Topher: They say merchant caravans once used this juncture as a waypoint before setting off from Ala Mhigo to other lands. I hope to see it returned to such a use one day...

After completion of Stormblood

Topher: What a battle...
We paid for it in blood, but by Rhalgr, we won!

At the Top of the Stairs

Topher: [Grand Company Rank] [Surname], I have a mission that requires your immediate attention.
Topher: A squad I dispatched to secure a watchtower to the south of here has sent an urgent request for reinforcements.
Topher: The structure seemed abandoned according to our scouts, and I thought the few men I sent would be sufficient for the task... It appears I was wrong: they were ambushed by a superior force.
Topher: My remaining soldiers have left on other duties, and I fear the watchtower squad may not survive until the rest of our company can reach them.
Topher: You may be their only hope. Pray make haste to Sothwatch, and rendezvous with our Resistance fighters there.

(Optional)
Topher: Sothwatch is almost directly to the south of here. The lives of my men may depend upon the swiftness of your steed...

Topher: My men are no longer in danger, then? I thank you for rushing to their aid, [Grand Company Rank].
Topher: These dhruvas you encountered... No one is certain how they came about, but one theory describes them as a manner of naturally occurring golem─crystals that have spontaneously shaped themselves into monstrous forms.
Topher: They appear and act like living beings, but have no intelligence to speak of. All we know is that dhruvas are drawn to other creatures in a relentless hunt for aether. Gyr Abanians have learned to loathe and fear them.
Topher: They used to hire mercenaries to clear out the worst of such nightmares, but it would seem the imperials neglected even that simple task. They care not what befalls the citizens of their conquered provinces...
Topher: I will take news of this incident to my superiors, and see that any potential dhruva haunts are properly scouted in the future. Again, you have my thanks.
