4	0	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_00	Minfilia would like you to assist the Immortal Flames.
5	1	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_01	In a bid to learn the whereabouts of the abductees, the Immortal Flames have devised a plan to capture Amalj'aa, using the false priest Ungust as bait. Minfilia bids you take part in the operation as the Scions' representative. Head for Camp Drybone and assemble with the Flames.
6	2	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_02	You have been briefed on the details of the operation. The Flames anticipate that the Amalj'aa will offer fierce resistance, and you are urged to prepare accordingly. When you are ready, proceed to the Invisible City, and lie in wait at the designated location.
7	3	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_03	Mere moments after surrounding the enemy, you learn that there is a traitor in the ranks, and are swiftly subdued. After an indeterminate amount of time, you awake to find yourself imprisoned within an Amalj'aa stronghold, along with the Flames. Speak with them to ascertain the situation.
8	4	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_04	It appears the Amalj'aa mean to make an offering of you and your companions to their primal, Ifrit. If it must end, let it be with weapon in hand. Wait for the right moment, and strike back at the beastmen. ※The Bowl of Embers can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
9	5	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_05	It would appear that Ifrit has the power to bind mortals to his will, but for reasons yet unknown you are immune to his influence. Having failed to make you his minion, Ifrit elects to exterminate you instead, only to find himself outmatched. Quite how you found the strength to resist the godlike being is a question for another time. For now, make your way back to Camp Drybone, and speak with Thancred.
10	6	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_06	Having lavished you with praise, Thancred takes his leave to return to the Waking Sands. Minfilia will be eager to hear back from you as well. Report to her at the earliest opportunity.
11	7	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_SEQ_07	At the Waking Sands, Minfilia and Thancred take turns bombarding you with information, explaining to you how the crystal robbery and the abductions served to advance Ifrit's cause. Thancred then reveals a disturbing truth: in order to prevent the primal from gaining strength, his “tempered” victims must be put to death. Though this revelation casts a grim shadow over your victory, you find yourself more determined than ever to play your part as a Scion.

53	49	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_01	It appears he was able to extract some information from our friend Ungust, the false priest.
54	50	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_02	He revealed that he is due to meet with the Amalj'aa to discuss their dealings.
55	51	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_03	The Immortal Flames believe that the meeting will present an ideal opportunity to ambush and capture the Amalj'aa responsible for the abductions, and so they mean to have Ungust attend as planned.
56	52	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_04	As the Amalj'aa are anticipated to offer fierce resistance, the Immortal Flames have requested our support.

166	162	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_GUIDE_000_162	You should join them at once. Lady Minfilia is most eager to see you.
167	163	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_170	...My late arrival nearly cost <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> life. I wasn't there when the Amalj'aa took <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> prisoner...
168	164	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_171	And I wasn't there when they served <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> to Ifrit...
169	165	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_172	Yes, by some miracle, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> survived─but that does not excuse the fact that <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> should <Emphasis>never</Emphasis> have had to face such dangers alone. I failed <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> utterly.
170	166	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_173	Just as I'm failing you all...
171	167	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_174	What's done is done, Thancred. You can ill blame yourself for every─
172	168	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_175	<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! It is so good to see you again!
173	169	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_176	Impeccable timing, my friend. I had just finished regaling Minfilia with your heroic exploits.
174	170	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_177	Thancred has told me everything. You have done well to return to us.
175	171	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_178	The perils you faced were undeniably great, yet a part of me believes that I had no cause to fear. And now we can put paid to our long investigation.
176	172	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_179	As we suspected, the Amalj'aa undertook both the robbery and the abductions with the aim of summoning their primal, Ifrit.
177	173	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_180	Nor is this tale limited to Ul'dah. Similar incidents have been rife in both Limsa Lominsa and Gridania of late.
178	174	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_181	I daresay you've been curious as to how these crimes are linked to the primals. Permit me to explain.
179	175	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_182	Having manifested in the physical realm, primals must consume aether if they are to maintain their presence here. And the stronger they become, the more aether they require.
180	176	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_183	Now, aether exists throughout creation. It flows through all life, and permeates the very air that we breathe.
181	177	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_184	Alas, this alone will not suffice to sustain the likes of Ifrit. Nay, he and his kind require a more concentrated source of aether─crystals.
182	178	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_185	It is for this reason that incidents involving crystals can often be traced back to a primal.
183	179	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_186	Which leaves us with the why of the abductions. To understand this, you must first understand how primals are born.
184	180	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_187	When all is well with the world, primals possess no physical form. Their essence is dispersed across the great river of aether.
185	181	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_188	However, when the world is plunged into chaos, those who worship the primals cry out to their gods for deliverance from suffering.
186	182	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_189	These cries serve as a beacon toward which a primal's essence is irresistibly drawn. It is this coming together─or “aetheric coalescence”─which grants the beings physical form.
187	183	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_190	Once born, a primal gains strength from its followers' worship. The more numerous and fervent they are, the more powerful their god becomes.
188	184	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_191	But the primals are seldom satisfied with such reverence as their adherents freely give, and in order to gain more power, they do not scruple to <Emphasis>create</Emphasis> followers. They do this by “tempering” mortals─a process to which you yourself were subjected.
189	185	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_192	Yet even as Ifrit took your comrades in his thrall, you alone remained unaffected. This is thanks to the power you possess─the Echo.
190	186	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_193	We know not the why of it, but those blessed with the Echo are immune to primal influence.
191	187	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_194	It is as though a greater power protects us...
192	188	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_195	When first you came to us, I told you that the Echo would be instrumental in dealing with the primal threat. I trust you now begin to see why.
193	189	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_196	The recent incidents all share a common trait: meticulous planning. Such elaborate designs are a new development, and one which fills me with an unshakable sense of foreboding.
194	190	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_197	While I share your concern, my presiding feeling is one of relief at your safe return.
195	191	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_198	Ah, the Immortal Flames assured me that they will deal with the aftermath, so you need not concern yourself with that. We may rest easy for a time.
196	192	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_199	I suggest you take full advantage of the respite, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
197	193	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_MINFILIA_000_200	You may be sure it won't last long. Once the people learn the identity of the hero who felled Ifrit, I fear you will have nary a moment to yourself!
198	194	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_201	Whether she intended to or no, Minfilia neglected to tell you something─something I think it would be best you heard from one of us.
199	195	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_202	It concerns the tempered abductees that were rescued... I am sorry to report that all are to be put to death, the Flames with whom you were imprisoned included. Needless to say, this information must not be made known to the public.
200	196	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_203	I swear to you that we would not do this if there were any other recourse─but once a man is tempered, he is tempered for life. His very existence lends strength to the primal whom he cannot choose but worship.
201	197	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_204	And so we Scions continue our fight, that no more innocents need be sacrificed. I hope that you will continue to stand with us, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
202	198	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_205	But I should be going. I must offer my apologies to the Flame General for the losses his people suffered. Till next time!
203	199	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_206	Gods forgive me... How many more lives...? Louisoix would <Emphasis>never</Emphasis> have allowed this to happen.
204	200	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_THANCRED_000_207	I have to do better... I have to be <Emphasis>stronger</Emphasis>...
205	201	TEXT_MANFST209_00343_QIB_TODO_001	Defeat the Amalj'aa!
