40TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_SEQ_00Bloezoeng has been waiting for you to return to Revenant's Toll.
51TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_SEQ_01A merchant who trades in salt from Gyr Abania's famed Saltery left a message for you with Bloezoeng of Revenant's Toll. Simply put, should you have the time to come and see him in Stonesthrow, outside Ul'dah, he asks that you do so.
62TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_SEQ_02Acot, the salt merchant, is something of a fan of you and yours. He thanks you profusely for your part in facilitating the joint enterprise of the sultana and Lord Lolorito that saw the Saltery restored, for the revitalized industry has led directly to the creation of countless new jobs for Ala Mhigan refugees in Ul'dah. The influx of new wealth has transformed the community and brought prosperity to people outside and inside the walls─and Pearl Lane is no exception.
73TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_SEQ_03The salt merchant's testimony proves to be no exaggeration, for everywhere you look in Pearl Lane there are hopeful refugees pursuing various means of improving their lot. But will this change be lasting or fleeting? Landebert, a local refugee leader, has doubtless been watching these recent events with skepticism...
84TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_SEQ_04Landebert is unsurprisingly unwilling to take this new era of prosperity at face value, for he knows all too well how easily the wealthy elite of Ul'dah can bend the truth. This is why without hesitation he rejected an offer of employment from one of the most prestigious banks in the sultanate. However, to your mutual surprise, Lord Lolorito of the East Aldenard Trading Company decides to make a personal appearance to persuade the refugee leader to work for the financial institution, explaining that people look to him for guidance, and would be more willing to place their faith in the many ventures associated with the Mirage Trust if they saw him do so as well. Seeing an opportunity to aid his countrymen, Landebert agrees to work for the bank, provided that he and his countrymen are afforded various benefits in formal written contracts, and that they are afforded representation to negotiate for additional considerations in the future. After a moment's deliberation, Lolorito agrees─likely believing that any such Ala Mhigan union could be easily subverted if necessary. And perhaps it can and will be...but not without considerable resistance from Landebert and his like-minded comrades.

5248TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BLOEZOENG_000_000A moment of your time, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? A merchant who brought me a goodly shipment of salt, Acot, left a message on the off chance you were passing through the Toll.
5349TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BLOEZOENG_000_001The salt he trades in is Gyr Abanian, you see. Quality stuff from the Lochs, worth every gil, let me tell you!
5450TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BLOEZOENG_000_002I'm told that the little operation they've got going there is doing quite well, quite well indeed─and that you played a major part in making it possible.
5551TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BLOEZOENG_000_003Goes without saying that the returned refugees have benefited greatly from the arrangement. Not just them, though─seems that there are newfound opportunities to be had for those still in Ul'dah, too!
5652TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BLOEZOENG_000_004By the onion, in my rambling I forgot why I called you over! The message from Acot! Apologies, apologies. He asked that you come and see him in Stonesthrow, should you have the time to spare.
5753TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BLOEZOENG_000_008I expect Acot wants nothing more than to thank you profusely in person, as is in keeping with the Eorzean tradition.
5854TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_010Well I'll be─you came! <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, the savior of the Saltery!
5955TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_011It is a tremendous honor, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>miss<Else/>sir</If>, and that is no exaggeration. I don't know if you realize, but you were instrumental in bringing stability and prosperity to so, so many lives...
6056TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_012It may be a joint enterprise carried under the auspices of the sultana and Lord Lolorito, but we all know who got them in the same room! And besides, even if I wanted to thank them directly, there's not a snowball's chance in the seventh hell I'd ever be able to.
6157TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_013But I'm not the only one grateful for your intervention. You see, all the salt exported from the Lochs is brought here first and afterwards shipped to every corner of Eorzea.
6258TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_014It's a massive new industry that requires a considerable amount of labor. Take a look around and you'll see how much the lives of the refugees here have changed as a result.
6359TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_015Steady work means steady pay for folks who had few options before. They in turn can spend their newfound wealth on goods and services provided by their fellow refugees.
6460TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_016Everyone profits when gil moves through the local community like this. No one needs to hoard resources because they know more's on the way.
6561TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_017You can see a real difference here in Stonesthrow and outside the walls─and in Pearl Lane, too. Don't believe me? Go and see for yourself!
6662TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_ACOT_000_020You should go and take a walk down Pearl Lane. I think you'll find it different from what you might remember.
6763TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_TRADER03186_000_021Best settle on a place to set up shop first, don't you think? The finest wares at the lowest prices won't sell well if we aren't where the action is.
6864TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_BRASSBLADE03186_000_022It's not so simple as walking the streets and keeping the peace. If the Amalj'aa or gods know who else decide to attack, you will have to face them on the battlefield. You understand that, yes?
6965TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_PAUPERA03186_000_030I've finally saved up enough to open my own stall, though I want to make sure I have a solid plan before I do. My friend here's been kind enough to offer me some guidance. Just you wait─I'll have shops all throughout Eorzea one day!
7066TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_PAUPERB03186_000_031I'll admit there was a time when I'd've sooner spat in a guardsman's eye than take Lolorito's gil, but times are changing, and we've got to change with them.
7167TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_PAUPERC03186_000_032Only Thal can say what tomorrow holds, but today I've got coin in my pocket and a song on my lips─and a bleedin' heavy crate in my arms! Bugger me...
7268TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_PAUPERA03186_000_037Location, location, location...
7369TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_PAUPERB03186_000_038I'm interested, aye, but, uh...are prior...indiscretions a disqualification?
7470TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_PAUPERC03186_000_039Where in the hells was I supposed to take this damned delivery again? Was it the jeweler? Hmm...
7571TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_040Been a long time, soldier. I remember when you came here once upon a time, back when Teledji Adeledji was trying to play us all for fools.
7672TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_041The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just the other day an East Aldenard man came round and offered me a job. Not as a salt porter, though─as a guard for a bloody bank.
7773TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_042The selfsame bank holding Teledji's fortune that Lolorito so generously gifted to the House of Ul following the bastard's death. A gesture of reconciliation to smooth over the “tensions” between the Royalists and Monetarists.
7874TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_043As if the two were ever truly at odds. The sultanate is content to let Lolorito manage the estate so long as they get their cut.
7975TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_044Bah! It's smoke and mirrors, don't you see? Perfumed gentry carving up the corpse of a fool who couldn't play the great game, all the while the rest of us trudge on, fighting over scraps from the masters' table.
8076TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_045And the moneylenders, the banks? They're a part of the same rotten system. Chewing up the poor and hapless with convoluted contracts full of traps.
8177TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_046Every man on this street can tell you a story about a friend saddled with debt, forced to work day and night until they fell ill and died. This city eats people, soldier─chews them up and spits them right out.
8278TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_047So aye, I told that bank man to piss off. Bloody fool. What in the seven hells was he thinking, coming down here and offering me a job, as if I don't know a poisoned chalice when I see one...
8379TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_048(-???-)Would that everyone were so perceptive...
8480TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_049Eh? We met before? Something about you seems familiar...
8581TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_Q1_000_000What will you say?
8682TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_A1_000_001That'd be Lord Lolorito of the Syndicate.
8783TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_A1_000_002Well, he is chairman of the East Aldenard Trading Company...
8884TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_050Huh!? Well, aren't we a long way from home...
8985TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_051I will not deny that you have cause to distrust our offer of employment. Under Teledji Adeledji's management, the bank was...less than charitable in its treatment of its staff.
9086TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_052Contrary to his public support of the refugee cause, he aggressively pursued cost-cutting measures which led to unconscionably long shifts and drastically reduced wages. Consequently, quality of service was much reduced, as was the reputation of his businesses.
9187TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_053He was a shortsighted imbecile─but I am not. Neither the sultana nor I would see his policies perpetuated, and intend to offer rather more equitable terms─increased compensation, periods of rest, and so forth.
9288TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_054You'll forgive me if I don't blindly trust a man they say spews gil from his backside three times a day. And even if your every word is true, I'm not about to believe you're offering all that out of the kindness of your heart.
9389TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_055Heh, no, certainly not. Nor would I expect a man such as you─one who thinks five steps ahead out of necessity─to think otherwise.
9490TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_056Simply put, I need you and your people to trust me.
9591TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_057This is far bigger than the bank or the Saltery or any single endeavor. Nay, it is about every single venture associated with the Mirage Trust, which your people rightfully regard with caution. If they are to grow and prosper, it will only be with the support of our Ala Mhigan residents.
9692TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_058You are a leader in your community, Landebert. A man who commands respect and loyalty when he speaks. If you vouch for us, then others will listen.
9793TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_059I trust that answers your question as to why I would descend from my golden chamberpot to come and see you in person.
9894TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_060More or less, aye. You want me to take your gil so others will too.
9995TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_061That was then and this is now, hmm? So sayeth the chairman himself...
10096TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_100_060But it ain't that simple, is it? You can't promise folks the stars and expect them to take you at your word. I want it in writing─for me and mine both. Contracts, legal and binding.
10197TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_100_061And we want a seat at the table─representation for our collective interests.
10298TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LOLORITO_000_062Ala Mhigans united in common cause, bargaining as one? Interesting... In principle, I have no objection. You shall be joining us at the bank, then?
10399TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_063I reckon he thinks he's got his hooks in me. Well, we'll see about that.
104100TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_064Even if he gives us everything we demand, I know he'll try to undermine and divide us. Wouldn't be surprised if he succeeded, too...but at least we'll have a fighting chance.
105101TEXT_STMBDZ981_03186_LANDEBERT_000_065Aye, we'll play his game...for now. Work our way into positions of power and necessity, so when the time comes to remind him who needs who, we'll be ready to extract some real concessions. Just you wait!
