Miners’ End

Bhujerban Sainikah: The Lhusu Mines? Closed, as always, bhadra. The Marquis has fallen ill and left Bhujerba, and without his government, we sit idle.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink leaning against arch by Bashketi’s): I keep track of the magicite trade, you see. My sources, they tell me the Empire has turned to the Henne mines, now that Lhusu has run dry.

Miners’ Ender (moogle in gold with orange pom-pom): T-too many hills, kupo! I once thought of moving to Archades, but there they have Judges! Wait… I’ve seen Judges here, too. And hills!

Lhusu Parivir: Mmmrrgh? Ehh, the Lhusu Mines are sep’rated into sites… Nah, you need keys to get into each. They keep ‘em all at the Staras residence, see. The master there’s the Lady Niray. Eh? Aye, she has a husband… eh, I’ll explain later. The Staras residence’s at the south end of Cloudborne Row.

Lhusu Miner (black bangaa yelling at moogle): My patience is spent, Moogle! Down! Adhuna! You are coming – “Kupo”!? I’ll give you kupo!

City Parijanah: I hear word of a great Rozarrian fleet gathering, bhadra. Please, you should speak of this to no one. I am not even sure why I have told you.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink, blue and green walking around): Have you heard, bhadra? The Marquis has fallen ill! I do not know which pundit will take his place. I hope he is firm with the Empire.

Miners’ Ender (guy sitting on ledge next to his girlfriend): Have you noticed less parijanah guides upon the streets? No? Perhaps it is just me.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink, blue and yellow speaking with group): Bhujerba remains independent only because its neutrality affords the Empire certain… conveniences, yes? Should it become less convenient… Kastam…

Bhujerban Sainikah: The Lhusu Mines are closed on account of raksas, er, creatures. It is at times like these when I am glad to let the clans help.

Lhusu Square

Lhusu Parivir: The paling erected within the mines to keep raksas at bay has fallen, and so mining has stopped. Why do they not fix it, I wonder? Haa…

Street Vendor: Raksas are running wild in the mines, and all work has come to a stop. How am I to sell without any customers? Ah, are you looking for something? [shop menu]

Bashketi’s Gambits

City Parijanah: Yes, traveler, this is Bashketi’s Gambits. Our organization, too, uses gambits. We must fight as one if we are to defeat the mighty Empire!

Shop Clerk (seeq on upper level): This young lady’s being followed by a most persistent man, she tells me. (snort) Were she to use a gambit, she’d be rid of him in no time!

Bhujerban Sainikah: The flow of magicite to the Empire has dropped, on account of raksas in the mines, they say. But I suspect there is more to it…. No, bhadra, on second thought, there is nothing.

Kaff Terrace

Bhujerban (man in green and brown pacing center area): My love, she comes by airship, yet no word of her arrival has reached me… Hanta… What could be the matter?

Bhujerban (moogle with green pom-pom walking around): Wait, wait, wait, the Lhusu Mines aren’t closed because they ran out of magicite, are they, kupo? We’ll fall out of the sky!

Bhujerban (moogle with yellow pom-pom sitting on wall): Have you any worries, kupo? Then, join me! Gaze out at the sky, kupo! Take a deep breath, that’s right… see? No more worries! 

Bhujerban (woman in pink, red, and blue): I have dropped a ring near to here, you see. Haa… By now, it is surely washing up on the Phon Coast… Kah? Did you not know? It is said that objects dropped from Bhujerba are carried by the currents to wash up on the shores of Phon!

Bhujerban Sainikah: Every once in a while, people do fall from here… usually travelers, spreading their wings, causing a disturbance. Bhujerbans know better.

Bhujerban (woman in pink, green, and tan at edge): Perhaps you have heard that most of Bhujerba’s food comes from other lands. If relations with the outside were to sour, we would all starve.

Bhujerban (light blue seeq): Ye’ve heard the rumor that one o’ them Imperial ships went down in the Jagd Yensa? Bah! Skyswill! It couldn’t fly there in the first place!

Bhujerban (man in turban and green and brown shorts): The great edifice you see ahead is the residence of his Excellency the Marquis… whom I have not seen lately. He is a busy man, yes.

Clio’s Technicks

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. Lucky for you, the organization deemed you useful. After you spread that rumor… things could have gotten ugly.

Bhujerban Sainikah: Svagatam, traveler. I have seen many airships from many lands in my day, but none compare to ours. It’s the moogles’ skill with machines, you see.

Archadian Wayfarer: My brother works in a laboratory in Archades. He was with the 8th Fleet, but we’ve lost contact. I hope nothing untoward has befallen him!

Shop Clerk (moogle with green pom-pom pacing in front of counter): Oh, if there’s anything you need, anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask, kupo! Having a pleasant trip? We’ll help you make it pleasanter!

Miners' End

Bhujerban Sainikah: There is no anti-Imperial “Resistance” in Bhujerba, bhadra. Not only we guards, but the parijanah guides, too, watch for such activities.

Miners’ Ender (man in green and brown shorts leaning against arch, talking to woman): Have you heard? The mines are closed. They say that raksas run wild within! Strange, since there have always been raksas in the mines… They have never seen cause to close the mines before. Perhaps a creature most foul has come?

City Parijanah: Greetings, I am a parijanah… I am new to this posting, and I have heard a most curious rumor. They say the Dalmascan captain who died has come back to us, and now he runs through the streets of Bhujerba! Murkha! I believe it not.

Bhujerban Guru: Now I hear that those ill-favored bangaa were the headhunter Ba’Gamnan and his crew… Who were they after, I wonder?

Miners’ Ender (moogle with orange pom-pom sitting on ledge below Clio’s): The creatures in the mines, they came through when the mine’s paling fell, kupo! We built that paling… it was strong. Very strong! (gulp)

Miners’ Ender (man in white turban and dark shorts traversing the slope): The Marquis, he trades the best Stones to the Empire, and so avoids their wrath… Without magicite, Bhujerba would be lost.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink and tan sitting on ledge at bottom of slope): I have received a letter from my friend in Rabanastre. She tells of the new consul. He sounds quite the gentleman!

Miners’ Ender (man sitting on ledge talking to his girlfriend beneath balcony): An intruder in Marquis Ondore’s estate? Haa…. Surely one of the Resistance seeks to kill the Marquis. Too friendly he is with the Empire.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink, blue, and green, walking around to various people): I have heard that the Judge who came to our mines was no mere Judge, but a high Judge Magister! Why, there are only a dozen or so of these.

Lhusu Miner (tan seeq; Bhorta): Bhadra, have you heard that this Ronsen-boobi, this captain, lives? He is the one who killed the Dalmascan king for bowing to the Empire, no? Now, here is a man with backbone! Bhorta likes!

Miners’ Ender (moogle with green pom-pom sitting on crate): When I think of Bhujerba, I think of sloping roads and high, high walls. The walls protect the buildings from the winds, kupo! We would not enjoy the Khus Skygrounds or the Kaff Terrace so much but for the opportunity they afford us to escape the city walls, kupo.

City Parijanah: I have heard that the 8th Fleet of Archadia goes now to Dalmasca! Perhaps they think to show their Leviathan off to the Rozarrians, haa?

Lhusu Miner (black bangaa yelling at moogle on ledge): Moogle! You are coming down at once! Yes, you will pay for what you have taken! Moooooogle!!!

Miners’ Ender (woman in white, yellow, and blue talking to group): Even those who dislike the Empire keep their thoughts to themselves after seeing the great Leviathan. It is like an awakening to reality.

Lhusu Parivir: Mine’s closed, and won’t be opening anytime soon. Best return my Site 3 key to the Staras residence ‘fore I forget. Mmmmnnrgh.

Miners’ Ender (moogle in gold with orange pom-pom walking in front of Bashketi’s): So, so many hills in this town, don’t you think, kupo? But, ‘tis worth it for our freedom! Maybe. Do, do they have hills in Rabanastre? (pant)

Lhusu Miner (man in dark pants sitting on rail outside Bashketi’s): I do hope the mines will open again soon. I am a miner, you see. We who dig the Stones must be ready for raksas attacks, to fight them as one. That is why we frequent Bashketi’s Gambits!

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink headscarf leaning against arch, outside Bashketi’s): The Stones in the market of late are of quite low quality. The best magicite is being bought up before it can reach most buyers, I know it! Hanta… I do hope this does not tarnish our Lhusu mine’s reputation.

City Parijanah: Haa, the false captain. If you are to imitate another in the future, I would hope you try a little harder in your imitation.

Bhujerban Sainikah: Haa? The Lhusu Mines? They are closed, bhadra. It was the paling within the mines that fell, I hear. It is too dangerous for entry now.

Lhusu Miner (man in green and brown shorts sitting on ledge): There are those who would tell you that the small amount of Stone taken from the Lhusu Mines is on account of our laziness, but this is a lie, bhadra! The Marquis, he will not permit us to mine, with Imperial inspections, and raksas running wild, you see? That is all.

Miners' End

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. How may I assist you? Ah, yes, the great edifice of our city, visible from all wards and piers. Marquis Ondore’s estate! To go to the estate, go to the west from here to Cloudborne Row, and north from there.

Bhujerban Sainikah: Haa? The mines? They are closed, bhadra. They will resume mining tomorrow, however. Not that mining is very enjoyable to view.

Lhusu Miner (man in green shorts sitting on ledge near parijanah): The Imperials are gone, yes? And so, with thirst in my throat, I go to the Cloudborne, only to find my purse is quite empty! Kastam…

Miners’ Ender (moogle in gold with orange pom-pom walking around): So, so many hills in this town of ours! (pant) I must keep healthy, kupo, or I can’t get about. What to do when I am an old moogle?

Lhusu Miner (black bangaa yelling at moogle on ledge): Moogle! You think you are so clever! You think you are so innocent with your… your pom-pom! I know the truth! I know what you have done!

Miners’ Ender Kid: Kah? Oh, ahead is Kaff Terrace, yes. You are not from Bhujerba, are you? Then be prepared! It is quite thrilling there, you see.

City Parijanah: Lost your way? Allow a parijanah to assist you! Kah? You go to the estate of his Excellency the Marquis? Then first, go to Cloudborne Row. Walk up this slop to the junction at top. There, go east and you will reach the Row. From there, go north, bhadra. When you see the shining wings dancing into blue sky, you will know the way you must go.

Miners’ Ender (moogle with green pom-pom sitting on crate): Do you know why there are so many hills in Bhujerba? Because the purvama it was built upon, Dorstonis, is hilly! Kupo!

Lhusu Miner: I have seen the Marquis running along like a dog to these Judges. Bhorta cares for this not. How can we leave Bhujerba in the hands of such a man?

Miners’ Ender (woman in blue, pink, and green): Hanta! Never before have the Imperials had the temerity to blockade our roads! The Marquis falters, I fear. This is a shame on us!

Miners’ Ender (man sitting talking to his girlfriend beneath balcony): I heard a soldier, an Imperial, above us. He said that the great fleet of the Empire approaches Bhujerba! Can this be true?

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink top and headscarf sitting on ledge): You are from Rabanastre? I have heard from a friend there. “We lost all,” she said, “because Captain Ronsenburg took away our king.”

Miners’ Ender (woman in yellow, blue, and white talking to group): Who knows what the Marquis thinks? He was close to the royal family of Dalmasca, yet in the war two years past, he aided Archades! Curious…

Lhusu Parivir: Aye, magicite mining’s starting up again on the morrow, down at Site 3… Got to go down to the Staras place ‘n’ get my key… Mmmmrph.

Miners’ Ender (moogle with orange pom-pom sitting on ledge): Me? Normally, I am working in the mines, fixing the machines. Today, I rest, kupo, but tomorrow, tomorrow work begins again!

Bhujerban Guru: Ah… I seen some sour-lookin’ bangaa about. Wastrels like them shouldn’t be let to roam the streets. ‘Tis bad for our image, eh?

Miners’ Ender (man in green shorts with back to wall and arms crossed): Here in Miners’ End is where the workers of our city live. It is an odd name, I agree. Today the Mines are closed, and so the streets are busy.

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler! Welcome to Bhujerba. I am a parijanah, a guide to our fair city. You would go to the Marquis’s estate? Very well. Go up this slope to Travica Way, and from there, go north until you reach it, bhadra.

Bhujerban Sainikah: Kah? A Resistance against the Empire? Cloudspit! Bhujerba’s relations with Archades are nothing if not cordial. No Resistance exists. It cannot.

Miners' End Shops

Clio’s Technicks

Shop Clerk (moogle in blue with yellow pom-pom): Ours is a moogle-run shop, but we serve everyone! Buy, and know happiness, kupo!

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. Welcome to Clio’s Technicks. This shop is run by the Bhujerban Alliance of Moogles, B.A.M.! Quality is guaranteed!

Shop Clerk (moogle with yellow pom-pom at top of steps): Very sorry, kupo! Staff only beyond here…

Bhujerban Sainikah: A most industrious race, moogles. Bhujerba owes much to their mooglecraft. Cute, too, do you not think?

Archadian Wayfarer: My brother works in a laboratory in Archades. He says he will come soon to Bhujerba on military duty, and, if time allows, learn mooglecraft.

Shop Clerk (moogle in red with green pom-pom at top of far steps): Staff only, up here, kupo! …Where is that Pilika!? She was supposed to be here hours ago, and today is my holiday, kupo!

Shop Clerk (moogle in red with green pom-pom near counter): Oh, if there’s anything you need, anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask, kupo! There’s no need to be shy! We’re all born ignorant, as they say, kupo!

Clio: Clio’s Technicks… How may I help you, kupo? [shop menu]

Bashketi’s Gambits

City Parijanah: Svagatam! Welcome to Bashketi’s Gambits. I hardly need remind you of gambits’ usefulness. The key to life, bhadra, is teamwork!

Shop Clerk (light blue seeq): Svagatam! Welcome! Buy our gambits and weather the stormiest journey with ease.

Bhujerban (woman in pink and blue top with headscarf browsing): Haa… There are so many gambits! I wonder if there is one to help me run my household?

Bhujerban (man in turban and green & brown shorts browsing): I have heard there is a resistance in our city, preparing to rise against the Empire… but how can they operate with Imperials on every corner?

Bhujerban (man at counter): There is a limit to gambits’ effectiveness, bhadra. Gambits meant to aid one’s companions will do them no good should they wander too far afield. This is when you should tell them what to do directly, you see. It is vital for you to use both gambits, and old-fashioned orders, well!

Bashketi: Look upon my wares and know perfection, bhadra! Yes, it is I, Bashketi. And these are my gambits! [shop menu]

Shop Clerk (orange seeq on upper level): Questions about gambits? (snort) Ask away! There’s much I’d like to ask of you, too! (snort)

Bhujerban Sainikah: Did you know the miners in Lhusu use gambits? There are many raksas in the mines, you see. The miners must defend themselves, bhadra!

Miners' End

Bhujerban Sainikah: Kah? The dayworkers? No, today there is no mining in Lhusu. Have you not heard? An inspection party from the Empire has come.

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler! Welcome to Bhujerba. I am a parijanah, a guide to our fair city. If you would go to the Lhusu Mines, head down this slope, and north along Miners’ End. Know the mines are closed now. There is no entry.

Miners’ Ender (man in turban and green & brown shorts leaning against wall): Have I seen you in Miners’ End before? I thought not. Welcome, bhadra. Perhaps you are here to enjoy the flavor of old Bhujerba?

Bhujerban Guru: Ah… I seen some sour-lookin’ bangaa about. Eh? Bangaa… and a hume girl? Sorry, bhadra. Seen nothin’ of the sort.

Shop Clerk: Welcome to Clio’s Technicks, kupo! Open for business, and ready to serve!

Clio’s Technicks (sign): His Excellency having deemed Technicks nonessential to Mining Operations, we operate without Charter. Rest assured that all Technicks bear our personal guarantee!

Miners’ Ender (moogle with orange pom-pom sitting on ledge below technickery entrance): Oh, on a typical day, I find myself down in the mines, fixing the carts, the tracks, the diggers… But today is a holiday, kupo!

Miners’ Ender (man with white turban and dark pants): Have you wondered at the lack of fallows and fields in Bhujerba, bhadra? Yes, we have little space for such things. That is why we must sell our Stones and import what foodstuffs we need.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink and tan sitting on ledge at bottom of hill): I’ve just finished work in Rabanastre… What a terrible place it is. The Empire is everywhere. I felt quite suffocated, yes.

Miner’s Ender (man sitting on ledge speaking to woman): The soldiers, it seems they are looking for someone. I hope they find whoever it is, and leave us soon. Can they not see we are in love?

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink, blue, and green walking and talking to various people): You may see many Imperials about, bhadra, but it is not always so. Bhujerbans are a proud, independent people. Not cows like the Dalmascans.

Lhusu Miner (orange seeq sitting against wall): Hanta! One of the Imperials, in his haste he has stepped upon my foot! Ayi… Next I see him, he shall pay. Bhorta swears it!

Miners’ Ender (moogle with green pom-pom sitting on crate): The Imperials seem quite agitated today, kupo! How am I to take my nap with all this toing and froing?

Miners’ Ender Kid: How I wanted to play on the Kaff Terrace, but the Imperials, they block our way! It is not fair! Back to Archades with you, murkha Imperials!

City Parijanah: Lost your way? Allow a parijanah to assist you! Ah, you go to the Lhusu Mines, perhaps? This road, it leads to Kaff Terrace. If you go straight up this slope, you will reach a junction. There, go to the east and you will find the road to the mines.

[If you try to go the way of the blockade...]

Imperial: Sorry, sir, but this way is temporarily closed. Go back the way you came. That’s right.

Lhusu Miner (black bangaa looking up at moogle on ledge): Moogle! Your days are numbered, do you hear me!? Come down here at once! Adhuna! Now!

Miners’ Ender (woman in blue, yellow, and pink speaking with group): No, of course I do not like the Imperials on our streets, but it is better than resisting them and ending up like Dalmasca, no? Independence is not won for free, you see.

Lhusu Parivir: Nnh? This here’s Miners’ End, bhadra. Lhusu, that’s north… But it’s closed, say the criers. How’s a seeq to earn an honest day’s wage?

Miners’ Ender (moogle in yellow with orange pom-pom): Oh, so many hills in this town, kupo! I suppose that’s what the travelers come here to see. But me, I cannot see for the sweat in my eyes, kupo!

Lhusu Miner (man in dark shorts sitting on rail outside gambit shop): Good day, bhadra. Have you been to the mines? I am a miner, you see. We who dig the Stones must be ready for raksas attacks, to fight them as one. That is why we frequent Bashketi’s Gambits!

Bashketi’s Gambits (sign): Gambits having been deemed nonessential to Mining Operations, we operate without Charter, though we believe Efficiency is quintessential!

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink and tan with headscarf, leaning against archway): Ah, you seem new to this place, yes? You do know where you are? We are on Dorstonis, one of the purvama, the floating lands. Many are the visitors from all parts of Ivalice who come to see the wonder that is Bhujerba. That is why the city employs guides, the parijanah.

Bhujerban Sainikah: Haa? The Lhusu Mines? They are closed, bhadra. You are a traveler, yes? I do not think they will let you in, with the Imperial inspections.

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. How may I assist you? Should you go east from this junction, you will reach the mines. West, Cloudborne Row.

Lhusu Miner (man in green & brown shorts sitting on ledge, left side of junction): Today the mines are closed and so I think to go to the Cloudborne for a drink, yes? What is the harm in a drink?
