1	0	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_SEQ_00	Alphinaud seems eager to return to Camp Dragonhead.
2	1	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_SEQ_01	Eager to begin his meeting with Ser Aymeric, Alphinaud puts the Gates of Judgement behind him. Return to Camp Dragonhead and ask Lord Haurchefant where the audience is to be held.
3	2	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_SEQ_02	After welcoming you with his customary warmth, Lord Haurchefant informs you that Ser Aymeric awaits within the nearby intercessory. Speak with the House Fortemps guard to gain entry to the audience chamber, and announce your arrival to the lord commander.
4	3	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_SEQ_03	Shortly after greeting Ser Aymeric in the intercessory, you are joined by Estinien, the Azure Dragoon. Owing to his prolonged contact with the Eye, Estinien is able to hear Nidhogg's “voice,” and confirms that the roar that recently shook the heavens was the vengeful wyrm's call to battle. It would appear that Iceheart, if not directly in league with the creature, at least shares Nidhogg's desire to invade the city and lay claim to the Eye. Swayed by Ser Aymeric's grim prediction of a desolate Coerthas providing a new staging point for the Empire, Alphinaud agrees to aid the beleaguered lord commander. Speak with the young Scion and hear his thoughts concerning the Ishgardians' request.
5	4	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_SEQ_04	The Dravanians converge upon the city of Ishgard in their thousands, and there is no guarantee that her defenders will be able to repel them─even *with* outside assistance. Nevertheless, Alphinaud seems grateful for this opportunity to bring the nations of Eorzea together as allies once more.

50	49	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_001	Lord Haurchefant will know where Ser Aymeric means to receive us.
51	50	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_002	Pray ask Lord Haurchefant to direct us to the meeting place when you are ready.
52	51	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_HAURCHEFANT_000_010	'Tis reassuring indeed to behold the countenance of a friend when one's homeland teeters upon the very brink of disaster!
53	52	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_HAURCHEFANT_000_011	Though a single misstep could send us plunging into the abyss, your heroic presence stokes the flames of courage within my heart!
54	53	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_HAURCHEFANT_000_012	Ah, but you did not come to Dragonhead to listen to my prattling! The lord commander has arrived, and would treat with you in the intercessory.
55	54	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_HAURCHEFANT_000_013	Ser Aymeric is now arrived in Camp Dragonhead. Pray make your way to the intercessory!
56	55	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_014	Ishgard's future hangs in the balance. If the city's salvation rests on our assistance, I cannot well withhold it. Even so, I mean to make Ser Aymeric sweat for his reinforcements. On this occasion, feigned disinterest may serve the cause of Eorzean unity better than naked philanthropy. Come! Let us find out what concessions the Holy See is willing to make...
57	56	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_FORTEMPSGUARD00054_000_014	Greetings, madam. Shall I show you inside?
58	57	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_FORTEMPSGUARD00054_Q1_000_1	Proceed to the intercessory?
59	58	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_FORTEMPSGUARD00054_A1_000_1	Yes
60	59	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_FORTEMPSGUARD00054_A1_000_2	No
61	60	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_050	I thank you for coming with such haste...and apologize for my absence. Suffice it to say, Lady Iceheart and her heretics have much to answer for...
62	61	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_051	Yes...we are but recently returned from the Gates of Judgement ourselves. Given the circumstances, we quite understand if you would prefer to postpone our appointed audience.
63	62	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_052	On the contrary, Master Alphinaud─I think it more important than ever that this meeting take place. Rest assured, I shall return to my post on Ishgard's walls the moment our business is concluded.
64	63	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_053	Before we move on to the subject of reinforcements, however, I would introduce you to a close friend and stalwart ally. Estinien!
65	64	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_054	May I present to you Ishgard's Azure Dragoon.
66	65	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_055	An impressive title...though I confess, I know precious little of the order of dragoons.
67	66	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_056	They are formidable warriors all. Yet even among such masters of the lance, Estinien is without equal.
68	67	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_057	He, out of all the warriors of Ishgard, was chosen to wield the power of dragons, and may thus contend with any Dravanian.
69	68	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_058	...You flatter me overmuch, Lord Commander.
70	69	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_059	If ever I was without equal, I am no longer─as my fellow Azure Dragoon here will attest. Be at ease, Player─I did not come to challenge you this day.
71	70	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_060	Ah, it is you... But of course...it is only fitting that fate should draw the two of us together.
72	71	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_061	So, you are the adventurer of whom they spoke... I see now why my blood fair sang in anticipation of our meeting.
73	72	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_062	...Well, now that we have all been introduced, let us proceed to the matter at hand. I would share with you what we have learned of Iceheart's design, as confessed by the heretics taken captive after the assault on the gates.
74	73	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_063	'Twould seem that Lady Iceheart and the Dravanians share a common goal─the reclamation of Nidhogg's stolen eye.
75	74	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_064	Nidhogg... One of the seven great wyrms.
76	75	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_065	His name features prominently in your nation's history. Though once defeated by the hero Haldrath, the beast is said to have terrorized Coerthas since Ishgard's founding.
77	76	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_066	Aye, many are the scars our walls bear from Nidhogg's relentless efforts to raze the city.
78	77	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_067	The trophy Haldrath plucked from the bested wyrm's skull─known simply as “the Eye”─is a treasured relic of Ishgard, and one possessed of untold power.
79	78	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_068	Should it ever be returned to Nidhogg, the dread creature would be restored to the height of his strength. ...And then no wall or ward we could erect would be stout enough to deny him.
80	79	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_MIDGARDSORMR_000_069	(-Voice of Midgardsormr-)My vengeful son hath waged war against Ishgard for a thousand years. No mortal mind could comprehend the depths of his rancor.
81	80	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_070	The Eye itself is secreted deep within the Vault. It is kept under heavy guard─surrounded at all times by men and women who have proven their loyalty to the Holy See.
82	81	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_071	But though stout walls and sharp blades may suffice to discourage the heretics, the dragons are another matter. There are individuals within the Dravanian Horde whom an entire company of knights would labor to repel─to say nothing of Nidhogg himself.
83	82	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_072	Nor does age rob them of their strength. Through the endless march of years, the dragons endure. Patient. Calculating. Inexorable. You must understand: these creatures do not share our perception of time.
84	83	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_073	And that is especially true of the great wyrms─they who spend centuries in slumber only to wake and resume their campaign as if mere hours had passed.
85	84	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_074	It has been twenty years since Nidhogg last darkened our skies. Twenty years for him to gather his strength, and for us to bolster our defenses... And now, just as he seems primed to return, the heretics strike at the gates...
86	85	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_075	...You believe that Lady Iceheart is in league with the creature, then?
87	86	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_076	Of that, we cannot be certain. Though we know the heretics covet the Eye, we have been unable to determine their plans for it.
88	87	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_078	Such questions aside, we must needs address the ragged hole their mistress has seen fit to rend in Ishgard's protections. 'Tis a weakness the Dravanians are not like to leave untested.
89	88	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_079	So it would seem... You have described your plight in admirable detail, Lord Commander. Yet I cannot help but wonder at your candor. Why share such sensitive information with us?
90	89	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_080	I shall speak plain. Ishgard has need of allies, and I would have you bolster our front lines in readiness for the coming battle against the dragons.
91	90	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_081	This much I expected. Unlike our arrangement concerning the Keeper of the Lake, however, only you stand to benefit from our assistance in this matter. I fail to see why we should intervene in a conflict which concerns only Ishgard and Dravania.
92	91	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_082	When the Eorzean Alliance requested Ishgard's assistance during Operation Archon, you refused us.
93	92	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_083	Does it not seem grossly unjust to demand that we now risk our lives in your private war?
94	93	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_084	I make no attempt to defend my country's conduct. I only ask that you consider what would follow were Ishgard to fall.
95	94	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_085	Having razed our city to the ground, the Horde would have little cause to linger, and most would return to their lairs in Dravania. Soon thereafter, the ruins of Coerthas would be buried in snow, and the land would become the sole province of beasts and beastmen.
96	95	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_086	...Until the Garleans' arrival, that is─for you may be certain that the Empire would not hesitate to claim Coerthas. They would not even have to draw steel.
97	96	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_087	An imperial province sharing a border with Mor Dhona...? Seven hells...
98	97	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_088	...Ahem. Very well─we will assist you in repelling the dragons. The roar of a great wyrm may have shaken the firmament, but we of Eorzea will not abandon our Ishgardian brothers to face the coming Horde alone.
99	98	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_AYMERIC_000_089	Nor did I ever think you would. Now, upon the matter of the roar─
100	99	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_100_089	Allow me, Ser Aymeric.
101	100	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_090	Through the power of the Eye, I have become the vessel of Nidhogg's strength. His essence has stolen into my very blood.
102	101	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_091	Fear not─I am in full control of my faculties, I assure you. And the Eye itself is of no relevance to this tale─it is not essential that I bear it with me wheresoever I go.
103	102	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_092	Its lingering influence does, however, allow me to hear Nidhogg's voice...
104	103	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_093	Then the wyrm who roared...?
105	104	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_094	...Was Nidhogg, aye. He means to hurl his Horde against Daniffen's Collar, and shatter the remaining wards that protect the city.
106	105	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ESTINIEN_000_095	There can be no doubt─the wyrm has summoned his minions to war.
107	106	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_110	Though the circumstances are far from ideal, this desperate endeavor will at least provide us an opportunity to bring the sister states of Eorzea together in common cause.
108	107	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_111	...Ser Aymeric was more ruthless in his negotiations than I had anticipated. I suppose one must give no quarter when one's home is at stake.
109	108	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_112	But did you see the look on his face when he formally requested our assistance? Though the lord commander has long campaigned for Ishgard to open its gates to outsiders, I suspect this softening of the Holy See's attitude towards foreign cooperation comes as something of a bittersweet victory.
110	109	TEXT_GAIUSE603_00372_ALPHINAUD_000_113	The days ahead promise to be interesting indeed...
