Taran Thule is a high or sun elf who lives on the western side of town with his adolescent half-human daughter, Dawn. A highly skilled artificer, Taran makes his living constructing and repairing clockwork devices for the town, the crowning achievement of which is Anodyne, a fully sapient clockwork fairy who assists the town doctors in surgery and emergency care.
Taran and Anodyne are close-lipped about their past before arriving in Pumpkin Hollow (although Anodyne will sometimes speak longingly of Providence, the clockwork city) and Taran is known to react with vicious rudeness if presented with any speculation on Dawn's origins or her other parent. So long as those two topics are avoided, however, Taran is friendly and generous with his skills, and has never tried to restrict Dawn or Anodyne's movements around the town. This last point is especially notable given the large amount of work that must have gone into creating Anodyne's constructed soul -- and the fact that Anodyne himself tends to avoid spending any time with Taran outside of necessary maintenance of his body. There's a tension there that neither will speak of.
