1,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_01","Hoping to cover more ground, Artoirel suggests splitting up to speak with as many Garleans as possible. He asks you and Fourchenault to speak with the people at Victors' Spoils, while he and the Gridanian sentry carry out their inquiries at Liminal Station IV."
2,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_02","Fourchenault suspects the Garleans, having chosen frozen squalor over the comforts of camp, will not be amenable to conversation. Nevertheless, you must press on and speak with anyone willing to talk."
3,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_03","The Garleans have painted a rather grim picture of their lives, making it clear how their countrymen might succumb to despair. You go and speak with Fourchenault to see what he has learned, though you have little hope he has heard anything better."
4,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_04","There are no glad tidings to be had when you confer with Fourchenault. Before you can decide your next plan of action, however, a shrill cry in the distance interrupts your train of thought."
5,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_05","Following the sound of the scream, you happen upon one of the Garlean refugees. He tells you his comrade transformed into grisly horror and wandered off in the direction of the Tower of Babil. Fearing the worst, Fourchenault bids you give chase while he stays behind to account for all those who yet remain."
6,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_06","You find the wayward beast and slay it before anyone comes to harm. Fourchenault will be glad for the news."
7,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SEQ_07","Witnesses to the transformation noted that the man affected was listening to a radio which continues to play a strange, cryptic message. As you consider who could be sending this broadcast, you are soon joined by Aymeric, Merlwyb, Artoirel, and the Gridanian sentry. You listen to the radio together once more, and part of its message strikes a chord with the sentry─he recalls it being the mantra of Nerva yae Galvus of the IIIrd Legion. With this newfound information, Fourchenault is now convinced that Nerva is the blasphemy they are searching for.

Before long, the group's attention turns to the more immediate concern of the Garlean refugees. Though reluctant at first, they are soon convinced to discuss forming an interim governing body, as well as the possibility of rebuilding Garlemald or immigrating to Sharlayan. The Grand Company leaders have much to think about, affording you the opportunity to rest until there is new word of the blasphemy."

49,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_100_001","Locus Amoenus suffered greatly in the wake of the Final Days─'tis only natural they would have sought shelter at the capital. I can but imagine their horror upon arrival..."

58,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_PRICKLYRETURNEE_000_023","Or so we thought. Calamity was visited upon us for reasons we know not, and when we thought to flee, it followed on our heels to Garlemald. Ruin and ash at every turn..."

61,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_026","It was a land of warmth and bounty. The Corvosi rebellion, admittedly, proved troublesome for a time, but it didn't take long for the IInd Legion to quell their uprising. You could practically drown in the calm and quiet."
62,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_027","And then one day the skies came alive with flame. We were overrun by all manner of foul beasts born of our brothers and sisters. The IInd Legion barely had time to assemble their forces before they were overrun and snuffed out. We barely escaped with our lives."
63,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_028","But we were greeted only with more wrack and ruin on our arrival here, and we've not the strength to take our home back from the Corvosi a second time... There's nothing left for us anywhere."

69,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_041","I see. I heard much of the same."
70,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_042","The military forces of Locus Amoenus were defeated in the wake of the Final Days. Desperate to survive, they naturally fled to Garlemald seeking sanctuary."
71,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_043","It was their hope the might of the Empire would allow them to reclaim the home they were forced to abandon... But the capital was already in ruin when they arrived. "
72,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_044","Needless to say, the lands they have long believed to be the ancestral home of the Garlean people may remain forever lost to them."
73,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_045","Those unfamiliar with history would believe they have always resided in the bitter cold climes of northern Ilsabard, but that was only after the Corvosi invaded eight hundred years prior."
74,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_046","With the advent of magitek, I imagine it was all too easy for Emperor Solus to rally his people and take back what they believed to be rightfully theirs."
75,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_047","Yet history would tell us true─that the land they call Locus Amoenus has been known by other names, and served as home to myriad peoples."
76,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_048","Indeed, one need only look back to the Allagans' reign in the Third Astral Era to give the lie to Garlean claims of sovereignty."
77,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_049","Yet even had they such ancestral ties to Locus Amoenus, antecedence cannot justify their animosity to foreign peoples."
78,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_050","Animosity poorly veiled by delusions of justice, as has been the case for so many nations throughout history. Would that man had the sense and strength of will to break free from such chains of hatred."

84,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_062","No one appears to be injured... Did he not attack?"
85,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_PRICKLYRETURNEE_000_063","He just walked off in the direction of the tower. In a daze, as if it was calling to him."
86,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_064","He could not have gone far. If you would go after him, I will remain here and see that all are accounted for."
87,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_PRICKLYRETURNEE_000_070","Have we not suffered enough...?"
88,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_071","I will see to matters here. Go and find that beast before it can reach the tower."
89,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_080","The beast is slain, then. Thank the heavens..."
90,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_081","For a blessing, no others have turned, and a measure of calm has been restored, if only for the moment."
91,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_100_081","Witnesses were able to offer a clue as to the source of the transformation. They claim the afflicted was listening to this radio."
92,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_100_082","Even now it continues to play the same, cryptic message."

94,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_SYSTEM_000_083","Though distorted by radio static, you can hear a voice saying “The Empire is no more. Never again shall it rise from the ashes.”"
95,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_084","But how is this possible? There are no facilities left standing that could possibly deliver a broadcast."
96,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_Q1_000_000","What will you say?"
97,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_A1_000_001","Anima was capable of sending such a message."
98,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_A1_000_002","The last time this happened, the signal came from the Tower of Babil."
99,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_085","Be that as it may, Anima is no more, and the Tower of Babil has fallen into disrepair. By your hand, no less."
100,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_086","Which begs the question: who─or perhaps, what─could be behind this?"
101,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_ARTOIREL_000_087","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Master Fourchenault. A moment, if you would."
102,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_ARTOIREL_000_088","Shortly after we finished our inquiry at Liminal Station IV, Lord Aymeric and Admiral Merlwyb arrived, and requested an audience."
103,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_AYMERIC_000_089","Apologies for our late arrival. Knowing firsthand the devastation of which blasphemies are capable, I discussed the matter with the Admiral, and we were of one mind that the situation warranted our immediate presence."
104,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_MERLWYB_000_090","Is it safe to presume a representative of the survey team has already arrived?"
105,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_091","Indeed I have. Thank you for coming all this way on such short notice."
106,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_092","Recent events here at the camp have proved most enlightening."

109,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_AYMERIC_000_094","A harsh reminder of their misfortune. Sufficient to push some wayward few over the edge, it would seem."
110,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_MERLWYB_100_094","Yet there still remains the question of who is sending this message, and from where."

114,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_KEEPEROFTHEENTWINEDSERPENTS_000_097","A mantra often spoken by Lord Nerva. Anyone who lived in the provinces under his authority could scarcely forget those words."
115,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_MERLWYB_000_098","He sought to claim the throne after the assassination of Emperor Varis, did he not?"

121,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_101","I do. And as it was with Anima, these radios are somehow attuned to whatever signal it emits from the tower."
122,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_102","What's more, I believe the true identity of the blasphemy is Nerva. Robbed of the throne, and forced to watch the Empire he longed to command crumble before his very eyes... If such loss did not drive him to the same fate as Quintus, the despair he felt no doubt overcame and turned him."

124,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_104","Not as the man he once was, but as a blasphemy. Robbed of the throne, and forced to watch the Empire he longed to command crumble before his very eyes... If such loss did not drive him to the same fate as Quintus, the despair he felt no doubt overcame and turned him."
125,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_MERLWYB_000_105","Nerva's delusions of grandeur aside, the Garleans' plight sounds not unlike the Sahagin, desperate to preserve their spawning grounds."
126,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_AYMERIC_000_106","Indeed. Though unscrupulous by any measure, the Garleans found solidarity in their ideology, as did the people of Ishgard in the church. Adrift without home or purpose, it is all too easy for despair to take hold."
127,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_MERLWYB_000_107","Would that a remedy were as simple as offering them land as we did the Sahagin."
128,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_108","In all likelihood, the Garleans would refuse to settle for aught less than what they believe to be their ancestral homeland of Locus Amoenus, a claim the Corvosi would readily take arms to denounce. We would do well not to further fan the flames of animosity 'twixt them."
129,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_AYMERIC_000_109","Then perhaps, at the very least, we can offer them peace of mind, and a means to regain some semblance of stability in their lives. "

133,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_AYMERIC_000_110","By no means an easy solution, but perhaps the only one worthy of pursuit. Of course, this new Garlemald must remain a sovereign nation, free from the oversight of others."
134,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_AYMERIC_000_111","'Tis by no means an easy solution, but I fear we have little recourse but to see Garlemald rebuilt. As a sovereign nation, of course─free from the oversight of others."

137,"TEXT_AKTKBZ002_04580_FOURCHENAULT_000_114","Rather than a single individual, perhaps a governing body of sorts would prove more effective."
