40TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000010_MYSTERYVOICEAh, there you are. May I assume you've had your fill of rest?
51TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000020_MYSTERYVOICEThat is well. Now that we are all present, let us speak of our plan.
62TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000030_MYSTERYVOICEThus far, we have vanquished four Lightwardens, restoring night to much of Norvrandt.
73TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000040_MYSTERYVOICEOnly one remains─that of Kholusia. And with Ryne to guide us, I am certain we will find it.
84TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000050_ALISAIEWe're so close now. If we can just take care of this one last Warden, we'll rob the sin eaters of their final foothold, and drive them out of Norvrandt once and for all.
95TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000060_ALISAIEIt will be a new beginning for the First─a chance for the people to rebuild their world.
106TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000070_ALPHINAUDIn short, a prize worth fighting for.
117TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000080_URIANGERAnd in thus delivering the First from destruction, so too shall we unsow the seeds of the Eighth Umbral Calamity.
128TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000090_YSHTOLADo you hear? Your dreamed-of Rejoining is in jeopardy. Are you sure you're not tempted to intervene?
139TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000100_EMETSELCH(SIGH)
1410TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000110_EMETSELCHYou labor under the misapprehension that vanquishing the sin eaters is tantamount to saving the world. It is not.
1511TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000120_EMETSELCHIn truth, you only delay the inevitable, lengthening your fleeting lives by the smallest of margins.
1612TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000130_EMETSELCH'Twould be churlish of me to deny you this small concession, close as we've become. Foolish and misguided though you are, you are not without charm.
1713TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000140_EMETSELCHEach and every one of you is possessed of a noble heart. When the weak want for succor, you do not hesitate to provide it.
1814TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000150_EMETSELCHAlas, your nobility is shortsighted. You think only of the problem in front of your nose.
1915TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000160_EMETSELCHA limitation of your ephemeral existence.
2016TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000170_ALPHINAUDOur lives may seem short and insignificant to the likes of you. But one does not need to be an eternal being to achieve lasting change.
2117TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000180_EMETSELCHAh, if I may stop you there─I do not claim that we Ascians are <Emphasis>special</Emphasis>. That is another misconception.
2218TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000190_EMETSELCHIn the beginning, everyone─<Emphasis>everyone</Emphasis> lived nigh for eternity. Such was the natural order of things. But like so much else, this was taken from you.
2319TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000200_EMETSELCHYou won't object if I borrow your plaything.
2420TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000210_EMETSELCHIn the distant past, when the world was one and whole, a great calamity threatened all life.
2521TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000220_EMETSELCHIt began without warning. The very laws of the star were warped and broken, and chaos swiftly spread throughout the land.
2622TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000230_EMETSELCHFaced with annihilation, we sought to imbue the star with its own will. Thus was Zodiark born, and by His power was order restored.
2723TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000240_EMETSELCHEre long, however, thankless fools began to fear that Zodiark's might was too great. And so they conjured another to keep Him in check─your own dear Hydaelyn.
2824TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000250_YSHTOLAAnd the two beings waged war until, with a single, devastating blow, Hydaelyn unmade Zodiark, scattering his being across space and time. So you told us in the Qitana Ravel.
2925TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000260_EMETSELCHYes, yes... And <Emphasis>there</Emphasis> began our woes─with Hydaelyn's blow, and all that it wrought.
3026TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000270_EMETSELCHAs a counterbalance to Zodiark, Hydaelyn was created with the power to enervate Her foe.
3127TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000280_EMETSELCHThis singular ability strikes not at such banal things as flesh, but <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis> that defines the target, diluting its existence.
3228TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000290_EMETSELCHFor example, were She to strike you...
3329TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000300_EMETSELCHTwo individuals, identical in appearance, yet reduced in all respects. Strength, intelligence, the soul itself─all is halved.
3430TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000310_EMETSELCHDo you see? This selfsame fate befell not only Zodiark, but the very star.
3531TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000320_EMETSELCHOnly three were fortunate enough to escape the sundering─me being one of them.
3632TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000330_EMETSELCHWhen I beheld the shattered remnants of our home, I knew deepest despair.
3733TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000340_EMETSELCHThe inhabitants of these fourteen fragments were feeble, frail, and foolish. Oblivious to their imperfection, ignorant of their past.
3834TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000350_EMETSELCHMalformed creatures thrashing blindly about. Pitiful. Disturbing. Depressing.
3935TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000360_EMETSELCHSo we took it upon ourselves to rejoin the worlds. But in our eagerness─and, I confess, our ignorance─we erred, and made a useless void of the Thirteenth.
4036TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000370_EMETSELCHIt was only afterwards that we discovered a connection 'twixt Source and shard─a flow of energy that maintains elemental balance. And thus did we arrive at our time-honored modus operandi.
4137TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000380_YSHTOLAFrom a purely Ascian standpoint, it could be said that what you seek to do is only logical.
4238TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000390_YSHTOLABut that would be to ignore the immeasurable destruction wrought with each Rejoining. You have murdered millions. And this we cannot condone.
4339TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000400_EMETSELCHBy your fragmented existence, you continue to give rise to tragedies far crueler than any calamity.
4440TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000410_EMETSELCHBut yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point─I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you.
4541TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000420_EMETSELCHOh, don't look at me like that. You for whom I have only the highest expectations.
4642TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000430_EMETSELCHA vaunted hero of the Source, seven times rejoined.
4743TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000440_EMETSELCHLong have I awaited one who might brave a path of lesser tragedy. A resilient soul able to endure the necessary pain. I dare to hope that my wait is over.
4844TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000450_EMETSELCHSo, finish your task and slay the Lightwarden. Make proof of your usefulness. And then we may speak again.
4945TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000460_LYNAForgive me, my lord, but this could not wait.
5046TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000470_MYSTERYVOICESpeak freely, Captain.
5147TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000480_LYNAOur informant in Kholusia sends word of unusual activity in Eulmore.
5248TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000490_LYNAIt appears their forces are entrenching themselves at key points throughout the city. Making ready for an attack, by all indications.
5349TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000500_MYSTERYVOICEAn intriguing use of resources. I rather doubt Lord Vauthry is concerned for the safety of his citizens...
5450TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000510_ALISAIEYou think he's harboring the Lightwarden <Emphasis>inside</Emphasis> the city walls? Even if he does have some means of controlling the sin eaters, wouldn't that be a little risky?
5551TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000520_THANCREDRisky or not, if there is even a chance the Warden is hiding there, we will need to act fast. The longer we wait, the better prepared the Eulmorans will be.
5652TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000530_MYSTERYVOICEAgreed. See to your preparations then, and make for Kholusia.
5753TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000540_MYSTERYVOICEGods willing, this hunt will be the last. Let us see it through to the end.
5854TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000550_ALPHINAUDWe should begin by assembling in Wright. There we may assess the situation in Eulmore, and decide how best to proceed.
5955TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000560_URIANGERStrange. Passing strange...
6056TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000570_URIANGERBy their behavior, we may safely assume that they are under Vauthry's mind control.
6157TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000580_URIANGERYet the extent of the effect seemeth to vary dramatically between subjects.
6258TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000590_URIANGER'Tis far too pronounced to be attributed simply to the vagaries of innate magical resistance.
6359TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000600_ALPHINAUDCuriouser and curiouser...
6460TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000610_ALPHINAUDWe met with no trouble en route. My thanks for securing the way.
6561TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000620_ALPHINAUDBut given the state of the townsfolk, I see we were never in any danger of being recognized.
6662TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000630_THANCREDWhat can you tell us from here?
6763TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000640_RYNEI sense a powerful eater...in the uppermost reaches of the city...
6864TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000650_RYNEBut there's something different about it. Its Light is...impure.
6965TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000660_RYNEWe need to get closer.
7066TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000670_KAISHIRR(-???-)Ohhh! So <Emphasis>that one's</Emphasis> Alphinaud! ...Unless you're triplets?
7167TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000680_ALPHINAUDKai-Shirr! What are you doing here?
7268TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000690_ALISAIEWhile I was scouting the area, I noticed a suspicious figure skulking about.
7369TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000700_ALISAIESo I accosted him─only to have him call me “Alphinaud.” I thought it best to bring him along.
7470TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000710_KAISHIRRYou see...that informant who's been feeding secrets to the Crystarium...it's me.
7571TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000720_KAISHIRRSee, after you saved my life in Eulmore, I thought about going somewhere far away. But I couldn't just leave, not without paying you back.
7672TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000730_KAISHIRRSo I decided to stay here─keep an eye on things. And whenever I spotted something strange, I shared it with your friends.
7773TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000740_ALPHINAUDThat took no small amount of courage. Well done.
7874TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000750_THANCREDI assume you saw what happened here.
7975TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000760_KAISHIRRRight, so, an airship flew in a bit ago, and not long after, Vauthry starts ranting and raving. You could hear him from all the way out here!
8076TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000770_KAISHIRRGeezer was doing his nut! Shouting and screaming like someone had nicked his pie!
8177TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000780_URIANGER'Tis like the airship bore the soldiers sent to thwart our efforts in Amh Araeng.
8278TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000790_KAISHIRRSo eventually the yelling dies down...and then this hot, sticky wind comes blowing through.
8379TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000800_KAISHIRRNow that's when everyone went funny. Everyone but me. Well, me and a couple of newcomers, though even they started mumbling about Vauthry after a while. Not as bad as the rest, mind you.
8480TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000810_URIANGERNewcomers...
8581TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000820_YSHTOLAThere's something I need Ryne to see.
8682TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000830_YSHTOLAThis was among the townsfolk's food stores.
8783TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000840_KAISHIRROh, that's just meol. Eulmore doles the stuff out.
8884TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000850_RYNENo! It...it couldn't be...
8985TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000860_RYNEI─ I know what it is.
9086TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000870_RYNEIt's sin eater. Meol is made out of sin eater.
9187TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000880_YSHTOLASo it is.
9288TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000890_YSHTOLAIn limited quantities, it may have little effect on an average individual.
9389TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000900_YSHTOLAYet if one were to consume it regularly, over a period of several years, I suspect it would do far, far more than merely nourish the body...
9490TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000910_URIANGERThat Vauthry wieldeth power over sin eaters is known. Could it be that those who partake of their flesh do thereby render themselves susceptible to his influence?
9591TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000920_URIANGER'Twould serve to explain why the town's newer arrivals succumbed less quickly than those raised on a diet of meol.
9692TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000930_ALISAIEHe's been rounding up sin eaters and feeding them to people!? Altering them mouthful by mouthful─all to stop them answering back!?
9793TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000940_ALISAIEThere are desperate souls out there <Emphasis>killing</Emphasis> themselves to escape turning! This is unforgivable! An atrocity!
9894TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000950_ALPHINAUDThese sin eaters... What if they are not simply “rounded up”?
9995TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000960_ALPHINAUDDo you remember what we were told when first we came to the city?
10096TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000970_ALPHINAUD"Many enter, but none leave...“
10197TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000980_ALPHINAUDLet us put an end to it. To this “paradise” built upon the bones of the poor.
10298TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000990_ALPHINAUDVauthry's deeds are beyond justification. Beyond forgiveness. Evil.
10399TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001000_THANCREDIt's highly probable that the Lightwarden is waiting for us somewhere in there, and I'm all for going after it.
104100TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001010_THANCREDBut our enemies know our faces. They know that we are coming. And they will not let us through without a fight. Like it or not, the time for stealth is passed.
105101TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001020_THANCREDNow, my friend. If you would be so good as to lead the charge.
106102TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001030_VAUTHRYUgh... I can feel it... A dark presence in my domain!
107103TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001040_VAUTHRYAh! It's them! The villains who would sow chaos in my perfect paradise!
108104TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001050_VAUTHRYKeep them away from me! I command you, keep them awaaaaaay!
109105TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001060_PUPPETMANLong live...Lord Vauthry...
110106TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001070_THANCREDHe would use his own people as shields.
111107TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001080_ALPHINAUDThis area is older than Gatetown. There are bound to be far more civilians under Vauthry's control.
112108TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001090_ALPHINAUDBut they do not act of their own free will, and we must not harm them.
113109TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001100_ALISAIEAs if we ever would.
114110TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001110_ALISAIEPress on with Alphinaud. We'll hold off the civilians and join you as soon as we can.
115111TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001120_RANJITYou will find my master in his chamber...
116112TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001130_RANJITBut only should you kill me this day─and you will not.
117113TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
118114TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhy do you go so far?
119115TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICEYou're one of his puppets too.
120116TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001140_RANJITYou may think me under his spell, but I uphold Lord Vauthry's ideals of my own volition.
121117TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001150_RANJITMan is an inherently flawed creature. In his vain pursuit of righteousness, he but sows the seeds of future conflict.
122118TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001160_RANJITThus have I chosen to place my hopes upon he who has transcended men. Upon he who is unbound by the vagaries of conscience.
123119TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001170_RANJITBut enough talk. I am a soldier, and you are my enemy.
124120TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001180_RANJITCome! Let us settle this once and for all!
125121TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001190_ALPHINAUDLord Vauthry! Your reign of tyranny is at an end.
126122TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001200_ALPHINAUDFor too long, you have preyed upon the desperation of the poor. Now you will answer for the suffering you have caused!
127123TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001210_ALPHINAUDAnd if you harbor even a shred of remorse, I beseech you to use your powers to redress the balance. For the future of all in Norvrandt.
128124TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001220_RYNENo... It can't be. This is wrong. It's <Emphasis>wrong</Emphasis>!
129125TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001230_RYNEThe Warden─it's not just a sin eater. It's a man!
130126TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001240_VAUTHRYRemorse? For the future of all? What nonsense is this?
131127TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001250_VAUTHRYThere is no justice but mine. No future but mine. No will but mine.
132128TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001260_VAUTHRYIt is preordained. I was born to deliver this wretched world.
133129TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001270_VAUTHRYMe? Unseated? No, no, no, no, no...
134130TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001280_VAUTHRYIt's impossible. Inconceivable! <Emphasis>Absurd</Emphasis>! I am a great and wise king. Greatest and wisest! I reign from on high!
135131TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001290_VAUTHRYI will not be brought low by maggots like you!

146142TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001370_ALPHINAUDThat is Mt. Gulg, the highest peak in Kholusia. It lies on the other side of a sheer cliff, and much as I wish it were otherwise, it is beyond our reach for now.
147143TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001380_ALPHINAUDBut even if it weren't─there are people here who need our help.

154150TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001410_ALPHINAUDThank you.
155151TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001420_RYNEI don't know if it will work, but if Vauthry's hold over the people is rooted in Light, I might be able to reverse its effects.
156152TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001430_RYNEWill you let me try?
157153TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001440_ALPHINAUDOf course. We'd be grateful for any help you can provide.
158154TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001450_ALISAIEWell then, if it's decided, let's all get to work.
159155TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001460_RYNEYou're going to be all right.
160156TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001470_ALISAIEI think that's the last of them.
