Taarg

Taarg was a raven and a king of Corvid Xol. Once a follower of General Habeus Ironskin, Taar desired power for himself and broke away from the great raven's rule, fleeing to Corvid Xol after being labeled a deserter destined for death. Taarg had difficulties at first claiming power in Corvid Xol, but after he captured Sheer, a white goshawk and a seer that foretold prophecies by probing the Stream, he rose to kingship quickly, using Sheer as a way to fake prophecies that would lead to his rise to power. When Laat, Liel, and Willowing enter Corvid Xol, they release Sheer from Taarg's power, weakening but not destroying the raven's hold on Corvid Xol. After the Gyrkin War, Taarg mysteriously disappeared; it is said that he defied Ironskin in a confrontation after the war had been won, accused of siding with Deucan and thus losing his life as a result. Taarg was said to be strong but cowardly, and he was terribly afraid of Ironskin. After having a cushion that he could use to protect him, he became defiant of Ironskin and his rule, but truly feared for his life even when he had protection in place.
