=== Elantrian ===
A few months after he is taken by the Shaod,{{book ref|Elantris|4}} Galladon meets [[Raoden]] who is running away from five other Elantrians on the latter's first day in Elantris. He starts introducing Raoden to the realities of Elantris, telling him they are already dead and their bodies no longer heal and that the pain eventually drives every Elantrian mad. Raoden offers some of the food he was given to Galladon in exchange for educating and guiding Raoden for thirty days. Galladon reluctantly agrees.{{book ref|Elantris|1}} He starts teaching Raoden by showing him how the gangs in Elantris work, and how to keep his body from harm as much as possible, and he talks of the [[Hoed]]. He shows the market section, the university, and the palace of Elantris where the three gangs make their homes. He tells Raoden that when a [[
They see the [[Derethi]] [[gyorn]] [[Hrathen]] preaching on the walls of Elantris. Later, they go to the gates and despite Galladon's protests, Raoden rescues a man named [[Mareshe]] from the gangs and recruits him. They run from [[Shaor]]'s men to a building with an unstable staircase. The staircase collapses, and Raoden throws the newcomer's food to the men below in the hopes that the men will leave. They learn that Mareshe is a jeweler, but Raoden asks him to make shoes. Mareshe agrees and they start the foundation of New Elantris.{{book ref|Elantris|7}} This, however, makes the gangs think Raoden is starting his own gang.
They continue recruiting and select a [[Korathi]] church as their base.{{book ref|Elantris|10}} They move Galladon's father's books to this base, though it takes an hour for Raoden to convince Galladon to do so. Soon the Elantrians start coming to New Elantris by themselves and ask to join.{{book ref|Elantris|13}}
Galladon eventually learns there was a rebellion in his homeland which resulted in the republic collapsing and that [[Shu-Dereth]] is the state religion in Duladel. He is deeply shaken by the news. Raoden shows Galladon bags of seed corn and asks how he would judge the quality of the seeds.
Galladon is instrumental in Raoden's efforts to establish order in New Elantris. He also explains the concept of the [[Dor]] to Raoden{{book ref|Elantris|19}} and plays a large part in the battle for Teod, organizing and leading the Elantrians who came to Teod's rescue.
