40TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_00Though visibly relieved the Garleans are safe, the hardness in Fourchenault's eyes suggests your work is far from over.
51TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_01Fourchenault is now convinced the blasphemy you seek is Nerva. Knowing these monstrosities often mimic the behavior of their originators, he seeks to know more about Nerva, that he might better understand the threat you face. To that end, he bids you accompany him to speak with captives of the IIIrd Legion held in custody at Camp Broken Glass.
62TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_02After conferring with the camp's intelligence officer, they believe it best you speak with Vergilia, legatus of the IIIrd Legion. She tells you of Nerva's last whereabouts, but before you have time to ponder her words, Kan-E-Senna arrives. She is all but certain the barrier protecting the Tower of Babil is fueled by ambient aether being drawn towards the tower. To be certain, she intends to examine the area's aetheric currents with her own eyes, and invites you to accompany her.
73TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_03Kan-E-Senna casts out her senses, and after a few moments, her suspicions are confirmed─the area's ambient aether is indeed being drawn toward the tower. Her assessment of the situation is soon interrupted, however, by the appearance of Nero. Being in a magnanimous mood, he tells you what he learned in the Tower of Babil─namely, that Varis's heart is being used to gather aether to power the shield protecting the tower. Vergilia, having vague recollections of her time enthralled to Anima, believes she knows where to find it. Knowing where to begin your search, Lorens suggests splitting into two groups─a small unit to breach the facility holding Varis's heart, and another together with your main force to breach the Tower of Babil once its defenses are down. No sooner does Lorens take his leave with Yugiri, Fordola, and Vergilia than Fourchenault receives an emergency message via linkpearl. A number of refugees have left Camp Broken Glass, heading in the direction of the Tower of Babil.
84TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_04Together with Fourchenault, you begin your search of Regio Urbanissima, but can find neither hide nor hair of them. He suggests searching elsewhere. ※You must be accompanied by Fourchenault to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
95TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_05Try as you might, you fail to find any trace of the wayward refugees. But Fourchenault is not deterred, insisting you continue the search.
106TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_06While surveying the area, you hear a scream in the distance. You run toward the cry without a moment's hesitation.
117TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_07You find the refugees at last, but they are being attacked by beasts descended from the tower. Weapon drawn, you plunge headlong into battle.
128TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SEQ_08The refugees are none the worse for wear, but learning that Nerva has been transformed into a monster understandably dampened their spirits. Fourchenault reminds them there are yet ways for them to overcome their dire circumstances, even going so far as to invite them to join his survey team on the moon. They balk at the proposition, but much to your surprise, Nero proves the catalyst to kindle their interest. Thus inspired to pursue this new endeavor, they return to the camp, leaving you to prepare for your confrontation with the blasphemy Nerva.

5349TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_001We must needs find a way to overcome the blasphemy's protective warding.
5450TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_001If I understand correctly, a blasphemy's behavior is oftentimes influenced by the memories and emotions of their originator. In which case, it would be prudent to learn more of the man who birthed this monstrosity.
5551TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_002How fortuitous, then, that a number of soldiers from the IIIrd Legion are in our custody.
5652TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_003For a mercy, their tempering was not so severe as to be beyond our ability to heal them. They are presently being treated at Camp Broken Glass.

6864TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_012What business have you with me?
6965TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_013Ilsabard is faced with imminent crisis, and we believe the knowledge you bear may be key in stopping it.
7066TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_014Thus do we believe the blasphemy to be Nerva. His whereabouts in the wake of Garlemald's fall, or lack thereof, give credence to our theory.
7167TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_100_014Lord Nerva...?
7268TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_015From what we have pieced together thus far, you were one of the last to see him alive. Please, will you not share with us what you know?
7369TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_016...Very well. Though I suspect what meager knowledge I possess shall avail you naught.
7470TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_017I last spoke with Lord Nerva shortly after the warring with the Ist Legion began.
7571TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_018Cloistered within the lower levels of the Senaculum Imperialis, he spent the better part of the day listening attentively to the radio. He seemed hopeful, or perhaps desperate, for news that the tide might turn in our favor.
7672TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_019The next day, I left for the front line. It was there I heard a terrible noise, which I assume came from the Tower of Babil. Then darkness took me, and I remember naught after that.
7773TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_020I was told the radios protected those close to them from the effects of the tower. In which case, Lord Nerva would have remained unaffected.
7874TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_021But he has ever been devoted to Garlemald. “For glory, everlasting,” he would say.
7975TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_022To watch the Empire he loved so dearly crumble... I can think of no one who would be more stricken by the sight.
8076TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_022It would seem we were right to assume what became of Nerva.
8177TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_023And it does not surprise me the beast would choose to make its nest within the Tower of Babil.
8278TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_024It stands atop the remains of the imperial palace, and the throne he revered so highly.
8379TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_025But the Empire is no more, and Lord Nerva, apparently, is no longer the man he once was... He deserves to be laid to rest. Together with his dreams of glory.
8480TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_026We will fell the beast. You have my word.
8581TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_100_026...
8682TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_LORENS_000_027Apologies for the interruption. Kan-E-Senna has arrived, and we're ready to depart.
8783TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_028'Tis good to see you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Master Fourchenault.
8884TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_029I have spoken with Lorens of the ward protecting the blasphemy, and I am quite confident some manner of aether-based magic bars our path.
8985TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_030If I may be so bold, Elder Seedseer, we reached the same conclusion initially, but that simply is not possible.
9086TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_031These creatures borne of the Final Days are devoid of aether. As such, they would be unable to produce such a barrier in a manner to which we are accustomed. Do you suppose it possible they manipulated dynamis to achieve a similar effect?
9187TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_032I too thought to dismiss the notion of a barrier fueled by aether. That is, until I stepped foot here in Garlemald. Even now I can sense streams of aether flowing toward the tower.
9288TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_033Its purpose was, after all, to harvest reserves of energy sufficient to reach the moon.
9389TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_034Even if one was incapable of manipulating aether directly, it stands to reason control of the tower would alleviate such a need.
9490TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_035'Tis merely conjecture, of course. I cannot say for certain until I have examined the currents with mine own eyes. Might I ask you to accompany us?
9591TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_036I would join you as well, if I may. My injuries would keep me from being of use in battle, but my knowledge of the land should serve just as well as my blade.
9692TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_037I would not be opposed to your company. But it is not my decision to make.
9793TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SOLDIER04120_000_038She may go, so long as she remains under watch by you and the others.
9894TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_039Very good. Might I suggest we begin with Regio Urbanissima? I sensed the greatest confluence of aether in that vicinity.
9995TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_040It would seem I underestimated the resourcefulness of our adversary.
10096TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_LORENS_000_041I'm sure it's just my imagination, but I can't help but feel we're bein' watched again...
10197TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YUGIRI_000_042I will never understand how anyone could grow accustomed to such cold climes.
10298TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FORDOLA_000_043I heard word that Aldynn should be arriving before long. I can already picture him knocking his knees, muttering under his breath about the cold.
10399TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_044Part of me does not wish to believe this blasphemy is Lord Nerva. That I failed to protect him. And yet...
104100TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_050As I thought. The aether stream here flows toward the tower, as do all others in this region, no doubt.
105101TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_051This convergence first began when the Telophoroi erected spires in all corners of Eorzea to fuel the Tower of Babil.
106102TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_052But once destroyed, this divergence of aether should have ceased.
107103TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_LORENS_000_053All right, whoever you are. If ye've business with us, quit yer skulkin' about in the shadows and speak yer piece. Was you there in the tower, wasn't it?
108104TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_054My, my, you're sharper than you look.
109105TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YUGIRI_000_055I recognize you. Nero, yes? Why are you following us?
110106TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_056Who said I'm following you. Being a native of Garlemald, does it not stand to reason I might be inclined to come and see what has become of my home?
111107TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YUGIRI_100_055I know not what you're scheming, but we've no time to entertain your games. Perhaps Master Garlond would make better company for you.
112108TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_100_056Spare me. I am a man of great ambition and greater intellect, far beyond the scope of anything Garlond could hope to achieve. He still keeps his head in the clouds, while I would set my sights to the stars beyond.
113109TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_LORENS_000_057Which is why you snuck into the tower. But like us, you couldn't get past the blasphemy to reach the transporter.
114110TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_058Yes, well... I was very much hoping you would dispense with that little obstacle.
115111TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_059And having caught wind of your plans, curiosity compelled me to see if you were truly up to the task.
116112TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_060Do you have reason to believe we are not? Or, perhaps, does the great genius Nero mean to dispense with the blasphemy himself?
117113TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_061Far be it from me to steal your glory having come all this way. But, as I am feeling generous, I will tell you what I learned during my time in the Tower of Babil.
118114TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_062I was able to access its systems, you see, and discovered one of those dreadful spires still appears to be active.
119115TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_100_062Impossible. They all vanished when Anima was destroyed...
120116TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_063Yes, and I've heard of your escapades reclaiming the remains of the Emperor. But obviously you failed to reclaim his <Emphasis>entire</Emphasis> body. As it stands, a piece remains powering a tower at Fabrica.
121117TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_064Ah, yes. The manufacturing district, just north of the erstwhile imperial palace.
122118TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_065A rather impressive feat, considering how these lands are so utterly devoid of aether. Barely enough to sustain life, let alone the spire.
123119TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_066But if one were to use Varis's remains to forcibly create a confluence of sorts...
124120TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_067Precisely. And from what I gleaned of the tower's systems, his heart serves as its core.
125121TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_068Coursing not with blood but your precious aether, and now Nerva has amassed a surfeit to shore up his defenses.
126122TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_069How fortuitous he should find so perfect an impetus for his design, stolen from better minds than his own. How very like him...
127123TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_100_069Oh, did I say that aloud? You'll forgive me if I fail to show concern for your ire.
128124TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_070...If what you say is true, these lands could never hope to recover from such a paucity of life energies...
129125TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_071We must hurry and find Varis's heart, to both spare the land this wanton harvesting, and deny the blasphemy the source of its protection.
130126TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YUGIRI_000_072Are we to presume you have any intention of aiding us?
131127TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_073As I said, I've no intention of stealing your glory. Though I fear victory may soon slip through your fingers if you do not act quickly.
132128TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_074The Tower of Babil was designed specifically for Anima to serve as its core. Nerva forcing himself upon the system has caused it to grow increasingly unstable.
133129TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_075If my calculations are correct─and they always are─it will not be long before his presence triggers a system meltdown. The resulting explosion will destroy whatever tenuous streams of aether breathe life into the lands of Garlemald.
134130TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_100_075But more importantly, we will lose our only means of reaching the moon, the heavens forever denied my genius.
135131TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_KANESENNA_000_076How so very unfortunate... In any event, 'twould seem time is of the essence.
136132TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FORDOLA_000_077That's all well and good, but even if we know which district to search, finding the heart'll be like looking for a needle in a bloody haystack.
137133TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_078Actually... I may know where we can start.
138134TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_079It's all rather hazy, but I still have vague recollections of my time serving Anima when I was enthralled.
139135TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_080We were commanded to erect some manner of facility tucked away in a corner of Fabrica.
140136TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_VERGILIA_000_081I remember not what it was for, but it's as good a place as any to begin our search.
141137TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_082Certainly sounds promising. But surely this facility will be heavily guarded.
142138TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_LORENS_000_083Then maybe it'd be for the best to divide our forces. If it's just the four of us, shouldn't prove too difficult to sneak inside and find the heart.
143139TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_LORENS_000_084Meanwhile, our main force can stand ready to storm the Tower o' Babil when the barrier gives out.
144140TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_Q1_000_000What will you say?
145141TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_A1_000_001Leave it to us!

149145TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_087A number of Garleans have left camp for the Tower of Babil.
150146TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_088They have somehow misunderstood the threat of the tower, and convinced themselves that Nerva has taken refuge there. Still clinging to their ill-placed patriotism, no doubt.
151147TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_089They could not have gone far. If we act quickly, perhaps they can be found before they come to harm.
152148TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_090A wise man would not waste his time on a few wayward refugees. I thought you Sharlayan scholars knew better.

157153TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_100Though I am unarmed, I promise not to be a burden.

160156TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SYSTEM_000_102Fourchenault is now accompanying you. Keep him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
161157TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SYSTEM_000_103You can leave Fourchenault behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with him and selecting the option to part ways.
162158TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SYSTEM_000_104If you wish to have Fourchenault accompany you again, return and speak with him at the original location.
163159TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_105Hmmm. No trace of them here. Let us keep searching.
164160TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_Q2_000_000What will you do?
165161TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_A2_000_001Speak with Fourchenault.
166162TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_A2_000_002Part ways.
167163TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_A2_000_003Nothing.
168164TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_106We've no time to lose. If they should reach the tower, there's no telling what may happen to them.
169165TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SYSTEM_000_107Are you sure you wish to part ways with Fourchenault?
170166TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_108I will not begrudge what other business demands your attention, but I beg you be brief. I will await your return at Regio Urbanissima.
171167TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_109You are returned. Good. Let us hurry and resume our search.
172168TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SYSTEM_000_110You must be accompanied by Fourchenault and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
173169TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_SYSTEM_000_111Fourchenault has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.
174170TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_ALPHINAUD_100_112Oh, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. If you're here, that can only mean the situation at the Tower of Babil is worse than we feared.
175171TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_ALPHINAUD_200_112Alisaie and I are tending to the people here as best we can. For a mercy, there have been no signs of anyone succumbing to the lingering effects of the Final Days.
176172TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_ALPHINAUD_100_113You needn't worry about us, Father. Matters here are well in hand.
177173TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_114That is well. We will not keep you away from your work any longer, then.
178174TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_ALISAIE_100_115I don't know about you, but I've seen enough suffering and despair to last a lifetime. Needless to say, we'll do all we can to keep anyone else from turning.
179175TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_116I can think of no one better to care for them than you, Alisaie. But please do be careful.
180176TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_ALISAIE_100_117And you, Father. By the sounds of it, you'll have your hands more than full out there.
181177TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_120(-???-)Help! Someone, please!
182178TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_121Did you hear that? It came from over there!
183179TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_125A monster, it... It came from the tower.
184180TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_126I will see to him. You go on ahead.
185181TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_130They are understandably shaken, but otherwise appear to be unharmed.
186182TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_140You... You're the ones who came to speak with us before.
187183TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_141We heard Lord Nerva had returned, and was assembling his forces in the tower, but...
188184TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_142No... Not Lord Nerva, too.
189185TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_143Then there really is nothing left for us.
190186TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_145I'll not deny your situation is dire, but you are not without a path forward. I believe you've the passion and conviction needed to rebuild Garlemald, if you so chose. Or, failing that, you could begin life anew in Sharlayan.
191187TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_146Rebuild Garlemald? No, there is no point in entertaining so lofty a dream. And we would sooner die than suffer life under the rule of another.
192188TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_147You would sooner seek death than sanctuary...? Your resolve is admirable, but sorely misplaced.
193189TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_100_147If you would not see Garlemald rise from the snow and ashes here in Ilsabard, might you consider venturing unto a new frontier?
194190TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_148A new frontier? And where, exactly, is this land ripe for exploration?
195191TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_149There. On the moon.
196192TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_150It is our goal to create a repository of man's knowledge there, free from the jurisdiction of any nation.
197193TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_151As I understand, the magitek and technological advancements of Garlemald were without peer. Your expertise would be indispensable in the endeavor. Should you be willing, of course.
198194TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_152You really expect us to go and live on the bloody <Emphasis>moon</Emphasis>? Is such a thing even possible?
199195TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_153(-Nero tol Scaeva-)Have you a better alternative?
200196TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_154Lest you forget, Garlemald did not rise to grandeur from complacency in the present or rumination in the past. We live for the future. It is in our blood.
201197TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_155Life is not without its hardships, of course. Even I have met with the occasional stumbling block. But even should I stumble, my eyes are forever fixed skyward, seeking ever greater heights.
202198TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_100_155The Empire may be lost, but I still possess a great deal of knowledge gained from it, and a desire to seek more. The very notion of exploring the moon is an unprecedented prospect, and that you would balk at the proposition boggles the mind.
203199TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_100_156Consider this─you have heard that beasts of the Final Days were born of those hapless souls that had given up on everything, yes? If that is indeed the case, can you tell me why you still stand before me?
204200TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_156Because deep down you believe your life is yet worth living. Deep down, you long to reach for the unreachable.
205201TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_200_156...Or, perhaps you don't. If you should choose to lay down and die here in the snow, that's none of my concern.
206202TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_157Reach for the unreachable...? That sounds like something I would've said back at the academy.
207203TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_100_157All right, we'll go. I suppose it's better than dying here in the snow, as you so grimly put it.
208204TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_158Then we must first dispense with the blasphemy that commands the tower.
209205TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_159It's hard to believe Lord Nerva, of all people, could be turned into one of those monsters... Please, you must stop him. Put his soul to rest.
210206TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_YOUNGRETURNEE_000_160Thank you, and...sorry for causing all this trouble.
211207TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_FOURCHENAULT_000_161Thank you for the rousing call to action, but... I thought you had no interest in meddling in our affairs.
212208TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_162Lest you misunderstand, I abhor the idea of my countrymen blindly following nobles they know next to nothing about.
213209TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_163Besides, it would be a most piteous sight for not a single Garlean to be among those venturing to the moon.
214210TEXT_AKTKBZ003_04581_NERO_000_164Who else am I to prevail upon to learn of new findings up there.
