    Artoirel Ironbone dialogue

    During mission 'As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness' during the startish area, caught him saying alarum? Its final fanatasy it may be what he is meant to stay but figured it mention it anyway since its older content and probably not getting much traffic. Obviously not a big deal but thought id bring it up.

    Before reporting things it's a good idea to do a web search to make sure it's not just a word you're unfamiliar with and a forum search to make sure there aren't already other topics about it.
