Honoring Family

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Believing he has sufficiently recovered from his rigorous training session, M'zhet Tia prepares to go to the Peering Stones to confront M'rahz Nunh. He asks that you accompany him to bear witness to his victory.
* M'rahz Nunh agrees to duel. However, he insists on moving the battle to a ravine southeast of the Peering Stones. M'zhet consents and takes his leave of the camp. Follow him to the ravine and wait for the fight to begin.
* It seems M'rahz Nunh has come not to fight, but to talk. As he tells it, M'zhet Tia's father left the village of his own volition, staying close by to keep watch over his former tribe. When a herd of ravenous monsters came stampeding toward the Peering Stones, he sacrificed himself to stop the herd, leaving his son in the Ananta's care. The weight of this revelation has left M'zhet Tia bereft of the resolve to fight. What will he do now?
* Knowing of his father's selfless sacrifice has inspired M'zhet Tia. He soon makes for the Peering Stones to speak with M'rahz Nunh.
* M'zhet Tia wishes to rejoin the M tribe to someday carry on in his father's footsteps. Should he become nunh someday, he plans to once again challenge the friend and mentor who helped to reunite him with his people.
==Objectives==
* Speak with M'rahz Nunh.
* Wait for M'rahz Nunh at the designated location.
* Speak with M'zhet Tia.
* Speak with M'rahz Nunh.

M'zhet Tia 	Those grenades took a toll on me, but I'm feeling much better. My ribs have taken on an unusual shade of purple, but I bet that means the training's working.
M'zhet Tia 	I couldn't have come this far without you, though. It's only proper that I ask you come and see me finally take down M'rahz. What do you say?
M'zhet Tia 	Thanks. You don't know how much this means to me.
M'zhet Tia 	Let's head to the Peering Stones, then. M'rahz won't know what hit him!
 	
M'rahz Nunh 	M'zhet. Have you come to challenge me once more for the title of nunh?
M'zhet Tia 	I have. And this time I will defeat you!
M'rahz Nunh 	Very well. Let us reconvene at the valley to the southeast.
M'zhet Tia 	Reconvene? Are you afraid I'll shame you here in front of your people?
M'zhet Tia 	No matter. Well, it looks like we're heading to the valley.
M'zhet Tia 	deleted
 	
M'zhet Tia 	There you are. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show. Your time as nunh of the M tribe ends today.
M'rahz Nunh 	Before we begin, M'zhet, there's something you must know.
M'zhet Tia 	What now?
M'rahz Nunh 	A terrible tale told to me by the Vira.
M'rahz Nunh 	Twenty years ago, a Miqo'te of the M tribe traveling with child happened upon their people.
M'rahz Nunh 	He claimed to be a nunh who relinquished his title to avoid creating discord within the tribe. Though no longer one of them, he planned to watch over them from afar.
M'rahz Nunh 	One fateful day, the local wildlife were afflicted with a strange illness that drove them into a frenzy.
M'rahz Nunh 	It was as if they were possessed, forming a monstrous herd storming toward the Peering Stones.
M'rahz Nunh 	He could not stand idly by and watch his former home be destroyed. And so he chose to face the beasts alone, leaving his child in the Ananta's care.
M'rahz Nunh 	One after another the beasts fell as he drove them into a nearby cavern. Yet he would not escape unscathed, for one of the creatures struck him with poison that would soon turn him to stone.
M'rahz Nunh 	His limbs growing stiff, he used the last of his strength to collapse the cave entrance. The remaining crevice that would have allowed their escape was blocked by his cold, petrified flesh.
M'rahz Nunh 	That man was M'aht, your father.
M'rahz Nunh 	There are those who called him a coward for leaving, but in truth he was the bravest among us.
M'rahz Nunh 	Do you recall this blade? It has rested here ever since that fateful day your father gave his life to save us.
M'zhet Tia 	My father's blade! So it's true, then...
M'zhet Tia 	I hated him for so long, I...
M'rahz Nunh 	Be strong, M'zhet. You are your father's son, and one day you shall make a great nunh.
M'zhet Tia 	Forgive me...
 	
M'zhet Tia 	Why are we fighting here of all places?
M'rahz Nunh 	I take it he's asked you to bear witness to our battle. Very well. Pray go to the valley southeast of here. I will be along shortly.
 	
M'zhet Tia 	My memories of childhood are hazy, but I do recall being taken to an Ananta village shortly after leaving the M tribe.
M'zhet Tia 	Now I know why he left me all those years ago. He was a hero to the bitter end, fighting to protect our people.
M'zhet Tia 	...
M'zhet Tia 	And now I would protect them too.
M'zhet Tia 	I need to speak with M'rahz!
 	
M'rahz Nunh 	Ah, you are returned.
M'zhet Tia 	M'rahz Nunh, I...I want to apologize for the disrespect I've shown you. You're not to blame for my father leaving. I realize that now.
M'rahz Nunh 	You needn't apologize. We are men of the M tribe, it is only natural that we might quarrel in one way or another.
M'rahz Nunh 	Now that you know the truth, what will you do now?
M'zhet Tia 	If you would have me, I wish to rejoin the M tribe. As a tia.
M'zhet Tia 	I will become stronger, and one day carry on in my father's footsteps.
M'zhet Tia 	By his blade, I swear it.
M'rahz Nunh 	Very well. I welcome you once more as M'zhet Tia of the M tribe. Train hard, young one, and become the man I know your father believed you could be.
M'rahz Nunh 	I would also hold a memorial service to honor your father's sacrifice. We do not have his remains, but I pray his soul will at last be at peace.
M'zhet Tia 	Thanks for all your help.
M'zhet Tia 	I might've never learned about my father if you hadn't showed up.
M'zhet Tia 	The next time we meet, you'll be addressing me as M'zhet Nunh. At least I hope so. I also expect a rematch for that first thrashing you gave me.
M'zhet Tia 	I should get going. I have to reintroduce myself to a lot of people. Till we meet again.
M'rahz Nunh 	Words fail to express my gratitude, adventurer.
M'rahz Nunh 	He will make a fine nunh someday. When his time comes, I hope you will offer him support again as you did this day.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
