After the attack Elorin returned to his home village but found that he no longer fit in their anymore and went back to travelling around Dayside. Upon hearing that the Diem had reformed he returned and met the new Lord Mastrell Kenton. In order to hide his true nature Elorin lied and claimed to have overmastered and lost his powers rather than admit his treachery to Kenton. At Kenton's suggestion Elorin accepted to take up his duties as an assistant again and he agreed, while fulfilling these duties he also coordinated attacks by Kerztian assassins against Kenton and Drile.{{book ref|ws2|2}}{{book ref|ws3|6}} Later, at [[Khriss]]' suggestion, Kenton tasked Elorin, alongside [[Dirin]], with running all of the Diem's day to day functions.
