Taifar Saxum

Taifar Saxum (The Sword) Toron Saxum, a renowned sword maker and weapon maker, saw Lapis begin the fight. With hardened enhanced steel he tried to deliver what blows he could until he realized essence was the only way even to begin to deal damage. They forged weapons to fight the war and believed that a good offense is a good defense. Symbol: One dot/Great sword Ally: Taifar Mactos (3): Currently still in their land imposing restrictions on their research after the first Mactos went insane. However, Saxum feels bonded with them. Adversary: Taifar Fondren (8): Ideological and Fondren considers Saxum soft since their side of the Forgelands is so peaceful that they hardly have to fight for it. TAKE ON THE STORY: Exford did not save Phinea; Saxum did. Saxum also lobbed off the hand of the Colossi, not Candora. OTHER PLOT LINES: There has to be information they will not let Mactos have. They have to believe Mactos can’t handle themselves. How do they feel about Exford? The war ended with Exford winning. Why did they interfere with Clan 3? STRUCTURES/AREA: Hall of Weapons: The Anvil’s Square: The Main meeting area with tables and market areas built to resemble Anvils. This also is where many swordsmen sell their wares and have their workshops. Artisan’s Quarter: The district where the swordmakers live and train but are separated from the wielders. A district they have only improved by themselves. Training Fields: A scarred and torched arena outside of town meant to train soldiers and those interested in combat-related uses of the essence. The Wielder’s District: Lane of Fire: An extension of the Forge of the fallen with names of those who perished in the War of the Shield and Sword. A Lane with crystal-covered lava flows gives the illusion of illuminated streets with the names of the fallen soldiers. The Guide of the Broken Sword: A Marble Memorial of the Massacre of the Mindless. The inscription reads, “It all comes with a price…To What Awaits” Forge of the Fallen: The customary forge built in honor and memory of Taron Saxum. Contains a Greatsword built by Candoran Craftsman to honor and evoke Saxum traditions. Eastern Gate: The walled area on the city’s outskirts that marks the end of the Forgelands. An imposing but often loosely guarded gate TASKS: Weapon making for trade and the brewing war Roll Axes (45), Spears (20), Long Swords (38), Creating BOWS (29) Hand number to lord and they do it. Protecting the Eastern Pass Reinforcing their people in the Mactos area (a gift from those who stand beside you) Mention Fondren seems undecided as to their side. Too busy skinning folk to pay attention to their own lands Training recruits Where do these recruits come from? Vetting travelers CHARACTERS: High Status: The Qrohman: Atmos Saxum Forgelord: V’ristos Hadriak Saxum Head of the Wall: Head artisan: Mendagart: The spiritual blesser of creations.
