Journal

Minfilia is waiting to brief you and your fellow Scions on a new development.
The Maelstrom has requested that the Scions slay the primal Titan, who has been summoned by a tribe of kobolds who reside near Limsa Lominsa. Report to High Storm Commander R'ashaht Rhiki at Maelstrom Command for further information.
Upon arriving at Maelstrom Command, you are received by Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn herself, who pledges the full support of the Maelstrom in the forthcoming operation. Before risking direct confrontation with Titan, Y'shtola proposes that you learn more about your foe by speaking to former members of the Company of Heroes─the famous band of mercenaries who defeated the dread primal once before. She directs you to the Grey Fleet mills in lower La Noscea, where one such individual is said to reside.
Your search leads you to Trachtoum, the self-proclaimed “best axeman” of the Company of Heroes. Explain the situation to him and see what he has to say.

Merlwyb
Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn leads the Maelstrom, which has asked the Scions to slay Titan.
What you know from earlier quests 9
- #6 Edelweiss, Edelweiss: The Encyclopaedia Eorzea says Admiral Merlwyb gave an order that banned piracy. After that order, a group called the Upright Thieves became the Rogues' Guild.
- #10 Close to Home: Murie says Admiral Merlwyb keeps several arcanists on her personal staff. Fearing their art would die out, as it passed only from master to chosen student, she ordered an official Arcanists' Guild and paid for research and training.
- #19 On to Summerford: Staelwyrn took Admiral Merlwyb's offer to put pirates stuck on land to work in the fields. The panel notes add that Summerford is part of Merlwyb's plan to end piracy by giving former pirates land to work.
- #69 Feint and Strike: Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of Limsa Lominsa, thanks you at the Coral Tower. You seem familiar to her. She calls Baderon a good friend and invites you to a banquet as guest of honor. Her names mean "Sea Woman" and "Blue Fish's daughter" in Roegadyn.
- #70 High Society: Merlwyb does not appear. Reyner says it is very rare for the Admiral to invite an adventurer to a state banquet. Baderon teases you as "Merlwyb's guest of honor."
- #71 A Mizzenmast Repast: Merlwyb tells of the lost Warriors of Light. She sees you as chosen by the Mothercrystal, the being in your vision, and has a task for you. Her father Bloefhis worked with the Sahagin; she challenged him to a duel and came back alone.
- #73 The Lominsan Envoy: Merlwyb proposes memorial services in each city-state on the fifth anniversary of the Battle of Carteneau. She makes you her personal envoy to Gridania and Ul'dah and gives you an airship pass. She says you have a quality that recalls history's champions.
- #111 A Hero in the Making: Merlwyb mourns Limsa Lominsa's dead from Carteneau and warns of the Sahagin, kobolds and Garleans. She says pirates and the Maelstrom must end their feuds and unite. A Storm officer says she often speaks of you.
- #113 Till Sea Swallows All: The personnel officer names her as Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn. Every Maelstrom soldier helps keep Limsa Lominsa afloat on whatever course she sets.
Y'shtola
Y'shtola is at the briefing and already knows of the Maelstrom's notes on the kobolds.
What you know from earlier quests 8
- #37 Lurkers in the Grotto: Her name is Y'shtola; she studies aether and hunts the kidnappers too. After you beat an enraged goobbue together, she finds a sailor's knife in it and suspects pirates. Your talk of a towering crystal surprises her. Staelwyrn vouches for her.
- #47 Just Deserts: After the golem fight, near Y'shtola you see a vision of her past: she fears the beast tribes may summon primals (summoned gods), as Louisoix foretold. She can see aether. She calls herself a naturalist, links the pirates to the Sahagin, and takes Sevrin home.
- #69 Feint and Strike: Y'shtola arrives when she senses the masked mage and fights beside you. She names him an Ascian, one of the "Bringers of Chaos" who steer the beast tribes. She is a Sharlayan and, surprised you know it, decides you have "a special gift."
- #71 A Mizzenmast Repast: Y'shtola sees an extraordinary glow and names it one of the Crystals of Light. She recalls the vision of a towering crystal you had after your encounter with the goobbue, and concludes that you bathed in Her Light. Merlwyb agrees.
- #97 Into a Copper Hell: She appears after you help the woman, saying she has watched you since you left Limsa Lominsa. She praises your humble, selfless deeds, but your visions interest her most; a friend shares that gift. She invites you to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
- #99 The Scions of the Seventh Dawn: Tataru is startled when you say you are here at Y'shtola's request, and quickly lets you in.
- #100 A Wild Rose by Any Other Name: Y'shtola is an Archon who looks after Limsa Lominsa. She says their leader was taken from them at the Battle of Carteneau. Then they found Minfilia and others with the Echo, a rare talent, and founded the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
- #135 Back from the Wood: Y'shtola warns the group not to grow complacent, as the calm lasts only for a time. She says the Maelstrom watches the kobolds closely, and the Scions can expect news from them.
Yda
Yda does not appear. Minfilia names Yda while handing out tasks for the fight against Titan.
What you know from earlier quests 11
- #97 Into a Copper Hell: Yda cries "Case closed!" when the bully backs off, and teases that you were kind of dragged into the dodo-meat business. Yda names their order: the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, "defenders of justice." Only Momodi may know.
- #99 The Scions of the Seventh Dawn: In one version of this scene, you come at the request of Yda and Papalymo, and Tataru is startled to hear their names.
- #100 A Wild Rose by Any Other Name: Yda is the masked woman. Minfilia says she is an Archon, one of the Sharlayan scholars who stayed to protect Eorzea. She watches over the Twelveswood with Papalymo. She greets you cheerfully and was sure you'd agree.
- #114 Sylph-management: Yda describes the sylphs as floating gysahl greens that worship Ramuh. She says Gridania does not even know what to worry about. She eagerly agrees to go to Gridania.
- #115 We Come in Peace: Yda tells the commander that other business brings them today. She hopes the talk with the sylphs is as simple as Papalymo says.
- #118 First Contact: Yda arrives at Little Solace and greets Komuxio as an envoy from Gridania. She is shocked when he sends them away, and wonders if your dance was not good enough.
- #119 Dance Dance Diplomacy: Yda urges you to dance for the sylphs of Little Solace. She says leg cramps keep her from joining. When you return, she says your dancing cheered everyone, and her cramps are gone.
- #122 Brotherly Love: Yda holds off a stinking morbol so you can fight the sylphs. She says tempered sylphs answer only to steel, and takes no pleasure in fighting them.
- #132 Into the Beast's Maw: Yda calls Frixio a bridge between people and sylphs, so finding him matters. When Knolexia brings bad news, Papalymo sends Yda to the Adders' Nest for help, and she goes at once.
- #134 Believe in Your Sylph: Yda assures Frixio that the Gridanians see the sylphs as friends. She worries about the sinister figure robed in black, asks about the abductions, and praises Frixio as reasonable, teasing Papalymo. She leaves to tell Minfilia everything.
- #135 Back from the Wood: Yda asks about Leviathan and Titan. For the last primal left, she says Gridania by mistake, then corrects it to Garuda, the primal of the Ixal who live near Gridania.
Papalymo
Papalymo does not appear. Minfilia names Papalymo while handing out tasks for the fight against Titan.
What you know from earlier quests 11
- #97 Into a Copper Hell: Papalymo has watched you since you left Gridania: you served well as envoy and helped people without pay. Papalymo offers to explain your visions, mentions a friend with the same gift, and asks you to join their cause. Momodi knows where to find them.
- #99 The Scions of the Seventh Dawn: In one version of this scene, you come at the request of Yda and Papalymo, and Tataru is startled to hear their names.
- #100 A Wild Rose by Any Other Name: Papalymo is an Archon, one of the Sharlayan scholars who stayed to protect Eorzea. He watches over the Twelveswood with Yda. He was confident you would help, and he calls Thancred their man in Ul'dah.
- #114 Sylph-management: Papalymo explains that the sylphs worship the primal Ramuh but seem unable to summon it now. He warns the threat may not be over, and notes that Gridania is busy fighting Garuda. He agrees to go, reminding Yda it is "Us, Yda. Us!"
- #115 We Come in Peace: Papalymo agrees it is better to be safe than sorry about Ramuh. He expects a pleasant chat with the sylphs and knows the ferry from Westshore Pier goes to the Hawthorne Hut.
- #118 First Contact: Papalymo tells Komuxio they want to meet the elder and learn about Ramuh. He protests that your letter is an oath of peace. Baffled, he thinks recent events have made the sylphs wary and suggests asking around.
- #120 Forest Friend: Papalymo says tales of good deeds spread fast. The sylphs of Little Solace were driven from their home, so he suggests easing their troubles. Since sylphs rarely share worries with outsiders, he sends you to Hearer Imedia.
- #122 Brotherly Love: Papalymo explains that the attacking sylphs are tempered: under the control of the primal Ramuh, like the Amalj'aa tempered by Ifrit, they serve only their god. He fights a strange morbol, then wishes for a hot bath.
- #132 Into the Beast's Maw: Papalymo explains that Frixio, eldest of the sylphs of Little Solace, speaks for them with the Gridanians. He fears losing him would undo all their work. He tends to Knolexia's wounds and sends you to save Frixio.
- #134 Believe in Your Sylph: Papalymo hears Frixio's story and explains tempering: the touched sylphs take on Ramuh's traits, guarding their homeland and seizing their kin to rejoin them. He trades jibes with Yda, leaves for the Waking Sands, and asks you to deliver Frixio's letter.
- #135 Back from the Wood: Papalymo strikes Ramuh from the list. He says the Sahagin lack the crystals to summon Leviathan, but warns that without knowing the beast tribes' minds, no one can tell when a primal might return. He urges haste with prudence.
Thancred
Thancred is at the briefing with the other Scions.
What you know from earlier quests 10
- #97 Into a Copper Hell: Thancred has watched you since you left Ul'dah and praises your work as envoy and your selflessness, though the rescue was a happy accident. Thancred asks about your visions, knows a woman with the same talent, and invites you to join the Scions.
- #99 The Scions of the Seventh Dawn: In one version of this scene, you come at Thancred's request, and Tataru is startled to hear the name.
- #100 A Wild Rose by Any Other Name: Thancred is an Archon, a charming bard, and the Scions' man in Ul'dah. He explains the caravan robbery and the missing people, which point to the Amalj'aa, worshipers of the primal Ifrit. He sends you to Isembard at Camp Drybone.
- #103 A Proper Burial: Thancred meets Isembard at Camp Drybone. He spoke with Ungust many times. He suspects Sister Ourcen, since people confess to her behind closed doors. Ourcen heard he took offense at the lichkeeper Marques, and he thinks he has seen that face before.
- #104 For the Children: Isembard says Ourcen's risky search for an orphan's keepsake is not the kind of evil deed Thancred would have them believe.
- #105 Amalj'aa Wrong Places: Thancred admits his suspicion of Ourcen was misplaced. While following her, he tracked a band of Amalj'aa to their camp, but he asks you to search inside. He finds the leaflet badly written and thinks the culprit poses as a priest.
- #106 Dressed to Deceive: Thancred plans for you both to pose as poor vagrants. At the pond north of Sandgate he unmasks the false priest as Ungust. He scorns Ungust for trading lives for coin, questions him, and stays to learn more while you report to Minfilia.
- #108 Lord of the Inferno: Thancred arrives late, after fighting Amalj'aa zealots, and blames himself for leaving you alone. He praises your win over Ifrit. Then he tells you the truth: the tempered captives must be put to death. Alone, he swears to be stronger.
- #114 Sylph-management: Thancred says he would be of little use in Gridania, calling himself a babe in the woods. He suggests that Yda and Papalymo go instead.
- #135 Back from the Wood: A visitor tells Minfilia that Thancred is sparing no effort in their investigation.
Minfilia
Minfilia gathers the Scions to brief them on a new request from the Maelstrom.
What you know from earlier quests 17
- #99 The Scions of the Seventh Dawn: She welcomes you home after five years, as Louisoix said. The Scions protect Eorzea from the primals, godlike beings. Your power, the Echo, shows people's pasts and lets you understand any speech. She has it too, asks your help, and shares the password "wild rose."
- #100 A Wild Rose by Any Other Name: Minfilia welcomes you to the Scions and introduces its leaders. She thinks people forget you because of the power Louisoix used to save your life. She asks you to lead an investigation into crimes in Ul'dah that may involve a primal, a godlike being.
- #101 Unsolved Mystery: Isembard says Minfilia names the Amalj'aa as the culprits behind the disappearances, so he advises you to look into them first.
- #106 Dressed to Deceive: Thancred sends you to report to Minfilia. She praises your work and says only the Amalj'aa know where the abducted were taken. She fears blood must be spilled before this is over.
- #107 Life, Materia and Everything: Minfilia lends you a dagger to take to Mutamix. She admires how much one piece of materia improves it, and urges you to use materia, since good gear can decide victory or defeat. She then turns to your next mission.
- #108 Lord of the Inferno: Minfilia is relieved to see you safe. With Thancred, she explains that primals feed on crystals and worship. She says those with the Echo, like you, cannot be tempered, or forced to serve a primal. She leaves out the captives' fate.
- #111 A Hero in the Making: Minfilia warns that fame has a price. Officers from all three Grand Companies (city armies) come to recruit you. She urges you to join one for safety among friends, gives you a linkpearl to keep in touch, and hopes you still aid the Scions.
- #113 Till Sea Swallows All: Minfilia calls you by linkpearl to congratulate you on joining the Maelstrom. She reminds you that you are still a Scion and asks you back to the Waking Sands. There she says Biggs and Wedge are now under the Scions' protection.
- #114 Sylph-management: Minfilia explains a study of the sylphs, a beast tribe of the Twelveswood, done for the Order of the Twin Adder. She wants a peaceful approach. She asks you to use the Echo, the only sure way to show your intentions.
- #134 Believe in Your Sylph: Yda says she and Papalymo are going back to the Waking Sands to tell Minfilia all about the talks with the sylphs. Papalymo promises to mention the part you played.
- #135 Back from the Wood: Minfilia praises your work and reviews the primals left to watch. Hearing of Lahabrea, she is alarmed that the Ascians no longer hide, and wants him investigated. She is glad the Scions' family grows, yet feels deep foreboding.
- #136 Shadow of Darkness: Minfilia fears the Ascians are behind the chaos in the realm. She asked each Grand Company for help, and the Immortal Flames answered. She sends you to Commander Swift in Ul'dah and asks you to be careful.
- #142 Foot in the Door: Minfilia feels for the Ala Mhigan refugees, who lost their homeland two decades ago and now face poverty and unfair treatment. She thinks only taking back their home would truly help. She offers to introduce you to an Ala Mhigan among the Scions.
- #143 Meeting with the Resistance: Minfilia tells you about Haribehrt, who joined the Scions hoping to free his homeland. She is sure he is glad to help, and sends you to the storage area, where he rests between missions.
- #151 Back to Square One: Minfilia hears how the young ones were taught summoning and sees the kind of deception the Ascians use. She believes some troubles come from someone evil, not only the Calamity, and wants to dig deeper. Then she agrees to rest awhile.
- #152 Terror at Fallgourd: Minfilia says a person like Lahabrea was seen in the North Shroud, after a series of mysterious deaths there. She feels he is involved, sends you to the sylph Noraxia, and asks you to be careful.
- #158 Skeletons in Her Closet: Minfilia is troubled that two of Lahabrea's minions came to measure your strength. She says the Scions are too few, plans to warn the three nations, and urges everyone not to lose hope. She sets the investigation aside for another matter.
Urianger
Urianger does not appear. Minfilia names Urianger while handing out tasks for the fight against Titan.
What you know from earlier quests 2
- #100 A Wild Rose by Any Other Name: Urianger greets you with the words of a dear friend: dawn may banish even the darkest night. He is glad to meet you. He tells Minfilia that documents from the Students of Baldesion have arrived. You can ask him whenever you have questions.
- #114 Sylph-management: Urianger tells Minfilia that the documents from the Students of Baldesion have just arrived. He calls her "my lady".
R'ashaht Rhiki
High Storm Commander R'ashaht Rhiki is at Maelstrom Command, where the Scions have sent word that you are coming.
What you know from earlier quests 1
- #110 My Little Chocobo (Maelstrom): R'ashaht Rhiki says a fine Maelstrom soldier like you deserves a personal chocobo, a large riding bird. R'ashaht explains the way: trade company seals with the quartermaster for a Storm Chocobo Issuance, then give it to Fraegeim.
Alphinaud
Alphinaud does not appear. Minfilia names Alphinaud while handing out tasks for the fight against Titan.
What you know from earlier quests 1
- #111 A Hero in the Making: Alphinaud explains each city's flag and troubles: beast tribes, primals, Garleans, refugees. He notes the speeches left out the Warriors of Light. He wants Eorzea to put the Calamity, a great disaster, behind it, with the Scions and Grand Companies healing it.
Leviathan
Leviathan does not appear. Y'shtola names this primal while recalling past attacks on Limsa Lominsa.
What you know from earlier quests 2
- #111 A Hero in the Making: Alphinaud mentions Leviathan as the primal (beast tribe god) of the fishlike Sahagin, a tribe troubling Limsa Lominsa. Merlwyb says the Sahagin come ashore seeking blood for their god.
- #135 Back from the Wood: Yda asks if the Sahagin and Leviathan come next. Papalymo says the Lord of the Whorl has not answered the Sahagin's call lately, and they lack enough crystals to summon him, so they can be left alone for a time.
Titan
Titan is a primal that a tribe of kobolds near Limsa Lominsa has just reawakened.
What you know from earlier quests 2
- #111 A Hero in the Making: Alphinaud mentions Titan as the primal (beast tribe god) of the kobolds, who live beneath the earth and trouble Limsa Lominsa. Merlwyb says the kobolds push south from the mines of O'Ghomoro.
- #135 Back from the Wood: Yda asks for news of Titan. Y'shtola answers that the Maelstrom keeps the kobolds under constant watch.
Trachtoum

What happens in this quest spoilers for this quest

Merlwyb greets you herself and pledges the full support of the Maelstrom, calling the Scions Limsa's best hope. When Y'shtola speaks of the broken pact, Merlwyb admits the wrong is hers, but says remorse cannot shield them from Titan.
Y'shtola recalls Titan's past attacks and warns you may be outmatched. She goes with you, reminds the Admiral that the Lominsans broke their pact with the kobolds, and suggests learning about Titan from former members of the Company of Heroes.
Yda: Minfilia sends Yda and Thancred to the Grand Companies to tell them of the danger and ask for their support.
Papalymo: Minfilia asks Papalymo to gather all the information the Scions have on Titan, little as it is.
Thancred says you cannot be sent to Limsa Lominsa without Y'shtola. Minfilia then sends Thancred and Yda to ask the Grand Companies for support.
Minfilia reveals that kobolds near Limsa Lominsa have reawakened the primal Titan. She asks you to slay it, sends Y'shtola with you, and gives each Scion a task to support the fight.
Urianger: Minfilia asks Urianger to send word to the Students of Baldesion.
R'ashaht Rhiki first takes you for a recruit, then apologizes and explains that kobolds are moving south for crystals. R'ashaht warns Y'shtola to choose her words with care, and says a former Company of Heroes member works at the Grey Fleet mills.
Alphinaud: Minfilia mentions Alphinaud when she asks Urianger to send word to the Students of Baldesion.
Leviathan: Y'shtola says Leviathan and Titan once struck the seawall together and caused great ruin. Mercenaries hired by Merlwyb fended them off.
Titan once struck the seawall with Leviathan and was beaten by the Company of Heroes. Little is known of him. The kobolds seize crystals to feed him, and the flow of aether inland is already disturbed.
Trachtoum is singing when you arrive and grumbles about the price of fame. Still, he agrees to help, calls himself the Company's best axeman, and asks what you want to know.

Accepting the quest

R'ashaht

Good to see you, )()())/> [name].

Minfilia

The Maelstrom requests our assistance.

Y'shtola

Concerning the kobolds they sent such copious notes on, I presume?

Minfilia

Yes, and no. It has more to do with their findings, which portend a peril far greater than any beast tribe.

Y'shtola

What sort of peril?

Minfilia

The worst kind. A tribe of kobolds in the vicinity of Limsa Lominsa has reawakened Titan.

Our task will be to slay the primal. The Maelstrom have sworn support for the endeavor.

FR Les généraux du Maelstrom ont mis sur pied un corps expéditionnaire et ils demandent à ce que nous les assistions dans leur opération d'extermination. ‘The generals of the Maelstrom have set up an expeditionary force and they ask that we assist them in their extermination operation.’ English says the Maelstrom will support the Scions; French says the Scions are to assist the Maelstrom's operation.
DE Wir sollen nun dem Mahlstrom dabei helfen, mit ihm fertig zu werden. ‘We are now to help the Maelstrom finish him off.’ English says the Maelstrom will support the Scions; German says the Scions are to help the Maelstrom.
JA 黒渦団の討伐隊へ同行し、作戦に協力することよ。 ‘It is to accompany the Maelstrom's subjugation force and cooperate in the operation.’ English says the Maelstrom will support the Scions; Japanese says the Scions will assist the Maelstrom's force.

They are no strangers to the havoc kobolds can wreak.

JA 黒渦団は、以前からコボルド族を継続して調査していたわ。 ‘The Maelstrom had long been continuously investigating the kobolds.’ English says the Maelstrom know the havoc kobolds wreak; Japanese says they have long been investigating the kobolds.

Y'shtola

Years before the Grand Company's reformation, two primals, Leviathan and Titan, chanced to converge upon the seawall, wreaking untold devastation.

There, by the grace of the Navigator, were the mercenaries Merlwyb hired able to fend them off.

Yet it did not take long for the beast tribes to regroup, and they summoned their primals once more.

Minfilia

Thankfully, their second coming was decidedly short-lived─but that is beside the point.

So long as tormented souls will them to exist, the realm will never be rid of primals.

Y'shtola

The Maelstrom has kept a watchful eye upon the beast tribes─and the kobolds in particular─ever since.

Which brings us to the matter at hand.

FR Et il semblerait que ces vermines aient décidé de remettre le couvert... ‘And it would seem that these vermin have decided to go at it again...’ English neutrally turns to the matter at hand; French scornfully calls the kobolds vermin.

Minfilia

Unlike Ifrit, we know scarcely anything of Titan.

Unfortunately, the only force known to have bested him─the modestly named “Company of Heroes”─disbanded five years since, and mercenaries are not in the habit of keeping chronicles.

Y'shtola

Expect the worst.

The Maelstrom's help is of course appreciated, but even if we had their whole armada at our disposal, we could still find ourselves overmatched.

A pity the kobolds lack the gentle sensibilities of the sylphs. A peaceful resolution would be more than welcome.

DE Sie sind ein verschlagener Haufen. ‘They are a sly bunch.’ English wishes for a peaceful resolution; German calls the kobolds a sly bunch.

The Echo will not avail you this time, I fear. If you are to survive, your steel must needs speak for you.

DE Diesmal ist also weniger dein diplomatisches Geschick, sondern eher deine Kampfkraft gefragt. ‘This time, then, it is less your diplomatic skill and more your fighting strength that is called for.’ English says the Echo will not help this time; German says diplomatic skill is less needed this time.

No one would think you a coward were you to decline.

Minfilia

So you will accept?

Thank you.

Thancred

We can't very well send her/him to Limsa Lominsa without Y'shtola, can we, Minfilia?

Minfilia

May I ask that of you, Y'shtola?

Y'shtola

I never thought it in question.

Minfilia

Ever reliable.

Very well. We will spare no effort to win victory.

You may count on the full support of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.

And all not afield will aid the fight from afar.

DE Wir dürfen keine Zeit verlieren! ‘We must not lose any time!’ English says those staying behind will help from afar; German says they must not lose any time.

Thancred, Yda, go to the Grand Companies. Tell them of our plight and solicit their support.

Urianger, send word to the Students of Baldesion─and Alphinaud, if you would.

Papalymo, compile all the information we have on Titan, little though it may be.

You'll be apprised of the tactical situation when you reach the Sailors Ward.

Provision yourself for the journey. May you walk in the light of the Crystal.

R'ashaht

The Scions sent word that you were on your way.

Speak with R'ashaht Rhiki.

R'ashaht

Hail, adventurer, and welcome to Maelstrom Command. If you wish to know more about enlisting, speak with the personnel officer.

Unless...you are the guest we were told to expect? Ah...ha. Ahem. Forgive me, madam/sir.

To business, then. It is as we told the Antecedent. The kobolds have once again summoned Titan.

A little over a moon ago, we began to observe the beastmen moving south in increasing numbers from O'Ghomoro.

Our scouts subsequently confirmed the object of their aggression─

Merlwyb

Crystals. Fodder for their fell primal.

Thank you, High Commander. You may leave the rest to me. Your deeds bring glory to the Maelstrom, )/> [name]/Word has spread of your accomplishments, [name]. Right proud am I to call you one of our own/On behalf of Limsa Lominsa, I thank you for heeding our call.

Y'shtola

Forgive the lack of forewarning, High Commander. The Admiral wished to address [name] personally.

FR Je me suis dit qu'il valait mieux s'entretenir avec l'amirale Bloefhiswyn pour obtenir des informations de première main. ‘I thought it would be better to speak with Admiral Bloefhiswyn to get first-hand information.’ English says the Admiral wanted to speak to you herself; French says Y'shtola thought it best to consult the Admiral.
JA メルウィブ提督に、直接、お話を伺ったほうがいいと思ったの。 ‘I thought it best to hear it directly from Admiral Merlwyb.’ English says the Admiral wanted to speak to you herself; Japanese says Y'shtola thought it best to ask the Admiral directly.

Merlwyb

We are no strangers to conflict. Long have the Sahagin and the kobolds plagued our people─nor is this the first time we have had to address a primal threat.

FR La menace est omniprésente, que ce soit en mer, sur terre, ou même à l'intérieur de la cité. ‘The threat is everywhere, whether at sea, on land, or even inside the city.’ English says this is not their first primal threat; French says the threat is even inside the city.
DE Dabei hätten wir schon mit der Bekämpfung der Piraterie genug zu tun. ‘And yet we would already have enough to do fighting piracy.’ English says this is not their first primal threat; German says fighting piracy already keeps them busy.
JA さらには、国内に海賊問題を抱えている。 ‘Furthermore, we face a pirate problem within the nation.’ English says this is not their first primal threat; Japanese says they also face a pirate problem at home.

In the past, when Titan rose to threaten the peace, it was to the Company of Heroes we turned.

FR Je sais que c'est une piètre excuse, mais c'est notamment à cause de cela que la reconstruction du pays n'a pas progressé aussi rapidement que prévu après le Fléau. ‘I know it is a poor excuse, but it is partly because of this that the country's rebuilding has not progressed as quickly as planned after the Calamity.’ English recalls turning to the Company of Heroes against Titan; French admits rebuilding after the Calamity has lagged.
DE So wenig ich mir das eingestehen möchte - unser Stadtstaat ist nach der Siebten Katastrophe noch nicht bereit für einen Kampf an so vielen Fronten. ‘As little as I like to admit it - after the Seventh Calamity our city-state is not yet ready for a fight on so many fronts.’ English recalls turning to the Company of Heroes against Titan; German admits the city cannot fight on so many fronts.
JA なさけない話だが、第七霊災後、我らは、それらの対応に追われるだけで精一杯の状態でな。 ‘It is a shameful tale, but since the Seventh Umbral Calamity we have been stretched to our limit just dealing with those.’ English recalls turning to the Company of Heroes against Titan; Japanese admits they have been stretched thin since the Calamity.

But they are long disbanded, and we must look to other brave souls blessed with the strength to face this foe.

So it is that we turn now to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, confident in the belief that you are Limsa's best hope.

Y'shtola

I hope you are right. Yet the situation is far from simple. The kobolds are not prone to unprovoked aggression. Did not the thalassocracy make a pact with the beastmen that each would keep to their own lands, and that no blood would be shed?

...And was it not the Lominsans who violated this agreement, dissatisfied with their lot? Shall we then condemn the beastmen for defending their homes?

FR Si les Kobolds ont invoqué Titan, c'est uniquement pour se venger des hommes qui ont trahi leur parole en venant piller les richesses du sol. ‘If the Kobolds summoned Titan, it is solely to take revenge on the men who broke their word by coming to plunder the riches of the soil.’ English says the kobolds are defending their homes; French says they want revenge on the humans.

Even a pirate must one day reap what she has sown.

FR Et maintenant, vous nous demandez de réparer vos bévues... ‘And now you ask us to repair your blunders...’ English says even a pirate reaps what she sows; French complains they ask the Scions to fix their blunders.
DE Jetzt den Bund zu bitten, die Suppe auszulöffeln, die sich Limsa selbst eingebrockt hat ... da macht es sich der Mahlstrom ziemlich leicht. ‘Now asking the Scions to spoon up the soup Limsa cooked up for itself ... the Maelstrom is making it rather easy for itself.’ English says even a pirate reaps what she sows; German says Limsa wants the Scions to clean up its own mess.
JA その尻拭いをしてくれだなんて、少し身勝手ではないかしら。 ‘Asking us to clean up that mess for you—isn't that a little selfish?’ English says even a pirate reaps what she sows; Japanese calls asking the Scions to clean up the mess selfish.

I would advise you to choose your words with greater care, Lady Y'shtola!

Merlwyb

Stand down, High Commander. She has the right of it.

And the wrong is mine. Freely do I claim it. Yet it makes little difference. Remorse will not shield us from Titan's wrath. ...Or would you have us fall upon our swords?

JA ……わかってくれ。 ‘...Please understand.’ English retorts sarcastically about falling on their swords; Japanese pleads for understanding.

Y'shtola

My apologies, Admiral. The safety and security of Limsa Lominsa's citizenry are, of course, of paramount concern.

Merlwyb

Already, we have observed disruptions in the flow of aether further inland. The effects will be felt here in the city ere long.

I ask much of you, I know, but the need is great. I trust I can count on you, )/>/Can I count on your help, [name]?

You have my thanks, along with the full support of the Maelstrom. I await good tidings.

FR Les troupes du Maelstrom sont actuellement engagées dans un conflit sanglant contre les Sahuagins et il m'est impossible de leur ordonner de t'assister. ‘The Maelstrom's troops are currently engaged in a bloody conflict with the Sahagin and it is impossible for me to order them to assist you.’ English promises the Maelstrom's full support; French says she cannot order the troops to assist you.
JA 対策に追われ、黒渦団も動き辛い状況だったのだ。 ‘Busy with countermeasures, the Maelstrom too was in a situation where it was hard to act.’ English promises the Maelstrom's full support; Japanese says the Maelstrom has found it hard to act.

Y'shtola

That the kobolds should summon Titan demonstrates they are no longer amenable to negotiation.

This being the case, we must needs prepare for conflict. Before we meet Titan in the field, however, it would be wise to learn all we can of our foe. And I can think of no better source of information than the mercenaries who defeated him once before.

R'ashaht

The Company of Heroes may be no more, but several of its former members still live. It is said that one of them is employed at the Grey Fleet mills in lower La Noscea.

Y'shtola

Quite why a mercenary should choose to become a miller, I do not know. When you find him, mayhap you could ask him for me. I, meanwhile, shall seek his fellows.

FR Partons sans attendre, [name]. ‘Let's leave without delay, [name].’ English says Y'shtola will look for his fellows meanwhile; French has her propose leaving together at once.
DE Dort werden wir anfangen. ‘We'll start there.’ English says Y'shtola will look for his fellows meanwhile; German says they will start there together.
JA さっそく行ってみましょう。 ‘Let's go there right away.’ English says Y'shtola will look for his fellows meanwhile; Japanese has her propose going there together.

Speak with Trachtoum.

Trachtoum

Lay down yer burdens, son,♪ Come drain a pint with me,♪ We'll have a grand ol' time,♪ Find ye a lass or three...♪

FR ♪ Trachtoum va se régaler, ♪ Car c'est l'heure du dîner/déjeuner. ♪ Méchoui, fruits et biscuits, ♪ Voilà ce qu'il va manger aujourd'hui. ‘♪ Trachtoum is going to feast, ♪ For it's dinner/lunch time. ♪ Roast lamb, fruit and biscuits, ♪ That's what he'll eat today.’ English sings of drinking a pint and finding lasses; French sings of Trachtoum feasting at mealtime.
DE Ja, den Frohsinn bringt der Wein ♪ Und wer mir meinen Wein nimmt, der soll froh nimmer sein ♪ ‘What brings the miller cheer? Yes, wine brings the cheer ♪ And whoever takes my wine shall never be cheerful ♪’ English sings of drinking a pint and finding lasses; German sings that wine cheers the miller and curses wine thieves.
JA ♪おっれさーまだーいすっきめっしのっじかーん♪♪だーいすっきおっれさっまやっすみっじかーん♪♪らんららーるるる、ららららーん♪ ‘♪Me, myself, love it, mealtime♪♪Love it, me, myself, break time♪♪La la la...♪’ English sings of drinking a pint and finding lasses; Japanese sings of loving himself, mealtime and break time.

Ye gonna say somethin', 'venturer, or just keep starin'? Eh? Ye want to know about the Company of Heroes?

FR J'te conseille de me laisser tranquille s'tu veux pas finir embroché(e) et rôti(e) sur la braise, comme ce méchoui ! ‘I advise you to leave me alone if you don't want to end up skewered and roasted over the coals, like this roast lamb!’ English grumbles about your staring; French threatens to roast you on a spit like his lamb.
DE Wenn du mir noch länger auf den Rücken glotzt, muss ich deine Gräten in die Flügel einer Mühle flechten. ‘If you keep gawking at my back, I'll have to braid your bones into the sails of a mill.’ English grumbles about your staring; German threatens to weave your bones into windmill sails.
JA なんだてめえ、風車で巻き殺すぞ。 ‘What the hell are you, I'll wind you to death in the windmill.’ English grumbles about your staring; Japanese threatens to kill you with the windmill.

Ahhh hells... Price of bleedin' fame... Can't a miller mill in peace no more!?

Still, seein' as ye've come all this way, I s'pose it wouldn't hurt to oblige ye. Consider yerself lucky, lass/mate─ol' Trachtoum was the Company's best axeman. Now, what was it ye wanted to know?

FR Tu veux un autographe, c'est ça ? ‘You want an autograph, is that it?’ English asks what you wanted to know; French assumes you want his autograph.
