4	0	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000010_ALPHINAUD	We have kept you waiting overlong, I fear...
5	1	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000020_KRILE	Not to worry, Alphinaud. We had some rather fine mulled wine to keep us company. Truth be told, you could have delayed your arrival a few moments more...
6	2	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000030_TATARU	Gibrillont got the spicing just right this time. His latest batch is not only delicious and warming, but <Emphasis>soothing to the humours</Emphasis>!
7	3	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000040_YSHTOLA	Indeed. But 'twas not to soothe our humours that we gathered here.
8	4	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000050_KRILE	Ah, no─quite right. The matter of that poor dragoon...
9	5	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000060_ALPHINAUD	You have discovered something─a means to save him?
10	6	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000070_KRILE	Let us not jump to conclusions, shall we? Assess the facts presented, then make an educated analysis, as you were taught.
11	7	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000080_YSHTOLA	Pray cast your mind back to the moment of Estinien's transformation. Do you recall how you described it to us?
12	8	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000090_YSHTOLA	You spoke of the sudden pangs which racked his body when he took up both of Nidhogg's eyes─and of how his form was twisted thereafter into a shadowy semblance of the great wyrm.
13	9	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000100_ALPHINAUD	When he appeared at Falcon's Nest, the wyrm's eyes were fused to his mail.
14	10	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000110_YSHTOLA	Would that only his armor had been corrupted... Snaking forth from the eyes, I descried dark tendrils which entangled his very being. His aether has been all but smothered.
15	11	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000120_ALPHINAUD	Then he is lost to us forever?
16	12	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000130_KRILE	What did I just say about jumping to conclusions!? Y'shtola clearly stated “all but smothered.”
17	13	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000140_KRILE	As I later discovered, her impression matched my own. Though Nidhogg's presence filled my mind's eye, beneath his seething aura, I sensed the merest hint of something else.
18	14	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000150_KRILE	And after listening to Y'shtola's observations, I became more certain of my suspicion: that the “something else” I had sensed was, in fact, the trace of a different will, submerged in the sea of Nidhogg's rage.
19	15	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000160_ALPHINAUD	You mean...
20	16	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000170_YSHTOLA	Yes. 'Tis like that Estinien's spirit yet lingers.
21	17	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000180_ALPHINAUD	Can we not wrest him from Nidhogg's grasp, then!? Tear the eyes from the armor!?
22	18	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000190_YSHTOLA	We know not if that would serve to separate wyrm's soul from man's. None have ever attempted such a feat.
23	19	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000200_ALPHINAUD	Should it offer even the faintest hope of success, then by the gods, I shall be the first to try.
24	20	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000210_KRILE	Alphinaud...
25	21	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000220_KRILE	By all means, hold fast to your hope. But be mindful of the dangers.
26	22	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000230_KRILE	Even should you succeed in excising the eyes from the dragoon's mail, we have no way of knowing if your friend's soul would survive so violent a separation. And that is to say nothing of the possibility that his would-be savior might become Nidhogg's next host.
27	23	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000240_ALPHINAUD	But what other choice remains to us? Should the opportunity present itself, I will tear those foul orbs from Estinien's armor and trust in the resilience of his soul─even at the risk of mine own!
28	24	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000250_HONOROIT	Ah! I've found you at last!
29	25	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000260_HONOROIT	A messenger of the Temple Knights came to the manor some few hours past. The lord commander humbly requests the company of the Warrior of Light and Master Alphinaud.
30	26	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000270_ALPHINAUD	Ser Aymeric would speak with us? Very well. Thank you, Honoroit.
31	27	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000280_YSHTOLA	'Twould seem duty calls. Pray see to yours, and we shall return to ours.
32	28	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000290_ALPHINAUD	Thank you, Y'shtola, Krile. Your words have given me hope where there was none.
33	29	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000300_ALPHINAUD	Come then. Ser Aymeric awaits.
34	30	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000310_KRILE	Alphinaud is allowing his feelings for this dragoon to cloud his thoughts. I worry he may do something rash. Keep an eye on him, would you?
35	31	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000320_MIDGARDSORMR	They think more of their friend's deliverance than their foe's defeat... But will history commend their fealty or condemn their folly?
36	32	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000330_EDMONT	The conference held at Falcon's Nest was to be a celebration of the reconciliation 'twixt man and dragon.
37	33	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000340_EDMONT	But the lingering shade of Nidhogg, clad in the flesh of the Azure Dragoon, did mark the occasion by spilling the blood of his own kind.
38	34	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000350_EDMONT	A timely atrocity to remind the children of Ishgard that the Dragonsong War was far from over...
39	35	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000360_EDMONT	And when fear gave way to fury, the call to arms rang out anew: “Death to Nidhogg! Death to Nidhogg!”
40	36	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000370_AYMERIC	My friends, I thank you for coming.
41	37	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000380_ALPHINAUD	You have had news of Nidhogg?
42	38	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000390_AYMERIC	Alas, not. Our scouts range far and wide, but they have as yet found no trace of the great wyrm.
43	39	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000400_LUCIA	We dispatched an elite unit of dragoons to reconnoiter the Churning Mists, but even they returned empty-handed.
44	40	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000410_ALPHINAUD	A pity...
45	41	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000420_AYMERIC	Fear not, Alphinaud─we shall see the wyrm again soon enough. His words at Falcon's Nest attest to that.
46	42	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000430_AYMERIC	Indeed, he is like to come sooner than we would wish.
47	43	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000440_ALPHINAUD	I assume Ishgard's defenses are being bolstered as we speak?
48	44	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000450_AYMERIC	With all haste. I mean to call upon every able-bodied warrior at our disposal, from the knights of the four houses to the men and women of the watch.
49	45	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000460_AYMERIC	But I did not summon you to discuss strategy.
50	46	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000470_ALPHINAUD	What then would you have of us, my lord?
51	47	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000480_AYMERIC	I will speak plain: now that Nidhogg is possessed of both of his eyes, no mortal force we can muster will repel him. That being the case, we must needs recruit an ally of equal strength...
52	48	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000490_ALPHINAUD	You speak of Hraesvelgr!?
53	49	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000500_AYMERIC	I do. To whom else could we turn?
54	50	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000510_ALPHINAUD	That he is Nidhogg's equal I do not deny. Nor can I name another. But convincing the reclusive creature to do battle with his own brood-brother will be... How shall I put this?
55	51	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000520_AYMERIC	It will be no small undertaking, yes. Estinien's report was most particular about Hraesvelgr's unwillingness to involve himself in the affairs of men.
56	52	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000530_AYMERIC	But much has changed since your visit to Sohm Al, and if there is even a chance that the dragon may be swayed, I <Emphasis>must</Emphasis> plead our case. Whatever price the dragon asks of me, I shall pay it─such was my oath to defend the people of Ishgard.
57	53	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000540_AYMERIC	Come what may, my friends, the battle with Nidhogg will mark the end of my tenure as the acting head of church and state. Will you help me discharge this final duty?
58	54	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000550_ALPHINAUD	We will, my lord─though I fear our involvement offers no guarantee of success.
59	55	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000560_ALPHINAUD	Come, then─we will depart at your leisure.
60	56	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000570_AYMERIC	Thank you. Both of you.
61	57	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000580_AYMERIC	The city is yours, First Commander.
62	58	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000590_LUCIA	My lord. We shall pray for your swift return.
63	59	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000600_HRAESVELGR	You dare summon me again, mortals?
64	60	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000610_ALPHINAUD	Great Hraesvelgr, 'tis not lightly that we beg this audience. Pray hearken to our words, for they concern the future of man and dragon both.
65	61	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000620_AYMERIC	Greetings, Hraesvelgr. I am Aymeric de Borel, acting ruler of the nation of Ishgard.
66	62	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000630_AYMERIC	I am come before you to parley on behalf of my people.
67	63	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000640_HRAESVELGR	...To <Emphasis>parley</Emphasis>? Thinkest thou thy purpose unclear to me? Thou art come to beg mine aid in the battle against the shade of my brood-brother.
68	64	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000650_AYMERIC	You...foresaw mine intent.
69	65	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000660_HRAESVELGR	I but read that which is writ plain in thine eyes. Would that thou had wit enough to scry the answer in mine.
70	66	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000670_HRAESVELGR	My beloved Shiva did once build a bridge 'twixt man and dragon─a bridge which thy treacherous forefathers saw fit to tear down, as thou well knowest.
71	67	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000680_HRAESVELGR	Thinkest thou Nidhogg was alone in despairing at the murder of our brood-sister? Thinkest thou mine own soul did not cry out for vengeance? Know then that upon that accursed day, my heart did wither in my breast, and thy kind become unto me the harbingers of despair.
72	68	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000690_HRAESVELGR	'Tis only Shiva's gentle dream that preventeth me from flying at Nidhogg's shoulder. Be grateful that I swore to abjure aggression ere I consumed her.
73	69	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000700_HRAESVELGR	I permit my children to offer or deny thee aid as they see fit; to warn thy people of my brood-brother's coming. That thou wouldst dare ask more of me but affirmeth thine incurable arrogance.
74	70	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000710_ALPHINAUD	We understand that in your despair at man's betrayal, you seek only the refuge of solitude.
75	71	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000720_ALPHINAUD	But despite your protestations of spent faith, do you not still nurture the smallest flame of hope?
76	72	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000730_HRAESVELGR	Perceivest thou such light in the dusk of mine existence?
77	73	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000740_ALPHINAUD	I do. If you claim I see falsely, then tell me: why did you consent to bear Ysayle upon your back?
78	74	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000750_HRAESVELGR	Ysayle... Piteous, deluded Ysayle. The child did lament her past sins, and sought to balance the scales with her remaining days. 'Twas her unquenchable passion, so alike to that of my beloved, which did spur me into flight.
79	75	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000760_HRAESVELGR	And for mine own part, I would countenance no longer the hands of evil men to use my brood-brother's eye for ill.
80	76	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000770_ALPHINAUD	So you do distinguish between those who acknowledge and repent their sins, and those who perpetuate them. Interesting.
81	77	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000780_ALPHINAUD	It seems to me that you have not, in fact, lost faith in mankind as a whole. Rather, you weigh our respective merits by how we allow the past to influence our future.
82	78	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000790_HRAESVELGR	Spare me thine idle sophistry. Even were there a mote of truth in thy reasoning, what of it? Wouldst thou have me slay mine own sibling to save a city of mortals?
83	79	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000800_AYMERIC	Should we suffer ties of blood to bind our hands then? Nay. If the crime is one of unconscionable evil, we must needs condemn it─even should the transgressor be our closest kin.
84	80	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000810_AYMERIC	When my father corrupted himself and his followers with the power of a primal, I beseeched the Warrior of Light to slay him─an act alike to patricide.
85	81	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000820_AYMERIC	That he did not die by my hand matters little─if anything, it heaps greater disgrace upon my name. But had my father not fallen, he would have drawn countless thousands into a holy war of hellish proportions─which I hold the greater crime. Thus did I order his execution, sparing the lives of my people and yours.
86	82	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000830_AYMERIC	Alas, your brother wyrm now prepares to murder those whom I sought to spare. What is more, he has taken my comrade's body for his own─but if I must slay my dearest friend to defeat my direst foe, I will not flinch from my duty!
87	83	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000840_HRAESVELGR	Thou wouldst strike down thy friend and, by example of thy righteousness, persuade me to break mine oath and kill my kindred?
88	84	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000850_MIDGARDSORMR	Heed me, my child. The servants of Hydaelyn envision a different outcome. They intend salvation not only for Ishgard, but for the doomed dragonslayer as well.
89	85	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000860_MIDGARDSORMR	Believest thou this shade to be Nidhogg returned? Is it not merely a manifestation of his vengeance─the shadow cast by thy brood-brother's rage? I would not command thee, but ponder well thy course lest it lead thee unto greater remorse...
90	86	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_Q1_000_001	What will you say?
91	87	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_A1_000_001	While this shade of vengeance remains, the future will ever be uncertain.
92	88	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_A1_000_002	Help us save our companion.

94	90	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000870_HRAESVELGR	Nidhogg's transformation into rage incarnate is, in part, of mine own doing. I rendered unto him mine eye, and empowered his revenge thereby... But 'tis the purity of my brood-brother's wrath that lendeth him his all-surpassing might.
95	91	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000880_HRAESVELGR	Thou wishest to rescue the dragoon from his fate along with all the rest? I do begin to see why Ysayle entrusted her hope unto thee. Thy purpose is pure. ...But so too is my brood-brother's wrath, and 'tis that which lendeth him his all-surpassing might.
96	92	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000890_HRAESVELGR	What, no words for me, warrior? I take it thou art resolved to act whether I aid thee or no... Ha! I do admire thy determination.
97	93	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000900_HRAESVELGR	Hast thou the strength of will to stand against so terrible a shadow, I wonder? 'Twould seem I must put thee and thy companions to the proof.
98	94	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000910_HRAESVELGR	I shall await thee in the ruins wherein Ratatoskr once dwelled. Heed well the words of my children, and hasten thee to the place of thy trial!
99	95	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000920_HRAESVELGR	Even bereft of an eye, my brood-brother was a fearsome foe indeed.
100	96	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000930_HRAESVELGR	But having tasted thy strength firsthand, full well can I imagine how thou didst bring him low. The dread title of “Azure Dragoon” is no empty appellation.
101	97	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000940_HRAESVELGR	But having tasted thy strength firsthand, I do begin to see how thou didst bring him low. Hydaelyn chooseth Her servants well.
102	98	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000950_HRAESVELGR	Very well. I shall trust in the seed of man one last time. By thy deeds shall the flickering hope that lingereth yet within my heart be kindled anew...or extinguished forever.
103	99	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000960_ALPHINAUD	Your trial is ended as well, then?
104	100	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000970_AYMERIC	Mine was brutal beyond reckoning. Vedrfolnir seems ill acquainted with the notion of “mock” battles...
105	101	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000980_HRAESVELGR	That you yet stand is ready proof of your determination, mortals.
106	102	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000990_HRAESVELGR	Let us fight as allies, then, and together banish my brood-brother's vengeful shade. On my oath, the wrath that once was Nidhogg shall meet its end!
107	103	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001000_HRAESVELGR	This I swear on the memory of my beloved Shiva, and on the soul of lost Ysayle...
108	104	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001010_ALPHINAUD	Our negotiations proved rather more strenuous than I had anticipated, but the results seem well worth the effort.
109	105	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001020_AYMERIC	The battle was indeed hard-won. Thank you, my friends─I would never have earned Hraesvelgr's cooperation had you not seen fit to grant me yours.
110	106	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001030_AYMERIC	'Twas your stalwart heroism that moved the heart of the great wyrm at the last. Any gratitude I can offer is but poor reward for your continued service to Ishgard.
111	107	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001040_ALPHINAUD	'Twould seem our final reckoning with the dread wyrm is at hand. I only wish we had some inkling as to when he means to strike.

145	141	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001380_ESTINIEN	You waste your time. Kill me! It is the only way! Ending Nidhogg...will be my final duty...
146	142	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001390_ALPHINAUD	No! You can't die like this! I won't let you!
147	143	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001400_ALPHINAUD	Augh! Aaaaaahhh!
148	144	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001410_ALPHINAUD	Aaaaaahhh!
149	145	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001420_NIDHOGG	Undone by mortal will. Whither now...?
150	146	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001430_AYMERIC	The eyes! Cast them into the abyss!
151	147	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001440_AYMERIC	He lives. Ah, Estinien, my ill-fated friend...
152	148	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001450_AYMERIC	Lucia! Summon the healers! I want them ready to receive him!
153	149	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001460_LUCIA	At once, Lord Commander!
154	150	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001470_AYMERIC	Allow me to do this much, at least...
155	151	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001480_HRAESVELGR	The Horde have sensed the fall of their master, and scattered to the winds.
156	152	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001490_AYMERIC	You have my gratitude, Hraesvelgr. Your deeds this day have saved a great many lives.
157	153	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001500_HRAESVELGR	Then our alliance hath served its purpose.
158	154	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001510_HRAESVELGR	Thou didst wield the power I granted thee well. 'Twas thine own skill and not mine eye which earned thee victory.
159	155	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001520_HRAESVELGR	I wish thy companion a swift recovery. Fare you well, children of man.
160	156	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001530_ALPHINAUD	The battle is won. We can do no more for Estinien now than bear him home and wish him well, even as Hraesvelgr did. The rest we must trust to the hands of the healers and the grace of the gods.
161	157	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001540_EDMONT	The heroes of the hour return!
162	158	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001550_ALPHINAUD	We but did our duty, my lord. It was the memories of fallen friends and not our heroism which saw us through at the last.
163	159	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001560_ARTOIREL	I gave every onze of my strength, but mine efforts would have counted for naught had the Warrior of Light not arrived to challenge the great wyrm. As a sworn knight of Ishgard, I had hoped to do more for my city...
164	160	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001570_EMMANELLAIN	Well, we cannot <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> be heroes, dear brother. Let us put away our pride for a moment, and revel in the valiant deeds of our comrade! For your sterling service to Ishgard, we salute you!
165	161	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001580_EMMANELLAIN	And while we're on the subject of valiant deeds, I believe I myself have earned some small measure of recognition: under my watchful command, the ballistas of the outer ward struck down a veritable swarm of Dravanian invaders.
166	162	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001590_HONOROIT	My lord's command was certainly watchful. He bravely watched as the siege crews took aim, and continued to watch as countless wyverns met their end. Indeed, the ward's defenders proved so well-drilled that my lord had little occasion to <Emphasis>stop</Emphasis> watching.
167	163	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001600_EDMONT	There will be time enough to determine who is most deserving of recognition later. Our friends are doubtless weary from their exertions.
168	164	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001610_EDMONT	I had chambers prepared in expectation of your return. You are welcome to retire at your leisure.
169	165	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001620_ALPHINAUD	I am most grateful for your hospitality, my lord, but I believe I shall pay a visit to the Temple Knights' infirmary. Pray excuse me.
170	166	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001630_EDMONT	How Master Alphinaud has grown. The plight of his stricken brother-in-arms pains him more than his own hurts.
171	167	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001640_EDMONT	...In which respect, he has come to resemble you, Warrior of Light. Go then─visit the Azure Dragoon, and grant him what comfort you may.
172	168	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001650_ALPHINAUD	Oh... Estinien...
173	169	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001660_ESTINIEN	Cease your mewling, boy. It grates my ears.
174	170	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001670_ALPHINAUD	Forgive me. When I saw you awaken, I could not─ It was such a relief! We feared you might never wake up!
175	171	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001680_AYMERIC	Now, now, Estinien. If Master Alphinaud thought any less of you, you would still be Nidhogg's plaything─<Emphasis>or dead</Emphasis>.
176	172	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001690_ESTINIEN	Aye, aye. 'Twas but a jest.
177	173	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001700_ESTINIEN	I thank you, Alphinaud...and you too, Warrior of Light. Quite how you managed to persuade Hraesvelgr to aid in his brood-brother's downfall, I cannot imagine─but full glad am I that you did. 'Tis an honor to share the mantle of Azure Dragoon with one such as you.
178	174	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001710_ESTINIEN	I thank you, Alphinaud...and you too, Warrior of Light. Quite how you managed to persuade Hraesvelgr to aid in his brood-brother's downfall, I cannot imagine─but full glad am I that you did. Yet again, you have achieved the impossible.
179	175	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001720_AYMERIC	I for my part owe you an apology. When last we met, I did willingly loose an arrow at your heart. Can you forgive me?
180	176	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001730_ESTINIEN	There is naught to forgive, Aymeric. You but acted in defense of Ishgard, as is your duty.
181	177	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001740_ESTINIEN	Were you any less single-minded about it, I would not follow you into battle─nor trust you at my back.
182	178	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001750_ESTINIEN	Besides, I had come to the selfsame conclusion─that I would have to perish for Nidhogg to be stopped. So let us dispense with the hand-wringing. I have heard enough mewling for one day.
183	179	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001760_ALPHINAUD	Oh!
184	180	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001770_ESTINIEN	The tendrils of Nidhogg's foul presence bound up every fiber of my being, usurping my senses, but I yet retained some trace of awareness.
185	181	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001780_ESTINIEN	The wyrm's mind was as a vast and tumultuous sea. Endlessly its black waters churned, his grief and despair at Ratatoskr's murder never calming, never receding. And driven by this surging current came wave upon wave of unrelenting rancor.
186	182	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001790_ESTINIEN	It was the very image of my own heart. There I saw the dark reflection of the hatred I felt after Nidhogg slew my family, when no path remained save vengeance against dragonkind.
187	183	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001800_ESTINIEN	Neither one of us had a choice. But I was blessed with something Nidhogg was not─comrades and teachers to console and admonish me.
188	184	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001810_ESTINIEN	Had I not had them to gainsay my obsession, it would surely have consumed me, as Nidhogg's did him, and we would have been in all respects alike.
189	185	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001820_ESTINIEN	Though his shade is banished, his spirit scattered upon the Sea of Clouds, I feel no joy at his passing. Where once I craved vengeance, I now crave rest.
190	186	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001830_ESTINIEN	Lord Commander, my hunt is at an end. I would lay down the mantle of Azure Dragoon.
191	187	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001840_AYMERIC	My friend...
192	188	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001850_ABEL	He has tired himself with too many words.
193	189	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001860_ABEL	I doubt not that he will make a full recovery, but he must be allowed some few days of quiet.
194	190	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001870_AYMERIC	I too must see my path to its end. Sleep well, my friend.
195	191	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001880_EDMONT	Following the battle with Nidhogg on the Steps of Faith, Ser Aymeric called an assembly that he might make his final proclamation as acting head of state.
196	192	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001890_EDMONT	'Twas there, with one decree, that the thousand-year rule of the archbishops was ended, paving the way for a new republic.
197	193	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001900_EDMONT	The governance of Ishgard would now be placed in the hands of high- and lowborn alike, their ranks represented by the newly founded House of Lords and House of Commons.
198	194	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001910_EDMONT	Church was separated from state. The foundation for change had been carefully laid, and the reforms proposed by Ishgard's new government passed into law without incident.
199	195	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001920_EDMONT	His duty done, Aymeric de Borel gladly stepped down from the archbishop's dais... only to be raised unto the highest seat in the House of Lords.
200	196	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001930_EDMONT	Though he strove at first to refuse this honor, the unexpectedly strident voice of the Count de Durendaire left him little choice but to accept...
201	197	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001940_EDMONT	And so it was that the winds of gentle revolution came to stir.
202	198	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001950_EDMONT	Prominent among the many honored guests at Ser Aymeric's investiture were the ambassadors of dragonkind, a fitting symbol of Ishgard's newfound peace.
203	199	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001960_EDMONT	The people looked on in awe as he soared through the heavens on dragonback, and by their cheers did they hail him an Azure Dragoon for a new age.
204	200	TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001970_EDMONT	Thus were the notes of the Dragonsong rewritten, the din of war giving way to a rising litany of peace and hope.
