Dialogue
Speak with Y'shtola
Y'shtola: In my youth, I had the honor of studying under Matoya. In the field of aetheric research, she was without rival. I have no doubt that her knowledge will be of aid to our cause. The question is, will she share it with us? My master has ever been willful - the gods forbid anyone disagrees with her. When the Garlean Empire first marched upon Eorzea some fifteen years ago, the denizens of Sharlayan were summoned back to the motherland. However, Matoya refused to joint he exodus. To this day, she lives a hermit's life on the fringes of the abandoned city. Alphinaud: So it is to the Dravanian hinterlands that we must go. To the place of my birth... Though Alisaie and I were born in Sharlayan, our days there were short. We remained only until the exodus, and I have not returned since. Y'shtola: Oh, so it's to be a homecoming, then? As fine a reason as any to go to Sharlayan, and it would afford us the opportunity to pay my master a visit. Alphinaud: Ahem. I believe you have mistaken our primary objective, Y'shtola. At any rate, the journey will take us through largely unknown territory. Let us first return to Ishgard and make our preparations.
Speak with Alphinaud in Ishgard
Alphinaud: Sharlayan is situated in the Dravnian hinterlands. To get there, we must strike west and traverse the breadth of the Dravanian forelands. Make no mistake, it will be a grueling journey. The party shall be comprised of [forename], Y'shtola and myself. Tataru, pray remain in Ishgard and continue the search for our missing friends. Tataru: Yes, sir! Alphinaud: First, let us make for Tailfeather.
Speak with Y'shtola at Tailfeather=
Y'shtola: A long soak in the Lifestream followed by a long journey... I would not recommend it to anyone. But rest assured my strength is returning to me. I shall be back to my former self ere long.
