1,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_01","It would seem your recent exploits have garnered the attention of all three of the Grand Companies of Eorzea. Now each one is intent upon adding you to its ranks, going so far as to send a representative to the Waking Sands to court you. Though Minfilia does not seem best pleased by this turn of events, she concedes that joining a Grand Company would yield certain benefits. But which one will you choose? That you might make an informed decision, she suggests that you attend the forthcoming remembrance services and listen to each Grand Company leader's address. Tataru will be able to furnish you with the particulars."
2,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_02","Tataru has apprised you as to where the remembrance services are due to be held. Visit Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Gridania, the Royal Promenade in Ul'dah, and finally the Stateroom in Limsa Lominsa, and hear what the Grand Company leaders have to say."
3,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_03","You have now attended all three of the remembrance services. Based on the words of the Grand Company leaders and the traveling twins, Alphinaud and Alisaie, it would appear that each of Eorzea's citystates is beset with problems. Clearly, all three would benefit from your aid, but which of them deserves it most? Make your way back to the Waking Sands, and share your thoughts with Minfilia."
4,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_04","Minfilia confirms that all three citystates are sorely in need of assistance, and laments the fact that there is only one of you. A difficult choice awaits. Weigh your decision well, and give your answer to the officer of the Grand Company you would join."

72,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_34","Though I am quite sure you need no reminding, mayhap a brief summary of the situation would help to clarify your thoughts on this matter.

73,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_35","There are presently three such organizations in Eorzea: the Maelstrom of Limsa Lominsa, the Order of the Twin Adder of Gridania, and the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah."
74,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_36","Serving a Grand Company means serving the nation to which it belongs. You will be charged with its defense, and tasked with advancing its cause."

76,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_38","If you are agonizing over which of the Grand Companies best deserves your loyalty, be at ease─the commitment you make this day need not be permanent.

77,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_39","Ah! A thought occurs to me! You will, of course, recall that the three citystates are planning to hold remembrance services."
78,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_40","Well, as part of the proceedings, I am given to understand that the leader of each Grand Company will deliver an address."
79,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_41","Hearing these addresses ought to help you make an informed decision. What say you, my dear officers?"
80,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_42","A fine suggestion!"

84,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_46","I know full well that adventurers are by their nature a liberty-loving breed, and not best suited to the discipline of military service, but I strongly urge you to join a Grand Company nonetheless. While the promise of reward is enticing in itself, it is not the only benefit."
85,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_47","You are possessed of great power, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, and with it you are capable of doing untold good. Yet know that great power is wont to attract attention─not all of it friendly."
86,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_48","There will be those who wish you ill, and you must needs be on the lookout for them. Yet however vigilant you are, you are but one <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If>. In the midst of a Grand Company, however, you will be one <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> amongst many─a friend amongst friends. Your achievements will be shared, and so will the danger. I can think of no better arrangement."
87,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_49","Of course, joining one organization need not mean leaving another. I hope that we can continue to rely upon your aid─the Twelve know that we will have need of it in the days ahead."
88,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_50","The Grand Companies seek to protect their own nations. We Scions, on the other hand, seek to preserve the future of Eorzea as a whole. Similar, yet not quite the same."

98,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_61","Anyway, I expect you want to know where and when the remembrance services are taking place?"
99,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_62","If all goes to plan, Gridania's Grand Company, the Order of the Twin Adder, will hold the first of the three services, and Elder Seedseer KanESenna will deliver her address at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre."
100,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_63","I should probably mention at this point that due to the organizational challenges involved in assembling all of the involved parties, it's possible that the order of the services might change...

101,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_64","Next, you'll need to go to Ul'dah, where Flame General Raubahn Aldynn will be addressing the masses at the Royal Promenade. Oh, and it's rumored there's to be a special guest! How exciting."
102,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_65","Last but not least, you must make your way to the Stateroom in Limsa Lominsa, where Maelstrom Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn will be giving her address."
103,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_66","The room is accessible via the Admiral's Lift. Identify yourself to the sentry, Zanthael, and he will admit you. Got all that?"
104,"TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_67","Well, off you go, then. I hope you find the remembrance services suitably educational!

300 296 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701500_ALISAIE 299 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701530_ALPHINAUD The so-called “remembrance” ceremonies were little more than standard-waving rallies. Since you are so observant, mayhap you noticed what mention was made of the Warriors of Light? *None*.
301 297 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701510_ALISAIE 300 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701540_ALPHINAUD ...As though the Calamity and Seventh Umbral Era warranted scarcely a mention! I suppose they must have forgotten the heroes who spared Eorzea a fate worse than the Calamity?
302 298 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701520_ALPHINAUD 301 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701550_ALPHINAUD Well, of course they were “standard-waving rallies.” No, dear Alisaie, they haven't “forgotten” these details. They have elected to omit them.

Deep are the wounds the Calamity inflicted upon Eorzea. So deep, in fact, that the realm still bleeds.

305 301 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701550_ALPHINAUD 304 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701580_ALPHINAUD No, dear Alisaie, they haven't “forgotten” these details. They have elected to omit them. So the task of salving Eorzea's wounds falls to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn─with a little help from our friends the Grand Companies.
306 302 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701560_ALPHINAUD 305 TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701590_ALPHINAUD Deep are the wounds the Calamity inflicted upon Eorzea. So deep, in fact, that the realm still bleeds. Remembrance will yield no remedy. If our world is to heal, we must put the horrors of the Calamity behind us.
