Alphinaud has a mind to start searching the Blue Window.
Alphinaud declares that you two should begin searching the isles in earnest for the Soleil. Follow him east and stand /lookout for the missing airship.
Though your vantage point affords an excellent view of the surrounding isles, you see nothing resembling the archbishop's airship. Proceed north and stand /lookout once more.
In the course of your search, you come upon a most unexpected sight: a unit of imperial troops surrounding a terrified Vanu Vanu. Before you can assess the situation, the troops mistake you for Ishgardians and attempt to seize you as well, apparently under the orders of “Lord van Hydrus.” With Alphinaud's help, you manage to defeat the Garleans, thus rescuing the Vanu prisoner.
Lonu Vanu, as he names himself, expresses his profound gratitude for your intervention. Though the presence of the imperials is an unfortunate development, the discovery that the Vanu here are not openly hostile to you and Alphinaud makes up for it.
Objectives[]
Stand /lookout at the isle's eastern edge.
Stand /lookout farther to the north.
Speak with Lonu Vanu.

Alphinaud
Assuming the Soleil is here, I doubt she will come to us. We should begin searching the isles in earnest...
Alphinaud
Of course, we must remain vigilant for Vanu scouts as well. I would rather avoid needless bloodshed.
Cid
We'll keep the Enterprise here for now, but if you need to head back to Ishgard, you can use that standard to signal for an Ironworks airship.
Cid
Don't worry─we charted a route safe enough for others to fly...unless that primal shows up. But what are the odds of that, eh?
Biggs
The Enterprise is ready to fly at a moment's notice. Just come running if you run afoul of something you can't handle.
Wedge
We'll stay in touch with your Temple Knight friend, don't you worry!
Alphinaud
Gods, look at them. So many isles...so many places to hide. No, we must not lose hope. He is out there, [Player Name]─and we will find him.
Alphinaud
Mayhap this effort was doomed to failure...
Lonu Vanu
Begs mercy of netherlings! Does not fight! Does not wish to die!
Alphinaud
Was that a Vanu being attacked? But by whom?
Alphinaud
Over there!
Alphinaud
Imperial troops!?
Imperialleader01644
Ishgardians!? Seize them! They'll know where the archbishop is!
Alphinaud
The enemy of my enemy... We've no choice. With me, [Player Name]! Protect the Vanu!
Lonu Vanu
Netherlings save Lonu Vanu from certain death! Showers netherlings with thanks like summer squall!
Lonu Vanu
Lonu Vanu knows not what wind bears netherlings to cloud sea, but warmly welcomes them! Shows gratitude where gratitude is due!
Alphinaud
And so we live to fight another day...
Cid
Imperial troops? Here? Well, hopefully that's the last of them. We'll keep an eye out for others.
