40TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_000On behalf of the Resistance, I thank you again for lending your strength to our cause. Reforging the blades of Gunnhildr is certain to stir the fire in our men's hearts.
51TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_001When the battle begins in earnest, I should hope we can count on your continued assistance.
62TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_002Now then, is there aught you wish to discuss?
73TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_010Our efforts to retake the castrum proceed apace. When you have a spare moment, I would introduce you to the new Gunnhildr's Blades. They await us at Utya's Aegis.
84TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_011Is there anything you wish to discuss before leaving?
95TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_020Mikoto requested you speak with her as soon as possible. Something to do with the crystal focus, I believe.
106TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_021I will not keep you. Unless, of course, there is something you wished to discuss?
117TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_025Operation Eagle's Nest is now underway. I daresay there is not a soldier among us who would not lay down their life to see our plans realized. I would never ask such a sacrifice of you, but we would be honored to have you fighting at our side.
128TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_026Now, if there is nothing else you wish to discuss, I will not keep you.
139TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_030Would that we had the resources or manpower to investigate the reasons for Misija's treachery, but for now we must focus our efforts on taking the castrum.

1713TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_040There will be ample time to reflect on our defeat later. First we must return to Gangos at once and regroup.
1814TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_045Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Queen Gunnhildr herself could be turned against us, her blades enslaved by way of foul magicks.
1915TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_046Now that I think of it, reforging the blades of Gunnhildr was originally proposed by Misija, as was the exploration of memories. Could this have been her aim all along?
2016TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_047At any rate, something must be done about this new weapon of the Empire.
2117TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_048If you've nothing else to discuss, I would give this new turn of events some thought.
2218TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_050Should the queen be summoned again, I cannot risk more soldiers falling prey to her influence. Please, you must find Mikoto.
2319TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_051Is there anything you wished to discuss before you go?
2420TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_055After careful instruction from Mikoto, our soldiers are ready to depart. When you are ready, Blade <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>, we will make for the ruins.
2521TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_060The imperial reinforcements we have dreaded for so long have arrived at last, though it remains to be seen why they yet refuse to strike.
2622TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_061If it is true that the IVth Legion has cut ties with Garlemald, this will quite likely be their last attempt to drive us out.
2723TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_062Failure is not an option. We must ready our defenses, and petition our Far Eastern allies for additional aid if possible. I have no doubt our next battle will decide the fate of Bozja.
2824TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_063I will leave you to your preparations, unless there is something you wish to discuss?
2925TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_070A great many of our troops have already left for Zadnor, and I intend to join them ere long. I hope to see you there as well, Blade <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>.
3026TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_075Lilja has been asking after you, Blade <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>. I believe she wished to discuss another survey of the land with you.
3127TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_076If you have naught else to discuss with me, I will not keep you.
3228TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_080So long as the IVth Legion controls the skies, it will be no easy task to advance on their position. That said, I am quite confident Cid's plan will offer us the protection we need to push the front line forward.
3329TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_081...Is there something you wished to discuss? If not, I will leave you to your duties.
3430TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_085Cid's plan has proven a resounding success. The IVth Legion will no doubt redouble their efforts to deny our advance, but I imagine it will not be long before we are prepared to secure yet another outpost.
3531TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_086...Is there something you wished to discuss? If not, I will leave you to your duties.

3733TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_095I know not what Menenius has unearthed in the ruins, but I would rather not afford him time to employ it.
3834TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_096Let us be swift, Blade <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>, and put an end to him and the IVth Legion.
3935TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_100At long last, we have done it. Bozja, our home, is free from the IVth Legion. I have not the words to tell you how thankful I am for everything you have done.
4036TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_101Were it possible, I would ask that you remain here in Bozja to assist in our efforts to rebuild, though I understand full well the infeasibility of such a request.
4137TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_102The path before us now is a long one, but it is one that shall be paved with peace and prosperity for all.
4238TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_000_103If there is nothing else, I must return to my duties.

5652TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_200Our home rests in the southern reaches of Ilsabard, to the west of Dalmasca.
5753TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_201Our earliest records─or at least those we have been able to recover─suggest Bozja was founded at some point during the Third Astral Era. The Allagan Empire had reached the height of its power, and several tribes of the Hrothgar came here seeking refuge from their supremacy.
5854TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_202It was Queen Gunnhildr who would keep the Allagans at bay. Her radiance would light our path to prosperity, and by her grace was the nation of Bozja founded.
5955TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_203Alas, the Fourth Umbral Calamity would see the end of her kingdom. But those who survived slowly rebuilt, and Bozja was reborn as a city-state that would coexist with neighboring nations for centuries to come.
6056TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_204The Garlean Empire's rise to power changed everything. None could oppose the sheer strength and versatility of their military.
6157TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_205Their campaign began some fifty years ago, and now an entire generation of our people has been raised knowing only oppression. But now they would know freedom.
6258TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_206When word reached us that Ala Mhigo and Doma had risen up to defy the Empire, we seized the opportunity to flee and form pockets of resistance.
6359TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_207With Lord Hien's assistance, the several groups that had formed were merged into a single, cohesive force, and I was chosen as its leader.
6460TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_208If the IVth Imperial Legion is able to consolidate its forces in Bozja, however, our efforts will be for naught. We have to strike back, and soon.
6561TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_210But now the time has come to fight back. The several groups that had formed have now merged into a single, cohesive force, and thanks to your efforts, the blades of Gunnhildr are now at our disposal.
6662TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_211What's more, we have reclaimed Utya's Aegis. If we strike before the IVth Legion can request reinforcements, we may very well succeed in taking Castrum Lacus Litore as well.
6763TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_220But now the time has come to fight back. The several groups that had formed have now merged into a single, cohesive force, and thanks to your efforts, Gunnhildr's Blades have been born anew.
6864TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_225We have come a long way in our fight against the imperials, thanks in no small part to your efforts. Why, without your timely assistance, the revival of Gunnhildr's Blades would have been little more than a dream.
6965TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_226And with our forces consolidated, we were able to force back the IVth Legion, affording us the opportunity to seize Castrum Lacus Litore.
7066TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_227Alas, no one could foresee the summoning of Queen Gunnhildr... But having come thus far, we cannot give in to despair. To do so would be a dishonor to the brave soldiers who laid down their lives for the future of Bozja.
7167TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_230I can only pray our efforts thus far will be enough. Though Queen Gunnhildr no longer poses a threat, we will be hard-pressed to overcome the imperials' reinforcements. But we mustn't give in to despair. To do so would be a dishonor to those who laid down their lives for the future of Bozja.
7268TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_300For the present, this is our base of operations, to the southeast of what remains of Bozja Citadel. When the fighting begins, we will hold the line here.
7369TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_301For a blessing, the surrounding wetlands and the fog that persists year-round have served to conceal our operation. That is not to say, of course, we have not taken additional measures to remain hidden.
7470TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_302In the unlikely event that their scouts should approach the perimeter, our mages have cast a cloaking spell around the area to keep us from sight.
7571TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_303Havens such as this are plentiful along the southern coast of Ilsabard. Our facilities are rather modest, I confess, but I would like to think we have made great strides in providing for our soldiers here.
7672TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_304Thanks to the generosity of our allies here in the East, as well as the Eorzean Alliance, we do not want for provisions or arms. All that remains is to secure the blades of Gunnhildr.

7975TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_400It was roughly twenty years ago, if I'm not mistaken. The Empire, fearful of the threat posed by primals and the tribes who summoned them, devised a plan to wipe them out.
8076TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_401The Meteor project. Through the use of magitek, they intended to recreate ancient sorcery capable of calling down meteors.
8177TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_402At the helm of the project was their chief engineer, Midas nan Garlond. In time, every last one of their research facilities was involved in its development.
8278TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_403The project would take a perilous turn when it was discovered that the lesser moon Dalamud was, in fact, a satellite of Allagan design. They were determined to make it part of their plans.
8379TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_404And so they erected a colossal transmission tower, designed to control Dalamud. Its first test would also prove to be its last...
8480TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_405For lack of eyewitnesses, what happened next is difficult to describe. It is often described as an explosion, but the ruins showed no signs of gunpowder or magic. We only know that a terrible light shone from the heavens that night.
8581TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_406In an instant, the citadel was gone. Its citizens and soldiers...my family...
8682TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_407No one is certain why Dalamud responded with such destructive force, but all work on the Meteor project was halted immediately.
8783TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_101_407It is a terrifying thought that Bahamut is the reason Dalamud responded with such destructive force, but needless to say, all work on the Meteor project was halted immediately.
8884TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_408Five years later, however, Nael van Darnus set the wheels of the project back into motion. His devotion was rewarded with the coming of the Seventh Umbral Calamity.
8985TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_409The world has already paid too great a cost for the Garleans' ambition... They must be stopped.
9086TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_430As you know, Queen Gunnhildr was protected by an elite guard known as Gunnhildr's Blades. Their title would one day lend itself to the most renowned of their weaponry─the gunblade, but each of her guard was said to have mastered a unique weapon.
9187TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_431These blades were said to be blessed by the gods, and in the unlikely event one of the queen's guard should fall in battle, their weapon was passed on to a suitable successor.
9288TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_432When Lord Hien suggested we find a symbol our people might rally behind, we were admittedly at a loss. For lack of a living figurehead, we looked to the past, and there we found our answer─the blades of Gunnhildr.
9389TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_433It was a simple solution, in principle, but without your help, and that of Mikoto and Master Gerolt, we never could have succeeded. I believe I speak for all of us when I say we are eternally grateful for what you have done.
9490TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_434With the weapons of Queen Gunnhildr forged anew, we then bestowed them upon our finest soldiers. Indeed, the illustrious Gunnhildr's Blades have been reborn.
9591TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_435They have each been assigned to the head of a unit, and soldier morale has never been higher. It is exactly as Lord Hien predicted.
9692TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_436Of course, they have also found a source of inspiration in you, Blade <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>. Though our martial prowess is not a match for yours, what we lack in strength, we make up for with courage. Even if it should cost our lives, Bozja will be free.
9793TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_440I was so certain our plan would succeed... But who could have foreseen Queen Gunnhildr herself being turned against us? Our soldiers, Gunnhildr's Blades, made her slaves.
9894TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_441We must find a way to save them, and free the queen from whatever magicks bind her to the Empire. Otherwise, I fear Bozja may forever remain beyond our grasp.
9995TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_445I was so certain our plan would succeed... But who could have foreseen Queen Gunnhildr herself being turned against us? Gunnhildr's Blades, our greatest weapon in the battle for Bozja, now fighting for the IVth Legion.
10096TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_446If no remedy can be found to free them from her control, then I fear death will be the only release we can offer them.
10197TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_450I was so certain our plan would succeed... But who could have foreseen Queen Gunnhildr herself being turned against us? Being forced to cut down Gunnhildr's Blades.
10298TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_451It was indeed a heavy blow to morale, but I know they would not want us to mourn their passing. As was tradition in the days of old, we must find capable soldiers to carry on in their stead, and press onward. Come what may, Bozja will be freed from the Empire.
10399TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_500I was born in Bozja, though I have never known a life free from the Empire's rule.
104100TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_501Following in my late father's footsteps, I studied to become a doctor. Much to my surprise, and dismay, my academic accomplishments did not go unnoticed. I was taken to the capital, where I received a formal education in medicinal sciences. Deployment as a medic in their military soon followed.
105101TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_502My service was ultimately rewarded with citizenship, after which I met my wife, and we started a family together.

106102TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_503But I would need to bide my time a while longer, for I was assigned to the IVth Imperial Legion.

107103TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_504We returned as fast as we were able, but there was nothing left of the citadel.
108104TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_505I was ordered to return to the capital, but I had to find my wife and children. I covered every ilm of that barren wasteland...and nothing.

110106TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_507Stripped of my citizenship, I expected to remain under lock and key until the end of my days. Fortunately for me, they had need of more medics for their next campaign.
111107TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_508But I would never reach the battlefield, for I escaped with a number of other soldiers to join the Resistance.
112108TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_BAISHAEN_100_509Many years of service to the Resistance then molded me into the man who now stands before you. And I will continue to serve for as long as it takes to see our homeland safe from the Empire.
113109TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_600Zadnor, yes. The “sinking plateau” in our mother tongue. It lies to the northeast of the southern front, not far from the territories of Dalmasca.
114110TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_601A gentle rolling plain, once upon a time. Until the Fourth Umbral Calamity, that is. The great quake would mold the landscape into the various flat-topped mountains we know now as Zadnor.
115111TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_602The land was also enriched with a vast store of earth-aspected crystals. When first discovered, miners and prospectors wasted no time in establishing a bustling mining industry.
116112TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_603Unfortunately those reserves of earth crystals would not last. The mines ran dry some hundred years ago. All that remains now is barren wasteland.
117113TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_604It is worth noting, however, the floating rock formations are not a result of the Calamity, but the Bozja incident. The energies that wiped the citadel off the map were absorbed into the ground, causing portions of it to rise up into the sky.
118114TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_605What's more, this upheaval of the land has exposed a number of Allagan ruins. The gods only know what the IVth Legion intends to find within them.

121117TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_700Vrdelnis was originally a small settlement founded by miners come to seek their fortune. Who would have thought it might also serve as shelter in our search for freedom?
122118TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_701It was so named for the flowers that once bloomed in abundance in these lands. Sadly, they would never grow again after the Bozja incident.
123119TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_702The energies that permeated the land in the wake of Bahamut's assault on the citadel irrevocably altered the land's aether currents, resulting in a nigh-uninhabitable environment.

It has served our purposes well enough for now, but I suspect securing additional outposts closer to the enemy will prove difficult.

127123TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_710Vrdelnis was originally a small settlement founded by miners come to seek their fortune. Who would have thought it might also serve as shelter in our search for freedom?

129125TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_712The energies that permeated the land in the wake of Bahamut's assault on the citadel irrevocably altered the land's aether currents, resulting in a nigh-uninhabitable environment.

133129TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_801The battle for Bozja is over, but our work is far from finished. Indeed, one might say the true battle begins now, as the various factions of the Resistance seek to fulfill their individual agendas.
134130TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_802Which is why I wish to first create a council of their leaders that we might discuss and establish laws to govern all of our people.
135131TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_803I have already begun drafting documents that may one day serve as our constitution, though it remains to be seen if they will meet with the others' approval.
136132TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_804You see, I have chosen to base a number of my writings on the principles of the IVth Legion.
137133TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_805Many would argue it is a misguided plan, but I have no intention of doing this in secret. The peoples' trust requires honesty, and I have no intention of repeating the mistakes of our forebears.
138134TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_806A great many of us did not hesitate to join the Resistance, some even giving their lives for our cause, but we mustn't forget there were those who chose to remain in the imperial provinces. And though it was a singular instance, Misija was persuaded to join the IVth Legion despite pledging herself to our cause. I cannot help but consider Gabranth's point of view. The philosophy behind his leadership.
139135TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_807To discard everything that came as a result of the occupation would cause more harm than good. There are many things introduced by the imperials from which we stand to benefit, and it would be foolish to dismiss them simply because they came from the enemy.
140136TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_808Make no mistake─the Bozja I intend to build will be free of discrimination and poverty. A nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. As such, it will require the understanding and cooperation of all.
141137TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_809A great deal of blood has been shed that we might come this far, and I pray we never forget, that we may never again have to endure such tragedy.
142138TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_810Once a constitution has been ratified and the foundations of our governing body are in place, we will hold an election, that the people may choose officials they believe best represent their ideals.
143139TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_811If all goes to plan, the first of many elections will be held within the next two years. When next you visit Bozja, I should think you will be proud to see the nation we have become.

145141TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_901Before joining the Resistance, he was something of a lone wolf, bent on avenging those he lost at the hands of the Empire.
146142TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_902I'd like to think he's changed since fighting alongside us, if only just. When last I saw him, he seemed keen to fight for more than just his own self-satisfaction.
147143TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_903Bozja has need of men like him. People who truly understand the pain of loss, possessed of empathy and compassion. People who will labor to ensure others will not have to endure such suffering.
148144TEXT_REGOTH4MYCBAICHAOUEN_00657_100_904To implore him to stay would no doubt have only expedited his plans to leave. Even so, I should like to think he will not stay away for long.
