===Accepting the Quest (Cutscene)===
'''Alphinaud:''' Though our friends in House Fortemps have been generous enough to extend us their protection, we must take care not to impose too much on their hospitality.
'''Alphinaud:''' It is only proper that we learn about our new home, so that we might become more self-sufficient.


==Journal==
'''Tataru:''' It'll take a while to learn the lay of the land, but learn it we must. Then there's the markets and taverns─we'll need to know where to shop and where to hear small talk.

'''Alphinaud:''' 'Twould seem a tour of the city is indeed in order.
'''Alphinaud:''' I thank you for your counsel, my lord. My companions and I shall of course do as you suggest.
 
'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' Very good. Then my manservant shall accompany you. He will be able to answer any questions you might have.
'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' Ah, but I grow forgetful in my dotage─there is something I must give you ere we part.
'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' Their documentation is in order, I trust?
 
'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' Yes, my lord.
 
'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' Those documents identify you as wards of House Fortemps.
'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' Given that our borders have remained closed for decades, many of my countrymen are unaccustomed to treating with foreigners.
'''Count Edmont de Fortemps:''' Should anyone happen to question your presence here, it may prove necessary to remind them that you remain under the protection of House Fortemps. But let us hope it shall not come to that.
 
'''Alphinaud:''' Rest assured that we shall do our utmost to avoid any situation which might compel us to invoke your name.
'''Alphinaud:''' [Forename], Tataru─the city awaits.

'''Artoirel:''' Greetings, Scion, and welcome. We are honored by your presence.
 
'''Alphinaud:''' I confess, it had long been a dream of mine to visit Ishgard. To my childish self, her towers, bridges, and cobbled streets seemed akin to something from a faerie tale─and I have never quite outgrown the fantasy.

'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' The Hoplon, so named for the bronze greatshield borne by our nation's patron deity, is the largest plaza in Ishgard.

'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' The Vault is both Ishgard's seat of government and the residence of the archbishop of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.
 
'''Alphinaud:''' Begging your pardon... The statues to the south─are they perchance Thordan's famed “knights twelve”?
 
'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' Very good, Master Alphinaud. They are the fathers of Ishgard─the brave knights who joined with King Thordan I to put down Nidhogg and found this great nation.
'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' Ours is a city rich in history and tradition, and there is much you can learn by exploring the Pillars─time permitting, of course.
'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' Now then, if you would follow me to the Jeweled Crozier, I shall introduce you to Mistress Elaisse, our master of the markets.
 
====Optional Dialogue====
'''Alphinaud:''' Not a single scorched stone in sight... To watch these merchants going about their business, one would think the dragons had never attacked.
 
'''Tataru:''' If you want to buy something, let me do the talking. I could haggle for Ul'dah!
 
'''House Fortemps Manservant:''' I present to you Mistress Elaisse. Mayhap you would like to say a few words?
