“Faelindir collects items that appear lost in the city and delights in taking them apart to learn how they work. He only returns an assembled lost item to a claimant if they can either describe the item in exacting detail (materials, mechanism, inscriptions) or provide the blueprints used to build it. He believes the city’s lost things are a library of other people's mistakes — and the best way to understand the city is to unravel those mistakes. He hums old elven dittys while he works, keeps a glass jar of 'lucky screws', and will sometimes barter a small discount for a fascinating broken thing or a story of how an item was lost. If presented with the true original blueprint, he will happily set the item aside for free; otherwise he charges the normal price plus 'soulwork' — an extra 25% fee for reconstructing from scraps.”
