'''Fjon''' is a [[Derethi]] [[arteth]] from [[Fjorden]] on [[Sel]]. He is the head arteth in [[Kae]], the capital of [[Arelon]], until the arrival of the gyorn [[Hrathen]].
 
===Banishment===
When Hrathen arrives in Kae, he immediately dismisses Fjon back to [[Fjorden]] to be retrained in a monastery.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Hrathen tells him that he has become complacent and too friendly with the ArelishArelene locals, neglecting his duties as a Derethi priest.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Hrathen believes Fjon has not used appropriate discipline with other priests under his command, and half of them will also need to be sent back to Fjorden.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Dilaf agrees with Hrathen's assessment of Fjon's weakness.{{book ref|Elantris|3}}
 
Fjon is shocked and initially disappointed by his repatriation, but Hrathen shows him orders from [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] [[Wulfden the Fourth]] stating that all of Arelon must be converted to Shu-Dereth within three months or the Fjordell Empire will invade.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Fjon then capitulates and departs for Fjorden.{{book ref|Elantris|3}}
 
===Return to Arelon===
Fjon reappears during the [[Battle of Teoras]]. He stabs Hrathen in the chest in a surprise attack before smiling and disappearing into a crowd.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} Hrathen is confused to see Fjon and does not understand how he found him.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} It is revealed that Wyrn instructed Fjon to kill Hrathen in order to fulfill his penance to [[Jaddeth]] and gain admission to the [[Rathbore Monastery]] to train as an assassin.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} Wyrn used some form of magical foresight, (perhapspossibly [[Fortune]]), to inform Fjon of Hrathen's location.{{annotationwob ref|Elantris|chapter=62-1|link=annotation-elantris-62-12226}} Fjon seems quite happy and content after stabbing Hrathen.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
 
==Trivia==
*Brandon has some regret that Fjon's sudden reappearance was not adequately set up in ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'', although he does feel that it represents the randomness that can occur in real life.{{annotationwob ref|Elantris|chapter=62-1|link=annotation-elantris-62-12226}}
