Greetings, citizens and friends of Gaia.

I have news for you all regarding our quest to find and defeat Garland. I also have a request to make.

We have learned that Garland may be found in a place called the Chaos Shrine. But to locate it requires the use of four elemental crystals, which I have now obtained. These crystals must be placed in the elemental shrines: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. However, the shrines are guarded by fearsome monsters.

I wish to put together four teams who will each take a crystal and place them in their respective shrines. All transport will be provided, and my finest Lindblum guards will escort you to the entrance. If you volunteer, bear in mind that you will be facing a tough battle - one that you must win. We can't afford to lose the crystals.

These teams will be sent out a week from now, on 11th June. Send me a message here if you want to go! We need all the help we can get.

But that's not all. After the crystals have been placed, a party must journey to the Ronka Ruins, where I'm told that there is a device which can be activated to show the way to the Chaos Shrine. That is our goal: to find the Chaos Shrine. Again, I must warn you that this will be a dangerous and difficult mission. I want to send out a party as soon as possible after the shrines have been beaten. Tell me if you wish to go!

After that, we'll reconvene and consider how to defeat Garland. I have no doubt: it can be done. To everyone who volunteers and all those who have ever helped to protect Gaia in even the smallest of ways, you have my gratitude. Soon we'll see our hard work rewarded.

- Cid Fabool IX, Regent of Lindblum

I'll go to the Water Shrine. I've been there before, after all.

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Me too!

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

What do you think you're doing? Just who is going to watch your back while you summon.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

You have my thanks once again, Rydia.

[petalwhirlwind.livejournal.com]

I've been to the Ronkan Ruins, so I would be glad to lend what experience I have gained from that situation. It's also my duty to see the Wind Crystal safe, so I'll be journeying to that shrine.

If we're to venture to the same place, there's something I must ask of you.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. Good luck!

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun! I'll accompany the Wind Crystal.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit!

[epopt-trainee.livejournal.com]

It's my duty to protect the Earth Crystal. I'll take it to the shrine.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

I thought you might. Much appreciated.

[sasuneknight.livejournal.com]

I would like to offer my assistance in the journey to the Ronkan Ruins, should my blades be of use.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Of course, of course! Thank you.

[pathtowalk.livejournal.com]

If I can offer assistance to a group heading to a shrine, I would gladly do so.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Any preference regarding a shrine?

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

The Fire Shrine. I've been there before.

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

You aren't planning to take that on by yourself are you?

[theleadingman.livejournal.com]

Would you have me along, Celes?

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Duly noted.

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

The wind is my element, and I've been to that shrine before.

[He hesitates a moment as if about to say more, then decides against it. He'll address his concerns with Ursula directly, since she's the one who it seems will be guarding the Crystal.]

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

The Wind Shrine it is! Thank you.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

You know you have my aid in seeking the Mirage Tower and the Ronkan Ruins, Regent. And when the time comes, in defeating Garland as well.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

I was counting on it.

Approach the shrine with caution. 'Tis said it marks the prison of Jaed the Netherlord.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Eh? Which shrine is that? And who is the Netherlord?

I'll go to the Wind Shrine - the Wind Crystal is the one that chose us, so the least I can do is make sure it's safe.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't have expected any less. Be careful, Refia. You'll need to be tough to get past the strong winds.

[blue-desperado.livejournal.com]

I'd like to go to the Ronkan Ruins. Help out wherever I can.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, Laguna. Good luck!

The water crystal.

My brother and I will accompany it, as is our duty.

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

[Nod.] Certainly.
