Zone: Central Thanalan - Black Brush  (23-20) Starting NPC: Crestfallen Merchant The summer home of Eolande Quiveron─former Syndicate member, before tragically losing her life in the Calamity─has been occupied by thieving bandits, one even claiming, in fact, to be the noble lady's heir. Rumor has it the bandits use the run-down manor to hide their booty, and a merchant is seeking aid in recovering his stolen goods.

Did the Consortium send you? No? Well, that is of no matter. You are here now, and now you shall help me. Agreed? The lawless thugs who squat there in that ramshackle manse have stolen my precious cargo and I require you to retrieve it. Not too daunting a task for someone of your obvious talents, I presume? Aid the merchant? ※The recommended level for this FATE is 11. Yes No Crestfallen Merchant Very good, very good. Now make haste. I have tea planned with a noble lady not long from now and it would not do well if I were late. Crestfallen Merchant Perhaps you mistook my order for a choice? Crestfallen Merchant I do not have the time for this. Tea and noble ladies await! Didn't I mention this? Crestfallen Merchant Have you retrieved my crates yet? I have an appointment, you know. One with a noble lady. There will be tea. Deliver Cancel Crestfallen Merchant Is this all? I could have sworn there were more. Countless more. Yes. Now back into the breach, my good fellow. Crestfallen Merchant What are you waiting for!? The tea! It grows ever colder! If FATE reaches completion System Objective accomplished. If applicable, please make sure to submit items within the time limit. Crestfallen Merchant Yes, I believe everything is in order. It seems I will be having tea after all! Oh, what a glorious day! Crestfallen Merchant You mean to tell me, there were still crates in the manse? Deliver Cancel Crestfallen Merchant By golly, you were right! My mind must have been somewhere else. In Ul'dah. Sipping on tea, I suppose. Crestfallen Merchant Of course not! I have all my crates right here! Silly adventurer. FATE Won FATE Lost (- Crestfallen Merchant -) I really should be off. I mustn't keep the noble ladies waiting!		World: Hydaelyn Landmass: Aldenard Region: Thanalan Zone: Central Thanalan Area: Black Brush Coordinates: 23-20 Level: 11 Type: Gather Items
