'''Taravangian''' is the king of [[Kharbranth]].{{ref|b|twok|c|3}}
 
He is described as elderly, with a wispy white beard. He has pale grey eyes and an open, kindly face.{{ref|b|wok|c|5}} He lives with perpetual aches in his body. He has other symptoms of old age although he is supposedly fit for his age.
 
He is very popular among many darkeyes because he has set up a number of hospitals in the city, funded by the entrance fee to the [[Palanaeum]].{{ref|b|twok|c|7}} In these hospitals everybody is healed without having to pay for it. He even visits his hospitals once a week.{{ref|b|wok|c|48}}
 
In general he is considered slow-witted or even dull. In truth, Taravangian once went to go visit the [[Nightwatcher]] and received a curse and boon from the [[Old Magic]].
