'''Idan''' is a noble in the [[Arelene]] court on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|9}}
 
   
 
He is among a group of relatively unimportant young lords (along with his cousin [[Waren]] and [[Ramear]]) whom [[Hrathen]] and [[Dilaf]] approach with a proposal to convert to [[Shu-Dereth]]. Hrathen plans to start his conversion of Arelon with lesser nobles, and believes that more important nobles will join them as he destabilizes the government.{{book ref|Elantris|9}}

βˆ’
Idan is initially confused as to how converting will benefit him and the other nobles, and wonders who Hrathen perceives as the enemies of the Derethi. Hrathen appeals to the nobles' underlying insecurity and thirst for power by pointing out that many Arelene still cling to the idea that the [[Elantrian]]s will one day return, which undermines the power of the throne. Idan is easily swayed to his cause, but Hrathen does not place any value on his change of heart since he was too easy to convince.{{book ref|Elantris|9}}
