'''Taravangian''' was the King of [[Kharbranth]].
'''Taravangian''' is a character from the series ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]''. He is the ruler of [[Kharbranth]], and is widely known for his hospitals. Most of our information about Taravangian comes from [[Jasnah]] and [[Shallan]]s interactions with him. By the end of ''[[The Way of Kings]]'', Taravangian has become [[Szeth]]s master, having Szeth kill several important figures for unknown reasons. He is currently planning the assassination of [[Dalinar]] to prevent the unification of the [[Alethi]] [[Highprince]]s.
 
He set up a number of hospitals in the city, funded by the entrance fee to the [[Palanaeum]].
==Plot==
 
He used some of the hospitals to kill people and extract their [[Final Words]].
At the end of ''The Way of Kings'', it is revealed that Taravangian is using his hospitals as a means of listening to people's last words.<ref>See the [[The Way of Kings (book)/Epigraphs|epigraphs]]</ref> Shortly after the death of [[Gavilar]], the dying began to say strange things. Taravangian noticed this, and began to collect the quotes. The part one epigraphs of ''The Way of Kings'' appear to be drawn from Taravangian's collection of such quotes. Though Szeth is appalled by what he considers to be Taravangian's murdering of hundreds of innocents to collect these quotes, Taravangian sees himself as sacrificing a few in order to save the whole of mankind.
 
He employed [[Szeth]] to kill many of the world leaders, including the King of [[Jah Keved]] and [[Dalinar Kholin]].
