4948TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALISAIE_000_001If anyone can determine the fate of Shinryu and Omega, it's Master Garlond. For now, let us remain focused on our current mission.
5049TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_005Were Omega not a threat to us all, its effectiveness in subduing draconic foes would seem almost admirable. But such weapons are doomed to be misused. Let us pray we never have need of its services again.
5150TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_KRILE_000_010I do hope you're not thinking about running off to help Master Garlond. It is not your duty to solve *all* of the world's problems, you know!
5251TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_015The bridge over the Velodyna River has always held great strategic importance, hence the Garleans' decision to transform it into a fortified installation. Needless to say, we will not be crossing *there*.
5352TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_RAUBAHN_000_020
5453TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_CID_000_025
5554TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_030As you've probably heard, there are plenty of factions in the Resistance, so I'm taking us to see the one with the most influence.
5655TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_031Their headquarters are located in a place called Rhalgr's Reach─an old temple, to the east of here, across the Velodyna River.
5756TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_032I learned a route that should allow us to avoid imperial patrols. Stick with me and we'll be there before you know it!
5857TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALISAIE_000_040It's so quiet. Almost as though the imperials haven't been here for some time...
5958TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_045On your guard. The imperials know these lands better than we.
6059TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_KRILE_000_050At the risk of upsetting the cartographic fraternity, I can't help observing that “East End” depends entirely on one's perspective. I mean, people don't even think of it as Gridania anymore, do they?
6160TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_055They call it East End because it marks the end of the Black Shroud. Note the sparser vegetation.
6261TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_060Still with me? Good. From here, we'll head northeast towards the river. The water's not too deep, so we won't have to swim.
6362TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALISAIE_000_070Heh heh... See, Brother? Nothing to worry about. ...Though no one would blame you for donning your buoyancy aids, just in case.
6463TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_075We should not linger out here in the open.
6564TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_KRILE_000_080Y'shtola's right. We need to cross before the imperials spot us.
6665TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_085At a glance, it certainly seems shallow enough...
6766TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_090I don't see any soldiers. Good. Let's cross.
6867TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_091You're wondering about the tower to the south?
6968TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_092It's part of Castellum Velodyna. That's what the imperials decided to call the old bridge after they fortified it.
7069TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_093*I* call it a great big eyesore. Honestly, you can see that rotten banner from absolutely *malms* away. <sigh> They never miss a chance to rub our noses in it, do they... Come on, we should keep moving.
7170TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALISAIE_000_100Are we there yet?
7271TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_105Lyse did well. It is...reassuring.
7372TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_KRILE_000_110And we didn't run afoul of even a single patrol! What a pleasant surprise─in that there were no surprises.
7473TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_115So, the Reach lies beyond? But I do not see a path...
7574TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_120We're here. On the other side of this pass is Rhalgr's Reach.
7675TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_121So you say, but all I see are rocks. I presume there is some sort of trick to this?
7776TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_122...Indeed. A glamour.
7877TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_123Good eye, Y'shtola!
7978TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_124I take it they have a talented mage in their ranks─or mayhap an artificer trained in the modification of glamour prisms...?
8079TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_125Something like that. The important thing is that it fools the Garleans.
8180TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_126Oh, before we go in─I don't know if Tataru told you, but my friend Naago, the messenger who came to the Rising Stones, is a member of this faction.
8281TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_127So they know us, and they shouldn't attack us on sight. That said, they can be a bit jumpy, so let me lead the way, and, uh...don't go reaching for your weapons or anything.
8382TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_128And with a sprinkle of demasking dust, all is laid bare!
8483TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_130Seeing it now, I feel rather foolish for not having deduced it earlier.
8584TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_131All clear! Let's go, let's go!
8685TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_132Impressive or no, twenty years is a long time for even so complex a glamour to escape the Empire's notice...
8786TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALISAIE_000_133I suppose you could disguise almost anything with a glamour prism, if you really wanted to. Have you ever used one? Why am I asking─*of course* you haven't.
8887TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_KRILE_000_134Let us pray that they are amenable to our proposal. United, we stand to accomplish so much more...
8988TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALISAIE_000_140It's hard to feel at ease with that giant statue looking down on you...
9089TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_YSHTOLA_000_145Fascinating... A massive, nigh-imperceptible glamour encompassing the entire valley... I see now how the settlement was able to escape the watchful eyes of imperial airships.
9190TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_KRILE_000_150Ordinarily, I'd shudder at the thought of armed rebels trampling about in an ancient temple of immense historical importance─but Rhalgr *is* the breaker of worlds, so it seems rather appropriate, if anything.
9291TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_ALPHINAUD_000_155This temple was once home to the Fist of Rhalgr, as I recall. Yes...there is no mistaking that statue.
9392TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_LYSE_000_160It's good to see Naago up and moving again. I wasn't there when she headed home, so I naturally assumed she'd left too soon. Always overdoing it, that one.
9493TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_MNAAGO_000_165A pleasure to see you again─and Krile and Y'shtola, without whose help I might not be standing here today. At least, not so soon.
9594TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_MEFFRID_000_170Ho, so you really came. I never thought I'd see you here, but I'm glad. I'm glad...
9695TEXT_STMBDA102_02447_CONRAD_000_180You'll forgive us our precautions, but we couldn't be sure who had crossed the barrier. We see you now for who you are, though─the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
