Dialogue
Optional
Alisaie: If anyone can determine the fate of Shinryu and Omega, it's Master Garlond. For now, let us remain focused on our current mission.
Y'shtola: Were Omega not a threat to us all, its effectiveness in subduing draconic foes would seem almost admirable. But such weapons are doomed to be misused. Let us pray we never have need of its services again.
Krile: I do hope you're not thinking about running off to help Master Garlond. It is not your duty to solve all of the world's problems, you know!
Alphinaud: The bridge over the Velodyna River has always held great strategic importance, hence the Garleans' decision to transform it into a fortified installation. Needless to say, we will not be crossing there.
Accepting the Quest
Lyse: As you've probably heard, there are plenty of factions in the Resistance, so I'm taking us to see the one with the most influence. Lyse: Their headquarters are located in a place called Rhalgr's Reach—an old temple, to the east of here, across the Velodyna River. Lyse: I learned a route that should allow us to avoid imperial patrols. Stick with me and we'll be there before you know it!
Optional
Raubahn: Keep to the north and cross upstream. The black bridge belongs to the Garleans—for now.
Alisaie: It's so quiet. Almost as though the imperials haven't been here for some time...
Y'shtola: On your guard. The imperials know these lands better than we.
Krile: At the risk of upsetting the cartographic fraternity, I can't help observing that “East End” depends entirely on one's perspective. I mean, people don't even think of it as Gridania anymore, do they?
Alphinaud: They call it East End because it marks the end of the Black Shroud. Note the sparser vegetation.
Following Lyse
Lyse: Still with me? Good. From here, we'll head northeast towards the river. The water's not too deep, so we won't have to swim.
Optional
Alphinaud: At a glance, it certainly seems shallow enough...
Alisaie: Heh heh... See, Brother? Nothing to worry about. ...Though no one would blame you for donning your buoyancy aids, just in case.
Y'shtola: We should not linger out here in the open.
Krile: Y'shtola's right. We need to cross before the imperials spot us.
Following Lyse (Cutscene)
Lyse: I don't see any soldiers. Good. Let's cross. Lyse: You're wondering about the tower to the south? Lyse: It's part of Castellum Velodyna. That's what the imperials decided to call the old bridge after they fortified it. Lyse: I call it a great big eyesore. Honestly, you can see that rotten banner from absolutely malms away. <sigh> They never miss a chance to rub our noses in it, do they... Come on, we should keep moving.
Optional
Alisaie: Are we there yet?
Y'shtola: Lyse did well. It is...reassuring.
Krile: And we didn't run afoul of even a single patrol! What a pleasant surprise─in that there were no surprises.
Alphinaud: So, the Reach lies beyond? But I do not see a path...
Following Lyse (Cutscene)
Lyse: We're here. On the other side of this pass is Rhalgr's Reach.
Alphinaud: So you say, but all I see are rocks. I presume there is some sort of trick to this?
Y'shtola: ...Indeed. A glamour.

Lyse: So they know us, and they shouldn't attack us on sight. That said, they can be a bit jumpy, so let me lead the way, and, uh...don't go reaching for your weapons or anything. Lyse: And with a sprinkle of demasking dust, all is laid bare!
Optional
Alphinaud: Seeing it now, I feel rather foolish for not having deduced it earlier.
Lyse: All clear! Let's go, let's go!
Y'shtola: Impressive or no, twenty years is a long time for even so complex a glamour to escape the Empire's notice...
Alisaie: I suppose you could disguise almost anything with a glamour prism, if you really wanted to. Have you ever used one? Why am I asking─of course you haven't.
Krile: Let us pray that they are amenable to our proposal. United, we stand to accomplish so much more...
Entering Rhalgar's Reach (Cutscene)
Lyse: I remember the old stories. How the breaker of worlds came down from on high and cleft the earth with a single blow. Lyse: Rhalgr's Reach. A holy place, and a fitting home for the Resistance. For the brave and the true, the loyal sons and daughters of Ala Mhigo. Lyse: They were waiting for us there. Men and women whose souls still cried out for what was lost. For what could be ours again.
Optional
Alisaie: It's hard to feel at ease with that giant statue looking down on you...
Y'shtola: Fascinating... A massive, nigh-imperceptible glamour encompassing the entire valley... I see now how the settlement was able to escape the watchful eyes of imperial airships.
Krile: Ordinarily, I'd shudder at the thought of armed rebels trampling about in an ancient temple of immense historical importance─but Rhalgr is the breaker of worlds, so it seems rather appropriate, if anything.
Alphinaud: This temple was once home to the Fist of Rhalgr, as I recall. Yes...there is no mistaking that statue.
Lyse: It's good to see Naago up and moving again. I wasn't there when she headed home, so I naturally assumed she'd left too soon. Always overdoing it, that one.
M'naago: A pleasure to see you again─and Krile and Y'shtola, without whose help I might not be standing here today. At least, not so soon.
Meffrid: Ho, so you really came. I never thought I'd see you here, but I'm glad. I'm glad...
Speaking with Conrad
Conrad: You'll forgive us our precautions, but we couldn't be sure who had crossed the barrier. We see you now for who you are, though─the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
