: Araby: (Shouldn't we get someone from Kshahrewar to manage the lighthouse?)
== Dialogue==
:Araby: Hello.
:Araby: Sorry, I'm observing the sea and can't talk much.
: And you are...
::Araby: I'm an researcher from the Akademiya, primarily studying sea creatures.
::Araby: And responsible for the upkeep of the lighthouse while at it.
::Araby: To be honest, I know very little about lighthouses. It's the Kshahrewar researchers who are the experts...
::Araby: I can't figure out why the sages would make such an arrangement... Probably because I was here already.
:: About the sages...
:::Araby: The sages enjoy the highest status in the Akademiya. There is one per school, six in all.
:::Araby: The sages assign jobs to us researchers.
:::Araby: Just like I was sent to monitor the ocean and watch the lighthouse.
:::Araby: It's basically a boring job when there's no sea creatures. The only positive side is its security.
:: About Kshahrewar...
:::Araby: Kshahrewar encompasses many sub-genres. Architecture is just one of them.
:::Araby: If I studied architecture, I could explain how lighthouses works to you... Unfortunately, I didn't.
:::Araby: Oh, speaking of architecture, go to northern Sumeru City and see the Palace of Alcazarzaray if you're interested.
:::Araby: The palace is a masterpiece of Mr. Kaveh, who graduated from Kshahrewar with honors. It's magnificent and exquisite.
:::Araby: It's said to be commissioned by a filthy rich merchant, but I have no clue who that is, so I've got nothing more to tell you.
:: About marine life...
:::Araby: They're mainly sea monsters. A group of mysterious creatures that live in the sea and occasionally attack residents of coastal areas.
:::Araby: With the progress of my research, I've been able to predict roughly when they would appear and issue warnings.
:::Araby: As soon as the warning is issued, all ships will return to the harbor to avoid disturbing those sea creatures.
:::Araby: There are exceptions too, of course. A few days ago, I saw a ship leave the harbor after the warning was issued. I don't know if it came back safely.
:::Araby: Maybe some researcher planned on observing the sea when the sea monsters are out and about. I feel sorry for the people on the ship.
: I'll leave you to it, then.
::Araby: Yeah, see you.
==Event Dialogue==
===Chromatic Ode of Candies and Roses===
:Araby: Hello there. Sumeru sure is lively lately, isn't it?
:Araby: Though I'd love to just calmly observe the sea, the sounds of merriment and celebration sometimes drown out the waves.
:Araby: But now we must be more vigilant. What if some giant sea monster wants to come celebrate the Dendro Archon's birthday too, but accidentally knocks the lighthouse over?
:Araby: I've got to be ready to remind it to watch its step, haha!
:Araby: ...Um, don't take it seriously! I'm just joking!
