1	0	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_00	Hildibrand is onto something, or at least he thinks he is.
2	1	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_01	Thoroughly convinced that your adversary─the phantom thief-turned-murderer─is a vengeful Sil'dihn spirit seeking retribution for centuries-old war crimes, Hildibrand proposes a trip to the Thaumaturges' Guild, where one might learn more about the troubled history of the sibling nations. Briardien acquiesces, if only to get his meddling rival out of his hair while he pursues his own line of investigation. Accompany Inspector Hildibrand to the guild to see what information might be had.
3	2	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_02	Questioning a number of thaumaturges at the guild, you learn of the horrors of the so-called War of the Sisters, which culminated with Sil'dih's horrific attempt to raise a fearsome zombie legion from the ranks of its own citizens. Share these frightful findings with Inspector Hildibrand, who is surely eager to put his famed deductive powers to work.
4	3	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_03	Upon hearing your report, Hildibrand proposes securing an apology from a doubtless long-dead Sil'dihn statesman as a means to appease the wayward soul that he still believes the phantom thief-cum-murderer to be. Briardien dismisses this theory out of hand, while granting that the Sil'dih connection is indeed worth exploring. As the consulting inspector ponders the relationship between the murder victims, Ellie shares rumors she heard about a man who was sighted trying to make contact with more than one of the victims while they still lived. Seek out this man, the trader Guguriya of Horizon, to see what stories he may have to tell.
5	4	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_04	Despite his reluctance, Guguriya speaks with you after being prodded along by a timely appearance from Lady Durilda. He reveals that the victims were all members of the Arbiters of Truth─a secret society devoted to preventing false knowledge of Ul'dahn history from reaching the ears of the general populace─and that they were turned to zombies before being slain. He further shares with you the identity of his employer, a man by the name of Hob, who─fearing for his life after the murders of his colleagues─has already fled the sultanate. Hurry to Vesper Bay and seek the man out before he meets a similarly gruesome fate.
6	5	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_05	Your arrival in Vesper Bay comes too late, as the unfortunate Hob has already been reduced to a slavering zombie. After you have finished putting the poor man out of his misery, Inspector Briardien proposes a return to the Heart of the Sworn in Ul'dah, that you may deliver a full report to Phillice. Ellie and Nashu set off for the *Mythril Eye* offices to do some additional investigating, with a plan to rendezvous when both groups have finished with their tasks.
7	6	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_SEQ_06	Your conversation with Phillice is interrupted by a scream from the direction of the vault. Racing to the scene, you come upon Miss Ellie and an unconscious Sultansworn, who a quick dash of demasking dust reveals to be none other than the thief of many faces. There is scarcely time to rejoice in this most unexpected and fortunate turn of events when a stumbling Hildibrand accidentally dumps a second sachet of dust on the fallen man's face, removing a second mask to reveal that he is indeed one of Phillice's men, after all. In the meantime, Ellie is nowhere to be found. Phillice is quick to take action, declaring the *Mythril Eye* reporter the phantom thief and sending her full contingent out to secure her arrest. And yet, in a case which has taken one surprising turn after the next, is everything as simple as it seems...?

Our phantom thief is a phantom indeed, a wayward spirit caught between the realm of the living and dead for nigh on centuries since meeting a tragic end on the battlefield.
53	52	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_003	As such, our course of action is clear! We must placate this tortured soul, that it might abandon its vengeful vendetta and travel to the next life in peace!
54	53	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_004	But what is the true nature of the specter's grievances? Without this knowledge, we cannot hope to assuage its rancor.
55	54	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_005	Let us begin our search at the Thaumaturges' Guild. Doubtless the tomes there contain a wealth of knowledge on the ill blood between the sibling nations.

61	60	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_081	Researching the ancient feud between Ul'dah and Sil'dih, are you? Most impressive! Young people these days show so little interest in learning from the past. Anyhow, I'm pleased to say I have more than a passing familiarity with ancient history.
62	61	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_082	To understand the history of the sibling nations, one must go back further still, to the birth of their mother nation, Belah'dia.
63	62	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_083	The Fifth Astral Era was an age of untold wonders, when the arcane arts burgeoned and the great civilizations that commanded such powers flourished.
64	63	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_084	This age of enlightenment would not last, however. Power bred avarice, and avarice bred resentment. It culminated in the War of the Magi, which brought the great floods of the Sixth Umbral Calamity, which in turn swallowed once-proud nations and left a battered wasteland in its wake.
65	64	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_085	Mages were reviled and persecuted for having caused this catastrophe, with many forced to leave their homelands or face death. It was a small band of those survivors that found their way to Thanalan, where they would found the nation of Belah'dia some eight centuries agone.
66	65	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_086	Ah, imagine: a government of mages, by mages, and *for* mages! What wonders might have been wrought had Belah'dian civilization survived to this very day! Alas, this was not to be...
67	66	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ERASMUS_000_050	You don't say? It's not every day someone comes to our halls to research Sil'dih. As a fellow student of history, though, I more than welcome the conversation.
68	67	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ERASMUS_000_051	Belah'dian civilization flourished in relative peace until twin sons were born to the royal family. The two were fierce rivals, and when they came of age and their father passed, each one claimed that he was the rightful heir to the throne.
69	68	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ERASMUS_000_052	With neither son willing to relinquish his claim, they agreed to split their kingdom in two, forming the twin nations of Ul'dah and Sil'dih. But not unlike the two proud princes, the sibling nations developed a penchant for rivalry...
70	69	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_YAYAROKU_000_060	Greetings, traveler. You would learn of the war between Ul'dah and the fallen sultanate of Sil'dih? It would be my pleasure to enlighten you.
71	70	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_YAYAROKU_000_061	The two city–states coexisted for several generations until the bad blood between them boiled over, culminating in outright war. As you might deduce from the present state of affairs, Ul'dah emerged victorious, leaving its once-proud sibling nation in smoldering ruins.
72	71	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_YAYAROKU_000_062	As the histories tell it, the battles fought between the sister nations were the stuff of nightmares. In a desperate attempt to overcome Ul'dah's superior numbers, Sil'dihn alchemists devised a most horrific stratagem. Employing a frightful formula known as the Traders' Spurn, they brought their fallen warriors back as undead soldiers.
73	72	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_YAYAROKU_000_063	Some theories have it that they even employed the potion on those of the living who were too weak or wounded to fight. Sends shivers up the spine just thinking about it, no? It is truly a crowning glory of our fair nation that our forebears were able to emerge victorious against these horrors.
74	73	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_070	Hm hm...hm!? Player? Don't surprise me like that! What's this? You're here not for your studies, but to learn of the bad blood between Ul'dah and Sil'dih?
75	74	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_071	Hm hm hm... What's that, you say? You seek knowledge of the bad blood between Ul'dah and Sil'dih? I suppose I can spare a moment or two. But take good notes─I'm not fond of repeating myself.
76	75	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_072	Two scales, one of gold and one of silver. The gold of Ul'dah, weighing prosperity and power. The silver of Sil'dih, weighing *knowledge* and power. But the power sought by the two nations differed greatly─yes, greatly indeed.
77	76	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_073	The power wrought by Ul'dahn prosperity was that of justice and good, while the power wrought by Sil'dihn knowledge was horrific beyond belief─the power to rip the living soul out of a man and render him a mindless killing machine.
78	77	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_074	On this matter, the histories are clear. But riddle me this, my friend: who writes the histories, and what does this say of the words writ within? Yes, truth can be elusive and fickle as the shifting sands...
79	78	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_075	As one example, did you know that in the war against Sil'dih, Ul'dahn and Amalj'aa warriors fought side by side? Likely, you did not. And neither did I, until I encountered a faded passage in an ancient text buried deep in our archives.
80	79	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_076	And yet, in the histories read by the populace, you will see no mention of this most fascinating fact. Might it be that someone, at some time, deemed this particular truth less than convenient? Hm hm hm...? But I have said enough already...
81	80	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NENEKKO_000_090	They say that the thief of many faces is collecting the four relics of ancient Belah'dia. Do you suppose he'd be kind enough to show them to me when he's done? Even a cursory glance at them would do wonders for my research!
82	81	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ERASMUS_000_091	If Belah'dian civilization had flourished to this day, what wonders might have been achieved! But there is little to be gained from lamenting the past...
83	82	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_YAYAROKU_000_092	The mere thought of a nation turning its own citizens into mindless zombies. While I am loath to speak ill of the fallen, I can only conclude that the prospect of losing the war drove the Sil'dihns stark staring mad.
84	83	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_COCOBUKI_000_093	Read well the histories, but never forget who it is that writes them─that is my advice to you.
85	84	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_110	My ever-loyal associate! Tell me, what have you learned from your questioning of the scholars in these halls?
86	85	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_111	...Indeed. As it happens, I have learned much the same. Let us take a moment to review, and allow my peerless powers of deduction to work their magic.
87	86	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_112	A war of succession divides the great civilization of Belah'dia, giving rise to the sibling nations of Ul'dah and Sil'dih. The two nations coexist for some generations, until ill blood boils over, culminating in outright war.
88	87	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_113	Daunted by Ul'dah's superior military might, Sil'dih employs their advanced alchemical knowledge to horrific ends, transforming their own citizens─alive and dead─into a fearsome undead legion!
89	88	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_114	Yes, I believe I have it! The facts at hand have led me to one unassailable conclusion! Our phantom thief is a descendant of doomed Sil'dih, who seeks vengeance against those who reduced his countrymen to slavering zombies!
90	89	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_115	To pacify his soul and send him peacefully to the next world, there is but one course of action! We must find the Sil'dihn statesman who conceived this dreadful stratagem, and have him apologize to the thief in person for the suffering he has wrought!
91	90	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_116	A brilliant plan. Perhaps you'd like to go find yourself a shovel and dig this statesman out of his grave yourself?
92	91	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_117	Leaving aside this nonsense of spirits and specters, it appears increasingly likely that our quarry shares some link to Sil'dih. His garish garb is no doubt meant to evoke the silver scales of the fallen sultanate.
93	92	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_118	This Sil'dihn connection would also serve to explain the rare knowledge of Belah'dian relics our thief clearly possesses.

127	126	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_251	No! Stand back, Ellie!
128	127	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HOB_000_252	Hunger... I hunger...for your braiiinnnsss!
129	128	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_233	Damn! There's no saving the man. Player! Do what you must!
130	129	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_254	Yes, my firsthand knowledge of zombies tells me this particular shade of green is unmistakably that of the undead. 'Twould seem we were a few moments late to the scene.

132	131	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_256	...There it is again.
133	132	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_257	Hmmmmmm? Is something the matter, Inspector?
134	133	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_258	Indeed, Nashu, there is. Ever since I picked up the trail of the phantom thief, I've had this fleeting sense... A sense that someone─or some*thing*─is watching us...
135	134	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ELLIE_000_259	The thief might be close at hand. We should be careful...
136	135	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_260	For the moment, let us return and report our findings to Miss Phillice. Secret society or no, knowing the identities of its members may yet lead us to the final victim.
137	136	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ELLIE_000_261	I, too, had best return to the *Mythril Eye*. Let's meet up again after─I'll see what new clues I can uncover in the meantime.
138	137	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_262	You will do nothing of the sort, Miss Ellie. These streets are far too dangerous for you to walk alone.
139	138	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_263	Inspector! Inspector! I'll go with her!
140	139	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_264	If you insist, Nashu, then I give my leave. But pray be wary! Not just of the thief, but of Miss Ellie─she has quite the temper, as we both know.
141	140	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_265	...Miss Ellie. There is something I must tell you when this case is over. Be safe, and promise me that you will not attempt anything rash, as you did that time when the fiend took aim at my own life.
142	141	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ELLIE_000_266	*Your* life, Inspect─ah, at Costa del Sol! Yes, that was quite the ordeal, wasn't it?
143	142	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ELLIE_000_267	I'll be careful... I promise. I eagerly await the day when I may hear what it is you would share with me.
144	143	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_268	A secret vow? Oho! Consider my interest piqued as well, good inspector! Now let us be off. Miss Phillice awaits our report!
145	144	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HUMPHREY_000_280	Some shifty-lookin' fellow was eyein' the vaults before, but he took off faster than a fleein' cactuar soon as my gaze met his. Aye, just like I cowed many a Garlean on the plains o'─o-oh, it's you.
146	145	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_285	The news of Hob's death will not sit well with Miss Phillice, but a gentleman must do what a gentleman must do.

151	150	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_500	Miss Ellie! Are you hurt?
152	151	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ELLIE_000_501	That man... I only thought to ask him a few questions. Before I knew what was happening, he was upon me! I could only...
153	152	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_502	...Bash his brains with a conveniently placed bottle of mead, it would seem. Haha, remind me not to get on your bad side, Miss Ellie! That said, is Nashu not with you?
154	153	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_ELLIE_000_503	She saw a figure lurking in the shadows, and went off in pursuit before I could stop her.
155	154	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_PHILLICE_000_504	...This man wears the armor of a Sultansworn squire, yet his face is unfamiliar to me. Something is amiss!
156	155	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_PHILLICE_000_505	Th-The thief of many faces!? To think we would find our man like this...
157	156	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_506	Thrice and again did the fiend elude our grasp, but no more! By virtue of a gentleman's ingenious deductions and a lady's pugilistic puissance, I declare this case closed!
158	157	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_507	I return this sachet to you, Miss Phillice. Whilst the gesture was appreciated, in the end it proved superfluous to my cracking of the case.
159	158	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_508	While you're at it, is there anything *else* of immense value that you'd like to wantonly destroy?
160	159	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_PHILLICE_000_509	Wh-What... What is the meaning of this!?
161	160	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_510	...Ingenious. A double disguise...planted by the thief to throw us off his trail, no doubt.
162	161	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_PHILLICE_000_511	This is Guigue, one of my most capable men. I assigned him to guard the vault, and outfitted him with an ample supply of demasking dust. It is inconceivable that the thief could so easily elude his grasp!

164	163	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_513	Speaking of which, has anyone seen Miss Ellie?
165	164	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_BRIARDIEN_000_514	No... That's impossible...
166	165	TEXT_CHRHDB502_00491_HILDIBRAND_000_515	...Of course! It all makes perfect sense!

Thus, she hatched a plan to...
