Walkthrough

Note that you do not specifically need to be allied to San d'Oria to start this quest.
You must talk to to Louxiard in Southern San d'Oria (S) at G-7 and watch the cutscene.
Leave the area then return to Louxiard for another cutscene.
- Using Retrace counts as zoning here, and you can quickly resume your progress.
Talk to Rholont at E-7 to begin the actual quest. A cutscene will play that lists people you need to trade the Plumes d'Or to:
- Machionage (C-6)
- Louxiard (G-7)
- Illeuse (H-9)
- Rongelouts N Distaud (I-9)
- Sabiliont (by the chocobo stable at I-11)
- Elnonde (K-9)
- Loillie (she's up on a ledge at K-9 but you'll have to go up the stairs at L-8 to reach her)

San d'Orians have been discussing the losses in Norvallen, the Orcish attacks in San d'Oria, and their aftermath.
- The first event would be the Battle of Jugner in 862 at the beginning of The Great War (also known as The Crystal War outside of San d'Oria), resulting in victory for the Orcs.
- After the Battle of Jugner was the siege of San d'Oria, which lasted 3 weeks before they were repelled by the Temple Knights.
- These events were mentioned in the backstory of Doggvdegg, from Vana'diel Tribune II: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/guide/development/vt2/10/re14.html
- We arrive in the capital at least 5 or 6 months later, after the 4 nations formed the Allied Forces of Altana according to the original Crystal War timeline.
