Outward Appearance

Hailing from Nandorin descent. He stands tall. His physique boasts an ectomorphic build. Clear green eyes would seem to flicker about in an inquisitive manner for the majority of the time, as if he is on prolonged periods consistent vigil, scanning the area for danger or potential threats. 

 

His voice is rather deep-pitched for an Elf, a tone of which would carry over vast distances of the Woodland Realm's woods with ease should the need arise. His laughter sounds akin to the bark of a wild animal at times. Other times it is a rich, vibrant laughter of which is infectious. Such may act to represent two sides to Taurithon. The rampant, almost wild side and the calm, calculating side.  

 

 

 

Background

((Taurithon Peniacharon : Sindarin : Wood-Guard, Bow-Of-Vengeance))

There was a time where the eaves and groves of Greenwood were a peaceful place. where naught but the rich laughter of the Eldar and the sound of the wind shifting leaves through the rich glades of these lands did pervade the air. It was during such a time Taurithon was born into Arda. An elf born in the early second age, his sire and matron were both sentinels to the coveted and verdant groves of Greenwood. Serving their monarchs with unfaltering loyalty.

Many centuries were as bliss. The Eldar and the beasts of this fertile land lived alongside each other in harmony, there was no war, there was little strife.

Taurithon was a natural in using bows from a young age. at the age of seventy winters his sire granted him his first bow. It was made of the branch of a Silver Mallorn tree with a quiver to match.

During his training he showcased a natural ability in tracking, moving unseen and especially in ranged proficiency in archery. Such archery earned him a great deal of renown within Greenwood.

Quiet by nature, calculating by bearing. He did not take pleasure out of drinking fine wines with his companions. but instead saw bliss in solitude, perched upon the great canopies of his woodland home.

At a respectable age. He was perched atop his favorite tree; a silver birch. Tallest by build, widest by trunk compared to the trees residing within the eastern glades. Atop such a tree, he spotted what was to come! 

A horde of Spiders and Orc did scuttle and slip into the borders of Greenwood largely unnoticed. It was his attuned senses of which first gave away their movements as he was gazing up to the stars. The scuttling of the Spiders first and foremost drew his attention. With his keen, honed hearing and senses. He was more then aware of the subtleties of which would announce their arrival and proximity. He slipped down from the tree, as silent as a leaf falling. His long, swift strides take him nimbly towards the encampment he called his home. His voice carried urgency as he dashed through the forest. His shouts crying out "A Glamhoth! The Ungol! They are coming!". As if such words were interpreted as a form of a challenge by the oncoming surge of dark intent. The Orcs making way through the woods howled their responses. Their howling cries traveled for miles through the Woodland realm! 

    The Eldar acting as Wardens to the encampment heard Taurithon's warnings first. Raising the alarm the Eldar made ready for what was to come. Taurithon's parents were both killed in the fighting. Shadow overtook the majority of Greenwood. No matter how valiant, how hale the defenders stood. The corruption that settled across the Woodland realm by the whims of he who was driving such a darkness still lingers till this day within the once vibrant glades and trees of Greenwood the Great. After such a blight, it has ever been known as Mirkwood. 

Now he acts as a sentinel, standing vigilant against any of whom would threaten the borders of Mirkwood.
