Accepting the quest
Kyokyozo
I am loath to trouble you again, but you have proven yourself a friend to the Order. I have an urgent missive to be delivered to Hihibaru of Highbridge.
Or, to be precise, a petition. The Order would entreat Highwind Skyways to establish regular flights between Highbridge and Ul'dah.
Such flights would greatly ease the travels of pilgrims to Thal's Respite, not to mention stimulate commerce in the area.
It is for the latter reason that we believe Hihibaru and his fellow merchants will lend us their support. Go now, and may the Traders watch over your journey.
- FR Allez, et que les Douze veillent sur vous. ‘Go, and may the Twelve watch over you.’ English invokes the Traders; French invokes the Twelve.
- DE Hihibaru bemüht sich schon seit langem, den Luftschiff-Landeplatz Hohenbrücks in Betrieb zu nehmen. ‘Hihibaru has long been trying to get Highbridge's airship landing into operation.’ English gives "the latter reason" for the merchants' support; German says Hihibaru has long wanted the airship landing running.
Deliver the signed petition to Hihibaru.
A message from Sister Kyokyozo? Whatever business could the Order have with a common trader like me?
- FR Un message de Frère Kyokyozo ? ‘A message from Brother Kyokyozo?’ English calls Kyokyozo Sister; French calls Kyokyozo Brother.
Well, I'll be... A petition for regular airship service between Highbridge and Ul'dah. Hah, the idea's so bloody brilliant I'm right ashamed not to have thought it up myself! Business would simply go through the roof!
I'll add my signature and deliver it to Highwind Skyways straightaway! Now, if only someone would deal with those bloody Qiqirn, Highbridge would be a trader's paradise...
