10TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_00An anger you know all too well smolders within Sidurgu.
21TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_01House Caulignont has long held strong ties with the Ishgardian Orthodox Church, allowing many of her sons and daughters to rise to great prominence within the clergy. Countess Ystride de Caulignont was poised to do the same, until she learned of her husband's heresy. When confronted, he proudly confessed to having consumed dragon blood for decades before draining a vial to complete his transformation and murder his wife. Though he was slain before he could do so, he nevertheless succeeded in tearing his family apart, for when the countess realized that his tainted blood had been passed on to their daughter, Rielle, she chose to confine her to a cell for fear of what the girl might become. Now fully aware of his foes' fanatical nature, Sidurgu would seize upon any advantage for the coming battle. Recalling the ancient dragon's words, he thinks to seek out the “tiny beings” who know a better way. He has no idea who they might be, but you have a sneaking suspicion that you do...
32TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_02You summon Sidurgu and Rielle to Moghome and introduce them to Moggie, the second-most well-informed moogle in the village. However, rather than engaging the moogle, the normally reserved Rielle erupts, berating Sidurgu for his obsession with the darkness and his treatment of her. Moggie, believing that she has insight into the “flame in the abyss,” bids you and Sidurgu gather pomwort, while she and the other moogles look after Rielle.
43TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_03Though the purpose is hardly clear to you, you gather pomwort as Moggie requested. Return to the moogle and present to her your bounty.
54TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_04Having completed your first “trial,” Moggie bids you undertake a second. You and Sidurgu are to cull tulihands on the road to Asah. A curious trial, to be sure, but surely there is a method to the moogle's madness...
65TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_05As you slay tulihand after tulihand, you begin to wonder if this is all simply pointless busywork. Join Sidurgu in Asah and see if he shares your suspicions.
76TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_06In a shocking and altogether baffling turn of events, the moogles of Moghome reveal that they have kidnapped Rielle. Sidurgu predictably flies into a rage, and together you set about beating the moogles senseless. Afterwards, your comrade demands the return of his charge once more, only for the moogles to ask why. Sidurgu cites his oath as a dark knight, prompting the gathered moogles to burst into song, extolling the virtues of love. Speechless, the dark knight turns away, only to find Rielle safe and sound in the company of Moggie. At the moogle's behest, Rielle voices her feelings and accuses Sidurgu of helping her only to further his own quest for vengeance against the Temple Knights. After a moment, he acknowledges that she speaks true, but reminds her that they will not survive the coming trial without each other's aid. He states that what happens afterwards will be her decision, and his words seem to mollify the young girl.
87TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_07Declaring your time spent in Moghome to have been an utter waste of time, Sidurgu returns to Ishgard together with Rielle. As you watch them depart, however, you are not entirely certain that you agree...
98TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SEQ_08In the Forgotten Knight, Sidurgu reveals to you that he was among those first refugees to Ishgard, and that he watched helplessly as Temple Knights executed his parents without cause. He too would have died that day, were it not for the intervention of a dark knight, who would then become his mentor. Though he claimed to embrace noble ideals, he confesses that it was likely nothing more than an excuse to indulge in vengeance. Though he now believes himself unworthy to defend Rielle, he knows that she has no one else but you and him. For one last battle, at least, he will stand at her side... ※The next dark knight quest will be available from Sidurgu upon reaching level 60.

4948TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SYSTEM_000_900In order to undertake this quest, you must first complete the main scenario quest “Mountaintop Diplomacy.”
5049TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_000It took considerable effort, but at last I have learned the whole truth. Attend me, Player. You have a right to know.
5150TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_001For countless generations, the sons and daughters of House Caulignont have pledged themselves to the church, so devoted to the faith they are.
5251TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_002Many rose to positions of great prominence within the clergy, and for a time, Countess Ystride de Caulignont was poised to do the same. And when she and her husband celebrated the birth of their firstborn, the futures of the house seemed brighter than ever.
5352TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_003That is, until years later, when the inquisitors came. Information gleaned during an interrogation had implicated her husband as a heretic.
5453TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_004When the countess confronted him with these allegations, he brought a vial to his lips and completed his transformation─one he proudly declared was *decades* in the making.
5554TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_005...The Temple Knights slew him as he tried to rip out her throat.
5655TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_006Afterwards, she had Rielle locked away in the deepest cell she could find.
5756TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_007Madness. What monster thinks to find absolution in her daughter's death!?
5857TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_008You mustn't go! She'll kill you!
5958TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_009She'll kill us anyway if we don't! I...I know what I'm doing, Rielle. I have a plan...
6059TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_010Player, recall you the dragon's words when we told her of our dark arts? She said that there were “tiny beings” who know a better way.
6160TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_011If they can teach us how to harness the abyss, mayhap we can stand against Lady Ystride and her minions. Unfortunately, I haven't the foggiest who these “tiny beings” might be...
6261TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_020I shall make inquiries, but I do not expect to learn much. If you uncover aught of interest, pray send word.
6362TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_025Right, then. A plan.
6463TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_030Well, if it isn't one of the new visitors from below! Are you searching for something? If so, just ask! I pride myself on being the second-most well-informed moogle here, kupo!
6564TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_031...My, that's a rather grim way of living, isn't it? I can't say I've ever heard of knights so infatuated with “darkness”!
6665TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_032However, I think I might know why she bade you visit us. Go ahead and fetch your friends. We have an awful lot to talk about, kupo!
6766TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_033Welcome to Moghome, kupo! The little one must be Rielle, which makes the big one Sid, right?
6867TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_034...Yes. I presume you are one of the “tiny beings” of whom the dragon spoke.
6968TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_035...
7069TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_036Rielle, say something to the moogle.
7170TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_037Rielle.
7271TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_038...
7372TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_039Rielle!
7473TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_040...I'm sick of this charade.
7574TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_041You tell me to talk, but then you refuse to listen. You tell me you're doing this for me, but then you go on about the “darkness” and the “abyss”!
7675TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_042Am I supposed to be grateful when you come back covered in blood? When I put you back together so you can do it again!?
7776TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_043You drag me to halfway across the world so you can discover a new way to kill yourself, and you tell me it's for *my* sake!?
7877TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_044Why are we here, Sidurgu!? Tell me the *real* reason!
7978TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_045Rielle, I...of course it's for *your* sake!
8079TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_046Well, you've certainly had a lot of practice saying it, haven't you.
8180TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_047I'm sure the next fair maiden will appreciate it!
8281TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_048What are you saying!? It's not like that, Rielle!
8382TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_049And you! Say something, damn you!
8483TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_050Ahhh, I think I'm beginning to understand this whole “darkness” concept, kupo!
8584TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_051Harnessing the power of your emotions or some such, yes? I'm reminded of an ancient legend about a moogle named Mog─rather simple name, I know, but those were simpler times, kupo! Anyway, Mog had a penchant for dancing, and─
8685TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_052Wait, wait. What does dancing have to do with the dark arts?
8786TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_053Everything, kupo! *Everything*!
8887TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_054The point is, your master was absolutely right when he told you to “submit to the flame.” You just never figured out what he meant by it.
8988TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_055But better late than never, kupo! Master Moggie will show you the way! First, you two dark knights will need to pull four sprigs of pomwort each. Hop to it, kupo!
9089TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_056I fail to see what purpose this serves, but fine. You will have your precious pomwort.
9190TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_057Oh, and Rielle can stay here with us while you're away!
9291TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_058...Let's go, Player.
9392TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_060No one will be harnessing the darkness or the abyss or whatever else unless you bring me plenty of pomwort first, kupo!
9493TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_065...Look after him, will you?
9594TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_070Strength is pain. Strength is suffering. Strength is sacrifice... Gah! Sod this!
9695TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_075...Remind me again why we came back?
9796TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_080This doesn't feel right...
9897TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_090There you are, darkest dark one of the dark! Have you brought my pomwort?
9998TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_091Very nice, very nice, kupo! That must've kept you busy for a while!
10099TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_092For your next trial, you must, er...you must cull tulihands, kupo!
101100TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_093Rather a lot of them have been sighted on the road to Asah. If you wait there long enough, they're sure to show up, kupo!
102101TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_094Rielle? Oh, you needn't worry about her! She's off playing with some friends of mine, kupo!
103102TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_095Just focus on the trial, and wait for me in Asah when you're finished!
104103TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_MOGGIE_000_100When you and Sid have finished culling those tulihands, meet me in Asah, and I'll give you your next trial, kupo!

106105TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_102What could moogles possibly know about mastering the dark arts?

131130TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_164...I know you and Fray were trying to do right by your master─that you came to my defense because you believed that's what *he* would've wanted. And I *know* you only did that because you believed it would make you stronger, because all you truly care about is killing more Temple Knights!
132131TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_165I've seen how you look at them─how you curse them under your breath. How you relish every opportunity to cut them down. So don't tell me that it's all been for *me*! Don't tell me that Fray *died* for me!
133132TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_166...Everything I have done, I have done for my mother and my father. For my master, and yes...most of all, for me.
134133TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_167I haven't been honest with you, nor with myself...and for that I am sorry. I will stand for you in this coming trial, but after... What happens after will be your decision.
135134TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_168Good. That's a promise.
136135TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_170For what it's worth, I'm sorry it had to come to this.
137136TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_180...Furry little bastards had us fooled, eh?
138137TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_181Shame their wisdom is bollocks. I mean really now, love? That's what you need to harness the abyss?
139138TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_182I mean, I suppose there's something to be said for caring deeply for your charge, but... No. No, I will not give those cretins even a sliver of credit. This was an utter waste of time, and that's that.
140139TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_183Still...I am glad to have come to an understanding with Rielle.
141140TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_184We should return to Ishgard. The hour of the trial draws close.
142141TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_185Come along, Rielle.
143142TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_RIELLE_000_190...It needed to be said.
144143TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_200...I was about Rielle's age when I came to Ishgard. My parents, they...they said we would find a better life here.
145144TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_201When the Temple Knights we had shown mercy returned, they let us choose the order in which we would die. That would be their mercy to us, they declared.
146145TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_202I watched my parents kneel in the dirt. “Look away,” they said. But I could not.
147146TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_203At last, when it was my turn, I knelt and prepared to follow them into death. I closed my eyes...but when I opened them, a man in black stood before me, hand outstretched. And so I took it.
148147TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_204“Defend the meek.” “Punish the wicked.” ...Mayhap it was all but a convenient excuse to indulge in vengeance.
149148TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_205She deserves better than me. But there is no one else...
150149TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_206One more battle, Player. Let's see it done.
151150TEXT_JOBDRK580_02063_SIDURGU_000_207Mayhap in this final battle I can serve as my master intended...
