1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000020_ALPHINAUD","Ul'dah, on the other hand, is not. This riot was anything but an isolated incident."
2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000030_ALPHINAUD","There is a restlessness in the air. Tensions long simmering are at last threatening to boil over."
3,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000040_ALPHINAUD","Ul'dah is a nation infamous for the great disparity between the wealthy and the poor. The majority of the populace accepts this state of affairs because they believe that every man bears responsibility for his own lot in life."
4,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000050_ALPHINAUD","To an Ul'dahn, money is the foremost─and some would say the <Emphasis>only</Emphasis>─measure of a man's worth. Small wonder that the wealthiest wield the greatest influence."
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000060_ALPHINAUD","So where do the refugees fit into this social hierarchy? What place is there for those who fled Ala Mhigo and the destruction of the Calamity?"
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000070_ALPHINAUD","Plainly, there <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> none. They have no wealth, no power, and no worth. To the Ul'dahn way of thinking, they may as well not exist."
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000080_ALPHINAUD","Choosing to ignore their existence, however, is patently not an option. General Raubahn and the sultana understand this, which is why they ordered the Immortal Flames to provide the refugees aid and succor."
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000090_ALPHINAUD","Yet none would dispute that the expenses incurred by this policy grow by the day, with no end in sight."
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000100_ALPHINAUD","This has prompted more and more Ul'dahns to question their obligation to aid these worthless wanderers... "
10,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000110_ALPHINAUD","While more and more refugees have come to resent their treatment at the hands of the sneering citizenry."
11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000120_ALPHINAUD","The manner of Lord Lolorito's refusal to grant the Domans asylum bespoke a disdain for all refugees─an attitude shared by the rest of the Monetarists. And you may be sure they make no effort to conceal their opinions."
12,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000130_ALPHINAUD","It was only a matter of time before the refugees united in protest. Nor is it any surprise that some among them would ultimately resort to violence."
13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000140_ALPHINAUD","That the Immortal Flames should choose this of all occasions to engage in joint training exercises with the other Grand Companies... By the time they return, the situation may well have deteriorated beyond mending."
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100010_RAUBAHN","Commander Swift has kept us apprised of your recent activities. You've made great strides towards quelling the violence."
15,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100020_ALPHINAUD","Despite our best efforts to determine what provoked this uprising, the truth continues to elude us. Have you uncovered aught which might shed some light on the mystery?"
16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100030_RAUBAHN","This information does not leave this room."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100040_RAUBAHN","The Syndicate's decision to reject the Doman refugees' appeal for asylum had lasting repercussions. A number of those displaced by the Calamity claimed it was proof of a policy of discrimination."
18,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100050_RAUBAHN","Together with a group of Ala Mhigan refugees, they organized a series of demonstrations to protest against the sultanate."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100060_RAUBAHN","Demonstrations which became heated, but did not descend into violence."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100070_RAUBAHN"," Until a certain incident served as a call to arms."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100080_NANAMOULNAMO","A unit of Brass Blades sent to supervise a demonstration loosed arrows upon unarmed protesters."
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100090_NANAMOULNAMO","It was this atrocity which prompted the refugees to take up arms. I need not tell you what followed."
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100100_RAUBAHN","We assumed at first that the attack was born of a miscommunication. When emotions run high, they happen. But suspicions were raised regarding the unit's commanding officer, whom I ordered interrogated."
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100110_RAUBAHN","Sure enough, our fears were soon confirmed. The dog confessed that a merchant had offered him coin to give the order─a merchant in the employ of Teledji Adeledji."
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100120_ALPHINAUD","Teledji Adeledji?"
26,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100130_ALPHINAUD","But he spoke in favor of the Domans' cause, and has ever seemed sympathetic towards the refugees' plight. Why would he do such a thing?"
27,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100140_RAUBAHN","Know you of the Carteneau Reclamation Bill?"
28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100150_RAUBAHN","It is a proposal to annex the Carteneau Flats so that refugees may establish permanent settlements."
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100160_ALPHINAUD","When last I looked, that was disputed territory."
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100170_RAUBAHN","Aye. Some might even call it a battlefield."
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200010_RAUBAHN","The destruction wrought by Bahamut was greatest at the Carteneau Flats. That much is common knowledge."
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200020_RAUBAHN","What is less well known is that his rampage laid bare ancient Allagan ruins, of which no record existed."
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200030_RAUBAHN","There are certain...differences of opinion as to how these ruins should be handled, which is why each nation maintains a military presence in the region to this day."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200040_RAUBAHN","Yet differ though we may, we are still allies. Therefore, in the interest of preserving the Eorzean Alliance, we have reached an agreement."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200050_RAUBAHN","Any conflict which may arise during the course of military exercises in the region shall have no bearing on relations between our nations."
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200060_RAUBAHN","In full knowledge of this delicate state of affairs, Teledji Adeledji proposed the Carteneau Reclamation Bill."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200070_RAUBAHN","A shameless bloody ruse which stands to benefit him in but one conceivable way."
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200080_RAUBAHN","If successful, he will gain control over the disputed territory, under the guise of assisting in the resettlement effort. And you can be sure he'll build an orphanage next to every Allagan ruin."
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200090_NANAMOULNAMO","The man would threaten the unity of the Eorzean Alliance and risk countless lives for personal gain!"
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200100_RAUBAHN","He walks a path all his own, independent of any faction, and beholden to none of his fellows on the Syndicate."
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200110_NANAMOULNAMO","By inciting the less fortunate to violence, he hopes to convince others that the Carteneau Reclamation Bill is the only viable solution."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200120_NANAMOULNAMO","His sympathy for the plight of the Domans was naught but posturing to gain credibility with the refugees. Of that there can be no doubt."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300010_ALPHINAUD","Forgive me, but what could possibly motivate Teledji Adeledji to go to such lengths? What is so special about these ruins that he would risk his position on the Syndicate, and, most likely, charges of treason against the sultanate?"
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300020_NANAMOULNAMO","Omega..."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300030_ALPHINAUD","Pardon?"
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300040_RAUBAHN","An Allagan monstrosity, not unlike the Ultima Weapon. Mayhap larger. We know not. It has yet to be fully excavated."
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300050_RAUBAHN","Allagan inscriptions indicate that it was created to fell Bahamut himself."
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300060_RAUBAHN","If accurate, it might explain why Nael van Darnus chose to bring the red moon down upon the Carteneau Flats."
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300070_RAUBAHN","Given the ends he went to to ensure Eorzea's annihilation, destroying the one weapon which could stay the elder primal may well have seemed like good sense."
50,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300080_ALPHINAUD","When first I bore witness to the power of the Ultima Weapon, I doubted the evidence of my senses... And now you tell me there is another such weapon─one which could contend with Bahamut. <Emphasis>Bahamut</Emphasis>."
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300090_RAUBAHN","Aye. We were skeptical ourselves. Truth be told, until the Ultima Weapon's existence came to light, we thought the inscription had been mistranslated."
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300100_NANAMOULNAMO","At present, Omega is more akin to a fossil than a tool of war, having long since ceased to function. As such, its true potential cannot accurately be gauged."
53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300110_NANAMOULNAMO","However, if someone were to restore it, as the Garleans did the Ultima Weapon, I have little doubt that he would wield untold power."
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300120_RAUBAHN","Power enough to subjugate Ul'dah, like as not, and the rest of Eorzea besides─which is doubtless why Teledji Adeledji yearns to have it."
55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300130_NANAMOULNAMO","That <Emphasis>he</Emphasis> should aspire to world domination... He who has ever walked two paces behind Lord Lolorito in matters of commerce."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300140_RAUBAHN","'Tis in acknowledgement of his own limitations that he seeks this power. Woe betide us all should we allow him to have it."
57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300150_NANAMOULNAMO","Pray waste no time chasing rats. Only a fool would believe that secrets can be kept in Ul'dah."
58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300160_ALPHINAUD","It would seem the implications of the sultanate's refugee problem are rather more far-reaching than we assumed..."
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400010_HAURCHEFANT","The incident with the new frontier hands? No, no, you need not elaborate─I have been following their progress with no small amount of interest."
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400020_HAURCHEFANT","Brave men and women all... They do our nation a great service. The existence of a fortified outpost in Mor Dhona will do much to dissuade the Empire from trespassing on Coerthan soil."
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400030_HAURCHEFANT","Right glad am I that you have chosen to lend your support to this endeavor. Never let it be said that House Fortemps does not acknowledge the efforts of her allies...or her debts."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400040_HAURCHEFANT","'Twas in the spirit of gratitude that I arranged for sundry supplies to be delivered to Revenant's Toll. That the shipment should chance to be waylaid by heretics is poor fortune, indeed."
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400050_HAURCHEFANT","Poor fortune, I say...yet not without precedent. If you would know the truth of it, these incorrigible villains grow more organized with each passing day."
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400060_HAURCHEFANT","This new unity of purpose we attribute to their leader─the Lady “Iceheart.” But though I have devoted significant resources to the task of identifying this woman, we have yet to learn so much as her birthname."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400070_HAURCHEFANT","What we <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> know is that the heretics speak of Iceheart in reverent tones, and would gladly embrace death rather than betray her. Such loyalty is rare indeed, and I fear to imagine what so committed a collective might achieve."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400080_HAURCHEFANT","The brigands have not yet been so brazen as to risk direct confrontation here in Dragonhead. Some few of their number have, however, been sighted not far to the west of here...and with ever-increasing regularity."
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400090_HAURCHEFANT","A visit to Whitebrim Front may bring you the answers you seek. Will you brave the snows knowing what implacable foes may lie in wait?"
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400100_HAURCHEFANT","Halone's blessings be upon you! Though I take no pride in the admission, many of mine own countrymen are not so well suited as you adventurers to dealing with such foes. Were they dragons, it might be otherwise!"
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400110_HAURCHEFANT","But truly, I could not wish for a finer ally. You have done much for my house in the past, and I have no doubt but that I shall have cause to celebrate your deeds again ere long."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400120_HAURCHEFANT","Should you learn aught of value, pray return to me forthwith. A warm hearth and a warmer welcome shall be waiting for you."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_500010_YSAYLE","(-???-)Hmph..."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600010_HAURCHEFANT","Your return is most timely. Of their own accord, my thoughts had turned to your task and the progress thereof. I confess, my imaginings tended toward the grim and bloody."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600020_HAURCHEFANT","But you are here now, and I suspect such frivolous wonderings do little justice to the reality of your travails. Tell me, what did you learn of Iceheart?"
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600030_HAURCHEFANT","...Indeed. And this transpired at Snowcloak?"
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600040_HAURCHEFANT","Of all the highlands, that towering wall has borne the worst of the region's brutal shift in climate."
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600050_HAURCHEFANT","So inhospitable has Snowcloak become that we have still to survey the area in its entirety. Could its frozen heights conceal the heretics' hideaway? Mayhap a more robust reconnaissance effort is in order."
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600060_HAURCHEFANT","Putting such considerations aside for the moment, we still know far too little of this Iceheart. That she is capable of commanding such a band of fanatics bespeaks natural authority, and no small measure of charisma."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600070_HAURCHEFANT","As much as I would like to fathom this mystery with you, the situation has grown beyond my personal purview. I am bound by duty to inform the Temple Knights and request that they bring this matter to its conclusion."
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600080_HAURCHEFANT","Given the glowing reports their new commander has garnered thus far, I am certain that they can be relied upon to take appropriate action."
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600090_HAURCHEFANT","Though Iceheart's true identity yet eludes us, you have provided us with a point from which to begin. Sometimes it takes but a single stone to prompt an avalanche."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600100_HAURCHEFANT","On the matter of the stolen provisions, I have already made arrangements for a second shipment to be sent to Revenant's Toll. I could not well allow such an honorable venture to be undermined by one miserable setback!"
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700010_KANESENNA","Scions of the Seventh Dawn, on behalf of the people of Gridania, I bid you welcome. Your presence is of great comfort to us all in these days of uncertainty."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700020_KANESENNA","I summoned you here to share tidings of a most urgent nature. But a short while ago, the great elemental spoke, and his voice was clarion in its intensity: Ramuh is returned unto the forest."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700030_KANESENNA","Scarce had his words ceased to echo in mine ears when we were visited by an emissary from Little Solace."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700050_KANESENNA","Our guest informs us that the sylphs, too, have sensed the presence of the Lord of Levin."
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700055_KANESENNA","Our guest informs us that the sylphs, too, have sensed the presence of the Lord of Levin."
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700060_KANESENNA","Though his exact whereabouts remain unknown, we may safely assume that the primal was summoned within the heart of the Sylphlands."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700070_KANESENNA","Unlike the other primals you have encountered, Lord Ramuh is no raging avatar of destruction. He is revered as much for his wisdom as his strength, serving as both arbiter and guardian to his children. Given that we and the sylphs found a way to share the Twelveswood, it is my hope that this sagely immortal will be amenable to reason, and that conflict may be avoided."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700080_KANESENNA","Blessed as you are with the power of the Echo, you are one of the few among us who may commune with a primal without fear of influence. I would ask therefore that you represent us in this most delicate of negotiations."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700090_KANESENNA","The Twelveswood has suffered enough. Upon this, we and the sylphs─and I would venture Lord Ramuh himself─are in perfect accord. Let us not endanger our shared home by engaging in unnecessary hostilities."
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700100_KANESENNA","Dear friend, I beseech you: safeguard the peace which exists between our peoples."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700110_KANESENNA","You have my thanks."
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700120_KANESENNA","Pray make for Little Solace, then. A member of the Order of the Twin Adder awaits you there. He will advise you on how to find the Lord of Levin."
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700130_KANESENNA","An ill wind blows through the forest."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700140_KANESENNA","Yet...it is not only the Twelveswood that flinches at its coming─all the lands of Eorzea shiver in dread anticipation. Have care."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800010_RAMUH","Thine aura betrays thee, servant of Hydaelyn."
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800020_RAMUH","Thou art the Bringer of Light...bane of Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, and Leviathan."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800030_RAMUH","I am Ramuh, guardian of the children of the forest."
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800040_RAMUH","Thou tramplest upon sacred soil, Bringer of Light. By what right doth man intrude in this sanctuary of the sylphs?"
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800050_RAMUH","The Gridanians proffer peace? Their words are born of delusion─thine offer, an insult."
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800060_RAMUH","Thou speakest of harmony, yet carest naught for my children's desires. They did but wish to dwell beneath these boughs in solitude─yet even that was too much to ask of man."
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800070_RAMUH","Thus did they turn to me for succor. The sentence I pronounce upon thy kind is just."
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800080_RAMUH","Gridanian or Garlean, it matters not. The good intent of one excuseth not the misdeeds of the other."
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800090_RAMUH","Thy conflicts have brought naught but anguish and misery unto the forest. All blame doth lie with the darkness that resideth in the breast of man."
105,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800100_RAMUH","Whence sprung this calamitous seed? In the beginning, no such duality existed. Were light and dark given form when man was born?"
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800110_RAMUH","It would explain much. Not least why strife and sorrow follow ever in thy wake. Thou canst not deny the urgings of thine own nature."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800120_RAMUH","Knowing that thy mere presence here portendeth tragedy, wilt thou persist in this pretense of peacemaking?"
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800130_RAMUH","Thou bearest the crystal which I bestowed upon my wayward charges. That they should entrust so precious a gift to thee..."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800140_RAMUH","Thou standest apart from thy kin. Thou art the Bringer of Light, aye...but there is something more in thee..."

111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800160_RAMUH","If thou wouldst champion the cause of harmony, I must have proof that thou art fit to play the role. Weather mine ire, and prove to me thereby that thou hast strength enough to stay the Darkness which threateneth to consume thee."
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800170_RAMUH","Yet if thou shouldst be found wanting, know that <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> men shall perish in the storm of my judgment!"
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800180_RAMUH","Come to me, Bringer of Light. I shall await thee on the field of battle!"
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800190_YSHTOLA","Urianger. It is rare indeed to find you so far from a tome."
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800200_URIANGER","The Lord of Levin himself... Never till this day had I looked upon his visage save in painted renderings, made faint by time... Ever shall this scene remain etched in my mind's eye... Ahem. Beg pardon, my lady."
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800210_URIANGER","I must beg thine aid on a point of research. If thou art resolved to face Lord Ramuh, I would ask thy leave to observe the event..."

118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900020_RAMUH","And I judge thee a worthy champion. The task of excising the sin that hath taken root in man's heart is thine."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900030_RAMUH","Shrink not from employing thy strength in service to the forest, and the wider realm beyond. Like hungering shadows do the enemies of harmony gather, and meekness will but feed them."

121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900050_URIANGER","Thou hast slain the Lord of Levin. A regrettable act...but a necessary one."
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900060_URIANGER","In witnessing thy struggle, a truth hath been revealed unto me. If I mistake not, it may yet prove a chink in the eternal armor of the Ascians."
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900070_URIANGER","But let us conclude our present business. I shall expound upon my findings at the Rising Stones anon."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00010_KANESENNA","You are returned to us, dear friend, and none the worse for bearing the heavy burden which I did press upon you. Most glad am I of this."
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00020_KANESENNA","I am informed that your efforts to negotiate a peace with Lord Ramuh ended in conflict. Pray tell me, what befell?"
126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00030_KANESENNA","Ramuh made trial of you?"
127,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00040_KANESENNA","I fear there is truth to his claim. It is the darkness within us that attracts the Darkness without."
128,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00050_KANESENNA","It cannot be denied that misfortune follows man. For evidence, one need only look to the conflict brewing in Carteneau, or to the rising flood of refugees."
129,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00060_KANESENNA","Our shared struggle against the Empire should have served to seal our union, yet the ties which bind the Alliance strain under the weight of gross self-interest."

131,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00080_KANESENNA","Yet now is scarce the time to forget our shared responsibility. If this new-sprung realm is to survive beyond its infancy, it must needs be nurtured by all."

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000010_ALPHINAUD Come, you must have gathered by now that Tataru is given to exaggeration. As you can see, I am quite well.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000020_ALPHINAUD Ul'dah, on the other hand, is not. This riot was anything but an isolated incident.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000030_ALPHINAUD There is a restlessness in the air. Tensions long simmering are at last threatening to boil over.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000040_ALPHINAUD Ul'dah is a nation infamous for the great disparity between the wealthy and the poor. The majority of the populace accepts this state of affairs because they believe that every man bears responsibility for his own lot in life.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000050_ALPHINAUD To an Ul'dahn, money is the foremost─and some would say the <Emphasis>only</Emphasis>─measure of a man's worth. Small wonder that the wealthiest wield the greatest influence.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000060_ALPHINAUD So where do the refugees fit into this social hierarchy? What place is there for those who fled Ala Mhigo and the destruction of the Calamity?
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000070_ALPHINAUD Plainly, there <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> none. They have no wealth, no power, and no worth. To the Ul'dahn way of thinking, they may as well not exist.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000080_ALPHINAUD Choosing to ignore their existence, however, is patently not an option. General Raubahn and the sultana understand this, which is why they ordered the Immortal Flames to provide the refugees aid and succor.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000090_ALPHINAUD Yet none would dispute that the expenses incurred by this policy grow by the day, with no end in sight.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000100_ALPHINAUD This has prompted more and more Ul'dahns to question their obligation to aid these worthless wanderers...
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000110_ALPHINAUD While more and more refugees have come to resent their treatment at the hands of the sneering citizenry.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000120_ALPHINAUD The manner of Lord Lolorito's refusal to grant the Domans asylum bespoke a disdain for all refugees─an attitude shared by the rest of the Monetarists. And you may be sure they make no effort to conceal their opinions.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000130_ALPHINAUD It was only a matter of time before the refugees united in protest. Nor is it any surprise that some among them would ultimately resort to violence.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000140_ALPHINAUD That the Immortal Flames should choose this of all occasions to engage in joint training exercises with the other Grand Companies... By the time they return, the situation may well have deteriorated beyond mending.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100010_RAUBAHN Commander Swift has kept us apprised of your recent activities. You've made great strides towards quelling the violence.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100020_ALPHINAUD Despite our best efforts to determine what provoked this uprising, the truth continues to elude us. Have you uncovered aught which might shed some light on the mystery?
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100030_RAUBAHN This information does not leave this room.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100040_RAUBAHN The Syndicate's decision to reject the Doman refugees' appeal for asylum had lasting repercussions. A number of those displaced by the Calamity claimed it was proof of a policy of discrimination.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100050_RAUBAHN Together with a group of Ala Mhigan refugees, they organized a series of demonstrations to protest against the sultanate.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100060_RAUBAHN Demonstrations which became heated, but did not descend into violence.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100070_RAUBAHN Until a certain incident served as a call to arms.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100080_NANAMOULNAMO A unit of Brass Blades sent to supervise a demonstration loosed arrows upon unarmed protesters.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100090_NANAMOULNAMO It was this atrocity which prompted the refugees to take up arms. I need not tell you what followed.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100100_RAUBAHN We assumed at first that the attack was born of a miscommunication. When emotions run high, they happen. But suspicions were raised regarding the unit's commanding officer, whom I ordered interrogated.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100110_RAUBAHN Sure enough, our fears were soon confirmed. The dog confessed that a merchant had offered him coin to give the order─a merchant in the employ of Teledji Adeledji.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100120_ALPHINAUD Teledji Adeledji?
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100130_ALPHINAUD But he spoke in favor of the Domans' cause, and has ever seemed sympathetic towards the refugees' plight. Why would he do such a thing?
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100140_RAUBAHN Know you of the Carteneau Reclamation Bill?
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100150_RAUBAHN It is a proposal to annex the Carteneau Flats so that refugees may establish permanent settlements.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100160_ALPHINAUD When last I looked, that was disputed territory.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100170_RAUBAHN Aye. Some might even call it a battlefield.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200010_RAUBAHN The destruction wrought by Bahamut was greatest at the Carteneau Flats. That much is common knowledge.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200020_RAUBAHN What is less well known is that his rampage laid bare ancient Allagan ruins, of which no record existed.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200030_RAUBAHN There are certain...differences of opinion as to how these ruins should be handled, which is why each nation maintains a military presence in the region to this day.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200040_RAUBAHN Yet differ though we may, we are still allies. Therefore, in the interest of preserving the Eorzean Alliance, we have reached an agreement.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200050_RAUBAHN Any conflict which may arise during the course of military exercises in the region shall have no bearing on relations between our nations.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200060_RAUBAHN In full knowledge of this delicate state of affairs, Teledji Adeledji proposed the Carteneau Reclamation Bill.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200070_RAUBAHN A shameless bloody ruse which stands to benefit him in but one conceivable way.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200080_RAUBAHN If successful, he will gain control over the disputed territory, under the guise of assisting in the resettlement effort. And you can be sure he'll build an orphanage next to every Allagan ruin.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200090_NANAMOULNAMO The man would threaten the unity of the Eorzean Alliance and risk countless lives for personal gain!
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200100_RAUBAHN He walks a path all his own, independent of any faction, and beholden to none of his fellows on the Syndicate.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200110_NANAMOULNAMO By inciting the less fortunate to violence, he hopes to convince others that the Carteneau Reclamation Bill is the only viable solution.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200120_NANAMOULNAMO His sympathy for the plight of the Domans was naught but posturing to gain credibility with the refugees. Of that there can be no doubt.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300010_ALPHINAUD Forgive me, but what could possibly motivate Teledji Adeledji to go to such lengths? What is so special about these ruins that he would risk his position on the Syndicate, and, most likely, charges of treason against the sultanate?
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300020_NANAMOULNAMO Omega...
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300030_ALPHINAUD Pardon?
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300040_RAUBAHN An Allagan monstrosity, not unlike the Ultima Weapon. Mayhap larger. We know not. It has yet to be fully excavated.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300050_RAUBAHN Allagan inscriptions indicate that it was created to fell Bahamut himself.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300060_RAUBAHN If accurate, it might explain why Nael van Darnus chose to bring the red moon down upon the Carteneau Flats.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300070_RAUBAHN Given the ends he went to to ensure Eorzea's annihilation, destroying the one weapon which could stay the elder primal may well have seemed like good sense.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300080_ALPHINAUD When first I bore witness to the power of the Ultima Weapon, I doubted the evidence of my senses... And now you tell me there is another such weapon─one which could contend with Bahamut. <Emphasis>Bahamut</Emphasis>.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300090_RAUBAHN Aye. We were skeptical ourselves. Truth be told, until the Ultima Weapon's existence came to light, we thought the inscription had been mistranslated.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300100_NANAMOULNAMO At present, Omega is more akin to a fossil than a tool of war, having long since ceased to function. As such, its true potential cannot accurately be gauged.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300110_NANAMOULNAMO However, if someone were to restore it, as the Garleans did the Ultima Weapon, I have little doubt that he would wield untold power.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300120_RAUBAHN Power enough to subjugate Ul'dah, like as not, and the rest of Eorzea besides─which is doubtless why Teledji Adeledji yearns to have it.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300130_NANAMOULNAMO That <Emphasis>he</Emphasis> should aspire to world domination... He who has ever walked two paces behind Lord Lolorito in matters of commerce.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300140_RAUBAHN 'Tis in acknowledgement of his own limitations that he seeks this power. Woe betide us all should we allow him to have it.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300150_NANAMOULNAMO Pray waste no time chasing rats. Only a fool would believe that secrets can be kept in Ul'dah.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300160_ALPHINAUD It would seem the implications of the sultanate's refugee problem are rather more far-reaching than we assumed...
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400010_HAURCHEFANT The incident with the new frontier hands? No, no, you need not elaborate─I have been following their progress with no small amount of interest.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400020_HAURCHEFANT Brave men and women all... They do our nation a great service. The existence of a fortified outpost in Mor Dhona will do much to dissuade the Empire from trespassing on Coerthan soil.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400030_HAURCHEFANT Right glad am I that you have chosen to lend your support to this endeavor. Never let it be said that House Fortemps does not acknowledge the efforts of her allies...or her debts.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400040_HAURCHEFANT 'Twas in the spirit of gratitude that I arranged for sundry supplies to be delivered to Revenant's Toll. That the shipment should chance to be waylaid by heretics is poor fortune, indeed.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400050_HAURCHEFANT Poor fortune, I say...yet not without precedent. If you would know the truth of it, these incorrigible villains grow more organized with each passing day.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400060_HAURCHEFANT This new unity of purpose we attribute to their leader─the Lady “Iceheart.” But though I have devoted significant resources to the task of identifying this woman, we have yet to learn so much as her birthname.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400070_HAURCHEFANT What we <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> know is that the heretics speak of Iceheart in reverent tones, and would gladly embrace death rather than betray her. Such loyalty is rare indeed, and I fear to imagine what so committed a collective might achieve.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400080_HAURCHEFANT The brigands have not yet been so brazen as to risk direct confrontation here in Dragonhead. Some few of their number have, however, been sighted not far to the west of here...and with ever-increasing regularity.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400090_HAURCHEFANT A visit to Whitebrim Front may bring you the answers you seek. Will you brave the snows knowing what implacable foes may lie in wait?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400100_HAURCHEFANT Halone's blessings be upon you! Though I take no pride in the admission, many of mine own countrymen are not so well suited as you adventurers to dealing with such foes. Were they dragons, it might be otherwise!
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400110_HAURCHEFANT But truly, I could not wish for a finer ally. You have done much for my house in the past, and I have no doubt but that I shall have cause to celebrate your deeds again ere long.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400120_HAURCHEFANT Should you learn aught of value, pray return to me forthwith. A warm hearth and a warmer welcome shall be waiting for you.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_500010_YSAYLE (-???-)Hmph...
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600010_HAURCHEFANT Your return is most timely. Of their own accord, my thoughts had turned to your task and the progress thereof. I confess, my imaginings tended toward the grim and bloody.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600020_HAURCHEFANT But you are here now, and I suspect such frivolous wonderings do little justice to the reality of your travails. Tell me, what did you learn of Iceheart?
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600030_HAURCHEFANT ...Indeed. And this transpired at Snowcloak?
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600040_HAURCHEFANT Of all the highlands, that towering wall has borne the worst of the region's brutal shift in climate.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600050_HAURCHEFANT So inhospitable has Snowcloak become that we have still to survey the area in its entirety. Could its frozen heights conceal the heretics' hideaway? Mayhap a more robust reconnaissance effort is in order.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600060_HAURCHEFANT Putting such considerations aside for the moment, we still know far too little of this Iceheart. That she is capable of commanding such a band of fanatics bespeaks natural authority, and no small measure of charisma.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600070_HAURCHEFANT As much as I would like to fathom this mystery with you, the situation has grown beyond my personal purview. I am bound by duty to inform the Temple Knights and request that they bring this matter to its conclusion.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600080_HAURCHEFANT Given the glowing reports their new commander has garnered thus far, I am certain that they can be relied upon to take appropriate action.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600090_HAURCHEFANT Though Iceheart's true identity yet eludes us, you have provided us with a point from which to begin. Sometimes it takes but a single stone to prompt an avalanche.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600100_HAURCHEFANT On the matter of the stolen provisions, I have already made arrangements for a second shipment to be sent to Revenant's Toll. I could not well allow such an honorable venture to be undermined by one miserable setback!
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700010_KANESENNA Scions of the Seventh Dawn, on behalf of the people of Gridania, I bid you welcome. Your presence is of great comfort to us all in these days of uncertainty.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700020_KANESENNA I summoned you here to share tidings of a most urgent nature. But a short while ago, the great elemental spoke, and his voice was clarion in its intensity: Ramuh is returned unto the forest.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700030_KANESENNA Scarce had his words ceased to echo in mine ears when we were visited by an emissary from Little Solace.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700050_KANESENNA Our guest informs us that the sylphs, too, have sensed the presence of the Lord of Levin.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700055_KANESENNA Our guest informs us that the sylphs, too, have sensed the presence of the Lord of Levin.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700060_KANESENNA Though his exact whereabouts remain unknown, we may safely assume that the primal was summoned within the heart of the Sylphlands.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700070_KANESENNA Unlike the other primals you have encountered, Lord Ramuh is no raging avatar of destruction. He is revered as much for his wisdom as his strength, serving as both arbiter and guardian to his children. Given that we and the sylphs found a way to share the Twelveswood, it is my hope that this sagely immortal will be amenable to reason, and that conflict may be avoided.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700080_KANESENNA Blessed as you are with the power of the Echo, you are one of the few among us who may commune with a primal without fear of influence. I would ask therefore that you represent us in this most delicate of negotiations.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700090_KANESENNA The Twelveswood has suffered enough. Upon this, we and the sylphs─and I would venture Lord Ramuh himself─are in perfect accord. Let us not endanger our shared home by engaging in unnecessary hostilities.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700100_KANESENNA Dear friend, I beseech you: safeguard the peace which exists between our peoples.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700110_KANESENNA You have my thanks.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700120_KANESENNA Pray make for Little Solace, then. A member of the Order of the Twin Adder awaits you there. He will advise you on how to find the Lord of Levin.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700130_KANESENNA An ill wind blows through the forest.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700140_KANESENNA Yet...it is not only the Twelveswood that flinches at its coming─all the lands of Eorzea shiver in dread anticipation. Have care.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800010_RAMUH Thine aura betrays thee, servant of Hydaelyn.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800020_RAMUH Thou art the Bringer of Light...bane of Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, and Leviathan.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800030_RAMUH I am Ramuh, guardian of the children of the forest.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800040_RAMUH Thou tramplest upon sacred soil, Bringer of Light. By what right doth man intrude in this sanctuary of the sylphs?
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800050_RAMUH The Gridanians proffer peace? Their words are born of delusion─thine offer, an insult.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800060_RAMUH Thou speakest of harmony, yet carest naught for my children's desires. They did but wish to dwell beneath these boughs in solitude─yet even that was too much to ask of man.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800070_RAMUH Thus did they turn to me for succor. The sentence I pronounce upon thy kind is just.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800080_RAMUH Gridanian or Garlean, it matters not. The good intent of one excuseth not the misdeeds of the other.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800090_RAMUH Thy conflicts have brought naught but anguish and misery unto the forest. All blame doth lie with the darkness that resideth in the breast of man.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800100_RAMUH Whence sprung this calamitous seed? In the beginning, no such duality existed. Were light and dark given form when man was born?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800110_RAMUH It would explain much. Not least why strife and sorrow follow ever in thy wake. Thou canst not deny the urgings of thine own nature.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800120_RAMUH Knowing that thy mere presence here portendeth tragedy, wilt thou persist in this pretense of peacemaking?
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800130_RAMUH Thou bearest the crystal which I bestowed upon my wayward charges. That they should entrust so precious a gift to thee...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800140_RAMUH Thou standest apart from thy kin. Thou art the Bringer of Light, aye...but there is something more in thee...
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800150_RAMUH Very well, I shall consider thy proposal...shouldst thou survive my trial.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800160_RAMUH If thou wouldst champion the cause of harmony, I must have proof that thou art fit to play the role. Weather mine ire, and prove to me thereby that thou hast strength enough to stay the Darkness which threateneth to consume thee.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800170_RAMUH Yet if thou shouldst be found wanting, know that <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> men shall perish in the storm of my judgment!
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800180_RAMUH Come to me, Bringer of Light. I shall await thee on the field of battle!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800190_YSHTOLA Urianger. It is rare indeed to find you so far from a tome.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800200_URIANGER The Lord of Levin himself... Never till this day had I looked upon his visage save in painted renderings, made faint by time... Ever shall this scene remain etched in my mind's eye... Ahem. Beg pardon, my lady.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800210_URIANGER I must beg thine aid on a point of research. If thou art resolved to face Lord Ramuh, I would ask thy leave to observe the event...
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900010_RAMUH I have taken thy measure, Bringer of Light.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900020_RAMUH And I judge thee a worthy champion. The task of excising the sin that hath taken root in man's heart is thine.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900030_RAMUH Shrink not from employing thy strength in service to the forest, and the wider realm beyond. Like hungering shadows do the enemies of harmony gather, and meekness will but feed them.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900040_RAMUH If man is to be delivered from the Dark, it shall be by thy guiding Light alone. Stray not from the path, for if thou dost, thy people shall be truly lost...
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900050_URIANGER Thou hast slain the Lord of Levin. A regrettable act...but a necessary one.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900060_URIANGER In witnessing thy struggle, a truth hath been revealed unto me. If I mistake not, it may yet prove a chink in the eternal armor of the Ascians.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900070_URIANGER But let us conclude our present business. I shall expound upon my findings at the Rising Stones anon.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00010_KANESENNA You are returned to us, dear friend, and none the worse for bearing the heavy burden which I did press upon you. Most glad am I of this.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00020_KANESENNA I am informed that your efforts to negotiate a peace with Lord Ramuh ended in conflict. Pray tell me, what befell?
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00030_KANESENNA Ramuh made trial of you?
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00040_KANESENNA I fear there is truth to his claim. It is the darkness within us that attracts the Darkness without.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00050_KANESENNA It cannot be denied that misfortune follows man. For evidence, one need only look to the conflict brewing in Carteneau, or to the rising flood of refugees.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00060_KANESENNA Our shared struggle against the Empire should have served to seal our union, yet the ties which bind the Alliance strain under the weight of gross self-interest.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00070_KANESENNA As the scars of the Calamity begin to fade, so too does our sense of common purpose.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00080_KANESENNA Yet now is scarce the time to forget our shared responsibility. If this new-sprung realm is to survive beyond its infancy, it must needs be nurtured by all.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00090_KANESENNA Eorzea <Emphasis>must</Emphasis> be as one. Yet I fear that dream is still far off.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00100_KANESENNA On behalf of the people of Gridania, and the elementals both, I thank you for all that you and your fellow Scions have done.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00110_KANESENNA Full oft have I been compelled to look to you for aid of late...and offered all too little in return. As leader of this nation, I shall endeavor to prove a more worthy ally to your cause henceforth.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00120_KANESENNA Lord Ramuh has departed, yet the keening of this ill wind grows no less insistent...
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00130_KANESENNA Voices of the forest─pray speak and I shall listen. What unseen evil begets this unease in my heart?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00010_MINFILIA If everyone is ready, let us begin.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00020_MINFILIA Urianger, the floor is yours.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00030_URIANGER As all here assembled now know, in its final hours as our order's headquarters, the Waking Sands did play host to a most unexpected visitor. I speak of the Ascian clad in white, Elidibus.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00040_URIANGER Unwelcome though his presence was, his words that day did serve to confirm a truth long suspected: that the Ascians are eternal beings, to whom physical destruction is as a temporary inconvenience.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00050_MINFILIA In the intervening time, Urianger and I have striven to discover a means by which the Ascians might more permanently be slain.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00060_URIANGER And 'tis my belief that we have found the thread that will allow us to unravel the twisted skein of their existence.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00070_URIANGER In the moments prior to Leviathan's most recent manifestation, the Sahagin elder who summoned him was observed to undergo some manner of ascension.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00080_URIANGER The aetheric readings taken by Y'shtola at the time of this transfiguration have proven most enlightening.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00090_YSHTOLA The disruption to the flow of aether was sudden and dramatic. So tangible was the agitation, I scarce had need of my goggles.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00100_URIANGER The significance of Y'shtola's readings might better be understood in the context of mine own, taken at the instant of the Lord of Levin's demise. Unlike the primal, the Sahagin was not subject to aetheric dissipation.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00110_MINFILIA Before discussing our new discoveries, it may benefit us all to recall what we know of aetheric behavior.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00120_MINFILIA Let us begin at what some might call the end. When we who dwell in the material realm die, our spirits dissolve into the flow of aether, and are returned to the aetherial realm.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00130_MINFILIA In turn, the restless energy which suffuses that plane streams back into our world, giving rise to new life.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00140_URIANGER 'Tis as the heavens did decree─the way of all mortal souls.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00150_URIANGER 'Twixt this world and the next do the aetherial currents swirl, bearing the very essence of life. Thus doth the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth continue unabated.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00160_MINFILIA Primals behave somewhat differently. In order to manifest and then maintain a physical presence in this realm, they must consume vast quantities of aether, most often in the form of crystals. Though they may seem to live, their flesh is but aether given shape.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00170_MINFILIA Thus, a defeated primal leaves behind no broken corpse─rather, the essence of its form seeps back into the land whence it came, and the energy of its shattered spirit is called back to the aetherial realm.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00180_URIANGER And there it waiteth till next the prayers of the faithful do draw it forth from the sea of aether to take their offering of crystals and make for itself a new body...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00190_MINFILIA Which brings us on to the third group. These so-called “immortals.” They exist in a manner all their own.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00200_YSHTOLA Quite. Even as the Sahagin elder fell to the Admiral's musket shot, I witnessed the release of an aetherial cloud which immediately took possession of a nearby minion.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00210_URIANGER A soul that dissipateth not upon the death of the flesh...
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00220_THANCRED The secret of life everlasting. And in the claws of a Sahagin, no less. But I wonder: what would happen to one of these obstinate spirits should there be no suitable host for it to claim?
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00230_MINFILIA If mortal death entails a return to the aetherial realm, it seems doubtful that the soul of an immortal would venture there.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00240_URIANGER Nay, it merely withdraweth a distance. Unto the shore of the aetherial sea, perchance, but no further.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00250_MINFILIA Yes, it exists in neither this realm nor the next, abiding instead in the space that lies between them.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00260_MINFILIA The Ascians took control of Thancred by means of a Crystal of Darkness─an artifact which, if our theories are correct, serves as a gateway to the place I have just described.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00270_THANCRED I was hoping people had forgotten about that...
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00280_MINFILIA I am sorry, my friend.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00290_URIANGER For a mercy, the weary road of our research hath brought us unto an answer.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00300_YSHTOLA The Sahagin ascended to an immortal state, but he did not possess a Crystal of Darkness through which to flee this realm. Thus was he consumed by Leviathan.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00310_YSHTOLA If we could entrap the spirits of defeated Ascians in like manner, and thereby deny them resurrection...
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00320_URIANGER Therein lieth the path to victory. Thou art most perceptive, my lady.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00330_URIANGER Only when we have trapped the bodiless soul within an aetherial prison can we hope to defeat its unnatural constancy. Thus, might even an eternal Paragon be consigned to oblivion.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00340_MINFILIA These feats are, of course, far easier said than done. At present, we lack a viable means to entrap and extinguish an Ascian soul.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00350_MINFILIA Yet I believe it to be possible. The pieces of the puzzle lie before us─we have but to put them together.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00360_URIANGER I will depart at once to convene with the sages of Sharlayan. Together shall we divine the steps by which our goals may be achieved.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00370_MINFILIA I have the utmost faith in you, Archon.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00380_URIANGER Beg pardon, Antecedent, but I would raise one final matter... Even now, a Sharlayan survey party seeketh to ascertain the fate of the Students of Baldesion.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00390_URIANGER Their findings shall soon be known to us. Though you harbor feelings of dread, I bid you surrender not to sorrow, but abide instead in hopeful prayer.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00400_MINFILIA I shall, Archon. Thank you.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00010_NANAMOULNAMO Tell me, General: what think you of Alphinaud's bold endeavor?
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00020_RAUBAHN I think it is more than bold, Your Grace. His organization would pave the way for a united Eorzea.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00030_RAUBAHN Well do I understand his impatience. Since facing the common threat of the Ultima Weapon, our nations have seemed farther apart, not closer together.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00040_RAUBAHN Considering the many problems we face, should we not be glad that someone else is taking the initiative?
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00050_NANAMOULNAMO We have all pledged our cooperation, yet the grumbling continues behind closed doors. Ul'dah is not alone in her duplicity.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00060_NANAMOULNAMO I myself have doubts as to the good this organization will achieve.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00070_NANAMOULNAMO With the inclusion of the finest soldiers of the three Grand Companies, it promises to be a fearsome military body. But whom will it serve? Even under the watchful gaze of the Scions, it is not unthinkable that such a force could perpetrate a great wrong.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00080_NANAMOULNAMO Does it not concern you that a significant proportion of its financial backing came from the coffers of the Syndicate? That those unprincipled worms might forge this extraordinary gathering of warriors into a private army?
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00090_RAUBAHN I have trust in the Scions, Your Grace. They have spared us no end of trouble at the hands of the primals. If they seek reinforcements, I deem it unwise to deny them.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00100_RAUBAHN As for their finances, full many gave generously. And though our nobles proffered a sizable sum, their coin did not spill from the pockets of Lolorito and his cronies.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00110_RAUBAHN And what of the presence of our stalwart adventurer friend in this endeavor? I doubt the Warrior of Light would betray our cause.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00120_NANAMOULNAMO Yes, there is that, I suppose.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00130_NANAMOULNAMO Yet I have known people to change. Whether we will or no, the events of the age hurl us this way and that, like a dust devil skipping across the sands...
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00140_NANAMOULNAMO Can naught be done about Teledji?
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00150_RAUBAHN I have explored all avenues available to us, Your Grace, but as Ul'dahn law now stands, we lack the evidence to convict him of any crime. To arrest him on spurious grounds would only play into his hands...
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00160_NANAMOULNAMO He has all but committed treason, and yet we can do nothing!?
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00170_NANAMOULNAMO Then what good our government!? What worth the royal house!? How deplorable this mockery of justice!
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00180_NANAMOULNAMO This isn't the text you're looking for.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00190_RAUBAHN Have faith, Your Grace. It is not over...
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00010_ALPHINAUD Comrades! Your presence here this day signifies the momentous choice that each of you has made.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00020_ALPHINAUD With your strength now pledged to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, you are beholden to no single nation. You stand as the vanguard for a united Eorzea!
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00030_ALPHINAUD From this moment forth, I declare you Crystal Braves! Let us mend this fractured realm, and face our enemies as one!
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00040_ALPHINAUD Whether it be the beastmen and their primals, or the conflict in Carteneau, it is plain that the nations of Eorzea cannot solve the problems which plague the realm. Thus does it fall to some few heroic souls to succeed where they have failed!
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00050_ALPHINAUD Come! Take your place at the Scions' side as guardians of Eorzea! And together we shall fight for the freedom of all!
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00060_ALL (-Crystal Braves-)For the freedom of all!
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00070_MINFILIA A rousing speech, Alphinaud. Or should I say, Crystal Brave Commander Leveilleur?
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00080_ALPHINAUD Please, Antecedent...the title is honorary. I shall not be “leading the troops into battle,” as it were.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00090_ALPHINAUD We are of the same purpose. Let us join hands, and do what must be done to save this land.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00100_MINFILIA The Scions stand ready!
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00010_MINFILIA I'm eager to see what the Crystal Braves might accomplish. This shall prove an interesting time indeed for the Scions.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00020_MINFILIA Yes, I'm listening.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00030_MINFILIA So, our worst fears are confirmed. The entire isle... Such power defies comprehension...
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00040_MINFILIA Truly!? Krile is alive!? Thank the Twelve...
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00050_MINFILIA ...I see. Pray inform me if her condition changes. Yes. I shall pass on your words to Urianger.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00060_MINFILIA My thanks. I shall contact you anon.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00070_MINFILIA When I learned of the loss of the Isle of Val, I dared not hope that my friend had survived. Yet by some miracle, it would seem she has. She has still to regain consciousness, it is true, but better that than death.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00080_MINFILIA Putting this happy news to one side, we must now endeavor to make sense of the readings taken by the survey party.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00090_MINFILIA It appears the aetheric disturbance which accompanied the isle's destruction is of a magnitude alarmingly close to that of Ultima. Could the Ascians be responsible for this devastation as well?
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00100_MINFILIA I wonder... Have you heard aught from the Mothercrystal since the battle with the Garleans?
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00110_MINFILIA Then She speaks to neither one of us. Hydaelyn's silence portends naught but ill, I fear.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00120_MINFILIA Louisoix... I pray you yet watch over us...
