You have found the famous Quicksand, the Ul'dahn branch of the Adventurers' Guild, and had the pleasure of meeting its proprietor, Momodi, who caters to the whims of the region's adventurers with the tough love of a mother. Speak to Momodi again to learn even more of the your bretheren and their exploits in the south.


Momodi of the Quicksand has urged you to venture forth to Camp Black Brush and attune yourself with the aetheryte located there. Camp Black Brush is closest of Thanalan's camps to the city. Any fledging adventurer equipped with an adequate map should have minimal trouble finding it.


Upon attuning to the aetherye (sic) found at Camp Black Brush, Momodi of the Quicksand promptly contacted you via the linkpearl she fashioned you with earlier. She confessed to unabashedly smuggling a guildleve amongst your belongings, leaving the decision to undertake or not completely up to you. Whatever you choose to do, return to the Quicksand once you have adventured to your heart's content.


Speak again to Momodi, proud proprietor of the Quicksand.


Momodi of the Adventurers' Guild has told you of some of the other guilds to which Ul'dah is home. She has also suggested that the Velodyna Cosmos you obtained at the parade may well fetch a hefty sum from the goldsmiths of Eshtaime's Lapidaries. In addition, you have learned that the fighting at the Coliseum, home of the sword-wielding gladiators, is another means of earning potentially enormous sums of gil - should you be victorious. Visit these guilds and see what Ul'dah has to offer, using your map should you have need of it.


Visiting the Coliseum and Eshtaime's Lapidaries yielded a wealth of new information. Use your linkpearl to contact Momodo and speak to her of what you have learned.


Momodi has taught you of the Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern in Ul'dah, home to the Miner's Guild. Visit the Concern to continue in your efforts to learn all there is to know of this majestic city.


You witnessed an altercation of sorts break own at Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern. It seems the thaumatiurge Corguevais has stolen away into the shafts illegally with the intention of mining up whatever valuable ores and gems he could. Speak to the Songstress of Ul'dah, F'lhaminn, to discovery some method of quelling the donnybrook.


F'lhaminn was kind enough to teach you the expressive motions "furious," "beckon," "laugh," "deny," "upset," and "soothe." Use them wisely, and put and (sic) end to Corguevais's persection at the hands of the enraged miners.


Your timely expressions spared Corguevais a horrible fate at the hands of the miners. Immediately afterwards, the Lalafell twin brothers Popokkuli and Seserukka appeared and chased off those causing the trouble. Speak to F'lhaminn to make learn what you might of events at the Miners; Guild.


The miners will not tolerate illegal mining within the shafts. You have been charged to take word of stricter punishments being levied against perpetrators to the poor living beyond the city. F'lhaminn has offered to go along with you. Prepare for the journey and meet her at the Gate of Nald in the north of the city.


You arrived safely at Camp Black Brush together with F'lhaminn to find people there in an agitated state. The camp had just come under attack from a beast of some sort, and a small girl names Ascilia was narrowly rescued from its clutches. When the thaumaturge Corguevais attempted to tend to her, she shied away from him and broke into a fit of crying. Try to talk to Ascilia and find out the cause of her tears.


Your conversation with the camp leader revealed that a great disaster once occurred in Ul'dah's mines under the operation of Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern. The Concern taking whatever measures it must to prevent another such tragedy from happening. Your task complete, return to the Miners' Guild with F'lhaminn.


F'lhaminn paid you her thanks for traveling to the camp with her. Contact Momodi of the Adventurers' Guild and tell her your tale.


Disaster has struck in the mines, and the dead and injured are vast. Go to Frondale's Phrontistery, using your map if need be, and see if there is any work to be had.


Within Frondale's Phrontistery, you find Master Faustigeant and Checheroya speaking about the accident in the mines. Upon learning that you have come to help, Master Faustigeant has ordered you to make the rounds of the sickrooms.


In one of the Phrontistery's sickrooms, you fin young Ascilia, mourning the death of her father, Warburton. As Corguevais attempts to comfort her, she reveals that her father had said Ul'dah was in great danger, but she knows no further details. She has no family left to her, and no coin to pay for a proper funeral for her father. Contact Momodi of the Adventurers' Guild and tell her of this latest development.


Momodi has asked that you come and see her. Return to the Quicksand with all haste.
