[[Kenton]] petitionedpetitions Elorin for his sponsorship toon his attempt at running the [[Mastrell's Path]] in the [[Kerla]]. After multiple warnings, citing the difficulty of the Path and Kenton's weakness, Elorin allowedallows Kenton to proceed. He explainedexplains the rules of the challenge and allowedallows Kenton to bring a sword, as Kenton's request was not explicitly forbidden.
 
Elorin was deeply concerned for Kenton's safety when he was being attacked by the [[sandling]] on the Mastrell's Path, yelling to Kenton multiple times that he shouldhas to ask for help in order for him to receive assistance. When Kenton refusedrefuses, he askedasks Praxton to intervene, but wasis compliant when the Lord Mastrell denieddenies his request.{{book ref|ws1|1}} He rushedrushes to Kenton after the test, calling for water, and wasis present when Kenton awokewakes up the next day. Elorin encouragedencourages Kenton not to attend the advancement ceremony, sensingostensibly thatbecause the Lord Mastrell was displeased with Kenton's actions.,{{book ref|ws1|12}} but in truth he wanted him to stay away because he knew the [[Kerztian]]s were going to attack the Diem that day, and wanted to protect his friend from the oncoming massacre.{{book ref|ws3|6}}
 
During the advancement ceremony, Elorin waspoisons responsiblethe forceremonial beginningwater thebowl ceremonywith by[[KaDo]]. passingHe then gives every sand master, except [[Drile]] who declines to partake, a drink from the bowl, ofpoisoning waterthe andentire Diem. He opens the formalities by welcoming the assembly. Heand then readreads names from a scroll, calledcalling forth those who would be advanced, and announcedannouncing their new rank. During the ceremony a large group of Kerztian [[DaiKeen|warrior-priests]] attack the assembled sand masters in an attack coordinated by Elorin. Due to the fact that they had all been poisoned by the KaDo he had given them, the sand masters dehydrate and [[Overmastery|overmaster]] much quicker than normal, and the Kerztians kill out most of the Diem.{{book ref|ws1|32}}{{book ref|ws3|6}}
 
Five months{{ref|text=six months before the end of volume three is about five months before the ceremony in the Kerla}} before the ceremony in the Kerla the [[Sand Lord]] appears to him in the shape of a towering figure made of sand. After seeing this, Elorin converts to the [[Ker'Reen]] faith, resigns his position as head of acolents, and quietly stops using his powers without the other sand masters noticing. He was going to quit the Diem entirely but the A'Kar tells him to stay in order to orchestrate its downfall from within.{{book ref|ws3|6}}
Elorin was presumed dead by Kenton after the [[Kerztian]] attack on the [[Diem]]. He returned to the Diem some time later, after Kenton's claim to the Lord Mastrell title. He fears he may have overmastered and is hesitant to attempt using sand mastery again after the attack.{{book ref|ws2}}
 
When he returns to the Diem after the attack and meets now Lord Mastrell Kenton, he says that he went south to his home village but didn't fit in there and so he returned. He claims to have overmastered and lost his powers, but later he admits that he never lost them, just that with his new faith he couldn't use his "evil" powers anymore. Kenton asks him to resume his duties as an assistant and he agrees. While at the Diem he coordinates attacks by Kerztian assassins against Kenton and Drile.{{book ref|ws2|2}}{{book ref|ws3|6}} Later, at [[Khriss]]' suggestion, Kenton tasks Elorin, alongside [[Dirin]], with running all of the Diem's day to day functions. Kenton tells all sand masters with questions to ask Elorin instead of him.{{book ref|ws3|1}}
 
Elorin presides over Kenton's duel with Drile and gives each of them to drink from separate ceremonial bowls. Elorin uses KaDo to poison [[Drile]]'s bowl in a plot to ensure a weak leader would rule the [[Diem]]. His plot succeeds and Kenton defeats the more powerful Drile. After the fight Kenton and Drile realize that something was wrong during their fight. Drile says that he felt the same weakness he felt that day in the Kerla. Kenton is surprised because he had thought Drile was the one who had betrayed the Diem in the Kerla. Together they quickly surmise that it must have been Elorin who betrayed them. Kenton confronts Elorin, and Elorin admits to have been working to cause the Diem's downfall for the past six months. Elorin says that two days have passed and he is allowed to try again. He raises a [[zinkall]] towards Kenton and fires a [[terken]] dart at the same as Kenton sends a ribbon of sand towards him. Elorin misses and Kenton's ribbon goes through his heart, killing him.{{book ref|ws3|6}}
