▲'''Adrotagia''' is the head of King [[Taravangian]]'s scribes and scholars on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
== Appearance & Personality ==
Adrotagia also presumably helps with interpreting the [[Death Rattle]]s, which were used to augment the Diagram.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} She keeps in contact with [[Joshor]] and [[Dova]], who collect these Death Rattles. Adrotagia also keeps track of the various [[Unmade]] on [[Roshar]] like [[Moelach]] (for the Death Rattles) and [[Nergaoul]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
As a scholar who is also an unbeliever, Adrotagia disapproves of people relying on faith rather than evidence.
She shows ruthlessness in seeing the goals of the Diagram achieved even when they involve murder, showing little regard for Taravangian's concerns for the deaths they've caused whenever he was having a day of low intelligence but high compassion.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} Despite this, Adrotagia still follows some sort of moral compass. She even once objected to the idea of killing innocent children, calling Taravangian a monster for ordering so during one of his extremely intelligent but conceited days.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
== History ==
Adrotagia grew up as a close personal friend of Taravangian,{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} presumably in [[Kharbranth]]. She refers to the king by his boyhood nickname of '''Vargo''' and he calls her '''Adro''', even as adults. At some point, Adrotagia was married
Along with [[Mrall]], she accompanied Taravangian to [[Jah Keved]] in the wake of the [[Jah Keved war of succession]].{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} The three of them went among the Veden soldiers, comforting them, and she was present when [[Szeth]] confronted Taravangian about the [[Surgebinding]] he had seen [[Kaladin]] perform. Taravangian found it unfortunate that the assassin had seen Adrotagia, as he did not want Szeth to be aware of her in case he turned against Taravangian. After the assassin was sent back to his mission, Adrotagia accompanied Taravangian to speak with King [[Valam]] in his final moments. There, Taravangian would gain Jah Keved as his second kingdom.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
