'''Dereth''' is the founder of the [[Shu-Dereth]] religion.{{book ref|Elantris|14}} Though his [[Fjordell]] name is more well-known in modern times, his original [[JinDo]] name is '''DeHwo'''.{{bws ref|books/elantris/elantris/elantris-glossary|Elantris Glossary|date=2013-08-30}}
Dereth lived in [[JinDo]] anciently and studied as a disciple of [[Keseg]] along with [[Korath]]. Keseg taught Dereth and his other disciples about unity, founding the Shu-Keseg religion. When Dereth and Korath left JinDo to teach in the lands to the north, they interpreted his teachings differently, which led to the foundation of [[Shu-Dereth]] and [[Shu-Korath]]. Dereth took Keseg's teachings about unity to mean that people should be united through obedience.{{book ref|Elantris|14}}
He presumably wrote the ''[[Do-Dereth]]'', one of the holy books of Shu-Dereth, although over the years its text has been altered at least to include references to [[Jaddeth]].{{book ref|Elantris|3}}{{book ref|Elantris|18}}{{book ref|Elantris|43}}
