Thancred 	A declaration of hopes and aspirations... I hadn't thought of it that way before.
Thancred 	The Loporrits may be in good hands now, but that doesn't change the fact that their plan is a last resort I'd rather not employ.
Thancred 	Let's see it doesn't come to that. For the First and all the other reflections.
 	
Urianger 	I need not remind you of the dangers we face, nor the countless lives at stake both in the Source and its reflections. Go with courage, my friend, and pray give the others my regards.
 	
Watcherofmoon 	F20223I chanced to spy you crossing the chasm, and I feared something was amiss.01
Watcherofmoon 	F20223But all is well, and more importantly, I have been given the opportunity to behold a wonderful sight.01
Watcherofmoon 	F20223Keep the Elpis close, and its light will be your guide.01
 	
Mappingway 	There is little I can do to help stop the Final Days, but should you need to traverse the stars, look no further!
Mappingway 	Such knowledge I can offer in abundance, so do not hesitate if you find yourself in need.
 	
Singingway 	The others will be so happy to hear Urianger is going to stay and teach us all about Etheirys.
Singingway 	We'll have to be careful not to get too distracted by his lessons─there's still maintenance to carry out, after all.
 	
Puddingway 	Nice to meet you... Name's Puddingway.
Puddingway 	Sorry again for all the trouble... We promise we'll do better. Honest.
 	
Livingway 	Well, that was all rather embarrassing, wasn't it? At least we're on the same page now─people and Etheirys. We'll save both, or at least give it a good try.
 	
Livingway 	Oh, we'll be all ears. And you know we can be!
Livingway 	I will. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it.
Livingway 	Well, it's not as if we've been waiting twelve thousand years to meet the people of Etheirys. Oh wait, we have! But that's neither here nor there. Under Urianger's tutelage, we'll strive to become more hospitable hosts, and see that the moon is fully equipped to meet the needs of its potential passengers.
 	
Yshtola 	With the Loporrits in Urianger's capable hands, we needn't worry about affairs here in our absence.
Yshtola 	Knowing now the face of their “earthly collaborators,” there is much to discuss with Alphinaud and the others.
Yshtola 	Let us return to the Tower of Babil. Our battle for the star will soon begin in earnest, and we must be prepared.
 	
Yshtola 	I'd forgotten how cold it was here in Garlemald. A testament to the Loporrits' ingenuity that I felt no such discomfort on the moon.
 	
Thancred 	Gods, I can scarcely believe we went to the moon and back...
Thancred 	But we'll have time to reflect on that later. Right now, we need to head back to Camp Broken Glass and deliver a thoroughly detailed report to Lucia.
Thancred 	I'd like very much to know how everyone is getting on here as well. They'd only just begun to treat the tempered prisoners when we left.
Yshtola 	I share your curiosity, but warning our allies of the Final Days is of greater importance.
Yshtola 	I speak not only of the contingent, of course. The heads of state of every nation must know what we have learned.
Yshtola 	We know not when or where or in what manner the Final Days will begin to manifest, and so we must see that everyone is prepared.
Thancred 	Agreed, though we may wish to stress the importance of discretion, lest the public be sent into a panic. Not that anyone in a position of responsibility should need to be told as much, but it bears repeating.
Thancred 	Anyway, first things first. To Camp Broken Glass.
 	
Maxima 	[Player Name]? At last, you are returned!
 	
Lucia 	It's good to see you all again. No worse for your lunar adventure, I hope.
Thancred 	We've done what we can for now, and believe me, we intend to tell you all about it.
Thancred 	But before we do, might you tell us what's become of Garlemald in our absence?
Lucia 	We succeeded in subduing the tempered inside the Tower of Babil. We took many alive, but combined with those who were already in our custody, the number requiring care has grown exponentially.
Lucia 	The inclement conditions here have made it difficult─if not impossible─to treat them all here, and so we have petitioned the aid of the allied nations.
Lucia 	Some are, understandably, hesitant to proffer assistance, particularly those that were but recently subject to imperial occupation. That said, several others have agreed to grant them refuge for treatment.
Lucia 	With the assistance of your fellow Scions, we endeavor to see them safely transported and subsequently cured of their tempering.
Yshtola 	Will all the tempered be relocated?
Lucia 	Not all, no. We have sufficient shelter to attend to those whose treatment has begun, and enough healers have volunteered to remain until their patients have recovered.
Lucia 	Jullus is one such patient, though he is not yet fit to receive visitors.
Lucia 	Truth be told, it was a miracle he and those in his company were not harmed in the chaos. If not for Alphinaud and Alisaie's timely assistance, I daresay none of them would be with us today.
Thancred 	In light of recent developments, have the Alliance leaders come to any decisions regarding Garlemald?
Lucia 	Given the tremendous ramifications of what has happened here, it will take time to determine what must be done. In the meantime, they intend to work with the Eastern alliance to keep a close watch over the provinces.
Lucia 	We have other news to share: shortly after Anima was defeated, we received reports that each and every tower has vanished.
Lucia 	For a mercy, the process was apparently not quite as violent as that you experienced in Thavnair. Those who were trapped within them have been rescued and are receiving treatment. To hasten this endeavor, the beast tribes have received instruction in the magicks needed to cure tempering.
Yshtola 	Master Matoya is no doubt thrilled the mother porxie affords her so many visitors.
Lucia 	Yes, we are grateful for her ongoing efforts, as well of those of our comrades near and far.
Lucia 	As for the contingent, several of our members have been granted leave to return to their homelands after the transfer of tempered has been completed.
Maxima 	Lucia and I will remain, along with a small force to continue offering aid to those here in Garlemald.
Maxima 	The Empire may be no more, but there are yet those who call these lands home.
Lucia 	I believe that accounts for recent events here. So─what of the moon and the Telophoroi?
Lucia 	The Final Days... Gods, I prayed your victory would mark the end of our troubles.
Yshtola 	There is still much we do not know, but the Alliance leaders must be told. Would you be willing to contact them in our stead?
Lucia 	Yes, of course. I will send word forthwith.
Lucia 	We'll also release your fellow Scions from their present duties, that they may return to Sharlayan.
Lucia 	Your energies are better spent finding a means to avert the coming apocalypse.
Maxima 	Speaking of your fellow Scions, you will be happy to hear that Mistress Krile, though still on the mend, has been moved to the Baldesion Annex and given into Tataru's care.
Yshtola 	Thank you. I look forward to seeing them both upon our return.
Thancred 	Let us be on our way, then.
Maxima 	One last thing, if I may.
Maxima 	After your confrontation with Zodiark, you said Zenos took his leave, and in all likelihood he has returned here to Garlemald.
Maxima 	I have a mind to dispatch scouts to try and ascertain his whereabouts, but first wished to ask if you believe there is merit in doing so.
 	
Maxima 	<sigh> I suppose you're right...
Maxima 	To dispatch good soldiers in pursuit of such a beast...would be to send them to their deaths.
Maxima 	Aye. You are the only foe he considers worthy.
Maxima 	And even if my men found him, who but you could even hope to bring low that monster?
Maxima 	Mayhap you're right...
Maxima 	And I suppose if anyone is to hunt him down, it must be you. Who else could even hope to bring low that monster?
Maxima 	Pray forget I entertained the notion.
Maxima 	While on the subject of Zenos, the Xth Legion has made an official proclamation.
Maxima 	They denounce the crown prince and condemn his role in the Empire's downfall.
Maxima 	His very title has become a source of shame among his former subjects, and its continued use serves only to hinder relations with foreign nations.
Maxima 	For this reason, he has been declared as Zenos viator Galvus, outcast and enemy of Garlemald.
Yshtola 	Fandaniel is no more, and now his own people turn against him. It seems he's naught but his bloodlust to keep him company.
Maxima 	Better that than an army to see it sated. At any rate, I will not keep you longer. I pray you safe passage back to Sharlayan.
 	
Lucia 	Your findings will be relayed to the Alliance leaders word for word. And should we spy anything out of the ordinary here in Garlemald, all shall be informed at once.
 	
Maxima 	Once my countrymen have recovered, it falls to me to tell them what's become of Zenos and the Empire.
Maxima 	I realize there is no kindness in withholding the truth, but...it will wound them.
 	
Tataru 	Oh, it's so good to see you! And free from chilblains, I take it?
Tataru 	You'll be pleased to know everything's been kept in order since you've been away. I even brought a few useful knickknacks with me from back home.
Tataru 	But no sooner had they arrived than I received word of Krile in poor health, and you on the moon! If you meant to give me a fright, you succeeded.
 	
Krile 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. We were so terribly worried about you.
Krile 	Though it is plain I have caused my own fair share of worry, and for that, I apologize.
Krile 	Hydaelyn called to me that day when you entered the Tower of Babil. Her pleas were faint but desperate, and I knew at once She required a vessel to carry out Her will.
Krile 	What came after feels like a dream barely remembered. My body flowing through the Lifestream toward Garlemald...
Krile 	When I regained consciousness, I was all aches and frostbite, exhausted of aether. So exhausted, in fact, I could only laugh, for it was in that moment I understood Raha's weariness from the Tower of Zot.
Krile 	Would that I could laugh at a time like this. Though we prevented Zodiark from being unleashed upon the world, I am curious to know what else took place there on the moon...
Krile 	Ah, perhaps we should wait for the others to join us before you give your account.
Krile 	Let us reconvene in the main hall once they've arrived.
 	
Krile 	For a blessing, I've recovered enough to get out of bed. Even if I hadn't, I could not well miss you recount your exploits on the moon.
 	
Alisaie 	Sorry to have kept you all waiting.
Yshtola 	Not at all. We understand you've been quite busy.
Krile 	Will Urianger be joining us?
Thancred 	Duty keeps him away, I'm afraid, though [Player Name] can explain why better than I.
Alphinaud 	The Final Days...as befell Amaurot.
Grahatia 	And we are to escape via the moon? What of the Source and its reflections?
Estinien 	I've no intention of standing by while the world falls to ruin.
Estinien 	So, how do we stop this?
Yshtola 	Unfortunately, we have no answers at present.
Yshtola 	If the celestial currents have grown stagnant, as was the case in the time of Amaurot, the solution would be to alter the flow of aether throughout the entirety of the star.
Yshtola 	The ancients accomplished this by summoning Zodiark, sacrificing half the star's population in the doing. But it should go without saying that such a sacrifice must not─cannot─be repeated.
Yshtola 	Which leaves us with the daunting task of identifying the underlying catalyst for the Final Days, a feat which even the Amaurotines could not accomplish.
Yshtola 	Unfortunately, we found no clues in Mare Lamentorum.
Alphinaud 	There is still much we do not know about the catastrophe itself, let alone what may have caused it.
Alphinaud 	The Final Days were marked by the corruption of the Amaurotines' creation magicks, but we command no such power. Which invites the question: what havoc is in store for us?
Alphinaud 	If we knew that much, perhaps we could draw some parallel with the events of the past, and thereby form some semblance of a plan.
Yshtola 	Perhaps we should start with the Forum, then. Having worked with the Loporrits in secret all this time, there is surely more they can tell us.
Tataru 	Forgive the interruption, but I've urgent news!
Tataru 	The Forum is holding a public assembly in the plaza outside. Some sort of announcement!
Alisaie 	What is Father up to now?
Krile 	There's only one way to find out.
 	
Ojika Tsunjika 	Krile tells me the Forum made a rather momentous announcement. So there's to be a great exodus, is there?
Ojika Tsunjika 	I'm reminded of my narrow escape from the Isle of Val. The realization, the running, the mixture of relief and regret after. “Why me?” I asked myself. “Why me?”
Ojika Tsunjika 	Why us? Why now? Why wonder─there's no use fretting over the cosmic morality or lack thereof. We're here, and we'll get through this together. And who knows, maybe my luck will rub off and grant everyone a narrow escape. There's no harm in praying for as much.
Ojika Tsunjika 	Oh, but enough of my rambling─I'm sure you're exhausted. Your chamber awaits!
