40TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_00The floundering Namazu seems to be in need of help. A lot of help. ※Please note that you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
51TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_01You stumble across a terribly dehydrated Namazu in the middle of the desert─a most peculiar sight indeed. Upon confirming that he is likely to survive, you attempt to make an expedient exit. However, a moment's hesitation costs you all plausible deniability. Resigned to facing whatever ordeal lies in store, you stuff the Namazu in your pack at his request, and set off for Yuzuka Manor.
62TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_02You unceremoniously deposit the Namazu at the feet of his friend Gyorei. After drinking several times his weight in water, he recovers enough to explain that he is an artisan by the name of Gyoshin, and─though you give no indication of interest─continues on to tell you about his recent unusual dreams. Said dreams evidently include the Namazu's ancestor and a dire warning about the annihilation of their tribe, which can only be averted by holding a seven-year festival on the Azim Steppe. Between this pronouncement and the sudden dramatic entrance of a third Namazu, the self-proclaimed “Seigetsu the Enlightened,” you find yourself in no position to protest as they commandeer your services for this endeavor.
73TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_03Naturally, the Namazu require festival grounds before the event planning can proceed. Upon learning of your many heroic deeds in the north, Seigetsu the Enlightened suggests that you introduce the trio to the khatun of the Mol, so they may obtain permission to use unoccupied land in the Azim Steppe for their venue.
84TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_04You arrive at Mol Iloh to learn that the wise Temulun has already designated a location for the Namazu's festival. Alas, you are not off the hook yet. The Namazu clearly have a long road ahead if their ideal doom-averting, culturally relevant event is to be realized, and they look to you to provide sorely needed competent assistance─or perhaps just cheap labor. Either way, there is much to be done. Touring the grounds at the Towering Still seems like as good a first step as any.
95TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_05With its pavilions windtorn and faded, the erstwhile home of the Dhoro will require significant work if it is to play host to what will surely be a festival like no other. One can only wonder what Gyoshin thinks of this site and the tribulations which lie ahead.
106TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SEQ_06To your surprise, Gyoshin is more than satisfied with the ramshackle pavilions of Dhoro Iloh, and seems both hopeful for the festival's prospects and eager to set to work. As Gyorei says, he is almost admirable. Almost.

5349TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_SYSTEM_000_002Though it seems to be in a bad way, it is unmistakably alive and will probably survive without your intervention.
5450TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_Q1_000_000What will you do?
5551TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_A1_000_001Offer your prayers and move along.
5652TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_A1_000_002Pretend you saw nothing.
5753TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_004(-Namazu Voice-)You there! Wait, wait!
5854TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_005I am not dead─far from it! And do not pretend that you thought I was!
5955TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_006How unfair of you to assume that aiding me would lead you to undertake a series of arduous tasks. I assure you that I require your assistance only this once.
6056TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_007You see, fate─destiny!─guided me to the Azim Steppe.
6157TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_008But as I wandered this unfamiliar land, I became increasingly lost...and dry. Parched! Until I found I could no longer take even a single step...
6258TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_009Random passerby, you will be traveling to Yanxia, yes? You will find that I am most portable. Quite suitable for sacks. I ask only that you convey me to Gyorei at Yuzuka Manor.
6359TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_010Please, please!
6460TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_020My, my, what an oddly shaped bag you have!
6561TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_021(-Floundering Namazu-)I...am returned...
6662TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_022Gyoshin! How did you come to be so desiccated?
6763TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_023No, no, never mind that─I will bring water posthaste!
6864TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_024<gulp> <gulp> ...Ahhh, much better.
6965TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_025There is nothing like a deep draught of the One River's water. Another half-dozen jugs and I will be most fully refreshed!
7066TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_026First you might explain where you have been! And what of this traveler─have you no words for <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If>? Such an ill-mannered Namazu I have never seen!
7167TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_027Oh, yes, yes. Slipped my mind entirely. Ahem! Thank you, thank you, random passerby!
7268TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_028I am Gyoshin. Namazu artisan, crafter of crafts. My deftness of fin is second to none.
7369TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_029Yes, yes, he would be almost admirable were he not so careless. Why, not a fortnight ago he wandered into the path of a falling vase and was knocked utterly unconscious.
7470TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_030Indeed, that is how I came by this head wound. It was most excruciatingly painful. And though I made a full recovery and have been in perfect health ever since...
7571TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_031I began to have unusual dreams. Yes, yes. Dreams of my greatest grandsire standing before me, shrouded in light...
7672TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_032He revealed that every seven hundred and seventy-seven years, we must hold a seven-year celebration commemorating the birth of our tribe. Should we fail to do so, the Namazu will be most gruesomely annihilated once seven years pass. Seven years!
7773TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_033And so you immediately set forth on a journey to our homeland at the head of the One River? Without so much as a thought towards preparation?
7874TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_034How reckless can you possibly be? Though I do not doubt it was distressing to you, a dream is no more than a dream. Yes, yes.
7975TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_035(-Intellectual-sounding Voice-)...Hasten not to judge, for profound truth may lie in even visions of the night.
8076TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_036Who said that?
8177TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_037None other than I, renowned member of the literati, Seigetsu the Enlightened!
8278TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_038Oh, it's just Gyofun. Always with his face buried in a book─a walking tome with whiskers, our Gyofun─
8379TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_039Speak not that name, no, no! I cast it aside long ago, for I have searched my soul and found my true name─Seigetsu the Enlightened! Seigetsu the Enlightened! How many times must I tell you!?
8480TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_040Yes, yes, your soul has a lot to say, I am aware. Did you need something?
8581TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_041This. This is why I detest imbeciles... But I will waste no further words on you and your deficiencies, for a matter of greater import demands our attention: the festival.
8682TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_042In the course of my scholarly endeavors, I encountered a dated manuscript entitled <Emphasis>The Epic of Ganen</Emphasis>, which mentions an event that took place centuries past along the upper One River. This “unforgettable spectacle,” as the author describes it, was a festival held by our own ancestors.
8783TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_043It is written that this festival marked our people's first step toward enlightenment─the advent of a civilized Namazu society. Even you must understand the significance.
8884TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_044Though I suspect your “vision” is a by-product of a few too many blows to the head, reviving this tradition is an excellent idea. At long last, the Namazu will emerge from the darkness of ignorance─our cultural renaissance has arrived!
8985TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_045I have no idea what that means and am not sure if I care, but if you are offering to help, then I graciously accept.
9086TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_046Well, well, I see there is no stopping you. I will accompany you, then─but I must insist that we bring another. One with more than a passing familiarity with the region.
9187TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_047(-All Three Namazu-)Thanks in advance!
9288TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_050Gyoshin is liable to wander off a cliff if left to his own devices. As a friend, I cannot let him make this journey alone. No, no.
9389TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_055You are insatiably curious as to why my orbital structure differs from that of my brethren, are you not? It is merely a physical manifestation of my surpassing intellect. I call it...the Gaze of the Enlightened.
9490TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_060So, so, how much do you know about the Steppe?
9591TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_061My word, not only have you spent many a day there, but you also claimed victory in the Naadam on behalf of the Mol? Surely there is no guide more qualified to lead us.
9692TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_062The what, what?
9793TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_063I can only pity you, mired in the depths of ignorance as you are. Listen well: the Azim Steppe is home to valorous warriors known as the Xaela.
9894TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_064Were we to enter and carry on with our festival preparations unannounced, we would undoubtedly be skewered and served as hors d'oeuvres. Or perhaps steamed and served in a buuz, as that is a rather more common delicacy among the Steppe's tribal peoples...
9995TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_065I would rather not be served either way, thank you!
10096TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_066That is precisely why we are fortunate to have encountered <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. We need only for <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> to escort us to the khatun of the Mol, whom we can petition for permission to hold our festival.
10197TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_067I see, I see. In that case, please lead us there! I am sure that my explanation of our mission will be quite convincing. Most persuasive.
10298TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_CIRINA_000_068It is lovely to see you again, khagan. I was delighted when I heard that the elder gods spoke of your return. Though I must admit that I am unsure what to make of their description of the companions you are meant to introduce to us today.
10399TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_070I bid you welcome, khagan. Glad are we to see that the gods have brought you to us once again. And I see you are in the company of Namazu?
104100TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_071Hello, hello! We, well, you see...
105101TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_072I know what you seek. We have already readied a location for your celebration.
106102TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_073H-How did you know? Clairvoyance? Witchcraft!?
107103TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_074I but heed the whispers of the gods. They spoke of two disciples of creation traveling hither to hold a great celebration─one of whom would be a Namazu.
108104TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_075Astounding. Are you perchance one of the Mol's esteemed udgan? I read of them in <Emphasis>Narrow Road through the Deep Grass</Emphasis>.
109105TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_076Wait, wait. Gyoshin must be the Namazu in question, but who is the second disciple of creation?
110106TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_Q2_000_000What will you say?
111107TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_A2_000_001I'm something of an artisan myself.
112108TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_A2_000_002I've been known to dabble in gathering.
113109TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_078One shock after another! You manage such delicate work without fins?
114110TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_079One shock after another! You can locate things without barbels?
115111TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_080Well, physical inadequacies notwithstanding, I am sure that you would be a great help. Will you assist us? Please, please?
116112TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_Q3_000_000What will you say?
117113TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_A3_000_001Yes, yes!
118114TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_A3_000_002Not just no, no, but hells no, no.
119115TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_082Do you recall what I once told you? Stars flock to you. Cherish their light.
120116TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_083These little ones too were drawn to your side. Lend them your radiance. If not today, then someday soon, for all asterisms have meaning.
121117TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_084Then it is decided! Everything is settled!
122118TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_085Indeed. I will have you shown to the grounds we have prepared.
123119TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_MOLGUIDE_000_086In the west stand the rocky cliffs of the Towering Still, erstwhile home of the Dhoro. Their abandoned structures have fallen into disrepair, but with some effort they can be repurposed.
124120TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_087You are too kind, most considerate. I can hardly wait to see!
125121TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_MOLGUIDE_000_090The festival grounds can be found on the plateau above. Your Namazu comrades have already made their way there. Shall I show you to them?
126122TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_Q4_000_000Ascend to Dhoro Iloh?
127123TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_TEMULUN_000_095No one star brings light to the void alone. In number do they rise and overcome the night. Remember this, and weave a constellation to guide others as they forge their own paths through the dark.
128124TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_CIRINA_000_100Lamb or dzo are the most common fillings, but I suddenly find myself remembering how delicious buuz are when made with catfish.
129125TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOREI_000_105A river flows below the cliffs, so at least we need not worry for want of water.
130126TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_KOFUINSEIGETSU_000_110As the famed wanderer Hoelun notes in <Emphasis>Narrow Road through the Deep Grass</Emphasis>, the Dhoro are a proud but reclusive people who eschew almost all contact with outsiders. Perhaps Dhoro Iloh's surroundings will yield some indication as to why.
131127TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_115These pavilions are rather dilapidated, quite decrepit, but I will have them fixed up in no time.
132128TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_120A wonderful location! Yes, yes. These pavilions are rather dilapidated, quite decrepit, but I will have them fixed up in no time.
133129TEXT_BANNAM000_03096_GYOSHIN_000_121Yes, yes, I am itching to get to work! ...Though the actual itching may be my fins drying out again. Who wants to carry me down to the river?
