Dialogue

Quest Acceptance

Hien: Right, then. To the House of the Fierce. With me, my friends!

Speak with Gosetsu

Gosetsu: I have not used the road before, but... Ah. I recognize this place. The House of the Fierce should lie somewhere to the south. I will go on ahead and inform the sentries of our master's return.

Speak with Hien

Hien: Here we are! I wonder if they are all gathered inside, waiting...perhaps expecting a speech or some such... Well! No matter! I shall have to do what I shall have to do!

Hien: Brothers and sisters, pray forgive me my absence. It has been far too long.
Yugiri: Lord Hien! (Yugiri kneels before Hien:). Gosetsu told us of your trials and tribulations on the Steppe. Would that I had been present to witness your victory, my lord.
Hien: Our victory, Yugiri, owed as much to each of my stalwart comrades as it did to me. Now, rise - I will not suffer this excess of formality any longer. Alphinaud and Alisae Leveilleur, I presume? I am told we owe you much. It is a pleasure to meet you both.
Alphinaud: The pleasure is ours, Lord Hien. Though we were born and raised a world apart, our values are one and the same: freedom, justice, liberty. Each of which Doma shall soon enjoy once more.
Alisaie: Hopefully. I understand you have brought an army?
Hien: Indeed. The Xaela tribes of the Azim Steppe have pledged their military might to the cause.
Alisaie: Good. We, meanwhile, have secured the support of the Confederacy, and a not insignificant number of your countrymen. The Blue Kojin, too, have expressed a willingness to join the fight - provided you agree to certain trade agreements following the liberation of Doma.
Yugiri: The shinobi will render what aid they can. However, Sui-no-Sato refused to answer our call.
Hien: No matter. What forces we have amassed far exceed my original expectations. You have my thanks.
Alphinaud: You should know that Zenos departed Doma not long after you left to find Lord Hien. We know not the reason why, but it would seem he was eager to return to Gyr Abania.
Lyse: What? Have you heard anything from the Resistance? There hasn't been another attack, has there?
Alphinaud: Tataru assures me they are quite well. You need not worry. If anything, this turn of events would seem to be to our advantage.
Alisaie: But there the good news ends. Yotsuyu retains her position as acting viceroy, and we have reports that the garrison at Doma Castle is preparing for a massive operation... We suspect that the Empire's attempt to eliminate you on the Steppe may have been a prelude to a larger effort to purge the remaining pockets of resistance within Doma.
Gosetsu: The hour of reckoning is upon us.
What will you say? (...Then victory will soon be ours! / ...But are we ready? ) -> ...Then victory will soon be ours!
Hien: Hah hah hah! The khagan has spoken! And I for one am not inclined to argue. In this place, in this moment, I call upon you all! Twenty-five years of oppression, of tyranny, of shame - it ends with us! We will prevail!

Speak with Alphinaud

Alphinaud: Once more, welcome back. It is good to see you again, [Forename]. Ah, yes. There is another recent development we neglected to share with you. Alisaie and I have been hard at work attempting to restore the aetheryte here to its former glory...and I am pleased to inform you that we succeeded! Suffice it to say, it should prove a boon for travel - well, for those replete with anima like you, at least...
