How goes the training, friends?
|
Alka Zolka
|
As [Player Name]'s comrade-in-arms, it is clear that her/his prowess with the scholarly arts has increased immeasurably thanks to Sergeant Tolga's advice.
|
Alka Zolka
|
Alas, the same cannot be said for me... I had already thought myself a master of Nymian techniques, frankly, based on what I had gleaned from the tablets we uncovered. But the sergeant's training has robbed me of that notion.
|
Alka Zolka
|
I am still a novice. Until Sergeant Tolga says I am worthy, I wish to continue training!
|
Surito Carito
|
Your ambition does you well, Alka Zolka. Stay true to this path, and you will become as fine a marine as ever marched under our banner.
|
Surito Carito
|
Well, I suppose I have no choice but to ask you to do the work of two, [Player Name].
|
Surito Carito
|
I have tried every method known to me to find our missing voidsent, but without success. It seems Nymian magicks will not suffice.
|
Alka Zolka
|
That comes as little surprise. This voidsent was in Mhach's thrall, and likely chosen for its ability to circumvent Nymian wards.
|
Surito Carito
|
Yes, which is why I hope your academics have answers I do not. Have you any writings on voidsent?
|
Alka Zolka
|
I believe the Thaumaturges' Guild in Ul'dah has a collection dating back centuries, including some authored by their Belah'dian forefathers.
|
Surito Carito
|
Belah'dian, not Mhachi? Hmmm...perhaps they were the heirs to the voidmage legacy. In any case, this Ul'dah seems worth a visit. Will you go in my stead, [Player Name]?
|
Alka Zolka
|
I suggest you seek out Yayake. She is an old friend whose love of ancient tomes rivals mine own.
|
Alka Zolka
|
I wish I could see her in person. But I must continue my training, as well as look after the new recruits.

One! Two! Three!

Alka Zolka
|
To victory, [Player Name]─come hells or high water!

It is good to see Halga active again.
|
Halga Tolga
|
When I'm done with you whoresons, you might be worthy of the Royal Marines! Until then, you're no better to me than pudding, and rotten pudding at that!
|
|
Yayake
|
Welcome to the Thaumaturges' Guild. It is fate that has guided your steps here, friend.
|
Yayake
|
Ah, [Player Name]! Is today the day you delve into the one hundred and eight volumes of fundamental thaumaturgical principle? No?
|
Yayake
|
Ah, our own avatar of devastation. To what do we owe the pleasure?
|
Yayake
|
Alka? Alka Zolka? That is not a name I expected to hear! But I am glad my fellow booklover is well.
|
Yayake
|
Hmmm... I have indeed read of voidsent able to perfectly conceal their form. There was a tome on the subject─Unseen was the title─penned in the Fifth Astral Era. Unfortunately, it is no longer a part of our collection.
|
Yayake
|
A member of the guild borrowed it for his research expedition, a project which was to last some few moons. However, that was five years ago, and he has not been heard from since.
|
Yayake
|
A pity. He proposed the most fascinating theories on voidsent, and traveled to the western highlands of Coerthas to put them to the proof. Alas, that area was rendered inhospitable by the Calamity...
|
Yayake
|
There is a chance, of course, that the man is alive, and the book unharmed. We traced his journey as far as Falcon's Nest. Mayhap someone there can point you towards where he ventured next.
|
Yayake
|
If you are bent on retrieving that book, I suggest you make way for Falcon's Nest. The researcher who borrowed it from our library was last seen there before he vanished.
|
|
Redwald
|
How now, adventurer?
|
Redwald
|
On the trail of a researcher who visited five years ago? Hm... That is not much to go on.
|
Redwald
|
The garrison was still stationed here in those days. Soubinie is in charge of organizing the records. If any here know of your researcher, it will be her.
|
Redwald
|
Soubinie has the records of all that happened here five years ago─or what remains of them.
|
|
Soubinie
|
Oh. H-Hello... How might I help you...?
|
Soubinie
|
A man researching voidsent? Yes...yes, where was it he was mentioned?
|
Soubinie
|
Ah, that's right. He stayed here for a time before taking the North Star downriver...
|
Soubinie
|
...Which was one among many sunk by that fearsome primal's rampage during the Calamity. The lucky few who made it to shore were then...eaten by vilekin!?
|
Soubinie
|
Er... Well, the boat ran aground, and hasn't moved since the river froze over. You may wish to search the wreck yourself, though do be careful of the local wildlife.
|
Redwald
|
To the Coerthas River, eh? The fastest way there is astride a black chocobo.
|
Soubinie
|
O-Oh! I thought you were going to search the North Star in the Coerthas River.
|
|
Surito Carito
|
Have you found anything to aid our cause?
|
Surito Carito
|
These things have all seen better days. Ah, but here is the book! And the writing is still legible.
|
Surito Carito
|
It will take time and patience, but I am hopeful its secrets will allow us to snare our invisible voidsent!
|
Alka Zolka
|
Do mine ears deceive me, or did you track down a book? Splendid, [Player Name]!
|
Alka Zolka
|
As for me, I would like to think I've improved by leaps and bounds, thanks to Sergeant Tolga. The recruits are coming along nicely as well.
|
Alka Zolka
|
With a bit more training, every individual in our unit will be able and ready to face our voidsent foe in battle!
|
Surito Carito
|
Very good. Then let us all attend to our tasks─the day of reckoning will be upon us soon enough.
|
Quest complete.
