Fire in the Forge

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Thanks to your efforts and Cid's cooperation, everything is in place to begin reforging the blades of Gunnhildr, arms Gerolt would now refer to as Resistance weapons. Before setting to work, however, Gerolt asks you to expound on your exploration of Cid's mind. This insight makes clear to him that the weapons require a final ingredient before they can be completed─a special powder highly conductive to aether. Much to his dismay, the one best suited to acquiring this for you is none other than Rowena. At the risk of incurring more debt, he asks you to meet with her in Kugane to make an arrangement on behalf of the Bozjan Resistance.
※You may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
* Rowena has heard the details of your predicament from Gerolt, and is willing to provide you with the powder you require. It will, however, come at a cost to the Bozjan Resistance. You are unsure of what this means for Bajsaljen and his comrades, but the deal is struck nevertheless. With matters settled in Kugane, you return to Gangos, eager to see the fruits of Gerolt's labor.
* Though you are too late to behold the masterful strikes of Gerolt's hammer on his anvil, you are fortunate enough to witness the final touches to the inscription. Armed as one of Gunnhildr's elite guard, you will soon be ready to help liberate the people of Bozja.
==Objectives==
* Wait for Rowena at the Umineko Teahouse in Kugane.
* Deliver the Thavnairian scalepowder to Gerolt at Gangos.

Gerolt 	Yer here. Good. Ready to get workin' on the Resistance weapons, lass/lad?
Gerolt 	Ye like the name, “Resistance weapon”?
Gerolt 	It crossed me mind to call 'em Gunnhildr's blades, but after talkin' with Misija, we figured it'd be too confusin', seein' as that's also the name o' the queen's guard.
Gerolt 	Anyroad, yer timin' couldn't be better. Before we get to workin' in earnest, I was hopin' ye could tell me a bit more about what went on in Cid's noggin. I've heard a fair bit from Mikoto, but I'd like to know if you saw any different.
Gerolt 	Hmm... Sounds like I was right to ask ye before settin' to work.
Gerolt 	Seems to me those fancy markin's in the weapons are mainly for show. I can copy 'em, aye, but that won't be enough.
Gerolt 	Like as not they were carved into the hilts as well. And to make sure the spell can take hold, ye'd need a finish with fine powder what's conductive to aether.
Gerolt 	For material like that, I reckon ye'd need to consult the alchemists o' Radz–at–Han... <sigh> And I can only think o' one person with close contacts there.
 	
Gerolt 	Aye, the demoness o' coin.
Gerolt 	But not to worry, lass/lad. It just so happens she's been keepin' up a steady shipment o' supplies here on contract. If we say we need the powder fer the Resistance, might be as we can convince her to waive the costs.
Gerolt 	She ain't usually one to do business fer charity, I know, but it's worth a try, eh? I'll see about getting in touch with her, and after I do, you can go and meet with her an' figure out the rest.
Gerolt 	Well ye don't expect me to go and meet with her, do ye? Workin' on the Resistance weapons's kept me too busy by half, and Drake here─ Er, I mean... Uh... What was yer name again?
Zlatan 	Zlatan, Master Gerolt. My name is Zlatan. But more importantly, what if Mistress Rowena doesn't agree to a charitable contribution to our cause?
Gerolt 	I'm sure if you an' Bajsaljen ask her nicely she might come 'round. But never mind that─we've important work to do.
Gerolt 	As fer where to find Rowena, afore she left Gangos, she said she'd be stoppin' over in Kugane on business. How's about I have her meet ye at the Umineko Teahouse? If we're lucky, a nice cup o' tea'll brighten her mood.
 	
Gerolt 	Afraid I'll have to leave Rowena to you, lass/lad. Me tryin' to bargain with her'd be like squeezin' blood from a stone.
 	
Zlatan 	I fear Bajsaljen will not take well to Master Gerolt's plan. But I suppose it is for the sake of the Resistance...
 	
Rowena 	I was wonderin' when you'd show up. Gerolt told me everything.
Rowena 	And luckily for you, my business here was at the Thavnairian Consulate. Here you are. This should be enough powder for one of those Resistance weapons you're forgin'.
Rowena 	I've got to hand it to Gerolt. Seems he spends half his time getting deeper in debt, and the other half avoiding payment.
Rowena 	Fine by me, though. Thanks to his schemin' I've a little more leverage over the Resistance and, by extension, him as well.
Rowena 	Pass along a message to Gerolt and Bajsaljen for me, won't you? If they require more material for these weapons, I'd be more than happy to supply them. For a fee, of course.
Rowena 	Same goes for you. I know you adventurin' types are always lookin' to be prepared for any sort of encounter, so if you're thinkin' of forgin' another of these Resistance weapons─and I suspect you are─you know where to go.
Rowena 	I'll see to it my girls in Revenant's Toll and Idyllshire keep their shelves stocked. Until next time.
 	
Zlatan 	It has long been our wish to see the blades of Gunnhildr reforged, and it is for that purpose Bajsaljen has agreed to covering the required expenses. I but pray we are ready when Mistress Rowena demands recompense.
 	
Gerolt 	The weapon's nearly finished, [Player Name]. Just needs a nice coatin' with that powder to finish the inscription.
 	
Gerolt 	O' course she bloody found what we needed. As much as I hate fattenin' her purse with another man's coin, least now we can do our part fer the Resistance.
 	
Gerolt 	Feast yer eyes on some of me finest work to date. Best of all, the inscription'll react to yer aether.
Gerolt 	A right fine weapon to rally the Bozjans: . I reckon Gunnhildr'd be proud.
Gerolt 	A right fine sword an' shield to rally the Bozjans: and . I reckon Gunnhildr'd be proud.
Zlatan 	That I should behold the glory of the fabled blades born anew... Hope is not yet lost.
Gerolt 	All in a day's work for yer ol' pal Gerolt. 'Course, this is only the beginning.
Zlatan 	Your skills with a hammer were truly a sight to behold, Master Gerolt. And to see [Player Name] wielding one of their holy blades thus, it is as if I stand before one of the heroes of eld.
Zlatan 	When the time comes to do battle with the Empire, our brothers-in-arms will look upon you and know courage. On behalf of the Bozjan Resistance, I offer you my humblest thanks for your aid thus far.
Gerolt 	I'd love to start fresh on another weapon, but I had to use every last morsel o' the powder on that one.
Zlatan 	Meaning we would find ourselves indebted further to Mistress Rowena were we to acquire more... I must consult Bajsaljen before we proceed further.
Gerolt 	Looks like we're takin' a short break then, eh? If you find yourself wantin' for another weapon, though, come an' speak with me helper here.
Gerolt 	I think I've earned meself a nice, big flagon of ale tonight! To, uh...celebrate the forgin', o' course!
