Lv.60 Towards the Firmament (여는 퀘스트)

Recruitment Notice: “Let it be known that large-scale reconstruction works aimed at revitalizing the Holy See of Ishgard have been approved by the Houses of Lords and Commons.

Recruitment Notice: “Selected as the principal site for the project is the Firmament district, which sustained extensive damage during the war.

Recruitment Notice: “Willing and able hands are now sought to contribute to the reconstruction effort, regardless of birth and origin.

Recruitment Notice: “From those skilled in gathering from the land to those adept at creating with their hands, the project's needs are great and diverse.

Recruitment Notice: “Contributions will not go unrewarded. Interested parties are invited to present themselves in the Firmament.”

Thomelin: Well met, friend. Answering the call of the Firmament, are you? Wonderful, wonderful!

Thomelin: ...Wait! I-I know you! You're the savior of Ishgard!

Thomelin: Are you saying that you would contribute to the reconstruction project!?

Thomelin: To think that a fabled hero such as you would help to rebuild our city... We are grateful beyond words!

Thomelin: There is, er...just one trifling matter. Do you perchance possess a work permit? It is a requirement for non-Ishgardians, you see...

Thomelin: Is that so... As I recall, you are a ward of House Fortemps. In which case, perhaps an exception can be made. Alas, I don't have the authority to make such a decision.

???: Well, I do─and I believe the permit can be overlooked in her case.

Thomelin: L-Lord Overseer! That you should grace us again!

Francel: Greetings, my friend. It has been quite a while. Indeed, I shouldn't be surprised if you have forgotten me.

Francel: Honored am I that you should remember me. Much and more has happened since first we met, not least of all the war's end and Ishgard's transformation.

Francel: It feels like an age ago that you and Lord Haurchefant saved me from a heretic's fate. You had proven your worth to me then. Even so, little did I expect that you would go on to save our entire nation.

Francel: You are a hero to us all, and no amount of words could express my gratitude. No, only through action could I begin to repay the debt.

Francel: Thus did I resolve to do my part for Ishgard, that I might honor those noble souls who risked life and limb to protect the nation─souls such as you and Lord Haurchefant.

Francel: And so, when an overseer was being sought for the restoration project, I put forth my candidacy as the representative of my house. Our workshops and engineers could be put to good use, I reasoned.

Francel: It was by no means unanimous, but the Fury saw fit to see me elected to the office. Honored am I for this opportunity to serve the nation─and to redeem House Haillenarte's good name.

Francel: Owing to the contribution of artisans hailing from far and wide, we have accomplished our goal of rebuilding the district. However, we are still shorthanded in the area of administration, on account of which I have been performing such odd tasks as I could.

Francel: Which is what brings me here today, as a matter of fact. I am about to go and survey our citizens in order to learn what they envision for the Firmament.

Francel: If you can spare a moment, might I have the pleasure of your company? Well traveled as you are, your opinion would be of great interest to me, and I believe folk would be more willing to share their thoughts with you.

Francel: You have my gratitude. Without further ado, then, let us take ourselves to the Jeweled Crozier. We are bound to find a diverse assortment of people there.

Francel: Yes, this should be a suitable spot.

Hilda: Well, well. I come here to get supplies for the watch, and what should I find but a familiar face.

Hilda: And if that ain't a pretty lad you've got with you, Ciel, and a highborn one besides. You've done well for yourself.

Hilda: Heh, I'm teasin', is all. Anyroad, it's good to see you, my friend. What brings you here?

Francel: Lady Hilda, your reputation precedes you. As you may be aware, approval was recently passed for the restoration of the Firmament. In order to build a district that best serves its residents, we would know what good citizens such as yourself envision for it. Will you not share with us your thoughts?

Hilda: Ahhh, so you're the one they appointed overseer. Well then, you won't mind if I speak freely.

Hilda: Now, this ain't hardly revolutionary, but I want the Firmament to be a place we can all make an honest livin'. Where, if a man works hard enough, he can have a roof over his head and food in his belly.

Eudestand: Aye, might be as the war's over, but for a lot of us the struggle continues, same as afore. The sort o' struggle blue bloods will never know.

Hilda: Remember, Ishgard don't belong only to the high and the holy now. If the nation's to prosper, all her citizens need to prosper.

Hilda: Well, we must be gettin' on. But if you've need of guards, feel free to send word. If the coin's fair, I reckon we can come to an arrangement.

Francel: Ah, that there is Lord Briardien. I had heard that he was traveling the realm in his capacity as a consulting inspector, but it appears he has returned to Ishgard.

Francel: Like your good self, he is a well-traveled individual, and I should like to inquire after his opinion. Do you suppose we could beg a moment of his time?

Briardien: If it is an inspector you seek, you shan't find one more capable. Indeed, you could do worse─far worse.

Francel: Lord Briardien, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Francel de Haillenarte, and I have the honor of overseeing the reconstruction of the Firmament.

Francel: It is known that you are intimately familiar with all the city-states of Eorzea, and I should be much obliged for your insights. In your expert opinion, what is the one thing you believe that the Firmament needs most?

Briardien: Hm... If the district is to thrive, then it must have a thriving economy. As I have oft observed in my travels, the flow of goods and people is as lifeblood to a city and should be encouraged.

Briardien: Ishgard has long been insular, but the recent changes present a great opportunity. Given the right planning, I am hopeful that ours may become a nation where no citizen lives in want.

Briardien: I bid you the very best in your endeavors. And should you have need of my investigative prowess, do not hesitate to call upon me. By your leave.

Emmanellain: Ciel, I was wondering when you would notice me! Ever a pleasure to see you, old girl!

Emmanellain: And if it isn't my dear Lord Francel! How fares your lovely sister? Has she perchance spoken of me of late?

Francel: If Laniaitte has spoken of you, I fear it has not been in our conversations.

Francel: Now, if I may change the subject, Lord Emmanellain, you will have heard that the restoration of the Firmament has commenced. Is there aught that you envision for the district?

Emmanellain: What I envision? I can't say I've given it much thought...

Emmanellain: Well, what with the war finally come to an end, what is in order if not festivities? Yes, make the Firmament into a festive place, I say! A place where one and all may engage in revelry each and every day!

Honoroit: Beg pardons, my lord, but I believe Lord Francel seeks something more specific and, dare I say, constructive.

Francel: No, no, the advice comes from the heart, and I shall take it to heart. You have my gratitude, Lord Emmanellain.

Emmanellain: Always a pleasure to aid a fellow man! Now then, we must be on our way. Take care, Ciel, and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Emmanellain: Oh, and Lord Francel─do send my fondest regards to your sister. Tell her...how very helpful I was. Yes, that's good.

Francel: Well, I daresay we have spoken with enough people. Shall we conclude the surveying and review what we have learned?

Francel: Thanks to your presence, we were able to hear a diverse variety of opinions. Each one has merit─the question is whether the visions can be made reality...

Francel: No, no, such pessimism will not serve. I must have faith and try my earnest best.

Francel: Now then, for all this talk of the Firmament, you haven't even seen it, have you? Would you care to inspect it with me?

Francel: I will be there for a while hence, so please join me at your leisure. Thomelin by the entrance will show you to the district.

Francel: Oh, and when you see the man, would you mind giving him this? 'Tis bone-chilling work, standing there as he does, and it is a little something to keep him warm.

Francel: I could as easily hand it to him, to be sure, but it would be all the more warming coming from the savior of Ishgard.

Francel: With that, I shall go on ahead. See you in the Firmament, my friend.

Thomelin: Welcome back, my lady! Will you be heading to the Firmament?

Thomelin: From the lord overseer, you say? He truly is too kind!

Thomelin: Before I began working under Lord Francel, I had thought as little of highborns as I assumed they thought of us commoners. But my lord not only treats everyone as equals─he shows kindness to everyone.

Thomelin: And to receive this gift from the hands of the savior of Ishgard herself... I am touched beyond words. <sniff>

Thomelin: Thank you, my lady! I shall enjoy the wine when I find a quiet moment!

Thomelin: Now then, I believe Lord Francel is expecting you in the Firmament. Just say the word, and I will show you through.

(At the Firmanent)

Francel: There you are, Ciel. I bid you welcome to the Firmament!

Francel: As you can see, the rebuilding itself is complete. This is but the beginning, however, and we must now turn our attention to the running of the district.

Francel: We have much and more to do, but speaking to the people has stoked the fires of my determination. I want to make the Firmament into a vibrant, thriving district where highborn and lowborn alike may live side by side in harmony.

Francel: Yet I would be lying were I to say the task does not daunt me. There is a limit to what I can achieve, especially given House Haillenarte's diminished influence...

???: Have I come at a bad time?

Francel: C-Count Edmont!

Francel: To what do we owe the honor...?

Count Edmont de Fortemps: Lest you forget, I am the Count de Fortemps no more. Just a retired old man.

Count Edmont de Fortemps: As for my presence here, Emmanellain reported that Ciel was in Ishgard, and I thought I would make a social call.

Count Edmont de Fortemps: You will forgive me my eavesdropping, but it seems the reconstruction project is not immune to the uncertainty that has accompanied our nation's transition to a republic.

Count Edmont de Fortemps: Ciel─I am given to understand that the other nations have established residential districts for adventurer use. Is this true?

Francel: There are districts specifically for adventurer use, and you possess an abode in one such place? I should like to pay you a visit one day, my friend!

Count Edmont de Fortemps: The truth is, our nation is divided by a gulf. While the redistribution of wealth may go some ways towards closing this gulf, it shall not lead to true independence for the masses.

Count Edmont de Fortemps: We must ask ourselves, in this new age in which we live, what role should each one of us play? In pondering this dilemma, I believe that we may draw inspiration from adventurers and their independent lives.

Francel: Independent lives... If we were to translate this into the Firmament, might it not assume the form of self-administration?

Count Edmont de Fortemps: It seems you have found a spark. In which case, this old man's ramblings have served their purpose. I shall pray for your success, Lord Francel.

Francel: Your words are as a beacon in the dark, my lord. Thank you.

Count Edmont de Fortemps: Well, Ciel, you seem to be occupied at present, so I will leave you to your tasks. But when next we meet, I hope to be regaled with your recent adventures. As ever, our Fortemps Manor is at your disposal should you need a rest.

???: You done talkin', Francel? 'Cause I'm itchin' to meet your hero friend.

Francel: Yes, forgive me for the wait.

Francel: Ciel, permit me to introduce you to Augebert. Formerly an engineer of our house, he now serves as the project's chief foreman.

Francel: It is thanks to his leadership on-site that I am able to focus my energies on the administrative aspects of the reconstruction.

Augebert: Francel's told me all about you, Ciel. First you save the whole bleedin' nation, now you're helping us rebuild it brick by brick. What can I say except it's great to have you on board.

Augebert: If you have any questions about the work, I'd be happy to field them. Just save the tedious stuff like the budget for Francel, eh?

Francel: Speaking of which, if you can spare another moment, my friend, I should like to consult you on some administrative matters.

Francel: With all the little tasks demanding my time, I cannot always be present on-site, but I endeavor to visit as often as possible─and I hope to see you often too!

(연 직후의 NPC 대사)

Aurvael: By the Fury, you are the savior of Ishgard! That our paths should cross here could only be attributed to fate!

Aurvael: Pray allow me to introduce myself. I am Aurvael de Haillenarte, second son of Count Baurendouin, and I have the honor of overseeing our nation's expeditions to the Diadem.

Flotpassant: My lady Ciel, what an honor! Have you business with Lord Aurvael?

Ludovraint: My name is Ludovraint, and I would offer you my services...but you appear to me a lost lamb, unready for the long journey ahead. Perhaps we shall speak again when you find your path.

Lizbeth: Oh, greetings, my lady! We're in the midst of preparing a new initiative for our friends of the Firmament. We ask for your patience meanwhile.

Augebert 퀘스트

Augebert: Right, Ciel. If you're gonna lend us a hand, a little explanation is in order.

Augebert: First thing I want to talk about is that there skybuilders' board.

Augebert: Most of what's written there is for newcomers, though I reckon it never hurts for even veterans to give it a look from time to time. 'Sides that, we try to keep a record of our progress to date, that it might guide us goin' forward.

Augebert: Now then, let's talk about the work itself. The main thing we need our artisans to do is provide us with supplies.

Augebert: On that topic, I reckon it's quicker if you speak with Potkin over there. Run along and introduce yourself to him.

Augebert: Potkin over there can tell you all about the supplies we need. Run along and introduce yourself to him.

Potkin 퀘스트

Potkin: Ah, my lady Ciel! The chief foreman mentioned that you'd be helping us. It'd be my pleasure to explain the work to you!

Potkin: Though the reconstruction effort itself is complete, we remain in need of supplies for maintenance and upkeep of the Firmament.

Potkin: The items you donate will be put to use for building inspection and repair, as well as to provide necessary services to all those who call the district home.

Potkin: Items you wish to donate can be brought to myself. Feel free to ask me any time about what we seek.

Potkin: Naturally, you'll be rewarded for your contributions. Depending on the item, we'll present you with an amount in skybuilders' scrips.

Potkin: Oh, and I should mention that we've introduced an initiative to provide additional incentive and excitement to collaborators such as your good self.

Potkin: The initiative takes the form of a game of chance called the Kupo of Fortune.

Potkin: Permit me to give you a brief overview.

Potkin: When you donate certain items to us, you will receive a stamp upon a voucher.

Potkin: Once you have collected five stamps, you may take the voucher to Lizbeth for your chance to win a splendid prize.

Potkin: If you wish to know more, I recommend you speak with Lizbeth herself.

Lizbeth 퀘스트

Lizbeth: If you are interested in kupo nuts, I'm afraid I cannot assist. But if you're interested in the Kupo of Fortune, you've come to the right place, kupo!

Lizbeth: If it please you, I shall explain how the game works.

Lizbeth: Upon each Kupo of Fortune card, there are four hexagons, each depicting a treasure chest provided courtesy of our moogle friends.

Lizbeth: Playing is simple: you scratch open a chest of your choice.

Lizbeth: If the chest holds something from first to fourth prize, congratulations! The fabulous item shown on the prize list is yours!

Lizbeth: But be fairly warned: a ferocious beast lies in wait for hapless treasure hunters. Should you find a griffin instead, you must console yourself with a consolation prize.

Lizbeth: Now, for some important details. The chest on the left holds only second, third, and fourth prizes. Meaning, while you cannot win first prize, neither is there the danger of finding a griffin.

Lizbeth: The three chests on the right, meanwhile, can hold any of the four prizes as well as a griffin. Meaning, while you have a chance to reap the richest reward, you may also walk away with a paltry prize. Which side you scratch open is entirely your choice.

Lizbeth: As the prizes on offer change each time you play, be sure to cast an eye over the prize list before trying your luck.

Lizbeth: That concludes the explanation. If you wish to review the rules, I will post the information to the skybuilders' board, so please refer to it at your leisure.

Lizbeth: Oh, and may I ask if you've been informed about exchanging skybuilders' scrips? If not, I urge you to seek out Enie for the details.

Enie 퀘스트

Enie: Welcome, my lady! You honor us with not only your presence, but your contribution besides!

Enie: Now, you may have heard that contributing to the cause earns you skybuilders' scrips. These may be brought here to be exchanged for a selection of wares.

Enie: We endeavor to expand the range of items offered, that we might continue to attract contributors, even now that the reconstruction effort itself has been completed.

Enie: Aside from donating items, you may also earn scrips by bringing materials gathered in the Diadem. Have you been informed about these, perchance?

Enie: If not, Flotpassant will be able to furnish you with the particulars. Meanwhile, I shall look forward to exchanging many scrips for you!

Flotpassant 퀘스트

Flotpassant: My lady Ciel, what an honor! How may I serve you this day?

Flotpassant: You have a mind to employ your gathering skills for the benefit of the restoration effort, you say? Marvelous, marvelous! It shall be my pleasure to provide you with an explanation of our work!

Flotpassant: As you're doubtless already aware, the Firmament's reconstruction demands a veritable mountain of materials. In order to meet this need, it was decided that we would harness the Diadem's abundance of resources.

Flotpassant: Able gatherers such as your good self may venture forth to the isles and bring back materials to be used in the Firmament's reconstruction.

Flotpassant: Given the nature of the isles, however, we must make certain that materials found there are not...shall we say, tainted, before we put them to use.

Flotpassant: To that end, we ask that you bring all the items you have gathered to myself for inspection.

Flotpassant: Those items that are deemed safe will be returned to you with a seal of approval.

Flotpassant: And lest you wonder─yes, fish are also subject to inspection.

...By your puzzled expression, I see you struggle to fathom what use the restoration effort has for fish.

Flotpassant: You see, the fish that inhabit the Diadem are known to consume unusual things, and through inspection, we determine whether a creature holds resources in its belly. Once this is confirmed, you may help yourself to the bounty with a quick spot of desynthesis.

Flotpassant: Now then, you are surely curious as to what you stand to gain for your troubles. In recognition of the dangers of the Diadem, we offer skybuilders' scrips by way of recompense.

Flotpassant: Furthermore, all materials you find are yours to do with as you please. For whether you choose to sell them to crafters or craft with them yourself, they will ultimately benefit the reconstruction!

Flotpassant: And that concludes my explanation. If you've a mind to travel to the Diadem for this endeavor, pray present yourself to Lord Aurvael beside me for further information.

Aurvael 퀘스트

Aurvael: Ah, my lady Ciel, you are well come. I take it you have received an overview of our part in the restoration effort. It shall be my pleasure to apprise you of all the details.

Aurvael: As you are doubtless aware, the Diadem is a land where the aether is in constant flux. This phenomenon gives rise to an ever-changing environment, but if there has been one constant, it is that the isles have always teemed with savage creatures.

Aurvael: Yet when I recently journeyed there to investigate a change in the aether, what should I find but that the population of dangerous fauna has markedly decreased! Never has it been easier to avail ourselves of the Diadem's bounty!

Aurvael: Seeing the potential for this development to benefit Ishgard, I presented this discovery to our nation's leaders, who wasted no time designating the isles as an official foraging ground for the restoration project.

Aurvael: And now, we seek those versed in the field of foraging to travel to the Diadem and bring back resources needed for the Firmament's reconstruction.

Aurvael: Lest you worry that pickaxes, hatchets, and fishing rods provide poor protection against those creatures that still lurk the isles, never fear. We have measures to keep our valued volunteers safe.

Aurvael: Behold the aetheromatic auger!

Aurvael: Conceived by none other than my lord brother Stephanivien, this ingenious contraption is a marvel of personal protection and resource procurement. Permit me to explain.

Aurvael: As you know, the isles of the Diadem are replete with aether. The auger gradually absorbs it as you go about your foraging.

Aurvael: Once you have sufficient aether stored, you may unleash a compressed blast of it against a hapless fiend, and presto! The creature is now a bounty of resources!

Aurvael: ...And there you have it. Armed with the auger, we ask that you gather and bring back resources from the Diadem. It couldn't be simpler.

Aurvael: Ah, but to think that my lord brother's creation should benefit my venture, which in turn serves to aid the efforts of our younger brother─all for the benefit of our nation... Proud am I to call myself a Haillenarte.

Aurvael: But come, my friend! We mustn't dally while honor and glory await! Let us set forth for the Diadem at once!

...Is what I would say, but for the sake of formality, I am required to introduce you to someone.

Aurvael: Behind you and across from the kitchen, there stands Lord Ludovraint. Hailing from a long line of scholars, the man has a gift for numbers, and is charged with tallying skyward scores.

Aurvael: If you've a mind to lend us your procuring prowess, you would do well to speak with him.

-

Aurvael: Has anyone spoken to you of the materials we require for the current reconstruction phase?

Aurvael: While most are commonplace and can readily be had, some are unique to the project's needs. And I need hardly mention the resources found in the Diadem.

Aurvael: Rather than name each and every one of them here, I shall write a list in your log that you may peruse at your leisure.

Aurvael: I took the liberty of verifying your skills, and by all accounts, you are an accomplished gatherer. It shall be my pleasure to show you to the Diadem!

<Diadem>

Barnabaix: Our ship, the Bounty, was torn apart by the winds of the Diadem. Though we survived the crash, others were not so fortunate...and in the days that followed, still others fell victim to the beasts which roam these isles.

Barnabaix: At the time, we thought we might have to spend the rest of our lives here, which is why we set about constructing this camp from the wreckage.

Barnabaix: These days, there's no shortage of travelers come to forage these isles for their resources. At the Holy See's request, we offer them the use of our outpost, that they might rest and resupply─and retreat, should they find themselves overmatched.

Maunie: Since when did it get so cold in these parts!? I swear I'm about to freeze to death!

Cointiliaud: All the changes in the atmosphere have the auger working overtime. At this rate, though, I feel that living here in the long term is all but an impossibility.

Iofa: Drastic changes in the weather and atmosphere have had a profound effect on the flora in this area. You'd scarcely believe some of the more bizarre specimens I've witnessed in recent days.

Lyolf: To look at the Diadem now, you wouldn't think it used to be a place of danger and death, home to fiends that haunt your very nightmares.

Lyolf: But the promise of riches once drew many a sky pirate and adventurer here, and here they fought a vicious horde of ufitis. Not all lived to tell the tale.

Lyolf: The safety that we enjoy now, we owe in no small part to those courageous souls. We must see to it that their sacrifice isn't forgotten.

Ludovraint 퀘스트

Ludovraint: <gasp> I see them... Yes, I see them! The threads of fate entwine us, binding us together as strongly as chains of mythril! Heh heh heh, long have I awaited the coming of one such as you!

Ludovraint: ...Ahem. My apologies, but I am wont to become excited in the presence of peerless artisans. My name is Ludovraint, and I have the honor of tallying skyward scores.

Ludovraint: In order to accord greater recognition to our collaborators, we have begun keeping records of your contributions to the restoration effort.

Ludovraint: By donating items that are exceptionally difficult to obtain or craft, you will earn an amount in skyward points.

Ludovraint: Now that the reconstruction effort itself is over, we've shifted our focus to collecting essential items necessary for daily maintenance and upkeep. As such, I continue to tally accumulated scores for our skybuilders.

Ludovraint: Pass various point thresholds, and it would be our pleasure to reward you with an assortment of gifts as a token of our thanks for your efforts. Should you wish to know your current score at any time, you need only speak with me.

Ludovraint: If you wish to know more, I would be happy to assist. For the sake of good form, however, may I trouble you to first report back to Chief Foreman Augebert?

Augebert: There you are. I trust you've got a grasp of how things work 'round here now.

Augebert: And if you need to review somethin', the skybuilders' board's good for that.

Augebert: And that's all from me for now. I'll let you run along, but let me just say this: for a famous hero like you to help us here on the ground... You're a good sort, Ciel.
