{{Tabs | maxwidth = 20 | tab1 = Info | tab2 = Appearances }} {{Infobox_character|name=Taxus|species=[[Dwarves|Dwarf]]|aliases=Forgemaster Taxus<ref name="7.31">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/28/7-31/ Chapter 7.31]</ref>|gender=Male|status=<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Show Spoiler" data-collapsetext="Hide Spoiler">Alive</div>|family=[[Chime]] (''Adopted Daughter'')|occupation=Scavenger<br /> Forgemaster (''Formerly'')|residence=[[Hesheit]]|first appearance=[[The Last Tide: Book One]]|image=Taxus_snip.png|caption1=By Shane Sandulak}} '''Taxus''' is a former [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] master [Smith], now living on the island of [[Hesheit]]. ==Appearance== With a height of 5<nowiki>'3''</nowiki>, Taxus appears to be a very short Human. He has a squat build, with broad shoulders and large arms. He has a full head of brown hair and a thick beard that extends down to his chest. Although his beard is mostly groomed, there are salt stains on it. His face is craggy and lined and a few grey hairs hint at his age, which is over a hundred and thirty years old.<ref name=":0" /> ==Personality== Taxus is kind and generous, readily sharing his entire food supply with Solca without hesitation. He is methodical in his actions and often reminisces on faraway places with great fondness. Nevertheless, a sense of deep sadness and regret haunts him, and at times Taxus sits alone, weighed down by the past.<ref name=":0">[[The Last Tide: Book One]]</ref> He cares deeply for his adopted daughter Chime, and was willing to send her away from [[Hesheit]] for a better life. In the past, Taxus was considered to be one of two greatest [Smiths] alive along with [[Pelt Dooristone]]. Pelt claimed that they "grew fat and arrogant because we could hammer drunk better than an army of our ‘competitors.’"<ref name=":1" /> After an incident that ruined an entire generation of [Smiths] which resulted in his exile from [[Deríthal-Vel|Deríthal-vel]], he swore to never forge or wield tools again.<ref name=":0" /> ==Background== Forgemaster Taxus was once one of the best smiths in [[Deríthal-Vel|Deríthal-vel]] and the world, and was acclaimed as one of the only true smiths of Deríthal-vel in the last seven hundred years with [[Pelt]]. However, an incident resulted in them and several others being exiled in disgrace.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/06/18/interlude-singing-ships/ Interlude - Singing Ships]</ref> Taxus moved to Hesheit, near [[the Last Tide]]. He swore never to create again, to touch hot metal or wield a hammer in forging, only using his talents for small repairs or bending items into shape. He would later adopt [[Chime]], a half-Dullhan, as the native [[Dullahans]] shunned her. Taxus would host [[Solca Vis]] in his abode when she was transported to Innworld.<ref name=":0" /> ==Chronology== Taxus fixed Solca's boat, and taught her about the [[system]] of classes and Skills, and the world at large. He also asks Solca to take Chime with her when she leaves.<ref name=":0" /> ==Powers and Abilities== Taxus was the most knowledgeable of Deríthal-vel's smiths on forging with magical flames.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/08/9-44-p/ Chapter 9.44 P]</ref> ===Classes/Levels:=== ===Skills:=== * [Spark Hammer]<ref name=":0" /> ==Trivia== *The only continent he's never visited is [[Izril]].<ref name=":0" /> *He hated island food in the past.<ref name=":1" /> ==References== <references /> [[Category:Characters]] [[Category:Dwarves]] [[Category:Blacksmiths]] [[Category:Hesheit]] [[Category:The Last Tide]]
