Wursh

 is a half-orc blacksmith. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Wursh the Tapper is a tall (about 7 feet tall) and muscular half-orc. He is bald and has a thin chin beard of course, black hair. Both his arms are tattooed,and, according to him, the tattoos have ceremonial meaning in Boroftkrah.

Personality
Wursh appears to be a very serious individual, completely aware of his physical appearance and orcish heritage. He seems driven to fight against the orcish blood that coarses through him.

Wursh seems to be specially talented at reading people: he gives Fjord a lesson in self-confidence, telling him not to be so insecure, as it could cost him greatly. This advice also shows his self-confidence and emotional maturity.

Background
Wursh is from Boroftkrah, a community in the Greying Wildlands, northwest of Xhorhas. When Fjord asked why he was in Rosohna, he said that he had an apprenticeship "up north" and had been trying to go for it, but "it's a bit dangerous in the Alps to get to the Sanctum so I headed south." It is possible that the Sanctum he referred to is the Cinderrest Sanctum under Kravaraad.

The Mighty Nein found Wursh working in a small but well-built and sturdy smithy called the Hammered Call, where he was eating while having a break from work. Wursh welcomes them, and after having a brief conversation with the group about his origins, he provides them with some information about the broken sword, telling them that it appears Uthodurnian in its construction. He also tells them where they can find diamonds in Rosohna.

After the Mighty Nein leave the Hammered Call, Wursh has a brief conversation with Fjord. Wurst tells Fjord that he acts as if he had something to prove, something which could cost him his life, as well as the burden of having orcish blood coursing through their veins. He ends the conversation by telling the smaller half-orc to be confident on who he is.
