— In-game description
Rewards
- Choose one of the following options:
Walkthrough
As of Patch 5.3, completion of the Crystal Tower sidequest chain up through 
The Light of Hope is required to pass this point. These 
alliance raids are not difficult and can be done blind in the Duty Finder. Tanks will have the longest queue times as only 3 of the 24 players in Alliance Raids are tanks.
Steps
- Speak with the unsettled scholar at Urth's Fount.
- Stand guard as the scholar takes measurements.
- Speak with Minfilia at the Rising Stones.
Journal

- Eager to obtain additional readings with which to confirm his theory, your scholarly companion proposes a visit to Urth's Fount. Proceed to the next─and hopefully final─survey site.
- Having arrived in Urth's Fount, the scholar bids you do what you have done before: stand watch at an appropriate distance while he takes his measurements.
- The survey takes a tragic twist when the scholar discovers the body of Wilred, the young Ala Mhigan whom you personally recruited to the Crystal Braves. Hoary Boulder and Coultenet soon arrive at the scene, and they conclude that the boy was murdered─though by whom and for what reason they can only speculate.

- The news of Wilred's death comes as a shock to Minfilia, who cannot fathom why anyone would want to harm the boy. In a hollow voice, she declares that Alphinaud will want to conduct an investigation and send word to Wilred's family, before sinking back into her own thoughts...

Scion, come here! I-I need you! <<
