Greetings, citizens and friends of Gaia.

Good news! We have located the Chaos Shrine, Garland's hiding spot. Turns out that it was hidden right under our noses all along! It's in the middle of the Aerbs Mountains. I've sent airships to scout out the area, but unfortunately the area is so densely forested that it's impossible to land. The Shrine is well-hidden.

But it is accessible. Over the past few months, a few people have spotted Garland riding a flying gold chocobo and now we know why: chocobos are the only means by which the Chaos Shrine can be accessed. So we can't exactly send in an army... Gold chocobos are rare. But we can send a small group of the very best warriors, and that's exactly what I intend to do.

If you can ride a flying chocobo and wield a weapon strong enough to defeat Garland, I want to hear from you! I want a party assembled and ready by the 25th of this month. Chocobo training can be provided. Let's give it our very best shot.

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.

[The feed starts with Regent Cid standing on the deck of the Invincible. Those who are currently on the Mist Continent may have seen this magnificent airship in the sky, as Regent Cid has been busy flying around Lindblum and neighbouring territories in response to the Lunar Cry.

He looks more serious than he has done in some time.]

Greetings, citizens and friends of Gaia.

Over the past few days, I've watched many of you come to Lindblum's aid, and Burmecia's aid, and across the Mist Continent and beyond. We've seen catastrophe on a grand scale here, especially in Burmecia. I'm told the king did not survive... My condolences to his people, and to everyone who has lost a loved one.

But we have to act if that loss of life is not to be in vain.

Which is why I have a proposal to make. Two, actually! The first is a request. There's a wise old woman by the name of Matoya, who lives in a cave on the Forgotten Continent. She's given us useful information before, and my sources tell me she has more to say. I want to know what she isn't telling us. So I'm sending a small party to visit her as soon as possible. If you want to be part of this group, let me know!

Once we have that information, we'll need to figure out what to do with it. That's why I want to invite all heads of state to a meeting on the 21st May. If you have information on Garland, Lufene, or anything that might help, I want you there! Let's put our heads together and solve this problem once and for all. The meeting will take place here on the Invincible, so we can pick you up wherever you are.

Ahem... In the meantime, I would like to assure everyone that we in Lindblum are doing our best to recover and rebuild after the Lunar Cry.

Thank you, and good luck.

[He bows, and the feed ends.]

Greetings, citizens and friends of Gaia!

That was quite the experience, wasn't it? Garland's work again, I'm sure, but I have my best researchers on the job. My good friend Doctor Tot is certain that memory may be key to both the doing and undoing of the spell that has caused our worlds to collide. If you saw your loved ones, hold on to that thought. It means that they can indeed be reached.

In the meantime we must prepare for the inevitable battle. To that end, I have secured a cache of new aircraft from the ruins of Midgar, which my engineers are working on restoring. As always, capable engineers, craftsmen and pilots are most welcome in Lindblum. These are the skills that will take us into the next age.

We in Lindblum have long been masters of the air, but now I am proud to proclaim that we are set to explore the oceans too! Are there any in Gaia who have ever operated a submarine? I have a vessel in full working condition, only waiting to be launched. We will make history as pioneers of the sea! Let me know if you are interested in such a project.
