The Rising Stones... What a peculiar name for a sanctuary...

This land seems peaceful; its inhabitants kind. Mayhap they will accept us once we prove ourselves capable.

But how long will it take for our weakest to regain the strength to stand, much less to till the soil?

Many of my countrymen have found work as frontier hands, helping to transport supplies and continue the expansion of Revenant's Toll.

I have been tasked with keeping the equipment here in good repair. It is not particularly glamorous work, but I would help in whatever way I can.

Where did everyone run off to all of a sudden? It is not that I mind so much─the quiet is most conducive to focusing on my tasks.

Some might think the life of an adventurer a carefree one, but you and I know that this is far from the truth. While you may not be beholden to a single lord, you bear the weight of an entire realm's expectations on your shoulders.

My people's spirits were thoroughly crushed by the loss of our homeland, but thanks to your courage and generosity I see their inner flames once more flicker back to life. I, too, have felt my strength of will make a gradual return.

The children are quick to take to Eorzean ways, but I cannot claim the same...flexibility.

I hear a new company has been formed. I would be of service in whatever humble way I can.

Where have those younglings disappeared to? Making the most of their newfound freedom, no doubt.

Domans fighting alongside the Crystal Braves? I wager there will be no shortage of volunteers eager to exact vengeance on our common foe.

Did you hear the news? It seems that more of our people have managed to escape Doma by ship. We can only pray for their safety...

It has been many moons since last I trained with live steel, but it is only with true risk that one gains true reward.

I must admit, this exercise of yours never fails to amuse me. While its movements appear comical, it does seem to be having the desired effect.

My father has agreed to take care of Yozan for me. The children need role models, and we must do whatever is in our power to provide them.

I sent shinobi to spy upon the Brass Blades, and it would seem that Yda and Papalymo's resistance accounted for a sizable number of the company's soldiers. All we know for certain, however, is that our friends' corpses were not found amongst the bodies they left behind.

To know that the fires of war may spread across my homeland once more... Even if freedom is the end result, my heart is...clouded.

After so much death and destruction, the world is turned upside down. My people are free. The feeling is...beyond words.

It seems an age now since we first imposed upon your kindness. We have strived to make ourselves useful here whilst our homeland lay in turmoil, but the time has come where we must choose our path forward...

Every time word reaches us of developments in Doma, we are stirred to greater effort. Our countrymen work tirelessly to rebuild our homeland, and in applying ourselves here, we join them in spirit.

'Tis still somewhat strange to speak with you here, in a place I once thought neither of us would find ourselves. Not that your presence is unwelcome, of course!

By the way─I told the children that you sometimes visit the enclave, and that they should pay their respects, but they seem to be very busy with their guild. I expect they will seek you out in due time...which is to say, when they want to involve you in one of their adventures.

I cannot describe how much it means for us to return to our homeland and lead meaningful lives. The people of Mor Dhona showed us incredible kindness but I could not escape the feeling that we were a burden to them.

Those children certainly keep me on my toes! Not that they mean to cause mischief, but they are so adventurous that I cannot help but worry.
