10TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_00Tentoawa is eager to set a trap for Leophyne.
21TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_01You speak with Tentoawa and Loazenikwe, sensing the former's eagerness to depart to the Sea of Clouds. Fortunately, he is not forced to wait long, as Handeloup soon appears with good tidings. The joint operation against Leophyne has been approved, and the Vanu Vanu have agreed to join forces with the Temple Knights should the disgraced knight appear. He asks that you depart soon to take part in discussions of strategy, and the two visitors from Tural appear keen to journey heavensward.
32TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_02Sonu Vanu greets you heartily, and explains that the visit is to proceed as planned, with the caveat that all present will be on alert for any sign of Leophyne. As if summoned by the mention of her name, a Zundu warrior interrupts your conversation, explaining that an Ishgardian airship has fallen from the sky near where the Zundu were practicing the sundrop dance. Sensing Leophyne's machinations, together you, Tentoawa, and Loazenikwe rush to the outskirts of Ok' Zundu to help the fallen warriors.
43TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_03Tentoawa and Loazenikwe stand ready to rush to the rescue of the Ishgardian knights and the Vanu Vanu, certain that Leophyne will make an appearance. Join the Wide Eye and the Shut Eye in defending the injured and bringing a villain to justice!
54TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_04While Leophyne does not scruple to employ every dirty trick in her arsenal, you and your companions manage to best her. Leophyne lashes out in a final desperate attempt to use the Cradle of the Sleepless, but you take the brunt of its force, and your eyelids close under the weight of its influence. You awaken to see Tentoawa and the others smiling above you, with the unchivalrous knight nowhere in sight.
65TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_05With Leophyne having fallen to an uncertain end, and the treasure recovered, your mission is a success. All that remains before Tentoawa and Loazenikwe return home is to inform Handeloup of your success in quelling this threat to his city and people.
76TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_06While it seems news of your deeds has preceded your arrival, Handeloup is nonetheless profuse with his thanks, saying that now Ishgard and Ok' Zundu are closer than ever for having conquered yet another mutual foe. He invites the visitors from Tural back any time before saying his farewells, and Tentoawa encourages you to meet him and Loazenikwe at Xbalyav Ty'e in Tuliyollal before the pair return to their village.
87TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SEQ_07The Cradle of the Sleepless is back with its rightful owners, but Tentoawa and Loazenikwe declare that they do not intend to use it as they once did. Inspired by the fellowship of the Ishgardians and the Vanu Vanu, Tentoawa wishes to forge a path that leads to friendship between his village and its neighbors. In this way he hopes that his people come to live without relying on the treasure, but he realizes that the path must be navigated with delicacy. He and Loazenikwe seem up to the task, however, and after they say their farewells, they turn towards a brighter future.

4948TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_001I shall summon all involved in planning the delegation to the Congregation at once. Pray wait while we discuss matters and reach a final decision.
5049TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_FIRMALBERT_000_005I have heard of your suggestion to join with the Zundu in bringing Leophyne to justice. We were so focused on our tarnished honor that we were blind to the allies right in front of us...
5150TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_010Tentoawa's finally acting like his old self again. Now I'm sure we're ready for whatever lies ahead!
5251TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_020Ser Handeloup still hasn't sent word. I guess the others might not be so enthusiastic about our plan...
5352TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_021To them, the Cradle of the Sleepless is naturally still something to be feared. No matter how much faith they have in your strength, you'd be at Leophyne's mercy if she put you to sleep.
5453TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_022Honestly, I don't blame them. Not even I imagined our treasure could be used for such evil. In Leophyne's hands, it's no more than an indiscriminate weapon...
5554TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_023But that...that means when we get it back, we can turn it into something else!
5655TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_024Something no one's ever thought of before. We can find a way to use it without forcing someone to spend their life in slumber!
5756TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_025...Of course I agree with you, Tentoawa, but we have more pressing matters. Namely, a rogue knight to capture and a treasure to recover!
5857TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_026Heh, right. Sorry, I got ahead of myself.
5958TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_027Apologies for keeping you waiting so long. The Temple Knights have finally reached a decision concerning the delegation to the Sea of Clouds.
6059TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_028And what have you decided?
6160TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_029I am pleased to say that the Zundu have agreed to join forces with us. Together, we shall drive back Leophyne should she attack.
6261TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_030If her shadow darkens even an ilm of their homeland, our peaceful delegation shall turn into a fighting force at a moment's notice! We shall restore the Temple Knights' reputation and recover your artifact in one fell swoop!
6362TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_031Thank you, Handeloup! We promise to do our part if Leophyne shows herself. She won't get away this time!
6463TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_032We have but to hammer out the finer details. Once we are ready to depart, the first group of knights shall leave by airship.
6564TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_033I would ask you both to make your way to Ok' Zundu as soon as possible so you may help plan our strategy.
6665TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_034I'm coming too! I can heal your wounds and, if it comes to it, my staff can bruise as well as a club!
6766TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_035I'll gladly have you with us. I'm done taking on the world alone.
6867TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_036I need you, Loazenikwe. And Player, too. We're stronger together than we could ever be apart.
6968TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_037The cradle never would've been stolen if I'd realized that from the beginning.
7069TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_038And I want you by my side to ensure I don't forget it.
7170TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_039Well then, we'd better be off. I'm keen to meet this Chief Sonu Vanu!
7271TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_FIRMALBERT_000_040We have spread news of our planned visit to Ok' Zundu far and wide throughout Ishgard. If Leophyne was not aware of our delegation's intent, she is now, and doubtless the bait will be too tantalizing for her to resist.
7372TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_045I must gather my finest knights and inform them of our plan before we depart. While I am making those final preparations, I ask that you go to Ok' Zundu ahead of us.
7473TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_050Their graceful dancing belies their bulk! Can they fly, too?
7574TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_055We're on a floating island! What other fantastic locales can be found in Eorzea!?
7675TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_100Honored netherling, your return to Ok' Zundu is as welcome as the arrival of spring. Sonu knows why you come─wicked hearts seek to bring chaos to our home.
7776TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_101And so the Zundu shall rise to its defense if needed. As the sun's rays chase away the shadows of night, the sundrop dance shall keep the tendrils of sleep at bay.
7877TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_102Chief Sonu Vanu, it's an honor to meet you. I'm Tentoawa, and if this sundrop dance is as invigorating as you say, I'd love to see it for myself!
7978TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_103
8079TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_104The Zundu shall dance before Ishgard's warriors upon their arrival. Brave Tentoawa is welcome to join the proceedings.
8180TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_105That was your original intent, right? I see... If we're to draw Leophyne out, it makes sense to pretend like nothing is amiss.
8281TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_106Zundu warriors unify their strength through the sundrop dance, and the sight is so fearsome that many choose to flee rather than fight. Netherling warriors may learn much from such an approach─breaking the enemy's spirit avoids needless bloodshed.
8382TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_107Yet all dancers must hone their skills before wild animals first, that the sundrop dance does not fail them at the most crucial moment. It is for that reason our dancers await at the outskirts of Ok' Zundu for the netherlings' arrival.
8483TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_108When the performance begins, it shall draw the attention of all like a roiling cloud coming over the horizon. Watch carefully for any who would take advantage of that moment.
8584TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_109After the dance is finished, netherlings will present the Zundu with─

8887TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_ZUNDU04823_000_112Chief Sonu! Netherling ship appears in the skies like sudden sunshower, hurtling toward earth!
8988TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_ZUNDU04823_000_113Swiftly it descends, crashing down near Zundu dancers! Ship's markings are Ishgardian!
9089TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_ZUNDU04823_000_114Zundu are unhurt, but wounded netherlings pour from vessel!
9190TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_Q1_000_000What will you say?
9291TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_A1_000_001The Temple Knights would never harm the Zundu intentionally.
9392TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_A1_000_002Like a lightning bolt in the night, Leophyne strikes...
9493TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_116Agreed. This has the scent of the enemy. Just as Sonu has no reason to doubt that the sun shall rise on the morrow, he has no reason to mistrust the Temple Knights.
9594TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_117The Temple Knights were coming by airship, right? All Leophyne had to do was lull the pilot to sleep...
9695TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_118She saw right through us, and now we're on the back foot!
9796TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_119Great winds can alter even a raging river's course. What matters is to stand strong and move forward, and now, we must offer aid to the netherlings who come as guests.
9897TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_120Right. Let's go!
9998TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_125We're fortunate that Leophyne chose the outskirts of the settlement to enact her horrible plan. Imagine if the ship crashed over Ok' Zundu, or even Ishgard...
10099TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_130Go as a gale wind to the wrecked airship. Sonu shall muster warriors to search nearby islands─this Leophyne will not catch the Zundu unawares again.
101100TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_135The first airship crashed!? Then I'm afraid we must delay sending out any more until safety can be assured. Forgive me, but I must ask that you ascertain the situation there at once!
102101TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_FIRMALBERT_000_140All contact from the knights on the advance vessel has ceased... Could Leophyne have known what we were planning!?
103102TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_200If this is the work of the cradle, Leophyne can't be far.
104103TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_201We must tend to the wounded, but I won't let her escape again. This ends today, one way or the other!
105104TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_202There you are, Leophyne!
106105TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_203You came all this way just to greet me? Oh, I am honored. I only hope my gift was satisfactory.
107106TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_204'Tis a shame you will not see Ishgard crumble. Alas, I can scarcely suffer rats to scurry about my feet, threatening to gnaw away at my carefully laid plans.
108107TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_205At least you bear witness to the dying breath of the Temple Knights' flagging honor. We would sooner see that wrecked airship soar again than their reputation return to its former glory.
109108TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_206Yet even I did not foresee that the Zundu would be in the ship's path! The Fury favors me, for who now would trust a nation so careless as to put their neighbors at risk?
110109TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_207Everyone knows you're behind this! People won't turn on each other so easily!
111110TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_208Oh, I didn't see you there! The Shut Eye, wide awake! Doubly honored I am that you came all this way just to meet your end.
112111TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_209Enough! We're taking the cradle back─we won't let your evil continue any longer!
113112TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_210Such bold words. If I recall correctly, your people reaped great benefits from this artifact's powers...all at the cost of someone's waking life. *Your* life.
114113TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_211Pray do not misunderstand me. That was not meant to be a denouncement of your people. On the contrary, they have my utmost respect.
115114TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_212We are bound by our very nature. No matter how mighty we become, we are slaves to the whims of sleep.
116115TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_213Yet this artifact can sunder those shackles and grant true freedom. It makes its wielder stronger, and their enemies weak! A perfect weapon, if you ask me.
117116TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_214I can't say whether using the cradle is right or wrong. I only know that a life lived at the cost of another is no life at all.
118117TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_215You're right about one thing. We are bound by our nature. But that doesn't shackle us─it brings us together.
119118TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_216And whether I'm asleep or awake, as long as Loazenikwe's by my side...that's the life I want.
120119TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_Q2_000_000What will you say?
121120TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_A2_000_001We'll take the cradle back─together!
122121TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_A2_000_002Show her no quarter─I'll be your shield!
123122TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_218She's exhausted the cradle's power on the Temple Knights. This is our chance!
124123TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_219Hmph, no plan is without its wrinkles, I suppose. Fortunately, I prepare for all contingencies!
125124TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_220You had an opportunity to live a quiet life, but I will not give it again. This time, I shall send you into a slumber from which you will never wake!
126125TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_300The artifact swells with power...it begs to be released!
127126TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_301Now you shut your eyes for the final time. Take a last glimpse of the waking world!
128127TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LEOPHYNE_000_400Ungh, you stubborn... You may have won today, but this is *not* over!
129128TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_401Yes it is!

136135TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_408We finally stopped her!

141140TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_415It's good to see you awake! Don't worry, you weren't asleep for long. And judging by your fierce expression, the cradle didn't sap any of your trademark vigor.
142141TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_ZUNDU04823_000_416Netherling looks hale as a warrior in their prime─good! Our wicked foes fled from sundrop dance like twilight before dawn!
143142TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_420Tidings of netherling's awakening are as soothing as the sound of first summer rain! No Zundu or Temple Knights were lost in the struggle─a miracle worthy of celebration!
144143TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_SONUVANU_000_425The time will come when Ishgard and Ok' Zundu bond over sharing of culture and custom. But today we bond through combat─and that tie does not break.
145144TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_430Player, you are returned! The wounded have been safely conveyed to Ishgard and are being treated at the Congregation. There is more to share, but I would ask that you bring Master Tentoawa and Mistress Loazenikwe here first.
146145TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_FIRMALBERT_000_435I have received word that Leophyne will no longer be a thorn in our side! You and our companions from Tural truly were sent by the Fury Herself!

149148TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_500Your work is done, Player. You did a commendable job as our shield, and now you can lay down your burden.
150149TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_501It was thanks to your bravery that I was able to deal the final blow to Leophyne. And with the cradle back in our possession, I think we can consider this expedition across the seas to be a success!
151150TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_502The Zundu helped us gather the wounded and see them safely off to Ishgard. We couldn't have done it without you!

153152TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_503You were equally as impressive! I should learn the sundrop dance myself, though I won't strike a figure half as fierce as yours!
154153TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_504The Zundu seem to have everything well in hand, and Handeloup is likely eager to see us. We should return to Ishgard as soon as we can.
155154TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_600Ah, the heroes of the day have returned! Thanks to your valor, the threat Leophyne posed is no more. What's more, not a single life was lost.
156155TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_601On behalf of the Temple Knights, allow me to express my utmost gratitude to you all!
157156TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_602You don't owe me any thanks. After all, it was my fault that the cradle was stolen in the first place, and ultimately my fault that your delegation to Ok' Zundu turned into a melee.
158157TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_603It may be true that our visit to the Sea of Clouds was far from peaceful, but the bond between the Zundu and Temple Knights has only deepened through overcoming mutual adversity. Blessings often take inscrutable forms.
159158TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_604And while we know not whether Leophyne yet lives, we do know that she can no longer reach the source of her ill-gotten power, so we have little more to fear from her.
160159TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_605With the crisis behind us, the commonfolk no longer have aught to fear. We will make known the story of Leophyne's schemes and the heroes who worked to foil them, and in time I hope that trust in our order will be restored.
161160TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_606The Temple Knights shall continue to build relations with our neighbors for years to come─relations which shall form the foundation for Ishgard's future. We would be honored if we could count you among our allies in this endeavor!
162161TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_607Anything you need, simply call upon us. We'll be there, no questions asked!
163162TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_608And with that, it's time we returned home. It's been an honor!
164163TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_609We'll be passing through Tuliyollal on our way back, Player. If you have business in those parts, we'd love to speak with you at Xbalyav Ty'e before setting off. See you soon, hopefully!
165164TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_610For ten years he alone defended his people, without rest or sleep... I understand the importance of tradition, but Master Tentoawa seems to be more suited for walking a path of his own making.
166165TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_HANDELOUP_000_615He needs but to know his own heart, and I believe these recent events have given him such knowledge. He is bound for greatness, regardless of how he chooses to live.
167166TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_FIRMALBERT_000_620Pray give Master Tentoawa my regards if you see him. Each and every Temple Knight owes him a debt of gratitude!
168167TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_625I'm glad you made it back to Tural, Player. I'd been in Ishgard for so long I'd almost forgotten what it's like to sweat─but I remember now, you can be sure!
169168TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_700Player, there you are! I was afraid we wouldn't see you before we left.
170169TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_701We arrived not long ago, and apprised Br'uk Evu of everything that happened.
171170TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_702This is the longest I've spent away from our village, but even though Tuliyollal and Ishgard were like entirely different worlds to me, I was only ever treated with kindness.
172171TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_703Hmm? Is anything the matter, Tentoawa?
173172TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_704Nothing, it's just...something I've been thinking about.
174173TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_705Our people have always been self-sufficient. But the Ishgardians and the Zundu showed that looking to your neighbor can reveal a way through the harshest difficulties.

179178TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_710And you heard Handeloup─the bond between Ishgard and Ok' Zundu was only made deeper through their shared ordeal. To trust another to such a degree... Well, I think it's a goal we should all strive toward.
180179TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_711We have at least one friend like that, don't we? She who bent her ears to every note of the narwhal's lullaby without a shade of fear in her eyes.
181180TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_712Thank you, Player.
182181TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_713For believing in us. For believing that no matter the outcome, your actions would not be in vain. In so doing you taught me the worth of fighting alongside allies you can trust.
183182TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_Q3_000_000What will you say?
184183TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_A3_000_001Even if your shield breaks, that is not the end.
185184TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_A3_000_002I only protected you as you protected me.
186185TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_100_713You're right. It's our faith in our allies─and their faith in us─that gives us the courage to protect each other.
187186TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_110_713Heh, is that what I did? I honestly don't remember much about that moment... I think I was only acting on instinct. I suppose that's what it means to have faith in your allies.
188187TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_714But approaching someone with open arms doesn't mean they'll accept you. The relations between our people and our neighbors have been strained by generations of mistrust, and we must take care to mend them properly.
189188TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_715If we can do that, and learn to look towards the future hand in hand, then there will be no need to use the cradle ever again.
190189TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_100_715People can sleep and dream untroubled, and awaken with bright eyes... I want to see those days come to pass.
191190TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_716Me too. Then you and I can finally spend more time together!
192191TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_717R-Right! Of course.
193192TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_LOAZENIKWE_000_718If we're going to see this future, then we should get back to our village. They'll be overjoyed to see the cradle returned.
194193TEXT_KINGBA151_04823_TENTOAWA_000_719Thank you for everything, Player! Next time we meet, may we both have good news to share!
