10TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_00Lalah Jinjahl is eager to share tidings from the Sharlayan motherland.
21TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_01In eager tones, Lalah informs you that the analysis of the mystery plant is complete. It has been determined to be muscmaloi, a variety of herb that possesses potent aether-fortifying properties, owing to which its cultivation is outlawed. Having been thwarted from obtaining it at the arboretum, the fugitives will likely seek other means of procurement, and Lalah has identified an apothecary at Lost Hope as a source for the herb. On your way to find this individual, you next make for Black Brush Station in central Thanalan.
32TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_02No sooner do you arrive at Black Brush Station than you meet with a distressed woman who fits the description of the apothecary. She breathlessly explains that three strangers have suddenly set upon a customer of hers, and you and Lalah rush to Lost Hope and the man's aid.
43TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_03True to your suspicions, the strangers are your fugitives─but who should the customer at their mercy be but Faldrinet. You force your way between the healer and his assailants, and a standoff ensues. After a tense exchange, Loifa uses his power to enhance an antling, but provoked to anger by Faldrinet, Mahaud and Ancel suddenly fall to their knees in pain. Though it is not immediately clear what is happening to them, your priority is to deal with the fell beast, which Faldrinet has lured away.
54TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_04You catch up to the beast and put it down before it can cause harm. The deed done, you turn to assist Faldrinet.
65TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_05Thanks to your ministrations, Faldrinet is soon back on his feet, and together you return to the scene of the confrontation with Loifa.
76TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_06You find Mahaud and Ancel still suffering from their mysterious ailment. Observing their symptoms prompts Lalah to recall rumors of a forbidden procedure said to have been conducted by a Sharlayan healer years ago─rumors that were summarily dismissed by the Forum. Nevertheless, the fugitives' plight gives her cause to wonder...but Loifa offers no confirmation and simply mocks her naivety. Again they make to teleport away, but ere they do so, the apothecary hesitantly steps forward, having recognized Mahaud and Ancel as her children...
87TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_07The confrontation thus concluded, the apothecary recounts her tale. Mahaud and Ancel are her adopted children, she explains, and when they were both gravely ill, a Sharlayan healer by the name of Guildivain appeared and offered to cure them. The man took them away, and she had not seen them for years...until they seemingly came for Faldrinet.
98TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_08After Faldrinet takes his leave, the apothecary reveals that it was him rather than the fugitives who sought to purchase her muscmaloi. She also tells you about a merchant in Aleport from whom Faldrinet procures rare alchemical ingredients. The plot duly thickened, Lalah suggests returning to Idyllshire to ponder recent revelations.
109TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_SEQ_09Lalah confesses her confusion at recent developments, which seems to contradict her assumptions. The rumors of a renegade sage conducting depraved experiments are of particular concern, for the nature of the fugitives suggests there may be a kernel of truth to them─yet the Forum was nevertheless adamant in their denial. While she attempts to make sense of everything, you resolve to spend your time fruitfully by further honing your skills. ※The next sage quest will be available from Lalah Jinjahl upon reaching level 75.

4948TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_000Wonderful timing, Player! Remember that mystery plant I sent to Sharlayan for analysis? I received the results not long ago.
5049TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_001It was muscmaloi, a herb that possesses potent aether-fortifying properties. Owing to its effect, its cultivation was outlawed some years ago.
5150TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_002'Tis most certainly why the fugitives came to Eorzea. Unable to obtain the herb in Sharlayan, they decided to procure it from the arboretum.
5251TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_003They likely intend to use it in conjunction with the soul crystal to further enhance themselves. Though their motives are still a mystery, the fact remains that they have already caused harm and will continue to do so until they are brought to justice.
5352TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_004Now, as they failed to obtain muscmaloi here, they will need to look elsewhere. And I'm pleased to say that my informer has helped me to identify an apothecary who deals in the herb─and whom I suspect our quarry will seek out.
5453TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_005This individual is a resident of Lost Hope in central Thanalan, and that is where we shall next take ourselves.
5554TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_100_005Mark my words, they won't escape this time! I'll suffer them to misuse the sage's noble art no longer, and much less with *that* soul crystal!
5655TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_006...Ahem. If we are to catch the fugitives, we had best hurry. That said, we should take a moment to regroup and prepare at Black Brush Station before heading on to Lost Hope.
5756TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_010Good gods, such a dry and dusty place this is... What I wouldn't give for a bath right now...
5857TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_011Uwaaah! H-How long have you been here!?
5958TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_012...I-I mean, 'tis well you are here. Ahem. I've already replenished my supplies, so if you are ready, we may begin looking for the apothecary at once. A Hyuran woman whose facial tattoo should mark her out...
6059TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_013The fugitives are like to be searching for her too. We must find her before they─ ...Hm?
6160TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_014That woman yonder fits the description...but something appears to be amiss. Let us investigate.
6261TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_024Help me! Please!
6362TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_025What ails you, madam?
6463TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_026I was dealing with a customer when a group of bandits attacked us! I managed to flee, but he's still at their mercy!
6564TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_027Worry not, we'll help you. Pray lead the way!
6665TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_028Thank you!
6766TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_029It could only be them!
6867TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_040They're over there...
6968TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_041It's indeed them... But wait─is that Master Faldrinet!?
7069TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_050It's over, villains!
7170TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_051Lay down your arms, or else...

7372TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_053Answer me one thing.
7473TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_054What is this all for? Why go to such lengths and forsake everything you had to obtain power? And why wield such power against good, well-meaning souls?
7574TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_055Good? Well-meaning?
7675TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_056You know nothing about us! *Nothing*! You're just fools who believe everything you've been fed!
7776TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_057I'm beginning to regret sparing you.
7877TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_058Do you feel it? The weight of the “sacred duty.” To strive for the betterment of mankind and stand as a beacon of hope...
7978TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_059...To play with people's lives. Do you feel it? The weight of the sin?
8079TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_060You would speak of sin?
8180TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_061To do naught when a life might be saved─*that* is the greatest sin. Every day, unfortunate souls die without reason. At fate's *whim*. 'Tis the sage's duty to fight this injustice by whatever means he may.
8281TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_062If you understand this, then it is not too late for you. You may yet make something of your lives.
8382TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_063Shut your mouth!
8483TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_064If you're determined to protect that wretch, then I will consider you complicit!
8584TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_065Wait... I *know* you...
8685TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_066Rather too close to the settlement for comfort. I fear for the civilians.
8786TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_067They wouldn't stand a chance against such a fiend...as they would well know.
8887TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_ANCEL_000_068You...you bastaaard!
8988TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_069No! Don't let him provoke you!
9089TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_MAHAUD_000_070Ugh... Unnngh...
9190TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_071Stay with me! Listen to my voice!
9291TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_072We must lure the beast elsewhere and tend to it. Player─would you mind assisting me?
9392TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_073Go! I have the situation here in hand!
9493TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_074Deal with the beast! Don't worry about me!
9594TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_075No...it's not possible...
9695TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_080Whew, thank you, my friend...and well fought! I daresay you're a born sage. Fascinating...
9796TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_081But come, we should return to the others. The villains may not remain stricken for long.
9897TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_082Will they be all right...?
9998TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_082Oh dear, it seems they are still under the weather.
10099TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_090Their condition is unchanged. We should probably take advantage of this and apprehend them...
101100TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_100_090But this symptom...
102101TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_MAHAUD_000_091Ungh... Arrrgh!
103102TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_092Hold on. I'm getting us out of here.
104103TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_ANCEL_000_093<pant> We're fine, Loifa...
105104TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_094No, you're not, and you know it!
106105TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_095It's the enhancement, isn't it? I know something of the procedure. Of its potency...and the harm it causes.
107106TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_096There's a limit to the amount of corporeal aether a living being can harbor. As we grow up, it waxes; as we grow old, it wanes.
108107TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_097A gradual, gentle process, if allowed to function in the natural fashion...
109108TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_100_097But complications may arise when one forcibly fortifies that aether─as a rogue “healer” was rumored to have been doing with live subjects some years ago.
110109TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_098The man used an unproven procedure on countless souls─a *forbidden* procedure, known only to a select few sages.
111110TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_099...
112111TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_100And though he succeeded in a few instances, those subjects suffered from debilitating side effects... But those rumors were denounced by the Forum as baseless. And yet...
113112TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_101Hmph. You'll believe anything they tell you, won't you? Naive fools...
114113TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_102...What!?
115114TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LOIFA_000_103Can you stand?

122121TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_110I had the perfect chance to apprehend the fugitives. To complete my mission. But I couldn't...
123122TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_111It seems you know them─the ones called Mahaud and Ancel.
124123TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_112Of course. They're my adopted children.
125124TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_113They were orphaned at a young age, and I took them in and raised them as my own. Though none of us were related by blood, we became as close a family as any.
126125TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_114Ours was a quiet, comfortable life. But then one day Mahaud fell sick. She had a raging fever, and grew weaker with every passing moment... Aetherspurn, the illness is called.
127126TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_115I've read about it─a rare disease wherein the body becomes unable to draw aether from food. There is no known cure, only palliative care.
128127TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_116Our troubles didn't end there. Even as we were struggling to look after Mahaud, a fell beast attacked our settlement...
129128TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_117Ancel tried to protect his sister and was badly hurt. The chirurgeon said that he would be bedridden for the rest of his days.
130129TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_118I didn't know what to do. Without the coin to care for them, I... My mind went to dark places. I began thinking of how I might spare them the pain. Spare us all.
131130TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_119It was in that state that he found me. A kindly traveler.
132131TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_120...A healer?
133132TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_121Yes. He offered to help Mahaud and Ancel and refused what little payment I tried to give. But he also said that their condition demanded special care and facilities. It would take years, many years. Desperate as I was, I accepted without hesitation. And so he left with my children...
134133TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_122It was hard not knowing what became of them. Wondering if I had made the right choice. But I clung to the hope that one day we would be reunited...and we were! We were... Oh, to finally see them again is...I haven't the words for it. And it matters not that they've changed.
135134TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_123The healer... What was his name?
136135TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_124Guildivain, he called himself. A healer of some renown in his native Sharlayan, I believe.
137136TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_125A truly touching tale! Where there is life, there is hope─would you not agree?
138137TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_126Now then, if I am no longer needed here, I shall return to making my rounds.
139138TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_GUILDIVAIN_000_127Till next time, my aspiring sage.
140139TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_100_130I didn't have the chance to speak with Mahaud and Ancel properly, but whatever they've gotten involved with, I hope they will be all right...
141140TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_130I believe the danger is passed, but for good measure, I will ask the Immortal Flames to keep an eye on the area.
142141TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_131We're in your debt.
143142TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_132Now, if you do not mind telling me, was this your first time meeting Master Faldrinet?
144143TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_133Oh, no. He's a regular of mine, introduced by an acquaintance. And when he comes, he always takes a moment to treat those who are unwell.
145144TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_134To have so many kindly healers, Sharlayan must be a wonderful place indeed.
146145TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_135...And who is this acquaintance of yours, if I may ask?
147146TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_136A merchant in Aleport. Master Faldrinet buys alchemical ingredients from him─rare items sourced directly from Thavnair.
148147TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_137I see... Out of curiosity, what did Master Faldrinet buy from you this time?
149148TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_138Oh, just the usual─a few sprigs of muscmaloi. He was actually the one who told me where to get the herb. Says it's used to treat certain serious illnesses.
150149TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_PHARMACY04069_000_139Well, if you'll excuse me, I must be returning to my stall. I don't know when, but I know my children will return, and I must work hard if I'm to give us better lives.
151150TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_140...
152151TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_141Let us return to Idyllshire for now. Recent events have given me much to ponder...
153152TEXT_AKTKBB111_04069_LALAHJINJAHL_000_150Player... Ashamed though I am to admit this, I'm no longer certain of the truth...
