Alphinaud 	Without that constant glare, Lakeland seems an entirely different place...
 	
Alisaie 	It's over, yes? I might need a moment...
 	
Lyna 	It's as if the sky itself had disappeared into the heavens... If I didn't have wounded to tend to, I'd never stop staring...
 	
Mysteryvoice 	Now, as for how we proceed from here...
Lyna 	The villagers we evacuated earlier have arrived safely in the Crystarium.
Lyna 	They seem to be accepting their situation for the moment─most folk are far too distracted by the sky to worry about wounds or lost homes.
Lyna 	They whisper and wonder if the Warrior of Darkness has come...
Mysteryvoice 	'Tis to be expected.
Mysteryvoice 	[Player Name], I must ask a favor of you. Would you be so kind as to conceal your involvement in this endeavor for the time being?
Mysteryvoice 	Seeing the Light recede from Lakeland is a momentous occasion, and many will be swept up in a maelstrom of excitement and confusion.
Mysteryvoice 	Should you come forth as the legendary Warrior of Darkness, I fear that, no matter how good your intentions, such an appearance would throw the city into disarray.
Alphinaud 	I find myself in agreement with the Exarch, although my concerns are more focused on Eulmore.
Alphinaud 	It may be best if you maintain a low profile until we see how Vauthry responds to all of this.
Mysteryvoice 	My thanks. Though we cannot freely celebrate your success, pray allow your heart to be buoyed by the joy of our citizens─a joy you surely brought into being.
Mysteryvoice 	Ah, and I must ask the same discretion of you, Captain. 'Tis my intention to share with our people the tale of a great warrior who stood in defiance of the sin eaters. This unnamed champion defeated the Lightwarden, and has since departed for parts unknown, yes?
Lyna 	As you wish, my lord. Your penchant for mystery is nothing new, and I will encourage folk not to question this either.
Lyna 	...Although I expect to be told the whole truth of it one day. About all of you.
Mysteryvoice 	With that settled, I shall return to the Crystarium and make an address to the people.
Mysteryvoice 	These explanations and adjustments will consume much of my time, so pray take the opportunity to rest and recover from your exploits. And to think, you'll not even need to shutter the windows to enjoy a dark and peaceful night's sleep!
Lyna 	I must stay behind and coordinate the evacuation of the remaining survivors.
Lyna 	And I hesitate to ask after all you've done here today, but could I ask you to pass on a message on your way to the Pendants?
Lyna 	Please let Bragi know that we're bringing in a number of injured, and that any restoratives in the markets need to be reserved for the infirmary.
Alphinaud 	We should start making our own way back to the Crystarium─slowly, mind you. It wouldn't do to arrive too soon after the Exarch.
Alisaie 	I'm staying behind as well. I... There's something I need to check on in Holminster.
Alphinaud 	We already went through the village top to bottom, Alisaie. We should all take the chance to rest, you included.
Alisaie 	I knew one of those eaters, and I can't just... I can't rest, not now.
Alisaie 	So please, I wish to be left alone for a while. And that means you as well, [Player Name]─I shall be cross if you try to follow me!
Alisaie 	I promise to find you later, when I feel myself again.
Alphinaud 	Hm, just you and me, then. Shall we?
Lyna 	I'd be grateful if you could pass that message on to Bragi. He should be standing in his usual spot in the markets.
Mysteryvoice 	Not to worry, [Player Name]─I've given my address to the citizens, and soothed their most immediate fears.
Mysteryvoice 	Your only concern for the moment is recuperating from your victory.
 	
Alphinaud 	Well, the Crystarium seems relatively ordered, wouldn't you say? The Exarch's speech must have been reassuring to hear.
Alphinaud 	On the contrary, there is something jubilant in the air─I have a feeling this night won't be quite as “peaceful” as our hooded friend predicted!
Alphinaud 	I think I shall take a brief stroll around town before retiring to my chambers. Once you've discharged your duty to Bragi, I suggest you do the same.
Alphinaud 	Sleep well, [Player Name]. I hope untroubled dreams find you and Alisaie both.
 	
Bragi 	Aye, what can I do for you? Looking to buy a lantern, like every other stumbling soul in the city?
Bragi 	...I see. Well Captain Lyna can rest assured that any potions I spot coming in will be set aside for the wounded.
Bragi 	Hang on a moment, if you're carrying messages for the guard, does that mean you were there, then? The battle at Holminster?
Bragi 	A stalwart lass/lad like you might want to pay a visit to the Wandering Stairs, make herself/himself known...
Bragi 	I'm sure Glynard can introduce you to some interesting opportunities.
 	
Bragi 	The Wandering Stairs? It's just a short wander up the stairs there, thus the name. Rowdy crowd in attendance this evening/today/today/this evening, if that noise is aught to judge by.
 	
Granson 	I need to find me someone with a damn spine...
 	
Luereeq 	I might be able to take Andreia alone, but why take the chance? Never hurts to have someone watching your back when eaters are involved...
 	
Giott 	<gulp> <gulp> <gulp> <burp> Where's that wine I ordered? Do they mean to make me idle here without a drink in hand?
 	
Cerigg 	Ah, Phronesis, what am I to do? I've not the talents to counter your tricks, but if I could enlist the aid of a seasoned mage...
 	
Glynard 	Cyella, more beer for table two! And a couple of pints of mead for table three, while you're at it!
Cyella 	Coming right up!
Glynard 	Sorry, we're rushed off our feet this evening/today/today/this evening, miss/sir. Can I get you anything? Drinks are on the house!
Glynard 	Hm? Oh, that Bragi has a twisted sense of humor...
Glynard 	Gahahaha! To think he'd send you to me at a time like this!
Glynard 	The first real “night” in near a hundred years has folk all riled up and then some!
Glynard 	What's more, there was that eater business at Holminster Switch. They say a Lightwarden was destroyed without a damn trace, and it was the Warrior of Darkness who did the deed!
Cyella 	I really must apologize for Glynard─he's been almost as rowdy as our customers, and that's no small feat.
Cyella 	A lot of our regulars are bounty hunters, you see. They mostly go after eaters, and the rumor of the Warrior's appearance was the spark to their kindling.
Glynard 	You know how the weak eaters are drawn to the strong ones, right?
Glynard 	Aye, they swarm like angry bees around a queen. You need look no further than Holminster for proof of that. But attacks on that scale don't happen every day, praise the blessed shadow.
Glynard 	No, the more common threats are the strays. No one knows why, but every now and again, an eater will leave the pack to prowl alone. Those are the ones you run into on the road if your luck is foul.
Glynard 	They're a danger to everyone, so the Settlement council puts bounties on their heads. And our bar here is a convenient place for hunters to gather and share information.
Cyella 	Seems a few of them were inspired by the Warden-slaying even more than most. These are the types who have their sights set on the absolute worst of the strays─a class of eaters that've been dubbed the “Cardinal Virtues.”
Cyella 	The Virtues showed up out of nowhere about three summers ago, and when historians heard the descriptions given by survivors, well...apparently they share an appearance with the villains who caused the Flood.
Cyella 	And if that doesn't send a chill down your spine, they're also reported to be as tough as Lightwardens─not the kind of prey you can take down single-handed.
Cyella 	Our Virtue-hunters had all but given up, but knowing the Warrior of Darkness is out there has lit a fire in their bellies. Just look at them...
Cyella 	That Hume over there with the oversized sword is Granson. He's in it for revenge. Wants to recruit a comrade-in-arms as tenacious as he is.
Cyella 	The Mystel lad is Lue-Reeq. Don't be fooled by those dewy cheeks─he's as hard a hunter as they come. He just lost a partner, and seems to be on the lookout for a new one...
Cyella 	That's Cerigg. Word is he seeks an expert in magecraft to help fight the Virtue he's after.
Cyella 	Last we have Giott, dwarf and drunkard both. Wanted to join forces with a healer, and only a healer. Something about needing a “mender's wisdom”...?
Cyella 	I've seen my share of competent veterans, and you have that look about you. Maybe you should introduce yourself to one of our hunters. Who knows? Together you might even collect the bounty on a Cardinal Virtue!
Glynard 	Now there's a grand idea. Imagine the prestige my bar would earn if we boasted the patronage of a successful Virtue-hunter!
 	
Glynard 	My regulars have their quirks─some more than others─but it's odd how folk can grow on you. Spend enough time with them, and you might become a regular yourself. Always happy to welcome a new addition to the family!
 	
Cyella 	Come again whenever you like, our doors are always open...or they would be, if we had any.
 	
Guideofthependants	Welcome back, miss/sir.
Guideofthependants	I wonder if anyone can sleep with the city in such an uproar, but will you be retiring to your quarters?
Guideofthependants	Very good. In light─ahem─of the present situation, I have had illumination prepared for all our rooms. No need to rush to the markets for lanterns or candles. Have a pleasant rest, miss/sir.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
