Adrotagia is the head of King Taravangian's scholars on Roshar.[1]
History
Adrotagia grew up as a close personal friend of Taravangian,[1] presumably in Kharbranth. She refers to him by his boyhood nickname of Vargo and he calls her Adro, even as adults. At some point, Adrotagia was married, although her husband later died; she still burns a glyphward for him each day. At some unknown point, Taravangian took Adrotagia into his confidence, telling her about his visit to the Nightwatcher, construction of the Diagram, and his use of Death Rattles. Adrotagia helped him to study these things and make sense of what they signify.[2][3]
Adrotagia, along with Mrall accompanied Taravangian to Jah Keved in the wake of the Jah Keved war of succession.[1] The three of them went among the Veden soldiers, comforting them, and she was present when Szeth returned to confront Taravangian about the Surgebinding he had seen Kaladin perform. After Szeth was sent on his way, Adrotagia accompanied Taravangian when he spoke to King Valam in his final moments.
