40TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_000I really must begin restoring that tome... Ah, but where to find the right kind of leather?
51TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_010The contents of a book may be immutable, yet depending upon one's perspective, the lesson one learns may be different indeed. In other words, I am very much in favor of revisiting a story one has already read!
62TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_020Will you be joining efforts to repel the sin eaters from Holminster Switch? If so, mayhap a quick review of your foe would prove beneficial...
73TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_030<sigh> Whenever I attempt to focus on a task, my mind returns to the memory of that jewel-studded night sky.
84TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_031What words could hope to encapsulate that dream-like vista─the indescribable emotion which did swell within my breast? Mayhap I shall spend this day browsing our shelves of poetry...
95TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_040Do you wish to revisit Minfilia's tale? I shall even fetch the book myself this time!
106TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_050Of late, the Cabinet has had an influx of borrowers─citizens seeking the wisdom to understand this changing world. I only wish certain patrons were less, uh, <Emphasis>enthusiastic</Emphasis> with their handling of our books...
117TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_060My apologies, but mayhap now is not the most opportune time for a conversation. Let us first see to the safety of the Cabinet and its visitors!
128TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_070We are fortunate that those who came before us had the foresight to record not only their triumphs, but their failures as well. Will you take advantage of their woeful experience...?
139TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_080...If only the Exarch were not─ Nay, such laments are futile. Mayhap there is something <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> can do...
1410TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_090I could not say why, but recounting the Exarch's story for you seems to have brought me a measure of calm...
1511TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_091Mayhap it is the sense of the familiar, helping to ground me in this moment of chaos. Might another such familiar tale aid you in finding your direction?
1612TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_100Welcome, welcome! Will you be revisiting old material today? Or breaching a new subject entirely, perchance?
1713TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_Q1_000_500What will you do?
1814TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_A1_000_501Review modern history.
1915TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_A1_000_502Review the story of Minfilia.
2016TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_A1_000_503Speak about Ardbert and his companions.
2117TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_A1_000_504Nothing.
2218TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_510Splendid. Allow me to locate an appropriately eye-catching volume, and we shall commence your revision!
2319TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_511A hundred years ago─or near enough not to matter─villains known as the Warriors of Light slew the Shadowkeeper, the steward of Darkness.
2420TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_512In the wake of this tainted deed, Light began to pour into the world as if from unseen cracks. It pooled and swelled without cease, until the day an enormous, blinding wave rose up and swept across our star.
2521TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_513We called this calamity the “Flood of Light.” Everything it touched was leeched of life and vigor, leaving naught behind but a luminous wasteland.
2622TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_514Yet just when it seemed that all would be lost, a savior appeared before us...
2723TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_515The Oracle of Light. She stood 'twixt us and approaching doom, and by her power did she stay the Flood. Thus was Norvrandt, and Norvrandt alone, spared the fate of erasure.
2824TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_516Tragedy would, however, arrive in another form. From the blasted emptiness descended horrors of strange and terrible aspect to bedevil the few folk who survived.
2925TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_517These “sin eaters” were Light incarnate, and their fulgent presence stole the night from Norvrandt's sky.
3026TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_518Even now, they circle the remaining bastions of civilization, ever on the hunt for us, ever hungering for our flesh...
3127TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_519...And so concludes this tale of modern history. I wonder if mankind's battle with the sin eaters will find its end within our lifetimes...
3228TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_520...And so concludes this tale of modern history─though mayhap 'tis time I made some few amendments. Yes, a new chapter to illustrate the sin eaters' downfall!
3329TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_530Very good. Then let us once more delve into <Emphasis>The Illustrated Tale of the Oracle of Light</Emphasis>.
3430TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_531It began a hundred years ago, when the Flood of Light threatened to swallow Norvrandt. Just as all seemed lost, a savior appeared who halted the all-consuming radiance. A maiden with hair of spun gold and eyes of clearest sapphire.
3531TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_532Naught was known about her save that her name was Minfilia. And for delivering the realm, she came to be revered as the Oracle of Light.
3632TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_533After stopping the Flood, the mysterious maiden vanished without a trace. But fifteen years later, her name would unexpectedly reappear in the annals of history.
3733TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_534When sin eaters laid ruin to the Kingdom of Voeburt, a young girl was discovered who was immune to the creatures' blighted touch.
3834TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_535...One with hair of spun gold and eyes of clearest sapphire. She was hailed as the Oracle reborn and came to likewise be called Minfilia.
3935TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_536Enlisting in the Eulmoran Army, this Minfilia fought and vanquished countless sin eaters.
4036TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_537Alas, like so many other soldiers, she eventually met her end in battle.
4137TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_538Yet with her dying breath, she whispered unto her grieving comrades, “Minfilia will return.”
4238TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_539And true to her words, some years later, another young girl was discovered who possessed the selfsame eyes, that selfsame hair, and those selfsame powers.
4339TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_540She too took the name Minfilia. She too fought sin eaters as a soldier of Eulmore. And she too fell in battle. Many more were to follow in her footsteps. And so the cycle continues to this day.
4440TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_541...And that concludes the tale. Minfilia has taught us much about the nature of the sin eaters, yet hers has been a heavy burden to bear..
4541TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_542...And that concludes the tale as it has been told. It seems, however, that this most recent Oracle of Light stands apart from the others.
4642TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_543Though 'tis not my place to scrutinize, I am most curious as to─ Nay. Nay, I shall contain my inquisitive nature.
4743TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_544I will say only this: I shall be joyous to hear that the story of these girls and their sorrowful fate has at last been given the ending it deserves.
4844TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_550...What's this? A tale for the history books, you say? W-Well, then, I should be very interested to hear it!
4945TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_551...B-But this is extraordinary! The Warriors of Light were not as I imagined them...
5046TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_552Their weary souls, standing at Minfilia's side to halt the very Flood they caused... And Ardbert, lending you his strength as you fought for the First!
5147TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_553M-My mind is in a whirl, I must... Yes! I must record these revelations on parchment! There must needs be a new chapter written─a revised account!
5248TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_554Do you not see, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!? This all comes back to the words the Exarch spoke to the people of the Crystarium.
5349TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_555“We shall fight on, that our children and our children's children might know a better tomorrow.” The Warriors of Light were the very embodiment of that sentiment!
5450TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_556...I should speak with Cyella to learn more? You mean the server, yes? At the Wandering Stairs?
5551TEXT_REGNOR4MOREN_00613_MOREN_000_557Hm. I have never known her to be a borrower of history books... But if you are adamant she has truths to share, then I shall be sure to pay her a visit!
