^{IF WISHES WERE HORSEBIRDS}

Hozan's father is refusing to board the chartered carriage due to the fact that he finds the smell of chocobos repugnant-- a sentiment shared to varying degrees by most Domans, in fact. Recalling that a waitress in the Pissed Peiste also disliked chocobos for this reason, Hozan asks t hat you speak with her to see if she can provide a solution.

Folclind has taken to eschewing carriages entirely, and thus cannot offer a foolproof solution. What she can offer is a vial of peach blossom perfume, and the dubious suggestion that you douse the chocobos with it.

The nearby coachman is less than pleased with your experiment, but states that what is done is done. That being said, the efficacy of your approach is yet unknown. For the sake of Hozan's father, you must press your face against the chocobo and breathe deep of its musk.

As the pungent odor fills your sinuses ─ and the coachman's laughter fills your ears ─ you realize at once that you have made a huge mistake. After taking pleasure at your expense, the coachman advises you to try a different method ─ one utilized by goblins, it would seem. Press him for further information.

The coachman explains that goblins pack their masks with herbs and other fragrant compounds in order to filter the surrounding air. He then proposes a similar method utilizing a scarf and your perfume, which upon cursory inspection seems more than satisfactory. Deliver the perfumed scarf to Hozan.

Hozan is delighted with your solution and leaves at once to present the scarf to his father. Follow Hozan to the docks so that you may see if the scarf meets with his father's approval.

As his father breathes deep of the peach-scented scarf and recalls cherished memories, Hozan speaks fondly of the great orchards of Doma. However, he soon falls silent, and states that it is time to move on.

^{WHY WE ADVENTURE}

The road to Ul'dah may be regularly patrolled by the Brass Blades, but Hozan craves the peace of mind your presence would bring, and has thus requested that you accompany his party to Ul'dah. Speak with the coachman when you are ready to leave.

The coachman is concerned about recent sightings of a fearsome beast near the bridge to Hammerlea, and asks that you travel ahead of the carriage to survey the area. Should you encounter the creature in question, you are to assess the threat it poses, and take appropriate action.

Thanks to you, the road is now safe for travel once more. Retrace your steps and look for the carriage and its coachman outside Horizon.

As Hozan and Homei wax poetical about the debt they owe Yugiri, Yozan and Koharu push the two adults aside and begin peppering you with questions. Your motivations, your experiences, your secrets-- they would know them all and more. Fortunately, Hozan intervenes before they have a chance to ask you anything too embarrassing. Plainly fascinated by your chosen way of life, the two children resolve there and then to form a Doman Adventurers' Guild once they reach Revenant's Toll. First, however, they must rest awhile in Ul'dah. Report the group's safe arrival to Alphinaud in the Quicksand.

In a manner you have long since grown accustomed to, Alphinaud begins to speak of your next assignment having scarcely acknowledged the completion of the last. Stifle the sigh that longs to be set free and ask your fellow Scion for further details.

^{ALL DUE RESPECT}

Alphinaud believes it would be for the best if Yugiri made her formal introductions to the leaders of Revenant's Toll at the first opportunity. The Doman delegation would require an escort, of course, and he can think of no better man for the job. Make your way to Revenant's Toll and speak with Slafborn.

Slafborn warmly welcomes Yugiri to Revenant's Toll, insisting that they dispense with unnecessary formality and treat each other as equals. Having paid your respects to the guild representative, ask Yugiri if she is ready to meet with Minfilia.

Deep in thought, Yugiri requests a moment's privacy, assuring you that she will join you anon. Enter the Rising Stones and look for Minfilia in the solar.
You find Minfilia attempting to contact the Students of Baldesion via linkpearl-- more, you suspect, out of habit than hope. After briefly speculating upon their fate, she changes the subject and asks about the Domans-- to which you reply that Yugiri will arrive at any moment. In the subsequent meeting, Minfilia assures Yugiri that she will do her utmost to accommodate her people, as well as any others who may follow. With formal introductions now complete, all present part ways to make ready for the imminent arrival of the first carriages.

^{FULL BELLY, HAPPY HEART}

Minfilia suddenly recalls that she asked her mother to arrange a welcome supper for the first arrivals. Observing that you are unoccupied at present, she bids you ask F'lhaminn if there is aught which needs doing.

F'lhaminn informs you that the Seventh Heaven is responsible for preparing the meals, and that all should be proceeding according to plan. However, it would seem she too is a proponent of excess caution. You are to speak with Alys to confirm the state of the meals-- but not before collecting several bottles of wine which are to be delivered as well.

Wine bottles in hand, you are now ready to speak with Alys. Venture outside and inquire as to the status of the meals.

Alys willfully misinterprets your concern as an offer to deliver the meals in her stead, placing them on the counter and waiting expectantly for you to pick them up. Refusing at this point would accomplish little; collect the meals as bade.

In a remarkable display of dexterity, you secure the plates of food without the use of trays, bags, cases, or anything of the sort. Deliver the meals and wine to the Adventurers' Guild assistant outside the northern gates.

The assistant is bemused to see that it is none other than the legendary Warrior of Light who brought her the Domans' food. Regardless of the circumstances which led to your arrival, she is nonetheless grateful for your presence, as there is a situation which would benefit from your personal attention.

^{WRITHING IN THE DARK}

Wishing to prevent tragedy, the Adventurers' Guild assistant bids you cull rampant cobras along the road to Saint Coinach's Find. She supplies you with rancid eft meat, which should serve to lure the creatures from their nests. Make your way to the area of the imperial airship wreck, and see the deed done.

You have vanquished all the rampant cobras. Return to Revenant's Toll and report your success to the Adventurers' Guild assistant.

Having thanked you for your services, the attentive assistant informs you that something is brewing at the Rising Stones. Hasten there and speak with Minfilia to learn what is afoot.

Y'shtola returns from her investigation in Vylbrand, having confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Serpent Reavers were behind the crystal thefts. All evidence suggests that the Sahagin are preparing to summon Leviathan once more, and Admiral Merlwyb has petitioned the Scions' aid in preventing the primal's return. Desiring to learn the true nature of the Echo, Minfilia declares her intent to join you on this mission.

^{THE SEA RISES}

Minfilia impresses upon you the urgency of your mission to prevent Leviathan's return. Make for Limsa Lominsa without delay, and report to Admiral Merlwyb in her command room. Speak with Zanthael at Bulwark Hall to be granted admittance.

In the command room, the Admiral informs you that Maelstrom scouts have been dispatched to reconnoiter Sahagin movement within the Sapsa Spawning Grounds. Make your way to Camp Skull Valley in western La Noscea, and request the latest intelligence from Commander Falkbryda.

You have arrived at Camp Skull Valley, the operation's staging point. Be at ease for now and await further instructions.
