=== Part One: The Shadow of Elantris ===
The events of Elantris take place predominantly in the country of [[Arelon]] from three separate points of view: Prince [[Raoden]], Princess [[Sarene]] and [[Gyorn]] [[Hrathen]]. Raoden is the crown prince of Arelon and is first in line to inherit the throne from his father, King [[Iadon]]. He is engaged to Princess Sarene of neighbouring [[Teod]] with the hope that their marriage will strengthen ties between their countries in the face of external aggression from the [[Fjorden|Fjorden Empire]]
Raoden wakes up one day to find that he has been taken by the [[Shaod]]. He is thrown into the city of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] where he befriends [[Galladon]], a fellow Elantrian originally from [[Duladel|Duladen]]. Galladen describes the terrible lives than Elantrians live but Raoden believes that there must be a better way. He starts a new, more optimistic, society to help newcomers to Elantris. In the process he converts [[Karata]] and [[Taan]], two Elantrian gang leaders to his cause. The third gang leader, [[Shaor]], proves to be more difficult and his men's constant attacks are barely held off by the New Elantrians.
