Like Civilized Men and Women (Maelstrom)

Trachraet

Yer familiar with what transpired at Carteneau five years ago, ain't ye, )()())/> [name]?

I don't mean the godsdamned moon crackin' open an' that thrice-damned primal rainin' 'ellfire upon us all. Even folk in the Far East 'eard that tale, I reckon.

• FR C'est l'endroit où l'Alliance éorzéenne et la 7e légion impériale se sont affrontées, dans un bain de sang qui a marqué la fin de la 6e ère astrale. ‘It's the place where the Eorzean Alliance and the 7th Imperial Legion clashed, in a bloodbath that marked the end of the Sixth Astral Era.’ English says he does not mean the moon cracking and the primal; French describes exactly that battle and the winged abomination.
• DE Genau, ich rede von der verdammten Gegend, die vor fünf Jahren zum traurigen Mittelpunkt der Siebten Katastrophe wurde, als dort die Truppen der Eorzäischen Allianz und der garleischen VII. ‘Exactly, I'm talking about the damned area that five years ago became the sad center of the Seventh Calamity, when the troops of the Eorzean Alliance and the Garlean VIIth Legion clashed there while Dalamud raced toward them.’ English says he does not mean the moon cracking and the primal; German says that is exactly the place he means.
• JA そう、5年前の「第七霊災」の中心地となった、エオルゼア同盟軍と帝国軍第VII軍団の決戦の地です。 ‘Yes, the place that became the center of the "Seventh Calamity" five years ago, the site of the decisive battle between the Eorzean Alliance forces and the Empire's VIIth Legion.’ English says he does not mean the moon cracking and the primal; Japanese says yes, it is the center of that calamity.

What I'm wonderin' is 'ow knowledgeable ye are with regards to the aftermath, when the Eorzean Alliance saw fit to settle in an' jointly administer the region for the foreseeable future.

• DE Seither ist die Heide ein Niemandsland, über das kein Stadtstaat gebietet. ‘Since then, the heath has been a no-man's-land over which no city-state rules.’ English says the Alliance jointly administers the region; German calls it a no-man's-land ruled by no city-state.

Waste o' time, money, an' men, most say, what with nothin' o' value in the Carteneau Flats, eh? That's the story to which most folk've been privy─the truth, o' course, bein' a fair bit different.

In case ye ain't yet in the know, the primal's rampage laid bare these Allagan ruins, which no one 'ad even the slightest inklin' existed prior to the Calamity. It didn't take a bleedin' genius to recognize that we'd found somethin' important, an' that we'd be fools to let it fall into the wrong 'ands.

The powers that be declared that we'd protect an' study the ruins together, an' so we did─until now. Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, an' Gridania 'ave all formally asserted a claim to the territory. The time for talk 'as passed; the time for action 'as come.

• FR Les dirigeants de chaque nation s'inquiètent d'un élargissement potentiel du conflit et ont signé un accord donnant à Carteneau le statut d'une zone de non-droit. ‘The leaders of each nation are worried about a possible widening of the conflict and signed an agreement giving Carteneau the status of a lawless zone.’ English says the leaders declared joint protection and study of the ruins; French says they made Carteneau a lawless zone.
• DE Immerhin konnte eine Übereinkunft getroffen werden, dass alles, was auf der Heide vorfällt, unter keinen Umständen nach außen getragen wird, damit unsere Streitigkeiten nicht grundsätzlich das ansonsten freundschaftliche Verhältnis der Stadtstaaten zueinander belastet. ‘At least an agreement could be reached that everything that happens on the heath will under no circumstances be carried outside, so that our disputes do not fundamentally strain the otherwise friendly relations between the city-states.’ English says the leaders declared joint protection and study of the ruins; German says they agreed nothing there would leave the heath.
• JA 三国の領袖たちは、この対立が同盟の亀裂とならないよう、同地で起きたあらゆる問題を外には持ち出さぬという、協定を交わしました。 ‘So that this conflict would not become a rift in the alliance, the leaders of the three nations concluded an agreement not to take any problem arising there outside.’ English says the leaders declared joint protection and study of the ruins; Japanese says they agreed no problem there would leave the area.

That bein' said, we'd be a sorry excuse for an alliance if we let this one issue divide us. So while there'll be fightin', it'll be in accordance with the rules. All 'ostilities shall be confined to the disputed territories, an' engagements shall be fought to submission, not death.

• DE Die Carteneauer Heide wurde sozusagen zu einem rechtsfreien Raum erklärt - und schon spielen sich dort heftige Kämpfe ab. ‘The Carteneau heath was, so to speak, declared a lawless zone - and fierce fighting is already taking place there.’ English says the fighting will follow the rules; German says the area was declared a lawless zone.
• JA かくして「カルテノー平原」は、「アウトロー戦区（法外戦区）」に指定され、今も激しい戦いが繰り広げられています。 ‘Thus the "Carteneau Flats" was designated the "Outlaw Zone (zone outside the law)", and fierce battles are still being waged there.’ English says the fighting will follow the rules; Japanese says the area was designated a zone outside the law.

Remember that when yer on the front line, )()())/>─beat a man within an ilm of 'is life if ye must, but see that it goes no further.

Ye'll be joinin' the fight, won't ye? A soldier with your talents would make a tremendous difference! What's more, ye'd be doin' the nation a great service.

At least speak with our man at the airship landin' before ye decide one way or the other. Think on it, )()())/>. That's all I ask.

• DE Bereite dich gut auf den Einsatz vor und melde dich dann am Landeplatz von Limsa beim Luftschiffsoffizier des Mahlstroms! ‘Prepare well for the mission and then report to the Maelstrom's airship officer at the Limsa landing!’ English asks you to talk to him before deciding; German assumes you will go and tells you to prepare.
• JA 最前線の戦列に加わる覚悟ができましたら、「リムサ・ロミンサ・ランディング」で待機している、「特殊陸戦隊飛空兵」に申し出てください。 ‘Once you are resolved to join the ranks on the front line, please report to the "special marine corps flyer" waiting at "Limsa Lominsa Landing".’ English asks you to talk to him before deciding; Japanese tells you to go to him once you are resolved to join.
