Lesca Guado

Lesca Guado, Follower of Yevon

> *"Yevon took their souls, willingly given from their still-living bodies."*

Lesca Guado just arrived in Daleos, unwillingly and unprepared. He knows that in this strange new world at least his faith in Yevon has paid off, for the "god" he worships hasn't abandoned him. Instead, he feels as though he's become one of the favored, gaining access to power and magic as he has never known or seen before. Perhaps it's his mission in this strange new world to bring the Teachings of Yevon to the people of Daleos? Only time will tell...

## Description

Lesca is a tall, gangly Guado man. His eyes are a deep green, and the twisted tree-like roots that all Guado call hair are a dull moss green. His skin is deeply tanned, like the bark of a tree, and his pointed ears bear some resemblance to that of elves. His unusual hair, starkly-veined face, and the clawed nails on his oversized hands belie that comparison, however, and reveal his origins as a completely alien race. Lesca dresses in the loose, conservative traditional robes of a priest of Yevon, patterned in the tribal colors of the Guado people. His eyes are narrow and placid, and it's often hard to read expressions on his otherwise stony face.

## History

Lesca hails from the world of Spira, which he was unceremoniously thrown out of after a chance encounter with Sin. He is a faithful Yevonite of such fervor that Yu Yevon has become his warlock patron in Daleos. Lesca was shunted from Spira at the age of 26 *(35 years before the Eternal Calm was created)*, so he doesn't realize or understand that Yevon is not actually a god. As such, he doesn't refer to himself as a warlock, but rather as a priest, and thinks of himself as one of the clergy of his home world. He would, in fact, be recognized as one by most of the populace in Spira.

Before Lesca came to Daleos, he lived among his people in Guadosalam, tending to the Farplane - a portal leading to a land harboring the souls of the dead. Ensuring that the portal was properly protected and cared for was the duty of all Guado people, who were fairly close-knit and xenophobic. Though Lesca's mother died giving birth, Lesca was not raised by his father alone; the Guado community took care of its own, being extremely close-knit as a race. Guado operated with something of a rhetorical hive mind when making decisions, so when the leader of the Guado, Jyscal, joined the Church of Yevon, Lesca was one of the first impressionable young adults to follow in his leader's footsteps. His rank within the Church was merely that of an acolyte, but he faithfully began to visit each of the Temples across the world to spread the Church's racial outreach policy. It was during one such visit that Lesca's ship was attacked by Sin, and was somehow swallowed and magically transported into the world of Daleos.

He nearly drowned in the process of rifting in to Osteria, landing in the waters of the pier. He was given a brief explanation of his situation by Sharr, a helpful yuan-ti who saw Lesca dealing with his shock. Since then, Lesca has grown somewhat acclimated to the city, though he still struggles to find enough coin to get by.

One afternoon, in a bout of homesickness, Lesca managed to summon Tempest in a Teacup, a tressym who now acts as Lesca's familiar.

Lesca was finally summoned to the City Hall to discuss his Rift-Marked status.

## Quest Record
