A relative newcomer to Eorzea, Lejo lived hand to mouth in Central Thanalan for a few moons before being offered room and board in an airship workshop. He's worked as a forager, supply runner and carpenter in the area since then, and even did a tour with the Ilsabard Contingent in Garlemald as a lookout and jack-of-all-trades.Lejo doesn't like to talk much about the Wood, preferring to quietly throw himself into learning the languages, cultures and customs of his new home. But for all his efforts, he seems unable to completely leave his old one behind, and there's only so much he can do to stave off his demons.

CUSTOM CARPENTRY

Now that he has a permanent workshop, Lejo can put his decades of working with wood to good use, and is always on the lookout for interesting custom projects to take on. Whether it's a folding table for the craftsman on the go, an ornate desk with secret compartments, or just a cute little tchotchke to carry on your keys, he'll gather the materials himself and put the hours into bringing your idea to life.He's recently been seen trying to sell some pieces in small markets around Thanalan, but will travel elsewhere to meet new clients if need be.

ASPIRING ENGINEER

Not content to keep his hands idle, Lejo will fill quieter moments experimenting with crystal-powered knick-knacks, to varying degrees of success. He's rigged up old ceruleum heaters to run on fire crystals in Garlemald, has half his home plugged into shards of one kind or another, and has converted Garlean vehicles to run on crystals a few times. The theory isn't new to him - he used to do it all the time in Golmore - but the world outside the Wood offers endless applications that he's keen to master.If you're a similar enthusiast, a professional in need of an assistant, or just want someone to fix your damn ThermoCoil, he might be the man for the job.

LENTE'S BOLE

Are you a viera recently separated fom the Wood or Mountain? Perhaps you've heard of Lente's Bole, an airship workshop in Thanalan that has taken in more than a few wayward children who no longer hear the Word. Lejo is one of them, and at least a little eager to help out those who are just as lost as he was not so long ago.Or perhaps you're at the Bole because you heard Lofn sells really good moko. Even if she's not home, Lejo can hook you up with a sale or samples, if he happens to be paying the house a visit.

THE ILSABARD CONTINGENT

Lejo served in Garlemald as part of the Ilsabard Contingent's adventurer corps, under the moniker 'Hanatatsu' - though most called him Hana. He kept more or less to himself while out on patrols, watching for activity from the Tower of Babil and thinning the stream of monsters and machines still spilling forth from it.Maybe you're in the corps too, or are a member of the contingent proper? A Garlean he's met at Tertium, or elsewhere to the south of the city?
