Sarene became an ambassador for Teod at a very young age, serving most notably as the ambassador to [[Svorden]].
In an attempt to re-establish diplomatic relations with [[Arelon]], Sarene arranges a political marriage with [[Raoden|Prince Raoden]]. She meets and gets to know Raoden by communicating through [[Seon]] and letters. When she arrives in Arelon, however, she finds out that Raoden has died of [[Shaod|"disease"]]. A clause in the marriage contract states that the death of either her or Raoden qualifies as a marriage, so she finds herself a widow and legally that daughter of [[Iadon| King Iadon of Arelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|2}}
She spends the first three months of her "married" life working to block the efforts of a [[gyorn]] named [[Hrathen]] to convert the people to [[Shu-Dereth]] and thus add both Teod and Arelon to the massive [[Fjorden#Fjordell_Empire|Fjordell Empire]]. In addition, she works with Raoden's group of friends to attempt to change Iadon's system of government. She also brings food to the Elantrians and teaches a group of Arelish noblewomen , including [[Eshen]] and [[Daora]], fencing, in an attempt to give them some agency in the court.{{book ref|Elantris| 17}}
