21TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000020_EMETSELCHLeaving naught in their wake but blood and ash.
32TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000030_EMETSELCHSun scorches earth and boils seas...
43TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000040_EMETSELCHAnd our sins ascend unto the heavens─
54TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000050_EMETSELCHThree dooms to unmake all we were.
65TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000060_ALISAIEThe sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us.
76TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000070_AWAHEEN...My friends. I trust you have heard the news.
87TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000080_ALPHINAUDWe have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?
98TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000090_AWAHEENLast night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out.
109TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000100_AWAHEENAloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts─the likes of which we had never seen─came forth in fury and rage.
1110TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000110_AWAHEEN...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact.
1211TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000120_AWAHEENThe people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends.
1312TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000130_AWAHEENThough the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature─the largest and most dreadful of the lot─wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city.
1413TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000140_AWAHEENThough they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”
1514TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000150_AWAHEENThe large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat.
1615TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000160_ESTINIENAnd what of Vrtra?
1716TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000170_AWAHEENVrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet...
1817TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000180_AWAHEENHe knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people.
1918TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000190_AWAHEENI pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action.
2019TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000200_ALPHINAUD...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat.
2120TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000210_AWAHEENYou would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude.
2221TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000220_AWAHEENOur regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad.
2322TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000230_AWAHEENThey will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt.
2423TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000240_AWAHEENI leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart.
2524TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000250_ALISAIEWe're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go.
2625TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000260_FAKEGODBEASTGrrraaaoooooohhhhhh!

2928TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000290_YSHTOLAAs I feared...
3029TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000300_ALPHINAUDWhat is it?
3130TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000310_YSHTOLAThe beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?
3231TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000320_THANCREDIndeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?
3332TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000330_YSHTOLAI saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well...
3433TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000340_YSHTOLAThere is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness...
3534TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000350_ALPHINAUDEmptiness? But that would mean...
3635TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000360_YSHTOLARecall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether─a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence─that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying...
3736TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000370_YSHTOLAThis is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud...
3837TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000380_YSHTOLAUntil, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains...
3938TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000390_ALISAIEBut the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!
4039TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000400_YSHTOLA...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue.
4140TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000410_ALISAIEGods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?
4241TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000420_YSHTOLANot by any means known to me.
4342TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000430_YSHTOLA...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save.
4443TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000440_GRAHATIAThey return not even to the aetherial sea...
4544TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000450_VRITRAThe beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable...
4645TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000460_VRITRAEven deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate.
4746TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000470_VRITRAOnce proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!
4847TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000480_AWAHEENVrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe.
4948TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000490_ESTINIENYou put your secret at risk.
5049TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000500_AWAHEENThose closest to me already know the truth─a truth I must now share with one and all.
5150TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000510_AWAHEEN...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair.
5251TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000520_AWAHEENMore than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!
5352TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000530_VRITRAWhat madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself.
5453TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000540_VRITRAWere we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos.
5554TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000550_VRITRANay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone.
5655TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000560_VRITRAI ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may.
5756TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000570_VRITRAI know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz–at–Han will not survive.
5857TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000580_ESTINIEN...Take me with you.
5958TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000590_ESTINIENI am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you.
6059TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000600_VRITRAWere my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side.
6160TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000610_THANCREDEstinien─here.
6261TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000620_THANCREDIt's the last thing you ever wanted─a linkpearl.
6362TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000630_THANCREDWe'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely─which I know you loathe.
6463TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000640_ESTINIEN
6564TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000650_ESTINIENYou heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all.
6665TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000660_VRITRAThen I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall.
6766TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000670_ESTINIENFair enough. Now─shall we?
6867TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000680_AWAHEENI fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again...
6968TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000690_ALPHINAUDI would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come.
7069TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000700_AWAHEENThen once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action.
7170TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000710_YSHTOLAThere you are. You've spoken with the survivors?
7271TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000720_GRAHATIAIndeed. We thought to share what we have gleaned, that we might together gain a greater understanding of present circumstances.
7372TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000730_ALPHINAUDFortuitous timing. Alisaie and I completed our own investigations not long ago.
7473TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000740_YSHTOLAThen we should take a moment to compare notes. Shall we begin with the two of you?
7574TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000750_ALPHINAUD...So the merchant Khalzahl was gravely concerned about his business in the days preceding his untimely end.
7675TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000760_ALISAIEThe tales we heard were much the same. The first victims to be changed into blasphemies were all overcome with anguish of one manner or another.
7776TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000770_ALISAIEThen those who saw their loved ones stolen before their eyes succumbed to a similar panic, setting in motion a chain of transformations.
7877TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000780_ALPHINAUDFear, unease, despair...these negative feelings serve as a catalyst.
7978TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000790_YSHTOLAIf so, then it is not unlike the calamity that befell the ancients.
8079TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000800_YSHTOLAWith their creation magicks they unwittingly gave form to untold horrors.
8180TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000810_YSHTOLAHad they simply lost control, surely it would have manifested in many forms─not all of them monstrous.
8281TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000820_YSHTOLAYet somehow this phenomenon is triggered solely by the darkness in their hearts. A common thread with what we now witness.
8382TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000830_ALPHINAUD...Common, but not identical. While the beasts the ancients faced were forged with magic alone, those of today are born of sentient beings.
8483TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000840_ALPHINAUDWhy remains to be seen, but there is one fundamental difference between us and our predecessors: our souls are sundered, whereas theirs were not.
8584TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000850_ALPHINAUDPerhaps that single variable makes all the difference.
8685TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000860_GRAHATIAIf I may...there was another detail that troubled me.
8786TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000870_GRAHATIAWe have it on good authority that Khalzahl's transformation took place before the skies began to burn.
8887TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000880_ALISAIEWhat!? If that's true, then the situation's more dire than we realized.
8988TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000890_ALISAIEIt means even if there's no ominous sign presaging the Final Days, anyone─anywhere─has the potential to become a beast.
9089TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000900_ALISAIEEven in lands we thought safe. Even as we speak...
9190TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000910_HANNISHMANALook, it's the satrap!
9291TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000920_HANNISHBOYAThe satrap!
9392TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000930_HANNISHWOMANAThank the heavens...
9493TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000940_AWAHEENMy countrymen. I am relieved and heartened to see you strong and safe.
9594TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000950_AWAHEENWhile the danger has not yet passed─far from it─allow me to assure you that the beasts that raged within the city walls have been exterminated to the last.
9695TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000960_AWAHEENOutside this sanctuary, the brave men and women of the Radiant Host and our dragon ally continue to battle our unholy foes.
9796TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000970_AWAHEENI pray these tidings put your minds at ease, and help you calm your hearts. Have faith that we shall soon conquer this terrible trial.
9897TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000980_HANNISHOLDWOMANAYour Excellency...is there any word from Palaka's Stand?

107106TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001070_MATSYAWhen the skies turned red, I set off for Palaka's Stand, fearing for the safety of a friend.
108107TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001080_MATSYABut as I drew near the village, I saw dreadful beasts all about.

153152TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001490_ESTINIENOf small solace is that we now know what triggers the transformation. As my companions tell it...
154153TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001500_VRITRASo it is the very fear and despair in their hearts which inflict this abhorrent punishment upon them...
155154TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001510_VRITRA...A nightmare from which my children will never awake. O capricious and cruel fate─they are undeserving of such condemnation...

157156TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001530_ESTINIENRadz-at-Han is leaderless. Before he passed, Ahewann sought to reveal the truth to his people. Honor his wishes.

162161TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001580_ESTINIENOnly in death were Hraesvelgr and Shiva united. Indeed, whenever man and dragon have come together, death has ever been the inevitable result.
163162TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001590_ESTINIEN'Twas our fear of your kind that sparked a nigh-endless war.

165164TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001610_ESTINIENAnd in turn I took my revenge on his brood. Blood for blood; pain for pain. I thought nothing of theirs─only of mine.
166165TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001620_ESTINIENAnd yet...were the chasm between us too vast and too deep, Hraesvelgr would not have borne Ysayle to battle and our rescue.
167166TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001630_ESTINIENHe would have never entrusted a mortal champion with one of his eyes, and the Dragonsong War would still rage on.
168167TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001640_ESTINIENAnd I would still wage a never-ending war of violence and vengeance, the future of our star be damned.
169168TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001650_ESTINIENI cannot speak for Ahewann's greater goals. Yet I know that he served you─served your people─long and true.

341340TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003330_MIHLEELHere's your order, friend.
342341TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003340_MIHLEELMay you find comfort in these dark times.
343342TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003350_ALISAIEWhere do we go from here?
344343TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003360_ALISAIEIf there's one thing we've learned, fighting blindly and simply reacting to what comes will accomplish nothing.
345344TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003370_ALISAIEWe must find a solution that addresses the fundamental cause. Before our strength is exhausted. Before this crisis spirals out of control!
346345TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003380_ALISAIEIs there something...anything we've overlooked?
347346TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003390_YSHTOLAIf there is an answer, Hydaelyn Herself will have it. 'Twas She who bound Zodiark and forestalled the Final Days.
348347TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003400_YSHTOLAAlas, we have heard naught from Her since the Tower of Babil. Whether She cannot or will not speak, I can only speculate...
349348TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003410_YSHTOLAEven the flower She gave us is no more...
350349TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003420_WATCHEROFMOON**In our time, we called it “Elpis”... You would do well to remember the name.
351350TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003430_YSHTOLASo advised the watcher...but what could be the significance of that name? It is entirely unfamiliar to me.
352351TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003440_ALPHINAUDTo me as well. It meant something to the ancients, though. “In *our* time...”
353352TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003450_YSHTOLAMost surely. Yet I do not recall a single mention of it in the records of Anyder.
354353TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003460_ALISAIEAnother dead end, and quite literally. It's not as if there are any ancients living we could go and ask...
355354TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003470_GRAHATIANot alive as such...but not quite dead...

359358TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003510_GRAHATIAHowever, if part of it lingers...we might be able to speak with him there.
360359TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003520_GRAHATIAI─no, we can no longer make that journey. But you, my friend, still can.
361360TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
362361TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICEIt's worth a try.
363362TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICEIt would be an opportunity to look in on the others as well.
364363TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICEIf there is truly no other way...
365364TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003530_GRAHATIAYes, we can but act and hope for the best!
366365TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003540_GRAHATIAThank you, my friend. That would mean much to me.
367366TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003550_GRAHATIAI understand your trepidation, but there is merit in making the journey regardless. You could see with your own eyes whether the First, too, faces its Final Days.
368367TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003560_THANCREDIf nothing else, should we learn the First is safe, we'll have that much more reason to keep fighting the good fight.
369368TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003570_THANCREDThat said...the odds are not in our favor, to say the least.
370369TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003580_THANCREDWhich is why we're fortunate to have Urianger up there on the moon, working hard to make all the necessary preparations for our departure, should it come to it.
371370TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003590_ALISAIE...And why we have nothing to lose by staying the course till the last instant!
372371TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003600_YSHTOLAIndeed. To the last, let us all do what we can.
373372TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003610_YSHTOLAI will consult with Master Matoya and see if she knows of a way to reach Hydaelyn from the aetherial sea.
374373TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003620_ALPHINAUDAnd I will visit the nations' leaders and attempt to ascertain how far the Final Days have progressed elsewhere.
375374TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003630_ESTINIENKeep me abreast of your findings. I can seek out and slay the worst of the immediate threats, if only to slow the spread.
