The Verdant Bastion · Earth
Taurus: The Earth Warden
A patient defender who can move mountains but refuses to abandon a promise once made.
The kingdom beneath the roots
Taurus protects the Verdant Bastion, a fertile realm of terraced valleys and stone cities grown around ancient trees. Its vaults hold seed archives from every kingdom, making the realm essential whenever war or drought threatens the Zodiac. Taurus treats that responsibility as a sacred promise rather than a source of power.
Strength that cannot be hurried
He can shape stone, awaken roots, and anchor a collapsing structure with his own body. His magic grows stronger the longer he stands his ground. That same steadiness becomes stubbornness when new evidence challenges an old decision. Enemies rarely move Taurus by force; they succeed by convincing him that changing course would betray his word.
Place in the Zodiac War
Taurus initially refuses to choose between Leo and Aries. Instead, he shelters civilians from both kingdoms and demands proof. His neutrality becomes difficult to maintain when the Gate poisons the roots beneath his capital. To save the seed vault, he must cooperate with Gemini, whose improvisation contradicts everything Taurus trusts.
