== History == Years before the [[Invasion of Arelon]], Hrathen was poisoned by a political enemy with a poison that had no known antidote.{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} Hrathen went to Forton for help and was cured. Hrathen kept in touch with Forton via [[~~Seon~~seon]], ordering potions, antidotes, and the like. ~~Hrathen~~While ~~once~~attempting to convert [[Arelon]] to [[Shu-Dereth]], Hrathen commissioned a potion that could simulate the appearance of an [[Elantrian]] who had been taken by the [[Shaod]] after the [[Reod]].{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}}{{book ref\|Elantris\|30}} Hrathen used this potion both on himself{{book ref\|Elantris\|30}} and [[Sarene]]{{book ref\|Elantris\|38}} to create the appearance of a miracle healing and gain leverage on [[Eventeo]], Sarene's father and king of [[Teod]].{{book ref\|Elantris\|45}} == Appearance & Personality== Forton had a mouse-like face with large ears.{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} He also had a persistent cough, because of various substances that Forton liked to smoke. These same substances also caused Forton to be absolutely content with his life. Forton was a man of contradictions. While he was a devote follower of the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]] and was considered a mystic of sorts in his town, he also professed to be staunchly [[Derethi]].{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} His knowledge of Derethi doctrine was impressive, but still lacking in some areas, such as his belief that [[gyorn]]s could simply pray to Jaddeth to have their words directed to anyone with a ~~Seon~~seon. Forton, like many in Hrovell, spoke a dialect of [[Fjordell]] that was thick, harsh, and rough sounding.{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} Forton was an apothecary of unparalleled skill.{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} In fact, Forton's potions are [[Investiture\|Invested]],{{tweet ref\|688913251355111424\|In Elantris, are Forton's "potions" magical, or is he using natural substances?\|date=Jan 17th, 2016}} likely drawing on the power of the [[Dor]]. It is unknown how exactly Forton creates these potions, where he learned his skills, or if there are other people who can also make these potions. There was no one in [[Opelon]] who could match Forton's skills in making antidotes, elixers, potions, and poisons.{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} He was so skilled and such a useful tool that Hrathen overlooked the fact that he was a heathen. Forton was also bound to a ~~Seon~~seon, allowing for instantaneous communication across the world.{{book ref\|Elantris\|18}} == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Windrunner\|Windrunner]] ([[User talk:Windrunner\|talk]]) 00:45, 29 May 2016 (MST)}} ~~{{complete\|reviewed=yes}}~~ {{Elantris}}
