※This quest is available for a limited time only."

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...
1,"TEXT_FESXMS801_04658_SEQ_01","Amh Garanjy, celebrated Starlight celebrant, introduces you to Laurenssen, an associate professor of folklore visiting from Sharlayan. Laurenssen has come to Eorzea in pursuit of the truth─to wit, the origin of Starlight reindeer symbolism. He hopes to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that reindeer of eld once delighted young children with illusions, and he requires the aid of a cheerful adventurer such as yourself to set the stage for his experiment. You set off to gather a crowd of younglings, but Blitzen, the reindeer at the crux of this operation, shakes his head dolefully, seemingly less than enthusiastic...
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone."

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."

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.

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... ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone. Amh Garanjy, celebrated Starlight celebrant, introduces you to Laurenssen, an associate professor of folklore visiting from Sharlayan. Laurenssen has come to Eorzea in pursuit of the truth─to wit, the origin of Starlight reindeer symbolism. He hopes to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that reindeer of eld once delighted young children with illusions, and he requires the aid of a cheerful adventurer such as yourself to set the stage for his experiment. You set off to gather a crowd of younglings, but Blitzen, the reindeer at the crux of this operation, shakes his head dolefully, seemingly less than enthusiastic... ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended.

It ends in abject failure and literal tears, which Laurenssen temporarily excuses himself to dab.

Thus did I take it upon myself to delve into the truth of the matter.
