Urianger 	Be thou assured that I am quite recovered. Lassi is truly a boon for unruly stomachs.
 	
Estinien 	Is it truly so amusing to see my hair bound? 'Tis how I used to wear it. A functional fashion.
Estinien 	Perhaps you were confused by how you found me following Nidhogg's demise. It had fallen loose after the chirurgeons removed me from my armor and put me to bed. I simply decided to leave it that way for a time, seeing as I would not don the Azure Dragoon's helm again.
 	
Thancred 	Right, let us split up and make inquiries in town. [Player Name], the pier is yours.
Thancred 	Once we have learned what we can, we regroup by the aetheryte...off-putting though the mere sight of it may be.
 	
Qefiraz 	Well now, if it isn't a traveler... You're a rare sight in these unsettled times.
Qefiraz 	People have been giving us a wide berth since that accursed tower suddenly appeared on Narunnair.
Qefiraz 	If it just stood there and loomed ominously, perhaps things would be fine after a fashion, but no─it had to spawn fell fiends as well.
Qefiraz 	We still have our lives thanks to the Radiant Host, but business is as good as dead. What'll become of us, only the gods know...
Qefiraz 	It's a shame not everyone's as brave as you. Or foolish.
Djinaleel 	What am I doing? Oh, recording my sales. Still do it daily out of habit, though I don't know why I bother. Hardly sell anything these days.
Djinaleel 	Business has never been this terrible...but I suppose things could be even worse. I could have a consortium to keep afloat, like Khalzahl.
Djinaleel 	I don't envy his position. Better to be alone with my little operation, I've come to realize.
Djinaleel 	You're a traveler, by the looks of you? If you have a moment, perhaps you could pay Khalzahl a visit. He'd be glad for tidings from abroad.
Djinaleel 	Like as not, you'll find him at the Saltwind's Sails, the harbor guild building across the water from here.
Djinaleel 	If times are tough for me, they must be a thousand times worse for Khalzahl. I can't help but worry for him.
 	
Portmanager04368	And what do you expect me to do?
 	
Khalzahl 	The Dalmascans aren't coming!? But we already have everything they ordered! What are we supposed to do with it?
Portmanager04368	I don't know, but yelling at me isn't going to help. All I know is that their plans have changed, and that's that.
Portmanager04368	Look, you must have known this might happen. The Empire is at war with itself, and the provinces are in chaos.
Portmanager04368	And then there's the tower sitting on our doorstep spitting out monstrosities.
Portmanager04368	The city has its defenses, but we've been afforded no protection out here. We can't blame foreigners for not wanting to take the risk.
Khalzahl 	Gah! But this will be an enormous loss!
Khalzahl 	All right, all right... Forget about the Dalmascans. Surely some ships are still coming?
Khalzahl 	We have fresh produce, handicrafts, medicines─all the perennial Hannish favorites.
Khalzahl 	Our consortium works closely with merchants and artisans to supply only the finest wares. Quality is guaranteed!
Portmanager04368	<sigh> I know all these things, Khalzahl, I do.
Portmanager04368	Which is why I regret to say I have nothing for you. All voyages have been canceled or indefinitely postponed.
Portmanager04368	And you are...?
Khalzahl 	Wait, you're a foreigner, are you not? A merchant!? Please tell me you're a merchant!
Khalzahl 	I see... That's a shame...
Khalzahl 	I'm sorry, but we're discussing important matters. If you need something, please talk to one of the others.
Matsya 	Um, excuse me...
Matsya 	M-My name is Matsya, and I'm here to see Khalzahl...
Matsya 	Oh, it seems he's busy. I'll come back later, then...
 	
Khalzahl 	If foreign vessels won't come to us, why not use our own to deliver the wares to them!?
 	
Portmanager04368	It's not so simple, Khalzahl. And besides, everyone is in the same boat. Everyone.
 	
Matsya 	Y-Yes? Can I help you...?
Matsya 	Ah, I remember seeing you back in the guild. You wanted to speak with Khalzahl, too, did you?
Matsya 	I'm Matsya, a fisherman of Akyaali─a nearby village.
Matsya 	I sell my catch to Khalzahl, who offers it to foreign merchants. But he hasn't bought anything for a while now.
Matsya 	When I heard that the consortium had been struggling, I became worried and decided to come and see him.
Matsya 	...Just as soon as he's free, anyway. He's a hardworking man, and I dare not disturb him.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
