Once, Twice, Three Times a Warrior

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Curious Gorge has been training as hard as ever and has indeed grown stronger for it, yet upon seeing you for the first time in an age, he immediately recognizes that you have grown stronger still. After you regale him with tales of your adventures in the First, particularly those of Granson and Dikaiosyne, he concludes that the reason for his limited growth is love─or rather, that he has been unable to put it out of his mind. Curious Gorge has sent many missives to Dorgono in the Far East, but has yet to receive even a single reply, and so he resolves to go and see her in person...and thus is not present when Dorgono and her father Luvsan arrive moments later, having recently come all the way from the Azim Steppe to thank in person all those who aided the Qerel. Since Curious Gorge is nowhere to be found, you are to proceed to the Moraby Drydocks where Broken Mountain and his warriors can be found.
* During the course of their conversation, Broken Mountain admits to Luvsan that he does not carry an axe because he can no longer fight. However, the elder Xaela does not believe all hope is lost, and proposes a treatment that may restore him to fighting condition. A certain type of moss will be necessary for this, and Luvsan believes he saw a suitable substitute on the way to the docks.
* The moss in question can be found growing on boulders strewn throughout the general vicinity, and Luvsan bids you gather it by first shattering them with a Heavy Swing, which should render it easier to collect. If nothing else, it is inarguably a more dramatic way of gathering moss than gently scraping it off.
* You succeed in gathering the moss in the distinct warrior fashion. Luvsan should be satisfied with the quantity in your possession.
* Taking advantage of your privacy, Luvsan confesses that he had an ulterior motive for coming to Eorzea: to confirm his suspicions that his daughter had fallen in love with a warrior of the West. After meeting you, he concludes that you are the suitor in question, and offers to bless your union─at which point Dorgono returns and puts an end to the discussion for the time being.
* With all gathered for the ritual, Luvsan offers an elixir to Broken Mountain, who drinks deep. Finally, he instructs you to strike the injured warrior with all your might, assuring you both that it is the only way. Though Broken Mountain is understandably uncomfortable with this proposal, the die is cast, and only a Heavy Swing will suffice.
* Broken Mountain weathers your assault, and moments later finds himself filled with newfound strength. He is a warrior reborn, and the beast within is his to command. As all celebrate his successful recovery, Curious Gorge approaches─but observing from afar, mistakes Dorgono's joyful smile as an expression of her love towards you, leading him to succumb to his inner beast and charge. Fortunately, before it turns into a needlessly messy and violent affair, she brings him to his senses with a single blow.After Curious Gorge recovers, he apologizes for the misunderstanding, and joins in celebrating his brother's miraculous recovery. Sensing that this is the Western suitor, Luvsan silently approves, and declares that it is time to return to the Steppe─alone. Dorgono, however, is to remain in Eorzea, where she will continue to hone her skills until she is a warrior fit to be wed. Needless to say, both she and Curious Gorge are more than satisfied with this state of affairs, and together they return to Hidden Falls to begin their training together.
* Curious Gorge reminds you not to grow complacent in your own efforts to grow stronger still, for with Broken Mountain healed and Dorgono in Eorzea for the time being, your competition for the title of the realm's greatest warrior has grown that much more intense. And indeed, the day may come when one of the three will dethrone you...but not yet.

Curious Gorge 	Oh, [Player Name]...how long has it been? I've been dedicating myself wholly to my training for some time now, day after day after day, but I fear my progress has come to a halt of late.
Curious Gorge 	You look well. A fair bit stronger than I remember, even. What is your secret, my friend? How have you grown so much more powerful?
Curious Gorge 	Wait, wait─ I can tell this is going to take a while. Since I've just finished my training, why don't we speak at length on dry land?
Curious Gorge 	So there are more worlds than this, eh? That's a lot to take in... And this Granson, ye gods. To see the woman you love taken from you before your very eyes... <sniffle> No wonder he struggled so mightily to pick up the pieces of his life...
Curious Gorge 	After listening to your tale, I realize what it is I've been missing. The one thing I lack to spur me to even greater heights!
Curious Gorge 	'Tis love!
Curious Gorge 	I sent several missives to Dorgono, you see, but she has yet to respond even once! I've waited patiently, eagerly, but still! Still no word has arrived!
Curious Gorge 	Fear has crept into my heart. Has she forgotten me? Has she met another!?
Curious Gorge 	I cannot rest until I know the reason for her delay! I must know! This is no time for training!
Curious Gorge 	Nor can I afford to be patient. Granson's time with his beloved was cut short─who is to say ours will not be as well? Or worse, if it already has...
Curious Gorge 	It is decided! I will purchase passage on the next ship for the Far East and return to the Azim Steppe with all haste! I'm coming, Dorgono!
Dorgono 	[Player Name], how fortunate you are here! I have been looking all over for Curious Gorge. The Marauders' Guild told me he trained near here, but I did not know you did as well!
Dorgono 	What do you mean he's going to the Steppe to see me because I never answered any of his missives? Is this a joke?
Dorgono 	No matter how many he sent, I would have never responded. Our people have no written tongue. Whatever reached us was probably fed to the goats. Anyway─let us hope that someone informs him of our arrival before he gets on a ship...
Dorgono 	As for why I have traveled all this way, it was at the behest of my father, who wished to thank you and Curious Gorge personally for fighting on our behalf.
Luvsan 	I am Luvsan of the Qerel, and you are [Player Name]─the khagan who stood with my people against the Chaghan.
Luvsan 	But that is not all, for you also helped my youngest daughter gain control over the will of Karash. No words can express the depth of my gratitude to you.
Dorgono 	You promised not to speak of Karash...
Luvsan 	But I must. My heart broke when she was marked as Taken and exiled. Never again would I see her, I feared. But then she returned! Blood of my blood, master of Karash! My little girl...and it is all because of you.
Luvsan 	In thanks for your deeds, I wish to present to you thirty horses─
Dorgono 	Father, no! It is not the way of Eorzea to give horses as thanks! And besides, s/he is a traveler! They would only be a burden!
Luvsan 	I apologize, khagan. Now then─I must also express my gratitude to the others. Warriors of the Maelstrom, were they? I believe I recall the way...
Dorgono 	If you have the time to spare, might you accompany us? Having traveled so long solely in the company of my father, I am finding him increasingly exhausting...
 	
Luvsan 	Well do I know how difficult my daughter can be, and so I wish to present you with a gift as an expression of my gratitude. I am told you would have no use for horses, but what about fifty goats?
Dorgono 	It brings me joy to see the Lominsan warriors in good health!
warrior 	Gorge's got good taste, aye. If it weren't for him, I'd have a mind to...er...give a polite and wholly appropriate compliment and be on my way.
 	
Broken Mountain	It is a pleasure to see you again, [Player Name], as well as Dorgono. I am surprised to see her as you doubtless are, and in the company of her father besides...
Luvsan 	...I must insist that you accept a small token of my appreciation. I do not doubt my daughter was quite the handful. No less than fifty goats, I think, should suffice for the imposition─
Dorgono 	Fifty goats would be a far greater imposition, Father!
Broken Mountain	It really was no bother, sir. A pleasure, honestly─and a regrettably short one at that. So much so that we were hoping we might see her again, so you can imagine our surprise and our delight when you arrived.
Luvsan 	If not horses or goats, then... Wait. Are you not the leaders of these warriors? Yet you do not carry an axe. Why is this?
Broken Mountain	That is...that is because I cannot. Not since I was defeated by mine own brother in battle. He had succumbed to his inner beast─your Karash─and struck a blow with such ferocity from which I have never fully recovered.
Broken Mountain	But it is well that he did, for I too was in thrall to the beast at the time. Had he not given it his all, countless innocents may have died by my hand...
Luvsan 	It is not an unfamiliar story. Many a Qerel has suffered a grievous injury which rendered them unable to fight.
Luvsan 	But I am a boo─a healer, and I can help you to wield your axe once more.
Broken Mountain	This is in your power? I...I did not think it was possible!
Luvsan 	It pains me to see a warrior who yet yearns to fight but cannot. Allow me to treat you as repayment for your kindness.
Broken Mountain	Full glad am I to accept! Thank you, sir, thank you...
Luvsan 	This treatment requires a quantity of shivermoss. While it is not native to your land, I believe a similar type grows here. Let us go and gather some.
Broken Mountain	You lot return to your training for now.
Broken Mountain	I don't know about you, [Player Name], but I'm bloody excited!
 	
Dorgono 	Do you have any siblings, khagan? I am youngest of eighteen myself...
 	
Luvsan 	The moss of which I spoke I spied in this place not long ago. We will need a moderate amount for the ritual to heal Broken Mountain. You and Dorgono can both assist me in this.
Luvsan 	Look for mossy rocks nearby and shatter them with a Heavy Swing, then gather up the shivermoss.
Dorgono 	Ah, I remember this game! The marauders were always breaking rocks to hone their skills. This will be easy!
 	
Luvsan 	To be fair, you need not actually shatter the rocks to gather the moss, but it hastens the process and makes a somewhat dull process a little more entertaining, do you not think?
 	
Luvsan 	You wield your axe with great skill, khagan. May I have the shivermoss?
Luvsan 	Very good. Now, before my daughter returns, there is one other matter which I must discuss with you.
Luvsan 	She is a woman grown, and as her father I must think of her future. Of marriage.
Luvsan 	Alas, she has shown no interest in any warriors of the Qerel. At first I thought none suited her, but then I began to wonder...was her mind made up? Had she already chosen a suitor?
Luvsan 	Realizing this, I persuaded her to come with me to Eorzea. And now that we have met, I feel more certain than ever. Dorgono has fallen in love with a warrior of another land...
Luvsan 	...And I could not be happier for her. For who could disapprove of the champion who stood against the Chaghan?
Luvsan 	[Player Name], khagan of the Steppe, I will not oppose the union of you and Dorgono. I offer you my blessing.
Dorgono 	Hey! HEY! Who are you to decide such things for me!?
Dorgono 	I will not marry [Player Name]! I have already chosen a suitor, and it is not her/him!
Luvsan 	Oh! I see... I was so certain that... Ahem. So...who is this other...?
Dorgono 	We will not discuss this any further! We have the moss, now let us go and prepare for the ritual!
Luvsan 	Pray forgive me, khagan. I spoke out of turn. Dorgono is right─we should attend to the ritual and restore Broken Mountain to the warrior he was.
 	
Dorgono 	I'm so sorry he spoke to you like that. It is a bad habit of his, meddling in affairs that are not his concern...
Broken Mountain	I know not what sort of ritual this is. Do you? The traditions of the Qerel are a complete and utter mystery to me...
 	
Luvsan 	I have brewed an elixir using the moss. Drink it now.
Luvsan 	Very good. Your body is ready. You must now receive of the power of another great warrior. I can think of none more suitable than you, khagan.
Luvsan 	We must awaken the Karash within him once more. I bid you summon the strength of Father Azim and strike Broken Mountain with all your might!
Broken Mountain	You bid her/him what now!?
Luvsan 	All your might! Hold nothing back! Swing to kill! Anything less and he will be crippled worse or die!
 	
Luvsan 	Do not hesitate, khagan! Strike him down as you would your most hated enemy, else this treatment will end in failure.
Dorgono 	Do it, [Player Name]! Do it!
Broken Mountain	This seems like the exact opposite of what would benefit me...
 	
Broken Mountain	Ugh!
 	
Broken Mountain	Seven hells, what is this...this feeling I feel welling up from deep within? This fire, this passion...this rage!
Broken Mountain	The beast stirs again! Its power is mine! It fills me with strength, yet I remain in control! Huzzah!
Luvsan 	The strength never left you, my friend. The injury was not one of the flesh, but of the heart. Trickery of the mind, a deception of the self.
Luvsan 	The elixir served only to steel your flesh and dull the pain, so you could stand fast against the khagan's axe. You will not need it again, for the fear that held you hostage has fled.
Broken Mountain	I see... It was in my head all this time. It's no secret that fear can cripple a man worse than any wound, but I never thought... Gods, what a fool I've been.
Broken Mountain	Thank you so much for helping me to overcome my foolishness, Luvsan. You've made me a warrior again!
Luvsan 	Thank her/him, for a warrior of surpassing strength and power is indispensable for this ritual. No other could have served as well.
Dorgono 	Aye, for there is no greater warrior than [Player Name]!
Curious Gorge 	How could you, [Player Name]...? You and Dorgono, all this time... It all makes sense now. The letters, the silence. It was you...
Dorgono 	Curious Gorge, what is this nonsense you speak? What's gotten into you?
Curious Gorge 	Graaaghhh! Gaaarrrghhh!
Dorgono 	Oh no you don't, you stupid fool!
 	
Curious Gorge 	I am so sorry, everyone. When I went to the docks to find a ship bound for the Far East, I ran into some marauders who told me Dorgono and her father had come.
Curious Gorge 	So overcome by joy I began searching for them at once, but when I finally found you here, and saw how you looked on [Player Name] with such joy, all my earlier fears came rushing back, and the beast within me seized control...
Dorgono 	It had better not happen again! You're lucky I held back. Next time I won't!
Curious Gorge 	And Brother! Is it true that you have fully recovered? You are a warrior reborn? Congratulations! It is like a dream come true!
Broken Mountain	Indeed, Brother, indeed! At first I struggled to believe it, but it is as Luvsan says! I must go and join in the training sessions at once. And do not fear─the beast will not claim me again!
Curious Gorge 	I cannot thank you enough, Luvsan. It has been longer than I can remember since my brother smiled so. You've given us such a gift...
Luvsan 	It is the least I could do after all you have done for my daughter. Thank you for your kindness and your hospitality. Our time is short, however, and we must be on our way...
Dorgono 	Having said that... Dorgono. I am reminded that you are still young and want for experience. You are not yet a warrior fit to wed, and so I bid you continue to strengthen your body and mind here, in this land. It suits you, I think.
Dorgono 	Did you hear that? I can stay! We can even train together─I can show you all the techniques we Qerel use to hone our skills!
Curious Gorge 	Aye, but first I must teach you my methods! You must come with me to Hidden Falls, right this instant!
Curious Gorge 	You too, [Player Name]! I've a few final words I wish to say to you there.
 	
Curious Gorge 	I trust you understand what all this means, my friend. Now that my brother has taken up the axe again, the competition for the title of Eorzea's greatest warrior will be that much more intense!
Dorgono 	Don't forget I'm in the running too, you know!
Curious Gorge 	So keep at it, warrior, for the time will come when we challenge you again!
