Alphinaud 	The Final Days─how far has the phenomenon spread, and how does it manifest itself in each land? I must reach out to my friends in each nation and find out all I can.
 	
Alisaie 	Ahhh...!
Alisaie 	Well, I suppose I do feel better on a full stomach, after all. Burning skies? Blasphemies? Not if I've got anything to say about it!
 	
Thancred 	Should Ryne ask questions, don't hide the truth from her. If anything, see if she has any insights to offer.
Thancred 	She's not a child in need of protection, but a comrade we should be willing to rely upon. Even if a part of me may always beg to differ.
 	
Yshtola 	If the Forum truly has been spurred to action by Hydaelyn's prophecy, then is it not odd that the Antitower was entrusted to Master Matoya, who bears them no love?
Yshtola 	No doubt She has a reason for this, and I would know what it is...
 	
Estinien 	Beasts and blasphemies may be running amok in nearby lands outside the influence of Radz–at–Han and the alliance. If so, I may need to go hunting.
 	
Grahatia 	Take this, [Player Name]─my spirit vessel.
Grahatia 	Empty now, of course, but it should allow you to operate the tower's systems in the Umbilicus.
Grahatia 	If even the smallest fragment of Elidibus's essence remains, it should be possible to locate it.
Grahatia 	As for access to the Umbilicus, pray seek out Lyna for assistance. Chances are she still stands watch at the Accensor Gate.
Grahatia 	Should she or anyone else ask after me, tell them...I am living my life to the fullest. That I am happy, hardships and all.
Grahatia 	...Well, we had best be on our respective ways. Gods willing, we will see each other again ere long.
 	
Lyna 	[Player Name]! You are returned!
Lyna 	Have you been well? You and the others...
 	
Lyna 	Full glad am I to hear that. I trust my lord is enjoying himself.
Lyna 	Then things are much the same for you as they were here. My lord is doubtless enjoying himself.
Lyna 	He...he said this to you? These exact words?
Lyna 	Oh, to know that he is happy... It fills my heart with joy.
Lyna 	Thank you, [Player Name]. For taking care of him.
Lyna 	When next you see him, please tell him not to overexert himself. Futile a request though it is.
Lyna 	And tell him that all is well here.
Lyna 	The peace you gifted us continues, and we work hard to build new lives for ourselves.
Lyna 	In the course of this we occasionally bicker, but we've never been more optimistic for the morrow.
Lyna 	If I had to mention one dilemma, it would be the question of our governance. Even as we speak, debate rages on over how we should run the city in the Exarch's absence.
Lyna 	Most are of a mind that the Settlement council should continue to oversee the general running of the Crystarium, while representatives are elected to determine policy and handle diplomacy.
Lyna 	Thus far nothing is set in stone, but however we choose to proceed, we will not replace our lord. No one could.
Lyna 	...Have we recently observed any unusual phenomena?
Lyna 	No, I cannot say there have been. Curious that you should ask me this question, though...
Lyna 	Some days ago, Ryne came and asked the very same. She was rather unsettled─in stark contrast to how cheerful she has been of late.
Lyna 	She and other Crystarium youths just hosted a festival, you see.
Lyna 	It proved so popular that there are already plans for another celebration─one much bigger than the first.
Lyna 	Between her preparations for the festival and the restoration of the Empty, she struck me as happy and full of life.
Lyna 	Ryne has been dedicating herself to the restoration of the Empty, you see.
Lyna 	Though it will take many long years, the goal seems to have given her a newfound sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Lyna 	So when I saw her in a state of such worry, I couldn't help but feel worried in turn. Especially since she wouldn't tell me what troubled her.
Lyna 	I daresay she would be more willing to confide in you. May I ask you to broach the subject with her?
Lyna 	You wish to enter the Umbilicus? Very well. I shall fetch the key at once─and take the opportunity to find Ryne.
Lyna 	Please wait for me in the city, in front of the Cabinet of Curiosity, shall we say. I will be along as soon as I can.
 	
Beq Lugg 	...Do my old eyes deceive? Is that truly [Player Name]?
Beq Lugg 	Hah, it is! Full glad am I to see you hale and whole, my friend!
Moren 	What a wonderful surprise it is to have you back with us─and at this most opportune time!
Moren 	In case you haven't heard, we are planning to produce a tome chronicling events from the Flood to the night's return.
Moren 	For this project, we intend to draw upon records kept by the world's peoples.
Moren 	Historical and contemporary firsthand accounts will be the centerpiece of the tome, but yours would be the one to crown them all!
Beq Lugg 	I've been asked to contribute a chapter on the soul─a subject that is key to understanding much of your endeavors.
Beq Lugg 	In the course of developing the spirit vessel, I gained valuable insights into travel beyond the rift. Knowledge that will allow me to attest to your existence and deeds!
Moren 	There is no end to the questions I would ask you, but if you could indulge me just one for now...
Moren 	In your quest to restore the night, you faced many a formidable foe.
Moren 	Among them, who offered you the greatest struggle?
 	
Moren 	Ah yes, Titania, the fallen faerie king. Against such a fiendishly playful opponent, I can well imagine that even the Warrior of Darkness must have struggled.
Moren 	But you succeeded in setting them free, and your victory proved a pivotal moment in your quest. We will see that it features prominently in the tome!
Moren 	Ah yes, Lord Vauthry, former leader of Eulmore and the final Lightwarden you cast down. Building his paradise on Mt. Gulg, he proclaimed his existence immaculate and took the name Innocence.
Moren 	Your reckoning with him was, without a doubt, a defining moment in history, and we will see that it features prominently in the tome!
Moren 	Ah yes, Hades, he who sought to resurrect his ancient brethren. He was the final obstacle in your quest to restore the night; your battle in the depths of the Tempest the stuff of epics.
Moren 	Yet compelling as it is, I worry that mere words wouldn't do justice to that fateful confrontation...
Moren 	Not that we would think to omit it entirely, of course. No, at the very least, we will impress upon readers that it was the climax of your hero's journey.
Moren 	T-Truly? I never would have guessed... But then if I could, I suppose I wouldn't have had to ask.
Moren 	'Tis a tremendously eye-opening answer, and we will see that your account of this battle features prominently in the tome!
Beq Lugg 	I know you'd love to talk her/his ear off, Moren, but we really should be on our way. Those documents from Eulmore won't collect themselves.
Moren 	Of course, of course. And afterwards, would you care to join me for tea? I was hoping you might clarify a few points in your treatise...
Beq Lugg 	Till next time, then. Do tell the others to look after themselves.
Beq Lugg 	Our overzealous friend, in particular─remind him not to overexert himself. Again and again till his ears fall off, if that's what it takes for him to take it to heart.
Arkil 	<gasp> Is that the Warrior of Darkness!?
Riqitio 	It's her/him! It's really her/him! What are you doing here?
Riqitio 	If you're going to battle, I can give you some medicine! I made it myself!
Eirwel 	Best not, Riqi. You'd only give her/him a stomachache.
Eirwel 	We've come to see Moren. To get his advice.
Eirwel 	One of the guard finally agreed to teach us how to fight. But first, we need to choose a fighting style.
Eirwel 	While I know that I want to be a mage, Arkil isn't sure.
Arkil 	Magic isn't really my thing. So I was thinking of taking up the axe. Or the sword. Or maybe the bow!
Arkil 	They all seem all right, but it's hard to decide, so I thought I'd ask Moren. He knows about lots of things.
Arkil 	He isn't here? Awww...
Riqitio 	Ooh, ooh! Why don't you have the Warrior of Darkness choose for you?
Riqitio 	What do you think suits Arkil best? Axe, sword, or bow?
 	
Riqitio 	The axe... If you took up the axe, you could be just like...
Crystaliumchildren	Ardbert, the Warrior of Light!
Riqitio 	The sword... If you took up the sword, you could be just like...
Crystaliumchildren	Branden, the Warrior of Light!
Riqitio 	The bow... If you took up the bow, you could be just like...
Crystaliumchildren	Renda-Rae, the Warrior of Light!
Riqitio 	I love that tale! Let's borrow the book today!
Eirwel 	It's really popular, though. I hope it's still there...
Arkil 	Thanks for helping me decide, Warrior of Darkness! I'll start with that style, and maybe try something else later on.
Arkil 	And when I get really strong, I hope to have a bout with you!
Feo Ul 	Hmph... Such fun s/he's been having basking in the adoration of musty old bookworms and wide-eyed younglings, but does s/he spare a thought for me? Of course not!
Feo Ul 	I waited and waited and waited, but s/he won't so much as acknowledge the presence of her/his beautiful branch even though they're right here! Such a heartless thing our sapling is! Cold and cruel and heartless!
 	
Feo Ul 	Why do you say it like a question!? Where's the love, the respect─the awe!?
Feo Ul 	...But disappointed as I am, I'll overlook it this once. I know you have a lot on your mind right now.
Feo Ul 	If you truly missed me, you should have cried for me at the top of your lungs the instant you arrived!
Feo Ul 	To make up for it, you will call with twice the passion next time. Though for there to be a next time, you've some few struggles to overcome.
Feo Ul 	I've no end of important tasks to attend to, but unlike some, I know what my priorities should be! And since when did my sapling become a twisted old tree that says such unkind things!?
Feo Ul 	...But disappointed as I am, I'll overlook it this once. I know you have a lot on your mind right now.
Feo Ul 	So, my adorable sapling. The world is on the verge of destruction, is it?
Feo Ul 	Hehe, how do I know this? Joined as we are, spying on you is as simple as sliding down the back of a rainbow.
Feo Ul 	Would that I could aid you in your quest...but the fate of we fae folk is bound to that of the star. Whither it goes, so too do we follow. Such is our way.
Feo Ul 	The most I could do for you is spare you the pain, by gifting you the sweetest of eternal dreams...
Feo Ul 	But if escape's not to your liking, then you must struggle with your fellow mortals.
Feo Ul 	Ah, but here are the ones you were waiting for. I wonder, what manner of conclusion awaits at tale's end...?
Lyna 	My apologies for the delay.
Ryne 	[Player Name]! It's so wonderful to see you again!
Lyna 	You doubtless have much catching up to do, so I shall leave you to it. I've taken the liberty of unlocking the Umbilicus, and you may enter at your leisure.
 	
Ryne 	I'm relieved to hear that everyone is well.
Ryne 	I've had this feeling, like a pit in my stomach, and I was afraid that something might have happened...
Ryne 	Maybe I'm overthinking things, but...it's just that...
Ryne 	I'm the Oracle of Light, but I've never spoken with Hydaelyn. Never once heard Her call.
Ryne 	Even so, I've always had this feeling deep inside me. A connection to something immense.
Ryne 	These past few days, though, that connection has...wavered. As if that immense something was distant, then close, then distant again...
Ryne 	And then, the other night, I was jolted awake by the feeling it had been completely severed.
Ryne 	Wanting some fresh air, I went to open the window...and to my horror, the sky was ablaze. Like during the starshower...
Ryne 	But then I blinked, and everything was normal. The next day, no one said a thing. No one else had seen what I had seen.
Ryne 	As far as I could tell, nothing was out of the ordinary. I began to wonder if it was a figment of a half-remembered dream...
Ryne 	[Player Name]...? What are you not telling me?
Ryne 	I have to know─please! It doesn't matter how terrible it is!
Ryne 	It wasn't my imagination, then. The doom we witnessed in Amaurot has come again...
Ryne 	I can't believe it...
Ryne 	Like I told you before, all is well here in the First.
Ryne 	So don't worry about us. Please. Look only to the threat before you.
Ryne 	We're fine right now, and even if we weren't, we've learned how to survive.
Ryne 	Should the Final Days reach us here as well, you may be assured we won't go quietly.
Ryne 	No, we'll hold on until you can find a way to save all our worlds.
Ryne 	So long as you continue your fight, so too will we, united in purpose beneath a blazing sky.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
