He admits he knows nothing more about the task, but trusts you after the chaos in Sastasha. He sends you to Mother Miounne, his counterpart in Gridania. Miounne calls him a "foul-mouthed rogue."
The envoy's tour
The envoy's tour takes you beyond Limsa: three dungeon quests, at Sastasha, in Gridania and in Ul'dah.
What happens, step by step
Baderon has information on a new task.
According to Baderon, the Adventurers' Guild in Gridania is recruiting people for an as-yet-undisclosed task. You can learn more by speaking with Miounne, the proprietress of the Carline Canopy.
You have expressed your interest in the task to Miounne. Let her know when you are ready to hear the details.
Where it leads
Next in the play order: Fire in the Gloom. She describes the Tam–Tara Deepcroft, a Gelmorran settlement where Gridanians bury their dead.
Key lines explained
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
Speak with Miounne at the Carline Canopy in Gridania.
MiounneOh? Not here to dine? Dare I hope that you're the adventurer Baderon sent word about? ...You are!? The Matron be praised!
Lore
Limsans swear by the Navigator, Llymlaen. Miounne says 'The Matron be praised!', and the Matron is Nophica. Nophica is Gridania's guardian goddess. In myth, Nophica is also Llymlaen's younger sister.
Baderon has a new job for you, sent by the sister guild in Gridania.
He admits he knows nothing more about the task, but trusts you after the chaos in Sastasha. He sends you to Mother Miounne, his counterpart in Gridania. Miounne calls him a "foul-mouthed rogue."
Mother Miounne runs the Carline Canopy in Gridania. She is Baderon's counterpart there.
She first greets you as a diner, then is delighted to learn you are the adventurer Baderon sent. She offers to brief you when you are ready. She cries "The Matron be praised!" A chart note says the Matron is Nophica, Gridania's guardian goddess.

Japanese

French

German
Der Ruf des Waldes ‘The Call of the Forest’
English, Miounne
The foul-mouthed rogue sends me word that an adventurer might be along for the job, and it turns out to be you! Well, this makes things a lot easier, doesn't it?
German
Der schmierige Thekenhai hat eine Abenteurerin/einen Abenteurer angekündigt, aber ich hätte nicht mit dir gerechnet.
‘The greasy bar shark announced an adventurer, but I wouldn't have reckoned on you.’
German insult for Baderon is "greasy bar shark"; English says "foul-mouthed rogue".
English, Miounne
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miounne, and the Carline Canopy is my place.
Japanese
僕がミューヌさ。この茶房「カーラインカフェ」のマスターだよ。
‘I'Miounne, that's me. I run this tearoom, the Carline Canopy.’
「僕」 (boku) means 'I', a word normally used by men and boys. Miounne talks in a breezy, boyish way the English does not keep.
English, Miounne
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miounne, and the Carline Canopy is my place.
German
Das Hexenstübchen trägt ja nicht umsonst meinen Namen.
‘It's not for nothing that the Witch's Parlor bears my name, after all.’
English simply says the Carline Canopy is her place; German jokes the Witch's Parlor bears her name for good reason.
