  • The time has come for Lord Hien to return to Doma.

Let's go. Everyone is waiting for us back at the House of the Fierce!
Heh heh...I wonder what Yugiri will have to say when we tell her of our adventures?
Right, then. To the House of the Fierce. With me, my friends!
Quest Accepted
Err, remind me─what part of Yanxia is this again?
Ahh...this air that fills my breast, these sounds which resound in my ears. I am home.

I have not used this road before, but... Ah. I recognize this place.


The House of the Fierce should lie somewhere to the south. I will go on ahead and inform the sentries of our master's return.
Huh, I didn't realize there was another entrance.

Here we are! I wonder if they all are gathered inside, waiting...perhaps expecting a speech or some such...


Well! No matter! I shall have to do what I shall have to do!
Player7 Icon.png Voiced cutscene start.
Brothers and sisters, pray forgive me my absence. It has been far too long.
Lord Hien!

Gosetsu told us of your trials and tribulations on the Steppe. Would that I had been present to witness your victory, my lord.


Our victory, Yugiri, owed as much to each of my stalwart comrades as it did to me. Now, rise─I will not suffer this excess of formality any longer.


Alphinaud and Alisaie Leveilleur, I presume? I am told we owe you much. It is a pleasure to meet you both.
The pleasure is ours, Lord Hien. Though we were born and raised a world apart, our values are one and the same: freedom, justice, liberty. Each of which Doma shall soon enjoy once more.
Hopefully. I understand you have brought an army?
Indeed. The Xaela tribes of the Azim Steppe have pledged their military might to the cause.
Good. We, meanwhile, have secured the support of the Confederacy, and a not insignificant number of your countrymen.
The Blue Kojin, too, have expressed a willingness to join the fight─provided you agree to certain trade agreements following the liberation of Doma.
The shinobi will render what aid they can. However, Sui-no-Sato refused to answer our call.
No matter. What forces we have amassed far exceed my original expectations. You have my thanks.
You should know that Zenos departed Doma not long after you left to find Lord Hien. We know not the reason why, but it would seem he was eager to return to Gyr Abania.
What? Have you heard anything from the Resistance? There hasn't been another attack, has there?
Tataru assures me they are quite well. You need not worry. If anything, this turn of events would seem to be to our advantage.
But there the good news ends. Yotsuyu retains her position as acting viceroy, and we have reports that the garrison at Doma Castle is preparing for a massive operation...
We suspect that the Empire's attempt to eliminate you on the Steppe may have been a prelude to a larger effort to purge the remaining pockets of resistance within Doma.
The hour of reckoning is upon us.
What will you say?

1) ...Then victory will soon be ours!
2) ...But are we ready?

Hah hah hah! The khagan has spoken! And I for one am not inclined to argue.

It will not be easy, that much I cannot deny. Had we more time to prepare, mayhap it would be different.
Do not forget, however, that we have been blessed with comrades brave and true, whom the Empire will have no appetite to face. If you doubt me, you need only look in the mirror.

In this place, in this moment, I call upon you all! Twenty-five years of oppression, of tyranny, of shame─it ends with us! We will prevail!
Player7 Icon.png Voiced cutscene end.
Alphinaud has been hard at work devising our strategy to seize Doma Castle. I'm sure he will be happy to share the details with you all shortly.
So...have we got a plan? Tell me someone's got a plan.
Not that I doubted you for a moment, but I am relieved to see him returned.
No time to soak it in. We have work to do.
All is in place. We need but commit to action and see it through to the end.
I knew Lord Hien only by name and reputation until today. There is no denying that he has a presence...
Lord Hien has returned! Lord Hien has returned! And together we will drive the imperials out of Doma once and for all!

Once more, welcome back. It is good to see you again, Forename.


Ah, yes. There is another recent development we neglected to share with you.


Alisaie and I have been hard at work attempting to restore the aetheryte here to its former glory...and I am pleased to inform you that we succeeded!


Suffice it to say, it should prove a boon for travel─well, for those replete with anima like you, at least...
