The member nations of the Eorzean Alliance do not see eye to eye in all matters. Nevertheless, their disagreements have not been irreconcilable─until now. Control of the Carteneau Flats is to be decided on the field of battle, and Lieutenant Trachraet would have you fight for the Maelstrom. Speak with the Foreign Levy flyer to learn more of this new conflict, and to decide if you wish to become involved.
Civilized violence. Civilized war. The concept seems contradictory, if not ludicrous, yet your fellow soldiers take no issue with this proposed resolution. It is clear now that the Maelstrom will not be swayed from its course. You, however, are yet free to decide. To embrace this cause, or to renounce it─it is your choice.

Objectives[]

Speak with the Foreign Levy flyer at the airship landing.

Like Civilized Men and Women (Maelstrom) script

Trachraet	Yer familiar with what transpired at Carteneau five years ago, ain't ye, [Player Name]?
Trachraet	I don't mean the godsdamned moon crackin' open an' that thrice-damned primal rainin' 'ellfire upon us all. Even folk in the Far East 'eard that tale, I reckon.
Trachraet	What I'm wonderin' is 'ow knowledgeable ye are with regards to the aftermath, when the Eorzean Alliance saw fit to settle in an' jointly administer the region for the foreseeable future.
Trachraet	Waste o' time, money, an' men, most say, what with nothin' o' value in the Carteneau Flats, eh? That's the story to which most folk've been privy─the truth, o' course, bein' a fair bit different.
Trachraet	In case ye ain't yet in the know, the primal's rampage laid bare these Allagan ruins, which no one 'ad even the slightest inklin' existed prior to the Calamity. It didn't take a bleedin' genius to recognize that we'd found somethin' important, an' that we'd be fools to let it fall into the wrong 'ands.
Trachraet	The powers that be declared that we'd protect an' study the ruins together, an' so we did─until now. Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, an' Gridania 'ave all formally asserted a claim to the territory. The time for talk 'as passed; the time for action 'as come.
Trachraet	That bein' said, we'd be a sorry excuse for an alliance if we let this one issue divide us. So while there'll be fightin', it'll be in accordance with the rules. All 'ostilities shall be confined to the disputed territories, an' engagements shall be fought to submission, not death.
Trachraet	Remember that when yer on the front line, ─beat a man within an ilm of 'is life if ye must, but see that it goes no further.
Trachraet	Ye'll be joinin' the fight, won't ye? A soldier with your talents would make a tremendous difference! What's more, ye'd be doin' the nation a great service.
Trachraet	At least speak with our man at the airship landin' before ye decide one way or the other. Think on it, . That's all I ask.

Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	[Player Name]! Come to join the fight, have we? Very good, very good indeed!
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	Now before we proceed, I must warn you: this isn't going to be like some jaunt in the Wolves' Den.
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	You'll be pitted against wave after wave of fellow Alliance members in battle, and they won't care one whit that you're the Warrior of Light.
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	This campaign will be long and brutal, and victories won today may be undone tomorrow. Consider the borderland ruins. We need only seize control of each ruin in the region, right? Wrong. Defense is paramount as well, for our rivals will muster forces to challenge our claims.
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	It is for that reason we have established an airship route direct to the front line. Those who are ready and willing to fight will never want for transportation!
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	Ah, but that look on your face bespeaks confusion. “Are we at war or not? What is this bollocks about no killing? What in the seven hells is going on!?” That's what you're thinking, yes?
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	It's less “war” and more “organized violence to resolve a territorial dispute.” And yes, it is to be civilized violence. Killing Alliance members is strictly prohibited─though accidents have been known to happen, mind you.
Tokushurikusenntaihikuuhei	But you of all people have nothing to fear! You've escaped certain death more times than I can count; what are the odds you'll fail to do so this time, eh?
