The Rising (2018)

The The Calamity Returns to Ul'dah was the 2018 edition of the seasonal event The Rising in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event was started by accepting the sidequest by talking to Dural Tharal in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:10.2 Y:8.3).
==History==
The Immortal Flames was going to hold "The Calamity Retold", military exercises inspired by the imperial invasions that took place years ago. Dural Tharal planned to interview people about their experiences of that time and invites Warrior of Light to accompany him so that they can offer another perspective on the subject.
According to the Flame Commander, the military exercises aim to cultivate awareness of the Garlean threat among the citizens, many of whom have forgotten how close Ul'dah came to becoming a battlefield during the Calamity. 
In the Pugilists' Guild, he hears an account of the imperial invasion that was used as propaganda by the Garleans to sow panic. And while the tactic succeeded in weakening the will of some, in others it served only to strengthen the spirit of resistance. A thaumaturge reported that as the Dalamud approached, their influence unleashed hordes of voidsents upon the land. But as they did with the imperial invaders, the adventurers again rose up to face this threat and protect the people. Speaking with a Brass Blade veteran of the Battle of Carteneau, he attributed his survival to two things: luck and brave adventurers, the last of whom intercepted an imperial unit on its way to flank the Eorzean forces forces. With that, Dural Tharal's interview comes to an end.
Thanking the Warrior of Light for his opinion on the interviews, Dural Tharal declares that he would next go in search of a mysterious minstrel who was strumming songs about Calamity. After greeting the Warrior of Light, the wandering minstrel begins to stroke his lyre. As the music resounds, the Warrior of Light's mind is taken to the presence of a man named Naoki Yoshida, who offered many thanks for his tireless efforts to make the world a better place.
==Song==
O hero of rebirth traversing,♪
Soar you the azure skies.♪
Upon your breast a crimson crest,♪
Shine Light down from on high.♪
O hero of rebirth transcending,♪
Weave you an azure lie.♪
By your deeds doth crimson bleed,♪
And Darkness quench the fire.♪
