The Peaks

I remember the peaks of Gyr Abania. Silent watchmen that would stand long after we were gone. We came seeking allies to join us in the fight against the Empire. People who had had enough. People who had suffered every possible indignity. Who had been treated like animals, day after day after day...

Castrum Abania
Dungeon
Level 69
Item level 260
Castrum Abania (x30 y31)

The Alliance and the Resistance cannot suffer a repeat of the slaughter at Specula Imperatoris. As such, they will not march upon Castrum Abania until they can be certain the fortress's main cannon will not be brought to bear against them. With the aid of an Alliance contact in Radiata, you and your comrades have devised a plan to infiltrate the castrum and seize control of the cannon. Several parties, including yours, will attempt to create a diversion inside the castrum, thereby allowing Lyse and her unit of Resistance fighters to proceed relatively unhindered to the fire control center. Weapons research is to be your destination, and one can only imagine what manner of foes await you there...

FATEs[]

Name	Level	Location	Time limit	Objective
Name	Description Spawn conditions (if any)
A New Leaf	60-64	The Last Forest (x11 y11)	15 minutes	Escort Mimiroon Leafgrinder to the Ziggurat.
A New Leaf	Mimiroon Leafgrinder's companions have been ratnapped, and the kindly Qiqirn finds himself unable to free them on his own. Mimiroon seeks an equally kind adventurer to serve as his sword while he uses his sensitive snout to suss out the location of his soul-shrews.
Salad Days	60-64	The Last Forest (x13 y15)	15 minutes	Defeat the Qiqirn meatseekers.
Salad Days	It appears Mimiroon Leafgrinder and his herbivorous helpers are not as opposed to consuming meat as his own name would suggest...and it appears you are on the menu. Spawn conditions: Complete A New Leaf.
A Bone to Pick	60-64	The Last Forest (x13 y15)	15 minutes	Defeat Mimiroon Bonecruncher.
A Bone to Pick	The Bonecruncher formerly known as Leafgrinder has proven himself a right scoundrel, and this affront cannot well be forgiven lest he endeavor to repeat the ruse on another unsuspecting rube. Spawn conditions: Complete Salad Days.
And the Bandits Played On	60-64	The Last Forest (x15 y7)	15 minutes	Protect the frightened villager from the Qiqirn meateaters.
And the Bandits Played On	Residents of Ala Gannha tend not to stray too far from the protective walls of their humble hamlet, for when they do, a Qiqirn bandit is usually there waiting to steal their clothes, their coin, or worse...their lives. Escorts are thoroughly appreciated, and handsomely paid.
Of Mice and Men	60-64	The Last Forest (x20 y14)	15 minutes	Defeat the Qiqirn meateaters.
Of Mice and Men	Ever the greedy gluttons, a band of Qiqirn cutthroats have descended the Peaks to raid local farmsteads of their bountiful harvest. The smallfolk cannot defend their land armed with but spades and hoes. An adventurer, however, may have more success.
Churlish Chapuli	60-64	The Last Forest (x7 y14)	15 minutes	Defeat the supernal chapuli.
Churlish Chapuli	Those who have chosen to make their homes on the unforgiving slopes of the Peaks have done well to coax whatever plant they can from the barren soil. Which is why it is all the more disheartening to see those hard-earned crops torn from the fields by gluttonous vilekin─vilekin like the dread chapuli.
Down with the Sickness	60-64	The Last Forest (x20 y16)	15 minutes	Defeat the bloodgliders.
Down with the Sickness	The lichyard behind Ala Gannha is full to bursting with the freshly buried bodies of those to have recently succumbed to the Weeping Cough─an affliction that induces hacking fits so terrible, that it makes the victim shed tears. The cause of this illness? The scales shed by the giant moth-like bloodgliders that fly over the village at night. If they were to be slain, the people might be saved. Spawn conditions: Speak with the frightened villager.
Child's Plague	60-64	The Last Forest (x17 y11)	15 minutes	Defeat the chapulis.
Child's Plague	Ala Mhigan legend tells of an ancient Gyr Abanian king whose pride angered the gods and brought upon his fertile land a plague of winged insects that devoured all grass and trees, leaving the desolate Peaks that remain to this day. The vilekin chapulis are believed by some to be the remnants of that plague.
Winging It	60-64	The Last Forest (x13 y8)	15 minutes	Defeat Etain.
Winging It	Wings of orange herald the morn Wings of white herald the night Wings of gold herald the cold Wings of purple...are filled with deadly poison what will melt your organs from the inside. Always take care when dealing with wings of purple, and Etain─queen of the fluturini─has a pair of the purplest.
Beat Boxes	60-64	The Last Forest (x19 y15)	15 minutes	Destroy the strong lockboxes.
Beat Boxes	Qiqirn cutthroats are preparing an assault on Ala Gannha and have consolidated their weaponry in conveniently labeled lockboxes conveniently located not far from the humble hamlet. If someone were to destroy these boxes and their contents, the bumbling bandits would be oh, so inconvenienced.
Days of Fluturini Past	60-64	The Last Forest (x11 y6)	15 minutes	Defeat the fluturinis.
Days of Fluturini Past	Adult fluturini will lay hundreds of eggs each day, and while some of these eggs will be consumed by predators, their sheer number ensures that many will survive to hatch...grow...and kill. Seek out and swat the swarms which threaten to wreak havoc in the Peaks.
Venting	60-64	Rustrock (x21 y15)	15 minutes	Defeat Ventus.
Venting	Anila are dreadful creatures whose incessant gyrations birth hot, sand-filled storms that ruin crops and send caravans tumbling from canyon-tops. Ventus is by far the worst of this breed, grown fat on the flesh of its lesser brothers.
Attack of the Groans	60-64	The Last Forest (x10 y14)	15 minutes	Defeat the dust anilas.
Attack of the Groans	When an anila spins, it kicks up copious amounts of dust─dust that is coarse and rough and irritating and gets literally everywhere. Every anila slain, a dervish averted. Every dervish averted, a pair of knickers free of sand's itchy burden.
Moth to a Flame	60-64	The Last Forest (x15 y10)	15 minutes	Defeat Ignamoth.
Moth to a Flame	To hear the smallfolk of the Peaks tell it, one in three of every home set to flame is done so by the notorious pyromantic, Ignamoth. While these numbers may be inflated, that does not change the fact that a massive fire-starting vilekin is flying loose about the countryside, and should probably be put down. Quickly.
Resist, Die, Repeat	60-64	The Last Forest (x9 y9)	15 minutes	Help the wounded fighter defeat the chapulis.
Resist, Die, Repeat	A Resistance fighter is putting up his best resistance against a flock of fighting chapuli who are resisting all his attempts to break free from the fighting. Are you so cold as to resist the call to aid in his fight? Spawn conditions: Speak with the wounded fighter.
Das Bhoot	60-64	The Last Forest (x21 y9)	15 minutes	Defeat the horrific bhoots.
Das Bhoot	Their rage binding them to the corporeal realm, the spirits of young Ala Mhigans slain at the hands of Garlean invaders roam the Peaks seeking vengeance even now, more than twenty summers removed from the fall of their kingdom. Release the spirits from this world that they might finally find respite in the beyond.
You Don't Know Jack	61-65	Rustrock (x27 y15)	15 minutes	Defeat Lumber Jack.
You Don't Know Jack	While some beetles will scour forests for entire days in search of wounded trees from which they can sip sticky sweet sap, one particular vilekin simply uses its head. Literally. Lumber Jack is notorious for violently butting against solemn sentinels until they topple so he may suck the life from the exposed trunk. If let to continue, there might not be a single tree left in all the Peaks come winter.
Barbershoppe	61-65	Rustrock (x23 y9)	15 minutes	Defeat the Brutal Barber.
Barbershoppe	Despite his title, the Brutal Barber is by no means a licensed practitioner of medicine, and any limbs entrusted to his care will most likely be lopped off, regardless of whether or not they require medical treatment.
Diceman Cometh	61-65	Rustrock (x34 y8)	15 minutes	Defeat Crapaud.
Diceman Cometh	Pious men say that gambling is a sin and that those who lose themselves in games of trump and dice will be damned to the seven hells where their spirits will become corporeal manifestations of their worldly vice. As ridiculous as this may sound, the mere existence of the fell Crapaud makes a good case in favor of the pious.
Stuck in the Muud	61-65	Rustrock (x25 y13)	15 minutes	Defeat the muud suuds.
Stuck in the Muud	Muud suuds have been cursed by the gods with an insatiable hunger that drives the creatures to madness. When not devouring flesh, be it rotting or fresh, they are searching for flesh...be it rotting or fresh.
Fletching Returns	68-72	Mount Yorn (x25 y28)	15 minutes	Deliver griffin feathers to the sorry sutler.
Fletching Returns	Seeing an opportunity to profit off the coming conflict, an independent sutler is collecting griffin feathers that he plans on crafting into arrows─arrows that he will sell at a premium to the Ala Mhigan Resistance, the griffin being the symbol of their fallen city–state. The sutler will gladly purchase any feathers you happen upon, as well. Spawn conditions: Speak with the sorry sutler.
Eat Big or Go Home	68-72	Wightrock (x16 y28)	15 minutes	Defeat the highland erucas.
Eat Big or Go Home	To sate their appetites, highland erucas do not bother with “smaller” prey such as rabbits, tigers, and chocobos. Qiqirn merchants, Ananta battlemaids, Roegadyn mercenaries. These are what the vilekin crave.
Love Me, Tindalos	68-72	Mount Yorn (x12 y30)	15 minutes	Defeat Tindalos.
Love Me, Tindalos	They say that dogs are a man's best friend. Tindalos, on the other hand, is no friend to man...or woman, for that matter. Tindalos is merely hungry, and would rather devour any and all who dare cross his path than make their humble acquaintance.
Home on the Range	68-72	Wightrock (x13 y36)	15 minutes	Defeat the highland erucas.
Home on the Range	Upset that his father insisted he take up the plow over the sword, a young boy of Rustrock decided he would leave the safety of his family's farmstead behind and join the Ala Mhigan Resistance. What he failed to take into consideration were all the ravenous beasts that would be waiting for him in-between, and now desperately needs an escort home.
Rattle and Humbaba	68-72	Goodblade (x15 y30)	30 minutes	Defeat Humbaba.
Rattle and Humbaba	Life in the Peaks can be downright difficult, but the people of the J tribe somehow manage with what little they have. Yet, when what little they have is constantly being stolen by a heartless brute by the name of Humbaba, that is simply salt in their wounds. The J seek a champion that might ease their pain. Spawn conditions: Complete Mouth for Water.
Forget-me-not	68-72	Mount Yorn (x24 y34)	15 minutes	Protect the Coldhearth resident from the kongamato.
Forget-me-not	A warrior of Coldhearth who journeyed to the Bull's Bath for his weekly dip forgot his sword by the pond, and now finds himself assailed by kongamato with no way to defend himself. Assist the man home where he may procure a second sword to help him retrieve his first. Spawn conditions: Speak with the Coldhearth resident.
The Day of the Griffins	68-72	Wightrock (x14 y25)	15 minutes	Defeat the true griffins.
The Day of the Griffins	The founders of Ala Mhigo chose the griffin for their kingdom's standard for its strength, ferocity, cunning, and endurance─all traits that make the winged beastkin one of the most deadly creatures you will ever meet, if not the last creature you ever meet.
Breakneck	68-72	Mount Yorn (x26 y25)	15 minutes	Defeat Neckbreaker.
Breakneck	When the King of Ruin fell, his head executioner, refusing to be subjected to the same cold justice he dealt his entire life, slit his own throat. Unable to bear the loss, the executioner's pet beast─Neckbreaker─took to the Peaks, where he has been continuing his kind master's work ever since, much to the chagrin of the region's innocent residents.
Slaughterwife-five	68-72	Mount Yorn (x23 y30)	15 minutes	Defeat the Nenaunir.
Slaughterwife-five	Nenaunir is said to have taken five wives─five wives he all loved with equal measure. When those wives were hunted and slain, he swore revenge against all mankind, and will not stop killing until he, himself, is killed.
5-year Energy	68-72	Mount Yorn (x28 y31)	15 minutes	Defeat Energetic Eruca.
5-year Energy	Their large bodies and relatively bright coloring make erucas easy targets for hungry predators large enough not to become prey themselves. There lives, however, one worm so full of vim and vigor that it has eluded capture for five whole summers, allowing it to swell to its current gargantuan girth. It should be noted that vim and vigor came from consuming the local citizenry.
Mouth for Water	68-72	Wightrock (x18 y34)	15 minutes	Help J'najaq Sunflare defeat the panteras.
Mouth for Water	Try as she might, J'najaq Sunflare is struggling to fend off the bloodthirsty panteras that threaten to maim and maul the J tribe maid who has come to the river to gather water. The warrioress sees you approach and sends a pleading glance. Spawn conditions: Speak with J'najaq Sunflare.
The Magitek Is Back	68-72	Wightrock (x14 y26)	15 minutes	Defeat the Lethal Weapon before it arrives at its destination.
The Magitek Is Back	The Lethal Weapon was meant to give the Empire the upper hand against the armies of Eorzea, yet it proved too difficult to control for even the most experienced of magitek operators. The test model created was decommissioned and stored in a lonely warehouse where it was to await dismantling...until it came to life! Destroy the contraption before it lays waste to the entire front!
