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. However, these traditions are about to be challenged as the champion of haste and waste butts heads with the guild. Join us as we navigate the challenges of Gridania's modern era in Final Fantasy XIV's leatherworker job quest!
