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

You have my word.

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it, then. Hope you know what you're in for.

I know it will be no walk in the park. I'll come prepared; I only need see a synthesist for ammunition before we depart.

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

Ah that again. Can't say I'm used to having a gunman around. That'll be a welcome change.

We do come in rather handy. I'm also not bad with a dagger, if I happen to run out. I've taken to keeping a set on my person since my arrival here; ammunition is quite expensive and not in great supply. I've also "acquired" a decent amount of curative items over the past several weeks; I imagine we'll be in fair shape.

I'm a Paladin now. Hopefully you won't need those potions. Thank the goddesses I can use healing magic now.

Worst case scenario, we have a backup plan. But I trust you.

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Your general will make this work.

[Damnit, Balthier, stop being so easy to talk to.]

[theleadingman.livejournal.com]

I've no doubt of that.

Let me know when you're ready to leave. I'll be ready.

[Sorry. It's not as though he's doing it on purpose.]

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

I will when we're all ready.

[theleadingman.livejournal.com]

Very well. I'll contact Refia immediately concerning shots.
