5	1	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000020_THANCRED	'Tis I. The situation may be more complicated than we anticipated.
6	2	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000030_URIANGER	Indeed. I shall remain watchful.
7	3	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000040_URIANGER	Ere thou goest─another matter requireth thine attention. A young maiden, full eager to─
8	4	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000050_URIANGER	Wherefore inquirest thou of her fairness!? Very well. Be she damsel or devil, I shall direct her steps to Revenant's Toll.
9	5	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000060_URIANGER	...Save thine insinuations for one given to such impropriety. Thou shalt not find me amenable.
10	6	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000070_YUGIRI	(-???-)Far across the sea, from the land of Doma, have we traveled. We seek audience with the ruler of these lands. Who here speaks for you?
11	7	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100010_YUGIRI	We have traveled some several thousand malms across the sea, from the nation of Doma, in hopes that we might find sanctuary in these lands.
12	8	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100020_ALPHINAUD	Sanctuary, Lady Yugiri?
13	9	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100030_YUGIRI	Aye. Lying within Othard, Doma was under the dominion of the Garlean Empire, as I am sure you are aware.
14	10	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100040_YUGIRI	When the war of succession broke out in Garlemald, we espied an opportunity to free ourselves from the yoke of imperial oppression, and took up arms.
15	11	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100050_YUGIRI	...Only to be crushed. And so I gathered what few Domans escaped the reckoning, and guided them hither to your shores.
16	12	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100060_ALPHINAUD	A war of succession...? Then the Emperor... Forgive me, you said that Doma “was” under imperial rule, did you not?
17	13	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100070_YUGIRI	Doma is gone. Razed to the ground as an example to the other provinces.
18	14	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100080_ALPHINAUD	Twelve have mercy... And your people?
19	15	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100090_YUGIRI	On a ship anchored in Vesper Bay, flying borrowed colors.
20	16	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100100_YUGIRI	Many were complicit in the rebellion, or are kin to those who were. They will not come ashore until I send word that it is safe to do so.
21	17	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100110_YUGIRI	I sought an audience with your rulers, but was summarily refused.
22	18	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100120_ALPHINAUD	The lords of Ul'dah are not wont to entertain foreign refugees without suitable encouragement.
23	19	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100130_YUGIRI	Mayhap I was foolish to expect otherwise. But our supplies run low, and we have young ones in urgent need of care.
24	20	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100140_YUGIRI	I have seen the tents outside the gates, however. We are not the first to seek asylum, nor will we be the last.
25	21	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100150_ALPHINAUD	...Be that as it may, Ul'dah is no friend to Garlemald. Your tale would stir the hearts of many men and women here.
26	22	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100160_ALPHINAUD	The sultana and the Syndicate will not be so easily swayed─but I shall see that you are granted an opportunity to plead your case.
27	23	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100170_YUGIRI	This is within your power?
28	24	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100180_ALPHINAUD	Well...far be it from me to boast, but I do have the ear of certain influential individuals.
29	25	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100190_YUGIRI	I am in your debt.
30	26	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100200_ALPHINAUD	Lady Yugiri, forgive me for observing, but...your choice of attire seems like to evoke feelings of mistrust.
31	27	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100210_YUGIRI	Men are wont to fear the unfamiliar. We know this from experience.
32	28	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100220_YUGIRI	We seek only to spare the people of Ul'dah unnecessary disquiet.
33	29	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100230_ALPHINAUD	I shall defer to your experience, then.
34	30	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100240_YUGIRI	I thank you for your understanding.
35	31	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100250_ALPHINAUD	It seems I have urgent business with the Flame General. I leave our guests in your capable hands.
36	32	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200000_YUGIRI	I, Yugiri of Doma, am honored to meet you at last, Your Grace. To mark this auspicious occasion, I should like to present to you the finest treasures our humble nation has to offer...
37	33	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200010_YUGIRI	Alas, the circumstances which have brought me here today have divested me of both time and dignity. I come before you as a pauper in direst need of aid─to request that you grant my people asylum.
38	34	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200020_NANAMOULNAMO	I, Nanamo, seventeenth in the line of Ul, welcome you to our city. Be at ease, Lady Yugiri.
39	35	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200030_NANAMOULNAMO	Although I myself have heard the tale of your misfortune, I would ask that you recount it once more for the benefit of the others here present.
40	36	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200040_YUGIRI	As you wish, Your Grace. For many years, my nation, Doma, suffered under the yoke of imperial rule, and my people yearned to be free. Thus, when a war of succession broke out in Garlemald, we sought to take advantage of the chaos and reclaim our liberty.
41	37	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200050_YUGIRI	Alas, our enemy proved less preoccupied than we had hoped, and our rebellion was put down in the most brutal fashion.
42	38	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200060_RAUBAHN	Those who survived─how many do they number?
43	39	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200070_YUGIRI	More than two hundred souls huddle within the cramped confines of our own galleon's hold. Yet this figure accounts for but one of a number of ships which escaped the purge.
44	40	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200080_YUGIRI	It is my hope that you will allow us all to dwell within your walls. Should that prove unfeasible, however, I humbly ask that you accept as many of my people as your resources allow.
45	41	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200090_YUGIRI	Pray understand, we do not beg a boon, but propose instead an arrangement. We would serve─as soldiers or tradesmen─until our debt is repaid.
46	42	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200100_RAUBAHN	What are the Syndicate's opinions on this matter?
47	43	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200110_TELEDJIADELEDJI	I, for one, think it's a marvelous idea. Lady Yugiri and her people strike me as an industrious lot, and there are parts of the city which have yet to be fully restored. If they are willing to work, I see no reason not to let them.
48	44	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200120_ALPHINAUD	The head of the Mirage Trust is not known for his generosity. He sees profit in this.
49	45	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200130_RAUBAHN	I agree. That said, these are foreign refugees. To admit them would require a formal resolution. Shall we call a vote?
50	46	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200140_LOLORITO	The law is the law.
51	47	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200150_TELEDJIADELEDJI	Lord Lolorito?
52	48	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200160_LOLORITO	Tell me: are you blind or willfully ignorant? Even now, our streets are choked with the displaced victims of the Calamity and Ala Mhigan refugees.
53	49	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200170_LOLORITO	They live hand-to-mouth, subsisting on aid provided by the Immortal Flames─the cost of which grows ever higher!
54	50	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200180_LOLORITO	The wealth of Ul'dah is not without limits, my friends.
55	51	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200190_LOLORITO	And need I remind you that these refugees are prone to violence and criminal activity? You have all read the reports, I think?
56	52	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200200_LOLORITO	Without homes or employment, it is only a matter of time before men grow desperate and take that which they imagine has been unjustly denied them. Yet, knowing this, you would have us swell their ranks. Mayhap you think the Brass Blades and the Flames are not hard-pressed enough?
57	53	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200210_ALPHINAUD	Some say the chairman of the East Aldenard Trading Company passes gil thrice daily. This may explain how he came to be the wealthiest man in Ul'dah. Or it may simply be that he's ruthless beyond reckoning.
58	54	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200220_NANAMOULNAMO	Surely the sultanate can support the few hundred Domans Lady Yugiri represents? That our resources have been taxed I do not deny, but we are hardly in danger of financial collapse.
59	55	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200230_NANAMOULNAMO	I move that an exception be made.
60	56	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200240_LOLORITO	An exception, Your Grace? I am suddenly reminded of a similar debate some years ago, regarding a number of Ala Mhigan refugees, if memory serves.
61	57	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200250_LOLORITO	What were your words that day? Ah, yes: “The law is the law.” And so our visitors remained in Little Ala Mhigo.
62	58	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200260_LOLORITO	Mayhap our wise and benevolent sultana would be so good as to enlighten us as to which other of our laws should not be upheld?
63	59	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200270_RAUBAHN	Mind your tongue, Lolorito.
64	60	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200280_TELEDJIADELEDJI	My lord, I share your concern for the welfare of our great nation, but we must endeavor to take a longer view. You know as well as I that people can be a resource still more precious than gil.
65	61	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200290_LOLORITO	Precious or not, they were never yet so reliable. And unlike those who frequent your establishment, I have no desire to gamble with my future.
66	62	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200300_LOLORITO	Ul'dah's greatest asset is, and has ever been, her material wealth. We risk this at our peril.
67	63	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200310_LOLORITO	One need only look to Teledji Adeledji's example for evidence of the danger in allowing sentiment to dictate policy.
68	64	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200320_LOLORITO	How far the vaunted Mirage hath fallen, both in repute and profitability, since he began employing refugees...
69	65	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200330_TELEDJIADELEDJI	How I choose to conduct my affairs is not your concern, my lord!
70	66	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200340_RAUBAHN	A proposal has been tabled. Given its urgency, I move we forgo further debate and call a vote.
71	67	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200350_RAUBAHN	To accept the Doman refugees or not. Those in favor, I bid you remain. Those opposed, I bid you leave.
72	68	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200360_NANAMOULNAMO	Would that it were within my power to welcome you and your people, Lady Yugiri. As you have observed, however, my authority in such matters is regrettably limited.
73	69	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200370_NANAMOULNAMO	Without the consent of the Syndicate, I cannot act.
74	70	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200380_YUGIRI	I understand, Your Grace. And I appreciate all that you have done on our behalf.
75	71	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200390_TELEDJIADELEDJI	The nerve of the man... If that bastard had not forsaken the eastern trade route, Little Ala Mhigo would now be thriving.
76	72	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200400_TELEDJIADELEDJI	That you should have traveled so far, under such dire circumstances, only to be refused in this manner is utterly unconscionable. Pray accept my sincerest apologies.
77	73	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200410_RAUBAHN	Now that the Empire no longer poses an immediate threat, they see little reason to maintain the pretense of unity.
78	74	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200420_RAUBAHN	The Monetarists have grown especially defiant of late─Lord Lolorito most of all.
79	75	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200430_RAUBAHN	But this is neither the time nor place for that discussion.
80	76	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300010_THANCRED	How goes the fishing? Caught anything slippery?
81	77	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300020_YSHTOLA	Aye. Our suspicions were well founded. The Serpent Reavers are indeed the culprits.
82	78	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300030_THANCRED	The plot thickens...
83	79	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300040_YSHTOLA	Has there been any movement in Thanalan?
84	80	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300050_THANCRED	It has been blessedly quiet. Which is to say the Amalj'aa are being no more or less of a nuisance than usual, summoning Ifrit with such crystals as they have hoarded.
85	81	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300060_THANCRED	Urianger, too, reports naught out of the ordinary.
86	82	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300070_YSHTOLA	Then we have our explanation.
87	83	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300080_MINFILIA	Your explanation for what, pray tell?
88	84	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300090_YSHTOLA	For the recent spate of crystal thefts in Thanalan. We naturally assumed that the trail would lead us back to the Amalj'aa.
89	85	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300100_YSHTOLA	Yet it did not. It led us across the sea unto Vylbrand.
90	86	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300110_MINFILIA	Vylbrand...?
91	87	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300120_MINFILIA	There <Emphasis>have</Emphasis> been reports of increased Sahagin activity of late...
92	88	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300130_MINFILIA	Oh gods...they mean to summon Leviathan?
93	89	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300140_YSHTOLA	That is the way of it, I fear.
94	90	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300150_YSHTOLA	Whilst conducting our investigation on behalf of the Mineral Concern, we came upon evidence implicating the Serpent Reavers.
95	91	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300160_YSHTOLA	With the aid of the Maelstrom, I was able to verify our suspicions. 'Tis only a matter of time before Leviathan returns to harrow the seas.
96	92	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300170_YSHTOLA	But there is more. One of the Sahagin─an elder, by my judgment─spoke of attaining the “gift and knowledge of eternity.”
97	93	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300180_MINFILIA	<moan>
98	94	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400010_YSHTOLA	Such a disturbance in the aether... If I did not know better, I should think this device defective.
99	95	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400020_YSHTOLA	And there is the explanation...
100	96	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400030_WUUR	Soon! Sssoon it shall begin! Our Lord shall rise 'midst sssurging waves to wash away the finless ones!
101	97	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400040_WUUR	And I shall be granted the gift and knowledge of eternity, and with the emissary ssstand equal! Then shall I know no cesssation, no oblivion!
102	98	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400050_YSHTOLA	...Whence comes this promise of immortality? The emissary?
103	99	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400060_YSHTOLA	We have outstayed our welcome.
104	100	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500010_MINFILIA	“The gift...and knowledge.”
105	101	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500020_YSHTOLA	Are the two of you quite well?
106	102	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500030_MINFILIA	You...you shared that vision, did you not?
107	103	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500040_MINFILIA	Even before the Sahagin made mention of the emissary, I recognized Elidibus's words. <Emphasis>He</Emphasis> is behind this.
108	104	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500050_MINFILIA	But surely it is not within his power to grant the Echo?
109	105	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500060_YSHTOLA	My lady─unless we act swiftly, Leviathan will rise again. The Admiral has already requested that we intervene to prevent this. Failing that, we are to attend to the primal's extermination.
110	106	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500070_MINFILIA	She will have our full cooperation. Let us make haste to Limsa Lominsa.
111	107	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500080_MINFILIA	I mean to play a part in this mission. Tataru─pray take charge in my absence.
112	108	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500090_THANCRED	My lady, are you sure this is wise?
113	109	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500100_MINFILIA	I am aware of the risks. But there is something I must see with mine own eyes.
114	110	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500110_MINFILIA	...The true nature of the Echo.
115	111	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500120_THANCRED	Very well. I shall not stand in your way...on the condition that you permit me to accompany you as bodyguard.
116	112	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500130_MINFILIA	Your company is ever welcome, Thancred.
117	113	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500140_YUGIRI	I take it something ill is afoot?
118	114	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500150_YSHTOLA	Aye. A primal is about to be loosed upon Eorzea.
119	115	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500160_YUGIRI	A...primal?
120	116	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500170_YSHTOLA	A godlike being whose very existence is a bane upon the land. We Scions of the Seventh Dawn are sworn to put an end to their kind.
121	117	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500180_YUGIRI	I see. Know then that I am learned in the arts of war. In return for the kindness you have shown my people, I would lend you my blade.
122	118	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500190_YSHTOLA	It would be most welcome. When contending with a primal, one can never have too many able allies.
123	119	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500200_YSHTOLA	If you crave a more intimate understanding of the problems facing Eorzea, this experience is like to provide it. Be sure to come well prepared.
124	120	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600010_YSHTOLA	Damn them... They have made thralls of soldiers and civilians both...
125	121	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600030_THANCRED	Did I miss much?
126	122	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600040_YUGIRI	Hah.
127	123	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600050_YUGIRI	Yah.
128	124	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600060_THANCRED	So that is how you fight in the Far East? Mental note: pick no quarrel with Domans.
129	125	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600070_THANCRED	But seriously: if I am to keep up, I must needs forsake elegance for efficiency.

159	155	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_700260_MERLWYB	Gods save us, he means to unleash a tidal wave!
160	156	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800010_MERLWYB	There used to be a hamlet beyond South Tidegate in western La Noscea. Halfstone, 'twas called.
161	157	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800020_MERLWYB	Some years prior to the Maelstrom's founding, Leviathan rose from the briny depths, and set about unleashing watery hell upon us. On that occasion, the Company of Heroes put him down before he could do too much damage.
162	158	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800030_MERLWYB	But when the bastard came next, this time in the wake of the Calamity, we were not so fortunate. Weary of ravaging our shoreline, he summoned a tidal wave which fair leveled Halfstone, and washed the soil away for good measure.
163	159	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800040_YSHTOLA	The area was subsequently occupied by the Sahagin.
164	160	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800050_MERLWYB	Aye, the thrice-damned creatures transformed it into a spawning ground for their brood.
165	161	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800060_MERLWYB	Given the quantity of crystals stolen to feed him and his legion of thralls, we can be fairly sure that Leviathan is stronger now than in his previous incarnations.
166	162	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800070_MERLWYB	If that sea demon is left to wreak havoc, what befell Halfstone may well befall a larger settlement─even Limsa.

168	164	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800090_THANCRED	That was ever our objective, Admiral. But how are we to achieve it?
169	165	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800100_THANCRED	The sea is Leviathan's uncontested domain. The ships of the Third Squadron could not close to within a hundred yalms of the primal, nor could their cannons pierce his defenses.
170	166	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800110_MERLWYB	I have read the reports, Master Thancred. Our warships may as well have been bloody pleasure barges for all the good they did. Seven hells... Is there no way that we might strike back?
171	167	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800120_YSHTOLA	The Company of Heroes defeated Leviathan having first lured him into an inlet, but we must needs contend with him upon the open sea. It will avail us little to consult past experience.
172	168	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800130_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	Admiral, if I may.
173	169	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800140_MERLWYB	Speak freely, Marshal.
174	170	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800150_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	By all accounts, Leviathan's most formidable weapon is the very sea itself. Waves and whirlpools, tides and currents─all these things are his to command. The key to victory, I believe, lies in disarming our foe.
175	171	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800160_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	This, in effect, is what the Company of Heroes achieved with their ruse. We cannot lure Leviathan from the sea a second time, but what if we could weaken his hold upon the element of water? I have heard of devices capable of such wonders. They draw upon the power of corrupted crystals, I am told.
176	172	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800170_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	If mounted upon a ship, such a device might be used to prevent Leviathan from bringing the full force of the sea to bear against us, rendering him no more dangerous than any other sea serpent.
177	173	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800180_MINFILIA	Of course... Cid built a similar device to grant the <Emphasis>Enterprise</Emphasis> safe passage through Garuda's tempest, did he not?
178	174	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800190_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	Begging your pardon, my lady, but to give credit where it's due, this is something I heard from an old arcanist friend of mine.

180	176	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800210_MERLWYB	But before we proceed any further, I would voice one concern: piercing Garuda's defenses is one thing, suppressing Leviathan's attacks quite another.
181	177	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800220_MERLWYB	In matters of science, I am as a babbling babe, but I cannot well imagine that such a feat would be possible without a veritable mountain of corrupted crystals.
182	178	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800230_MERLWYB	The question being: do we have a ship big enough to bear such a burden?
183	179	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800240_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	Mayhap not, Admiral. But two might. Recall you the tale of Mistbeard's greatest haul? It is said that he lashed two ships together, side by side, the better to bear his plunder.
184	180	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800250_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	By your leave, we might attempt to repeat the trick. The gods know, it would be quicker than building a new vessel.
185	181	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800260_MERLWYB	Mistbeard did this? Truly, Marshal, upon the subject of the pirate king, you are as a scholar.
186	182	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800270_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	Now, from what I have gleaned of these matters, the device will need to be in close and constant proximity to the target. To wit, we must lash our twin vessel to Leviathan.
187	183	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800280_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	This in itself will be no small feat. Ramming speed will be required, but given the weight of the cargo, that will only be attainable with the aid of a towing vessel...
188	184	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800290_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN	Suffice it to say, the task of piloting said vessel will entail considerable danger, and I would not ask it of another. I volunteer myself.

206	202	TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900120_THANCRED	Few are privy to this information, but Limsa Lominsa is home to a certain...secret fraternity. Its members are trained in a form of combat not unlike your own.
