Momodi, matron of the Quicksand, has informed you that a group of the city guard has hastily left the city by chocobo. Travel to the chocobo stables to learn what you can of their destination.


Rururaji of the chocobo stables has told you that the city guard was indeed dispatched after receiving word of some kind of trouble. Among them was the Songstress of Ul'dah, F'lhaminn, who looked to be visibly panicked. The group seems to have set out after the exiled thaumaturge Corguevais, who made off with the young Ascilia. Does me mean to take her and return to Ala Mhigo? Set out by chocobo coach and give pursuit.


In the northwest of central Thanalan, you find Niellefresne and his companions, who have come upon the fleeing Corguevais. Ascilia has discovered that it was the scheming of Niellefresne and the others that caused her father's death. Raging, she reveals that the threat which they suspect to be the Garlean Empire is actually something far worse. But what could this be...? Niellefresne attempts to learn more from Corguevais, but the thaumaturge reveals only that he has no intentions of letting the companions live. it is he who now holds the mysterious horn, and he uses it to summon a swarm of minemites which attack the others. Join forces with them to defeat the beasts and escape alive.


You and the others mange to defeat the minemites, but F'lhaminn sustained wounds and has been taken to Frondale's Phrontistery. What will become of her? And of the child, Ascilia? Visit the Phrontistery to learn more.


In the Phrontistery, you are greeted by a young alchemist named Damielliot. He informs you that F'lhaminn's wounds are indeed grievous. Seek out her sickroom and visit her.


You find Niellefresne and his companions gathered in a sickroom, attempting to make sense of what they have heard and all that has come to pass. Could Corguevais be a Garlean spy? What threat could be greater than that of the Empire? F'lhaminn proposes that they speak to Thancred to learn more, though he too has been exiled from Ul'dah. Where could he be?


You come upon Damielliot, fallen in a corridor. The Phrontistery immediately becomes envoloped in a chaos as all move to help the young alchemist. There is nothing left to be done. Leave the Phrontistery and contact Momodi at the Adventurers' Guild.


As always, Momodi has provided you with valuable information. An exile has recently been sighted in the vicinity of Camp Black Brush, and members of the city guard have been dispatched to deal with the situation. Head for Camp Black Brush with all haste.


Arriving at Camp Black Brush, you meet Qoqoba of the Platinum Mirage. While speaking with her, Greinfarr arrives with the captured Thancred. You learn that Niellefresne has set about investigating the matter of the danger which threatens Ul'dah, and means to make use of the dark arts of the thaumaturges to resurrect Ascilia's dead father and question him-news which greatly distresses Thancred. Follow the three of them back to Ul'dah and visit Arrzaneth Ossuary.


You find Thancred and F'lhaminn at Arrzaneth Ossuary searching for Niellefresne. He is found lying on the cold floor of an underground cemetary, barely breathing, with Ascilia crouched by his side, shaking in terror. When you approach her, the Echo begins to reverberate and suddenly you find yourself alone...


Finding yourself again in the underground cemetary, you come upon Mumuepo and Niellefresne talking. They are discussing the thaumaturgy of resurrecting the dead, but upon opening Warburton's corpse, Niellefresne is stabbed through from behind, murdered in cold blood.You are returned suddenly to the present, Thancred having witnessed the power of the Echo that resides within you. At the same time, as some sort of ill-fated omen, dark storm clouds blacken the sky, and a rain of meteors begins to fall in all directions. Amidst the chaos and terror, Thancred gazes upward, realizing that the danger spoken of by all threatens not only Ul'dah, but all of Eorzea. With the muttering of his words, you suddenly feel light-headed...You are wakened as if from a dream by the calling of your name.


Upon opening your eyes, you find yourself in Hourglass in Ul'dah. Momodi of the Quicksand tells you that you were found unconscious and brought safely to the Adventurers' Guild by a girl by the name of Minfilia. She has asked that you come and see her at the Waking Sands in the Merchants Ward when you are able.
