Dova is left in charge of the Death Rattles when Taravangian travels to Jah Keved to take control of the country.

Taravangian's ability to govern Kharbranth is determined based upon the level of intelligence that he awakes with each day. When he is either too dull or too intelligent, he is unable to affect policy, and on days of extreme, he is not permitted to interact with others. Initially he had only placed a limit on control of policy for days of dullness, however, after a day of high intelligence )where he had proposed a number of changes to fix problems within the city, one which included limiting those who could have children based on their IQ), he changed his rules to restrict access and power on days at both ends of the bell curve. On the day that he had solved the Fabrisan Conundrum, he had had to be locked in the Palace to prevent him telling the outside world about his condition and ordering those of low intelligence to commit suicide for the good of the city.
