Tell Me a Story

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* In exchange for the metal alloy, the House of Splendors has asked for two sets of freshly penned memoirs. They went on to say these tales of heated battle should be based on encounters in Bozja or, failing that, those of an otherworldly nature. There is a pained look in Zlatan's eyes as he tells you they have asked for thirty volumes of each. And so he bids you safe travels as you set off to the battlefield in search of inspiration for your writings.
※Memoirs can be obtained by participating in skirmishes and critical engagements in Zadnor, as well as any of the normal Omega 8-man raids. The Undersized Party option cannot be enabled when clearing the aforementioned duties.
* You return with the requested memoirs, an arduous labor of blood, sweat, and ink. Regana's associates are thrilled to have completed the transaction, but apparently more so to meet Gerolt. They shower him with compliments, followed by a proposal for a wholesale contract for additional shipments of metal alloy. You quickly interject before he has the chance to accept, prompting the attendants to take their leave. Though no new contracts were signed, you are one step closer to a more powerful Resistance weapon.
==Objectives==
* Deliver the copies of A Day in the Life: Battles for the Realm and A Day in the Life: Beyond the Rift to Zlatan at Gangos.

Zlatan 	If you are up to the task, Blade [Player Name], I thought we might tend to the metal alloy required for the Resistance weapons' refinement.
Zlatan 	I say “we,” but I fear there is little I can do to help with this particular request from the House of Splendors.
Zlatan 	For some reason, they have requested memoirs of battle in return for their services. They were quite adamant that said memoirs are of fierce battles far more harrowing than anything I myself have experienced.
Zlatan 	What's more, they went on to say these writings should be based on battles here in Bozja, or battles of an “otherworldly nature.” My apologies, Blade [Player Name], but they have asked for thirty freshly penned volumes of each.
 	
Zlatan 	I can scarcely imagine what manner of harrowing tales you intend to pen, but I have every confidence the House of Splendors will be pleased.
 	
Zlatan 	Ah, you are returned. Regana's attendants arrived with a shipment of alloy not long ago. May I presume you found ample inspiration for your memoirs?
 	
Eschina 	...Twenty-nine. Thirty. Everything is accounted for. Here is your alloy, as promised.
Zlatan 	A pleasure to do business with you. Though...may I ask why the House of Splendors sent two representatives for this transaction?
Eschina 	Considering the difficulties likely involved in penning these memoirs, we thought it best to leave nothing to chance with this particular shipment. In any case, sixty volumes of anything is rather a lot, so we decided to share the load.
Enna 	Though there was one other reason we both elected to come...
Enna 	Those chiseled muscles. That rugged jawline... You must be Gerolt, the world-renowned blacksmith. I've heard many a tale of the wonders borne from your forge.
Eschina 	Aye, a master smith whose striking good looks are matched only by his incomparable business acumen. In fact, we wish to make you a proposition─an exclusive contract for wholesale shipments of our alloy. If anyone can realize the potential of this king amongst metals, it would be the illustrious Gerolt Blackthorn.
Gerolt 	Well, it's nice to see someone finally recognizes me talent for what it is. And yer absolutely right─I'm sure I could find a use for more o' this here alloy. Mayhap a new line o' kettles, or...
 	
Gerolt 	B-But...ye know damn well waxin' poetic ain't me strong suit, and what if Rowena found out I'm the one what wrote 'em?
...Fine. If that's the way you want to be about it, I guess we'll have to decline the offer.
 	
Gerolt 	Oi, let's not bring Rowena into this! <sigh> You're right... It's only a matter o' time before she weasels more clauses an' loopholes into the contract... She'd have me over a barrel before I know it.
Eschina 	So Rowena has you wrapped about her finger, does she? What a pity.
Enna 	We'd hoped you might be interested in a little “something on the side,” but it seems she's got you all to herself.
Enna 	Well, you can't say we didn't try. Perhaps you should keep to the straight and narrow?
 	
Regana 	And perhaps you should be running along?
Eschina 	As you wish. We'll be back again when the Resistance has need of our services. Until then, Regana...
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
