1	0	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_00	Hien stands ready to depart for Ala Mhigo.
2	1	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_01	Hien gives orders in preparation for his departure to Ala Mhigo, and Alisaie shares the instructions she received from Lyse. You are to head to Porta Praetoria, where a Resistance fighter will escort you to Alliance Headquarters on Ala Mhigo's northeastern border.
3	2	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_02	You locate the Resistance fighter ordered to await your arrival in the Lochs. Without further ado, you follow your guide to the Alliance's newly constructed field camp.
4	3	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_03	After listening to your various reports concerning Alphinaud, Gaius, and the lethal Black Rose, Lyse shares her own piece of news: it seems that Emperor Varis himself will be taking a chair at the negotiation table on the condition that you and another member of the Scions are present. Lyse bids you let her know when you are prepared to attend the parley. ※In the event that you leave Alliance Headquarters, speak with the Resistance fighter in Porta Praetoria to re-enter the field camp.
5	4	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_04	You attend the first round of parley only to witness Emperor Varis dismantle every argument the Alliance leaders bring against him. Rather than let the opportunity for peace slip away, Alisaie begs the Empire's ruler to consider alternatives to war. The Emperor grudgingly agrees to a short recess, granting you time to confer with your comrades. ※In the event that you leave the Garlean Legion Tents, speak with the Resistance fighter in Porta Praetoria to re-enter the site of the parley.
6	5	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_05	Alisaie suspects Emperor Varis has attended the parley for reasons other than brokering a peace. She suggests you speak with the Alliance leaders, and formulate a strategy for learning the Emperor's true purpose.
7	6	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_06	You speak with each of the Alliance leaders in turn, and discuss a number of potential tactics. It is time to report to Alisaie with the insights you have gained.
8	7	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_07	The parley reconvenes, and the Alliance leaders at last elicit a blunt answer from Emperor Varis. But the revelation is hardly a welcome one. He explains how the Empire is a creation of the Ascians, and that to reclaim the world for the races of man, all nations must join together as one. The assembled dignitaries balk at his ultimatum─that in order to win their freedom, they must allow the Rejoining to proceed. Unable to countenance a sacrifice of that scale, you, too, add your voice to the chorus of defiance, and the talks rapidly disintegrate. With the Emperor's hostile farewell still ringing in the air, your party withdraws to Alliance Headquarters.
9	8	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_SEQ_08	Though peace was never a likely outcome, it seems the parley was successful in its primary purpose: the delay has allowed the vanguard from Doma time to arrive before hostilities begin in earnest...

50	49	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HAKUROU_000_001	While you and my lord Hien are away crossing swords with the Empire in distant Ala Mhigo, I shall be here with the remainder of our forces, watching our borders. Pray send the Garleans my regards.
51	50	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_002	Come, let's return to Lyse and share the good news about our Far Eastern reinforcements.
52	51	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_KIENKANGATEKEEPER03028_000_003	Lord Hien is expecting you. May I show you in?
53	52	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_EVENTAREA_WARP_000_004	Enter the Kienkan?
54	53	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_010	We must leave now to convene with Eorzea's leaders, and it may be some time before I return to Doma.
55	54	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_100_010	Hakuro─I leave you in command.
56	55	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HAKUROU_000_011	My lord!
57	56	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_YUGIRI_000_012	I shall assemble an advance party with all haste, and join you in Ala Mhigo forthwith.
58	57	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_013	I've just received word from Lyse. The Alliance has established a base camp near Ala Mhigo's northeastern border.
59	58	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_014	Once we've arrived in the Lochs, we're to report to a Resistance officer stationed in Porta Praetoria who will point us in the right direction. Let's not keep them waiting.
60	59	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HAKUROU_000_017	Seiryu's Wall is a formidable barrier, but we cannot afford to lower our guard even for a moment. Only constant vigilance will keep Doma safe from her enemies.
61	60	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_018	Here we are again, ready to fight the same foe... Yet I would not be anywhere else. This conflict concerns us all. Come what may, we cannot allow the Empire to regain its grip on Ala Mhigo.
62	61	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_019	Here. I think we've found the guide Lyse mentioned.
63	62	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_RESISTANCEGATEKEEPER_020	Ah, you must be the Scion party I was told to look out for! If you'll follow me, I'll take you directly to Alliance Headquarters.
64	63	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q1_000_021	Accompany the Resistance fighter to Alliance Headquarters?
65	64	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_025	Is Emperor Varis in thrall to the Ascians? That is the question.
66	65	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_026	If Sharlayan could not negotiate peace with the Empire, I rather doubt war can be avoided here. But every moment we steal for our preparations will count in the final reckoning.
67	66	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_RAUBAHN_000_027	Should the Empire decide to ignore the rules of parley, we could be fighting far sooner than we'd like. Keep your weapons close.
68	67	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_LYSE_000_030	Well, I don't suppose it's polite to keep an emperor waiting *too* long. Shall we?
69	68	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q1_000_031	Parley with the Emperor?
70	69	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_NANAMOULNAMO_000_041	For years have we warred with the Empire, and with no end in sight. A parley such as this represents a unique opportunity, and I would not squander it with bitter words.
71	70	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_RAUBAHN_000_042	Varis holds fast to his ideals, just as I knew he would. He will not be swayed from this path.
72	71	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_LYSE_000_043	Why do I get the feeling the Emperor is hiding something...?
73	72	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_MERLWYB_000_044	'Tis true that Limsa Lominsa's beginnings were not wholly honorable. But our old wrongs do not make the Empire's deeds right.
74	73	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_KANESENNA_000_045	I do much wonder at Emperor Varis's decision to attend these negotiations... It is plain he has no intention of hearkening to our entreaties. But what then is his goal?
75	74	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_046	For a moment, I feared our talks would descend into violence there and then. Alisaie speaks of her dislike for politics, but her honest plea may very well have prevented an early battle.
76	75	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_AYMERIC_000_047	Whatever rebuttal I had in mind was lost when Varis mentioned my father. The man is certainly skilled at keeping his opponents off balance.
77	76	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_RESISTANCEGATEKEEPER_100_046	Shall I escort you to the parley, madam?
78	77	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q2_100_047	Proceed to the Garlean Legion Tents?
79	78	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_RESISTANCEGATEKEEPER03182_100_048	If you wish, I can escort you directly to the parley, madam.
80	79	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q3_100_049	Proceed to the Garlean Legion Tents?
81	80	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_050	Phew. This is really not my forte.
82	81	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_051	After His Radiance's little performance, it was all I could do not to swear at him. I honestly don't know how I ended up playing the mediator.
83	82	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_052	I just asked myself what Alphinaud would have done, tried my best to do the same, and...by some miracle, it worked.
84	83	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_053	But there really is no common ground to be found with that man─nor do I think he looked for any. So the question becomes, what did he come here to do─because you may be certain it wasn't to make peace.
85	84	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_054	<sigh> ...Whatever it is, I can't make it out─not yet, at least. We do have a little time before the parley is due to reconvene, though, so why not try consulting our illustrious leaders? Mayhap they have some insight to share.
86	85	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_058	The meeting isn't due to reconvene for a while yet. You might want to ask the others what they think the Emperor is after. It's not impossible one of them could have spotted something we've missed.
87	86	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_NANAMOULNAMO_000_060	Twelve have mercy... But for Lady Alisaie's timely interjection, we might well have come to blows at the negotiating table.
88	87	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_NANAMOULNAMO_000_061	Not that Emperor Varis left us a great many options. Is unconditional surrender all he will accept, do you think?
89	88	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_RAUBAHN_000_062	Ere he arrived, I'd have said yes. But having heard him speak...I cannot help but think he came with some other end in mind.
90	89	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_LYSE_000_063	Exactly! He's building up to something, I know it!
91	90	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_NANAMOULNAMO_000_064	Hmm... How then should we approach the rest of the parley? Have you anything to say, Warrior of Light?
92	91	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q1_000_000	What will you say?
93	92	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_A1_000_001	Invite Varis to explain himself.
94	93	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_A1_000_002	Say nothing of Zenos or the Ascians.
95	94	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_NANAMOULNAMO_000_065	You believe he is more apt to reveal the truth if we put him at his ease? ...Mayhap you are right.
96	95	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_NANAMOULNAMO_000_066	Thank you, Player.
97	96	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_MERLWYB_000_070	I will say one thing for this Varis─he is well versed in Eorzean history.
98	97	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_KANESENNA_000_071	His interest in our affairs is that of a beast in its prey. The conqueror would know his enemies.
99	98	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_MERLWYB_000_072	*All* should know their enemies. Yet there is much and more we do not know of the Empire.
100	99	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q2_000_000	What will you say?
101	100	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_A2_000_001	I'm sure Varis would be happy to tell you more...
102	101	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_A2_000_002	Then it's up to us to change that. Here and now.
103	102	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_MERLWYB_000_073	Hah! You would have me ask the Emperor himself? Well, mayhap there is some wisdom in that.
104	103	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_MERLWYB_000_074	If we can skirt the storm of his displeasure, we may yet come to our answers...even if it does mean sailing close to the wind.
105	104	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_080	This parley was never like to bring peace, but I *had* hoped to learn something of Emperor Varis's relationship with the Ascians...
106	105	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_AYMERIC_000_081	As had we all. Yet if he *is* in league with them, he is not like to volunteer the fact─and if he is *not*...how much weaker would his position seem for their presence. If we are to broach that particular subject, we will need to be subtle... <sigh> Would that I knew more of the man... If you would indulge me, Lord Hien: you received an imperial education, did you not? Is it true that the Emperor's will is considered absolute?
107	106	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_082	There is no higher authority in all of Garlemald, nor else in the heavens, come to that. Veneration of the gods is forbidden─the only worship permitted being that of His Radiance's own person.
108	107	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_Q3_000_000	What will you say?
109	108	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_A3_000_001	That sounds suspiciously like a religion in itself.
110	109	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_A3_000_002	......
111	110	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_083	I share your disdain for their hypocrisy. Even as they denigrate the idea of faith, they revere their leader with a fervor others reserve for the divine.
112	111	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_HIEN_000_084	'Tis a flaw common to much of the doctrine they fed us─logical on the surface, perhaps, but contradictory upon closer examination. I wonder if a discussion of the various discrepancies might prompt Varis to reveal something...?
113	112	TEXT_STMBDF104_03182_ALISAIE_000_090	You've spoken with everyone then? Good. Now, all that remains is to await the pleasure of the Emperor, and hope we fare better at the second attempt...
