※This quest is available for a limited time only."
1,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_01","Amh Garanjy, celebrated Starlight celebrant, introduces you to Laurenssen, an associate professor visiting from Sharlayan. As a dignified scholar of folklore, Laurenssen enlists your help in preparing an experiment that he hopes will prove the origin story of reindeer symbolism─the Ghost of Starlight Present, a mystical illusion summoned by reindeer to bring joy to the hearts of children. Laurenssen sends you off to gather a crowd of children, while Blitzen, the reindeer at the crux of this operation, blinks balefully, seemingly less than enthusiastic...

2,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_02","Despite asking various children to come and see your magical reindeer, you end up with only a single taker. Reflecting upon where you might have gone wrong, you head back to Laurenssen."
3,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_03","Laurenssen is disgruntled by the notable lack of rosy-cheeked cherubs, but decides to try the experiment nonetheless. It ends in abject failure and literal tears, which Laurenssen temporarily excuses himself to dab. You listen to the soothing sounds of Apkallu Falls and wait for his return as you contemplate the finer points of mortal existence."
4,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_04","No matter how long you wait, Laurenssen fails to return. A lesser <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> would simply abandon him to his misery, but no─this is the season of generosity, and you are a greater <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If>. You set off towards the Greatloam Growery and the distinctive sound of messy sniffling."
5,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_05","Laurenssen admits that he has been reflecting upon where he might have gone wrong, and has arrived at the conclusion that the children of Gridania were not inspiring enough for his reindeer─who is notably absent. Realizing his companion is no longer blinking balefully beside him─or anywhere, for that matter─Laurenssen rushes off. You remind yourself that you are a champion of the people, and follow him before he trips and hurts himself."
6,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_06","To say Laurenssen is worried would be to adopt the sort of understatement favored by used-airship salesmen and politicians. Visibly shaking with the horror of losing his only true companion, Laurenssen vows to find his darling Blitzen, but it is painfully evident he will need a touch of courage from an adventurer's heart before he is fit enough to try..."

55,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_006","Now then, adventurer─without further ado, let us see how knowledgeable you are. Tell me, what creature symbolizes the Starlight Celebration?"
56,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_Q1_000_000","What will you say?"
57,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_000","Reindeer!"
58,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_001","Bear!"
59,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_002","Yeeeeeeti!"
60,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_003","I refuse to answer."
61,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_007","An easy question, was it not? I apologize if I insulted your intelligence─indeed, the answer is “reindeer.”"
62,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_008","Bear? Do you...have a personal affinity for bears, perhaps? Regardless, the correct answer is “reindeer.”"
63,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_009","Yeeeeee...? Oh, you mean “yeti.”
...Yeti!? Why on earth would such a bloodthirsty beast symbolize the Starlight Celebration!? The correct answer is “reindeer”!"
64,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_010","Not on account of ignorance, surely, as even the most feeble-minded could provide a serviceable guess. But I suppose I can enlighten you, nonetheless─the answer is “reindeer.”"
65,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_010","From gifts to garb, Starlight parapernalia is often emblazeoned with or designed in the image of these noble creatures."
66,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_011","Now for my second question─<Emphasis>when</Emphasis> was this symbolism incorporated into the Starlight Celebration?"
67,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_012","When? You mean to say it was not always so?"
68,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_012","No indeed! Any mention of reindeer is conspicuously absent from the original Ishgardian tales of Starlight. So I ask again─whence and wherefore did the reindeer call?"
69,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_013","I have spent many a dedicated moon researching these perplexing quandaries, and finally, in a Coerthan tome of arcane origin, I discovered testimony of a phenomenon most queer─to wit, the Ghost of Starlight Present!"
70,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_013","It is said that reindeer in possession of these magicks would conjure mysterious illusions of gifts and whimsy to delight young hearts during the winter season."
71,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_014","Surely it was the selfless procurement of these phantoms that earned reindeer their Starlight celebrity─and so I have come to Gridania with Blitzen in order to definitively prove the veracity of my claims!"

73,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_016","Oh! So Blitzen is the sort of reindeer that can conjure the Ghost of Starlight Present?"
74,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_017","Yes, Blitzen is of an endangered pedigree, currently protected within Labyrinthos as we continue our research. Typically, their ability to weave optical illusions is used as a precaution against would-be predators."
75,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_018","Yes, Blitzen is of an endangered pedigree, currently protected within Sharlayan as we continue our research. Typically, their ability to weave optical illusions is used as a precaution against would-be predators."
76,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_020","However, it is my belief that this very line of reindeer are those mentioned in the testimony I found, making Blitzen one of the few remaining successors of his bloodline's traditions."
77,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_021","Once he recreates the Ghost of Starlight Present with his unique capabilities, my erstwhile theories will become immovable fact! It shall be a singular triumph in the history of folklore!"
78,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_022","...However, no matter how rationally I have explained this to him, he has yet to produce any phantoms, whimsical or otherwise. Which is why I thought it best to recreate with complete accuracy the circumstances under which his progenitors once thrived."
79,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_023","I welcome anything that would bring cheer to our sweet children! My duties bind me here, but I believe our adventurer friend here will prove a most capable assistant. "
80,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_024","Quite! Your, er, face and general demeanor tell me you are a perfect candidate for the task I have in store. Can I rely on your efforts?"
81,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_025","Splendid. Posterity shall thank you. Now then, your role is a simple-yet-crucial one─gather up as many children as you can, and then bring them to me anon."
82,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_026","I shall be at Apkallu Falls, making the necessary preparations upon Blitzen. We await your triumphant arrival!"
83,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_100_026","A good place to start may well be the path from the markets to the Lancer's Guild. I daresay many a youngling will be out gazing starry-eyed at the shops and decorations."
84,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_027","Thank you for helping Laurenssen in his noble endeavor. If I spot any interested darlings, I shall send them your way!"
85,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_028","There, there! That's a good lad. You'll show us the Ghost of Starlight Present this time, yes?"

87,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDA04658_000_030","A reindeer making ghosts!? I-I'm not scared or anything, but..."
88,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDA04658_000_031","A-Actually, I just rememebered! I promised my mum I'd help her with the Starlight decorations, so...maybe next time!"

94,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_060","Welcome back, adventurer! I trust you were able to assemble a crowd of rosy-cheeked cherubs?"

96,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_061","<sigh> <Emphasis>This</Emphasis> is what's wrong with children these days─no concept of the value of scholarship or academic inquiry!"
97,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_062","...I suppose this ragamuffin will have to suffice. The <Emphasis>number</Emphasis> of children is not consequential, after all, simply one's presence."
98,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_063","Now, Blitzen! The season of lights is in full glow, and a needy child stands before you! Hearken unto the spirit of your ancestors, and show us the brilliance of the Ghost of Starlight Present!"
99,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_BLITZEN_000_064","..."
100,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_064","...O-On, Blitzen! There's no need to be shy, my boy! Show us your arcane magicks!"

102,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDD04658_000_066","Eeehhh? That's just a normal bleedin' reindeer, that is! The baby yeti from last year was way better. Oh well!"
103,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_067","W-Wait! Don't leave, I beseech you! There are valuable gains to be made in the name of history, and I require your assistance!"
104,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_069","I have...failed. I have squandered your time and generosity and made a mockery of my research..."

106,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_071","Did it not go as planned? That is unfortunate...but I am sure the two of you can discover a solution!"
107,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SYSTEM_000_080","You wait patiently, but Laurenssen does not return. Perhaps you should follow the sound of sniffling in the general direction of the Greatloam Growery."
108,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_090","O-Oh, it's you. ...D-Did I keep you waiting overlong? I apologize..."
109,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_091","I must have gotten lost in thought, you see, as I meditated upon my delimma. But I believe I have discovered the true problem at hand─the children of Gridania are simply insufficient."
110,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_092","It only stands to reason─the original texts are <Emphasis>Ishgardian</Emphasis>, after all, meaning the Ghost of Starlight Present must have been witnessed by Ishgardian children! I was a fool to think of proving my theory anywhere else!"
111,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_093","Perhaps you could come and assist us in Ishgard? Blitzen and I have never been inside the city before..."
112,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_093","Ah, but Ishgard is currently closed to outsiders... As an adventurer, perhaps you know how Blitzen and I might safely infiltrate the city?"

53 49 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_001 Happy Starlight! You are an adventurer, are you not? I am Amh Garanjy, Starlight celebrant, and very pleased to meet you.
54 50 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_002 The saint has guided you here at a most opportune moment. For you see, we are planning festivities most extraordinary this year, and could very much use an adventurer's charisma...
55 51 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_003 (-Viera Youth-)No good, Celebrant Garanjy. Simply no good! I'm afraid we shall need that adventurer after all.
56 52 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_004 (-Viera Youth-)Oh! Well, I see you've already made the arrangements─<If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> an adventurer, yes?
57 53 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_005 Allow me to introduce Laurenssen, an associate professor of the Studium in Sharlayan. His are the extraordinary festivities for which I am hoping to secure your assistance.
58 54 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_006 Laurenssen, Faculty of Folklore. Delighted, I'm sure.
59 55 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_006 Now then, adventurer─without further ado, let us see how knowledgeable you are. Tell me, what creature symbolizes the Starlight Celebration?
60 56 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
61 57 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_000 Reindeer!
62 58 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_001 Bear!
63 59 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_002 Yeeeeeeti!
64 60 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A1_000_003 I refuse to answer.
65 61 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_007 An easy question, was it not? I apologize if I insulted your intelligence─indeed, the answer is “reindeer.”
66 62 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_008 Bear? Do you...have a personal affinity for bears, perhaps? Regardless, the correct answer is “reindeer.”
67 63 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_009 Yeeeeee...? Oh, you mean “yeti.” ...Yeti!? Why on earth would such a bloodthirsty beast symbolize the Starlight Celebration!? The correct answer is “reindeer”!
68 64 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_010 Not on account of ignorance, surely, as even the most feeble-minded could provide a serviceable guess. But I suppose I can enlighten you, nonetheless─the answer is “reindeer.”
69 65 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_010 From gifts to garb, Starlight parapernalia is often emblazeoned with or designed in the image of these noble creatures.
70 66 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_011 Now for my second question─<Emphasis>when</Emphasis> was this symbolism incorporated into the Starlight Celebration?
71 67 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_012 When? You mean to say it was not always so?
72 68 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_012 No indeed! Any mention of reindeer is conspicuously absent from the original Ishgardian tales of Starlight. So I ask again─whence and wherefore did the reindeer call?
73 69 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_013 I have spent many a dedicated moon researching these perplexing quandaries, and finally, in a Coerthan tome of arcane origin, I discovered testimony of a phenomenon most queer─to wit, the Ghost of Starlight Present!
74 70 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_013 It is said that reindeer in possession of these magicks would conjure mysterious illusions of gifts and whimsy to delight young hearts during the winter season.
75 71 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_014 Surely it was the selfless procurement of these phantoms that earned reindeer their Starlight celebrity─and so I have come to Gridania with Blitzen in order to definitively prove the veracity of my claims!
76 72 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_BLITZEN_000_015 ...
77 73 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_016 Oh! So Blitzen is the sort of reindeer that can conjure the Ghost of Starlight Present?
78 74 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_017 Yes, Blitzen is of an endangered pedigree, currently protected within Labyrinthos as we continue our research. Typically, their ability to weave optical illusions is used as a precaution against would-be predators.
79 75 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_018 Yes, Blitzen is of an endangered pedigree, currently protected within Sharlayan as we continue our research. Typically, their ability to weave optical illusions is used as a precaution against would-be predators.
80 76 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_020 However, it is my belief that this very line of reindeer are those mentioned in the testimony I found, making Blitzen one of the few remaining successors of his bloodline's traditions.
81 77 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_021 Once he recreates the Ghost of Starlight Present with his unique capabilities, my erstwhile theories will become immovable fact! It shall be a singular triumph in the history of folklore!
82 78 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_022 ...However, no matter how rationally I have explained this to him, he has yet to produce any phantoms, whimsical or otherwise. Which is why I thought it best to recreate with complete accuracy the circumstances under which his progenitors once thrived.
83 79 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_023 I welcome anything that would bring cheer to our sweet children! My duties bind me here, but I believe our adventurer friend here will prove a most capable assistant.
84 80 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_024 Quite! Your, er, face and general demeanor tell me you are a perfect candidate for the task I have in store. Can I rely on your efforts?
85 81 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_025 Splendid. Posterity shall thank you. Now then, your role is a simple-yet-crucial one─gather up as many children as you can, and then bring them to me anon.
86 82 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_026 I shall be at Apkallu Falls, making the necessary preparations upon Blitzen. We await your triumphant arrival!
87 83 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_100_026 A good place to start may well be the path from the markets to the Lancer's Guild. I daresay many a youngling will be out gazing starry-eyed at the shops and decorations.
88 84 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_027 Thank you for helping Laurenssen in his noble endeavor. If I spot any interested darlings, I shall send them your way!
89 85 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_028 There, there! That's a good lad. You'll show us the Ghost of Starlight Present this time, yes?
90 86 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_BLITZEN_000_029 ...
91 87 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDA04658_000_030 A reindeer making ghosts!? I-I'm not scared or anything, but...
92 88 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDA04658_000_031 A-Actually, I just rememebered! I promised my mum I'd help her with the Starlight decorations, so...maybe next time!
93 89 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDB04658_000_040 Oh... I, er... I was told to buy eggs and hurry home. Sorry...
94 90 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDD04658_100_040 You said a reindeer's gonna make presents appear out of thin air!? That's bloody brilliant!
95 91 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDD04658_150_040 I'm done with me chores, so let's have a look! Apkallu Falls, right? Wicked!
96 92 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_BLITZEN_000_041 ...
97 93 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDC04658_000_042 Oh, it's you again! You're here to watch too? Just don't steal any of <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> presents─I bite! Haha!
98 94 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_060 Welcome back, adventurer! I trust you were able to assemble a crowd of rosy-cheeked cherubs?
99 95 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_061 ...Only that one!?
100 96 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_061 <sigh> <Emphasis>This</Emphasis> is what's wrong with children these days─no concept of the value of scholarship or academic inquiry!
101 97 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_062 ...I suppose this ragamuffin will have to suffice. The <Emphasis>number</Emphasis> of children is not consequential, after all, simply one's presence.
102 98 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_063 Now, Blitzen! The season of lights is in full glow, and a needy child stands before you! Hearken unto the spirit of your ancestors, and show us the brilliance of the Ghost of Starlight Present!
103 99 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_BLITZEN_000_064 ...
104 100 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_064 ...O-On, Blitzen! There's no need to be shy, my boy! Show us your arcane magicks!
105 101 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_BLITZEN_000_065 ...
106 102 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_CHILDD04658_000_066 Eeehhh? That's just a normal bleedin' reindeer, that is! The baby yeti from last year was way better. Oh well!
107 103 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_067 W-Wait! Don't leave, I beseech you! There are valuable gains to be made in the name of history, and I require your assistance!
108 104 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_069 I have...failed. I have squandered your time and generosity and made a mockery of my research...
109 105 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_070 What is to become of me? I cannot return in such disgrace! ...E-Excuse me, good adventurer, I-I need a moment to collect myself... Somewhere with extensive and soothing fauna...
110 106 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_AMHGARANJY_000_071 Did it not go as planned? That is unfortunate...but I am sure the two of you can discover a solution!
111 107 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SYSTEM_000_080 You wait patiently, but Laurenssen does not return. Perhaps you should follow the sound of sniffling in the general direction of the Greatloam Growery.
112 108 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_090 O-Oh, it's you. ...D-Did I keep you waiting overlong? I apologize...
113 109 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_091 I must have gotten lost in thought, you see, as I meditated upon my delimma. But I believe I have discovered the true problem at hand─the children of Gridania are simply insufficient.
114 110 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_092 It only stands to reason─the original texts are <Emphasis>Ishgardian</Emphasis>, after all, meaning the Ghost of Starlight Present must have been witnessed by Ishgardian children! I was a fool to think of proving my theory anywhere else!
115 111 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_093 Perhaps you could come and assist us in Ishgard? Blitzen and I have never been inside the city before...
116 112 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_093 Ah, but Ishgard is currently closed to outsiders... As an adventurer, perhaps you know how Blitzen and I might safely infiltrate the city?
117 113 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_Q2_000_000 What will you say?
118 114 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A2_000_000 How does Blitzen feel about all this?
119 115 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A2_000_001 You seem to be one reindeer short of a sleigh.
120 116 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_A2_000_002 I don't think the <Emphasis>children</Emphasis> are what's insufficient.
121 117 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_094 Blitzen? Why, I think he should agree with me as always─eh?
122 118 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_095 What? What do you mean? I don't have a─eh?
123 119 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_100_095 What!? Do you mean to imply that my <Emphasis>reindeer</Emphasis> is insufficient!? Because I'll have you know that Blitzen is─eh?
124 120 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_096 B-Blitzen!? But he was just here! Where has he gone!? Blitzen! <Emphasis>Blitzen</Emphasis>!
125 121 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_100 I can't find him! I can't find him! Where has he gone!?
126 122 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_101 H-Have you seen him!? A reindeer! Responds to the name of “Blitzen”! O-Oh, but you've met him already! Er!
127 123 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_102 H-How could I not have noticed he was gone!? Wh-What have I done!? He m-must be so s-scared all on his own! I-I must f-f-find him before he p-p-perishes from sh-sheer loneliness!
128 124 TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_LAURENSSEN_000_103 B-B-Blitzen! D-Don't w-w-worry, my d-dear b-b-boy, I'll f-f-find you!
