=== Part Two: The Call of Elantris ===
After a lot of thought, Raoden eventually convinces Shaor’s gang to join New Elantris. He also finds a mysterious pool where Elantrians can go to die permanently. Over a number of days, the New Elantrians observe Hrathen being locked into Elantris, being “healed” of the shaod and subsequently released.
Outside Elantris Sarene, noticing strange behaviour from Iadon, follows him when he disappears early from a ball. She is horrified to find Iadon ritually sacrificing his palace staff in worship of the [[Jesker Mysteries]]. He is arrested but hangs himself in jail.
Claiming his recovery from the shaod was due to his devotion to Shu-Dereth, Hrathen regains the upper hand over Dilaf. He is also pleased at the death of Iadon as this gives Telrii a clear path to the throne.
Realising this, Sarene plans to marry Duke Roial because, together, they have a more legitimate claim to the throne than Telrii does. However, on the day of the wedding, Sarene is struck by the shaod though in reality, it is another dose of Hrathen’s potion. Without Sarene, Roial’s claim to the throne vanishes and Telrii is crowned king of Arelon.
Once in Elantris, Sarene spends a lot of time with Raoden though she does not realise it is him. Together, they manage to work out what is wrong with [[AonDor]] which has not worked for the past ten years. However, even with the addition of the chasm line to the Aons, AonDor does not seem as strong as it should.
Sarene rapidly heals from the shaod, as Hrathen did, and reunites with Roial, Kiin and the rest of the nobles. They decide to assassinate Telrii for the good of the country when one of their number betrays them. Telrii, with a number of guards, turns up to their meeting and orders Roial killed. Later in the evening, Eondel kills Telrii in revenge leaving Hrathen’s plans in ruins once again.
