1	0	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_00	Francel is ever looking upward toward new heights for the Firmament.
2	1	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_01	Lord Francel rejoices at your return, and cheerfully regales you with the latest tidings regarding the continued restoration and development of the Firmament. As the young nobleman tells it, his newest goal is to transform the district into a new hub of trade befitting this new age in which Ishgard has opened itself to the world. To that end, he seeks to visit the three nations in hopes of enticing prominent merchants and traders to enter into a mutually profitable business partnership. No sooner has he asked for your escort than you are joined by none other than Count Charlemend de Durendaire, who imperiously insists that he join you on your expedition. Apprehensive but cautiously optimistic as to what lies ahead, you set off for the Carline Canopy in Gridania to join Francel and the count.
3	2	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_02	You reconvene with Lord Francel and Lord Charlemend in Gridania. No sooner have you greeted your companions than does the Count de Durendaire rush off to engage the local populace, confident that the prestige and influence of his great house will suffice to make the trade negotiations a swift success. Lord Francel, for his part, is skeptical of this approach, and the two of you resolve to pursue the count, lest he unintentionally sabotage the mission at hand.
4	3	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_03	You venture out into the streets of Gridania to find that Lord Charlemend has managed only to incur the ire of the townspeople with his pompous, overbearing attitude. Fearing the consequences if the Count de Durendaire presses on with his heavy-handed approach, Lord Francel calmly and diplomatically suggests that the three of you regroup and try your luck at one of the many artisan guilds for which the forest city-state is known, a proposal to which Lord Charlemend grudgingly agrees.
5	4	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_04	You arrive at the Leatherworkers' Guild, where Lord Francel's more measured approach immediately proves to bear fruit, thanks in large part to a fortuitous meeting with a mercenary-turned-merchant who plied his former trade at Camp Dragonhead during the war. The young man instantly recognizes Lord Francel, and─after sharing a moment's reminiscence about the beloved, departed Lord Haurchefant─eagerly offers to aid your cause by introducing you to his employer, Maisenta of the prestigious Black Rabbit Traders. Overjoyed at this turn of events, Lord Francel thanks the former swordsman, and prepares to welcome his potential new trading partner as the Count de Durendaire grumbles and grouses beside you.
6	5	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_SEQ_05	Though Maisenta is initially skeptical of what she and her organization stand to gain from expanding their business to Ishgard, you are successfully able to argue on Lord Francel's behalf, convincing the shrewd trader that the arrangement promises to be lucrative for both parties. Offering a verbal agreement to prepare a shipment of wares to grace the Firmament's markets, she takes her leave to begin the necessary preparations. Encouraged by your success in Gridania, Lord Francel is eager to move on to your next destination. The Count de Durendaire, on the other hand, appears keen to prove that this was but a case of novice's luck...

50	49	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_001	In particular, I'm proud to say that we have spared no effort to realize Lady Hilda's ideal of a place where one and all can have a roof over their head and food in their belly, provided they are willing to work hard and make an honest living.
51	50	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_002	Seeing as things are progressing most swimmingly on that front, I have decided to turn my eye to Lord Briardien's most astute recommendation: encouraging the flow of goods and services, so as to build a thriving economy that will serve as the area's lifeblood.
52	51	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_100_002	As such, Augebert and his men have been hard at work putting the final touches on the ward I have dubbed Featherfall, which is to serve as the Firmament's center of commerce and trade. There is but one remaining issue to resolve...
53	52	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_003	Namely, how we might distinguish our own marketplace from the Jeweled Crozier. After all, if we hope to attract vendors and customers alike to the Firmament, we must offer something that they cannot already find at a more established location.

56	55	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_006	After giving the matter considerable thought, it struck me─what if we were to bring in merchants from the realm over to ply their trade here, that Featherfall might be the Holy See's new hub of foreign trade?
57	56	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_007	It is a most inspired idea, would you not say? And─if you would not disapprove─I would ask *you* to accompany me as our designated emissary to the three city–states. After all, who better to convince our esteemed guests to make the journey here to Ishgard than one of your influence and prestige?
58	57	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_008	(-???-)And if *you* would not disapprove─or, quite honestly, even if you would─*I* will be accompanying you as well.
59	58	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_009	L-Lord Charlemend!
60	59	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_010	It is far from my place to object, but for whatever reason would the Count de Durendaire wish to come along on our humble expedition? Particularly in light of your honored house's rather...shall we say, *conservative*...views toward the expansion of foreign trade...
61	60	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_011	I'll thank you not to make assumptions about the interests of my house, *Lord* Francel. I have always acted in what I believe to be my homeland's best interests. And I will *continue* to do so.
62	61	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_012	Mayhap House Durendaire did not give the warmest of welcomes to outsiders at the Observatorium and Whitebrim Front...
63	62	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_013	But I assure you that we took only the necessary precautions to defend the See from external threats at a time of war. Surely the savior of Ishgard can understand our position.
64	63	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_014	At any rate, the war is over, and our nation has entered a new age. I am not inclined to sit idly by as House Durendaire is left behind the times.
65	64	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_015	And yet, at this most vital of junctures, my son and heir remains lost at sea, and my cousins are either too young or unworldly for the task. And so it falls to me to see to matters myself.
66	65	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_016	I daresay there is some merit for you as well. After all, whatever negotiations you intend to conduct, they can only be aided by the presence of the head of Ishgard's highest of High Houses.
67	66	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_100_016	...I trust you have no objections?
68	67	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_017	Your offer of assistance is most generous, Lord Charlemend. I would not dream of refusing it.
69	68	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_018	Of course not. We depart at once, yes? I've heard Gridania is most lovely at this time of year.
70	69	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_019	Y-Yes...my intention was always to begin our expedition at our closest neighbor. I have it on good word that an establishment there known as the Carline Canopy would be a suitable─
71	70	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_020	The Carline Canopy it is, then. Do take care not to lag behind, yes?
72	71	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_021	L-Lord Charlemend! Wait!
73	72	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_030	...So this is Gridania. The tomes fail to mention how disagreeably dank it is.
74	73	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FONCRINEAU_000_035	While I understand that Lord Francel has only the happiness and well-being of our residents in mind, sometimes I cannot help but fear he is exerting himself overmuch. In that sense, I am most thankful for your tireless support of his cause.
75	74	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FONCRINEAU_000_038	Ah, if it isn't good Mistress Player. Lord Francel was hoping that you might grace us with a visit. I hear that there is a matter he wishes to discuss with you. If you do not have more pressing obligations, pray lend him your ear.
76	75	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_040	...So this is Gridania! Why, it is even more verdant and lush than I had imagined!
77	76	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_041	Hmph. A danker, gloomier city I can scarce imagine. I am glad I do not live here.
78	77	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_042	...And yet, this nation is home to a great number of our own kind. Convincing an Elezen trader or two to come to Ishgard will be done in less than the time it takes for an afternoon tea.
79	78	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_043	To start, I will enlist the services of one of the locals. Feel free to come along, Lord Francel─mayhap you'll learn something.
80	79	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_044	W-Wait...Lord Charlemend!
81	80	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_046	Oh dear, Player. This is precisely what I was afraid of!
82	81	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_047	I did some research before our departure. No doubt this is common knowledge to you, but I read that Gridanians are reserved types who do not warm easily to outsiders─if perhaps not to the degree of our own people.
83	82	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_048	I fear the count─for all his good intentions─might sour the local populace on our offer before we can even make it. Come, we must stop him!
84	83	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_050	Phew! Fortunately, it would seem he has yet to engage the townspeople...
85	84	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANCITIZEN03955_000_055	Hm? Who are you, and what business have you here?
86	85	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_060	You there. I am looking to speak with one of your nation's most prominent traders. Tell me where I might find such a person, and be quick about it─I'm a busy man.
87	86	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANCITIZEN03955_000_061	Hm? I'm not in the habit of entertaining outsiders─rude, arrogant ones least of all. Bugger off and do it yourself!

89	88	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_063	With all due respect, Lord Charlemend...we are guests in this land. Just as you and I were once wary of outsiders like good Player here, so, too, are these people wary of us.
90	89	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_064	In the world outside the Holy See, our titles or the prestige of our houses will avail us no special privilege. Mayhap it would behoove us to conduct our affairs with a measure of humility...
91	90	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_065	...But I fear we have already aroused the suspicion of the townspeople. Let us try our luck at another location...mayhap one of the guilds for which this place is so well known?
92	91	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_066	Hmph. A guild, you say? Very well. Let us stop blithering and be off.
93	92	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_070	If I recall, the Leatherworkers' Guild is in the part of town known as Old Gridania. Would that be correct, Player?
94	93	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_CHARLEMEND_000_075	If you know the way to this guild, then let us be off already, yes? The sooner we can take our leave of this place, the better, I say.
95	94	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_080	Yes, this place seems rather lively. No doubt we can find someone willing to assist us here.
96	95	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_081	I beg your pardon, my esteemed sir! I am a humble visitor from Ishgard, and I was wondering if I might trouble you with a question or two.
97	96	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_082	Hm? What's that, now?
98	97	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_083	Wait... Can it be...Lord Francel? Hah, it *is* you! Whatever brings you to the Twelveswood?
99	98	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_084	What? Pray forgive me, I do not believe I have had the pleasure...
100	99	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_085	You wouldn't know me, but I sure know you. During the war, I plied my trade as a sellsword at Camp Dragonhead. You often came to dine at Lord Haurchefant's invitation, yes?
101	100	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_086	Why...that I did! Lord Haurchefant was a most benevolent man. There were few things he enjoyed more than sharing a good meal in the company of his friends and his men alike.
102	101	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_087	Aye, and I was one of them. I fondly remember the times I sat at his table, sharing in his meat and mead. In the warmth of his hall and his company, for a moment you could forget the bitter cold outside.
103	102	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_088	It's a memory that's stayed with me to this day, long after I returned to Gridania and hung up my blade. Lord Haurchefant was a great man, and I had hoped to return to Ishgard one day to visit him.
104	103	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_GRIDANIANMERCHANT03955_000_089	But then the news of his tragic passing arrived... Even now, I find it hard to believe he's gone.

106	105	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_091	And though I will forever mourn his passing, I take solace in knowing that his sacrifice was not for naught. For because of those like him─and Player here─the war is at long last over, and our nation welcomes a new age of enlightenment and restoration.
107	106	TEXT_LUCKHA201_03955_FRANCEL_000_092	So it is that we come here to fair Gridania, in hopes of establishing trade that will benefit both our nations. Might you perhaps know of any merchants or traders who might be interested in exploring such a possibility?
