Dialogue
Speak with Alphinaud
Alphinaud: I say we should heed the captain's advice and attend to our own preparations while they ready the vessel for departure. Tataru and I will procure the necessary supplies. Alisaie...I should be grateful if you would use the time to brief Urianger on recent developments. You may also wish to review the relevant safety procedures in the event of an emergency at sea. Alisaie: How...how very prudent of you. Very well, I shall go speak of him. What of [Forename] and Lyse? Alphinaud: I would like the two of you to return to Revenant's Toll and speak with our Doman allies. I fear we know too little of their homeland, and any information they can provide would be most welcome. When we have completed our respective tasks, we will reconvene here at the ferry docks. Agreed? Lyse: Sounds like a plan! Let's go, [Forename]!
Speak with Lyse in Revenant's Toll
Lyse: Well, here we are. We'll need to talk to lots of people, so I think we should split up. I'll ask around at the House of Splendors. You take the Rising stones. I'll meet you here after. Got it?
Speak with the Domans in the Rising Stones
Higiri: Greetings, [Forename]. What brings you to the Toll this eve? What? You are for Doma? Heavens....You Scions have shown us naught but kindness, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine you would fight for our homeland... For twenty-five years we suffered under their tyranny. And then we spied an opportunity - the Emperor, dead! Garlemald in chaos! It seemed the time was ripe. Beneath our lord's banners we gathered, and fought to reclaim our nation. But when Zenos arrived with the XIIth Legion, it was over in an instant...
Homei: You are truly planning to travel to Doma? I...I do not know what to say...Forgive me. I shall aid you to the best of my ability. Ours is a beautiful land, nestled on the eastern coast of Othard. Along the banks of the One River, our nation thrived, proud and free, until the Garleans came, twenty-five years ago... The river was our lifeblood, free to travel and fish...but travel was soon restricted, and now the river belongs to none...
Hozan: Hm? What is it, my friend? You look as though you have something to ask. That you go to join Yugiri and Gosetsu in the fight fills me with such joy! Ah, forgive my exuberance. You require information, yes? We of the Nagae clan have served Doma faithfully for generations. My ancestors held positions within Doma Castle, even. Now it is home to the imperial viceroy's witch, and her host of men and magitek. To think that what was once the shining symbol of our heritage - and the seat of dear Lord Kaien - has become a den for Garlean dogs.,,
Speak with Lyse in Revenant's Toll
Lyse: Ah, there you are! Learn anything interesting? The older Domans I spoke with tried to teach me all about Far Eastern customs and the importance of formality and politeness... I'd like to think Eorzeans can be just as stiff and stuffy as anyone - especially Ishgardians - but anyway... Did you know they eat with sticks? It wasn't all that hard, actually - or at least, that's what I thought until they told me I was holding them wrong. And then when I spoke with the younger Domans, they just rolled their eyes and told me it was all a load of stupid old - Hm? Wow...What you learned sounds a lot more useful. Unless someone invites us for dinner, of course. I hope they do.
