Early in his reign, Wulfden was already preparing to invade Arelon before Elantris fell to the Reod.{{wob ref|2236}} In the recent past, the monks of the Derethi [[Dakhor]] monastery had learned how to access the [[Dor]] to gain superhuman strength, speed, and durability, making them a deadly fighting force.{{wob ref|2236}}{{book ref|Elantris|60}} ▼
The Fjordell Empire continued to expand its influence after the Reod, including the annexation of [[Duladel]].{{book ref|Elantris|6}} Arelon and Teod were the only remaining nearby nations that had not submitted to Fjorden, and Arelon had been significantly weakened by the loss of [[Elantrian]] magic. [[Raoden]] admits that it would be foolish for Fjorden to delay an attempted invasion.{{book ref|Elantris|43}} Wulfden sends [[Hrathen]] to Arelon, tasking him with converting Arelon and Teod to Shu-Dereth within three months to prevent their destruction.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} However, this was a ruse, as Wulfden never intended to actually try and convert the Arelenes and simply wants to destroy them.{{book ref|Elantris|58}} Hrathen was actually sent as a distraction so that [[Dilaf]] and other Dakhor monks could infiltrate Arelon unnoticed and set off the [[Invasion of Arelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|58}}{{wob ref|2186}} ▼
The invasion is halted after Hrathen betrays Wulfden and Raoden restores Elantris, but Wulfden retains control of the Empire.{{book ref|Elantris|63}}▼

Wulfden himself has magical abilities.{{wob ref|2226}} He tells [[Fjon]] to travel to [[Teoras]] and assassinate Hrathen during the invasion, even though Wulfden should not have known where Hrathen was going to be.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} The source and extent of his powers are unknown, although his ability to see into the future may have some parallels to other temporal abilities seen in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|4645}}
