Editing Taxus (section)

==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" />
