1,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_01","Lord Francel rejoices at your return, and cheerfully regales you with the latest tidings regarding the continued restoration and development of the Firmament. As the young nobleman tells it, his newest goal is to transform the district into a new hub of trade befitting this new age in which Ishgard has opened itself to the world. To that end, he seeks to visit the three nations in hopes of enticing prominent merchants and traders to enter into a mutually profitable business partnership. No sooner has he asked for your escort than you are joined by none other than Count Charlemend de Durendaire, who imperiously insists that he join you on your expedition. Apprehensive but cautiously optimistic as to what lies ahead, you set off for the Carline Canopy in Gridania to join Francel and the count."
2,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_02","You reconvene with Lord Francel and Lord Charlemend in Gridania. No sooner have you greeted your companions than does the Count de Durendaire rush off to engage the local populace, confident that the prestige and influence of his great house will suffice to make the trade negotiations a swift success. Lord Francel, for his part, is skeptical of this approach, and the two of you resolve to pursue the count, lest he unintentionally sabotage the mission at hand."
3,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_03","You venture out into the streets of Gridania to find that Lord Charlemend has managed only to incur the ire of the townspeople with his pompous, overbearing attitude. Fearing the consequences if the Count de Durendaire presses on with his heavy-handed approach, Lord Francel calmly and diplomatically suggests that the three of you regroup and try your luck at one of the many artisan guilds for which the forest city-state is known, a proposal to which Lord Charlemend grudgingly agrees."
4,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_04","You arrive at the Leatherworkers' Guild, where Lord Francel's more measured approach immediately proves to bear fruit, thanks in large part to a fortuitous meeting with a mercenary-turned-merchant who plied his former trade at Camp Dragonhead during the war. The young man instantly recognizes Lord Francel, and─after sharing a moment's reminiscence about the beloved, departed Lord Haurchefant─eagerly offers to aid your cause by introducing you to his employer, Maisenta of the prestigious Black Rabbit Traders. Overjoyed at this turn of events, Lord Francel thanks the former swordsman, and prepares to welcome his potential new trading partner as the Count de Durendaire grumbles and grouses beside you."
5,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_05","Though Maisenta is initially skeptical of what she and her organization stand to gain from expanding their business to Ishgard, you are successfully able to argue on Lord Francel's behalf, convincing the shrewd trader that the arrangement promises to be lucrative for both parties. Offering a verbal agreement to prepare a shipment of wares to grace the Firmament's markets, she takes her leave to begin the necessary preparations. Encouraged by your success in Gridania, Lord Francel is eager to move on to your next destination. The Count de Durendaire, on the other hand, appears keen to prove that this was but a case of novice's luck..."

49,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_001","In particular, I'm proud to say that we have spared no effort to realize Lady Hilda's ideal of a place where one and all can have a roof over their head and food in their belly, provided they are willing to work hard and make an honest living."
50,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_002","Seeing as things are progressing most swimmingly on that front, I have decided to turn my eye to Lord Briardien's most astute recommendation: encouraging the flow of goods and services, so as to build a thriving economy that will serve as the area's lifeblood."
51,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_100_002","As such, Augebert and his men have been hard at work putting the final touches on the ward I have dubbed Featherfall, which is to serve as the Firmament's center of commerce and trade. There is but one remaining issue to resolve..."
52,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_003","Namely, how we might distinguish our own marketplace from the Jeweled Crozier. After all, if we hope to attract vendors and customers alike to the Firmament, we must offer something that they cannot already find at a more established location."

55,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_006","After giving the matter considerable thought, it struck me─what if we were to bring in merchants from the realm over to ply their trade here, that Featherfall might be the Holy See's new hub of foreign trade?"
56,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_007","It is a most inspired idea, would you not say? And─if you would not disapprove─I would ask <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> to accompany me as our designated emissary to the three city–states. After all, who better to convince our esteemed guests to make the journey here to Ishgard than one of your influence and prestige?"

59,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_010","It is far from my place to object, but for whatever reason would the Count de Durendaire wish to come along on our humble expedition? Particularly in light of your honored house's rather...shall we say, <Emphasis>conservative</Emphasis>...views toward the expansion of foreign trade..."
60,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_011","I'll thank you not to make assumptions about the interests of my house, <Emphasis>Lord</Emphasis> Francel. I have always acted in what I believe to be my homeland's best interests. And I will <Emphasis>continue</Emphasis> to do so."
61,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_012","Mayhap House Durendaire did not give the warmest of welcomes to outsiders at the Observatorium and Whitebrim Front..."
62,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_013","But I assure you that we took only the necessary precautions to defend the See from external threats at a time of war. Surely the savior of Ishgard can understand our position."
63,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_014","At any rate, the war is over, and our nation has entered a new age. I am not inclined to sit idly by as House Durendaire is left behind the times."
64,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_015","And yet, at this most vital of junctures, my son and heir remains lost at sea, and my cousins are either too young or unworldly for the task. And so it falls to me to see to matters myself."
65,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_016","I daresay there is some merit for you as well. After all, whatever negotiations you intend to conduct, they can only be aided by the presence of the head of Ishgard's highest of High Houses."
66,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_100_016","...I trust you have no objections?"
67,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_017","Your offer of assistance is most generous, Lord Charlemend. I would not dream of refusing it."
68,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_018","Of course not. We depart at once, yes? I've heard Gridania is most lovely at this time of year. "
69,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_019","Y-Yes...my intention was always to begin our expedition at our closest neighbor. I have it on good word that an establishment there known as the Carline Canopy would be a suitable─"
70,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_020","The Carline Canopy it is, then. Do take care not to lag behind, yes?"
71,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_021","L-Lord Charlemend! Wait!"
72,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_030","...So this is Gridania. The tomes fail to mention how disagreeably dank it is."
73,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FONCRINEAU_000_035","While I understand that Lord Francel has only the happiness and well-being of our residents in mind, sometimes I cannot help but fear he is exerting himself overmuch. In that sense, I am most thankful for your tireless support of his cause."
74,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FONCRINEAU_000_038","Ah, if it isn't good <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Lord Francel was hoping that you might grace us with a visit. I hear that there is a matter he wishes to discuss with you. If you do not have more pressing obligations, pray lend him your ear."
75,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_040","...So this is Gridania! Why, it is even more verdant and lush than I had imagined!"
76,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_041","Hmph. A danker, gloomier city I can scarce imagine. I am glad I do not live here."
77,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_042","...And yet, this nation is home to a great number of our own kind. Convincing an Elezen trader or two to come to Ishgard will be done in less than the time it takes for an afternoon tea."
78,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_043","To start, I will enlist the services of one of the locals. Feel free to come along, Lord Francel─mayhap you'll learn something."
79,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_044","W-Wait...Lord Charlemend!"
80,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_046","Oh dear, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. This is precisely what I was afraid of!"
81,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_047","I did some research before our departure. No doubt this is common knowledge to you, but I read that Gridanians are reserved types who do not warm easily to outsiders─if perhaps not to the degree of our own people."
82,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_048","I fear the count─for all his good intentions─might sour the local populace on our offer before we can even make it. Come, we must stop him!"
83,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_050","Phew! Fortunately, it would seem he has yet to engage the townspeople..."
84,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANCITIZEN03955_000_055","Hm? Who are you, and what business have you here?"
85,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_060","You there. I am looking to speak with one of your nation's most prominent traders. Tell me where I might find such a person, and be quick about it─I'm a busy man."
86,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANCITIZEN03955_000_061","Hm? I'm not in the habit of entertaining outsiders─rude, arrogant ones least of all. Bugger off and do it yourself!"
87,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_062","What!? Why, the sheer <Emphasis>gall</Emphasis> of that woman!"
88,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_063","With all due respect, Lord Charlemend...we are guests in this land. Just as you and I were once wary of outsiders like good <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here, so, too, are these people wary of us."
89,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_064","In the world outside the Holy See, our titles or the prestige of our houses will avail us no special privilege. Mayhap it would behoove us to conduct our affairs with a measure of humility..."
90,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_065","...But I fear we have already aroused the suspicion of the townspeople. Let us try our luck at another location...mayhap one of the guilds for which this place is so well known?"
91,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_066","Hmph. A guild, you say? Very well. Let us stop blithering and be off."
92,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_070","If I recall, the Leatherworkers' Guild is in the part of town known as Old Gridania. Would that be correct, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>?"
93,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_075","If you know the way to this guild, then let us be off already, yes? The sooner we can take our leave of this place, the better, I say."
94,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_080","Yes, this place seems rather lively. No doubt we can find someone willing to assist us here."
95,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_081","I beg your pardon, my esteemed sir! I am a humble visitor from Ishgard, and I was wondering if I might trouble you with a question or two."
96,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_082","Hm? What's that, now?"
97,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_083","Wait... Can it be...Lord Francel? Hah, it <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> you! Whatever brings you to the Twelveswood?"
98,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_084","What? Pray forgive me, I do not believe I have had the pleasure..."
99,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_085","You wouldn't know me, but I sure know you. During the war, I plied my trade as a sellsword at Camp Dragonhead. You often came to dine at Lord Haurchefant's invitation, yes?"
100,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_086","Why...that I did! Lord Haurchefant was a most benevolent man. There were few things he enjoyed more than sharing a good meal in the company of his friends and his men alike."
101,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_087","Aye, and I was one of them. I fondly remember the times I sat at his table, sharing in his meat and mead. In the warmth of his hall and his company, for a moment you could forget the bitter cold outside."
102,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_088","It's a memory that's stayed with me to this day, long after I returned to Gridania and hung up my blade. Lord Haurchefant was a great man, and I had hoped to return to Ishgard one day to visit him."
103,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_089","But then the news of his tragic passing arrived... Even now, I find it hard to believe he's gone."
104,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_090","I as well, my friend. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him, and the kindness he showed me in the darkest of days..."
105,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_091","And though I will forever mourn his passing, I take solace in knowing that his sacrifice was not for naught. For because of those like him─and <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here─the war is at long last over, and our nation welcomes a new age of enlightenment and restoration."
106,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_092","So it is that we come here to fair Gridania, in hopes of establishing trade that will benefit both our nations. Might you perhaps know of any merchants or traders who might be interested in exploring such a possibility?"
107,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_094","Do I ever! And nothing would please me more than to be able to return the kindness that your countrymen showed me!"
108,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_095","It just so happens that I do work for Black Rabbit Traders these days. Perhaps you've heard of them? Maisenta's in charge there, and she's always looking for promising new business partners! Just wait here─I'll bring her right over!"
109,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_096","My good man, it is as if the gods themselves sent you to us! If she does not mind the imposition, I would be honored to meet this Lady Maisenta!"
110,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_100","I had known that Lord Haurchefant was undiscerning in the company he kept, but to think that it would be to the benefit of our nation..."
111,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_110","I trust that you've met this Lady Maisenta, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? Do you suppose she'll be receptive to our offer?"
112,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_111","So you're the guest from Ishgard I've heard so much about. I am Maisenta, of Black Rabbit Traders fame. I hear you have a business proposition for me?"
113,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_112","It is a pleasure and an honor both to make your acquaintance, Lady Maisenta. I am Francel de Haillenarte, and I have the privilege of overseeing the reconstruction of our fair city, a task which includes building a thriving economy."
114,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_113","To that end, I wish to invite the realm's preeminent trading concerns to establish outposts in our new commercial district. If it please you, will you not consider bringing your operations to Ishgard?"
115,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_114","I'd heard that you Ishgardians opened your borders, but quite frankly, I wasn't expecting to receive such an eager and enthusiastic proposition."
116,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_115","...And it's an interesting one, I'll grant you that. Still, as much as I'd like to be of aid, I run a business here, not a charity."
117,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_116","And so I'm forced to ask: why should I expand to Ishgard? What do you offer that other places do not?"
118,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_117","A well-founded concern, of course... Be assured that our nation offers businesses many opportunities. For example...er..."
119,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_Q1_000_000","What will you say?"
120,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_A1_000_001","You'll have immediate access to the finest Ishgardian wares."
121,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_A1_000_002","Ishgardian nobles are notorious spendthrifts..."
122,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_A1_000_003","Picture it now: the Homunculi tour the Holy See."
123,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_118","Now that you mention it, I daresay that Ishgardian furs and fine cuisine could command a high price here in Gridania..."
124,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_119","Now that you mention it, if the well-heeled aristocrats of the High Houses are willing to open their coinpurses for Gridanian craftsmanship, it could prove quite profitable..."
125,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_120","Well, aren't you a shrewd one! Yes, I have no doubt that the mellifluous musical stylings of Gridania's preeminent band of troubadours would serve to lift the spirits of our Ishgardian friends in the aftermath of the war─and loosen the strings of their coinpurses in the process."
126,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_121","All right...<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here's convinced me. The Black Rabbit will come to Ishgard."

128,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_123","You can spare me the flowery words. I'm only looking out for my own business interests...as I trust you are as well, no?"
129,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_124","In any event, I'd best be going. We'll have to take a full inventory to determine which of our fine goods to bring north. As they say, the Traders do not smile on those who tarry..."
130,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_125","Oh, thank you ever so much, my friend! I could never have done this without you!"
131,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_126","Lady Maisenta's question was only to be expected, yet I found myself at a loss. Your impeccable knowledge of the realm and calmness under pressure have served us well once more."
132,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_127","...Hmph. You have succeeded here despite the involvement of Houses Haillenarte and Fortemps, not because of it."
133,"TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_128","The citizens of the sultanate are far more discerning, but fear not. I will show you how negotiations among the upper crust are truly done."

To that end, he seeks to visit the three nations in hopes of enticing prominent merchants and traders to enter into a mutually profitable business partnership. No sooner has he asked for your escort than you are joined by none other than Count Charlemend de Durendaire, who imperiously insists that he join you on your expedition.

9 5 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_05 Though Maisenta is initially skeptical of what she and her organization stand to gain from expanding their business to Ishgard, you are successfully able to argue on Lord Francel's behalf, convincing the shrewd trader that the arrangement promises to be lucrative for both parties. Offering a verbal agreement to prepare a shipment of wares to grace the Firmament's markets, she takes her leave to begin the necessary preparations. Encouraged by your success in Gridania, Lord Francel is eager to move on to your next destination. The Count de Durendaire, on the other hand, appears keen to prove that this was but a case of novice's luck...

You'll be pleased to hear that the district is home to an ever-growing number of thoroughly satisfied residents, thanks in no small part to your tireless efforts on our behalf.
53 49 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_001 In particular, I'm proud to say that we have spared no effort to realize Lady Hilda's ideal of a place where one and all can have a roof over their head and food in their belly, provided they are willing to work hard and make an honest living.
54 50 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_002 Seeing as things are progressing most swimmingly on that front, I have decided to turn my eye to Lord Briardien's most astute recommendation: encouraging the flow of goods and services, so as to build a thriving economy that will serve as the area's lifeblood.
55 51 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_100_002 As such, Augebert and his men have been hard at work putting the final touches on the ward I have dubbed Featherfall, which is to serve as the Firmament's center of commerce and trade. There is but one remaining issue to resolve...
56 52 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_003 Namely, how we might distinguish our own marketplace from the Jeweled Crozier. After all, if we hope to attract vendors and customers alike to the Firmament, we must offer something that they cannot already find at a more established location.

60 56 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_007 It is a most inspired idea, would you not say? And─if you would not disapprove─I would ask <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> to accompany me as our designated emissary to the three city–states. After all, who better to convince our esteemed guests to make the journey here to Ishgard than one of your influence and prestige?

63 59 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_010 It is far from my place to object, but for whatever reason would the Count de Durendaire wish to come along on our humble expedition? Particularly in light of your honored house's rather...shall we say, <Emphasis>conservative</Emphasis>...views toward the expansion of foreign trade...
64 60 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_011 I'll thank you not to make assumptions about the interests of my house, <Emphasis>Lord</Emphasis> Francel. I have always acted in what I believe to be my homeland's best interests. And I will <Emphasis>continue</Emphasis> to do so.
65 61 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_012 Mayhap House Durendaire did not give the warmest of welcomes to outsiders at the Observatorium and Whitebrim Front...
66 62 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_013 But I assure you that we took only the necessary precautions to defend the See from external threats at a time of war. Surely the savior of Ishgard can understand our position.
67 63 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_014 At any rate, the war is over, and our nation has entered a new age. I am not inclined to sit idly by as House Durendaire is left behind the times.
68 64 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_015 And yet, at this most vital of junctures, my son and heir remains lost at sea, and my cousins are either too young or unworldly for the task. And so it falls to me to see to matters myself.
69 65 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_016 I daresay there is some merit for you as well. After all, whatever negotiations you intend to conduct, they can only be aided by the presence of the head of Ishgard's highest of High Houses.
70 66 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_100_016 ...I trust you have no objections?
71 67 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_017 Your offer of assistance is most generous, Lord Charlemend. I would not dream of refusing it.
72 68 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_018 Of course not. We depart at once, yes? I've heard Gridania is most lovely at this time of year.
73 69 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_019 Y-Yes...my intention was always to begin our expedition at our closest neighbor. I have it on good word that an establishment there known as the Carline Canopy would be a suitable─
74 70 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_020 The Carline Canopy it is, then. Do take care not to lag behind, yes?

76 72 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_030 ...So this is Gridania. The tomes fail to mention how disagreeably dank it is.
77 73 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FONCRINEAU_000_035 While I understand that Lord Francel has only the happiness and well-being of our residents in mind, sometimes I cannot help but fear he is exerting himself overmuch. In that sense, I am most thankful for your tireless support of his cause.

Lord Francel was hoping that you might grace us with a visit. I hear that there is a matter he wishes to discuss with you. If you do not have more pressing obligations, pray lend him your ear.
79 75 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_040 ...So this is Gridania! Why, it is even more verdant and lush than I had imagined!
80 76 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_041 Hmph. A danker, gloomier city I can scarce imagine. I am glad I do not live here.
81 77 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_042 ...And yet, this nation is home to a great number of our own kind. Convincing an Elezen trader or two to come to Ishgard will be done in less than the time it takes for an afternoon tea.
82 78 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_043 To start, I will enlist the services of one of the locals. Feel free to come along, Lord Francel─mayhap you'll learn something.
83 79 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_044 W-Wait...Lord Charlemend!
84 80 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_046 Oh dear, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. This is precisely what I was afraid of!
85 81 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_047 I did some research before our departure. No doubt this is common knowledge to you, but I read that Gridanians are reserved types who do not warm easily to outsiders─if perhaps not to the degree of our own people.
86 82 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_048 I fear the count─for all his good intentions─might sour the local populace on our offer before we can even make it. Come, we must stop him!
87 83 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_050 Phew! Fortunately, it would seem he has yet to engage the townspeople...
88 84 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANCITIZEN03955_000_055 Hm? Who are you, and what business have you here?
89 85 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_060 You there. I am looking to speak with one of your nation's most prominent traders. Tell me where I might find such a person, and be quick about it─I'm a busy man.
90 86 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANCITIZEN03955_000_061 Hm? I'm not in the habit of entertaining outsiders─rude, arrogant ones least of all. Bugger off and do it yourself!
91 87 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_062 What!? Why, the sheer <Emphasis>gall</Emphasis> of that woman!
92 88 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_063 With all due respect, Lord Charlemend...we are guests in this land. Just as you and I were once wary of outsiders like good <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here, so, too, are these people wary of us.
93 89 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_064 In the world outside the Holy See, our titles or the prestige of our houses will avail us no special privilege. Mayhap it would behoove us to conduct our affairs with a measure of humility...
94 90 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_065 ...But I fear we have already aroused the suspicion of the townspeople. Let us try our luck at another location...mayhap one of the guilds for which this place is so well known?
95 91 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_066 Hmph. A guild, you say? Very well. Let us stop blithering and be off.
96 92 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_070 If I recall, the Leatherworkers' Guild is in the part of town known as Old Gridania. Would that be correct, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>?
97 93 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_075 If you know the way to this guild, then let us be off already, yes? The sooner we can take our leave of this place, the better, I say.
98 94 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_080 Yes, this place seems rather lively. No doubt we can find someone willing to assist us here.
99 95 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_081 I beg your pardon, my esteemed sir! I am a humble visitor from Ishgard, and I was wondering if I might trouble you with a question or two.
100 96 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_082 Hm? What's that, now?
101 97 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_083 Wait... Can it be...Lord Francel? Hah, it <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> you! Whatever brings you to the Twelveswood?
102 98 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_084 What? Pray forgive me, I do not believe I have had the pleasure...
103 99 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_085 You wouldn't know me, but I sure know you. During the war, I plied my trade as a sellsword at Camp Dragonhead. You often came to dine at Lord Haurchefant's invitation, yes?
104 100 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_086 Why...that I did! Lord Haurchefant was a most benevolent man. There were few things he enjoyed more than sharing a good meal in the company of his friends and his men alike.
105 101 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_087 Aye, and I was one of them. I fondly remember the times I sat at his table, sharing in his meat and mead. In the warmth of his hall and his company, for a moment you could forget the bitter cold outside.
106 102 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_088 It's a memory that's stayed with me to this day, long after I returned to Gridania and hung up my blade. Lord Haurchefant was a great man, and I had hoped to return to Ishgard one day to visit him.
107 103 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_089 But then the news of his tragic passing arrived... Even now, I find it hard to believe he's gone.
108 104 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_090 I as well, my friend. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him, and the kindness he showed me in the darkest of days...
109 105 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_091 And though I will forever mourn his passing, I take solace in knowing that his sacrifice was not for naught. For because of those like him─and <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here─the war is at long last over, and our nation welcomes a new age of enlightenment and restoration.
110 106 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_092 So it is that we come here to fair Gridania, in hopes of establishing trade that will benefit both our nations. Might you perhaps know of any merchants or traders who might be interested in exploring such a possibility?
111 107 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_094 Do I ever! And nothing would please me more than to be able to return the kindness that your countrymen showed me!
112 108 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_095 It just so happens that I do work for Black Rabbit Traders these days. Perhaps you've heard of them? Maisenta's in charge there, and she's always looking for promising new business partners! Just wait here─I'll bring her right over!
113 109 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_096 My good man, it is as if the gods themselves sent you to us! If she does not mind the imposition, I would be honored to meet this Lady Maisenta!
114 110 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_100 I had known that Lord Haurchefant was undiscerning in the company he kept, but to think that it would be to the benefit of our nation...
115 111 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_110 I trust that you've met this Lady Maisenta, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? Do you suppose she'll be receptive to our offer?
116 112 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_111 So you're the guest from Ishgard I've heard so much about. I am Maisenta, of Black Rabbit Traders fame. I hear you have a business proposition for me?
117 113 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_112 It is a pleasure and an honor both to make your acquaintance, Lady Maisenta. I am Francel de Haillenarte, and I have the privilege of overseeing the reconstruction of our fair city, a task which includes building a thriving economy.
118 114 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_113 To that end, I wish to invite the realm's preeminent trading concerns to establish outposts in our new commercial district. If it please you, will you not consider bringing your operations to Ishgard?
119 115 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_114 I'd heard that you Ishgardians opened your borders, but quite frankly, I wasn't expecting to receive such an eager and enthusiastic proposition.
120 116 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_115 ...And it's an interesting one, I'll grant you that. Still, as much as I'd like to be of aid, I run a business here, not a charity.
121 117 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_116 And so I'm forced to ask: why should I expand to Ishgard? What do you offer that other places do not?
122 118 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_117 A well-founded concern, of course... Be assured that our nation offers businesses many opportunities. For example...er...

124 120 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_A1_000_001 You'll have immediate access to the finest Ishgardian wares.

127 123 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_118 Now that you mention it, I daresay that Ishgardian furs and fine cuisine could command a high price here in Gridania...
128 124 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_119 Now that you mention it, if the well-heeled aristocrats of the High Houses are willing to open their coinpurses for Gridanian craftsmanship, it could prove quite profitable...
129 125 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_120 Well, aren't you a shrewd one! Yes, I have no doubt that the mellifluous musical stylings of Gridania's preeminent band of troubadours would serve to lift the spirits of our Ishgardian friends in the aftermath of the war─and loosen the strings of their coinpurses in the process.
130 126 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_121 All right...<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here's convinced me. The Black Rabbit will come to Ishgard.

132 128 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_123 You can spare me the flowery words. I'm only looking out for my own business interests...as I trust you are as well, no?
133 129 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_MAISENTA_000_124 In any event, I'd best be going. We'll have to take a full inventory to determine which of our fine goods to bring north. As they say, the Traders do not smile on those who tarry...
134 130 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_125 Oh, thank you ever so much, my friend! I could never have done this without you!
135 131 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_126 Lady Maisenta's question was only to be expected, yet I found myself at a loss. Your impeccable knowledge of the realm and calmness under pressure have served us well once more.
136 132 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_127 ...Hmph. You have succeeded here despite the involvement of Houses Haillenarte and Fortemps, not because of it.
137 133 TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_128 The citizens of the sultanate are far more discerning, but fear not. I will show you how negotiations among the upper crust are truly done.
