11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000120_TATARU","I could try if you like!"

36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000330_PEDDLEROFNORVRANDT","Well, if it ain't the oldest joke in the book. Me grandad─gods rest his soul─used to tell that one to the barman at kickin'-out time."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000340_PEDDLEROFNORVRANDT","""An' when, pray tell, did we last have a dark night? Ye rotten old drunk ye!“ he'd reply."

43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000380_PEDDLEROFNORVRANDT","Well, I've roads to travel and wares to sell, but you─you'd best hurry along to the town nearby."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000390_PEDDLEROFNORVRANDT","Just head east through the trees, and aim for the shining tower. You'll find the place soon enough. 'Tis the biggest settlement for malms around."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000400_PEDDLEROFNORVRANDT","Go on, now, friend. They'll take good care of you in the Crystarium."
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000410_WARRIOROFDARKNESS","To dizzying heights it rises, the gleaming spire, its tip threatening to pierce the blinding canopy."
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000420_WARRIOROFDARKNESS","There it will all begin anew. Between Dark and Light, the pure and the corrupt─the one true struggle..."

61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000500_LYNA","(-Curt Gateguard-)Had you given me an honest answer, I would not have barred your way─we care little here for a person's place of origin. But instead you chose concealment, and I will not suffer you to pass..."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000501_LYNA","Hah!"
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000510_LYNA","(-Curt Gateguard-)That one had eaten. It must have gulped down the whole hand, ring and all..."
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000520_MYSTERYVOICE","(-???-)Everything all right, Captain?"
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000530_LYNA","(-Curt Gateguard-)Quite all right, my lord. Just a stray sin eater, and a weak one at that."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000540_MYSTERYVOICE","I see. Weak or not, we should be on the lookout for more."
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000550_MYSTERYVOICE","But I see you've met my guest. I will escort <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> to the Crystarium myself...if you've no objections?"
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000560_LYNA","(-Curt Gateguard-)Another of your mysterious friends, is it? I should have known."
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000570_LYNA","(-Curt Gateguard-)Very well. I'll inform the others your guest is to be given the run of the city."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000580_LYNA","(-Curt Gateguard-)Pray forgive my less-than-cordial welcome. May the rest of your stay with us be a pleasant one."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000590_MYSTERYVOICE","Come with me. I will answer whatever questions you have when we are somewhere more private."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000600_MYSTERYVOICE","Right, then. Before we plunge into the wheres and wherefores, let me first thank you for answering my summons."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000610_MYSTERYVOICE","I had intended to bring you directly to my personal quarters, but I fear my aim was...slightly off. That you were still able to make the crossing unharmed is...a great relief."
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000620_MYSTERYVOICE","And so we come to the question of where. The realm in which you now find yourself belongs to one of the thirteen reflections or shards─the First, to be precise─even if its inhabitants are largely oblivious to the fact."
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000630_MYSTERYVOICE","As to wherefore... Having been awarded the rather grandiose title of “Crystal Exarch,” I─in my capacity as caretaker of the Crystarium─thought to seek the aid of you and your companions."
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you ask?"
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Are the other Scions here?"
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused?"
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000640_MYSTERYVOICE","Ah. That...is a question with no simple answer. But all shall be explained in due course, I promise you."
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000650_MYSTERYVOICE","...An inkling, yes. I can only beg your forgiveness─matters here forced my hand. But all shall be explained in due course, I promise you."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000660_MYSTERYVOICE","Let us begin with the glaring skies up above."
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000670_MYSTERYVOICE","Here in the First, the world has been all but consumed by primordial Light."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000680_MYSTERYVOICE","It began a century ago, by this realm's reckoning. A luminous flood swallowing everything in its path. More than nine-tenths of this star was lost."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000690_MYSTERYVOICE","And the fortunate few who survived are hounded by abominations born of that catastrophe even now."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000700_MYSTERYVOICE","""Sin eaters,“ we call them. The creature you saw earlier was one such monstrosity."
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000710_MYSTERYVOICE","It was to save the First from this menace that I learned to bridge the rift between worlds─that I might call upon the aid of the greatest of heroes."
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000720_MYSTERYVOICE","Though it meant depriving a world of its champion, I had to try─for in saving the First, you would bring salvation to the Source as well."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000730_MYSTERYVOICE","But what manner of host harangues his guest in the middle of the road? Let us continue our talk within the Crystarium."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000740_WARRIOROFDARKNESS","Such a proud and vibrant city..."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000750_WARRIOROFDARKNESS","The sole sanctuary for the living in a world all but resigned to oblivion."
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000760_WARRIOROFDARKNESS","Each stone was laid with hope; the town itself a symbol, a monument to defiance in the face of death."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000770_WARRIOROFDARKNESS","No would-be hero could fail to answer its call. For who among us does not yearn for salvation?"
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000780_MYSTERYVOICE","Welcome to the Ocular, my private study. We can speak here without fear of being overheard."
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000790_MYSTERYVOICE","I have much to explain, but the truths which I must touch upon in doing so would cause only distress and confusion to the people of this world. Pray keep that in mind."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000800_MYSTERYVOICE","Now, I am sure you are desperate to know the fate of your fellow Scions."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000810_MYSTERYVOICE","To put it simply, they are here in the First..."
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000820_MYSTERYVOICE","Their arrival, however, was not as recent as you may imagine. Here, time flows at a different pace from that of the Source."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000830_MYSTERYVOICE","In the space of a single hour in your home world, an entire year might pass in the First─and the reverse could also be true. The pace fluctuates without rhyme or reason, and it cannot be predicted."
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000840_MYSTERYVOICE","That said, we seem to be entering a period of near-equivalence, and thus, for the moment, you need not overly concern yourself with the passage of time."
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000850_MYSTERYVOICE","As for your companions, however... Y'shtola and Urianger have dwelled here for three winters all told, while Thancred's count stands at five."
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000860_MYSTERYVOICE","Even our more “recent” arrivals, Alphinaud and Alisaie, have lived in the First for almost a year."
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000870_MYSTERYVOICE","My intention had been to summon only you, but the art of reaching across worlds has proven exceedingly difficult to master. Thus it was that my <Emphasis>fumbling</Emphasis> hand closed upon those to whom your fate is most closely bound as well."
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000880_MYSTERYVOICE","As they were not the object of my summons...their transference was...incomplete. Though they may appear to possess corporeal bodies, they are, in truth, merely spirits that one can see and touch."
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000890_MYSTERYVOICE","Consequently, while you yourself will be able to pass between worlds with relative freedom, they will not. Much as it grieves me...they are stranded here, unable to return."
105,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Then find a way to send them back."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE","What have they been doing all this time?"
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000900_MYSTERYVOICE","We spent every waking hour searching for a way to reverse the summoning. In the beginning, at least..."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000910_MYSTERYVOICE","As you may have surmised, however, our efforts met with little success. And then we all but abandoned the endeavor once Urianger shared with us the vision he had witnessed during his journey through the rift."
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000920_MYSTERYVOICE","In that chaotic no-man's-land between realms, time and space warp and blend in...unexpected ways. What Urianger saw...was the future. That which would one day come to pass."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000930_MYSTERYVOICE","In his vision of tomorrow, the First was rejoined with the Source..."
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000940_MYSTERYVOICE","This collision of worlds brought about the Eighth Umbral Calamity, and the deaths of countless multitudes."
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000950_MYSTERYVOICE","Amongst those who perished, Urianger clearly saw the fall of the Scions' mightiest champion. He watched you die."
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000960_MYSTERYVOICE","And thus did the Scions embrace their exile, and began searching this world for a means to forestall the coming catastrophe in yours."
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000970_MYSTERYVOICE","Their souls are stranded in the First, yes, but they have fought on, desperate to save their home─and you─from destruction."
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000980_MYSTERYVOICE","Nor have their efforts been in vain: for it was they who finally established that the elimination of the sin eaters will indeed serve to prevent the calamity."
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000990_MYSTERYVOICE","Considering the...circumstances of our meeting, you would be forgiven for doubting my version of events."
118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001000_MYSTERYVOICE","And so, before all else, I would suggest you track down your comrades, and hear the tale from their lips."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001010_MYSTERYVOICE","I shall, of course, be happy to assist in these reunions─and you need not make any decisions regarding your involvement until you are certain of where you stand."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001020_MYSTERYVOICE","Meanwhile, I promise I will not rest until I have found a way to help your friends return home."
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001030_MYSTERYVOICE","What say you? Have I earned your trust for the moment, at least?"
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE","For the moment."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Aye, but I'll see you keep that promise."
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A5_000_003_NONE_VOICE","For want of a better choice..."
126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001040_MYSTERYVOICE","Excellent. You will not regret this."
127,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001050_MYSTERYVOICE","With that settled, we shall have to see about getting you ready for the road."
128,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001060_MYSTERYVOICE","Traveling across the rift has no doubt left you weary─I will arrange for a room where you might rest in comfort. While it's being prepared, perhaps I can show you around?"
129,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001070_MYSTERYVOICE","This is the Musica Universalis, the commercial heart of the Crystarium. Aught you might need to prepare for your journeys can be purchased here."
130,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001080_MYSTERYVOICE","Ah, yes─you must be curious about the currency. Fear not! The gil you carry will serve you well enough."
131,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001090_MYSTERYVOICE","Each nation once minted its own coins, but 'twas all a jumbled mess following the Flood."
132,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001100_MYSTERYVOICE","After much debate, the local merchants eventually elected to revert to the old ways, wherein a coin's value was decided by the worth of its metal."
133,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001110_MYSTERYVOICE","As for a unit of measurement, we agreed upon the term “gil.” A word borrowed from coins uncovered within the Crystal Tower here."
134,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001120_MYSTERYVOICE","And as our traders peddled their wares across the land, so too did our usage of gil become common practice."
135,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001130_MYSTERYVOICE","From what Y'shtola tells me, a standard coin from the Source equates to exactly one gil here─or near enough not to matter."
136,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001140_MYSTERYVOICE","Our way of life has benefited greatly from the artifacts we recovered from the tower..."
137,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001150_MYSTERYVOICE","...Some of which may be familiar to you."
138,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001160_MYSTERYVOICE","But I fear it would not be practical for us to provide <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis> to which you are accustomed. You shall need a means to access the commodities of your home world..."
139,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001170_MYSTERYVOICE","[Are you there, my friend?]"
140,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001180_FEOUL","(-???-)Yes, I'm here, of course I'm here! What amusements do you have for me today?"
141,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001190_MYSTERYVOICE","My dear Feo Ul, paragon of pixie-kind. For you, I have the most vital task."
142,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001200_MYSTERYVOICE","This fine gentleman is a friend from a distant realm."
143,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001210_MYSTERYVOICE","This fine lady is a friend from a distant realm."
144,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001220_MYSTERYVOICE","And we have need of a means to ferry things back and forth from <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> home. Might you be able to...assist us in this matter?"
145,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001230_FEOUL","You came from beyond, didn't you!? From beyond the rift!"
146,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001240_FEOUL","How wonderfully exciting! What a brave and reckless and marvelous thing you did! You've the heart of a pixie, you do!"
147,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001250_FEOUL","After careful consideration, I have decided to grant you my assistance. Make a pact with me, and the fun can begin!"
148,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001260_FEOUL","But answer me this, traveler: did your garments come with you when you crossed over? Your teeth? Your nails?"
149,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001270_FEOUL","Just as I thought! Then you've a good, stout connection with your home, through which all your belongings great and small may easily pass."
150,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001280_FEOUL","From this moment forth, I will be your [beautiful branch], and you my [adorable sapling]. Like the branch which sprouts from the sapling, our bond will flow unbroken from one to the other!"
151,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001290_FEOUL","Raise your hand."
152,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001300_FEOUL","'Tis done! We are bound now, dearest sapling."
153,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001310_FEOUL","Come, come, then! Make your request! Tell me your desire! I wish to visit this world of yours!"
154,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001320_MYSTERYVOICE","Mayhap a message to your friends in the Source to inform them of your safe arrival?"
155,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Who will you contact?"
156,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Send a message to Tataru."
157,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Send a message to Krile."

6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000030_BIGGS Well if it isn't the hero of the hour! Maybe you'll change our luck─we've found bugger all without you.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000040_TATARU Biggs! Wedge!
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000050_BIGGS Aye, aye, well we could hardly say no to a call for aid from the Scions.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000060_BIGGS Jessie collared the chief for some other business, so we'll be working twice as hard to make up for his not being here.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000070_WEDGE Thrice as hard, even!

15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000120_TATARU I could try if you like!
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000130_WEDGE Tataru, no! We couldn't ask you to do that!
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000140_TATARU Oh, I'll be fine! This receptionist is not afraid to get her hands dirty!
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000150_BIGGS Sorry, I-I meant to say─the scholars haven't finished their preliminary assessment of the site yet, so we're not supposed to venture too far in.

35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000310_PEDDLEROFNORVRANDT Rare to meet someone out here who's not a peddler themself. What brings you into the wilds this time o' night?

54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000450_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)This is the threshold of the Crystarium, stranger, and I am its gatekeeper. If you would enter, you will answer my questions.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000460_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)From where do you hail?

63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000480_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)"The Source“? What is this cryptic nonsense?
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000490_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)You will not say? Then I have even less reason to trust you.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000500_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)Had you given me an honest answer, I would not have barred your way─we care little here for a person's place of origin. But instead you chose concealment, and I will not suffer you to pass...

67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000510_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)That one had eaten. It must have gulped down the whole hand, ring and all...

69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000530_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)Quite all right, my lord. Just a stray sin eater, and a weak one at that.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000540_MYSTERYVOICE I see. Weak or not, we should be on the lookout for more.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000550_MYSTERYVOICE But I see you've met my guest. I will escort <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> to the Crystarium myself...if you've no objections?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000560_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)Another of your mysterious friends, is it? I should have known.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000570_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)Very well. I'll inform the others your guest is to be given the run of the city.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000580_LYNA (-Curt Gateguard-)Pray forgive my less-than-cordial welcome. May the rest of your stay with us be a pleasant one.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000590_MYSTERYVOICE Come with me. I will answer whatever questions you have when we are somewhere more private.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000600_MYSTERYVOICE Right, then. Before we plunge into the wheres and wherefores, let me first thank you for answering my summons.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000610_MYSTERYVOICE I had intended to bring you directly to my personal quarters, but I fear my aim was...slightly off. That you were still able to make the crossing unharmed is...a great relief.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000620_MYSTERYVOICE And so we come to the question of where. The realm in which you now find yourself belongs to one of the thirteen reflections or shards─the First, to be precise─even if its inhabitants are largely oblivious to the fact.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000630_MYSTERYVOICE As to wherefore... Having been awarded the rather grandiose title of “Crystal Exarch,” I─in my capacity as caretaker of the Crystarium─thought to seek the aid of you and your companions.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you ask?
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE Are the other Scions here?
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused?
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000640_MYSTERYVOICE Ah. That...is a question with no simple answer. But all shall be explained in due course, I promise you.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000650_MYSTERYVOICE ...An inkling, yes. I can only beg your forgiveness─matters here forced my hand. But all shall be explained in due course, I promise you.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000660_MYSTERYVOICE Let us begin with the glaring skies up above.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000670_MYSTERYVOICE Here in the First, the world has been all but consumed by primordial Light.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000680_MYSTERYVOICE It began a century ago, by this realm's reckoning. A luminous flood swallowing everything in its path. More than nine-tenths of this star was lost.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000690_MYSTERYVOICE And the fortunate few who survived are hounded by abominations born of that catastrophe even now.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000700_MYSTERYVOICE "Sin eaters,“ we call them. The creature you saw earlier was one such monstrosity.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000710_MYSTERYVOICE It was to save the First from this menace that I learned to bridge the rift between worlds─that I might call upon the aid of the greatest of heroes.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000720_MYSTERYVOICE Though it meant depriving a world of its champion, I had to try─for in saving the First, you would bring salvation to the Source as well.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000730_MYSTERYVOICE But what manner of host harangues his guest in the middle of the road? Let us continue our talk within the Crystarium.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000740_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Such a proud and vibrant city...
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000750_WARRIOROFDARKNESS The sole sanctuary for the living in a world all but resigned to oblivion.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000760_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Each stone was laid with hope; the town itself a symbol, a monument to defiance in the face of death.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000770_WARRIOROFDARKNESS No would-be hero could fail to answer its call. For who among us does not yearn for salvation?
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000780_MYSTERYVOICE Welcome to the Ocular, my private study. We can speak here without fear of being overheard.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000790_MYSTERYVOICE I have much to explain, but the truths which I must touch upon in doing so would cause only distress and confusion to the people of this world. Pray keep that in mind.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000800_MYSTERYVOICE Now, I am sure you are desperate to know the fate of your fellow Scions.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000810_MYSTERYVOICE To put it simply, they are here in the First...
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000820_MYSTERYVOICE Their arrival, however, was not as recent as you may imagine. Here, time flows at a different pace from that of the Source.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000830_MYSTERYVOICE In the space of a single hour in your home world, an entire year might pass in the First─and the reverse could also be true. The pace fluctuates without rhyme or reason, and it cannot be predicted.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000840_MYSTERYVOICE That said, we seem to be entering a period of near-equivalence, and thus, for the moment, you need not overly concern yourself with the passage of time.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000850_MYSTERYVOICE As for your companions, however... Y'shtola and Urianger have dwelled here for three winters all told, while Thancred's count stands at five.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000860_MYSTERYVOICE Even our more “recent” arrivals, Alphinaud and Alisaie, have lived in the First for almost a year.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000870_MYSTERYVOICE My intention had been to summon only you, but the art of reaching across worlds has proven exceedingly difficult to master. Thus it was that my <Emphasis>fumbling</Emphasis> hand closed upon those to whom your fate is most closely bound as well.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000880_MYSTERYVOICE As they were not the object of my summons...their transference was...incomplete. Though they may appear to possess corporeal bodies, they are, in truth, merely spirits that one can see and touch.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000890_MYSTERYVOICE Consequently, while you yourself will be able to pass between worlds with relative freedom, they will not. Much as it grieves me...they are stranded here, unable to return.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE Then find a way to send them back.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE What have they been doing all this time?
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000900_MYSTERYVOICE We spent every waking hour searching for a way to reverse the summoning. In the beginning, at least...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000910_MYSTERYVOICE As you may have surmised, however, our efforts met with little success. And then we all but abandoned the endeavor once Urianger shared with us the vision he had witnessed during his journey through the rift.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000920_MYSTERYVOICE In that chaotic no-man's-land between realms, time and space warp and blend in...unexpected ways. What Urianger saw...was the future. That which would one day come to pass.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000930_MYSTERYVOICE In his vision of tomorrow, the First was rejoined with the Source...
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000940_MYSTERYVOICE This collision of worlds brought about the Eighth Umbral Calamity, and the deaths of countless multitudes.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000950_MYSTERYVOICE Amongst those who perished, Urianger clearly saw the fall of the Scions' mightiest champion. He watched you die.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000960_MYSTERYVOICE And thus did the Scions embrace their exile, and began searching this world for a means to forestall the coming catastrophe in yours.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000970_MYSTERYVOICE Their souls are stranded in the First, yes, but they have fought on, desperate to save their home─and you─from destruction.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000980_MYSTERYVOICE Nor have their efforts been in vain: for it was they who finally established that the elimination of the sin eaters will indeed serve to prevent the calamity.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_000990_MYSTERYVOICE Considering the...circumstances of our meeting, you would be forgiven for doubting my version of events.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001000_MYSTERYVOICE And so, before all else, I would suggest you track down your comrades, and hear the tale from their lips.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001010_MYSTERYVOICE I shall, of course, be happy to assist in these reunions─and you need not make any decisions regarding your involvement until you are certain of where you stand.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001020_MYSTERYVOICE Meanwhile, I promise I will not rest until I have found a way to help your friends return home.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001030_MYSTERYVOICE What say you? Have I earned your trust for the moment, at least?
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE For the moment.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE Aye, but I'll see you keep that promise.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A5_000_003_NONE_VOICE For want of a better choice...
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001040_MYSTERYVOICE Excellent. You will not regret this.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001050_MYSTERYVOICE With that settled, we shall have to see about getting you ready for the road.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001060_MYSTERYVOICE Traveling across the rift has no doubt left you weary─I will arrange for a room where you might rest in comfort. While it's being prepared, perhaps I can show you around?
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001070_MYSTERYVOICE This is the Musica Universalis, the commercial heart of the Crystarium. Aught you might need to prepare for your journeys can be purchased here.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001080_MYSTERYVOICE Ah, yes─you must be curious about the currency. Fear not! The gil you carry will serve you well enough.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001090_MYSTERYVOICE Each nation once minted its own coins, but 'twas all a jumbled mess following the Flood.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001100_MYSTERYVOICE After much debate, the local merchants eventually elected to revert to the old ways, wherein a coin's value was decided by the worth of its metal.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001110_MYSTERYVOICE As for a unit of measurement, we agreed upon the term “gil.” A word borrowed from coins uncovered within the Crystal Tower here.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001120_MYSTERYVOICE And as our traders peddled their wares across the land, so too did our usage of gil become common practice.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001130_MYSTERYVOICE From what Y'shtola tells me, a standard coin from the Source equates to exactly one gil here─or near enough not to matter.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001140_MYSTERYVOICE Our way of life has benefited greatly from the artifacts we recovered from the tower...
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001150_MYSTERYVOICE ...Some of which may be familiar to you.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001160_MYSTERYVOICE But I fear it would not be practical for us to provide <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis> to which you are accustomed. You shall need a means to access the commodities of your home world...
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001170_MYSTERYVOICE [Are you there, my friend?]
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001180_FEOUL (-???-)Yes, I'm here, of course I'm here! What amusements do you have for me today?
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001190_MYSTERYVOICE My dear Feo Ul, paragon of pixie-kind. For you, I have the most vital task.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001200_MYSTERYVOICE This fine gentleman is a friend from a distant realm.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001210_MYSTERYVOICE This fine lady is a friend from a distant realm.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001220_MYSTERYVOICE And we have need of a means to ferry things back and forth from <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> home. Might you be able to...assist us in this matter?
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001230_FEOUL You came from beyond, didn't you!? From beyond the rift!
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001240_FEOUL How wonderfully exciting! What a brave and reckless and marvelous thing you did! You've the heart of a pixie, you do!
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001250_FEOUL After careful consideration, I have decided to grant you my assistance. Make a pact with me, and the fun can begin!
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001260_FEOUL But answer me this, traveler: did your garments come with you when you crossed over? Your teeth? Your nails?
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001270_FEOUL Just as I thought! Then you've a good, stout connection with your home, through which all your belongings great and small may easily pass.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001280_FEOUL From this moment forth, I will be your [beautiful branch], and you my [adorable sapling]. Like the branch which sprouts from the sapling, our bond will flow unbroken from one to the other!
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001290_FEOUL Raise your hand.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001300_FEOUL 'Tis done! We are bound now, dearest sapling.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001310_FEOUL Come, come, then! Make your request! Tell me your desire! I wish to visit this world of yours!
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001320_MYSTERYVOICE Mayhap a message to your friends in the Source to inform them of your safe arrival?
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE Who will you contact?
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE Send a message to Tataru.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE Send a message to Krile.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001330_FEOUL Consider it done!
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001340_MYSTERYVOICE As you heard, that was Feo Ul of the pixies. Their kind possess an affinity for magic akin to that of arcane beings.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001350_MYSTERYVOICE They rarely show themselves in populated areas, but Feo is insatiably curious even by pixie standards, and seems to have taken a liking to the Crystarium.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001360_MYSTERYVOICE Right, we were going to organize a room for you, weren't we? Come along.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001370_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001380_WARRIOROFDARKNESS (-???-)...You...?
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001390_WARRIOROFDARKNESS (-???-)I know you... You're the Warrior of Light from the Source!
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE The Warrior of Darkness...?
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE And who are you?
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001400_WARRIOROFDARKNESS (-???-)What? Did you just... You can hear me!?
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001410_WARRIOROFDARKNESS (-???-)Oh, gods, how long has it been...?
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001420_WARRIOROFDARKNESS (-???-)...Aye...aye, that was what I called myself in your world... The “Warrior of Darkness.”
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001430_WARRIOROFDARKNESS My real name is Ardbert. I used an alias in the Source. A daft one, looking back...
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001440_WARRIOROFDARKNESS (-???-)...“And who are you?” <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> says. An enemy not worth remembering, apparently...
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001450_WARRIOROFDARKNESS My name is Ardbert. In the First, I was a Warrior of Light, but in the Source you knew me as the Warrior of Darkness.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001460_WARRIOROFDARKNESS If you recall my tale, it was my comrades and I who caused the Flood.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001470_WARRIOROFDARKNESS We thought our home doomed. And so we listened to the Ascians─let them guide us to the Source, and tried to hasten their godsdamned Ardor.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001480_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I remember when we fell, defeated by you and yours. I remember our audience with Minfilia─how she listened to our pleas, and returned our souls to the First.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001490_WARRIOROFDARKNESS The Flood was poised to swallow Norvrandt...
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001500_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Minfilia and my friends, they...they surrendered what little they had left to hold it back. Just faded away...leaving me to bear witness.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001510_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Tell me, do you know the year? How much time has passed since we caused the Flood?
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001520_WARRIOROFDARKNESS A hundred years... A hundred long years...
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001530_WARRIOROFDARKNESS My hands find no purchase. My gestures catch no eye. And my pleas, be they whispered or screamed, reach not a single ear...
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001540_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I am a shade, cursed to do naught but drift.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001550_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I feel as if I've been walking forever... I hardly noticed when my mind and body began to fray at the edges.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001560_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Then “bang,” my senses were sharp again. I felt like a fish being reeled in, and before I knew it, I found myself in this room.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001570_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Why is it that <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> can see me? What are you even doing here, come to that?
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001580_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You were summoned to save the First?
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001590_WARRIOROFDARKNESS A waste of time. This world is beyond saving─like those who try to save it.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001600_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Muddled as my mind may be, I've not forgotten that.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001610_WARRIOROFDARKNESS But if fate has brought me to you─the one person in this godsforsaken world who can see and hear me─then perhaps there is a reason I endured.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001620_WARRIOROFDARKNESS If I can find out why I was left behind, then maybe...maybe I can bring this journey of mine to an end...
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001630_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Well. I'll be watching, Warrior of Light.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001640_WARRIOROFDARKNESS But do me a favor. Be careful out there. This world has had its fill of heroes.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001650_MYSTERYVOICE Ah, how did you find your new quarters? I trust you were able to rest?
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE Well enough, thank you.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE I had a ghostly visitor...
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001660_MYSTERYVOICE That is good to hear. Should you want for anything, pray let me know.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001670_MYSTERYVOICE I...was not aware the room was haunted. And...you <Emphasis>were</Emphasis> rather tired... Well, should you receive another visitation, be sure to let me know.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001680_MYSTERYVOICE Now, let us return to the subject of the Scions' whereabouts.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001690_MYSTERYVOICE This map shows the lands of Norvrandt, the only area to be spared the Flood of Light.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001700_MYSTERYVOICE The Crystarium is here, in the region known as Lakeland.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001710_MYSTERYVOICE To the north is the faerie kingdom of Il Mheg. That is where you will find Urianger.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001720_MYSTERYVOICE To the east lies the once-prosperous civilization of Rak'tika. Y'shtola is stationed there, in the heart of the forest.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001730_MYSTERYVOICE Alas, neither location can be reached without considerable difficulty.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001740_MYSTERYVOICE As such, I would suggest you first seek out one of the twins─each of whom is stationed but a short flight from the Crystarium.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001750_MYSTERYVOICE Alphinaud is on Kholusia, an island off the western shore. It is home to a city called Eulmore, where the rich and privileged while away their days in idleness.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001760_MYSTERYVOICE For his part in furthering our cause, Alphinaud journeyed there to meet with the citizenry and forge alliances. From what I hear, he has since kept himself busy gathering information around the main settlement.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001770_MYSTERYVOICE Alisaie, meanwhile, traveled south to the arid wastes of Amh Araeng.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001780_MYSTERYVOICE They lie upon the very edge of the inhabitable world, where the Flood of Light was halted. Those who dwell there live in constant fear of attack by the sin eaters.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001790_MYSTERYVOICE In contrast to her brother, Alisaie felt that her energies would better be spent learning about the enemy. And thus she sells her services as a guard, both to hone her skills and gather information on our foe.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001800_MYSTERYVOICE So, will it be Kholusia or Amh Araeng? It matters not which you choose to visit first.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001810_MYSTERYVOICE Simply inform me once you have made your decision, and I will see to it that you are provided with a suitable mount.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001820_MYSTERYVOICE Ah, but you must be wondering about Thancred. He has taken up with...a new companion, and is presently engaged as a wandering hunter of sin eaters.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001830_MYSTERYVOICE Being ever on the move, his whereabouts are often difficult to ascertain, but I am certain your paths will cross ere long.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001840_WARRIOROFDARKNESS The whistling breeze, mute. The pounding surf, frozen. Time itself takes a breath...
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001850_WARRIOROFDARKNESS At Light's edge, all is perfectly still. The world captured in a painting; locked in a moment.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001860_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Music, faint and fleeting, drifts coastward on the lifeless air...
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001870_WARRIOROFDARKNESS And in the distance, beyond the broken earth, a city beckons...
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001880_ALPHINAUD (-???-)And how is business today, Mistress Theva?
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001890_THEVA Oh, frenetic. Look. I have a new customer.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001900_ALPHINAUD ...'Tis good to see you, my friend.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001910_ALPHINAUD The barley seeds you wanted. They should produce a better harvest than the last.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001920_THEVA What, just like that? Oh, Alphinaud, you really are a dear.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001930_THEVA Well, I'd best be tidying up some of those empty shacks before the pests move in. Keep an eye on the place while I'm out, eh?
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001940_ALPHINAUD It seems an age since last we spoke. Not since the prisoner exchange in Doma. And Yotsuyu...
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001950_ALPHINAUD It has been even longer for me, of course, if you count the days I have spent here. But the time has only added to the relief I feel, seeing you safe and well.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q9_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A9_000_001_NONE_VOICE Me? I was more worried about you.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A9_000_002_NONE_VOICE We thought we'd lost you.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001960_ALPHINAUD Hah! Alisaie said much the same thing. I don't think I've ever had such a scolding.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001970_ALPHINAUD But I believe an exchange of news is in order. Come─tell me of your arrival, and all that came before!
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001980_ALPHINAUD I see. Both the Exarch and Alisaie told me what they knew of events, but I had stubbornly clung on to the hope that all-out war might yet be avoidable...
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001990_ALPHINAUD And poor Tataru─she must be sick with worry. We must endeavor to return as soon as we may...
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_001991_ALPHINAUD 'Twould be nice to bring her good tidings for a change.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002000_ALPHINAUD But before we bid this world farewell, we must first ensure that it is not rejoined to the Source. We must prevent the Eighth Umbral Calamity.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002010_ALPHINAUD Urianger's vision of the future has, I fear, every chance of coming true.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002020_ALPHINAUD By his description, the catalyst for the Calamity was a formless and deadly weapon employed by the Garlean Empire.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002030_ALPHINAUD Which can only mean one thing: Black Rose. Gaius was telling you the truth. When we were on the trail of the Ascians, we saw evidence that the gas was being manufactured once more.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002040_ALPHINAUD Gaius was adamant that the project had been scrapped. But so long as there are wars to be waged, there will always be those determined to win by any means.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002050_ALPHINAUD And thus simply destroying the existing stores of Black Rose would do little to alter fate's course.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002060_ALPHINAUD In that sense, our involuntary journey here to the First was something of a boon.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002070_ALPHINAUD Together with the Exarch, we've developed a theory as to how we believe the Rejoining will be set in motion.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002080_ALPHINAUD I am sure Urianger himself will cover the subject in more detail...
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002090_ALPHINAUD But I can tell you the process requires that both worlds─the Source and the First─be facing an existential threat.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002100_ALPHINAUD One being sin eaters, of course.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002110_ALPHINAUD They are a menace that I would dearly love to remove, and not just to avert a calamity.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002120_ALPHINAUD I may be a stranger to this world, but I will not stand idly by and let innocent people be slaughtered.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002130_ALPHINAUD That is what brought me to the gates of Eulmore. Ignoring its pretentions as a kind of capital city to what remains of the world, it is nonetheless a center of power and authority.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002140_ALPHINAUD If any solutions are to be found, I believe our search should begin there. What say you, old friend? Hungry for another adventure?
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002150_ALPHINAUD And so we take to the road once more!
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002160_ALPHINAUD That gate up ahead is known as the “Open Arms,” and Eulmore itself lies beyond.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002170_ALPHINAUD This, meanwhile, is the aptly named “Gatetown.” The dwelling place of the many desperate souls who hope to be chosen to live in the city proper.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002180_GATETOWNMIDDLEAGE Oh! I thought I recognized you. Brought a new friend, eh?
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002190_GATETOWNMIDDLEAGE Heh heh heh heh... I'll bet you've got a trick or two up your sleeve. Maybe even <Emphasis>three</Emphasis>! Care to show me?
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002200_ALPHINAUD He's not here to compete. Leave him be.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002210_ALPHINAUD She's not here to compete. Leave her be.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002220_GATETOWNMIDDLEAGE What!? I was only making conversation!
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002230_CLOWNOFBLUE (-???-)Ladies and gentlemen! Your attention pleeease!
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002240_CLOWNOFRED Greetings to our hopeful petitioners, one and all! Eulmore extends its warmest regards!
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002250_CLOWNOFRED Let it be known that a lady of distinction wishes to dine on fish divine!
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002260_CLOWNOFBLUE We seek a master culinarian who can guarantee seafood perfection! Dazzle the matron with your delicious dishes, and life in the city will be yours to enjoy. Even on days when fish is not on the menu!
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002270_CLOWNOFRED Who among you will answer the call? Name yourself or another, we mind not at all!
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002280_GATETOWNMIDDLEAGE Fish, is it?
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002290_GATETOWNMAN Was there anyone?
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002300_GATETOWNWOMAN What about that girl?
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002310_ALPHINAUD Do you recall how I said Eulmore was a center of power and authority? Well, that is not the only reason for its fame.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002320_ALPHINAUD It is also known as the “city of final pleasures.” The noble and the wealthy who survived the Flood gathered here to live out the rest of their days in decadent abandon.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002330_ALPHINAUD A poor man could sooner pass through the eye of a needle than Eulmore's gates. The only way the commonfolk can enter this perverted paradise is if they fulfill the whim of one of the privileged. And so they are picked over like market produce...
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002340_CLOWNOFRED Ohoho! What a catch! We'll not be throwing this one back!
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002350_CLOWNOFRED Having seen your all-too-obvious charms, we welcome you with open arms! Come, join us in the city of splendor, and live out your life in an ecstasy of endeavor!
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002360_CLOWNOFBLUE Ah, just look at those expectant faces! What could you <Emphasis>possibly</Emphasis> be waiting for!?
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002370_CLOWNOFBLUE Well, well, what have we here!? An extra share of meol to celebrate our newest resident!
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002380_CLOWNOFRED For you!
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002390_CLOWNOFBLUE Enjoy!
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002391_GATETOWNMIDDLEAGE Ah, at last!
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002392_GATETOWNMAN Thank goodness.
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002393_GATETOWNWOMAN Over here!
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002400_ALPHINAUD “Meol” is a foodstuff which Eulmore routinely doles out to the people of Gatetown, and apparently a staple for its citizens as well.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002410_ALPHINAUD Many here rely on it to survive in these times of scarcity. Yet the whole arrangement just seems...
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002411_ALPHINAUD Well, let us just say it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002420_ALPHINAUD There you are!
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002430_ALPHINAUD The thief who claimed the harvest on <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> behalf. Hand it over.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002440_KAISHIRR (-Blue-haired Mystel-)Wha─ I...I...
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002450_KAISHIRR (-Blue-haired Mystel-)Forgive me, I just─ I have to get into the city!
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002460_KAISHIRR (-Blue-haired Mystel-)I have no family, and all my friends have already been chosen.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002470_KAISHIRR (-Blue-haired Mystel-)No one here gives a damn about me. When the meol gets handed out, I'm lucky if I get a smell of it!
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002480_KAISHIRR (-Blue-haired Mystel-)No matter what I do, they won't call out my name! I'm so tired─I'm so <Emphasis>bloody</Emphasis> hungry...
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002490_KAISHIRR (-Blue-haired Mystel-)I thought maybe I could steal your idea─get in that way...
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002500_ALPHINAUD ...What is your name?
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002510_KAISHIRR Kai-Shirr...
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002520_ALPHINAUD Tell me then, Kai-Shirr─must it be Eulmore or nothing?
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002530_ALPHINAUD What of the Crystarium? They may not offer charity, but you would be fairly compensated for any work you did.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002540_KAISHIRR No, no, it has to be Eulmore!
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002550_KAISHIRR That's where all my friends are. We made a promise that we'd live together in paradise...
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002560_ALPHINAUD ...I was to make my deal with the Ondo at the Clave. Listen carefully, and I shall tell you my plans for the business, and how best to arouse the Eulmorans' interest.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002570_KAISHIRR You'll give me your place? Just like that?
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002580_ALPHINAUD I'm giving you a chance, nothing more. What comes of it is entirely up to you.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002590_KAISHIRR ...I understand! Oh thank you, thank you!
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002600_ALPHINAUD This was but one path─there will be others. But for young Kai-Shirr, it was the difference between life and death.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002610_ALPHINAUD I do not regret my decision...yet I will admit that a part of me wonders if it was for the best.
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002620_ALPHINAUD We strive to bring swift salvation to this world, that countless lives might be saved─not least your own. Even if it came at the cost of one man, should I have forged on regardless...?
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q10_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A10_000_001_NONE_VOICE That's not who you are.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A10_000_002_NONE_VOICE Quite possibly. Meaning we'd better hurry up and think of a new plan.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002630_ALPHINAUD I suppose not... Were Estinien here, he would most likely scoff at my soft-heartedness. “Same old Alphinaud. Ever the slave to sentiment.”
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002640_ALPHINAUD But I thank you for your kind words, nonetheless. Let us see to it that both these stories have a happy ending.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002650_ALPHINAUD Indeed. We will find another way, I promise you.

314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002680_ALPHINAUD I can't be sure, but I-I think someone's in trouble!
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002690_ALPHINAUD Come on, they may need our help!
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002700_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Redemption is beyond us.

318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002720_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Once, they held fast against the madness, only to embrace the coming cataclysm and delight in the end of days.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002730_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Perhaps in rapture they seek to lose themselves and the misery they share...
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002740_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Or perhaps for them alone the promise of eternal pleasure really does hold true.

322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002760_ALPHINAUD Lord and Lady Chai, pray forgive our intrusion. I am given to understand you were in search...of an <Emphasis>artist</Emphasis>?

326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002800_DULIACHAI I approve of this one, dearest! I am <Emphasis>positive</Emphasis> he will paint us the most delightful pictures.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002810_CHAINUZZ I, um, er, y-yes... Ahem. Well, as long as he paints better than that talentless wretch we sent packing last week...
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002820_DULIACHAI Wonderful, wonderful! Welcome to Eulmore...um, er...

330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002840_CHAINUZZ Your...assistant? I've heard of folk bringing in family members, but this seems a bit irregular. Aren't you a little young to have a protégé?
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002850_ALPHINAUD We are family in all but name, my lord. Though we share no blood, we have stood by each other through life's many challenges, resolved to prevail together─or not at all.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002860_ALPHINAUD Of all people, 'tis he who best understands my work. With his unique insight guiding my hand, the art I create is sure to satisfy your expectations.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002870_ALPHINAUD Of all people, 'tis she who best understands my work. With her unique insight guiding my hand, the art I create is sure to satisfy your expectations.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002880_ALPHINAUD Once the picture is begun, of course, I shall have no need of constant encouragement.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002890_ALPHINAUD And so I wondered, rather than <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> being in your way, might it then be permissible for my assistant to explore the city <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> has so longed to see?
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002900_ALPHINAUD Out of gratitude for <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> <Emphasis>priceless</Emphasis> contribution to my art, I thought it only fair that I make this humble request on <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> behalf.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002910_DULIACHAI Oooh, did you ever hear of such devotion!

340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002940_ALPHINAUD That's him. That's Vauthry!
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002950_ALPHINAUD He is attended by sin eaters...? But how does he keep them from attacking?

345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_002990_VAUTHRY Who are these impudent louts? I do not recall requesting their presence.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003000_ALPHINAUD Lord Vauthry! What is the meaning of this? Why is this poor man bleeding to death on your floor!?
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003010_VAUTHRY Why? You ask me why? Because criminals must be punished, and this man is guilty of fraud.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003020_VAUTHRY He came to us claiming to be a man of business, yet his subsequent conduct has shown him to be anything but!
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003030_VAUTHRY Eulmore is a city built on love for one's fellow man. Those who have naught to give and live only to take are a blight upon our society!
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003040_VAUTHRY To atone for this crime, I ordered that he fling himself from the balcony.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003050_VAUTHRY And he had the <Emphasis>temerity</Emphasis> to weep! “Please, my lord! Anything but that!”
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003060_VAUTHRY What then is a man of mercy to do, but offer the sinner another way to show his contrition?
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003070_ALPHINAUD "Another way“ meaning what, exactly!?
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003080_VAUTHRY Sin eaters are part of Eulmore's society. But they must be fed with aether─<Emphasis>living</Emphasis> aether.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003090_VAUTHRY So─I demanded an offering of flesh! Carved by his own hand, from his own hide!
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003100_VAUTHRY And still! <Emphasis>Still</Emphasis>, he could not do as I asked!
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003110_VAUTHRY A wholly unsatisfactory performance!
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003120_ALPHINAUD 'Tis true that Kai-Shirr won his place here by fraud. But his actions were driven only by a desire to share in your paradise.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003130_ALPHINAUD That you would cast him out I could almost accept, but to humiliate him thus? To demand his very <Emphasis>life</Emphasis>!? Is this truly the way of Eulmore!?
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003140_VAUTHRY Oh, you dim, deluded child... Have you ever paused to consider what it takes to maintain such a paradise in this barren, broken world of ours?
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003150_VAUTHRY The guarantee of safety and stability. The knowledge that if one only abides by the rules, one has naught to fear.
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003160_VAUTHRY I alone can offer these things, for I alone can command the sin eaters.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003170_VAUTHRY And thus am I alone the voice of justice─and any who oppose me villains to be punished!
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003180_ALPHINAUD And people call this paradise...
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003190_VAUTHRY <Emphasis>You</Emphasis> were granted a place in my city for a particular skill. What was it?
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003200_ALPHINAUD ...Painting.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003210_VAUTHRY Oho, an artiste! Then you shall paint a picture for me. Of Eulmore.
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003220_VAUTHRY If I find your art <Emphasis>pleasing</Emphasis>, then I may excuse this display of insolence.
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003230_VAUTHRY Who gave you permission to tend to that criminal's wounds!? I told you to paint me a picture!
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003240_ALPHINAUD What you need is a mirror, not a painting. It will capture the horror I see before me far better than I ever could.

372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003260_KAISHIRR I think so...

378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003320_WARRIOROFDARKNESS When I journeyed here, long ago, I spoke with a sun-weathered elder.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003330_WARRIOROFDARKNESS He told me Amh Araeng meant “majestic land” in the language of his people.

385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003350_CASSARD Master Ghen Gen, this is the friend of the Exarch I was telling you about.
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003360_GHENGEN Very good, very good! Though friend or no, all are welcome in Mord Souq.
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003370_CASSARD "Souq“ is Mordish for ”city.“ As things stand, this souq boasts the largest and busiest marketplace in all Amh Araeng.
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003380_CASSARD You'll find ore from the mines here, of course, but all manner of other things too─many of them rare.
389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003390_CASSARD As I told you before, not many visit Amh Araeng by choice, but Mord Souq's a different story. Merchants come from malms around to purchase the relics the Mord dig up.
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003400_GHENGEN Aye, that they do, for Mord do not dismiss the spoils of the earth. We clean them and polish them and reveal to the world their true value!
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003410_GHENGEN That is why they come here! Come from far away! Come with much money!
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003420_GHENGEN And so our souq is always busy, busy, busy! No such thing as a thing no one needs!
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003430_CASSARD You say that every time, Master Ghen Gen! Some sort of family motto, wasn't it?
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003440_CASSARD Or perhaps a Mord philosophy─for which we should all be very grateful. Would that everyone was so willing to take in refugees regardless of race or creed.
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003450_CASSARD Now, then─if you intend to spend any time here, you'll want to gain the trust of the locals.
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003460_CASSARD And there's a little custom all newcomers are expected to observe...
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003470_GHENGEN The cracking of the coinpurse! You buy one thing from the market. Price can be low or high, just as long as you buy!
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003480_CASSARD ...As the good Mord says. In fact, the Exarch sent a little something to cover this very expense.
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003490_CASSARD A Voeburt gold piece, no less! The first I've held in years.

416 412 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003630_ALISAIE I had it under control! ...Right up until the moment I didn't. I'll do better next time.
417 413 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003640_ALISAIE I knew you'd turn up sooner or later, but I had been hoping for <Emphasis>sooner</Emphasis>.
418 414 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003650_ALISAIE How are you?
419 415 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003660_ALISAIE We've fought them to a standstill, then...
420 416 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003670_ALISAIE The Exarch did say that the Empire seemed to have drawn back when he last looked in on the Source. But without knowing for sure how fast time was passing there, I couldn't help worrying that a lot might have happened since then.
421 417 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003680_ALISAIE I'm heartily relieved to hear that it hasn't─just as Alphinaud must have been. As you can imagine, both he and Urianger were desperate to hear the news from home when I arrived.
422 418 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003690_ALISAIE I haven't actually seen Thancred and Y'shtola yet, but they will have heard all the latest developments from the Exarch by now─or should have, at least.
423 419 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003700_ALISAIE When I think of how frantic Tataru and the others must be, I want nothing more than to rush back and reassure them...
424 420 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003710_ALISAIE But we still haven't found a way to reverse the summoning. And even if we had, we couldn't just ignore Urianger's vision.
425 421 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003720_ALISAIE He may use ten words where one would suffice─and they may often obscure as much as they reveal...
426 422 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003730_ALISAIE But on this matter, he was as clear as day. I do not doubt for one moment that he saw what he claims.
427 423 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003740_ALISAIE Nor how difficult it must have been to speak about them. The Eighth Umbral Calamity and your death aren't exactly topics for idle conversation.
428 424 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003750_ALISAIE As much as I might want to go home, I don't want to go home to that. We can't allow the Rejoining to happen, which means we have to save the First from the sin eaters.
429 425 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003760_ALISAIE That great wall of white is a remnant of the Flood.
430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003770_ALISAIE A hundred years ago, the balance in the First tipped decisively in favor of Light. From that moment, it rose and swelled with each passing day─and then, without warning, it burst forth like water from a broken dam.
431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003780_ALISAIE ...A colossal wave of pure Light, drowning everything in its wake. Only Norvrandt was spared.
432 428 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003790_ALISAIE For the most part, living things are composed of aether of various different aspects.
433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003800_ALISAIE But when exposed to such a flood, their aetheric harmony is shattered, and their natural form breaks down.
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003810_ALISAIE Then they either perish...or are warped into mindless abominations.
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003820_ALISAIE Yes, that's how the sin eaters came to be. They were once living creatures─or people─that were caught in the path of the Flood.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003830_ALISAIE Once the change is wrought, there is no going back. In that instant, they are gripped by an insatiable appetite for aether, and will happily gorge themselves on any living thing within reach.
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003840_ALISAIE But even that is not the worst of it. The stronger sin eaters can plant Light in us like seeds in soil, corrupting our aether, and triggering the birth of new monstrosities.
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003850_ALISAIE They are creatures of base instinct that exist only to feed and to multiply. They feel no pity, know no remorse, and are utterly deaf to reason. Which is why they must be destroyed. Every last one of them.
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003860_ALISAIE The infirmary is full of the sin eaters' victims, left here to spend their final hours waiting for the change to overtake them...
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003870_ALISAIE Look, over there─where the wall is broken.
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003880_ALISAIE Do you see what lies beyond?
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003890_ALISAIE That's what the land became after the Light flooded in. An empty white nothingness.
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003900_ALISAIE Life cannot exist in such conditions. The primordial Light would wreak havoc on the body's aetheric balance.
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003910_ALISAIE That nectarine you bought...it's Halric's favorite fruit.
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003920_ALISAIE Most of the patients, Halric included, survived the attacks of powerful eaters.
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003930_ALISAIE But their fate was sealed all the same. The monsters' corruption has entered their bodies, and their very essence is being subsumed by Light.
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003940_ALISAIE The twisted state of the world itself just makes matters worse. Under normal circumstances, a person's aether naturally tends to equilibrium, but for these poor souls, the opposite is true.
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003950_ALISAIE Sooner or later, every single one of them will turn.
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003960_ALISAIE Tesleen and the patients, they all know this. They know what has to be done before the change goes too far─before the eater within takes over.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003970_ALISAIE The preferred method is mixing poison into their favorite food. In my time here, I've borne witness to a lot of last meals.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003980_ALISAIE I feel just as helpless as before. No matter how hard I fight, it's never enough.
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_003990_ALISAIE But it's a war I mean to wage, nonetheless. ...Speaking of wars, do you remember how I made you promise not to leave me, and then promptly collapsed?
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004000_ALISAIE Well, let's just say I had a few choice words for the Exarch concerning the timing of his summons...
454 450 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004010_ALISAIE But even if the fault lay with someone else, I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd abandoned you on the battlefield.
455 451 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004020_ALISAIE So I swore that I'd make up for my absence there by making a difference here.
456 452 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004030_ALISAIE And that's what keeps me moving forward...even when things seem hopeless.
457 453 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004040_ALISAIE On which note, it's time we headed back. The longer we keep Tesleen waiting, the harder this will be for her...
458 454 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004050_TESLEEN Speak up if you'd like another helping. I made a little bit more than usual today.
459 455 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004060_ALISAIE And you've added something special to the broth, if I'm not mistaken?
460 456 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004070_TESLEEN Aye, well, it's not often we have visitors from the Crystarium, so I may have thrown in a few extra bits and bobs.
461 457 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q13_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
462 458 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A13_000_001_NONE_VOICE You needn't have gone to the trouble.
463 459 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A13_000_002_NONE_VOICE I'll have another bowl, then!
464 460 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004080_TESLEEN Oh, it's nothing, really! And we do so rarely have guests.
465 461 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004090_TESLEEN That's what I like to hear! Give me a moment to warm up the pot.
466 462 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004100_TESLEEN In a place like this, you learn to take what moments of happiness you can get.
467 463 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004110_TESLEEN I remember when I first came here with my mother. She was showing the early signs...
468 464 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004120_TESLEEN I knew there was no way to save her, but I just couldn't face what needed to be done. That's the way of it for most people─why they travel for malms to stay here.
469 465 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004130_TESLEEN Beaten, broken souls come to wait out the inevitable. To receive the mercy of a painless death.
470 466 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004140_TESLEEN When my mother finally left this world, I was mad with grief, but also thankful that her passing was a peaceful one.
471 467 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004150_TESLEEN It's never easy, ending a life you've cared for. Even when you believe they go on to a better place.
472 468 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004160_TESLEEN I often find myself wishing the Warrior of Darkness would come and do that part for me.
473 469 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004170_ALISAIE The Warrior of Darkness...?
474 470 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004180_TESLEEN You've never heard the tale? I'm not sure where it began, but every child in Norvrandt could tell you a version of it.
475 471 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004190_TESLEEN "Warrior of Darkness, servant of death, take care of our souls at our dying breath...
476 472 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004200_TESLEEN “Let sinners and eaters of sin go with thee, That all may return to the sunless sea.”
477 473 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004210_TESLEEN ...Well, that's the version I was taught anyway. It's just an old bedtime story─he's certainly never deigned to visit us here.
478 474 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004220_ALISAIE Which is a good thing, surely? He sounds rather ominous.
479 475 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004230_TESLEEN Do you think so? I always liked the idea that he treated every soul the same, even the sin eaters.
480 476 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004240_JOURNEYSHEADPATIENT They're coming...

484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004280_ALISAIE No luck, then. But he surely can't have gone far.
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004290_ALISAIE We should keep looking. The sin eaters are out in force, and if we don't find him soon, you can be sure they will.
486 482 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004300_ALISAIE Did you see the size of that thing? It must be one of the nasty ones.
487 483 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004310_ALISAIE Wherever it's going, it can only mean trouble. After it!
488 484 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004320_ALISAIE There it is!

501 497 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004440_MYSTERYVOICE And so you return.
502 498 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004450_MYSTERYVOICE Have you gained a better understanding of the crisis now faced by the First?
503 499 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004460_ALISAIE "Better“ is not the word I would use.
504 500 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004470_ALISAIE Some lands may have been spared the Flood, but the survivors live only to suffer. There seems no end to the horrors inflicted by the sin eaters.
505 501 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004480_MYSTERYVOICE Indeed. Those abominations are a calamity in their own right. And I can well imagine how hopeless the task of eradicating them must seem to you.
506 502 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004490_MYSTERYVOICE But after countless battles and untold sacrifice, we have identified a potential weakness.
507 503 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004500_MYSTERYVOICE Sin eaters are drawn to serve the strongest of their kind─a class of creature we call “Lightwardens.” And from what we have been able to ascertain, only a handful of these entities exist.
508 504 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004510_MYSTERYVOICE Just as an ant colony will perish in the absence of its queen, we believe that the death of a Lightwarden will cause the lesser creatures within its sphere of influence to disperse.
509 505 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004520_ALPHINAUD I have a feeling Eulmore might have something to say about any concerted action we take against these monsters.
510 506 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004530_ALPHINAUD Vauthry's command over the sin eaters is integral to Eulmoran society. In seeming to guarantee his people's safety, it guarantees their obedience.
511 507 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004540_ALPHINAUD He will not take kindly to us depriving him of such useful allies.
512 508 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004550_MYSTERYVOICE Agreed. Thus we will need to occupy or otherwise divert his forces whilst we proceed with the business of eliminating the Wardens.
513 509 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004560_MYSTERYVOICE Until we have done so, all other considerations must be set aside if we are to forestall the Eighth Umbral Calamity.
514 510 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q14_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
515 511 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A14_000_001_NONE_VOICE Are you sure that eliminating the Wardens will be enough?
516 512 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A14_000_002_NONE_VOICE I'm not sure I follow...
517 513 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004570_MYSTERYVOICE Your uncertainty is understandable, given the circumstances. Perhaps a more detailed explanation is in order. To begin at the beginning, then...
518 514 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004580_MYSTERYVOICE In the ancient past, a single star was divided into fourteen worlds.
519 515 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004590_MYSTERYVOICE This is the Source─your home. These others are the thirteen shards, in whose number we find the First.
520 516 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004600_MYSTERYVOICE Though physically separate, they retain a connection to each other, and with the Source especially.
521 517 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004610_MYSTERYVOICE Now, let us assume that a given element in one of the shards attains abnormal ascendancy.
522 518 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004620_MYSTERYVOICE Just as water will flow from the highest point to the lowest, the excess energy will begin trickling into the Source...
523 519 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004630_MYSTERYVOICE And such an influx of aether will of course exert a palpable influence.
524 520 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004640_MYSTERYVOICE If the element in question were fire, then drought and wild fires might ensue. If it were ice, one might expect the weather to turn bitterly cold.
525 521 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004650_MYSTERYVOICE As aether continues to pour in, such phenomena will become more and more extreme, until eventually, a single untimely event triggers a disaster which “cracks” the barrier dividing the two worlds.
526 522 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004660_MYSTERYVOICE What was once a trickle now becomes a deluge, sweeping the shard along to be rejoined with the Source.
527 523 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004670_MYSTERYVOICE At the same time, the element which held sway in the shard is unleashed in full, its energies amplifying the original disaster to truly catastrophic proportions.
528 524 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004680_MYSTERYVOICE An earthquake thus magnified might strike with enough force to shatter continents; a tidal wave might swell to a size capable of drowning entire nations.
529 525 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004690_MYSTERYVOICE These devastating events are what we refer to as “Umbral Calamities.”
530 526 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004700_MYSTERYVOICE Seven times has a calamity befallen the Source; seven times has a shard been absorbed.
531 527 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004710_MYSTERYVOICE At present, the Light-drowned realm of the First stands perilously close to meeting the conditions for a Rejoining.
532 528 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004720_MYSTERYVOICE It is the sin eaters who are to blame for the Light's continued dominance.
533 529 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004730_MYSTERYVOICE In addition to attracting their lesser kin, the Lightwardens I mentioned earlier radiate aether, saturating every corner of their territory with Light.
534 530 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004740_MYSTERYVOICE Even here in the Flood-spared region of Norvrandt, their influence is strong enough to banish night from the sky.
535 531 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004750_MYSTERYVOICE Thus, if we are to restore balance to the First and head off a potential calamity, it is imperative that we put each and every Lightwarden to the sword.
536 532 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004760_ALISAIE We've been doing our best to take the fight to the enemy ever since we first heard the Exarch's explanation.
537 533 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004770_ALPHINAUD Though we have yet to claim any meaningful victories, if truth be told.
538 534 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004780_ALPHINAUD Apart from being confoundingly elusive, the Lightwardens possess a troublesome quality which compelled us to delay our plans until such time as you arrived.
539 535 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004790_LYNA Forgive the interruption, my lord, but Holminster Switch is requesting reinforcements!
540 536 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004800_LYNA They say the sin eaters are attacking in force, and the village could soon be overrun.
541 537 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004810_MYSTERYVOICE Alert the guard. We should be prepared in case the fighting reaches the Crystarium.
542 538 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004820_MYSTERYVOICE You have command of our forces in the field, Captain, but hold off on entering the town until I arrive. That goes for Alphinaud and Alisaie as well.
543 539 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004830_LYNA My lord!
544 540 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004840_MYSTERYVOICE Pray, lend us your strength. Such a fight will provide you with far greater insight than any explanation I could offer.
545 541 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004850_LYNA It's releasing its aether. Fall back!
546 542 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004860_LYNA We cannot let it touch us. Quickly, my lord, we must withdraw!
547 543 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004870_MYSTERYVOICE That will not be necessary, Captain.
548 544 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004880_MYSTERYVOICE ...Though I appreciate your concern. The eternal Light of these creatures has confounded us for nigh on a hundred years. For each we have put down, another has risen up in its place, born of the selfsame aether relinquished by its predecessor.
549 545 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004890_MYSTERYVOICE But now we have a way to contain that corruption.
550 546 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004900_MYSTERYVOICE The blessing of Light! And the hero who wields it now stands before you!
551 547 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004910_MYSTERYVOICE The blessing of Light! And the hero who wields it now stands before you!
552 548 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004920_MYSTERYVOICE Behold! The monster's power is broken! And the world twisted by its touch returns to its rightful form!

559 555 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_004990_LYNA Is that...what I think it is?
560 556 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005000_ALPHINAUD The night sky, as it should be.
561 557 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005010_LYNA Who <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> you people?
562 558 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005020_LYNA You killed a Warden, then bathed in its aether as if it were a spring shower, and now the sky...? The legends are true!
563 559 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005030_LYNA My lord...?
564 560 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005040_MYSTERYVOICE How many years have I waited for this moment...
565 561 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005050_MYSTERYVOICE For the one possessed of Her blessing. For you.
566 562 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005060_MYSTERYVOICE You have vanquished the Lightwarden of Lakeland, and for the first time in a century darkness has returned to the mantle of night.
567 563 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005070_MYSTERYVOICE Without the ever-present Light to sustain them, the sin eaters will have no choice but to retreat.
568 564 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005080_MYSTERYVOICE ...Yet our victory is far from complete.
569 565 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005090_MYSTERYVOICE Though darkness has fallen here, the other Wardens yet bask beneath burning skies, feasting upon what little life remains.
570 566 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005100_MYSTERYVOICE Even should it cost me all I have, I would see each and every one of them slain, that this world might be spared from oblivion!
571 567 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005110_MYSTERYVOICE Not only for the First, but for the Source as well! Save one and we save the other! But...be that as it may...I concede it was wrong of me to summon you to this fight against your will.
572 568 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005120_MYSTERYVOICE I swear on my life, I will one day atone for that deed. But for the present...
573 569 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005130_MYSTERYVOICE I beg you stay and see this fight to its conclusion. Cast down the Wardens, and restore Darkness to the First!
574 570 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q15_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
575 571 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A15_000_001_NONE_VOICE I will become the Warrior you need.
576 572 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A15_000_002_NONE_VOICE It sounds like a glorious adventure!
577 573 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A15_000_003_NONE_VOICE It seems I've no choice but to fight.
578 574 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005140_MYSTERYVOICE On behalf of the First, I offer you my deepest thanks.
579 575 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005150_ALISAIE I understand there is much at stake here, Exarch, but why do you risk yourself so readily? It must have been a dangerous drain on your aether to summon even one person across the rift.
580 576 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005160_MYSTERYVOICE I do it for my people, of course─to give the Crystarium the tomorrow it deserves.
581 577 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005170_ALISAIE That is true <Emphasis>now</Emphasis>, yes─but the city had yet to be built when you first called forth the Crystal Tower.
582 578 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005180_ALISAIE I'm simply curious to know what prompted you to commit yourself so completely to this particular course.
583 579 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005190_MYSTERYVOICE There are...things which we can ill afford to lose.
584 580 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005200_MYSTERYVOICE And...I sensed from the first that I had a part to play in preserving them.
585 581 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005210_MYSTERYVOICE Forgive me. I fear the events of the day may have taken their toll.
586 582 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005220_MYSTERYVOICE Despite appearances, I am an old man─one burdened with many...difficult memories, some too painful to recall.
587 583 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005230_ALISAIE Well, then I'm sorry for pressing you. It's a family failing, I'm afraid.
588 584 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005240_ALPHINAUD Hmph. One which has served us well, more often than not. Needless to say, we will continue to fight at your side until the last sin eater is defeated.
589 585 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005250_MYSTERYVOICE Come then, my Warriors of Darkness─let us gather the surviving villagers, and make our way back to the Crystarium.
590 586 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005260_WARRIOROFDARKNESS So it's your lot's turn to be the Warriors of Darkness, is it? It's funny how things work out.
591 587 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_Q16_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
592 588 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A16_000_001_NONE_VOICE Been watching, have you?
593 589 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_A16_000_002_NONE_VOICE These are my “private” quarters...
594 590 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005270_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Well, I did warn you. I followed you to Eulmore and then on to Amh Araeng. And I was there when you slew the Lightwarden.
595 591 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005280_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Aye, I know. Just the place.
596 592 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005290_WARRIOROFDARKNESS In case you've forgotten, you're the only one who can see me. If we had one of our little chats in public, people might start thinking you'd lost your wits.
597 593 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005300_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Those white-haired twins who were with you... I remember them from our battle in the Source.
598 594 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005310_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Are they your friends, then? Through thick and thin?
599 595 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005320_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Aye...
600 596 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005330_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Then I suggest you keep them close. It's when you charge ahead trying to save someone else that you end up losing those you love.
601 597 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005340_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Not that you need telling. I'll bet you've lost plenty. But I wonder...what will it cost you this time?
602 598 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005350_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I don't remember when it was that I learned regret wasn't worth the bother.
603 599 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005360_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You get numb to it all over the years. The lost comrades, the broken promises, the abandoned principles─just more nagging burdens to ignore.
604 600 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005370_RYNE (-???-)So this is what the Light was hiding...

606 602 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005390_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, inside an imperial magitek facility in the Source...
607 603 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005400_GARLEANGENERAL (-Imperial Pilus Prior-)Intruders! Fan out and find them!
608 604 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005410_ESTINIEN Out of my way!

610 606 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005430_SHADOWHUNTER When the alarum sounded, I wondered what we had done to betray our presence. But I see now we were not the only intruders.
611 607 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005440_SHADOWHUNTER Ser Estinien, I presume─the dragoon who plucked the Warrior of Light from the jaws of death. Your armor is most distinct.
612 608 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005450_ESTINIEN Much as yours once was. But even without it, I see a former legatus still has eyes and ears in unexpected places.

615 611 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005480_ESTINIEN Hmph. Through no choice of my own. They tracked me down, and conscripted me to their cause.
616 612 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005490_ESTINIEN I swear their receptionist was trained as a spy. Not that anyone can escape that Baldesion woman once she has caught the scent of your aether...
617 613 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05000_005500_SHADOWHUNTER If they have resorted to using freelancers, I must assume their attempts to wake the afflicted have failed...
