40TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_00Mehdjina has samples that need delivering, and the anticipation of adventure strikes you like a bracing wind.
51TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_01Delighted by your timely arrival, Mehdjina briefs you on your next mission─delivering a selection of the Boutique's wares to two interested, if yet anonymous, clients in Coerthas. Your guide, she says, will be Sicard's allegedly “dear” acquaintance, Lord Emmanellain de Fortemps, who awaits your arrival even now with his usual enthusiasm and panache. After gazing at the progress you have made thus far in reconstructing Tataru's necklace, you heft two sacks of her finest work over your shoulder, and set off towards the snowy peaks of Ishgard.
62TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_02Emmanellain's warm welcome helps belay the Pillars' frankly frigid temperatures. The young lord proudly announces that your first client is Lady Laniaitte of the Rose Knights, whom he himself holds in particular esteem, to put it lightly. Sincerely hoping you are not a simple accessory to his exercises in courtship, you make for the Rosehouse in Cloudtop while Emmanellain finishes his obligatory primping.
73TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_03Lady Laniaitte gratefully accepts your bag of samples, and begins to tell you of a recent problem plaguing the islands, when Emmanellain makes his grand appearance bedecked in armor gifted─or, more accurately, stolen─from his dear friend Sicard. Immune to his antics, Laniaitte encourages him to act with decorum towards your next client, who is revealed to be none other than the infamous sky pirate crew the Redbills. This news gives Laniaitte pause, as marauding sky pirates are the very problem she had been speaking of earlier, but Emmanellain assures her that the Redbills could not possibly be complicit in such gauche affairs as reckless pillaging. With a sparkle in his eye, the young Lord de Fortemps skips off towards the Redbill standard on Coldwind, and you follow in his wake, wondering what grand adventure must await you among the clouds.
84TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_04The Redbills are happy and well─none more so than their leader Leofard, who chuckles over his successful plan to lure you out to the Parrock. True to your sneaking suspicion, he has an adventure in store that requires your quick thinking and a sack of one-of-a-kind samples (which you off-load from your shoulder). The Redbills are having their own sky pirate problems, it seems, having lost precious cargo to a gang of scrags calling themselves the “Monstrous Cockatoos.” The stolen parts are instrumental to reconstructing a most important airship, so your sky pirate friends have concocted a plan─a plan that will be further explained upon your attendance in Idyllshire, where the Cockatoos have taken refuge. Emmanellain flutters back to the Rosehouse to apprise Lady Laniaitte of the situation, and you make your way to Dravania, shoulders conspicuously lighter, but heart pounding with anticipation.
95TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_05The plan is simple as it is clever─you and Leofard will disguise yourselves as a shady merchant and <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> bodyguard, respectively, and canvas the town in search of hidden Cockatoos. Spread enough rumors of the coin to be made in the sale of stolen airship parts, and said airship parts will indubitably appear, or so the theory goes. Dressed in Stacia's best attempt at what a black market merchant looks like, and trying not to stare too enviously at the beautiful samples Leofard is sporting, the two of you set off to canvas the town. ※You must be accompanied by Leofard and wearing the black market merchant guise to complete this task. Speak with him should you become separated, or with Stacia to restore or prolong the guise.
106TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_06After mongering rumors like a professional, Leofard grins conspiratorially at you and jerks his head to the side. The two of you drift away from the very prying eyes you have been courting to where your comrades wait in the shadows...
117TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_07The Monstrous Cockatoos appear and predictably quail at the sight of a supremely ruffled Redbill Leofard. But their cockiness rallies as a surprising ally steps forward─Leofard's longtime rival Radlia, with a string of her Talons in tow. Proud and confident as ever, Radlia makes Leofard an offer she knows he can't refuse─his allegiance in exchange for those stolen airship parts─and for a moment, the comfortable smirk fades from Leofard's lips. Brusquely assuring Radlia that rebuilding his airship is more important than anything, he turns to the leading Cockatoo and accuses him of irreparably damaging the necessary pieces. Cockatoo denies this emphatically, unwittingly divulging the location of said cargo in the process, and the smirk is back in full force as Leofard contacts Utata via linkshell and relays the relevant coordinates. Having been outsmarted, and now facing <Emphasis>the</Emphasis> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/> in mortal combat, the Cockatoos bravely turn tail and Radlia admits her defeat.
128TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_08Leofard, back in his own clothes, bids you return to the Parrock while he follows up with the Rose Knights regarding Cockatoo cleanup. You wait in Leofard's chambers and admire all his shiny baubles.
139TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_09Thankfully, Utata managed to recover all the stolen cargo, and finishing touches on the airship proceed apace. Cait Sith is just wondering what is to become of the Cockatoos' trove when Tataru Taru, your favorite boss and coinkeeper, greets you from the threshold with a cheerful wave. Beside her stands an elderly man in a paint-flecked apron. Apparently, Leofard tasked her with finding this portraitist Duremert, who is not only the creator of a number of paintings found amongst the appropriated goods, but father of the late Lady Raimille, Leofard's adoptive mother. Regarding his grandfather with an expression obscured by his goggles but betrayed in his voice, Leofard announces that the successor to his airship─the next <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>─will be ready to take to the skies in no time. After a healthy dose of adventure, a touching family reunion, and a few promising purrs from the brand-new <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>, you, Tataru, and Duremert are preparing your return to Ishgard, when a package of surprising heft falls from the sky. Leofard waves as he departs, and Tataru wonders aloud what sort of reward he must have left you. Equivocating as to its contents, you smile after your sky pirate friend, knowing he has gifted you the next piece of Tataru's necklace.
1410TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_10After listening to the tales of your various exploits, Duremert proclaims he feels awash with inspiration, and offers to compose portraits of your comrades and acquaintances in exchange for only the cost of supplies. While you would have him start work immediately, you must put your first commission on hold, as Mehdjina still awaits your return in Sharlayan.
1511TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_11Tataru has already filled Mehdjina in on the particulars, but you divulge the requisite missing piece to her story─the item Leofard left you. At first glance, it appears to be a simple-yet-ancient strip of leather, but Mehdjina soon recognizes it as an unbreakable Mhachi relic and perfect choice of chain for the reconstructed necklace. With the Rose Knights and Redbills secured as satisfied customers, Mehdjina is brimming with your collective success and cheerfully asks for your help in the further endeavors that await.

5349TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SYSTEM_100_001The starting quest, “Sky Pirates,” may be undertaken by speaking with the unquiet trader in Ishgard.
5450TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SYSTEM_100_002You may review your progress under “Chronicles of a New Era - The Shadow of Mhach” in your journal.
5551TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_001Why, hello there! Your arrival could not have been more timely─Mistress Tataru has but just left instructions for another batch of deliveries.
5652TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_002She sends her regards, of course─today she is in Idyllshire for business with Rowena's House of Splendors, and tomorrow will no doubt find her in some other far-flung corner of the realm. We mustn't be outdone, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
5753TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_003This time, our samples are destined for two organizations in Coerthas, an arrangement made possible by none other than Master Sicard.
5854TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_004He contacted his dear friend Lord Emmanellain de Fortemps, who was kind enough to spread word of the boutique to his own contacts across Ishgard.
5955TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_100_004It hardly took any time for the first letter of interest to reach us. And once these samples have been delivered, that interest will be piqued to a passion!
6056TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_005...Or so I have been assured. Lord Emmanellain has insisted he will take care of all the particulars and bid me convey with enthusiasm that he looks forward to accompanying you on the deliveries.
6157TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_006Now then, regarding that <Emphasis>secret</Emphasis> mission of ours...
6258TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_010A gorgeous sapphire, is it not? It will make a beautiful necklace once restored─a keepsake of not only Mistress Tataru's mother, but that of her many friends and allies from across the realm.
6359TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_011I am confident that someone of your experience has a most discerning eye for mementos. Bring back anything you think will make a worthy addition!

6561TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_025We must prioritize delivering samples and advertising the boutique, of course...but perhaps this venture to Ishgard may afford an addition to Mistress Tataru's necklace!

7268TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_070Thank you for personally making the trip─I know your obligations are many.
7369TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_071Truth be told, your arrival could scarce have had better timing. While our erstwhile troubled relations with the Vanu Vanu improve by the day, we have been forced to reconsider our current munitions due to recent incidents of─
7470TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_073I have come, my darling blossom! Behold Emmanellain the Executioner, here to smite your foes with ruthless ardor!
7571TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_074Well? I strike a rather smashing silhouette, do I not? Why, Sicard could not have found a better man to gift these samples to!
7672TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_075...Surely such splendid armor could be put to better use than fashion, Lord Emmanellain. Could I not prevail upon your better senses to relinquish that gear to those who might appreciate its practicality?
7773TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_077F-Far be it from me to deny any request of yours, Lady Laniaitte! Only, I must confess that I may have slightly exaggerated Sicard's, er, <Emphasis>generosity</Emphasis> in the matter of gifting these...
7874TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_078Ah. You mean to say you “borrowed” them. No doubt without his knowledge or consent.
7975TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_100_078And why should I have expected otherwise? Friends may forgive, but it bears repeating that your clients deserve at least a modicum of professionalism. ...You <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> have other clients, don't you?
8076TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_079O-Of course I have! And of no little celebrity at that─you remember the Redbills, of course?
8177TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_100_080The sky pirates? That an experienced adventurer should know them hardly surprises me─but how does a privileged son of House Fortemps come to make their direct acquaintance?
8278TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_081'Twas a happy coincidence of ale and circumstance, I assure you! As <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here can attest, an unbiased range of social contacts is the essential arsenal of not just adventurers, but any gentleman of consequence. <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Or <Emphasis>lady</Emphasis> of consequence, as it were.<Else/></If>
8379TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_082Unbiased is all very well, but...
8480TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_083Sky pirates are precisely the problem I was speaking of earlier, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, before we were...interrupted.
8581TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_084Recently, self-proclaimed sky pirates have been marauding trading vessels with troubling audacity. Even the Skysteel Manufactory has reported stolen property at the hands of these ruffians.
8682TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_085Troubling news indeed─though I cannot imagine fellows as amicable as our Redbills could be responsible.
8783TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_086Still, if we should hear aught of it, I shall send word directly. Now then, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─off we trot to the infamous Parrock! I have been told to seek out a certain red standard upon Coldwind. How the pulse quickens!
8884TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_090I sympathize with your reluctance, but please follow Lord Emmanellain to the Parrock before he does anything...well, just anything.
8985TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_092Glad am I to see you in good health, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Tidings of your exploits cling to the lips of nearly everyone we meet as of late!

9389TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_101Well, well. If you ain't the very picture of health, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Savin' the star from complete annihilation didn't tax you overmuch then, eh?
9490TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_102Let me guess─it was naught compared to all the bowin' and scrapin' required of the mercantile genteel. Don't tell me this dandy is what wooed you from the life with sweet nothings of financial comfort?

9692TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_104Don't think your interest in our mutual friend here escaped my notice! Your aim all along was less about armaments than it was an audience with <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, was it not?
9793TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_105Heh. Not bad for a dandy. Aye, I might've had me sights on a touchin' reunion between <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and myself─but that's not to say I won't be needin' those samples.
9894TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_100_105See, I've a job that could right benefit from both your keen sense and those pieces you've brought me. So long as they're half the quality of what Emmanellain was showin' off in the alehouses, anyway.
9995TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_106I can count on your participation, yes? You'll be duly compensated, of course─just name your price.

10399TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_113Now that we have you on board, allow me to elaborate─it seems another band of petty thieves has been masqueradin' as sky pirates and harryin' honest traders as of late.
104100TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_114So you've heard of them? Aye, these so-called “Monstrous Cockatoos” don't exactly strike fear into the heart of man, but they're bein' a right nuisance...and now they've gone and made things personal.
105101TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_UTATA_000_115You remember the <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>, don't you? The captain's old airship?

109105TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_119Of course, once the Cockatoos realized whose property they pilfered, they flew into a panic and holed up in Idyllshire after stashin' the goods somewhere.

117113TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_124By the by, would you have any terrible objections if I informed the Rose Knights of your designs upon these charlatans?
118114TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_100_124The Knights are affiliated with House Haillenarte, you see, and thus have particular interest in recovering the contents of that Skysteel vessel.

248244TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_602I reckon I've never been such equal parts awed and envious...though I'll assume me invitation was simply lost by a postmoogle.
249245TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_603Nay, nay, in all candor─I'm certain there are some skies only meant for your eyes. Escapades surpassin' even my wildest imaginings.
250246TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_604So chart the ends of eternity and horizons filled with peril. Just don't think you've seen the last of what wonders these heavens hold.
251247TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_605I'll come find you again before long, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. And I'll bring everythin' I always promise─that thrilling, heady rush of high adventure!
252248TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_606Though farewell may be bitter sorrow, know that it is but fodder for reunions most gay.
253249TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_607No need to get mawkish, furball. It ain't as if <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s droppin' off the face of the star. ...Not permanently, anyhow.
254250TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_608We'll meet again soon enough. Although Cait Sith is liable to mope like a damp kitten till we do.
255251TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_609I expect these parts will be free of half-baked brigands for a time yet, but should you ever find yourself in need of a Redbill, don't hesitate to call.
256252TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_610Thank you! 'Tis no small comfort knowing our ships may distribute their wares in safety.
257253TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_611...As for you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─we'll be in touch.
258254TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_612Well, that was invigorating! While I'd love nothing more than to catch our collective breath over a cup of tea, business calls me to Ishgard. No rest for the enterprising and talented, as they say! Shall we, Duremert?
259255TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_613Might I persuade you to accompany us? I should very much like to hear of your adventures.
260256TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_614Painting subjects I find personally inspiring is a particular credo of mine, and I daresay you have brushed shoulders with more than a few individuals of note.
261257TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_615Thank you for indulging an old man's eccentricities. Now then─perhaps you could begin with the adventures you shared with Leofard and his crewmates...
262258TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_616Leofard <Emphasis>intentionally</Emphasis> off-loaded this in our direction, yes? Whatever could it be...?
263259TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_Q1_000_400What will you say?
264260TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_A1_000_400A show of goodwill from the Redbills.
265261TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_A2_000_400Whatever it is, Leofard's a man of his word.
266262TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_620Oh, that's right! When Leofard spoke to me about finding Duremert, he did mention sending something along in thanks.
267263TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_625How mysterious! But now that I think of it, Leofard <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> mention sending something along when he asked me to track down Duremert.
268264TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_630Well, I would make quite the sight lugging this around to all my meetings, so might I ask you to hold on to it for the time being? I trust you not to run off with my share of the reward!
269265TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_631A gift from the notorious Redbills... You know, they're rather a <Emphasis>nice</Emphasis> sort of sky pirate, don't you think?
270266TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_640A bright and energetic young lady is your employer, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I hope shepherding me back to Ishgard did not delay her business overlong.
271267TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_641The tales you shared on the journey here were beyond anything I could have anticipated. Never have I heard such inspiring episodes of derring-do.
272268TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_642Though I may not know them personally, I find myself fascinated by the individuals you described─the comrades and acquaintances of your journeys. Yes, I believe I shall remain in the capital to paint for a time...
273269TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_643Should you desire a portrait, I would happily part with it for the cost of its supplies. Find me here, and we can make the arrangements.
274270TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_650I look forward to taking up my brush. Let us speak again once you have fulfilled your current obligations.
275271TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_650Welcome back! I just received word from Mistress Tataru─what's this about portraitists and sky pirates!?
276272TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_651Redbill Leofard gave you this? For the necklace?
277273TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_100_651It seems to be a leather strap of sorts...and an antiquated one at that...
278274TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_652...Wait a moment. I recognize this design from my studies! This...this is a relic of the ancient city of Mhach!
279275TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_653It is said that Mhachi sorcerers would weave these cords with magicks to make them unbreakable. You'd be hard-pressed to find better material for a necklace!
280276TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_655Oh, Mistress Tataru will be so delighted. She chatted endlessly about how pleased she was to know the Redbills and what sorts of products might prove useful to our daring new friends.
281277TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_656And the Rose Knights have already placed an order for the garrison, so all in all, I believe our latest endeavor was a brilliant success!
282278TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_657As always, we shall be on the lookout for new areas of opportunity, so I hope we can count on you to serve as our charming emissary again─in fact, I believe Mistress Tataru will insist upon it! Until next time!
