Javad Tharn is an Imperial member of House Tharn, the son of Euraxia Tharn, a nephew of Abnur Tharn, and the leader of the Stonefire Cult. He has invaded Reaper's March with an army of Colovians, his fellow cultists and the Daedric minions of Molag Bal. Although his invasion appears as a simple land grab, Javad seeks to align himself with the dro-m'Athra and plunge the Khajiit into darkness, thus destroying the Aldmeri Dominion.
Although his actions can be seen all across Reaper's March, he is only encountered in Dune at the end of the questline. After opening a Dark Anchor during the quest The Fires of Dune, he will walk the Two Moons Path and will make his way to the shadowy demiplane known as the Den of Lorkhaj. You will have to kill him to free either Shazah or Khali from the influence of the Dark Mane and allow the Lunar Champion to become Mane.

- Javad Tharn: "Now an intruder has breached the temple. Destroy them. Do not fail me!"
When you enter the undercroft, he will taunt you again before disappearing:

The Fires of DuneEdit
Cleanse the Shrine of Jode and you'll hear:
- Javad Tharn: "You cannot stop the inevitable. The city is ours. Soon I will hold your "Mane" in my hand, and my Dark Mane will walk the Path. The soul of the Khajiit will be lost to darkness!"
Enter the Shrine of Lorkhaj and a projection of Javad Tharn will be standing in front of the summoned anchor. He will also put the Lunar Champion in magical bonds:

Destroy the anchor and he'll threaten you:
- Javad Tharn: "I'll see you on the Two Moons Path."
The Den of LorkhajEdit
Javad Tharn will have the other sister that was holds the Dark Mane and will use them against the player and the Champion:
If Shazah is the Champion:
- Shazah: "The Den of Lorkhaj... it's even more beautiful and horrible than I could have imagined. Come, Hallowed."
- Javad Tharn: "Ahh, you remember her?"
- Khali: "Shazah... I've missed you. You left me alone in the dark."
- Shazah: "Khali? Is that you? You're alive? You're safe?"
- Khali: "Of course I'm alive. Safe and sound..."
- Javad Tharn: "Your sister is safe. Her soul has been purified by darkness. Come, join her. Come join your sister."
- Shazah: "Let her go! Show yourself, you bastard! I'll burn your flesh from your bones!"
- Javad Tharn: "Oh, you want her free? Here is your sister, free. Your sister, my new Dark Mane!"
If Khali is the Champion:
- Khali : "The Den of Lorkhaj … it's even more beautiful and horrible than I could have imagined. Come, Hallowed."
- Javad Tharn : "Ahh, you remember her?"
- Shazah: "Khali … I've missed you. You left me alone in the dark."
- Khali: "Shazah? Is that you? You're alive? You're safe?"
- Shazah: "Of course I'm alive. Safe and sound …."
- Javad Tharn: "Your sister is safe. Her soul has been purified by darkness. Come, join her. Come join your sister."
- Khali: "Let her go! Show yourself, you bastard! I'll take your face off with my claws."
- Javad Tharn: "Oh, you want her free? Here is your sister, free. Your sister, my new Dark Mane!"
When you get Javad Tharn to 50% health, he will call in the Dark Mane to assist him.
- Javad Tharn: "It seems I have the wrong sister... weakling child!"
- Javad Tharn: "Dark Mane! Attend me! May the shadows of your dead god imbue you with strength!"
God of SchemesEdit
If you have completed the Reaper's March questline, Javad will be in Heart's Grief, immobilized in an aura of purple magic.
- "Ahh … it's the Mane's pet. Are you here to let me out? I can't wait to dig my fingers into your very soul."
- You're not making a convincing argument.
- "I refuse … refuse to grovel and wet myself for your amusement. I served the Master, taught his lessons, reveled in his power. I knew what awaited me if I failed. And I'd do it all again if I could!"
After speaking to him, Abnur Tharn will comment:
- Abnur Tharn: "It's my small-minded nephew, Javad. The lad was petty and cruel for the enjoyment of it. I always suspected he'd meet an untimely end. Leave him to his fate. It's kinder than he deserves."
If you choose to release Javad, he will say:
- Javad Tharn: "Thank you, Uncle! You won't regret this!"
- Abnur Tharn: "Don't thank me, dear nephew. Enjoy your consignment to Oblivion."
He then dissolves into a puddle of green slime.
NotesEdit
- Cariel, in The Colovian Occupation, mistakenly refers to Javad Tharn as Abnur Tharn's son, rather than his nephew.
