40TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_00The worried look on Lina Mewrilah suggests she bears grave tidings. Or not.
51TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_01Alma is unwell, but as to what ails her, none can say. Lina suggests you continue your conversation on the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>.
62TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_02Jenomis is near a decision on where to next take his expedition, or at least so Lina believes.
73TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_03According to Jenomis's newest findings, the auracite are creations of an otherworldly being sealed beneath the Orbonne Monastery─an ancient sanctuary deep within the heart of a Dalmascan jungle. During the principal's speech, Cid appears to deliver Mikoto a device she requisitioned the chief engineer to build, then leaves without as much as a farewell.
84TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_04The device conceived by Mikoto is, in fact, a means of protecting Alma from the aetherial influence of the Otius.
95TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_05Former royal fusilier and sky pirate Bwagi invites you aboard his airship that he may take you to speak with a general for the resistance movement to which he and his companions now belong.
106TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_06General Fran of the Dalmascan resistance group, Lente's Tears, promises her assistance in locating the Orbonne Monastery in return for financial and military aid from both the Eorzean and Doman alliances, and the East Aldenard Trading Company.
117TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_SEQ_07Montblanc appears both frightened and excited at the notion of aiding the Dalmascan resistance in their plight against the Garlean Empire; though, perhaps you should speak with Jenomis first before sharpening your blade.

5248TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_000Greetings and salutations, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I suppose you are wondering whether or not the good Jenomis has finally determined where in the world our next adventure is to take us...
5349TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_001The good news is, he has. The bad news, however...
5450TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_002Now, while it is not in my nature to be sensationalist, sensationalism <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> in my job description, so please bear with me when I tell you not all is right aboard the airship Lexentale. Something about Alma has me deeply worried.
5551TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_003I would not trust this information in the hands of my publisher, let alone some sullen gate guard. Shall we continue our conversation on the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis> away from inquisitive ears?
5652TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_010Principal Jenomis claims to have learned much from his continued study of the Durai Papers. Still, he appears to be frustrated at a lack of information crucial to solving the mystery.
5753TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_AIRSHIPGUIDE03003_000_020Shall I prepare the shuttle for you, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>my lady<Else/>my lord</If>?
5854TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_Q1_000_000Board the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>?
5955TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_100The question is, then, where exactly did Ramza and his fellowship journey next?
6056TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_101Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. To what do we owe this unexpected visit? I had not planned on summoning you for another several turns of the sun.
6157TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_102I apologize if we have caused you any worry. I suppose one cannot allow a reporter in their midst and not expect her to report what she sees...though I did expect a tad more discretion from Miss Mewrilah.
6258TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_103Alma has, as of late, been experiencing...difficulties with her health. Chirurgeons have been called upon to discern what exactly it is that ails her, but as far as they can tell, there is nothing physically wrong with my sister. The consensus is the rigors of an extended stay in a foreign land have taken their toll on her fragile heart.
6359TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_ALMALEXENTALE_000_104<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! When did you─
6460TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_105Alma!
6561TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_ALMALEXENTALE_000_106I'm fine, Brother.
6662TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_107It is obvious you are not! You must return to your chambers and rest!
6763TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_ALMALEXENTALE_000_108Forgive me. Perhaps we shall speak again once I regain my strength. Until then, please... Look after my father.
6864TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_109Now then, where were we? Ah, yes. The matter of our next expedition.
6965TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_110As we discovered during our most recent foray into the Estersands, the Dalmascan capital of Rabanastre appears to lie upon the ruins of what can only be the Royal City of Lesalia─ancient capital of the lost kingdom of Ivalice.
7066TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_111Shortly after, we stumbled across remnants of the legendary Clockwork City of Goug cleverly repurposed into a lighthouse overlooking the Ridorana Cataract─remnants which now sit suspended above the fathomless chasm.
7167TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_112Lesalia, Goug. What have they in common, you ask? I shall tell you─they both appear in my ancestor's account of the rise of Ivalice: the Durai Papers.
7268TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_113And with each new discovery, this forbidden chronicle is now proving Ivalician legend to be more fact than faerie tale.
7369TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_114There is no denying the proof, and it is but a matter of time before scholars and historians from across the realm come to the same conclusions.
7470TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_115But as you all are aware, my aim has never been to simply prove the existence of Ivalice. No, I shall not rest 'til I have revealed the truth of young Ramza's role in King Delita's ascension, and cleared my ancestor Orran Durai of the false accusations made against him by the church.
7571TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_Q2_000_000How do you respond?
7672TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_A2_000_001Then what are we waiting for?
7773TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_A2_000_002Should we not see to Alma first?
7874TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_120I have a possible destination in mind. Arriving there safely, however, is another matter. To that end, I have enlisted the aid of our company's newest members.
7975TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_121Despite my pleas to do otherwise. Who knows what trouble those two will see us into?
8076TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_130Kugane's chirurgeons would have us believe she is in no immediate danger, as her illness is not one of the body, but of the mind. To borrow their words, her spirit is in a state of unbalance and merely requires time to right itself.
8177TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_131Alma will be fine as long as she remains in bed. The last thing she needs is any further excitement...especially at the paws of these meddlesome mole-bats.
8278TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_140Though, I must admit, both Montblanc and his brother have proven more useful than I would ever have dared to imagine.
8379TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_141When it comes to usefulness, I am first in the field...or was it furriest in the field? Would you like to feel my fur, kupo?
8480TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_HURDY_000_142And you wonder why Ramza despises you so, Brother! They do all the work, and all you do is jest, kupo!
8581TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_143Ah, but you are mistaken, Hurdy. I bear neither you nor your brother any ill will. Any <Emphasis>further</Emphasis> ill will, that is. If anything, I owe you my thanks for your recent contributions.
8682TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_144His <Emphasis>thanks</Emphasis>? Are you hearing what I'm hearing? What happened to the venom-spitting adder we all used to know and hate?
8783TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_145Alma certainly seems pleased with the change, but forgive me for not buying into this all-too-convenient transformation.
8884TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_146Simply showing the world that Ivalice actually existed will not validate the claims chronicled in the Durai Papers.
8985TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_147That is correct, Father. The key lies with Ramza Beoulve. If we can find evidence of his hidden role in history, it will prove Orran's testimony true and safeguard our family name from ridicule.
9086TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_148Which is why I turned the focus of my research to Delita's forgotten companion and his actions during the War of the Lions. It was only then I discovered something most intriguing─an underlying struggle with an unknown force, a force with the power to bring about calamitous ruin.
9187TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_149Auracite! The twisted abominations we encountered in both Lesalia and Goug─the Lucavi─they are born of these unholy crystals.
9288TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_150While nobles of the north and south squabbled over Ivalice's crown, Ramza silently sought to rid the world of a darker evil─evil manifest from the deepest desires of men and women whose minds had fallen prey to the auracite.
9389TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_151And with each confrontation did Ramza's fellowship grow smaller. Countless companions lost to a cause that would go unwritten, yet was far more important than any clash of armies. And so did they endure, until reaching their final destination: the Orbonne Monastery.
9490TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_152Oh, I know this one! The Orbonne Monastery is where Princess Ovelia was raised! There is a scene about it in <Emphasis>The Zodiac Brave Story</Emphasis>!
9591TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_153After Delita emerged victorious in his final campaign, he married the princess to legitimize his claim to the throne of Ivalice.
9692TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_154Ah, I see someone has been paying attention.
9793TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_155But I don't understand. Why would Ramza's crusade against the Lucavi take him back there?
9894TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_156According to the Durai Papers, the sinister being who engendered the auracite was said to have slumbered beneath the monastery.
9995TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_157But who...or what would have the means to create something so powerful?
10096TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_158Ultima, the High Seraph.
10197TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_159A seraph!? Er...what's a seraph?
10298TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_160Seraphs are believed by some to be servants of the gods─divine beings whose only purpose is to carry out the will of their immortal masters. As to whether or not Ultima can claim this title, however, I cannot say.
10399TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_161Just as there were those who chose to worship Ultima and her otherworldly might, there were equally as many who feared the visitor and her deadly magicks, oft referring to her as the “Angel of Blood” for the carnage left in her wake.
104100TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_162Interesting... What if the the spell <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> claims to have experienced in the Praetorium─coincidentally also called Ultima─was, in fact, an Allagan interpretation of the very magicks introduced to Hydaelyn by the High Seraph?
105101TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_163But that would mean... What would that mean?
106102TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_164I have spoken with several colleagues back in Sharlayan regarding their opinions on the ancient incantation, and while they yet have little to show for their research, they all agree on one thing: the manner in which Ultima aetherially manifests should not be possible...at least on Hydaelyn.
107103TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_165So it would naturally make sense if we discovered that the Allagans learned the spell from a being not of this dimensional plane. As to exactly <Emphasis>how</Emphasis> they convinced the being to impart that knowledge unto them...
108104TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_166Not of this plane? What manner of creature are we talking about here?
109105TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_167Likely one similar to Omega.
110106TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_168How long have you been listening from the shadows, my friend?
111107TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_169Long enough. I am here to deliver the item Mikoto requested.
112108TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_170Cid! There was no need for you to deliver it personally. A moogle would have sufficed.
113109TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_171A moogle? And trust that he won't tear open the package and show it to some random adventurer? No, this was far too important.
114110TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_172If you two do not mind, the principal was about to tell us how to find the Orbonne Monastery.
115111TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_173Would that I could...
116112TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_174You don't know!? Then what have we been doing here?
117113TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_175At ease, Lady Mewrilah. The Durai Papers speak of a cataract situated on the River Zeirchele, several leagues southeast of Rabanastre. There supposedly lies the monastery.
118114TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_176Zeirchele is not a name you will find on any modern Dalmascan map. Rivers, however─especially ones as large as the Zeirchele is established to be─are rare in a nation more than half claimed by the sand. The river we seek can only be that which bisects Golmore on the Nagxian border.
119115TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_177And for that invaluable information, we owe thanks to our brothers moogle. Their travels have made them veritable authorities on Dalmascan geography.
120116TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_178Wait, but earlier you claimed you <Emphasis>didn't</Emphasis> know the monastery's whereabouts. I'm confused...
121117TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_179Its location is not what concerns me... But perhaps the moogles themselves should explain.
122118TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_180Why, certainly! That verdant valley of vines and vipers to where we must voyage next is home to the Viera─and therein lies our little problem. The one thing the Viera do not suffer is trespassers, not even lovable moogles, kupo!
123119TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_HURDY_000_181Our glamours kept us hidden long enough to see the jungle was teeming with ruins much like those we've discovered in Lesalia and Goug, but the Viera trackers eventually found us and took us before their elders. We barely escaped with our poms, kupo!
124120TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_LINAMEWRILAH_000_182So <Emphasis>that</Emphasis> is why we are still here talking instead of bound for the border.
125121TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_JENOMISLEXENTALE_000_183There are Viera who have spurned the strict code of their tribes, abandoning their people to come and live in the cities of Dalmasca. Finding and recruiting one to our cause might provide us with insight into how to reach the Orbonne Monastery ruins.
126122TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RAMZALEXENTALE_000_184Unfortunately, the nation's current turmoil has not made it easy to accomplish this task. We still require more time...
127123TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_185Before boarding the shuttle here I was stopped by a Bangaa on the docks. He asked me if I knew a <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight> and bid I deliver <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> a message.
128124TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_186I told him he was welcome to accompany me to the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis> so that he might deliver that message himself, but the man refused.
129125TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_187Mikoto. I saw this device crafted to your exact specifications, but cannot guarantee that it will function as intended, seeing as I had nary a subject to test it on.
130126TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_188Of course, Master Cid. If any trouble is met, then most likely it is my design that is to blame.
131127TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_CID_000_189Your confidence in my craftsmanship is flattering, but you sell yourself too short, my dear. Here's to your success. Good day!
132128TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_500_000You won't believe this, but since our <Emphasis>time</Emphasis> together in the clockwork city, Ramza and I have grown inseparable! Why, I'd consider him a closer companion now than even my good brother, Hurdy! (Just don't let Hurdy know that, kupo!)
133129TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_200I sense that you are interested in the package Cid delivered. I have every intention to apprise you of its contents, but first I believe we should speak of Alma's condition.
134130TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_201Do you not find her illness all too timely? Jenomis and Ramza would like to believe that her bouts of vertigo are naught but a result of a mind fatigued, but the answer is clear: it is the auracite that plagues her.
135131TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_202Alma recently confided in me that she would hear her father speaking with the Otius, well before even his first foray into Rabanastre. However, I do not think this entirely true.
136132TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_203Which is not to imply that Alma is trying to deceive us. Rather, I think she saw something that led her to believe her father was conversing with the auracite. Moreover, I suspect it was the <Emphasis>auracite itself</Emphasis> that granted her this vision.
137133TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_204You recall my hypothesis on distinct-frequency NRR–type harmonic vibrations and their tendency to promote aetherial amplification? Or when I mentioned that despite being in the principal's possession for an extended period, the Otius exhibited none of the imprinting present in the Duma? No?
138134TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_205The Otius has <Emphasis>never</Emphasis> resonated with Jenomis; it has always been his wife's pendant and its auracite shard─the Virgo─that fueled his passion for Ivalice. No, the Otius is bound to <Emphasis>Alma's</Emphasis> deepest desires...whatever those may be.
139135TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_206The only reasons I can fathom that Alma has not fallen victim to the auracite's grasp is that her desires are not as strong as those we have witnessed in Argath or Ba'Gamnan. That and the aetherial interference caused by other nearby shards.
140136TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_207I have explained all of this to Alma and recommended that she destroy the necklace, yet not only did she refuse, but she begged me to keep this revelation from her father.
141137TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_208And so I did the only thing I could: I devised a means with which I might impede, or at least lessen, the effects of the Otius.
142138TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MIKOTO_000_209This device, while still incomplete, will amplify the NRR wavelengths emitted by the Virgo. This should work to interfere with those emitted by the Otius, thereby shielding Alma from the brunt of their effect.

144140TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_500_010It <Emphasis>was</Emphasis> Bwagi and his companions! Perhaps they know of the Orbonne Monastery! Sky pirates are bound to have traveled the whole of Dalmasca on their many misdeeds.
145141TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_240Apologies, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, but I needed to speak with you...and you alone.
146142TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_241Oh don't mind me, kupo! I'll just be floating over here in perfect earshot.
147143TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_242Why you─! What makes you think I won't lay you low, right here, right now?
148144TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_243Because we're here to offer you a proposition, that's what! We need information on the Golmore Jungle, and thought a man as <Emphasis>well traveled</Emphasis> as you might be persuaded to provide some.
149145TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_244Golmore? You of all creatures should know that is Viera land. What are you offering, then?
150146TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_245Why, the opportunity to tell us what you know! Jenomis believes our next adventure lies beneath the jungle canopy, kupo.
151147TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_246<sigh> I should have expected as much.
152148TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_247Very well. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I came to ask if you would meet someone. Now it seems that someone may be able to assist Jenomis, as well. Seeing as you and the principal did right by us before, I do not see a reason why I cannot take both of you.
153149TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_500_020That was far easier than I thought it would be, kupo!
154150TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_280Let me know when you are ready to depart for Rabanastre. We will travel in our airship. The <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis> would draw too much unwanted attention.

157153TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_BWAGI_000_301Of course not! Not that it didn't cross our minds... But when faced with the decision of what to do next, we needed simply to remember the dying words of our leader. Gijuk, Rinok, and I decided to reenlist as Dalmascan fusiliers.
158154TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_302And the occupying Garleans actually said yes, kupo?
159155TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_RINOK_000_303Not...exactly. We're now with the resistance.
160156TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_GIJUK_000_304You no doubt heard of the uprising in Dalmasca that followed the Doman liberation...and how it was crushed under the iron heel of the IVth Legion.
161157TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_GIJUK_000_305The resistance leaders were captured, tortured, and publicly executed. Yet, much to the Empire's chagrin, the gruesome display only served to further rally the survivors.

179175TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_FRAN_000_343Those ruins lie deep within the Golmore Jungle─a place most sacred to my sisters. They would take great offense were you to defile it with your presence.
180176TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_FRAN_000_344What is more, Bwagi tells me you travel with Garleans, openly aiding those who would see our nation burn. How can we place our trust in one who would do such?

186182TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_MONTBLANC_000_360You misunderstand! Kind Jenomis does not approve of the emperor's warmongering! He wants to help Dalmasca and its impoverished masses, kupo!

196192TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_FRAN_000_369Your allies are in bed with the East Aldenard Trading Company, which continues its dealings with Garlemald even as you raise you sword against them, profiting from the Empire's rampant aggression. As targets of that aggression, I believe my people are entitled to a portion of those profits.
197193TEXT_STMBDI301_03187_FRAN_000_370Grant me these simple things, and I shall personally guide you safely to the ruins of Orbonne.
