When It Rains

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV added in patch 5.0.
==Journal==
* You learn from the manager of suites that Lakeland is under attack by a host of sin eaters, though he assures you that the Crystarium will remain secure. Nevertheless eager to help, you agree to check on citizens gathered at the Exedra in case any are in need of aid.
* The people of the Crystarium seem unaffected by the threat bearing down upon their city─by contrast to the recently returned Alisaie, who rightly finds the presence of sin eaters beneath the reclaimed sky rather unsettling. Any theories as to their provenance will have to wait, however, as Alphinaud arrives to inform you that several anchors around the city must be activated before the protective barrier that serves as its primary defense can take effect. This process is best completed sooner rather than later, so you and Alisaie agree to assist.
* After wending your way through the city, you find the first anchor on a bridge above the Rotunda. You pull down on its handle, and the glow it emits indicates that it is now active.
* You activate the second anchor, and moments later, a faceted barrier weaves its way up from the array of devices to shield the Crystarium─and rebuffs a full dozen sin eaters in the nick of time. The Leveilleur twins, having arrived to witness the scene with you, indicate that your next destination will be the battlefield in the Lakeland wilds, where Lyna and her people are already engaging the eater host.
* You take to the field with Alphinaud and Alisaie, and immediately set to aiding the beleaguered Crystarium troops, cutting down eater after eater as you make your way across Lakeland. Though your group is able to save many, you find yourself witness to death at every turn. You eventually encounter Y'shtola and Urianger, who join you in your rush to the Imperative, as well as Thancred and Minfilia, who split from your party in pursuit of a powerful eater.
* You reach the Ostall Imperative to find it beset by eaters, its defenders beleaguered and bleeding. After a pitched battle against manifold foes, you triumph, seizing an advantage that will make it possible for Crystarium forces to reclaim Lakeland and drive back any stragglers.
* After the battle is decided at last, you speak with Alisaie. She confirms that procedures for ensuring proper care of the wounded are already well underway. As for the other casualties...the Crystarium will likely long be mourning not only those lost to death, but to the sin eater horde as well.
==Objectives==
* Survey the Exedra.
* Activate the first anchor.
* Activate the second anchor.
* Speak with Alphinaud.
* Speak with Alisaie.

Guideofthependants	Ah, I suspected that you might be awake. I could scarce imagine you sleeping through such a commotion.
Guideofthependants	An entire host of sin eaters appears to be advancing upon the Crystarium. Emergency measures are being taken as we speak.
Guideofthependants	Rest assured, however, that we are safe so long as we remain under the Crystal Tower's aegis. You may return to your quarters, if you wish.
Guideofthependants	Yes, I thought you might feel that way. And I cannot say that your assistance would be anything less than welcome.
Guideofthependants	I must remain here to disseminate information to the other residents, but you are under no such obligation─and thus free to aid any of the townsfolk who may be in distress.
Guideofthependants	The Exedra tends to become a point of congregation in times of need, crowded with those seeking solace in companionship. You would have my personal gratitude if you would offer succor to those there.
 	
Alisaie 	[Player Name]!
Alisaie 	I've only just returned from Amh Araeng, yet I find the Crystarium moments from being beset by sin eaters!?
Alisaie 	Where are they coming from? This shouldn't be possible─we restored the darkness!
Alphinaud 	Well, this is a fortunate coincidence.
Alisaie 	Brother! Tell me you have some idea why this is happening.
Alphinaud 	I may─but for the moment we'll need to postpone such discussions in favor of action.
Alphinaud 	The Crystal Exarch is preparing to deploy a barrier around the Crystarium as we speak. Ensuring that he is able to do so should be our first concern.
Alphinaud 	There are a number of instruments placed about the Crystarium that function as anchors for the barrier. I'm on my way to activate them now.
Alisaie 	...In which case, three pairs of hands would be better than one? Very well. I'll take the ones to the south.
Alphinaud 	I shall deal with the northern apparatus, then. Will you handle the western two? They're ensconced on platforms extending from the upper level of the aetheryte plaza.
 	
Alisaie 	If Alphinaud is opting to act first and speak later, I don't doubt the urgency of the situation. Let's go.
 	
Alphinaud 	We ought to join the vanguard as soon as possible. If the number of eaters we just saw is any indication, we'll be facing a formidable host.
 	
Alisaie 	What lovely weather. Just what we needed.
Alphinaud 	It seems the battle has already begun in earnest. Make haste!
 	
Alphinaud 	It is as we feared.
Alphinaud 	But our task is as it ever was─turn the tide!
 	
Alphinaud 	Bear it just a moment longer...
 	
Urianger 	Thou must needs remain still.
 	
Yshtola 	Take a deep breath for me. That's it...
 	
Alisaie 	It seems we've driven them back─for the time being, at least.
Alisaie 	The wounded have been collected and are undergoing treatment now. Once they're ready to be moved, we'll have them carried back to the Crystarium.
Alisaie 	The dead as well, of course. Those whose bodies remain, anyway...
