=== Visiting the Nightwatcher ===
Taravangian once went to go visit the [[Nightwatcher]] and received a curse and boon from the [[Old Magic]]. As a result he wakes up every morning with a fluctuation in intelligence, sometimes resulting in a genius and sometimes an idiot. He is most often average and the probability of him being more or less intelligent decreases the more extreme the case. Every morning he takes an intelligence test that he himself devised for himself on his betterintelligent days. The test takes the better part of an hour and is made up of mathematical problems. A trio of stormwardens consult regarding his answers and decide his intelligence for the day. The stormwardens as well as Mrall, his head bodyguard, if he is fit to rule and what restrictions he will be subject too. He is restricted to his room on both his worst and best of days because during both he tends to make irrational regulation. He also tends to be more compassionate the less intelligent he is.
