10TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_SEQ_00Alys would like to introduce you to someone.
21TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_SEQ_01A wandering minstrel has come to Revenant's Toll in search of inspiration─namely, tales of heroic feats and derring-do. Alys can think of no one better qualified to quench the traveler's thirst for tales, and urges you regale the minstrel with your greatest exploits.
32TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_SEQ_02Your words serve to satisfy the minstrel beyond measure, who at once composes a ballad of your battle with the Ultima Weapon. Alas, his penchant for exaggeration has transformed the trial into something quite unlike what you remember... ※The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
43TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_SEQ_03Using the power of your imagination, you relive the events of that fateful day in the Praetorium, as described in the minstrel's ballad. Considering how certain details differ drastically, it may behoove you to correct the minstrel's misconceptions.
54TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_SEQ_04The minstrel makes no apologies for embellishing your tale, claiming that others would have done the same in time. A valid point, to be sure, though his artistic license will only serve to hasten the process...

4948TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_ALYS_000_000Your reputation precedes you, Player. In fact, it's for that reason that I'd like to introduce you to someone.
5049TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_ALYS_000_001That minstrel at the end of the bar wandered in here the other day─said he was seeking *inspiration* for a new ballad, the sort only an adventurer of distinction could provide.
5150TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_ALYS_000_002Who better than the woman who saved the world to give this minstrel the stories he seeks, eh? Humor the gentleman, I say!
5251TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_010*Dawn may banish even the darkest night, Yet ever shall primal desires burn.*
5352TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_011*Two swords shall vie to lay them low─ A blade born of light and a blade forged of might. Alas, man may entrust his fate unto but one.*
5453TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_012Lest you wonder, these are the words of Archon Louisoix. While not written as poetry, I find poetry within them nonetheless.
5554TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_015By the gods─Player, it *is* you! We do indeed share a connection, don't we? Looking at you now, I am reminded of Mezaya's final verse:
5655TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_016*Seven waning moons see seven suns rise, Divine order roils, fallen corpses writhe.*
5756TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_017*Souls from aether far, strangers from strange lands, Yester with thine eyes, morrow by thine hands.*
5857TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_018A toast to your triumphant return, familiar stranger.
5958TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_019It is a pleasure to be reunited with you once more. Yours is a tale that was destined to be immortalized in song.
6059TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_030Years ago, when I arrived in this land, I was beset with peril day and night─forced to endure countless trials which tested my mind, my body, and my faith.
6160TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_031And I am not ashamed to admit that I would have faltered, had it not been for the help of a handful of nameless adventurers. Honest men and women who proffered the hand of friendship to a weary soul and led him safe from the darkness.
6261TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_032When I look upon you, I am reminded of them. I can tell that you are well traveled, and possessed of both constancy and character. You are a woman of the adventuring profession, yes?
6362TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_033I seek a valiant hero whose deeds might serve as inspiration, and I have reason to believe I have found her.
6463TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_040After all, was it not you who faced Gaius van Baelsar and his Allagan weapon? You must tell me everything─*everything*─that happened! Omit nary a single detail, I beg of you!
6564TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_041...Truly a tale worthy of legend! And so eerily it matches the writings of Archon Louisoix!
6665TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_042*Two swords shall vie to lay them low─ A blade born of light and a blade forged of might. Alas, man may entrust his fate unto but one.*
6766TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_043The Black Wolf was a conqueror who aspired to rule through might, and the weapon was key to his ambitions.
6867TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_044Yet in the end, the people of Eorzea entrusted their fates to a brilliant blade─the Warrior of Light.
6968TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_045A rather fitting moniker, in my humble opinion.
7069TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_046Thank you. At last, I have found the inspiration I sought: a battle to decide the fate of a realm!
7170TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_047The words, the notes─I feel them coming together! Your tale, Player Player─your *song*!
7271TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_048From an era long forgotten,♪ A blade of midnight drawn,♪ From a battlefield awakened,♪ A warrior who bears the dawn...♪
7372TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_049From an era long forgotten,♪ A blade of midnight drawn,♪ From a distant land uncharted,♪ A warrior who bears the dawn...♪
7473TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_100That might be my best work yet! Was it not just as you remember, Player?
7574TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_101...Come now, what's the harm in a little exaggeration? I only changed a few details for dramatic effect.
7675TEXT_SUBCTS901_01308_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_102And even if I had not, others would have done so eventually. 'Tis the nature of every story to grow with each telling.
