A New Ruby Tithe

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Before you and your comrades can settle upon a new course of action, Yugiri grows tense. Men in armor are approaching. She urges you and Lyse to come with her and find a place to hide.
* From the shadows of a building you observe as a squadron of soldiers marches into Namai, led by the selfsame pilus who threatened Tansui in the Ruby Sea. He tells the gathered people of the battle between Confederate and imperial forces in Isari, declaring it a brazen, unconscionable act that will not go unanswered. Announcing that some will be required to serve the Garleans in rudimentary support roles for an indeterminate period of time, the pilus prior begins to select villagers one by one, ending with Isse, the young man who implored you to leave Namai and never return. Powerless to intervene without endangering the lives of the villagers, you and your comrades can only watch as the soldiers depart with their hostages.
* After Yugiri convinces Lyse to return to the House of the Fierce to inform the others of this development, the ninja turns to you and states that you must hurry if you are to catch up to the soldiers.
* Calling a halt, Yugiri reminds you that for the sake of the villagers, you must make every effort to refrain from needless violence. To that end, she furnishes you with a blowgun and darts that you can use to put imperial soldiers to sleep. One stands alone on a hill to the south─an ideal opportunity for practice.
* The dart finds its mark, and the soldier crumples to the ground without a sound. Satisfied, Yugiri directs you to another vantage point from where you can take aim at the remaining soldiers in the unit.
* Soon the ground is littered with snoring soldiers, and your path is clear to cross the river and rejoin Yugiri northwest of Fluminis.
* Yugiri applauds your handiwork, and informs you that the soldiers in the nearby castrum remain unaware of your presence. Several guard the gate, and once more the ninja invites you to use your blowgun to incapacitate them while she stands watch for wayward patrols.
* The sentries are dispatched as easily as those before them. You put away your blowgun and descend the hill to rejoin your comrade.
* Free to advance, you and Yugiri approach the gates to Fluminis cautiously, uncertain what awaits you beyond the threshold...
* Joined by people taken from other nearby villages, the people of Namai listen in disbelief as the pilus tells them that they will be tasked with the repair and maintenance of arms and armaments, as well as magitek devices. Needless to say, it would take years before they perform such duties effectively, and it finally dawns on the gathered Domans that they have been effectively sentenced to a life of servitude. The pilus departs for the castle, leaving the villagers in the care of his subordinates. You must act quickly if you are to save them, for once they are transported to the facility on the distant shore, there is no escape...

Lyse 	There's got to be something we can do, right? We can't just give up and go home. Not after everything we've been through.
 	
Yugiri 	...Despite everything we have seen and learned, I refuse to renounce this cause.
Yugiri 	We should return to the House of the Fierce and consult with our comrades. Perhaps together, we might─
Yugiri 	Did you hear that? Quickly, we must find a place to hide!
 	
Lyse 	Is someone coming? I didn't hear anything.
 	
Yugiri 	Behind me, [Player Name]! They come from the south!
 	
Yugiri 	Regardless of what the officer claimed, I fear they have crueler designs for these people.
Yugiri 	With me, [Player Name]. We must hurry!
 	
Yugiri 	Given the circumstances, we must make every effort to refrain from needless violence.
Yugiri 	Here. It is a shinobi's tool, for when a more discreet approach is required. Use it with these darts. They are coated with an alchemical reagent that induces a deep sleep.
Yugiri 	There are soldiers patrolling ahead. Were circumstances different we could engage them directly, but for the villagers' sake we dare not risk it.
Yugiri 	We will use our blowguns to incapacitate them. For a shinobi such as you, this should prove no challenge. Nevertheless, practice is in order...
Yugiri 	We will use our blowguns to incapacitate them. Regardless of your familiarity with such weapons, you are a veteran warrior, and I am sure it will come naturally to you. Nevertheless, practice is in order...
 	
Yugiri 	There─the soldier on the hill below. Take aim and fire─if the dart finds its mark, he should fall within moments.
 	
Yugiri 	Well done, my friend! Now, give me your map─there is a vantage point from which you may observe and fire upon the other soldiers.
Yugiri 	Worry not─I shall be with you every step of the way, keeping watch for other patrols. We shall speak again on the other side of the river.
 	
Soldiera02495 	Huh. Who are you? Some wandering merchant? Whatever it is, I don't want any. Piss off.
 	
Soldierb02495 	This is no place for the likes of you. Begone!
 	
Yugiri 	Excellent work, [Player Name]. They appear to be none the wiser...
Yugiri 	The villagers are being held in the castrum to the south─Fluminis.
Yugiri 	Once, it was the base of operations for the Garlean occupation...until ten or so years ago, when they relocated to Doma Castle. Now, the castrum serves as little more than a storage facility...
Yugiri 	I spy two sentries near the gate. As you have proven yourself to have impeccable aim, I would ask you to incapacitate them. This very hill should afford you a clear shot.
 	
Yugiri 	I will stand watch while you see to the guards. Climb the hill and use your blowgun to put them to sleep!
 	
Yugiri 	Fine work, [Player Name]. Oboro would be proud.
Yugiri 	Fine work, [Player Name]. You have a gift for the ways of the shinobi...
Yugiri 	The way is clear─let us move closer and see what has become of the villagers.
Soldierc02495 	Sir! The Aan from the other villages are assembled for inspection.
Garleanleaderdoma	Very good. I will address them personally.
Garleanleaderdoma	Attention! Shortly you all will be transported to the facility on the distant shore.
Garleanleaderdoma	Your duties, as you have been previously informed, will be rudimentary in nature. More specifically, you will be tasked with the repair and maintenance of various arms and armaments, as well as magitek devices.
Villager02495 	Magitek!? But we're farmers! We don't know the first thing about magitek!
Villager02495 	It'd take us months, if not years, to learn how to do that kind of work!
Garleanleaderdoma	The materiel in question was damaged when your kith and kin rose up in rebellion! Therefore, you bear responsibility for its repair!
Garleanleaderdoma	If you cannot perform your duties, you will learn how. And if you cannot learn how, then your villages may find themselves at the mercy of the Confederacy and other radical elements. Is that what you want?
Garleanleaderdoma	Deal with this rabble. I am needed at the castle.
Yugiri 	This is no temporary measure. Those men and women will die in servitude.
Yugiri 	Once they are taken to the other facility, it will be too late. If we are to intervene, we must do so now. Agreed?
Yugiri 	Then let us be about it.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
