A Place to Return - Ru'Lude Gardens Wolfgang: Player name!
What are you doing here!?
Wolfgang: Have you found some means to stop the Wyrmking, Bahamut?
Wolfgang: The battle will soon begin.
An airship carrying a group of adventurers was downed in an attack by the wyrms.Wolfgang: We have completed preparations on the warships, and nothing remains to be done.
Wolfgang: Only...
I don't know if this is good news or bad news to you, but the commander of the Jeunoan Armada, Lady Esha'ntarl, is nowhere to be found!Wolfgang: Lord Nag'molada has also disappeared without so much as an escort...
Dammit! This wouldn't be your doing, would it!?- Is this your doing?
- All part of my plan. <----- Chose this option!
- Of course not!
Wolfgang: Please, Player name, this is no time for sarcasm.
Forgive my wild accusations.- Is this your doing?
- All part of my plan.
- Of course not! <----- Chose this option!
Wolfgang: My apologies.
You must forgive my wild accusations.Wolfgang: No matter how much one despises senseless bloodshed, there are few who can stand by while their home is burned to the ground.
Wolfgang: And so, if it means saving Jeuno from the wyrms, I have no choice but to cooperate with this race of ancients.
Pherimociel: Captain Wolfgang!
The criminals who escaped with warship zero-three have been identified!Chapi Galepilai: It appears to be the work of those three Tarutaru!
We have a witness who overheard them talking about heading to a place they referred to as the "fated land."Wolfgang: They took a warship!?
Is it possible they know where our missing officials have disappeared to!?Wolfgang: And where is this "fated land" they spoke of!?
Split up and find some answers!A Place to Return - Misareaux Coast Esha'ntarl: Player name...
You did well to find this place.
I assume you were led here by the memories of the mothercrystal?Esha'ntarl: Even if the Crystal Line is cut, as long as people exist, and as long as there is life on Vana'diel, the memories of the mothercrystal will endure.
Esha'ntarl: There is nothing anyone can do to change that.
Esha'ntarl: We are all born from the light of the crystal, and we return to that luminescence when we die...
(People are also born from the darkness, and return to the darkness...)
Esha'ntarl: ...?
(The opposites of light and dark... Both are held within you...)
(You are born from the light that illuminates all, and then slowly devoured by the Emptiness that desires only oblivion...)
(This is the cycle begun by the Goddess of the Dawn.
The cycle created for the sake of the Twilight God, Promathia...)Esha'ntarl: Player name...
How can you speak to my soul...?Esha'ntarl: Selh'teus...
Esha'ntarl: What have you done to Player name...?
Esha'ntarl: ...
Esha'ntarl: Now is not the time to answer such questions, is it?
Esha'ntarl: After the passing of ten thousand years, it is time for us to discover why our paths have crossed again.
Esha'ntarl: Selh'teus.
The pact you left with the terrestrial avatars has been honored by the children of Vana'diel...Esha'ntarl: The coming of the Keeper of the Apocalypse has been prevented.
Esha'ntarl: However, Bahamut does not hold the pact to be complete.
Esha'ntarl: Is it true that unless the Keeper of the Apocalypse is freed from the cycle of the mothercrystal, the pact cannot be considered fulfilled?
Selh'teus: ...
Esha'ntarl: You need not use common speech.
Esha'ntarl: The amulet--the testament of affinity--connects my soul to yours.
Esha'ntarl: Let us finally walk the same path that has brought us here over the span of ten thousand years.
For Vana'diel, and for the future.Nag'molada: He has eluded me yet again...
Nag'molada: Was that your plan, Esha'ntarl?
Nag'molada: To use the testament of affinity to link your souls?
You mean to have your soul taken over, just as Prishe did.Nag'molada: No.
Your plan was to make it appear as your soul has been possessed. A way to protect yourself, perhaps?Nag'molada: An excuse for letting Selh'teus escape.
Esha'ntarl: ...
Nag'molada: No feeble attemtpts at denial?
Just what I'd expect from a Zilart.Nag'molada: But I have leared the truth from the mothercrystal.
You were born a Kuluu, as was I.Nag'molada: The Chamber of Eventide created by Dawnmaiden Yve'noile to heal the Kuluu people...to restore the whispers to their souls...
Nag'molada: I should have realized when Bahamut mentioned that name.
Nag'molada: Am I correct in assuming that the Zilart interfered in the investigation of Al'Taieu to hide the fact of its completion?
Nag'molada: Was my Kuluu talent in investigation so very valuable to you?
Esha'ntarl: ...
The celestial city of Al'Taieu was destroyed along with the Chamber of Eventide, ten thousand years ago.Esha'ntarl: No matter how much I explain, you will not believe me--but the Zilart still hold to this truth.
Nag'molada: When Al'Taieu was enfolded in the energy of the crystal, the power of the terrestrial avatars was absorbed by the city.
Nag'molada: That event caused an anomaly in space and time, bringing them from the ancient past to the present day...
Or so the theory goes.Nag'molada: As a Kuluu, I do not presume to speak for the beliefs of the Zilart...
Nag'molada: But I have received some fascinating insights from Diabolos.
Nag'molada: He claims that the celestial capital exists even now, beyond the fifth crystal.
Nag'molada: And that the Zilart people living in the city are alive and well.
Esha'ntarl: It cannot be...!
Nag'molada: This information must be verified.
I will travel beyond the distortion in space and time and see this place for myself.Nag'molada: And then I will use the Chamber of Eventide to gain immortality, as you have.
The whisper of the soul will be mine again.Esha'ntarl: Nag'molada...
Esha'ntarl: Your longing to become one of the Zilart led to your betrayal of the Kuluu...
Esha'ntarl: But you must not go to the capital.
Selh'teus has warned me.Esha'ntarl: Al'Taieu is no longer the homeland that we once knew.
It has become a tainted place. A forbidden place.Nag'molada: Forbidden?
Esha'ntarl: Use this to see into the soul of Selh'teus.
He will explain everything to you.Nag'molada: So I can let that traitor take control of my mind?
Nag'molada: For the moment, I will be satisfied with watching you die.
We'll just say that you were killed by Selh'teus, shall we?Esha'ntarl: ...!
Wait! If you spare me, I will give you anything you want!Nag'molada: You'll give me anything...!?
Ahahaha, you certainly were born of Kuluu stock!
Show me how far you have fallen!Esha'ntarl: ...
I am not the one who has fallen.Makki-Chebukki: And sold!
Kukki-Chebukki: To the young Tarutaru lady!
Cherukiki: Home delivery guaranteed!
Esha'ntarl: I truly appreciate your help.
A most reliable trio, indeed.Esha'ntarl: I doubt Nag'molada will be able to stay in Jeuno after this.
You have shown commendable judgment in this matter.Makki-Chebukki: 'Tweren't nothing!
Esha'ntarl: However, Selh'teus has gone...
Esha'ntarl: The celestial capital that Selh'teus showed me...
Could it be...Esha'ntarl: I think I understand...
Esha'ntarl: The battle with the wyrms is about to begin.
A meaningless war will soon be set in motion.(There is no other choice but to fight...
Great Goddess Altana... Bless us with the victory we need...)- Is this your doing?
