Disciples of Creation

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The festival organizers have received a gift of Namai persimmons from the participants, and Gyoshin would like to share it with the Xaela as thanks for teaching the Namazu their festival traditions. You agree to join him at Dotharl Khaa to offer a personal word of gratitude.※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
* You give Sadu the persimmons, which she gladly accepts despite never having seen the fruit before. She reveals that the Dotharl have found the Namazu's archery event to be quite entertaining, though perhaps for a different reason than Gyoshin intended.
* You speak to Magnai, who agrees to accept the persimmons as an offering. Though it seems he and Gyoshin are not quite on the same page when it comes to the relationship between their tribes, for now it is enough that they tolerate one another.
* Although Cirina would perhaps rather be eating something else, she politely accepts the Namai persimmons. Having expressed your gratitude for the Mol's help and assured her that her tribe is welcome at the festival any time, you and Gyoshin start back to Dhoro Iloh.
* A thoughtful Gyoshin asks you whether anything you and the Namazu have done together has had meaning. Though no one can say for certain whether the festival will, ultimately, save the Namazu from their terrible fate, it seems he remains hopeful. In answer to his own question, he tells you that, whether or not one's creations have an effect on the world at large, the very act of working on something is a defining one. As proof of this, Gyoshin gives you a piece of his handiwork demonstrating that you, through your actions, have forged an identity as a true friend of the Namazu─a bell just like their own.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Sadu.
* Speak with Magnai.
* Speak with Cirina.
* Speak with Gyoshin.

Gyoshin 	Can you spare a moment? Just a bit of your time?
Gyoshin 	You see, Gyorin has given us a gift of persimmons! But they are not just from him, no, no. They were paid for by many festival participants who wanted to give something to us, the organizers.
Gyoshin 	According to Seigetsu the Enlightened, such gifts traditionally demonstrate gratitude for a fantastic festival! Or something like that. I dozed off, to be honest with you.
Gyoshin 	Anyway, I think it would be quite fitting, most proper, to share this gift with everyone who made our festival a success. You will join me, yes, yes?
Gyoshin 	Thank you! First we will pay a visit to Sadu in Dotharl Khaa. Off we go!
 	
Gyorei 	I really must remain here to ensure that nothing catches on fire. Aside from the elements that are intended to be on fire, of course. But I will make arrangements to send thank-you gifts to the helpful shipwright and Matoya while you are away. Yes, yes. Please take my thanks to the Xaela!
 	
Gyoshin 	Her gaze is still most cold, quite fearsome. Is her face stuck that way?
 	
Sadu 	You again. What is it this time?
Gyoshin 	We are here to express our gratitude. To give thanks for your help with the archery contest! Via these persimmons from Namai, yes, yes.
Sadu 	An odd gesture, but not unwelcome. I will taste this curious fruit.
Sadu 	Word of your contest reached my ears. I would have dismissed it as mere rumor had my warriors not been the ones to deliver it. They said they nearly died of laughter.
Gyoshin 	...I am unsure whether that is a compliment or an insult. Yes, yes. But I am most pleased that you now know of the Namazu!
Sadu 	Ha! Nor will we soon forget. Stunted chuluu that you are.
Sadu 	Our youths are eager to attend your festivities. You will entertain them.
Gyoshin 	Of course, of course! Everyone is welcome! Just come to Dhoro Iloh sometime in the next seven years. We must set off for the Dawn Throne now, but I hope we meet again soon.
 	
Gyoshin 	Must he make that face? Is it necessary?
Sadu 	I do want to eat this, but...how?
 	
Magnai 	To our dismay, we have seen the enormous, grotesque statue you erected on the cliffs. It displeases us to suffer such an eyesore, though I will commend your artisans' skill.
Gyoshin 	...At least part of that was uncalled for. How uncivil. Anyway, we come bearing persimmons from Namai. As thanks for your explanation of Azim Bökh, yes, yes.
Magnai 	Ah, an offering. In that case, I will permit it.
Magnai 	The Oronir are always generous to those who pay obeisance. I will overlook your peculiar customs and grant the Namazu permission to hold your festival─at least until we claim victory in the next Naadam.
Magnai 	You may deliver the persimmons to Esugen. He has charge of all culinary matters.
Gyoshin 	Will do!
Gyoshin 	I am unsure whether we have an agreement or not, but I am quite satisfied that you at least know of the Namazu.
Magnai 	Indeed. Though at first I found your disfigured forms distasteful, I will allow that you too serve a purpose─not unlike the dzo─as do all the blessings of the Steppe.
Magnai 	One might be tempted to declare you superior to the Matanga, who lack your loquaciousness. Hm. Yes, I grant you leave to swear fealty to us as a tribe of the Steppe.
Gyoshin 	...Well, the rest of these persimmons are not getting any fresher! We must hurry to see the Mol. Make haste, yes, yes. See you around!
 	
Gyoshin 	(Psst, [Player Name]! She is still staring. Most raptly. Unceasingly. What do I do?)
Magnai 	Lest you think I condone your behavior, know that I do not. For a khagan to cavort with Namazu bespeaks questionable judgment.
 	
Cirina 	<slurp> ...Oh! Pardon me. I didn't see you there, [Player Name].
Gyoshin 	We have come bearing persimmons to thank you for your assistance! We could not have held our festival without the grounds you gave to us. No, no. And your insight into horse-racing was most appreciated.
Cirina 	My, how thoughtful!
Cirina 	Dhoro Iloh seems so lively now─the festival must be going well. The children here do so wish to attend.
Gyoshin 	They are most welcome! The Mol are free to attend any time, any time at all over the next seven years! We will be there.
Cirina 	I look forward to it. And I'm sure the children will be delighted.
Cirina 	I admit I thought it strange, that the udgan should speak of a person resembling a catfish. But I am happy to have met someone so delici─deft of hand.
Gyoshin 	I am unsure whether you like me for my skill or for my flavor, yes, yes, but I thank you nonetheless! I hope to see you at Dhoro Iloh someday.
 	
Gyorei 	I have everything under control. Only intentional incineration here. Yes, yes.
Cirina 	These persimmons certainly are on the ripe side! I will make sure to serve them without delay.
 	
Gyoshin 	I would like to speak to everyone. Together! Please wait just one moment.
Gyoshin 	Behold! Our majestic creation! So, um... Do you think it is impressive enough? Sufficiently inspiring of awe?
Gyorei 	I find it curiously comforting. Yes, yes.
Kofuinseigetsu 	But of course! What could possibly express the spirit of enlightenment more effectively than an imposing sculpture?
Gyoshin 	[Player Name], do you think our festival has been...meaningful? Worthwhile? Will we be saved from our terrible fate?
 	
Gyoshin 	That is what I was worried about. What I feared.
Gyoshin 	But I do not believe it matters. No, no. This festival brought us together. And together we made so many, many things.
Gyoshin 	You really think so? Yes, yes?
Gyoshin 	Even had it not, I would not regret it. No, no. This festival brought us together. And together we made so many, many things.
Gyoshin 	Meaningful. Worthwhile. Valuable. Weighty words, yes, yes.
Gyoshin 	But I think that what we do is what defines us. Crafting because we want to craft. Gathering because we want to gather. Even when no one sees its meaning, its worth, its value, we simply...do. That is what makes a disciple of creation.
Kofuinseigetsu 	Well said, Gyoshin! In fact, the same is recorded in A Meditation on the Metaphysics of Merrymaking. “In following our hearts we find a freedom, a peace, truer than any other─our own”!
Gyorei 	...Gyofu─<sigh>─Seigetsu the Enlightened, is this really the time for citations?
Kofuinseigetsu 	I hope you do not imply I am being pretentious! Nothing could be further from the truth. I was bolstering Gyoshin's confidence by mentioning that I made the same observation in my debut publication: A Meditation on the Metaphysics of Merrymaking. I, too, am following my heart!
Gyoshin 	That is amazing, Seigetsu the Enlightened! I hope your heart leads you to summarize. To write succinctly.
Gyoshin 	Oh! I nearly forgot for the fifth time. I have something for you.
Gyoshin 	This is a deeply significant, most meaningful bell. I made it for you! With my own two fins. I am most grateful to everyone, but I am most most grateful to you, [Player Name].
Gyoshin 	Our festival would not be the same without you. No, no.
Gyoshin 	Thank you, thank you!
Gyoshin 	It seems we will be well occupied for the next seven years. Yes, yes!
