A Home in the Firmament

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* You learn from Foncrineau and Augebert that no few Ishgardians are proving resistant to the idea of moving to the Firmament. Likely on account of this, Francel is late to return from his efforts to bring people to the new district, and you are tasked with tracking the young lord down in the Brume.
* You find Francel struggling to convince citizens to move to the Firmament. With some well-chosen words, however, you help him to secure two new residents─a woman named Audaine and her daughter, Noalle. Having witnessed firsthand the trust people harbor for you, Francel begs for your continued assistance in running the fledgling district.
* You agree to assist Francel, who expresses his profound gratitude. Without further ado, he tasks you with delivering three missives, which he explains are entreaties for cooperation in the restoration effort. The recipients are Gibrillont, the proprietor of the Forgotten Knight; Ser Handeloup, second commander of the Temple Knights; and Elaisse, the master of the Ishgardian markets.
* You have delivered the missives and received positive responses from all three recipients; Gibrillont is happy to provide meals, Ser Handeloup will speak in favor of dispatching the Temple Knights' engineers, and Elaisse will personally work to procure the heavy machinery sought. Your task accomplished, you head to the Firmament to report to Francel.
* You arrive in the Mendicant's Court and rejoin Francel, who is eager to learn how the three recipients responded to his entreaties.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Francel in the Brume.
* Speak with Francel again.
* Deliver Francel's missive to Gibrillont.
* Deliver Francel's missive to Handeloup.
* Deliver Francel's missive to Elaisse.
* Report to Francel in the Firmament.

Foncrineau 	Ah, if it isn't good Mistress/Master [Player Name].
Foncrineau 	Though you may have seen me attending Lord Francel, I've not had the pleasure of introducing myself. I am his manservant, Foncrineau.
Foncrineau 	I would like to offer you my personal thanks for lending your aid to my lord. Yours is an inspiring presence to him.
Foncrineau 	Owing to the collective effort of all involved, the New Nest stands completed. Such was my lord's joy, 'twas as if he were a young boy again.
Foncrineau 	He now seeks to settle folk in the district, and is personally reaching out to those citizens who were displaced by the war and the subsequent unrest.
Augebert 	Ahem. About that...
Foncrineau 	Master Augebert. By your tone, I take it you harbor some concerns.
Augebert 	Aye, that I do. Thanks to Francel's encouragement, some folk have already moved into the district, but many more are draggin' their feet.
Augebert 	To hear the talk, they're afraid that the rent will be too expensive, or that they'll put themselves at the mercy of heartless nobles, and a whole host of other reasons.
Foncrineau 	In order to encourage settlement, the Firmament offers various incentives to residents, such as tax relief and employment initiatives. Mayhap this knowledge has not been sufficiently disseminated to the public.
Augebert 	My thought exactly. That he's late to return is because he's strugglin' to win folk over, I'd wager.
Augebert 	On that note, [Player Name], I was wonderin' if you'd mind searchin' for him, see how he's farin'.
Foncrineau 	I too would be grateful were you to look in on my lord. You will find him in the Brume speaking with the residents, I believe.
 	
Foncrineau 	Please find my lord and see how he fares. You will find him in the Brume speaking with the residents.
 	
Francel 	Will you not tell me why you do not wish to live in the Firmament? What is it that worries you so?
Francel 	Ah, [Player Name]! You could not have come at a better time!
Francel 	You may have heard that I am in the process of settling citizens in the Firmament.
Francel 	While some could not pack their belongings quickly enough, others are proving resistant to the idea, such as Audaine here and her daughter, Noalle.
Audaine 	Begging your pardons, but aren't you the savior of Ishgard? It's an honor, milady/lord!
Audaine 	We're grateful for the invitation, we truly are, but we couldn't possibly afford to live in a shiny new district. Even before our home in the Brume was burned down, we were barely getting by.
Audaine 	Besides...given who we are, we don't have the right...
Francel 	In my mind, the Firmament is for people such as they first and foremost, who lost their homes to the fires of conflict. Yet if they themselves do not wish it, I cannot well force them to move.
Audaine 	Truly? If that's the case, perhaps it's not out of the question for us.
Audaine 	Perhaps I should do it... Yes, if not for myself, then for my little girl. All right, I humbly accept!
Francel 	Glad am I to hear it! Pray see to your preparations, then, and come to the Firmament when you are ready.
Francel 	And all it took was a few words from you. You truly hold sway over people, my friend.
Francel 	Of course, such trust comes not overnight. 'Tis the product of your many selfless deeds.
Francel 	Despite being falsely accused of a crime and driven to the ends of the realm, you did not surrender to despair. On the contrary, you dedicated yourself to the plight of others, and ultimately guided our war-weary nation upon the path to peace.
Francel 	In some ways we have walked similar paths, but my struggles are trifling things compared to yours. My name carries not the same weight, and my words have not the same power over the hearts of my fellow men.
Francel 	But the Fury take me if I allow the restoration effort to founder on account of my personal failings. The health and happiness of the people are at stake.
Francel 	Therefore, I ask you...will you not aid me in the running of the Firmament? With you beside me, I feel that there is no difficulty I cannot overcome.
Francel 	You needn't answer right this moment. Please take the time to think on it.
 	
Francel 	You...agree to aid me, then? Ah, words cannot well express my gladness! Thank you!
Francel 	Without further ado, then, I would have you deliver these missives. They are entreaties for cooperation in the restoration effort.
Francel 	Ordinarily, I would make the delivery myself, but I believe that the recipients would be pleased for your visit.
Francel 	One is Gibrillont, proprietor of the Forgotten Knight, another is Ser Handeloup of the Temple Knights, and last but not least is Mistress Elaisse, our master of the markets.
Francel 	While you see to this task, I shall look in on Audaine and her daughter. Let us convene in the Firmament afterwards.
 	
Francel 	Ah, [Player Name]. In case you were wondering how Audaine and her daughter are faring, they have just this moment completed the necessary paperwork. All is in order.
 	
Foncrineau 	My thanks for taking the time to seek out my lord.
 	
Gibrillont 	If it isn't [Player Name]. What can I get you?
Gibrillont 	A missive from young Francel? I can only guess how you ended up delivering it, but let's have a look...
 	
Gibrillont 	Young Francel was always good to me back when I served his house, and I wouldn't refuse him. I'll arrange to have the meals prepared and sent to the Firmament at once.
Gibrillont 	You're involved in the restoration, then, I take it. Keep an eye out on the lad for me, will you?
Handeloup 	Well met, [Player Name]. To what do I owe the honor this day?
Handeloup 	A missive from Lord Francel, you say?
 	
Handeloup 	I see. Though I have not the authority alone to decide, I for one should be glad were our order to lend what help we may. I shall do my utmost to see that Lord Francel has his engineers.
Handeloup 	Truth to tell, I have a personal interest in the Firmament. Ere it was razed to the ground, I myself lived there, you see. Many places in Ishgard offer a commanding view, but I find none finer than that of my erstwhile home.
Elaisse 	A warm welcome to you, Mistress/Master [Player Name]. What is it that you seek at the Jeweled Crozier this [time of day]?
Elaisse 	Oh? A missive for me, from Lord Francel? Intriguing...
 	
Elaisse 	Heavy machinery of foreign make... Though it will be no small coup to source such items, the merchant in me welcomes the challenge.
Elaisse 	But I say, it feels like only yesterday that Lord Francel was a little boy coming to market with his brothers. Now he has blossomed into a well-spoken, accomplished young man. Time surely flies...
Elaisse 	Ah, forgive me my reminiscence. You may relay to my lord it shall be my pleasure to attend to his order.
 	
Gibrillont 	You can tell Francel I'll pay him a visit soon.
 	
Handeloup 	As I mentioned, I have not the authority alone to decide, but I will do my utmost to see that Lord Francel has his engineers.
 	
Elaisse 	You may relay to Lord Francel it shall be my pleasure to attend to his order.
 	
Francel 	There you are, [Player Name]. You have delivered the missives, I take it? So...how did the recipients respond to my entreaties?
