 * Altair: Thanks for volunteering, Player name.

Altair: According to a message we received from the Court of Jeuno, they want someone for a special mission.

Altair: At Delkfutt's Tower, you demonstrated bravery above and beyond the call of duty. That's why I want you to spearhead this mission.

Goggehn: This kind of thing is a great honor, Player name. I'm sure you'll gain the archduke's trust.


 * Proceed to the archduke's palace?
 * Right away.
 * Let me think about it.

Altair: That's the spirit!


 * Proceed to the archduke's palace?
 * Right away.
 * Let me think about it.

Altair: Don't stress over it. All new diplomatic personnel have to report to the archduke anyway. It's always darkest before the dawn, as they say.

Goggehn: Here's an archducal audience permit.

Altair: Our reputation with Jeuno depends on you. Don't let us down. !Script !Video

 * Kam'lanaut: So, you're the new attaché.

Kam'lanaut: I am Kam'lanaut, Archduke of Jeuno. I'd like your nation's help with a certain matter.

Eald'narche: Oh, a visitor?

Eald'narche: Hello there. My name's Eald'narche. Pleased to meet ya.

Kam'lanaut: This is my brother. Don't let him bother you.

Kam'lanaut: Now, let us get down to business. I summoned you here for a certain mission. Have you heard word of the Shadow Lord?

Eald'narche: My sources tell me that beastmen in Davoi, Beadeaux, and Castle Oztroja are conspiring to return him to Vana'diel.

Kam'lanaut: They seek to do so by harnessing the power of mysterious stones called magicite.

Kam'lanaut: To stop their nefarious plan, I want you to go to those three places and seize that magicite.

Kam'lanaut: Of course, I intend to reward you for a task of this magnitude. I will issue an airship pass upon receipt of the three magicite.

Kam'lanaut: With it, you can swiftly travel home, or to any civilized land, for that matter.

Eald'narche: So they're after magicite, are they? I wonder what this means... Take extra special care. The thought of a world under the control of the beastmen makes me shudder.

Eald'narche: I bet the beastmen have traps waiting. First, you've got to find out as much as you can.

Kam'lanaut: Eald'narche speaks the truth. Start by finding out what you can in town. I'm counting on you!

Mawl'gofaur: A moment, please.

Mawl'gofaur: By the order of His Grace, we have decided to seek the assistance of the Tenshodo, the organization run by that Aldo fellow.

Mawl'gofaur: This secret dispatch outlines our wishes. Would you be so kind as to deliver it to him?

Mawl'gofaur: He is a man of many talents. It would be wise to seek his acquaintance. Good luck! !Script !Video

 * Aldo: So you're the new diplomatic attaché. What, you've got a secret message from the archduke? Well, let me see it.

Aldo: I see. Thanks for getting this to me. It says I'm supposed to tell you about magicite.

Aldo: Magicite is found deep inside Castle Oztroja, Davoi, and Beadeaux. But those places are thick with beastmen, and those beastmen are quite cunning.

Aldo: You'll need this to get inside Beadeaux.

Verena: Aldo...

Aldo: What is it, Verena? Can't you see I have a guest?

Verena: I know. That's what it's about.

Verena: I heard that the archduke has made a statement...

Aldo: He's ordered all beastmen out of Jeuno. He must not think it's safe to have them around anymore.

Verena: What? I think those creeps in the palace are a lot worse than any beastmen we have here!

Verena: It's like they're wearing masks...you can't tell what they're thinking. And their eyes are like cold stones. You're not gonna follow that order, are you?

Aldo: Well, I know how you feel, but with beastmen on the rampage out there, you can't blame people for feeling jittery about the ones in here.

Aldo: You've heard about all that, haven't you?

Verena: Yeah, I've heard. But the beastmen in town haven't ever hurt anybody!

Aldo: I know that, Verena... But I don't think the average Jeunoan would agree.

Verena: No...

Aldo: Maybe it's the wise thing to do. You know, taking action before things get out of hand.

Aldo: Well, I'll see if I can think up a better alternative. Don't worry. I'd be the last guy to chase them out of town.

Verena: Okay. You promised, remember!

Fickblix: Verena...

Aldo: Oh!

Verena: Fickie!

Verena: Ficke... Are you all right?

Fickblix: Thats a weird thing to ask. I'm always all right. How about you? You look pale!

Verena: Oh, um... No. No, I'm fine.

Fickblix: Oh, all right. Well, let's get going!

Verena: Um, okay. !Script !Video

 * Francmage: You called for me, Your Majesty?

Destin: Francmage? I was not expecting you so soon. Monarlais...tell him.

Periduque: Yes, sire.

Periduque: Francmage, I've summoned you here today to talk about one thing--the Northlands investigation.

Francmage: Oh, yes, that. Those Bastoker Humes are causing no end of trouble--saying they want to investigate here, there, and the other place...

Muchavatte: It is true! The Humes are fools, and no better. Can they truly believe that some ancient power lies hidden in that forsaken wasteland?

Muchavatte: Hah! Do they hope to find the gates to eternal Paradise there, in that lair of fiends most uncouth? Preposterous!

Periduque: We must take control of this situation immediately. Still, we cannot let them walk about the Northlands freely. Who knows what they're plotting under the guise of this "investigation."

Periduque: Francmage, listen. Go with the investigation party, and keep a close eye on what our foreign "friends" do. They are up to something, it is certain.

Periduque: I am sure nothing will come of this, but in case they do find something in that wasteland, do not let them take it. Understood?

Francmage: As you command, my lord. I would give the very blood that runs in my veins if it were to further the cause of our kingdom. You can rely on me.

Muchavatte: These foreigners are wily and faithless. Never let down your guard, and may the Goddess of the Dawn protect you in Her mercy.

Muchavatte: The king has taken a beautiful queen, and I think a splendid addition to the royal family is not far off. An heir, perhaps...

Muchavatte: We people of San d'Oria, too, must ever look to the future. The Elvaan must never fall behind foreigners, in power or faith.

Francmage: I understand, Your Grace.

Destin: Very good. Do well, Francmage.

Francmage: Yes, sire! My life for the kingdom!

Francmage: As I thought, there is nothing here... Only barren wastelands as far as the eye can see.

Iru-Kuiru: But there is something wrong about this place, I can feel it. I don't think-wink we should leave Xarcabard yet.

Rabntah: I agree. My nose has never failed me, but I don't smell anything. That's not normal. Something really terrrible must've happened here a long time ago.

Francmage: Ridiculous. We cannot base our decisions on your feelings alone. You can stay and look for whatever "terrible thing" is supposed to be here, but I--

Ulrich: Help! Come quick! Raogrimm and Cornelia, they--

Francmage: Ulrich? What happened!?

Ulrich: We were attacked by fiends, and Raogrimm and Cornelia fell down a crevice...

Iru-Kuiru: Oh, no! Oh, no!

Rabntah: Grr! Where!?

Ulrich: This way!

Iru-Kuiru: Raogrimm and Cornelia...where could they have gone?

Rabntah: We have to assume the worrrst. If I can't find them, no one can.

Francmage: Why must Humes and Galka be so irresponsible!? It is their fault for wandering off without telling us!

Francmage: There are too few of us left to continue. I say we go back. Besides, we would find nothing even if we stayed.

Rabntah: I second that. I've had enough of this crrreepy place anyway.

Iru-Kuiru: B-but, there are still places we haven't looked--

Francmage: We have seen enough. There is nothing here but dust and ruins.

Francmage: We accomplished nothing but losing two members of our party and wasting an extraordinary amount of time...

Ulrich: Yeah, you're right. This whole expedition was a failure. Let's head back tomorrow.

Francmage: Ulrich. Tell me something... Was it really an accident?

Ulrich: What do you mean?

Francmage: Is it not true that there is some...shall we say, tension, between Humes and Galka in Bastok these days?

Ulrich: Are you accusing me of something, Elvaan?

Francmage: Hah! Calm down. I do not care if it was an accident or not. I care even less about your little country's problems.

Francmage: Just...do not cause any more trouble with such trivial matters while I am around. That is all.

Ulrich: ...

Courisaille: It is quite late to be up and about, Sir Francmage. Is something wrong?

Francmage: Ah, Courisaille. It's nothing. I could not sleep, so I decided to take a walk. Leave me; I am fine.

Courisaille: Yes, sir.

Francmage: No! Not you...? Raogrimm? What do you mean!? He died in an accident! I know nothing!

Courisaille: Sir Francmage? Are you all right, sir?

Francmage: Stop! Do not come any further! No, nooo--

Courisaille: ... S-Sir...Francmage?

Lion: So that's what magicite looks like.

Lion: What could they possibly want with it?

Lion: What the...?

Shadow of Darkness: You are too late. I have awoken.

Shadow of Darkness: Your rage, cowardice, envy, arrogance, and apathy...From these I will spread the bane of Vana'diel.

Lion: Who are you!?

Shadow of Darkness: Your kind has awoken me...and this time, you will be destroyed!

Shadow of Darkness: You cannot stop me. Vana'diel will be a grave for you and all your kind!

Lion: The Shadow Lord!? It can't be! His powers have returned!

Lion: Then it is true! The beastmen are trying to resurrect the Shadow Lord. !Script !Video

 * Blamor: Those "explosives"--pretty amazing, aren't they?

Omran: Indeed. Without them, we would not have been able to dig that mine. Now, finally, we can compete with San d'Oria for power.

Blamor: Heh, Quadav aren't good enough to live in there! One blast should take care of them...

Babenn: ...

Raogrimm: What is the matter, Babenn?

Babenn: Lord Raogrimm... We've found the Quadav temple in the mines, as you suspected. I-I could not stop them.

Raogrimm: That is unfortunate... As always, they don't even try to understand.

Ulrich: Huh. Nothing. With all the Quadav guarding the place, you think we'd find a treasure or two!

Ulrich: C'mon, let's move! Let's just finish this job and go.

Cornelia: Ulrich, wait!

Raogrimm: As I thought...they were trying to protect their eggs...

Raogrimm: But they don't even try to understand...

Ulrich: Is that all you've got, Raogrimm!?

Raogrimm: Ulrich, why!?

Ulrich: Why? Because I never liked you, that's why!

Raogrimm: You will never get away with this, Ulrich!

Ulrich: Watch me!

Raogrimm: ...Cornelia!?

Ulrich: Wh-what have I done!?

Raogrimm: Why...!?

Cornelia: I...couldn't let you die here, Raogrimm... There are people who need you...

Raogrimm: Cornelia!!!

Raogrimm: No... NOOOOO!

Lion: So, that's what magicite looks like.

Lion: What are they trying to do with it, though?

Lion: !!!

Shadow of Darkness: You are too late... I have already awakened.

Shadow of Darkness: Your rage, cowardice, envy, arrogance, and apathy...from these I will spread the bane of Vana'diel.

Lion: Who are you!?

Shadow of Darkness: Your kind awakened me...and this time, you will be destroyed!

Shadow of Darkness: You cannot stop me. Vana'diel will be the grave for you and all your kind!

Lion: The Shadow Lord!? It can't be! His powers have returned!?

Lion: Then it is true. The beastmen are trying to bring back the Shadow Lord.

Lion: ...Be careful. !Script !Video

Paya-Sabya: Hi, Fickie! Hi, Verena!

Fickblix: So, still no sprout, huh?

Paya-Sabya: I know, it's such a bummer-wummer. I water them every-wevery day, though!

Geebeh: They'll never grow.

Geebeh: Water 'em all you want. No way Fickie's seeds'll ever sprout here in Jeuno. Ever!

Verena: Look, why don't you just hush! You never know till you try.

Geebeh: Oh! You're always on Fickie's side, aren't ya?

Fickblix: I think they'll sprout.

Verena: Huh?

Fickblix: Everyone talks to me now that I've planted them. That makes me so happy.

Fickblix: So, even if the flowers never bloom, it was still good.

Verena: Fickie...

Geebeh: Whatever!

Fickblix: I have to get back to Muck's. I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Verena: Take care, Fickblix. I'm going home, too.

Paya-Sabya: I hope they sprouty-wout tomorrow! Bye!

Fickblix: Thanks for everything.

Fickblix: And thanks for bringing the fertilizer, Geebeh.

 * Muckvix: Castle Oztroja? What you gonna go there for? Well, you can go get killed for all I care. Ain't got nothin' to do with me!

Muckvix: But, hey, you gotta have a Yagudo torch to get in there. And not just any old torch... You need a special one from a tree on the Sauromugue Champaign!

Muckvix: And whaddaya know... We're all outta the stuff! Maybe Fickie's got some extra. He stops by Oztroja once in a while.

Muckvix: He's out on the streets again, ain't he? I can never figger out why he's gotta be so buddy-buddy with all them people!

Fickblix: Muck, I'm home!

Muckvix: Well, speak of the devil! Hey, you got a Yagudo torch on ya?

Fickblix: Yeah, I've got one.

Muckvix: Well, cough it up for this sweetheart right here.

Fickblix: No problem. I was just going to head out to Castle Oztroja right now.

Muckvix: Hey, whaddaya tryin' to say? I never asked you to head out there.

Fickblix: I was just playing with Verena, but she's feeling down. And I know why.

Fickblix: The beasties outside town are getting restless. That makes Verena worried. So I'm going to Oztroja and ask them to settle down.

Fickblix: I think the beasties outside can get along with people, like I could with Verena. I really believe so.

Muckvix: Yeah, maybe you got a point there.

Fickblix: Well, I'm off.

Muckvix: Hey, Fickie...

Fickblix: Yeah, Muck?

Muckvix: You be careful out there.

Fickblix: I'll be okay. They'll listen to me.

Muckvix: Yeah, my generation can't forget the war, so it's real hard to relate.

Muckvix: But you kids don't remember none of that. So I think you can bridge the gap. Yeah, for all of us!

Verena: Fickie? Is Fickie here?

Muckvix: Hey, you just missed him. Said somethin' about goin' to Castle Oztroja. You didn't see him on your way in here?

Verena: No, it's just... Some adventurers said they were going out to hunt beastmen, so I got so worried...

Verena: I always told him to stay here in town. I told him if people found him in a dungeon somewhere, they might mistake him for a bad beastman, and then they'd...

Muckvix: Ain't nothin' you can do. That kid's a beastie, and even the people in this town give us the cold shoulder.

Muckvix: Well, he don't belong out there none neither... But I still think he's safer out there than in here.

Verena: I'm so worried about him.

Muckvix: That girl understands things that only us beasties do. Maybe Fickie and her can break down the walls that keep us apart.

Muckvix: I just hope they watch out for those guys cravin' that mysterious power.

Muckvix: Oops... Hey, forget about it. !Script !Video

 * Star Sibyl: Summoning, you say?

Karaha-Baruha: Yes, I would like to name this magic "summoning."

Karaha-Baruha: The divine texts depict it in the form of the Star Sybil commanding a great beast.

Karaha-Baruha: At any rate, we are very close. Soon, the magic of summoning will be complete.

Star Sibyl: Hmmm...

Karaha-Baruha: Are you uneasy, Your Holiness?

Star Sibyl: Yes... Very.

Star Sibyl: Time is of the essence. The lines of battle are at Tahrongi Canyon, and draw close to Sarutabaruta.

Star Sibyl: The attack on Oztroja shall fail, and many flames of life will be extinguished...like the Star Reading, long ago.

Karaha-Baruha: Place your trust in me, Your Holiness. Windurst shall escape its fate of ruin.

Karaha-Baruha: The Book of the Gods has taught me everything.

Karaha-Baruha: It told me the meaning of the tower and the fountain. And it has taught me how to command the greatest of beasts.

Ajido-Marujido: Shoo! Shoo! Keep your grimy claws off of Windurst Orastery miniter, Ajido-Marujido!

Yagudo Avatar: You are a fool for coming here to the throne room...alone.

Yagudo Avatar: You say you are the Windurst Orastery minister, Ajido-Marujido?

Yagudo Templar: Gawk! Orastery minister? And I am Aviatory minister! How do we know what you speak is not lies? Gawk!

Yagudo Templar: I should cut you up and send you to Heavens Tower! Gawk! Gawk!

Yagudo Avatar: Kahk! Silence... Our little friend came all the way from Windurst to greet us. Let us hear what he has to say.

Yagudo Avatar: Kahk-ka-ka! You came all this way to ask about the Full Moon Fountain?

Yagudo Avatar: Well, you Tartutaru have probably already realized why the Horutoto ruins were built and why the Full Moon Fountain exists underneath them.

Yagudo Avatar: Those ruins are evil.

Yagudo Avatar: The towers sponge dry the areas around Sarutabaruta of all their magic.

Yagudo Avatar: You think that we Yagudo are the cause of these wastelands, but you only have yourselves to thank. You--the Tarutaru that activated those towers!

Ajido-Marujido: The towers are all damaged! How do you explain magic still being drained from the plains of Sarutabaruta?

Ajido-Marujido: What about you Yagudo? What are those things that you continue digging? Those stones...maybe they are the cause of all this?

Yagudo Avatar: Kahk-ka-ka...I commend you on your perceptiveness.

Yagudo Avatar: But the reason Sarutabaruta is becoming a wasteland has nothing to do with those stones.

Yagudo Avatar: That night, twenty years ago, when we were defeated by your armies, you made a grave mistake...

Yagudo Avatar: Kahk! Kahk! You still do not understand?

Yagudo Avatar: Make your way deep into the central tower of the Horutoto Ruins. There you will see first hand what the Star Sibyl and those summoners really did.

Yagudo Avatar: The moon and the stars no longer smile upon Windurst. Now, the world shall kneel before the Yagudo!

Star Sibyl: Stars of the heavens, tell me what to do!

Star Sibyl: Tell me, Karaha-Baruha! Help me!

Lion: What happened? Are you all right?

Lion: So, that's what magicite looks like.

Lion: What could they possibly want with it?

Lion: What the...!?

Shadow of Darkness: You are too late... I have already awakened.

Shadow of Darkness: Your anger, cowardice, envy, arrogance, and apathy... from these I will spread the bane that will destroy Vana'diel.

Lion: Who are you!?

Shadow of Darkness: Your kind has awakened me...and this time, you will be destroyed!

Shadow of Darkness: You cannot stop me. Vana'diel will be the grave for you and all your kind!

Lion: Was that a phantom? An image...of the Shadow Lord?

Lion: The Shadow Lord? It can't be! His powers can't have returned!

Lion: Then it is true. The beastmen are trying to bring the Shadow Lord back.

Lion: You be careful, too. !Script !Video

 * Kam'lanaut: Magicite! Yes, these stones emit the same power as crystals. Though impure, that power is great indeed.

Kam'lanaut: Now it is clear why the beastmen gathered where they did. They were drawn to the magicite's great power!

Kam'lanaut: Yes, it is time to eradicate the beastmen threat once and for all.

Kam'lanaut: I thank you for your service. Here is an airship pass. With it, you may travel to any nation you please.

Mawl'gofaur: The three stones are incomplete, but with the powers of the fourth stone that rests deep beneath Castle Zvahl...

Mawl'gofaur: Perhaps then the Shadow Lord will rise again.

Kareh'ayollio: Of course, the talisman that seals Zvahl's inner depths was put in place over twenty years ago. It would stop any attempt.

Kareh'ayollio: I've also read that the three keys to open the seal were kept safely by the three great nations...

High Wind: Your Grace!

Kam'lanaut: What is it?

High Wind: Dire news, Your Grace! The leaders of all three nations have been attacked!

Kam'lanaut: Attacked... By beastmen?

High Wind: Yes, Your Grace.

Kam'lanaut: Confound them! They're one step ahead of us.

Kam'lanaut: So, they seek to resurrect the Shadow Lord... Quite a lofty goal for the beastmen.

Kam'lanaut: So be it, then. Perhaps you should return to your embassy.

Kam'lanaut: I will call for your aid again soon. Until then, be well.

Eald'narche: Hey, what's going on? Oh, you don't have to tell me.

Eald'narche: Oh, so you went to Castle Oztroja and met a girl named Verena there.

Eald'narche: And she gets along with the beastmen. Wow, so maybe we could get along.

Eald'narche: Hey, Wolfgang! Wolfie, you here?

Wolfgang: What would you ask of me, Lord Eald'narche?

Eald'narche: Could you find someone named Verena and bring her here? I heard she's Aldo's little sister.

Wolfgang: Of course, my lord. But may I ask why? She seems of...questionable intentions.

Eald'narche: I think she has some nifty powers, so I just want to play with her. That's all.

Eald'narche: Oh, and don't tell this to Kam'lanaut. I want to surprise him.

Wolfgang: As you wish, my lord.

Eald'narche: Heh. I can't wait!
