• X'rhun wishes to teach you the origins of red magic.
• X'rhun gives you a brief lecture on the origins of red magic, describing how the art was founded on the schools of black and white magic as a means to survive the very disaster those ancient disciplines were known to have caused. Realizing that a history lesson is no substitute for practical experience, however, X'rhun suggests that an attempt to uncover the identity of the kidnappers might provide the battle practice you require. Follow the Crimson Duelist to the Church of Saint Adama Landama in eastern Thanalan.
• You join X'rhun at the church, and speak with Father Iliud regarding the unsettling spellcasters that attacked the young sisters scant yalms from Ul'dah's gates. While unable to identify the cabal, Father Iliud appears to recognize the nature of the kidnappers' tattoos, proclaiming them cursed sigils that erase the will of the bearer. After urging the father to continue his investigation, X'rhun bids you follow him outside. Though playful in tone, his choice of words suggest that you had best prepare for hostilities...
• You exit the church to discover that the mysterious cabal has been trailing your movements. Following X'rhun's unsuccessful attempt to parley, you are soon drawn into a protracted battle against the cultists and their minions. Your implacable foes show neither fear nor remorse, and their leader freely sacrifices himself to summon a monstrous void hound. Eventually, however, your newly acquired red magic triumphs over the massive beast. Speak with X'rhun and discuss the aftermath of the battle.
• X'rhun crouches by the corpse of one of your ambushers, and studies the cursed sigil upon her cheek. Vowing to hunt down the vile puppeteer behind this abominable act, he bids you return to the church's lichyard.
• Back at the church, X'rhun shares with you the tale of the Crimson Duelists' formation and their failed crusade against the tyrannical King Theodoric. Despite the loss of his companions, however, the red mage appears unshaken in his resolve to defend the weak and uphold the common good. If you wish to continue studying red magic at his side, then it seems that you, too, must be willing to walk this uncompromising road. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia upon reaching level 52.

• X'rhun is ready to continue the investigation into the mystery cabal.
• X'rhun inquires after your training, and suggests another round of practical experience. Head inside the Church of Adama Landama, and hear what Father Iliud has to share regarding your sigil-branded ambushers.
• Father Iliud recalls a similar kidnapping incident in Ul'dah which resulted in the sorcerous death of an Ala Mhigan-born merchant and his son. Fearing that the girls' father, Wilkin, was the true target of the cabal, you resolve to meet with the merchant and warn him of the danger. Join X'rhun in the entrance hall of the Manderville Gold Saucer. ※The Gold Saucer is unlocked by completing the quest “It Could Happen to You,” available at level 15 in Ul'dah on the Steps of Nald. ※The quest “It Could Happen to You” also requires you to have completed the main scenario quest “.”
• You rendezvous with X'rhun, and he expresses a desire to observe the merchant in his dealings before making contact. Make your way to the Manderville Lounge, and listen in on Wilkin's meeting.
• From a discreet distance, you overhear Wilkin offering some manner of contribution to a nervous-looking youth. Confront the merchant about the true nature of this exchange.
• Wilkin confesses to his clandestine support of the Resistance, and X'rhun explains how such actions have likely marked him for assassination. the merchant mentions a forthcoming trek into western Thanalan, and you offer your protection as you continue investigations into the mysterious cabal. Head to Vesper Bay, and coordinate your efforts with X'rhun.
• Upon your arrival in Vesper Bay, X'rhun proposes that you each scout out the two most likely sites for an ambush. Venture into the tunnel that leads into the port town, and scour the area for assassins.
• You defeat the force lurking in the tunnel. Return to Vesper Bay and report your success to X'rhun.
• After commending you on a job well done, X'rhun tells of how he purposefully let one of the assassins escape. the Crimson Duelist bids you make sure of Wilkin's arrival in Vesper Bay, then leaves to track the fleeing mage.
• You meet with Wilkin at the entrance to the port town, and the thankful merchant hands you a token of his gratitude. Seek out X'rhun near the coast of the Footfalls that you might share with him Wilkin's reward.
• You find X'rhun standing at the cliff's edge, having witnessed his quarry being fished from the sea by a rowing boat and ferried to a merchantman anchored out in the bay. Though occupied by thoughts of the cabal's hidden leader, X'rhun is distracted by the gift you have brought from Wilkin. According to a note that accompanied the parcel, it seems that this is not the first time the Crimson Duelist has saved the merchant's life. a firm believer in fighting for the common good, X'rhun's resolve seems further strengthened by this simple acknowledgement of his deeds. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia upon reaching level 54.

• X'rhun awaits word of the merchantman's destination.
• X'rhun receives news from a distant contact that the ship to which the surviving assassin was ferried has been spotted weighing anchor in western La Noscea. Make your way to Aleport and rendezvous with the Crimson Duelist.
• Unsure of the significance of the merchantman, X'rhun proposes a circuit of the port to gossip with the locals. Speak with the people of Aleport, and uncover what information you can regarding the unknown vessel.
• You have questioned several locals and formed an impression of the ship and its crew. Report your findings to X'rhun.
• After hearing that your discoveries largely match his own, X'rhun seems convinced that the merchantman serves the assassins as a floating base. Despite rumors that the ship's trading route brings it into contact with imperial vessels, however, a lack of evidence has discouraged authorities from conducting a full investigation. Examine the cargo belonging to the merchantman, and search for proof of the crew's unlawful deeds.
• In addition to the discovery of a trove of imperial supplies, your eventful investigation of the ship's cargo has also left you in possession of a large key. Seek out X'rhun Tia, and share what you have found.
• X'rhun examines the key, and wonders if it might open the one box he was unable to open. Try the key on the locked crate whilst X'rhun presents the incriminating evidence to the authorities.
• You open the crate to find a befuddled young woman. She appears to suffer from memory loss, and hesitantly identifies herself as “Arya.” Seeking to conceal her escape from the merchantman's crew, X'rhun suggests finding lodgings at the nearby inn.
• Exhausted by her ordeal, Arya has collapsed into a deep sleep. X'rhun ushers you outside that you might discuss the fate of the assassins and their ship.
• X'rhun reports that the Yellowjackets acted immediately upon confirming his evidence, but by the time their soldiers arrived at the docks the merchantman was already fleeing to open water. Although not the perfect outcome, you have freed Arya from the clutches of the cabal and a fate as a mindless puppet. You wonder what tales she might have to tell once the fog clouding her memory has lifted... ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia upon reaching level 56.

Journal

• X'rhun Tia has a proposal to help cure Arya's memory loss.
• While X'rhun is off investigating Arya's origins with the Yellowjackets, he asks that you attempt to jolt the girl's memory. Talk to Arya, and convince her to join you for a walk outside.
• Arya has awoken refreshed from her sleep but still bereft of memories. She seems agreeable to the idea of a walk, and mentions a desire to see the view from the top of the port's wall. Join Arya at the battlements.
• Your attempts to restore Arya's memory lead her to remember an unpleasant event which befell her and her uncle. Return to the inn, and share this revelation with X'rhun.
• Arya is able to recall the death of her uncle, but her other memories remain hidden behind an impenetrable fog. When X'rhun ponders the destination of the cabal's ship, however, Arya suddenly remembers the assassins speaking of a rendezvous with their mysterious master. Prepare for a confrontation, and join X'rhun and Arya on the Isles of Umbra. ※The Isles of Umbra can be reached once you accept (or have completed) the main scenario quest “The Reluctant Researcher.”
• You arrive on the Isles of Umbra, and X'rhun confirms the presence of the tight-lipped assassins. Dead men and mute mages hamper your search, and you have yet to discover the cabal's master. Speak with X'rhun Tia at the Ship's Graveyard.
• After several battles with the cabal's relentless underlings, you eventually encounter the puppeteer himself: a man named Lambard. It would seem that the villain is acquainted with X'rhun, but Arya's unexpected intervention cuts short what promised to be a violent reunion. Return to Aleport, and listen to X'rhun's tale.
• X'rhun tells of the founding of the Crimson Duelists, and of how their efforts to overthrow a tyrant were dashed by Lambard's betrayal. X'rhun now means to exact vengeance upon the traitor who murdered his companions, but does not expect you to join him in what has become a personal vendetta. Approach the waiting Duelist, and convey your intention to see this journey through to the end.
• X'rhun gladly accepts you as a comrade in arms, but is surprised to hear Arya express her own desire to help vanquish the cabal's master. Persuaded by her courage and conviction, however, he chooses to welcome the determined young woman into the ranks of the red mages. Together, the three of you must now prepare to face the treacherous Lambard. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia upon reaching level 58.

• X'rhun wishes to investigate Lambard's next move.
• X'rhun has contacted an acquaintance in Limsa Lominsa to help investigate possible targets for Lambard and his cabal. Make your way to Hawkers' Round, and rendezvous with the Crimson Duelist.
• X'rhun's contact is revealed to be Riol, a former member of the Company of Heroes. Riol tells you that he decided to track the merchantman's trade goods back to their source, and discovered a link to Castrum Meridianum in northern Thanalan. Considering the relation between Lambard and the Empire, you conclude that this imperial base is likely the source of the cabal's orders. Speak with X'rhun in the Drowning Wench, and devise a plan of action.
• X'rhun proposes a simple but effective plan for gaining access to the castrum's records. Head to northern Thanalan, and regroup with your companions in Raubahn's Push.
• You have been tasked with drawing the attention of the castrum's soldiers whilst X'rhun and Arya slip into the back entrance of the imperial base. Find a suitable spot to stage your diversion, and engage any enemies who object to your presence.
• Your diversion appears to have served its purpose. Return to the rendezvous point and speak with X'rhun.
• You rejoin your companions, and X'rhun reports success in uncovering Lambard's next objective. Withdraw to the Ceruleum Processing Plant and hear the details from the Crimson Duelist.
• X'rhun shares with you the disturbing origins of the cabal's formation, and reveals that Lambard has been ordered to strike at a new target: the Garlond Ironworks. Rather than eliminate Cid directly, however, the Empire plans to destabilize the famous company by going after its senior staff members. Such a crippling blow to the Ironworks would have repercussions across Eorzea, and it seems the cabal will stop at nothing to achieve its objective. Lambard must be defeated. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun upon reaching level 60.

• X'rhun is planning a final confrontation with Lambard.
• X'rhun explains the Empire's plan to assassinate the deputy president of Garlond Ironworks, and outlines an idea to foil the attempt. After meeting with Jessie herself and hammering out the finer details, he promises to meet you on the terrace above Rowena's House of Splendors in Revenant's Toll.
• You rendezvous with your companions in Revenant's Toll, and although Jessie seems content to act as bait, X'rhun has reservations about placing her in the path of danger. Arya suddenly offers to disguise herself as the deputy president, and a new plan evolves around her unexpected suggestion. Meet X'rhun by the aetheryte in Revenant's Toll for a final briefing.
• You meet with your comrades, and X'rhun confesses how he is yet baffled by Lambard's betrayal of the Crimson Duelists for imperial coin. Resolved to bring him to justice, however, he bids you assemble by the southeast gate to begin your operation.
• Your mission to turn the cabal's ambush against them has begun. Follow Arya on the path to north Silvertear, and defend her from any attackers.
• You have foiled the first ambush. Continue onwards to the south, and rescue Arya from the cabal's attacks.
• After defeating the second wave of ambushers, you are contacted with further instructions from X'rhun. It seems the Crimson Duelist has dispatched the flanking group, and is certain that Lambard will soon be lured into the fray. Take up position by the airship near the Keeper of the Lake, and wait for the assassins' master to appear.
• Lambard steps from the shadows to finish the job, and X'rhun breaks from his own concealment to confront him. Despite X'rhun's superior skill in battle, however, the veteran red mage is overcome by Lambard's sinister powers. You and Arya leap to your fallen companion's defense, and fight a desperate battle against ancient magicks and forbidden arts. Together you succeed in defeating Lambard, and can now see to the gravely injured X'rhun.
• X'rhun is badly wounded, but it appears he will survive to fight another day. Speak with your mentor back in Revenant's Toll.
• Through the combined efforts of you and your fellow red mages, the plot to assassinate Garlond Ironworks' deputy president has ended in failure. in addition to Jessie's gratitude, X'rhun expresses his own thanks to you and Arya for helping him put right the wrongs of his past. Lambard and his cabal are no more, and your mastery of red magic has won a tangible victory for the good of the realm. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia once you have completed the main scenario quest “The Far Edge of Fate.”

• X'rhun proposes a journey to the cradle of red magery.
• X'rhun proposes a journey to the mountains of Gyr Abania, where you will visit the Ziggurat built by the red mages of eld. Within that ancient edifice, your mentor hopes to uncover clues to treating Arya's condition─just as he once unearthed the secrets of red magic alongside Lambard long ago. Travel to the region of Gyr Abania, and join X'rhun near the centuries-old monument.
• You meet X'rhun near the Ziggurat, and after a brief history lesson he sets you to work searching for records of Lambard's transformation ritual. Head into the ruins, and seek out any remaining stone tablets.
• You have obtained three stone tablets in varying degrees of degradation. Deliver them to X'rhun Tia.
• X'rhun glances over the tablets you have brought, and finds one that details a rite by which a mage would ingest the blood of a voidsent in exchange for supernatural power. the description of the hunger which befell such mages is uncannily similar to Arya's condition. Believing that the tonic explained on the same tablet should be effective in relieving your companion's suffering, X'rhun bids you procure the concoction's main ingredient: a massive urolith's core. Make your way to the Sleeping Stones, and engage the largest specimen you can find.
• You have defeated an unbreakable urolith, and liberated its pulsating core. Seek out X'rhun Tia in the Gyr Abanian hamlet of Ala Gannha, and hand over the ingredient.
• With the materials for the tonic in hand, X'rhun appears eager to call upon the expertise of the alchemists of Ul'dah. Whilst your mentor is busy having the concoction prepared, return to Idyllshire and apprise Arya of your progress.
• Upon imbibing the alchemical mixture, Arya seems to recover almost immediately from her weakened state. X'rhun is quick to remind her, however, that any arcane exertion could soon send her back into a state of mindless hunger. Continue to hone your own skills that you might better aid Arya in returning to her beloved journey along the path of the red mage. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun upon reaching level 65.

• X'rhun has a particular book he wishes to track down.
• X'rhun has recalled a particular book that Lambard would read with uncommon intensity, and wonders if it might contain a clue to Arya's condition. Remembering little of the rare tome aside from its macabre contents, your mentor bids you take Arya, and make an inquiry with Idyllshire's foremost treasure hunter, Midnight Dew.
• You describe the heretic's memoirs to Midnight Dew, and she is put in mind of a rare book spotted by a colleague in the depths of the Great Gubal Library. Return to Rowena's Center for Cultural Promotion, and tell X'rhun of the Nightkin.
• Upon hearing the book's title, X'rhun seems confident that the Nightkin is indeed the work you seek. Journey through the wilds of the Dravanian hinterlands to the Great Gubal Library, and prepare to guide your mentor through its now-darkened halls.
• You have fought your way through to Rhapsodies Quadrangle, and obtained the elusive Nightkin memoirs. Speak to X'rhun outside the library, and allow him to more fully peruse its contents.
• After confirming the book's authenticity, X'rhun hints that the information contained within will be of great interest to Arya. Return to Idyllshire, and join your colleagues inside Rowena's establishment.
• X'rhun shares with you the tale of the Nightkin and its author. from its pages, he has gleaned that Lambard and Arya are both descendants of a Mhachi sorcerer─an archmagus who forged a dark pact with the voidsent Lilith, and took her blood inside his own body. According to the story, the first Calowise then entrapped the fiendish queen upon the physical plane to preserve the potency of her gift. Thus do you come to the conclusion that the path to lifting the curse of Arya's affliction lies in releasing Lilith's soul to the void. X'rhun means to follow the clues in the memoirs to uncover the voidsent's prison, but first insists that you rest and prepare for the adventure which lies ahead! ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia upon reaching level 68.

• X'rhun has a new development to share with you.
• After hearing the tale of the heretic's memoirs, Arya has had a vivid dream about the long-dead murderer and the coffin-like prison within which Lilith was trapped. X'rhun decides that there is little to lose in confirming the details of Arya's vision, and suggests you accompany him to the Supreme Sacred Tribunal of Halonic Inquisitory Doctrine.
• Although X'rhun struggles in his negotiations to access the Tribunal archives, your status as Ishgard's savior soon wins over the sour-faced official. with little else to do whilst your mentor helps scour the records, you agree to meet Arya at the Last Vigil.
• As you and Arya are enjoying the view and discussing matters of existentialism, X'rhun arrives with the news that he has discovered the last known location of Lilith's prison─the description of which is eerily similar to the object in Arya's dream. Make your way into the Coerthas central highlands, and join your companions near the fiend-filled ravine of Witchdrop.
• You join X'rhun and Arya at the top of Witchdrop, and behold the voidsent lurking below. Descend into the ravine, and begin searching for the Mhachi coffin which brought you here.
• Your excavations in the snow uncover the object of your search, but a disembodied voice declares you unworthy to open the coffin. You suddenly come under attack, yet despite your victory the lid of the sinister box remains firmly closed. Return to X'rhun, and tell him of your discovery.
• You convey your findings to your red mage colleagues, and Arya offers to try her hand at opening the coffin. Head back to the unearthed object and lend Arya your support.
• Arya succeeds in opening the warded coffin, and from within emerges the sinuous form of the voidsent queen, Lilith. the undulating fiend claims to have schemed at Arya's conception for a thousand years, manipulating her blood-gifted ancestors into creating the perfect vessel for Lilith's earthly manifestation. Following this revelation, Lilith entrances her chosen host into approaching her, then both vanish without a trace. You are left to speak with a dumbfounded X'rhun.
• Though visibly shaken by the voidsent's sudden departure, X'rhun nevertheless holds out hope for your abducted companion. Return to Ishgard and discuss what can be done to rescue the unfortunate Arya.
• You arrive back in the Pillars, and X'rhun expresses his defiance in the face of voidsent-ordained destiny. Unwilling to abandon Arya to her fate, your mentor is determined to find her before Lilith can complete her ritual of possession. Focus your energies, and ensure you are prepared when the times comes to mount a rescue. ※The next red mage quest will be available from X'rhun Tia upon reaching level 70.

• X'rhun seeks the wisdom of the thaumaturges.
• X'rhun speaks of his own attempts to research voidsent possession, but admits that the subject is beyond his field of expertise. Reasoning that the Thaumaturges' Guild will have far more familiarity with the practices and history of ancient Mhach, your mentor bids you accompany him to the Arrzaneth Ossuary in Ul'dah.
• You join X'rhun as he explains Arya's predicament to Prelate Yayake, and the be-monocled thaumaturge agrees to consult some of the guild's forbidden tomes. After studying the lore at hand, Yayake provides you with not only the location for Lilith's ritual, but also a hint for surviving the coming confrontation─a ready supply of antidotes. X'rhun then steps away to contact Jessie, and arrange an airship to carry you both to the ruined city in the middle of Yafaem's impassable swampland. Speak with him upon his return.
• X'rhun reports that Jessie is more than happy to provide transport after Arya's selfless assistance during that “assassination business.” Travel to Revenant's Toll, and speak with the Ironworks' deputy president.
• You meet with Jessie in Revenant's Toll, and it seems that the deputy president herself will be taking the helm of the Mhach-bound vessel. the plan is simple: cut through the ruins, find Lilith, and snatch Arya from the voidsent queen's dead claws. with Yayake's pointed order of “STOCK SOME ANTIDOTES” echoing in your mind, you prepare for combat, and set out to join Jessie on the northern bank of Silvertear Lake.
• After a climactic battle with Lilith, you have succeeded in slaying the undulating voidsent and putting a stop to her unholy ritual. Escort Arya out of the ruins, and return to Mor Dhona.
• Arya has been delivered from Lilith's tainted embrace, her blood cleansed and soul unharmed. Once more have you and your companions proven that the heart and steel of a red mage can conquer the most tyrannical of foes. Speak with X'rhun on the banks of Silvertear Lake.
• Your companions seek to express their gratitude to Jessie, but the deputy president dismisses her assistance as a mere balancing of the books. Jessie says her farewells, and you set off after your comrades as they head back to Revenant's Toll.
• X'rhun praises your phenomenal growth as a red mage, and declares that you have graduated from his lessons. On the other hand, however, Arya's liberation from Lilith's influence and subsequent loss of power means that she must relearn the arcane arts at the most fundamental level. Until she is once more ready to take the red, the Crimson Duelist means to hang up his mentor's mantle and return to his pilgrimage. but rather than mourn this separation, X'rhun seems positive that the paths of you who defy the tides of destiny will one day cross again...
