Reclamation

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Before you can contemplate tackling the Empire's terrifying new weapon, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn must be reborn. Return to the Waking Sands with Cid and Alphinaud.
* Within the echoing halls of the Waking Sands, you are reunited first with Yda and later Y'shtola, to the surprise and delight of all concerned. The pair reveal that they have spent the days since the raid searching for information on the location of the Scions taken prisoner by the Empire. What is more, Y'shtola's latest inquiries have borne fruit: your comrades are being held at Castrum Centri, an imperial stronghold in Mor Dhona. While the others begin to digest this news, you are left to reflect instead on the cryptic warning imparted to you by Hydaelyn in yet another vision...
==Objectives==
* Speak with Alphinaud in the Waking Sands.

Alphinaud 	It is past time that we return to the Waking Sands.
Alphinaud 	To leave our headquarters in disrepair any longer would be to dishonor the memory of those who fell there.
Alphinaud 	We have been brought to our knees, but we will rest, rebuild, and rise once more.
 	
Alphinaud 	Tell me, [Player Name]...does aught here strike you as odd? I see signs of recent habitation. Could it be that we have trespassers?
Alphinaud 	Hm. Mayhap it is just my imagination. Come, let us proceed into the solar.
 	
Cid 	Wait.
Yda 	Who goes there!?
Alphinaud 	Now, now, Yda─is that any way to greet a friend?
Yda 	Alphinaud! [Player Name]!
Yda 	Cid!? Wait, is this a dream?
Cid 	Not that I'm aware of! It's been a while, Yda.
Yda 	I...I don't believe it... I was sure you'd been─
Cid 	This place has seen better days.
Yda 	Uh...you know, I wasn't actually here when... I-I was still in talks at the Adders' Nest...
Yda 	The first I knew about it was when I came back, and...and I saw...
Alphinaud 	Yda...
Yda 	The church had taken care of the bodies, but that still left...the stains... I-It was hard to know where to start... If Y'shtola hadn't been here to help me─
Alphinaud 	Y'shtola is here too?
Yda 	Yes. But she's not here right now. She's gone to Ul'dah to meet a man who might know what happened to the others.
Yda 	Papalymo and Minfilia weren't among the dead, according to the church. Y'shtola thinks they were taken somewhere.
Alphinaud 	Upon the orders of the Black Wolf, no doubt.
Cid 	...Why would he want them?
Alphinaud 	Because they possess something he desires: knowledge of another power that can be brought to bear against the primals─one that Gaius has yet to harness...
Alphinaud 	The Echo.
Alphinaud 	Gaius will be aware of its existence, as well as the immunity it grants the gifted to the primals' influence.
Alphinaud 	Powerful though his Allagan weapon may be, he would doubtless desire such protection.
Alphinaud 	He means to use Minfilia to gain an understanding of the Echo.
Alphinaud 	...None of which explains how the Empire came to know the location of the Waking Sands in the first place...
Alphinaud 	No matter. The Empire has shown its hand, and now we must act. It is up to us to rebuild the Scions and save Eorzea.
Alphinaud 	Can I count on you, Yda?
Yda 	What? Oh, yes─yes, of course! Whatever you need!
Alphinaud 	We can discuss our next move upon Y'shtola's return.
Alphinaud 	For now, I say we rest.
 	
Hydaelyn 	Hear... Feel... Think...
 	
Hydaelyn 	Bringer of Light...
 	
Hydaelyn 	Brave gatherer of the Crystals...thy soul burneth bright!
 	
Hydaelyn 	I am Hydaelyn. All made one.
 	
Hydaelyn 	Hearken unto me now, for the Darkness doth begin to spread.
 	
Hydaelyn 	Ware thee the bearer of the Crimson Brand, for he is the Avatar of Shadow, whom death attendeth always.
 	
Hydaelyn 	The Crystals shall be thy salvation─thy blade and shield both.
 	
Hydaelyn 	Steel thyself, for at the appointed hour...
 	
Hydaelyn 	Thou shalt stare into the Heart of Darkness.
 	
Hydaelyn 	Go with caution, my child, but fear not─for I am ever with thee.
Yda 	Y'shtola!
Yshtola 	[Player Name]. I see you and Alphinaud are safe. And...and Cid.
Yshtola 	That we five should meet each other thus defies simple explanation. It is as if the benevolent hand of Master Louisoix guides us still.
Yshtola 	He would not see us undone so easily. Not now, when the need is so great.
Yshtola 	I know where Minfilia and the others are being held.
Alphinaud 	Where?
Yshtola 	An imperial stronghold in the heart of Mor Dhona─Castrum Centri.
 	
Elyenora 	Greetings, madam/sir. Do you wish to proceed to your vessel?
 	
Cid 	I...I had no idea, [Player Name]. I can only imagine how you felt when you returned that day...
