4	0	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_00	Krile is intent on uncovering the reason behind the Forum's inexplicable behavior.
5	1	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_01	As a means to gain insight into the Forum and their confounding obstinacy, Krile has been scouring Sharlayan's archives for any mention of the Final Days. Progress has been slow, however, and she enlists you and your fellow Scions to help with her research. For your first task, you are to meet Krile at the nearby entrance to Noumenon─the grand library of Sharlayan.
6	2	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_02	Krile instructs you to seek out any books on the subject of Sharlayan history or the workings of the Forum. It seems she wishes for you to brush up on your fundamental knowledge for the sake of the ongoing investigation.
7	3	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_03	Having reviewed the basics of Sharlayan's founding and the establishment of the Forum, you feel sufficiently prepared for the task ahead. You then recall that you were to rendezvous with the others at the stone benches just outside Noumenon's entrance.
8	4	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_04	Alisaie and G'raha Tia are the first to join you, and following a revealing discussion of their respective family situations, they settle down to study their borrowed books. Alphinaud and Krile should both be along soon...
9	5	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_05	As expected, Alphinaud and Krile appear next, bearing their own armfuls of reading material. Krile subjects you to a sudden interrogation regarding your experiences in Amaurot, wishing to compare your firsthand account with what she knows of the Final Days. Satisfied that her understanding is now equal to the rest of the Scions, she and Alphinaud focus on their reading, leaving you to keep an eye out for the final member of your research group.
10	6	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_06	Last to arrive, Y'shtola expresses doubts that the sensitive knowledge you seek would be contained in Noumenon's public archives. She is of the opinion, however, that some snippet of useful information might still be found, and enlists you as her research assistant. After what feels like an age, you are released to speak with Krile.
11	7	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_SEQ_07	Despite your exhausted appearance, Krile informs you that, should you so desire, Noumenon's reference mammet can point you towards the same books you located earlier. For the moment, however, you are excused from further reading duties.

53	49	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_ALISAIE_000_005	I still don't understand how the vote could be unanimous... What could possibly convince them all to turn their backs on Eorzea?
54	50	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_YSHTOLA_000_010	The process by which Forum members are elected is fair and equitable─neither wealth nor social standing offers any advantages to a prospective candidate. But fairly elected or not, Master Matoya still found them all to be insufferable.
55	51	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_GRAHATIA_000_015	Our tour of the city was a pleasant distraction. I feel more than ready now to tackle the challenges of the day!
56	52	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_020	An unsettling change has come over Sharlayan, but together we will divine the underlying cause for the Forum's callousness.
57	53	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_021	As I mentioned before, however, questioning the councilors directly is a fruitless endeavor. They seem to have already come to a consensus as to what─and how little─they are willing to divulge.
58	54	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_022	Which is why I began scouring Sharlayan's archive of historical records for any hint of a connection to the Final Days.
59	55	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_023	Suffice it to say that progress has been slow─there are only so many dusty pages one can skim in a day. But now that I have this band of willing reinforcements, the search should proceed all the swifter!

63	59	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_031	This building is actually only an entrance─and one of many at that─for the archives of Noumenon extend deep beneath the surface like the roots of a tree. The vast halls of the Great Gubal Library pale in comparison to Noumenon's endless maze of subterranean chambers.

66	62	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_034	Your status presents more of a problem. As a non-citizen, you are only permitted to browse the first floor here at the entrance. Even so, there should be a number of books which touch upon Sharlayan history or Forum policy.
67	63	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_035	Your task will be to find and study the relevant publications. I promise you, a working knowledge of those subjects will make it far easier to spot the sort of clues we're looking for.
68	64	TEXT_AKTKMA103_04359_KRILE_000_036	Let us be about it, shall we? I've told the others to meet us at the stone benches over there once they've found some promising tomes. Happy reading!
