Journal
- J'nasshym of the Brugaire Consortium seeks the services of a conveniently unoccupied adventurer.
- J'nasshym of the Brugaire Consortium has tasked you with making a delivery─a gift parcel for services rendered─to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss. Head to the Sisters' “convent” found near Fisherman's Bottom, and hand the package directly to Lonwoerd.
- You have delivered the package to Lonwoerd. Return to the Octant and speak with J'nasshym.
- You return to J'nasshym and convey Lonwoerd's message. It would seem that the Dutiful Sisters are far more important to the continued well-being of Limsa Lominsa than their modest facade would indicate...

picks you because you look like someone who enjoys being stopped for boring little jobs.Spoiler about later in the story
Easter egg Later, in My First Daggers, the guild's master calls this one-eyed doorman 'Ol' Lonny Left-patch'. He can't throw a blade, but that one eye misses nothing.

Foreshadowing The Dutiful Sisters are not what they seem. J'nasshym hints that you may go to them yourself one day. So remember this 'convent' near Fisherman's Bottom.

In-game text The Encyclopaedia Eorzea says the Upright Thieves became the Rogues' Guild. This happened after Admiral Merlwyb's
order that banned piracy.
Characters 3
J'nasshym of the Brugaire Consortium, a business, is at the Octant. She is looking for a free adventurer to make a delivery.
Lonwoerd is the doorman of the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss, a quiet "convent" near Fisherman's Bottom.
Admiral Merlwyb does not appear in this quest; the name comes up only in a note on the city's past.
What happens in this quest spoilers for this quest
- J'nasshym sends a thank-you gift to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss, who did a service for her firm. She does not say what they do, but says they are more than they seem and that they reassure businesses like hers.
- Lonwoerd tells visitors without proper business to go away. He opens the Brugaire Consortium's gift of walnut bread, ginger cookies and sandwiches, and saves some for himself. He says the Sisters are always there if J'nasshym's boss needs them again.
- Merlwyb: 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.
What the Japanese, French and German versions say 6
Japanese
EN 'Head to the Sisters' “convent” found near Fisherman's Bottom, and hand the package directly to Lonwoerd.'
JA 『リムサ・ロミンサのエーデルワイス商会にいる倉庫番「ロンヴルド」に、「」を渡そう。』, 'At the Edelweiss Trading Company in Limsa Lominsa, hand the parcel to the warehouse keeper, Lonwoerd.'
The Dutiful Sisters are a trading company here, and Lonwoerd is its warehouse keeper. There is no fake convent at all.
EN 'You'll find the Dutiful Sisters'...er, “convent” down near Fisherman's Bottom.'
JA 『網倉の近くにある「エーデルワイス商会」まで、荷物を届けていただきたいのです。』, 'I would like you to take a parcel to the Edelweiss Trading House, near the net store.'
FR «Vous avez trrransmis mon colis à la Société de négoce de l'Edelweiss ?», 'Did you deliver my parcel to the Edelweiss Trading Company?'
DE „Bitte bring mein Paket zu den Artigen Schwestern von Edelweiß drüben bei Fischers Bodden.“, 'Please take my parcel to the Well-Behaved Sisters of Edelweiss over at Fischers Bodden.'
Only German keeps the sisters. The English convent and the Japanese and French trading house both hide the Rogues' Guild. No reason for the swap is published.
French
EN 'You seem the type who enjoys being accosted for menial tasks, and I require someone to make a delivery to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss.'
FR «Il faudrait déposer ce colis à la Société de négoce de l'Edelweiss.», 'This parcel must be dropped off at the Trading Company of the Edelweiss.'
A warehouse stands in for the 'convent'. So J'nasshym's pause before the word, the English joke, is gone.
EN '...What's this, then? A parcel from the Brugaire Consortium, eh? Let's have a peek inside...'
FR «Tu as un cadeau de la part du Consortium de Brugaire pour nous ? C'est gentil de leur part de vouloir nous remercier, alors qu'ils ont déjà payé.», 'You have a gift for us from the Brugaire Consortium? It's kind of them to want to thank us, when they have already paid.'
Lonwoerd lets slip that the gift is an extra, a kind gesture from the Consortium. The English keeps the deal vague.
EN 'Excuse me, miss/sir, but might you have a moment or two to spare?' · 'I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't heard of them─the Sisters prefer not to advertise their presence here in Limsa Lominsa.' · 'You've delivered the package as I requested? Very good.'
FR «Excusez-moi, mais aurrriez-vous un peu de temps à me consacrer ?», 'Excuse me, but would you have a little time to spare for me?' · «Il y a beaucoup de sociétés marrrchandes à Limsa Lominsa, mais l'Edelweiss prend en charge certains types de contrats dont personne d'autre ne s'occupe.», 'There are many trading companies in Limsa Lominsa, but the Edelweiss takes on certain kinds of contracts that no one else handles.' · «Vous avez livré mon paquet ? Merrrci infiniment !», 'You delivered my package? Thank you so much!'
J'nasshym rolls her r's. The English J'nasshym speaks plainly.
German
EN 'Head to the Sisters' “convent” found near Fisherman's Bottom, and hand the package directly to Lonwoerd.'
DE „J'nasshym bittet dich, ein Paket bei den Artigen Schwestern von Edelweiß bei Fischers Bodden abzuliefern.“, 'J'nasshym asks you to deliver a parcel to the Well-Behaved Sisters of Edelweiss at Fisher's Lagoon.'
A Bodden is a shallow coastal lagoon, like a bay. The word is also Low German for 'bottom', so the name keeps the English sense too.

J'nasshym
Excuse me, miss/sir, but might you have a moment or two to spare? You seem the type who enjoys being accosted for menial tasks, and I require someone to make a delivery to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss.
- FR Il faudrait déposer ce colis à la Société de négoce de l'Edelweiss. ‘This parcel must be dropped off at the Trading Company of the Edelweiss.’ A warehouse stands in for the 'convent'. So J'nasshym's pause before the word, the English joke, is gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't heard of them─the Sisters prefer not to advertise their presence here in Limsa Lominsa.
- DE So artig sind die Schwestern gar nicht, wenn man es genau nimmt. ‘Between us: the Sisters are not all that well-behaved, strictly speaking.’ English says they keep their presence quiet; German jokes the Sisters are less well-behaved than their name says.
- JA 「エーデルワイス商会」は、リムサ・ロミンサに数ある商会の中でも、ちょっと特別な仕事を請け負ってくれる方々なんですよ。 ‘Among the many trading companies in Limsa Lominsa, the Edelweiss Company are people who take on rather special jobs.’ English says they keep their presence quiet; Japanese says they take on rather special jobs.
They do, however, provide a rather unique service of which the Brugaire Consortium has recently been the beneficiary. I would have you deliver this package to their doorman, Lonwoerd, along with our profuse gratitude.
Deliver the package for the Dutiful Sisters to Lonwoerd
J'nasshym
You'll find the Dutiful Sisters'...er, “convent” down near Fisherman's Bottom. Pray deliver the package to the doorman, along with the sincere gratitude of the Brugaire Consortium.
- FR Vous avez trrransmis mon colis à la Société de négoce de l'Edelweiss ? ‘Did you deliver my parcel to the Edelweiss Trading Company?’
- DE Bitte bring mein Paket zu den Artigen Schwestern von Edelweiß drüben bei Fischers Bodden. ‘Please take my parcel to the Well-Behaved Sisters of Edelweiss over at Fischers Bodden.’
Lonwoerd
Aye, this's the Dutiful Sisters o' the Edelweiss─a house o' deep reflection an' meditation. So unless ye've proper business with us, ye can kindly bugger off.
- FR Tu te trouves actuellement à l'entrepôt de la Société de négoce de l'Edelweiss, aventurière/er. ‘You are currently at the warehouse of the Edelweiss Trading Company, adventurer.’ English calls the place a house of deep reflection and meditation; French says it is a warehouse.
- FR Si tu n'as rien à faire ici, je vais être obligé de te demander de bien vouloir quitter les lieux sur-le-champ. ‘If you have nothing to do here, I will be obliged to ask you to kindly leave the premises at once.’ English rudely tells you to bugger off; French asks you to leave in stiff, formal politeness.
- DE Unbefugten ist der Zutritt untersagt, also musst du mit mir vorliebnehmen. ‘Unauthorized persons are not allowed in, so you'll have to make do with me.’ English tells you to leave; German says you will have to make do with him instead.
- JA ここは「エーデルワイス商会」の倉庫だ。 ‘This is the warehouse of the “Edelweiss Company.”’ English calls the place a house of deep reflection and meditation; Japanese says it is a warehouse.
Ho there, [name]. Ye lookin' to head inside?
...What's this, then? A parcel from the Brugaire Consortium, eh? Let's have a peek inside...
Oooh, walnut bread an' ginger cookies. ...An' a few o' them Bismarck finger sandwiches, too! Them Consortium culls know the right way to show appreciation!
- FR Ça fait un moment qu'il s'occupe de tout ce qui est alimentaire. ‘For a while now it has been handling everything to do with food.’ English praises how the Consortium shows thanks; French says the Consortium has long dealt in food.
- JA さすが、食糧の扱いにも長けた「ブルゲール商会」だな。 ‘Just what you'd expect of the “Brugaire Consortium,” skilled at handling food as well.’ English praises how the Consortium shows thanks; Japanese praises its skill at handling food.
Some o' them Sisters have unholy appetites, so I'd best save a few bites for meself afore I take this inside... Ahem. You let J'nasshym know we're always here should her boss have need of us again.
- FR On a quelques gloutons ici qui seront reconnaissants pour ce cadeau. ‘We have a few gluttons here who will be grateful for this gift.’ English jokes he'll keep a few bites for himself first; French just says the gluttons will be grateful.
- JA うちには大飯食らいがいるから、ありがたく頂戴しよう。 ‘We have some big eaters here, so I'll gratefully accept it.’ English jokes he'll keep a few bites for himself first; Japanese simply accepts the gift gratefully.

You've delivered the package as I requested? Very good. I shall pass on the Sisters' sentiments to my superior.
...Hm? What manner of services do the Dutiful Sisters provide?
Continue your stay in Limsa Lominsa, and you'll likely find out soon enough. In fact, if you're confident in your abilities─and comfortable with the unconventional─you might wish to approach them yourself...
I'm quite sure an adventurer of your stature has already glimpsed the truth behind the facade. For a business such as ours, their presence in the city is incredibly reassuring!
