The Scions of the Seventh Dawn

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* According to Momodi, the men and women who call themselves the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have made it their mission to safeguard Eorzea's future. Given the multitude of problems facing the realm, they are always looking for capable individuals to join their cause, and it appears your recent exploits have drawn their attention. The Scions are headquartered in an establishment called the Waking Sands, located in Vesper Bay, out in western Thanalan. Make your way there and identify yourself to the guardsman at the entrance.
* At the entrance to the Waking Sands, you find not a guardsman but a singing Lalafell by the name of Tataru, who informs you that the Antecedent awaits within. Let the door guard know when you are ready to be shown through.
* You meet with Minfilia, the leader of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, who expresses her belief that your power─the Echo─is the key to solving the primal problem facing Eorzea. At the end of a lengthy exposition, she implores you to lend your strength to the Scions' cause, and entrusts you with the order's password: “wild rose.”
==Objectives==
* Go to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay.
* Speak with the Scion of the Seventh Dawn.

Momodi 	So you want to know more, then, do you? Well, ain't that a surprise... I swear, if I painted “CERTAIN DEATH” on one door and “LIMITLESS WEALTH” on another, nine out of ten adventurers would go through the first, and the other bloke wouldn't be able to choose, on account of bein' Ul'dahn. Anyway, don't say I didn't warn you.
Momodi 	First of all, if you're wonderin' whether you can trust these “Scions of the Seventh Dawn,” you can. They're good people who've made it their mission to solve some of Eorzea's most pressin' problems. 'Course, that ain't no small task, and so they're always lookin' for dependable individuals to join 'em─individuals like you, [Player Name].
Momodi 	Now, I've been given leave to tell you where to find the Scions, but you must promise to keep this information to yourself. As you can probably imagine, it's somethin' Eorzea's enemies would very much like to know.
Momodi 	The Scions are headquartered in Vesper Bay, out in western Thanalan. The place you're lookin' for is called the Wakin' Sands. Give your name to whoever's at the entrance, and you'll be let in.
Momodi 	You're a woman/man in demand, [Player Name], and the days ahead promise to be busy, but I hope you won't forget about them as helped make you into the adventurer you are/about them as helped make you into the adventurer you are/your old friend Momodi/about them as helped make you into the adventurer you are. Drop in and tell 'em/'em/me/'em how you're farin' from time to time, you hear? Right, well, I've said my piece. Off you go.
 	
Tataru 	Deep in the desert of my heart,♪
A lonely flower blooms...♪
Tataru 	Yearning for the heavens above♪
To quench my thirst for you.♪
Tataru 	Trololololo～lololo～♪
Tataru 	Uwaaah!
Tataru 	<cough>
Tataru 	I would thank you not to sneak up on me like that!
Tataru 	Now, please be advised that this is private property. Unless you have pertinent business here, I must ask you to─
Tataru 	Here at the behest of Yda and Papalymo!?
Tataru 	Here at the behest of Thancred!?
Tataru 	Here at the behest of Y'shtola!?
Tataru 	My sincerest apologies! May I please have your name?
Tataru 	[Player Name]...[Player Name]... Ah, here you are.
Tataru 	Um...where have I heard your name before?
Tataru 	Have we...? Have we met?
Tataru 	Wait a minute! Weren't you the shady merchant who tried to sell me imitation Fen–Yll wares the other day? No? Then...are you the persistent peddler who wouldn't leave Lady Minfilia alone, and received a slap for her/his troubles?
Tataru 	Not her/him either? Oh well, my mistake!
Tataru 	[Player Name]...[Player Name]... Ah, here you are.
Tataru 	Ahem! I bid you welcome to the Waking Sands, headquarters of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn!
Tataru 	My name is Tataru, and I look forward to assisting you during your time with us.
Tataru 	The Antecedent is within the solar. I shall let her know to expect you.
 	
Tataru 	The Antecedent awaits downstairs, within the solar. You may enter whenever you are ready.
 	
Guide 	I take it you are [Player Name]. Tataru sent word that you had arrived.
Guide 	Lady Minfilia has eagerly awaited your coming. This way, if you please.
 	
Minfilia 	So you are the adventurer of whom I've heard so much.
 	
Minfilia 	Well met, friend. My name is Minfilia, and I lead the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
 	
Minfilia 	I have awaited your coming.
 	
Minfilia 	After five long years...you've come back to us, just as Louisoix said you would...
 	
Minfilia 	Words cannot describe the joy I feel at this moment. Welcome home.
 	
Minfilia 	Aye, I remember you still, and everything you fought for. Know that you are not entirely forgotten.
 	
Minfilia 	If Louisoix is watching us, as I choose to believe, he may now rest in peace, his mission finally fulfilled.
 	
Minfilia 	Please, be at ease. You are among friends here.
 	
Minfilia 	No doubt you're ripe to burst with questions, but have patience─all will be revealed in time.
 	
Minfilia 	First, let me begin by telling you who we are and what we do.
 	
Minfilia 	We are the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, an order that transcends political boundaries. Our single objective is the preservation of the future of Eorzea.
 	
Minfilia 	Among our gravest concerns are the godlike beings known as the primals.
 	
Minfilia 	Their existence is a bane upon Eorzea─nay, the world at large, and we have striven to find a lasting solution to the threat they pose.
 	
Minfilia 	Our order is home to a number of individuals who, like you, possess a rare and special talent.
 	
Minfilia 	This talent takes various forms, but one holds particular interest for us.
 	
Minfilia 	Tell me, have you ever experienced a sudden, inexplicable loss of consciousness?
 	
Minfilia 	Have you ever had the sensation of being pulled away from reality? Felt as though you were hovering in space, a mind without a body?
 	
Minfilia 	All these things are the manifestations of your talent. Yours is the power to transcend the boundaries of the soul─a power known as the Echo.
 	
Minfilia 	The Echo allows you to pass through the walls of a man's soul, and hear the resonations of his past.
 	
Minfilia 	You will be there in his memories, and see things as he saw them. You may even interact with that which you see, though you cannot change the outcome of events.
 	
Minfilia 	For another blessing, the Echo will enable you to know a man's mind even if you cannot comprehend his words.
 	
Minfilia 	In short, the Echo is a truly extraordinary power. And this power is strong within you.
 	
Minfilia 	It is only a shame that we cannot use it whensoever we choose.
 	
Minfilia 	That's right. I too possess the Echo.
 	
Minfilia 	With that established, let us return to the subject of the primals.
 	
Minfilia 	So long as they exist, the realm cannot take so much as a single step towards true peace.
 	
Minfilia 	Measures must be taken─measures which transcend boundaries, be they of faction, race, language, or creed. And to do so, the Scions require the aid of those with our talent.
 	
Minfilia 	Make no mistake─the Echo will be instrumental in dealing with the primal threat. Without it, we cannot hope to save the realm.
 	
Minfilia 	I know not what it is you desire for yourself, nor what it was that first brought you to Eorzea.
 	
Minfilia 	But I firmly believe that the power we possess was given to us for a purpose.
 	
Minfilia 	Why else would the gods entrust man with a gift so extraordinary, if not to have him use it?
 	
Minfilia 	And so I implore you: lend us your power.
Minfilia 	Naturally, your aid will not go unrewarded. We are fortunate to have a number of influential allies, and at a word from me, they will gladly afford you certain privileges that might otherwise be denied you.
Minfilia 	The right to employ retainers, for example. Are you familiar with them? They are individuals who may be relied upon to manage your assets and belongings on your behalf.
Tataru 	The papers you requested, my lady.
Minfilia 	Thank you, Tataru.
Tataru 	The pleasure is mine, my lady!
Minfilia 	By way of a welcoming gift, I have taken the liberty of adding your name to the retainers' registry. As of now, you are entitled to employ the services of a retainer.
Minfilia 	You will need to consult a retainer vocate regarding the particulars of this arrangement, but believe me when I say that retainers will prove invaluable to you in your adventuring endeavors.
Minfilia 	Let this gesture serve as evidence of our commitment to do all in our power to facilitate your personal objectives.
Minfilia 	In return, we ask that you aid us to the fullest extent of your talents.
Minfilia 	A mutually beneficial relationship, I am sure you will agree, and one which serves the greater good besides.
Minfilia 	Well, that was a veritable lecture, was it not? Forgive me, but it is important that all concerned are aware of what is expected of them. Now you know our purpose, and what we can offer you, I invite you to consider joining us. When you have come to a decision, you may tell me without fear of censure.
Minfilia 	In good faith, I shall entrust you with our order's password, which our members use to reach one another when afield.
Minfilia 	It is “wild rose.” Pray keep it safe.
