In Pursuit of the Past

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Now that the matter of the false inquisitor has been resolved, naught remains to prevent you from entering the Stone Vigil. Alphinaud instructs you to seek an audience with Lord Drillemont, vowing that he and Cid will follow shortly.
* Lord Drillemont confirms that according to Ishgardian records the Enterprise was indeed seized by the troops garrisoned at the Stone Vigil shortly after the Calamity. However, it has now been some time since the outpost fell to the dragons, and he cannot vouch for the airship's preservation or even its presence. Though it may all be for naught, you have little choice but to search the ruins regardless. Make your way to the entrance to the Stone Vigil, which stands to the northwest of Whitebrim Front, and speak with Ser Nathelain to gain admission.
* Ser Nathelain confirms that you may enter the Stone Vigil whenever you wish.
※The Stone Vigil can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* While fighting your way through the Stone Vigil, you stumble upon the Enterprise, which appears to be in one piece. Unfortunately, that piece is situated dangerously close to a vast sleeping dragon. Leaving you to keep an eye on the beast, Cid and Alphinaud sneak aboard the airship and begin preparing it for departure. It is at this moment that Lahabrea appears. After remarking that you of all mortals may well have the strength to defeat Garuda, the Ascian uses his magicks to awaken the dragon, and you are soon locked in a desperate struggle with the creature as Cid and Alphinaud look on.
* After a titanic struggle, you somehow succeed in slaying the dragon, earning yourself the praise of Alphinaud in so doing. Your elation at having survived the encounter is dampened somewhat by the revelation that the Enterprise is more badly damaged than had been hoped. Thankfully, Cid manages to make sufficient repairs to the ship to enable you to make the flight back to Gridania. Speak with Alphinaud, and together determine how best to proceed.
* Despite Alphinaud's claim that recovering the Enterprise would be a cause for celebration, the young Sharlayan seems disinclined to revel. Instead, he reminds you that your work is far from done, and that the airship was only ever a means to an end. Next, you must find a way to restore the Enterprise to its former glory.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Drillemont.
* Speak with Nathelain.
* Use the Duty Finder to enter the Stone Vigil.
* Speak with Alphinaud.

Alphinaud 	As I am sure you will agree, it is past time we entered the Stone Vigil. Pay Lord Drillemont a visit and remind him of his obligation to us─Cid and I will follow anon.
 	
Drillemont 	We owe you all a great debt of gratitude. Had it not been for you, the heretic masquerading as Inquisitor Guillaime would still be among us, free to prey upon the innocent.
Drillemont 	I see now that I was a fool to dismiss your claims out of hand... But you must understand, it seemed too much to hope that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn still lived, to say nothing of Master Garlond!
Drillemont 	Never have I been happier to be proven wrong.
Alphinaud 	Well, it is gratifying to know that someone has derived a measure of enjoyment from your error.
Alphinaud 	Now, if you have no further objections, we would appreciate it if you would permit us to enter the Stone Vigil and retrieve our airship.
Drillemont 	Yes! Yes, of course. It is the very least I can do, given all that you have done for us.
Drillemont 	But entering the outpost is the least of your concerns, I fear...
Alphinaud 	You speak of the Dravanians that now hold the ruin.
Drillemont 	...In part, yes. I should explain: shortly after you first arrived, I had my men scour the old records. They confirmed that an abandoned airship had been seized by the soldiers garrisoned at the Stone Vigil in the days following the Calamity.
Drillemont 	As far as we have been able to ascertain, it was still in their custody when the outpost was overrun by the dragons. Whether it was damaged or destroyed during the battle, I cannot say, nor can I give you any assurances that it has not been removed in the intervening years.
Drillemont 	For far too long, the ruin has served as a Dravanian foothold in Coerthas, from which they have struck out at us with depressing regularity.
Drillemont 	Though we have pushed them back behind the walls, we have as yet been unable to drive them out, and I cannot say when the situation will change.
Alphinaud 	Or how it will change. Forgive me, Lord Drillemont, but there is no guarantee that you will prevail. In any event, we have not the time to wait. We will secure our property without Ishgardian aid.
Drillemont 	I see. Well, that may be for the best.
Drillemont 	I will inform Ser Nathelain of your impending visit. May Halone guide you, Scions.
 	
Nathelain 	Hail, [Player Name]! Lord Drillemont has apprised me of the situation. You may enter the Stone Vigil whensoever you will.
Nathelain 	Every knight in Whitebrim Front is praying for your success. May the Fury guide and protect you.
 	
Alphinaud 	Look! It's the Enterprise!
Cid 	Yes...just beyond that enormous sleeping dragon.
Alphinaud 	The dragon is not our concern. We have come for the airship, and only the airship.
Alphinaud 	Cid─you and I will sneak aboard the Enterprise and prepare it for launch.
Alphinaud 	[Player Name]─you stay here and keep an eye on the beast.
Alphinaud 	If it wakes, we may need you to provide a distraction until we are ready to depart. You can manage that, can't you?
Alphinaud 	That settles it, then. Shall we, Cid?
Cid 	As you command...
Lahabreaeorzea 	...So you mean to slay Garuda next? Interesting. Most interesting.
Lahabreaeorzea 	And you are aware that her strength greatly exceeds that of your previous primal conquests? ...A testament to the fanatical devotion of her followers. The Ixal are nothing if not zealous.
Lahabreaeorzea 	In spite of your past achievements, I labor to believe that you will best this foe.
Lahabreaeorzea 	Yet only a fool would underestimate the great Bringer of Light, slayer of Ifrit, bane of Titan...
Lahabreaeorzea 	If any mortal is capable of defeating the Lady of the Vortex, it is you.
Lahabreaeorzea 	Win or lose, the battle should at least make for an entertaining spectacle.
...Assuming, of course, you live that long.
Cid 	Alphinaud! The dragon!
Alphinaud 	Confound it all!
Lahabreaeorzea 	Let us see how well your blasphemous gifts serve you this time, crystal bearer!
 	
Alphinaud 	[Player Name]! [Player Name]! Are you all right? Speak to me!
Alphinaud 	Twelve be praised, I feared the beast had injured you.
Alphinaud 	I see now why the others rated you so highly. When you were caught in the midst of that aetheric bubble with the dragon, I was all but certain my next mission would be to find a new champion.
Alphinaud 	Thank the gods for sparing me that inconvenience. I have quite enough to do already. Which reminds me─Cid is working on the Enterprise as we speak. Let us go and see what he has to say.
Alphinaud 	What say you, Cid? Will she fly?
Cid 	Yes...though it will not be a pleasant ride.
Alphinaud 	Well, I daresay it will be no more unpleasant than staying here. 'Tis a pity the Enterprise is not in a better state, but if she will allow us to quit this place, I shall not complain.
Alphinaud 	If all are in agreement, let us return to Gridania.
Alphinaud 	Though I would like nothing more than to set course for the Howling Eye, it is plain the Enterprise is in no condition to weather the storm. She must needs be repaired if we are to proceed with our mission.
Cid 	This is all so familiar. I...I know this airship. If I could just...
Cid 	Bah, it's no use.
Cid 	...Let's go.
 	
Alphinaud 	Ah, how I have longed for the more agreeable climate of the Twelveswood.
Alphinaud 	Yet I will not deny the Holy See had its charms. Endless detours aside, our Ishgardian jaunt proved quite an adventure!
Alphinaud 	Alas, our work is far from done. We still have an airship to repair and a primal to slay. No rest for the heroic, eh?
 	
Lionnellais 	Greetings, madam/sir. Do you wish to proceed to your vessel?
