Quest giver J'nasshym
in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks
J'nasshym sends a thank-you gift to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss, who did a service for her firm. She does not say what they do, but says they are more than they seem and that they reassure businesses like hers.
Meet J'nasshym, who picks your shoes for the Admiral's banquet (MSQ #20).
The trading city (Ch. 1): customs, merchants and guilds whose people return at the Drydocks and the banquet (Ch. 5-6).
of the Brugaire Consortium seeks the services of a conveniently unoccupied adventurer. of the Brugaire Consortium has tasked you with making a delivery─a gift parcel for services rendered─to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss. Head to the Sisters' “convent” found near Fisherman's Bottom, and hand the package directly to Lonwoerd
.. Return to the Octant and speak with J'nasshym. and convey Lonwoerd's message. It would seem that the Dutiful Sisters are far more important to the continued well-being of Limsa Lominsa than their modest facade would indicate...Next in the play order: Proper Procedure. Sweetnix
is too scared to take his monthly import papers to Mealvaan's Gate, so you carry them.
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
Excuse me, miss/sir, but might you have a moment or two to spare? You seem the type who enjoys being accosted for menial tasks, and I require someone to make a delivery to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss.
This pokes fun at MMO errands. The journal asks for a 'conveniently unoccupied adventurer'. J'nasshym picks you because you look like someone who enjoys being stopped for boring little jobs.

The title points to the song 'Edelweiss' from The Sound of Music. That story begins in a convent. Note that the journal itself puts the Sisters' 'convent' in quotation marks.
You'll find the Dutiful Sisters'...er, “convent” down near Fisherman's Bottom. Pray deliver the package to the doorman, along with the sincere gratitude of the Brugaire Consortium.
In truth, the 'convent' works for the Rogues' Guild. The guild makes sure that no one breaks the unwritten rules among criminals.

The Dutiful Sisters are not what they seem. J'nasshym hints that you may go to them yourself one day. So remember this 'convent' near Fisherman's Bottom.
Later, in My First Daggers, the guild's master calls this one-eyed doorman 'Ol' Lonny Left-patch'. He can't throw a blade, but that one eye misses nothing.
The Encyclopaedia Eorzea says the Upright Thieves became the Rogues' Guild. This happened after Admiral Merlwyb
's order that banned piracy.
This quest was added later, in patch 2.4, along with the Rogue class. Rogue is the only class added outside the first release of an expansion. So it can't be picked when creating a character.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
J'nasshym of the Brugaire Consortium, a business, is at the Octant. She is looking for a free adventurer to make a delivery.
J'nasshym sends a thank-you gift to the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss, who did a service for her firm. She does not say what they do, but says they are more than they seem and that they reassure businesses like hers.
Lonwoerd is the doorman of the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss, a quiet "convent" near Fisherman's Bottom.
Lonwoerd tells visitors without proper business to go away. He opens the Brugaire Consortium's gift of walnut bread, ginger cookies and sandwiches, and saves some for himself. He says the Sisters are always there if J'nasshym's boss needs them again.
Admiral Merlwyb does not appear in this quest; the name comes up only in a note on the city's past.
The Encyclopaedia Eorzea says Admiral Merlwyb gave an order that banned piracy. After that order, a group called the Upright Thieves became the Rogues' Guild.
The game was written in Japanese and rewritten, not just translated, for each language. Here is what the other versions say, next to the English.

Il faudrait déposer ce colis à la Société de négoce de l'Edelweiss.
‘This parcel must be dropped off at the Trading Company of the Edelweiss.’
A warehouse stands in for the 'convent'. So J'nasshym's pause before the word, the English joke, is gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't heard of them─the Sisters prefer not to advertise their presence here in Limsa Lominsa.
So artig sind die Schwestern gar nicht, wenn man es genau nimmt.
‘Between us: the Sisters are not all that well-behaved, strictly speaking.’
「エーデルワイス商会」は、リムサ・ロミンサに数ある商会の中でも、ちょっと特別な仕事を請け負ってくれる方々なんですよ。
‘Among the many trading companies in Limsa Lominsa, the Edelweiss Company are people who take on rather special jobs.’
English says they keep their presence quiet; German jokes the Sisters are less well-behaved than their name says.

Some o' them Sisters have unholy appetites, so I'd best save a few bites for meself afore I take this inside... Ahem. You let J'nasshym know we're always here should her boss have need of us again.

They do, however, provide a rather unique service of which the Brugaire Consortium has recently been the beneficiary. I would have you deliver this package to their doorman, Lonwoerd, along with our profuse gratitude.

You've delivered the package as I requested? Very good. I shall pass on the Sisters' sentiments to my superior.
...Hm? What manner of services do the Dutiful Sisters provide?
Continue your stay in Limsa Lominsa, and you'll likely find out soon enough. In fact, if you're confident in your abilities─and comfortable with the unconventional─you might wish to approach them yourself...
I'm quite sure an adventurer of your stature has already glimpsed the truth behind the facade. For a business such as ours, their presence in the city is incredibly reassuring!
