10TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SEQ_00By the way his face lights up at your approach, the manager of suites has been waiting for you.
21TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SEQ_01Greeting you with his customary cheer, the master of suites informs you that the Crystal Exarch has requested your presence in the Ocular.
32TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SEQ_02Having taken your place amongst your comrades in the Ocular, you discuss the mission to find and vanquish the Lightwarden of Kholusia. Yet even as you allow yourselves a moment to consider the prospect of victory, Emet-Selch sours the mood with the declaration that driving back the Light will not serve to save the world. Elaborating upon his earlier history lesson, he informs you that as Zodiark and Hydaelyn warred, the latter struck a devastating blow which sundered not only Her foe, but all of creation, into fourteen fragments. It was then, looking upon the shattered remains of their home, that the Ascians resolved to rejoin the worlds. While Emet-Selch's tale only serves to underscore the difference between your goals, you have little choice but to focus on the mission at hand. According to intelligence, the forces of Eulmore are entrenching themselves inside the city, suggesting that the Lightwarden likely hides therein. So it is that you and your comrades depart for Kholusia, having agreed to rendezvous in the village of Wright.
43TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SEQ_03Joining Alphinaud and Ryne in Wright, you learn that the others have gone on ahead to reconnoiter. When the time comes for your group to follow, Alphinaud bids you clear the path of prying eyes.
54TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SEQ_04On the way to Gatetown, you encounter civilians behaving strangely, as if in a trance, with some proving hostile. While their behavior is unsettling, for now the way is secure, and you press on to the settlement as planned.
65TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SEQ_05You arrive in Gatetown to find it gripped by a strange phenomenon. It seems the villagers you encountered en route were far from the only ones affected...

4948TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_GUIDEOFTHEPENDANTS_000_000Ah, Mistress . I trust you had a pleasant rest.
5049TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_GUIDEOFTHEPENDANTS_000_001While you were ensconced in your chamber, a message arrived for you from the Exarch. He bids you come to the Ocular at your earliest convenience.
5150TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_GUIDEOFTHEPENDANTS_000_002...And, madam? Wherever your duties may take you next, I shall pray for your safe return. May the night keep you.
5251TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_MYSTERYVOICE_000_010Your condition is unchanged? Good. If you can but hold out until the end of the coming battle, I am confident that we will find a remedy for your affliction.
5352TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_LYNA_000_015We've not spoken for a while, have we? Not since the aftermath of the eaters' attack.
5453TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_LYNA_000_016Rest assured I am fully recovered, and will do my utmost to support you and your fellow Warriors of Darkness.
5554TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_020Yes? Did my lesson provoke thought, giving rise to further questions?
5655TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_Q1_000_000What will you say?
5756TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_A1_000_001Three of you escaped the sundering. But what of those who didn't...?
5857TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_A1_000_002I think we've talked enough.
5958TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_021Why, their very beings were divided into fourteen, of course. Yet by our power, we unsundered Ascians may raise up one of their fragments to their original office.
6059TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_022Ah, but I suppose this in itself bears explaining. So...the names by which you know us are not, in fact, our names.
6160TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_023Be it Elidibus or Lahabrea or Igeyorhm, all are titles of office. And when an office is vacated, it may be filled by another.
6261TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_024Over the eons, I have overseen several changings of the guard among our sundered brethren.
6362TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_025And in such instances, the vacant title ordinarily goes to another fragment of the selfsame soul.
6463TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_026While it is by no means impossible to raise up wholly unrelated individuals, 'tis we whose fervent entreaties brought forth Lord Zodiark─whose souls He claimed in the beginning─who make the truest servants.
6564TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_Q2_000_000What will you say?
6665TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_A2_000_001So, if we were to defeat all the Ascians of the Source...
6766TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_A2_000_002What is your *true* name, then?
6867TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_027Then none would remain to raise up new Ascians, and our kind would eventually fade from existence. You would like that, wouldn't you? Well, feel free to dream─'tis no crime to do so.
6968TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_028Hm! There may come a day when I reveal my true name to you─but this is not it. Of course, you may well die none the wiser, but life is full of such disappointments.
7069TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_EMETSELCH_000_029If that is all, then run along. You have a Lightwarden to slay.
7170TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_RYNE_000_035This aura... What could it be?
7271TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_040There you are, Player. The others have gone ahead to reconnoiter Gatetown. We are to follow shortly.
7372TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_041It has been a while, has it not? Since the two of us infiltrated Eulmore.
7473TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_042...Since we faced Lord Vauthry, and I felt such fury as I have never felt before.
7574TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_043His actions are unconscionable, of course, and any abhorrence I felt for him entirely justified. Yet mingled with my rage, there was...something else. At first I was unsure what it was, but in the course of our struggles, I found the answer.
7675TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_044In Vauthry's self-righteousness─in his absolute belief that he, and he alone, is the cure to the world's ills─I saw a reflection of myself. And it brought the memories of all my past follies flooding back.
7776TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_045He is the vainglorious, ignorant fool I once was. And having shared in his affliction, I feel duty-bound to open his eyes to the truth.
7877TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_046Whether he will accept it with the good grace I did is another question...
7978TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_047What is it, Ryne? Do you sense the Lightwarden?
8079TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_RYNE_000_048I-I'm not sure. The aura is...different.
8180TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_RYNE_000_049Perhaps if we were a little closer...
8281TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_050'Tis time we were on our way in any case. Let us join our comrades in Gatetown.
8382TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_051Player, as a precaution, may I ask that you go first, to ensure that the path is clear?
8483TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_052The closer we are to Eulmore, the more I worry that Ryne may be recognized. If you see any prying eyes along the way, pray encourage their owners to look elsewhere.
8584TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_ALPHINAUD_000_060Go on, Player. We will follow anon.
8685TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_RYNE_000_065As I am now, I don't think people will recognize me as the Oracle, but Thancred did always warn against taking unnecessary risks.
8786TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SUSPICIOUSA03630_000_070Unnngh... Vauth...nnngh...
8887TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SYSTEM_000_071You hail the civilian, but he does not respond and continues his incoherent rambling.
8988TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SUSPICIOUSA03630_000_072Unnngh... Vauth...nnngh...
9089TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SUSPICIOUSB03630_000_073Lord Vauthry... We hear...we obey... Aaahhh!
9190TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_SUSPICIOUSC03630_000_074Long live...Lord Vauthry... Long live...Lord Vauthry...

9392TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_URIANGER_000_080Our mission hath begun on a strange note...
9493TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_RESIDENT03630_000_085Wh-What's happening!? What's wrong with everyone!?
9594TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_THANCRED_000_090Ah. Good of you to join us. I was debating whether to warn you, but it's too late now.
9695TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_THANCRED_000_091I take it you noticed the people behaving strangely along the path? It's more of the same here.
9796TEXT_LUCKME101_03630_THANCRED_000_092Y'shtola and Alisaie are investigating as we speak. Let's wait and see what they have to say.
