Eastgate & Southgate

Eastgate

Hapless Merchant: Have you been to the village in the Estersand? It’s on the banks of the River Nebra, should you fancy a visit.

Rabanastran (woman by chocobo pen): On the far side of the Estersand you’ll find Nalbina Fortress. That’s where His Majesty was assassinated… Sometimes I wonder what things would be like now, if only he were still alive.

Rabanastran (woman in white talking to two kids): Before the war, this place bustled with travelers and merchants going about their business. But look at it now…

Southgate

Rabanastran (tan blindfolded bangaa): The continent of Kerwon lies to the south of Giza, much of it covered in wilderness, and even jagd. It’s not as though it’s never been explored, but who can say what strange things you might find there?

Adventurer: Just takes one look at the sky to tell if it’s the Rains or the Dry down in Giza. Never hurts to take a look afore settin’ out. The lay of the land, even the very beasts change from the Rains to the Dry, y’know.

Imperial (standing a short distance away from his partner with the chocobo): The Rains came sooner than expected. Trudging sodden through empty villages and bogs… a glorious posting this has turned out to be.

Imperial (standing beside chocobo): I’ve naught to say to you, churl. It’s bad enough that I’m soaked to the skin… No one bothered telling us it’d be the Rains, and don’t get me started about that village! This is why I hate these bloody provinces…

Rabanastran (man speaking to woman and seeq): Why do you suppose they raise cockatrices down in Giza? Can’t ride ‘em like a chocbo… Hmm, they’re plump, round… you don’t suppose…
