Since at least 4708 AR, Kharswan has held the title of Thakur of Jalmeray, and thus is the nominal ruler of that land. In practice, the day-to-day administration is in the hands of the Maurya-Rahm, his vast legion of advisers, and Kharswan has very little actual authority. He spends his days gardening, painting, reading poetry, setting his advisers against one another, while balancing the needs of the island's monastic leaders, mystics, and spirits. He is also known to have at least one son. Kharswan resides in the Thakur's Palace in Jalmeray's capital of Niswan.

Governing philosophy

Kharswan believes that any who seek or bring magical knowledge should be welcome in Jalmeray. However, he has no respect for spellcasters who use the island to study the 'abomination' of the Mana Wastes, as the blasted Wastes are the antithesis of the magic-enriched island nation. Such researchers are politely encouraged to take their interest elsewhere.
