== History ==
Riino becomes an Elantrian at some point before the [[Reod]]; he eventually becomes a Hoed, repeating a mantra of "Beautiful, once so very beautiful...", referring to the lost beauty of Elantris and the Elantrians.{{book ref|elantris|4}} He survives until [[Raoden]], ten years after the Reod, realizes what his mantra means and attempts to get information on [[AonDor]] from him. Riino displays just enough rationality and memory to direct Raoden to put him into [[Devotion's Perpendicularity]], where he appears to dissolve.{{book ref|elantris|25}}{{wob ref|8649}}
In fact, he is transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]] and eventually takes up a post at a lighthouse in [[Shadesmar]]. When Kaladin, [[Shallan]], [[Adolin]], and [[Azure]] accidentally enter Shadesmar, their travels bring them to Riino. Kaladin attempts to sneak up on Riino, who--possibly using an enhanced [[Heightening|life sense]]--detects him anyway. Riino introduces himself as the "Rii Oracle" and offers to tell Kaladin's fortune during a [[highstorm]]. He has a large sphere filled with Stormlight that shows Kaladin visions during the highstorm when he puts his hand on it. Riino is surprised that Kaladin can see using the sphere, and guesses how Kaladin has access to Investiture. After Shallan, Adolin, and Azure arrive, Riino negotiates prices with them on supplies, and helps them get a ship to [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}
