His personality
== History ==
Before the [[Reod]], Iadon was
To maintain some dignity and forgo the humiliation of having to abdicate he eventually committed suicide, after his heavy involvement with the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]] became public. After Iadon's death, the [[Seinalan|Patriarch]] of [[Shu-Korath]] came to Arelon to read a document Iadon had given him years before, which revealed that Iadon's capricious reign had intentionally laid the groundwork for a much more stable system of government. From then on, all noble titles are to be frozen, and that nobility will henceforth be based on inheritance and not on wealth.{{book ref|Elantris|38}}
== Beliefs ==
Iadon follows the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]], a fact discovered by [[Sarene]] when she follows him to a meeting of the cult, where she finds him performing a sacrifice of a girl her age. She is then noticed by Iadon and the priests, who try to attack her. The human sacrifice is then implied by others to represent Sarene herself, in an attempt for Iadon to overcome the hardships Sarene deals to him.
