{{quote|Go to the heathanheathen peoples of the West and declare to them my final warning, for while my [[Fjordell Empire|Empire]] is eternal, my patience will soon end. Not much longer will I slumber within a tomb of rock.

The '''Day of Empire''' was a day prophesied by [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] [[Wulfden the Fourth]] when the whole world would be converted to [[Shu-Dereth]] and [[Jaddeth]], the Derethi god, would return to [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|3}}

In an attempt to bring about this day, Wyrn planned to send [[Hrathen]] to warn [[Arelon]] and [[Teod]] of his impending attack, followed by a genocidal slaughter of all people of [[Aonic]] descent.{{book ref|Elantris|58}} This culminated in Wyrn sending [[Dakhor]] monks to Arelon and Teod for the [[Invasion of Arelon]] and the [[Battle of TeoinTeoras]]. Both these attacks failed and Arelon and Teod remained independent,{{book ref|Elantris|63}} so the Day of Empire has not occurred yet.

In the sequel to Elantris, Wyrn decides to reinterpret scripture to suggest that only the nations to the east of the [[Atad Mountains]] needed to be Derethi for Jaddeth to return.{{qa ref|799|10|Speaking of sequels, here's what I'M planning|date=Oct, 2004}} Soso it is possible that the Day of Empire will occur during the [[Elantris sequel]].{{bws ref|elantris-reading-group-questions|Elantris Reading Group Questions|date=Sep 27, 2006}}
