Difference between revisions of "Dilaf"

Dilaf worked secretly for years towards Wyrn's true goal: The genocide of all Arelenes, and eventually all people of [[Aonic]] descent. This was a goal Dilaf strongly supported, as the extinction of the Aonic bloodline would bring with it the end of the Elantrians. Dilaf masqueraded as an ArleneArelene arteth in Kae as part of this plan.{{cite}}

Shortly before the culmination of this plan, Wyrn sent a gyorn named [[Hrathen]] as a decoy to distract anyone who might oppose Dilaf. Dilaf introduced himself to Harthen in his role as Arteth and impressed him with his religious zeal and knowledge of Shu-DeretDereth. Hrathen promoted Dilaf to the rank of Arden and swore him in as his [[Odivodiv]]. However, since Dilaf was actually of higher rank, this was not really binding. Even so, Dilaf and Hrathen's relationship quickly became hostile as Hrathen grew increasingly concerned about Dilaf's hatred of Elantris. In the following two months, the two plotted against each other. While HarthenHrathen tried to convert ArleonArelon, Dilaf prepared his invasion. When the last of Hrathen's plans failed and [[Raoden]] was crowned king, Dilaf began the invasion, revealing himself as the gragdet of Dakhor Monastery. His warrior-monks began the invasion by revealing they'd been smuggled into the country. When Hrathen realized Dilaf's superior rank, he acquiesced to Dilaf's control.{{cite}}

Dilaf captured Raoden, used him as bait to capture [[Sarene]], then stabbed Raoden, and took Hrathen and Sarene along with several of the Dakhor monks to Teod via human-sacrifice-fueled teleportation. The remaining Derethi warriors in Arelon rounded up all surviving Elantrians and Arelenes into Elantris to kill them. In [[Teod]], Dilaf prepared to kill Sarene in front of her unsuspecting father, King [[Eventeo]], when Hrathen, his basic beliefs overpowering his strict training, leapt to defend her and attacked Dilaf. Hrathen broke Dilaf's nose, and Hrathen and Sarene fled. Dilaf ordered the Dakhor monks to search for Hrathen and Sarene. The two got separated, and Sarene was cornered by monks on Teod's docks.{{cite}}

Raoden, followed by a host of newly-healed Elantrians, appeared on the docks using AonDor-powered teleportation, and the Elantrians engaged the monks as Raoden and Sarene ducked down an alley. Dilaf followed them and tried to kill them when Hrathen re-appeared. He revealed Dakhor-powered strength, and killed Dilaf before succumbing to his own wounds.{{cite}}
