10TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SEQ_00One of the Crystarium guards is particularly relieved to have found you.
21TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SEQ_01After finally managing to track you down, Ryne reveals that she has sensed a concentration of Light in the Empty, the name for the lands once swallowed by the Flood. Fearing that another cataclysm may be on the horizon, Ryne asks you to join her, Thancred, and Urianger on an expedition into the barren wastes to investigate the phenomenon. You arrange to rendezvous with them at the Derrick, from where you will depart on this potentially perilous journey.
32TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SEQ_02Upon arriving at the Derrick, you are greeted by Urianger and Thancred, who are keen to begin the investigation as soon as possible. Neither of them are exactly thrilled by the prospect of journeying through the Empty, where the ambient aether is wildly imbalanced, making it unwise to travel by amaro or chocobo. Luckily, Thancred has borrowed a more mechanical mode of transport from the Crystarium, the skyslipper, which is less likely to be affected by such anomalies. With all of the necessary supplies and equipment at the ready, the four of you prepare to board the craft and embark on a voyage into parts unknown.
43TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SEQ_03The first leg of the journey is remarkably uneventful, with naught but featureless wastelands for malms around. The monotony of the scenery eventually sends you into a deep sleep, and you are only awoken by Thancred's exclamations of surprise at the sight of a gargantuan entity resting inside a vast crater. Urianger comes to the conclusion that this is the first sin eater, the instigator of the Flood of Light. Rather than formulating a means of destroying the beast, he theorizes that the power which once threatened to consume all life on the planet might instead be used to restore what was lost. Ryne, who seems to share Urianger's optimism, even suggests naming it “Eden,” which comes from the Fae word for “utopia.” Thancred, on the other hand, turns the group's attention to more practical matters, such as setting up a camp from where to plan your next move.
54TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SEQ_04After you finish laying out a simple camp to act as a base of operations, Thancred leaves to scout the area, and Ryne suggests waiting for him to return before you begin discussions on how best to investigate Eden. It remains to be seen whether the vast sin eater is the key to restoring balance to this shattered world or an adversary that must be eliminated.

4948TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_GUARD03255_100_000Ah, Player! Have you seen Ryne? She's been looking for you.
5049TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_GUARD03255_200_000Wait here. I'll go and get her.
5150TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_001There you are!
5251TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_003The truth is, I need your help...
5352TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_100_003Now hold on─I haven't even told you what it is yet!
5453TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_004Ahem. After you defeated Emet-Selch, I sensed a strange concentration of Light, somewhere far to the south.
5554TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_005In the Empty─the lands that were once swallowed by the Flood.
5655TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_006I can't tell what it is, but we have to find out. For all we know, it might even be another Lightwarden!
5756TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_100_006But whatever it may be, I don't intend to stand by and watch. I'll...
5857TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_007Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Thancred, Urianger, and I have a few theories that we plan to test once we find whatever's causing this.
5958TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_008The three of us were reluctant to ask for your help, considering everything that you've been through. The thing is, you're the only person who can defeat a Lightwarden without becoming one yourself, so we have no choice.
6059TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_100_008While we don't want to jump to conclusions, it would be a good idea to have you there, just in case.
6160TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_110_008So, will you come with us?
6261TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_Q1_000_000What will you say?
6362TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_Q1_000_001I wouldn't have it any other way!
6463TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_Q1_000_002Perhaps we should let sleeping dogs lie.
6564TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_010Thank you, Player! This means a lot.
6665TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_020I see your point, but if we choose to ignore it, we should at least know *what* we're ignoring first. And there's no harm in taking a look, is there?
6766TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_021
6867TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_030First of all, let's head to the Derrick in Amh Araeng. Thancred and Urianger should have everything ready by now.
6968TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_040Sorry to drag you all the way out here. I have a feeling you'll miss this place when you see where we're going next, though.
7069TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_041'Tis a blessing to see thee so hale.
7170TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_050I hope the desert creatures didn't give you too much trouble on the way here.
7271TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_051I doubt they posed any sort of challenge to her. Would that I could say the same with confidence about whatever fiend may be waiting for us out there.
7372TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_100_051Even if the Light that Ryne sensed turns out to be nothing of consequence, the Empty is hardly the most welcoming of places. Anything that could survive out there is not to be trifled with.
7473TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_052Moreover, it should be reiterated that the Light-blasted wasteland poseth as severe a threat as any foe we might face.
7574TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_053In any event, we are in agreement that this phenomenon doth warrant investigation. Though for lack of more precise means of navigation, we must needs rely on Ryne's innate abilities to guide us.
7675TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_100_053I have formed several hypotheses regarding the nature of the Light, but speculation is a poor substitute for firsthand observation.
7776TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_055There'll be plenty of time for us to talk about it on the way.
7877TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_100_055Is the skyslipper ready, Thancred?
7978TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_056Ready to take us wherever we need to go, aye. Back again too, maybe, if we ask it nicely.
8079TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_057Though the Light hath been expunged from Norvrandt, the ambient aether of the Empty is still corrupted. Dangerously so, in fact.
8180TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_100_057The Flood of Light devastated everything in its wake. The soil, the air, the water, all rendered incapable of supporting life.
8281TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_110_057'Tis due to this imbalance that the Empty remaineth utterly uninhabitable, even a century thereafter.
8382TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_059That's why we're taking every possible precaution. Between the aetherometers I've packed and Ryne's unique abilities, we should be able to detect and measure any fluctuations in our alignments.
8483TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_100_059According to the Crystarium scouts, a few days out there won't affect us to any noticeable degree. But much longer than that, and we risk becoming sin eaters...
8584TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_060Since we still don't know how chocobos and amaro will fare in the Empty, we opted for a more mechanical mode of transportation. This comes courtesy of the researchers at the Mean, who found it in the Crystal Tower and restored it to working order.
8685TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_061
8786TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_100_062It's quite safe, I promise. The person in charge said he'll have parts delivered from the Crystarium should anything break.
8887TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_110_062He seemed quite eager to see what we bring back from the Empty, even though I told him we're not hunting for treasure. I'll introduce you if we have a chance to stop by Mord Souq at some point.
8988TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_062Anyway, I think that covers everything. When you're ready to leave, just say the word!
9089TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_070While I'm piloting and Ryne's navigating, you and Urianger will be free to enjoy the view and engage in rousing conversation. By that, I mean he can spend the whole time talking at you, while you nod in agreement.
9190TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_071Although the Flood of Light is believed to have expunged all traces of life from the Empty, we must remain ever vigilant. We know not what we shall find.
9291TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_070Well then, shall we?
9392TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_YESNO_001Depart for the Empty?
9493TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_080With a name like “the Empty,” I wasn't expecting much in the way of pleasant scenery, but this is downright depressing.
9594TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_081To look on the lands swallowed by the Flood with mine own eyes... 'Tis a chilling sight indeed.
9695TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_082Approximately nine-tenths of this world are as this. A slate all but wiped clean...
9796TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_083Were it not for the Warriors of Darkness and Minfilia...
9897TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_084Ryne, are you sure we're heading in the right direction?
9998TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_085Yes, I'm certain. There's no telling how far away it is, though.
10099TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_086Nothing for it but to keep going, then. You two back there may as well take a nap. I have a feeling we've a good few malms ahead of us.
101100TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_087I have to say, it's a touch larger than I was expecting. And is it...sleeping?
102101TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_088No. It's waking up.
103102TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_089I don't like the sound of that... Is it a Lightwarden?
104103TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_090No, I don't think so. Instead of being filled with Light...it *is* Light.
105104TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_091The first sin eater...
106105TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_092Long have I strived to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Flood of Light. To discover what set that terrible cataclysm in motion.
107106TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_100_092Every thread led to the same conclusion. The same single point...
108107TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_093Or single being...
109108TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_094I have reason to believe that the entity we see before us is the first sin eater. The instigator of the Flood─the very foe Minfilia vanquished a century ago.
110109TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_095She gave everything she had...and won.
111110TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_096...But this abomination could undo her work.
112111TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_097Aye, the possibility cannot be denied. Though it is oft said that destruction and creation are but two sides of the same coin.
113112TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_098Ryne, knowest thou of what I speak?
114113TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_099The power to shape reality, to bend the laws of nature. For what was once shattered may be forged anew.
115114TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_100That's all well and good, but don't you think we should give it a name first?
116115TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_101...Eden.
117116TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_102"Utopia“ in Fae. A most auspicious title.
118117TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_THANCRED_000_103Now that that's settled, perhaps we should find a spot to set up camp. I even brought a couple of tents, on the off chance, but pitching the damned things is something of a fine art. Does anyone fancy helping me?
119118TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_URIANGER_000_110Though frequent rest may allay the symptoms of prolonged exposure to the Empty's ambient aether, 'twould be unwise to linger here overlong.
120119TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_120I never realized that putting tents up could be such a bother! Still, I'm glad that we got there in the end.
121120TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_RYNE_000_121Thancred should be back from scouting the area soon. Once he's here, we can plan our next move.
122121TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SYSTEM_090_121During the course of your investigation, you may discover valuable artifacts.
123122TEXT_LUCKRA101_03255_SYSTEM_100_121These can be exchanged for equipment by speaking with Ghul Gul in Mord Souq or Yhal Yal in Eulmore.
