Minfilia would have you ascertain the sylph tribe's intentions, aided by the power of the Echo. Before making contact with the diminutive beastmen, report to Commander Vorsaile Heuloix at the Adders' Nest in Gridania.
You arrive at the Adders' Nest to find the commander thinking out loud. Apprise him as to the purpose of your visit.
Objectives[]
Speak with Vorsaile Heuloix at the Adders' Nest.
Notes[]
This quest unlocks the player's ability to progress into their starting class's job at level 30.

Minfilia
Now, having set aside the formalities...
Minfilia
...We have a favor to ask of you.
Minfilia
Urianger. Have the documents arrived from the Students of Baldesion?
Urianger
Aye, my lady, they arrived but recently.
Minfilia
We have conducted a study at the behest of the Order of the Twin Adder.
Minfilia
Papalymo, Yda─a synopsis, if you would.
Papalymo
Our task was to survey the behavior of the sylphs, a beast tribe indigenous to the Twelveswood.
Yda
Oh, how to describe them... They look like...gysahl greens? Floating ones! That worship the primal Ramuh.
Papalymo
Ahem. Though technically a “beast tribe,” sylphs are blessed with a comparatively personable demeanor, conducive to peaceful communication.
Minfilia
Offering us an invaluable opportunity to learn what the beast tribes know of the primals.
Papalymo
While Ramuh's existence is well documented, the sylphs do not─or perhaps, can not─summon the primal any longer, insofar as can be ascertained. Until such time as we know...
Papalymo
...It would be unwise to assume that the threat posed by the primal has passed.
Yda
Which leaves Gridania with the added worry of not knowing what they should be worrying about!
Papalymo
In that regard, they are hardly alone. What we can say with absolute certainty is that Gridania has its hands full fending off Garuda.
Papalymo
Who, I need hardly remind you, is among the most savage and terrible of all known primals.
Minfilia
In short, it is essential that we approach the sylphs in as diplomatic a manner as possible.
Minfilia
Words and actions can be misconstrued. The only sure way to communicate our intentions is the Echo.
Minfilia
Winning the sylphs' favor may well bring us a step closer to mitigating the threat of the primals. Will you help us?
Minfilia
I am grateful.
Thancred
Lovely! Well, as much as I'd like to help, I'm afraid I would be of little use to anyone in Gridania. A veritable babe in the woods.
Thancred
Yda and Papalymo, however, should be able to see the forest for the trees. Is that not so, Minfilia?
Minfilia
Indeed. You are willing?
Yda
Leave it to me!
Papalymo
Us, Yda. Us!
Vorsaile
We know far too little of the sylphs to lay any worthwhile plans. We must call upon the Scions once more if we are to─
Vorsaile
Ah, beg pardons. 'Tis a terrible habit of mine to think aloud. But tell me, what brings you to the Adders' Nest?
