'''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]].
==Appearance and
Fjon is balding, pudgy, and stumpy.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} He wears the typical red robes of a Derethi priest.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} He is genial and is seen smiling and exchanging pleasantries with the residents of Kae.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} His office in the Derethi chapel is somewhat cluttered and decorated with paintings of nature scenes.{{book ref|Elantris|3}}
==History==
===Head
Hrathen mentions that Fjon has lived in Arelon for ten years, approximately the same amount of time since the [[Reod]] and the fall of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]].{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Around five years after Fjon became head arteth, [[Dilaf]] arrived from [[Naen]] with numerous Derethi converts, doubling the number of followers in Kae.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Fjon is impressed by Dilaf and makes him an arteth, although this is not actually allowable under Derethi law.{{book ref|Elantris|3}}
