40TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000010_MERLWYBEre we begin, I would like to offer my gratitude to Masters Thancred and Urianger. 'Tis no small feat to infiltrate the imperial capital and live to tell the tale, much less in times of civil war. Thanks to them, we may plot our course in full knowledge of how the winds blow in Garlemald.
51TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000020_URIANGERFull glad are we to have been of service. But verily, such dangers as we did encounter pale into insignificance next to those faced by our comrades. An Ascian armed with the might of Bahamut, bent on bringing about the Final Days...
62TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000030_RAUBAHNTheatrics. He sought only to make a show of the power at the Telophoroi's disposal.
73TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000040_RAUBAHNBut since then, we have seen no sign of this “Fandaniel,” or his wyrm. And while we've done what we can to bolster our defenses, there's no telling where he might strike next.
84TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000050_KANESENNAWhenever and wherever it may be, we must use the intervening time to learn more of our enemy.
95TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000060_KANESENNA'Twas with this in mind that we dispatched scouts to investigate the towers...
106TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000070_LYSEOur advance party took longer than expected to return...and when they did, they tried to kill us.
117TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000080_LYSELuckily, I'd seen that sort of thing before, and we were able to restrain them before they did any harm. Then it was just a matter of letting the porxies do their work.
128TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000090_ALISAIEAre you saying they were tempered?
139TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000100_LYSEOnce they'd come back to their senses, they told us everything they could. It seems that just as they were getting close to the tower, they heard an earsplitting roar. And that was the last thing they remembered.
1410TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000110_LYSEBut what worries me most is what they were saying right before they attacked.
1511TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000120_LYSE“Glory be to Garlemald.”
1612TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000130_URIANGERThe tempered have heretofore ever been thralls to primal entities. Yet these hapless souls were compelled to accept a <Emphasis>nation</Emphasis> as the object of their devotion. This calleth into question all that we know of the condition.
1713TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000140_AYMERICWould that the unsettling news ended there. Alas, there is more. Following the earlier reports of missing Amalj'aa, we have learned that other beast tribes have suffered similar losses.
1814TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000150_AYMERICAnd we now have reason to believe that the abductions are connected to the appearance of the towers.
1915TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000160_AYMERICOur scouts sighted black-garbed figures leading shackled Ixal in the direction of the tower in Dravania.
2016TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000170_AYMERICThe Temple Knights were able to intercept them before they could reach their destination, liberating the Ixal and apprehending their captors─each of whom was found to be equipped with Garlean arms and armor.
2117TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000180_GRAHATIASo the Empire is the common thread.
2218TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000190_NANAMOULNAMOWith the support of Zenos, it seems likely that Fandaniel has rallied a faction of the splintered Garlean army to the banner of the Telophoroi.

2420TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000210_RAUBAHNThe plan had been to march on Garlemald from the east and west in order to force a peace treaty, but the situation has changed. Dealing with the threat of the towers must come first.
2521TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000220_RAUBAHNGiven the nature of the enemy, and the proven risk of tempering, I could think of few suitable candidates to aid in this task. But I am confident in my choice.

2723TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000240_RAUBAHNResistant to primal influence as they are, they can investigate the towers without fear of being turned.
2824TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000250_ARENVALDWe're glad to put our gifts to use, Commander.
2925TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000260_RAUBAHNGifted or not, going behind enemy lines remains a perilous undertaking. But we must know more if we're to strike back at our foe. I'm counting on you.
3026TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000270_ARENVALDIf it would give us the upper hand, I'd do it a hundred times over. We won't let you down.
3127TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000280_RAUBAHNThat concludes the briefing. You two─make ready and join your escort.
3228TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000290_ALPHINAUDAre you certain about this, Arenvald?

3430TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000310_ARENVALDSo you know, I've already gone through all the formalities at the Rising Stones. Made sure to inform J'moldva and V'mah at Rhalgr's Reach as well.
3531TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000320_ALPHINAUDArenvald, I admire your enthusiasm...but this is far more dangerous than anything you have done before.
3632TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000330_ARENVALDI know the risks. And I also know what's in store if we don't stop Fandaniel from carrying out his plan.
3733TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000340_ARENVALDWith this power of mine, I can make a difference. If I stood idly by, I would regret it for the rest of my life.
3834TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000350_ALPHINAUDAnd you, Fordola? Is this what you want?
3935TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000360_FORDOLAWhat're you asking me for? It's not like I have any say in the matter.
4036TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000370_ARENVALDDon't pretend. We both know Commander Aldynn gave you a chance to refuse. And you didn't.

4238TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000390_FORDOLASo the Empire's finished, is it? That's what they're all saying. That the great and glorious Garlemald slit its own throat.
4339TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000400_FORDOLAAnd now, from out of its twitching carcass crawls the Telophoroi, with bloody <Emphasis>Zenos</Emphasis> at its head.

4541TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000420_ALPHINAUDVery well. If your hearts are set on this, I shall not stand in your way.
4642TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000430_THANCREDIf you've finished with your touching display of camaraderie, I have a question: which tower are you planning to investigate, exactly?
4743TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000440_ARENVALDWell, the one in Gyr Abania's said to be tightly guarded. It's patrol after patrol out there, apparently. We'd be spotted before we got anywhere near it.
4844TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000450_ARENVALDWhich is why we've set our sights on the one in Paglth'an, instead. There shouldn't be anything like as many imperials to worry about down there.
4945TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000460_THANCREDEven so, I doubt the local Amalj'aa will look kindly on it if they catch you sneaking around in their territory.
5046TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000470_ARENVALDFordola and I had a chance to learn the lie of the land in our previous forays there. We might still find trouble, but at least we won't lose our way.
5147TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000480_ARENVALDWell, we'd best not keep them waiting any longer.
5248TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000490_ALPHINAUDMayhap when all of this is over, we could take another trip to Loch Seld. I would have you know I've become a rather capable swimmer since our last visit.
5349TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000500_ARENVALDHa! I'll believe that when I see it! Though, to be fair, getting into deep water does seem to be a Scion's lot in life... Take care, eh?
5450TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000510_ARENVALDIt means a lot, you know─you coming with me.
5551TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000520_FORDOLAI still owe you for saving my skin, don't I? Can't return the favor if I'm not there.
5652TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000530_ARENVALDI daresay you'll get your chance before long. That Fandaniel sounds like a tricky customer. Too much for the likes of me, anyway.
5753TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000540_ARENVALDBut we both know I'd be just another soldier if it weren't for my gift. And I need to be a damn sight more than that, given what's coming.
5854TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000550_ARENVALDI realize I can't hold a candle to a hero like the Warrior of Light─or Alphinaud, for that matter. He might look like he's twelve, but he's seen more action than most people see in a lifetime.
5955TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000560_ARENVALDNo, the fact is, I'm nothing like them, and maybe I never will be, but I'll be damned if I don't try.
6056TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000570_ARENVALDThey're counting on me. On us. So let's give it our all.
6157TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000580_ALPHINAUDHe does not want for conviction, that much is certain. So let us have faith in him. Him and Fordola both.
6258TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000590_ALPHINAUDWhile they see to the towers, I would attend to another task: chasing down this “Lunar” Bahamut.

6460TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000610_TATARU(-Tataru-)And...I'm sorry to say he went running off again the moment we told him about Bahamut.
6561TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000620_TATARU(-Tataru-)But he did mutter something about heading to Ishgard, so if you're quick, you might still be able to catch him!
6662TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000630_ALPHINAUDEven if we set out this instant, he may already have left by the time we arrive. Have her send the <Emphasis>Bonanza</Emphasis> to Ishgard. It may prove useful should we need to give chase.
6763TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000640_TATARU(-Tataru-)Gladly! I'll see to it as soon as Krile and I get back to the Rising Stones. Good luck!
6864TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000650_THANCREDWhile you go off on your dragoon hunt, Urianger and I will return to headquarters. We have much to tell the others.

7167TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000670_GRAHATIASpeaking of which, it does seem awfully quiet. If the erstwhile Azure Dragoon had returned to Ishgard, would it not be a source of general excitement?
7268TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000680_ESTINIENFirst the Scions' coinkeeper, and now you. I'm beginning to think these meetings are more than mere coincidence.
7369TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000690_ESTINIENNot that I'm complaining. It's been too long.
7470TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000700_ALISAIE“Too long”?

8783TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_000830_ALPHINAUDNo, no, it's quite understandable. That was hardly the first time we've been confused for one another. Nor, I suspect, will it be the last.

210206TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_001980_THANCREDFirst Bahamut, now Ifrit. Or “Lunar Ifrit,” as Fandaniel would doubtless have it.
211207TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_001990_URIANGER'Tis now all but certain that the towers were conceived to facilitate the summoning of primals by those imprisoned within.
212208TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002000_URIANGERLess certain is the means by which the Telophoroi constrain the wills of said entities to enact <Emphasis>their</Emphasis> designs in defiance of the pleas of their victims.
213209TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002010_YSHTOLAMayhap they do not. If mere proximity to the towers is enough to make loyal servants of the Empire's mortal enemies, it stands to reason that the same is true for those held captive.
214210TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002020_YSHTOLAThey invoke their gods for the good of Garlemald, and in their disturbed state of mind summon a primal whose form reflects their own alteration.
215211TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002030_THANCREDIt all begins to make sense. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the towers bear a striking resemblance to a much larger structure which Urianger and I observed from afar during our visit to the imperial capital.
216212TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002040_THANCREDAssuming it too is capable of tempering those in its immediate vicinity, it would go some way to explain the swiftness with which the Telophoroi managed to rally so many imperials to their cause.
217213TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002050_NANAMOULNAMOWhile the situation in Garlemald is indeed troubling, I fear we have more immediate concerns.
218214TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002060_NANAMOULNAMOIfrit was not the only primal summoned. At approximately the same time, observers at several other towers bore witness to the emergence of further such entities.
219215TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002070_NANAMOULNAMOFor a blessing, none appear to wield aught approaching the destructive power of Bahamut, and the Grand Companies are moving to deal with the threat even as we speak.

226222TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002110_NANAMOULNAMOOf course, this was only made possible by the feats of heroism performed at Paglth'an. Moreover, we shall not allow the sacrifices of those fallen in battle to have been made in vain. As hope leads to victory, shall victory lead to a new dawn for Eorzea.

229225TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002140_KRILEWelcome back. I expect you must all be exhausted. Ere you take your rest, however, I would beg a moment of your time.
230226TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002150_KRILEThanks to Arenvald's selfless efforts, we may now be confident that we understand the function of the towers. But many questions remain regarding the reason for the summonings and what lurks behind the looming edifice in Garlemald.
231227TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002160_KRILEUntil such questions are answered, we will struggle to devise an effective strategy for thwarting the Telophoroi's stated aim: nothing less than the destruction of this star. And so, given the gravity of the situation...I move that we petition the aid of Sharlayan.
232228TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002170_URIANGER'Tis possible the ancient knowledge preserved within their archives may hide a clue to our enemy's methods. But given Sharlayan's established policy of nonintervention, our former colleagues are not like to aid us in its discovery.
233229TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002180_KRILEOh, I well remember what they're like. The Forum's barefaced refusal to assist you in the days prior to the Calamity must rank as Sharlayan's most shameful act since the exodus.
234230TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002190_KRILEBut were the Final Days to be reenacted, it would spell doom for us all. Surely even they cannot turn a blind eye to that.

237233TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002220_KRILEOne can but hope. If truth be told, our organization has been a shadow of its former self ever since the disappearance of the Isle of Val─but the name does still retain some degree of prestige. I only pray it will be enough.
238234TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002230_KRILEIf there are no objections, I shall depart for Sharlayan at once. But before I do, I should also mention the other matter to which I would devote some time during my stay.
239235TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002240_KRILEAfter hearing what transpired in the First, I began to question the true nature of Hydaelyn's blessing. A topic I have discussed at some length with Y'shtola...

246242TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002270_YSHTOLAWhen Elidibus sought to make Warriors of Light? That was the voice which calls constantly to all who might hear it. I spoke of <Emphasis>direct</Emphasis> communication, when Hydaelyn communed solely with you. A far rarer occurrence.
247243TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002280_YSHTOLAIs the question truly so vexing? Perhaps you fear I will chastise you for giving the wrong answer? Or was it so long ago that you simply can't remember...
248244TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002290_KRILEHistory shows us that Hydaelyn is able to awaken the Echo in Her chosen, convey Her will directly, and grant the blessing of Light.
249245TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002300_KRILETo our knowledge, however, She has not sought to intervene in man's affairs for some considerable time.
250246TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002310_URIANGERMight not the explanation for that lie with Her choice of champion? Mayhap She is content to trust in <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> judgment.
251247TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002320_YSHTOLAMayhap She is. But following my initial discussion with Krile, I made inquiries of my own, and as far as I am able to tell, Hydaelyn has not made Her will known to anyone.
252248TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002330_THANCREDDuring my time in the First, the Oracle of Light spoke to me through Ryne. But that was not the will of Hydaelyn. It was Minfilia herself.
253249TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002340_YSHTOLAIndeed. And while she and Hydaelyn were inextricably linked, Minfilia yet acted of her own volition. A messenger, yes, but one who spoke with her own voice.
254250TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002350_KRILEI wonder, could Hydaelyn's silence suggest the presence of some disruptive force, perhaps? Some obstacle to communication? While I share Urianger's high opinion of your conduct, I see no reason why She would deny you Her guidance altogether.
255251TEXT_VOICEMAN_05500_002360_KRILEThen again, who am I to say? The fact is, we simply don't know. But if the explanation is to be found anywhere, I can think of worse places to look than the archives of Sharlayan─and their research on the aetherial sea in particular.
