The Leatherworker's Guild in Gridania was founded to ensure the equitable and sustainable distribution of leather from animals that the Elementals would allow the Gridanians to cull. In today's Eorzea, hides are in much greater supply but the guild still carries on its conservationist traditions. Their guildmaster is ever mindful of the effect their trade has on the Twelveswood.

In ancient Allag, Summoners were once heroes of the people until selfish practitioners turned sentiment against the art.
