Difference between revisions of "Raoden"

Raoden first is engaged to [[Sarene]] for political reasons, but he believes he knows her and loves her because of her letters and the talks they had through [[Seon]]. Raoden is thrown into Elantris just before Sarene arrives in [[Arelon]]. He first meets her when she performs her widow’s trial in Elantris, and although he believes she is trying to help those there, he believes she is doing the worst thing possible for them. He later revises his opinion after she finishes her trial and his band’s numbers increase significantly. Raoden later meets Sarene when she is poisoned by [[Hrathen ]] and thrown into Elantris. He spends almost all of his time with her while she is there, but when the poison’s effects stop, he tells her to leave Elantris and help [[Kae]], even though he desperately wants more time with her. Although he knows her for only a short time, his love for her is so great that he is willing to risk his life and try to rescue her from [[Dilaf]]. After he travels to [[Teod]] via [[Aon]] Tia, he flights to rescue her, and with the help of the other Elantrians and Hrathen, he is successful. Eventually, Sarene becomes pregnant with his child.
