Queen Taramis

Queen Taramis was the queen of the city of Shadizar and a prime worshiper of the god Dagoth. She intended to bring Dagoth to life in a ritual involving a jeweled horn and the sacrifice of her niece Jehnna. Rather than undertake the perilous journey to recover the horn herself, Taramis, who was also a powerful sorceress, promised to resurrect Conan's dead lover Valeria if he would do it for her.

Conan agreed, and after several adventures acquired the horn. But Taramis' chief guard Bombaata stole the horn and brought it back to Shadizar, along with Jehnna who was given a drug in her drink to make her more susceptible to her aunt's commands. However, the ritual was interrupted by the arrival of Conan's party, and the grand vizier killed before he could sacrifice Jehnna. Dagoth came to life, but as a bloodthirsty, rampaging monster. He killed Taramis by impaling her with his forehead horn.

Comments

  • In Robert Jordan's novelization of Conan the Destroyer, Taramis is a princess, not a queen.
