'''Tavinar''' is a [[Veden]] brightlord and father of [[Eylita Tavinar|Eylita]], [[Balat Davar]]'s betrothed.{{book ref|sa2|45}} He and his family are vassals of [[House Davar]].{{book ref|sa2|39}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Tavinar is a tall, lean, [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] man. Neither he nor his wife are particularly fond of their liege lord, [[Lin Davar]], and in fact appear mildly scared by him. Nonetheless, Tavinar remains a loyal vassal, and takes care to maintain a good relationship with his brightlord.{{book ref|sa2|39}} In return, the Davars consider the Tavinars to be good subjects, but not particularly important ones.{{book ref|sa2|61}}
He has a good relationship with his daughter, and allows her a lot of freedom, so long as she keeps a handmaid with her.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
== History ==
Tavinar and his family are first seen visiting [[Lin Davar]] when he announces his betrothal to [[Malise Gevelmar]]. They are clearly uncomfortable in brightlord Davar's presence and gladly leave as soon as the opportunity presents itself.{{book ref|sa2|39}} Since then, brightlord Tavinar comes to dislike Lin Davar and his family, which forces Eylita to visit them in secret.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
At some point, he and his wife travel to [[Alethkar]] for a month; during that time, his daughter intends to elope with Balat, although in the end, this doesn't happen.{{book ref|sa1|73}} Afterwards, it appears that brightlord Tavinar changes his mind on the Davar family, as by the time of [[Shallan]]'s journey to [[Kharbranth]], Eylita and Balat are formally betrothed.{{book ref|sa1|29}}
His fate in the aftermath of the [[Jah Keved]] civil war is uncertain, as Eylita arrives in [[Urithiru]] without either of her parents.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
