Journal

• Though your attempt on Zenos's life ended in failure, it spurred the people of Doma to rise up and openly oppose the imperials in battle. Convinced that this is the sign that Lord Hien has been waiting for, you and your comrades embark on a journey to the Azim Steppe to seek out the young heir and convince him to return to lead his people in a new rebellion against the Empire. And so you depart once more for the Ruby Sea, and a familiar fishing village on the coast.

• From Isari you must continue north, towards a tunnel leading through the mountains. Yugiri spares only a moment to tell you this before leaving the village, eager to catch up to Lyse and Gosetsu.

• The Steppe is vast and endless, and possessed of a quiet solemnity. Lyse too seems struck by the sight, and once more you note the faraway look in her eyes, as if she yearns to hold tight to this moment, this memory...

• Yugiri tells you that what you see before you is but a fraction of a greater whole. To the north lies Reunion -- your destination, and the ninja bids you follow.

• You come to the gates of what appears to be a bustling marketplace, filled with Xaela from all across the Steppe. It is here where you will begin your search for Lord Hien. With luck, it will not take too long...

Dialogue

Optional

Gosetsu: I should not be surprised that he sought refuge in the Steppe. We were separated during a skirmish in the northern mountains...

Alisaie: We both have long roads ahead of us. Good luck to us both, eh?

Alphinaud: A pity we have no time to speak at length, but there is no rest for the righteous. Godsspeed!

Lyse: So, um, what kind of place is the Azim Steppe? 

Accepting the quest

Yugiri: If all are ready, let us depart for Reunion in the Azim Steppe. 
Yugiri: Our route will be somewhat circuitous. We will need to return to the Ruby Sea and head north along the coast, past Isari...

Following Yugiri to Isari

Yugiri: From here we will turn north until we arrive at a cave, through which we must pass in order to reach the Azim Steppe.
Yugiri: Lyse and Gosetsu have already gone on ahead. We should carry on as well.

(Optional)

Lyse: The people of Isari seem to be doing well. That's a relief...

Gosetsu: Ah, there you are! This is the cave. After you, [Forename]!

Journeying to the Azim Steppe (Voiceover)

Lyse: I remember the emptiness. Vast and endless.
The Azim Steppe, home to countless roaming tribes.

Lyse: A sacred land watched over by elder gods. Here we would find Doma's salvation.
Lyse: With the wind at our backs we walked on. In search of hope. In search of him.

Optional

Lyse: It's very...flat. Except where it's not, I suppose.

Gosetsu: Othard is vast and filled with many different peoples. I know next to nothing about the Xaela and their ways—but we shall learn together, shall we not?

Speaking with Yugiri

Yugiri: I give you the Azim Steppe, [Forename]. Though I should say that this is but one small portion of it.
Yugiri: Despite the close proximity, Domans rarely venture this far north. Most find these lands and their people strange and foreign...
Yugiri: Fortunately, those who frequent Reunion are more welcoming than most. 
Come─it is not much further.

Optional

Lyse: Is it just me, or is everyone here Xaela?

Gosetsu: I must confess that this is my first time on the Steppe...

Speaking with Yugiri

Yugiri: Welcome to Reunion, my friends. Here is where we will begin our search for Lord Hien.
