A flame which burns unseen remains deadly, poisoning the air with death unseen. Slowly choking out life, a spectral hand. To those who fall victim to such fires, they are no source of light or life, becoming, instead, something wicked...
ACT III: Fanning Sparks
Scene II: This Way Comes
a) Into the Fire (Saturday, February 18th, 2017, 7 pm CST)
A leveplate has been issued, from Camp Drybone. Not long ago, what looked like a small tribe (or a large extended family) of white-haired miqo'te moved into town. Then, just as suddenly, they all left together. Heading east by southeast. The local Flames Captain, spurred by a number of concerned citizens, has requested Adventurers to go look for them.
"Seemed ignorant of the area. Fair bunch of them, and almost nary a weapon to be seen. Pilgrims of some sort, maybe. Azeyma's shrine is down that way, and you know how Seekers of the Sun are about her. Still, that's not the only thing down that way. Myotragus coming into season, and there's always the bloody Amalj'aa..."

What Adventurer doesn't dream of delving deep into mysterious and ancient depths, uncovering buried secrets lost to time? The Catacombs beneath Ul'dah, also known to a scholarly few as the Aqueducts of Sil'dih, have long remained buried... closer to the surface than one might think, it seems, as a tunnel apparently leading into them has been discovered under a warehouse in the bad part of town. The "owner" of the warehouse proposes an expedition. Of sorts.
"Evidence most clear. Everyone takes their pets for walks. Dogs, chocobos, apkallus, er, opo-opos... yarzons... and firedrakes, yes, especially firedrakes. Not good to just keep it inside, the scratching! The digging! Accursed thing, and I do mean that, though subject to definition and interpretation. Not all voidsent are curses, especially not those bound in amulets and then swallowed along with body parts, no, stupid voracious lizard. Go, lackeys, see where she.. he?.. it! Where idiot possessed firedrake Nightsparkle wants to go, deep into the earth. Where doom awaits!"

For moons, since the end of her captivity, Ul'dahn street rat, would-be revolutionary and general troublemaker Moon Keeper Garri has enjoyed tranquil sleep. Now though, fresh dreams trouble her once more. Those who know her know better than to ignore them, even if her dreams lead her to truly dangerous places. Adventurers are called on to escort her on a long trip through the desert.
"Not like before.. not something about to happen.. or is it? I have to go.. again, to the place.. the place I was taken. It's important. She wouldn't show me this otherwise.. right?"

Rumors and Story Aspects
- A new mining expedition has been financed by interested parties, despite previous setbacks, north of the Shroud. Amajina & Sons representatives call it a daring attempt, while speculators name it desperation.
- The privately-funded Brass Blades' Order of the Aster has seen a recruiting surge of late, enjoying popularity due to the quality arms provided by their sponsor.
- Tension is growing in the air in and around Ul'dah, with no clear reason. The aetherially-sensitive find themselves driven at time to bouts of spontaneous rage and violence. Experts claim it is just a temporary imbalance of the ley lines, while conspiracy theorists and doomsayers alike maintain that /Something Wicked/ is at work...
