Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Portelaine: My purpose here is to reconnoiter Garlean activity along Abalathia's Spine. Owing to this, I have the honor of being acquainted with Y'shtola. Portelaine: Now, the report of the imperial airship's emergency landing came to us by way of Dzemael Darkhold, situated to the west. Portelaine: Our man stationed at the entrance, a knight named Bricelt, may be able to tell you more. So as to expedite your mission, I shall furnish you with a letter of introduction. Portelaine: I pray that you will soon be reunited with your comrades. May the Fury grant you strength.
Showing the letter of introduction to Bricelt
Bricelt: You stand before Dzemael Darkhold, the subterranean fortress excavated by the great Ishgardian house of the same name. None but authorized personnel may enter. <Hand Over Letter to Bricelt> Bricelt: A letter from Lord Portelaine? ...So you have come about the imperial airship. Bricelt: According to our scouts, the vessel had scarce touched the ground when a pair of men─captives, by all accounts─burst forth and bolted. Imperial soldiers have since been sighted in the area, seeking to recapture them. Bricelt: What? The captives are like to be your friends, you say? Then let us pray that they are yet a step ahead of their pursuers... Bricelt: The emergency landing reportedly took place near the Aurum Vale, situated south and west of here. I suggest you take your search there. Seek out a knight named Pierremons─he should be able to assist you.
Speaking with Pierremons
Pierremons: ...The imperial airship? Aye, I saw it approach to land with mine own two eyes. Pierremons: I hastened to the landing site, arriving just in time to see the vessel take to the skies again, but not before it had deployed a detachment of troops. Gruff orders were being barked, and there was an air of consternation about them.
