Heavens Know You're Fast

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The black uma yoriki yearns to show the speed of a horse to the plodding folk of Ul'dah, and has asked you to don the uma kabuto and run to the Silver Bazaar. Under your own power, race to the first marker at the Eighty Sins of Sasamo in western Thanalan.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
* You have passed the first marker. The uma kabuto may lie heavy on your untried head, but be steadfast and run to the second marker in western Thanalan.
* You have passed the second marker. Resist the temptation to come up for air from under the kabuto, and run to the third marker in western Thanalan.
* You have passed the third marker and persuaded a passing adventurer of the speed of the horse. Know that you have grown into the kabuto, and run to the fourth marker in western Thanalan.
* You have passed the fourth marker. Feel anew the graceful contours of the kabuto upon your head, and run to the fifth marker in western Thanalan.
* You have passed the fifth marker. Raise your helmed head high and speak with the black uma doshin in the Silver Bazaar.
* The black uma doshin has breathlessly praised your efforts and given you a carrot as a token of her approbation. Deliver the carrot to the black uma yoriki in Ul'dah.
* The black uma yoriki gleefully exclaims over your achievement and has thrust a black uma kabuto into your tired hands. You seem to have covered yourself in glory, at least in Ul'dah. Seek the same in Limsa Lominsa and Gridania, then present yourself to the uma bugyo back in Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.

Blackgeneral 	I mark you as an adventurer come to our aid, lo!
Blackgeneral 	I am that which the East and the West alike call the black uma yoriki, though, lo, one knows the name by heart and the other by ear alone. To Ul'dah was I sent to tell of the speed that is the birthright of the horse!
Blackgeneral 	Hoarse have I shouted these tales of fleetness─no pun intended─but a man's voice is poor substitute for a horse a-gallop, alack!
Blackgeneral 	A man a-run, however, such makes a better substitute, but only a man fleet of foot would do! Hard would I charge if I felt myself equal to the task, but lo! A lifetime on horseback makes a poor runner indeed.
Blackgeneral 	Now, an adventurer in the prime of her/his life may achieve the spirit─if not the substance─of the speed that lo, sends manes flying and hearts thundering! Such and that are yours to achieve.
Blackgeneral 	One who whiles her life away in my benevolent shadow has placed markers along the road to the Silver Bazaar. As the winds of the East race to a stormcote you must run, horselike in your speed...from marker to marker and so on to the Silver Bazaar, using naught but your own legs!
 	
Subordinateb 	What travesty is this!? I look upon you, and I see not a horse! Don the uma kabuto for this most important journey!
Subordinateb 	...Question not how I manage to bear witness to your deed from afar. Be as the horse, and leave behind all doubts and bafflement!

Npc 	Beg pardon, a moment of your time?
Npc 	Now here's a curious sight─a lass/fellow in a most peculiar helm running up this road like fire through tinder. It's upset this chocobo something fierce.
Npc 	Embracing the inner horse, you say? Advocating for an Eastern mount? Nonsense! You see a lass/fellow running her/his heart out in an outlandish helm and you think...you think...
Npc 	Why, you think there must be a good reason for a lass/fellow to mortify herself/himself so, and...and you wonder just how swift this horse must be for her/him to go to all this trouble and nonsense!
Npc 	The revolution comes! A new mount to rival chocobos, even replace them! What does it mean? Whom shall I tell? ...And how might I make a few gil off of this?
Npc 	I thank you kindly for the information, horse-woman/man! Spread the word of the horse's speed far and wide. We who adopt the mount early will have a greater joy of it.
 	
Subordinateb 	You have finished your task, m'lady/m'lord. Well did you run your appointed course.
Subordinateb 	I have watched you from afar and near alike, and aye, you were as a charger! Who could fail to be awed by the spittle flying from beneath your kabuto?
Subordinateb 	...Your boots as thundering hooves sending up plumes of dust, your taut flanks gleaming with sweat...well! A worthy mount you would make, m'lady/m'lord.
Subordinateb 	I am not the only horse-lover in the Silver Bazaar tonight, I'll wager. I saw many a pair of eyes shining at the sight of flying manes, lips parted as though to drink in the muscular gallop...
Subordinateb 	And did you yourself not feel a dim echo of the exhilaration that is the natural gift of riders and mount alike? So long have we of the East partaken of this that we feel the need...the need for speed.
Subordinateb 	It is our custom to reward a horse with a carrot. Take this, my fleet piebald steed, and present it to the black uma yoriki in Ul'dah.
 	
Subordinateb 	You will continue to don the kabuto, I hope. With so many eager eyes upon you, it would be a sore disappointment to see the horse revealed as mere woman/man.
Blackgeneral 	By the dust upon your coat and lo, the foam upon your chest, I mark the celerity of your journey hither! What have you there?
Blackgeneral 	A carrot! However did you rouse the doshin to such favor, such fervor? A seeker of pleasure and a spirit most free she is, but since arriving in Eorzea, she has been as watered wine, alack!
Blackgeneral 	Much do we value speed in the East for lo, life is hard and full of besiegement. We can plod in uncertain safety or...gallop in certain rapture!
Blackgeneral 	An adventurer carries herself/himself in much the same way, ha! No wonder it is that you succeeded beyond my wildest hope. This is your reward, lo, a kabuto that is a twin to mine own!
Blackgeneral 	Never plod, adventurer. Death shall unhorse us, every one, but until then...until then, lo, we shall canter, we shall gallop, we shall leap!
Blackgeneral 	The word shall spread throughout Ul'dah of the speed of the horse. You have hotfooted and hightailed your way to glory and grace! Continue your work for the uma bugyo, I say, then return to her in Gridania.
