+ | Eton, Prince [[Raoden]]'s brother, was mentioned periodically in the first three quarters of the book, as an irrational man and a potential embarrassment to the court, whom King [[Iadon]] sent off to a distant [[Arelish Plantations|plantation]] some time before the book began. In his youth Eton enjoyed holding mock battles with peasants, and often tormented Raoden. Raoden eventually adapted and learned to best his cruel brother, laying the groundwork for his political maneuvering with his father as a young man. |
In the final act of the book, Eton arrives in Kae with an army. [[Sarene]] first sees him after she emerges from [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]], when he rides up to the palace with a dozen soldiers, announces his claim on the throne, and sets the palace on fire. Later he meets with Hrathen, agreeing to convert to [[Shu-Dereth]] and unsettling Hrathen with the calm manner in which he contradicts both logic and himself. Hrathen and Eton meet again, and Hrathen attempts to make some progress on his goals as Eton forces him to play Stones, a game Eton claims is wildly popular but Hrathen is confident exists only in Eton's mind. Hrathen leaves the meeting increasingly frustrated. |
