Difference between revisions of "Taravangian"

 

Taravangian is a pragmatic man who considers his duty as taking the responsibility of doing whatever it takes to have a "better world". He has two quotes that show this: "Someone must stain their souls so others may live. Society offers us up to trudge through dirty waters so others may be clean."{{book ref|sa3|86}} The other is when he is asked on what he would do if there are four men and you are sure three are guilty but not sure who is the innocent he replies "To prevent murder to happen again … I must hang them and weep."{{book ref|sa3|28}} He doesn't believe in religion. He considers religion as something that fills gaps and brings a sense of comfort which prevents understanding. This is opposed to his trust in the Diagram, as this is the result of his raw intelligence.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}

 

== History ==

 

=== Kharbranth ===

During a [[Highstorm]], Taravangian's granddaughter became trapped within a room in the [[Conclave]] when a large stone fell and obstructed the doorway. The king enlisted the help of [[Jasnah Kholin]], who had already been in the city, offering her access to the [[Palanaeum]] in exchange for the use of her [[soulcaster]] to remove the rock. Making a deal with the heretical princess was a dangerous political move on Taravangian's part as it risked angering the [[Ardentia]], however, with the next Highstorm scheduled to hit the city within days, the king's architects would not have time to cut through the boulder. Additionally, the removal of the boulder by conventional means risked the potential of further cave ins within the area.{{book ref|sa1|5}}
