    Harald Khorien was a younger son sent off to study with Lucien of the Seven Stars in order to help the family with an academic, and perhaps even arcane, education. While he was pursuing this education, his father and elder brother were seperatly slain in raids from the Manslayer. It then fell on Harald to take on the mantle of Count of Taeghas. He was a reluctant count, and wished to pursue a life of study and astrology instead of politics and rulership. Lucien, Harald’s mentor, brought Harald together with Darien Avan and helped forge a mutually beneficial agreement. Harald has since been free to pursue astrology and divination and extend his source holdings into Avanil, in exchange, Darien Avan gained practical political control in Taeghas, directing the law and the diplomacy of the realm, and Harald undertakes astrological and divinatory inquiries for Darien Avan. Though Harald normally keeps court in his ancestoral manors and castles. He is a principle advisor to Darien Avan and can be found receiving Avan and visiting Avan in return.

    Gweledigaeth hawk familiar
    Khorien pretends to an interest in falconry, but in fact only uses his hawk familiar to aid his reconisance by extending his divination reach by his spell link.
