Journal

• Momodi reveals to you that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn is an order which seeks to combat the various problems that plague Eorzea. Its members are always looking for capable individuals to recruit to their cause, and it appears your recent exploits have drawn their attention. The Scions are headquartered in a place called the Waking Sands, situated at Vesper Bay in western Thanalan. Make your way there and present yourself to the guardsman.

• At the entrance to the Waking Sands, you find not a guardsman but a bubbly clerk named Tataru, who informs you that the Antecedent awaits within. Let Tataru know when you are ready to be shown through.

• You meet with Minfilia, the leader of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, who tells you about your power -- the Echo -- and how it is the key to solving the primal problem. At the end of a lengthy exposition, Minfilia implores you lend your strength to their cause, and in good faith entrusts you with the order's password: “wild rose.”

Dialogue

Scion of the Seventh Dawn: I take it you are [Forename] [Surname]. Tataru sent word that you had arrived.

Scion of the Seventh Dawn: Lady Minfilia has eagerly awaited your coming. This way, if you please.

[Voiced Cutscene START]

???: So you are the adventurer of whom I've heard so much.

Minfilia: Well met, friend. My name is Minfilia, and I lead the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.

Minfilia: I have awaited your coming.

Minfilia: Please, be at ease. You are among friends here.

You walk up to the desk. You turn your head towards Yda and Papalymo, who smile and wave at you.

Minfilia: No doubt you're ripe to burst with questions, but have patience─all will be revealed in time.

Minfilia: First, let me begin by telling you who we are and what we do.

Minfilia: We are the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, an order that transcends political boundaries. Our single objective is the preservation of the future of Eorzea.

Minfilia: Among our gravest concerns are the godlike beings known as the primals.

Minfilia: Their existence is a bane upon Eorzea─nay, the world at large, and we have striven to find a lasting solution to the threat they pose.

Minfilia: Our order is home to a number of individuals who, like you, possess a rare and special talent.

Minfilia: This talent takes various forms, but one holds particular interest for us.

Minfilia: Tell me, have you ever experienced a sudden, inexplicable loss of consciousness?

Minfilia: Have you ever had the sensation of being pulled away from reality? Felt as though you were hovering in space, a mind without a body?

Minfilia: All these things are the manifestations of your talent. Yours is the power to transcend the boundaries of the soul─a power known as the Echo.

Minfilia: The Echo allows you to pass through the walls of a man's soul, and hear the resonations of his past.

Minfilia: You will be there in his memories, and see things as he saw them. You may even interact with that which you see, though you cannot change the outcome of events.

Minfilia: For another blessing, the Echo will enable you to know a man's mind even if you cannot comprehend his words.

Minfilia: In short, the Echo is a truly extraordinary power. And this power is strong within you.

Minfilia: It is only a shame that we cannot use it whensoever we choose.

Minfilia: That's right. I too possess the Echo.

Minfilia: With that established, let us return to the subject of the primals.

Minfilia: So long as they exist, the realm cannot take so much as a single step towards true peace.

Minfilia: Measures must be taken─measures which transcend boundaries, be they of faction, race, language, or creed. And to do so, the Scions require the aid of those with our talent.

Minfilia: Make no mistake─the Echo will be instrumental in dealing with the primal threat. Without it, we cannot hope to save the realm.

Minfilia: I know not what it is you desire for yourself, nor what it was that first brought you to Eorzea.

Minfilia: But I firmly believe that the power we possess was given to us for a purpose.

Minfilia: Why else would the gods entrust man with a gift so extraordinary, if not to have him use it?

Minfilia: And so I implore you: lend us your power.

NPC Dialogue in the Waking Sands

A'aba Tia: The Antecedent made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Said that if I joined, I'd get to fight against the primals and the imperials both to my heart's content.

A'aba Tia: Aye, I know I could get the same by enlistin' in one of 'em Grand Companies. But I've never been partial to salutin', if ye know what I mean.

Aulie: That receptionist is something else. Did you perchance notice how small she's written the names in her roll? I couldn't make out a single one, no matter how hard I tried!

Aulie: ...Sorry, just trying to make idle conversation. This whole affair has me all worked up. I thought for sure that it was some sort of scam─that they were rounding up hapless adventurers for some nefarious ends.

Aulie: But now that I've seen the facilities for myself, I must confess it looks legitimate...

Arenvald: I had a dream unlike any other. I was myself, but then I became something...more. When I spoke of it to others, they directed me here. Did you have one too?
