Preserving the Future

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
==Journal==
* At the Drowning Wench, Nananji expresses his desire to know what motivated Louisoix to go so far as to sacrifice himself for a land not his own. If he had people near him in his final moments, the writer muses, they may be able to provide some insights─and by a fortuitous turn, Baderon, who chances to overhear your conversation, happens to know an individual who served among the Archon's guard at Carteneau. Known by the name of Orn Guincum, this former officer of the Maelstrom has since turned to adventuring, and there is a possibility he is presently at the Moraby Drydocks. Upon learning of this, Nananji immediately sets off, eager not to miss the opportunity to speak with the man.※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.
* Upon arriving at the Drydocks, Nananji proposes splitting up to make inquiries after Orn. Hopefully, someone in the area can lead you to him.
* Piecing together the information from the locals, you believe you know where Orn may be found. Armed with the knowledge, you go to rejoin Nananji.
* You share with Nananji your finding that Orn may have bought a Nymeia lily, and thence took himself to the mark of the Spinner nearby. Wasting no time, the two of you hurry to the area.
* At the end of your search, you and Nananji come face-to-face with Orn Guincum. Recognizing you as the hero of Operation Archon, the man agrees to tell you his tale, and in grim tones recounts Louisoix's final moments. Even when Bahamut had broken free and all hells loose, he and his fellow guards were determined to stay at the Archon's side to the bitter end. Their charge, however, had beseeched them not to sacrifice themselves here, but to live and bear the light for others to follow. “Every soul who lives to determine their own fate is a source of hope”─with these words ringing in his mind, Nananji is reaffirmed in his belief that Louisoix was not an all-powerful savior one reads about in tales, but merely an ordinary man. Yet that man never forsook Eorzea, and stood for this realm to the last that all might know a brighter future. In this way, the budding writer has found not only an angle for Louisoix's biography, but newfound determination to tell the great man's tale.
* In response to Nananji's thanks, Orn offers thanks of his own for being afforded the chance to share Louisoix's words. The erstwhile lieutenant then takes his leave and wishes you well on your travels. Having seen the man off, Nananji suggests returning to Ul'dah, where he would present you with your reward.
* Speaking in front of the Hall of Flames, Nananji expresses his gratitude at being able to hear the accounts of those who lived the Calamity. He also declares that he has attained a measure of closure, having realized through his inquiries that Louisoix had fought with his all as simply another defender of the realm. Though much work remains to be done, Nananji promises that he will not rest until the biography goes to print, and you look forward to the day every man, woman, and child may know the tale of the great Archon.
