to shield them from its corruption. Though the offer is undeniably attractive, help will likely be required if you are to succeed in the mission, and it is decided that you will return to Sharlayan to confer with the rest of your order.
* Though the meeting took an unexpected turn, you now have a clear objective ahead of you. Having given everyone a friendly reminder to attune to the local aetheryte, Thancred sets off back to Sharlayan, and you and the others follow.
* After your eventful sojourn in Thavnair, you find yourself back in Sharlayan for a brief respite, and look to discussing the Tower of Zot with your comrades when the time is right.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Varshahn.
* Speak with Thancred.
* Speak with Thancred in the main hall.

Urianger 	Thy demeanor bespeaketh consternation, [Player Name]...
 	
Estinien 	Hm... Bad tidings, I take it.
 	
Thancred 	First, we must inform everyone of the situation, Nidhana's colleagues included.
Thancred 	I'll call them together for a gathering...but I think it would be best if you were the one to explain.
Alchemistofthegreatworkc	Oh, Nidhana... <sob>
Alchemistofthegreatworka	Can...can you answer me this...
Alchemistofthegreatworka	Though Nidhana is trapped in the tower, she's still alive, yes?
Alchemistofthegreatworka	Then...
Alchemistofthegreatworkb	Then we must make warding scales. As many as we can.
Alchemistofthegreatworkb	The prototype works perfectly. This, Nidhana proved at peril to herself.
Alchemistofthegreatworkb	So let us make more scales, that she and all those who were taken might be saved!
Alchemistofthegreatworka	Aye! As alchemists, this is how we will help win the fight!
Varshahn 	My friends, the satrap has been made aware of the tragedy.
Varshahn 	He offers his heartfelt condolences, and reiterates his pledge to provide you with all that you require. To that end, he bade me give you this linkpearl, that he might personally discuss the production of the warding scales with you.
Varshahn 	And for our Eorzean visitors, I bear an invitation.
Varshahn 	In her report, Mistress Nidhana noted your vital contributions to the talisman's creation.
Varshahn 	This fact came to the satrap's attention, and in recognition of your deeds, he wishes to meet you.
Varshahn 	In addition to thanking you in person, he would also discuss further avenues of collaboration.
Varshahn 	And so, if it is agreeable, will you not accompany me to Radz–at–Han for an audience with His Excellency?
Thancred 	We should be honored, of course. Closer cooperation between our lands can only be to the benefit of all.
Varshahn 	Then it is settled. Please come to the gates east of the Giantsgall Grounds, and I will show you into the city.
 	
Thancred 	Of the satrap, I only know the common tidbits. That though the position is hereditary, he is not considered a sovereign. And that, despite possessing considerable authority, he wields it sparingly.
Thancred 	Given the esteem in which the locals hold him, however, it's safe to assume he's good at his job. We could do far worse for an ally.
 	
Urianger 	Be it here or in Eorzea, all share in the desire to deliver the captives. Thus united, I pray that we may join in common cause with the satrap.
 	
Estinien 	When last I visited, the city was brimming with life. I expect the tower has dampened the mood somewhat.
 	
Varshahn 	All present? Then let us proceed.
Varshahn 	Owing to the threat of the tower, the city is currently in a state of high alert, and strict restrictions are in place for entry.
Varshahn 	Though you have been granted special permission, I ask that you remain close to me at all times.
 	
Urianger 	That we should encounter one of the first brood in such a circumstance...
 	
Estinien 	If our course of action is decided, let's not tarry.
 	
Thancred 	That meeting took a rather unexpected turn, but we now have a clear objective ahead of us.
Thancred 	Let us rejoin our comrades in Sharlayan, and muster a suitable crew for our foray into the Tower of Zot.
Thancred 	Oh, and if you haven't already done so, be sure to attune to the aetheryte here before departing. Unless of course you enjoy violent nausea...
 	
Thancred 	Just as I was getting used to balmy Thavnair, we're back in chilly Sharlayan... Take care not to catch your death, eh? We need you for the battles to come.
Thancred 	Now then, everyone appears to be here, so let us take stock of all the developments and discoveries.
Thancred 	Now then, your investigation here remains, but when that's over, we can take stock of all of the developments and discoveries.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
