* Service to Jaddeth is rewarded during life as well as in the afterlife.{{book ref|Elantris|8}}

==Religious Texts==

Derethi scriptures are contained in the '''Do-Dereth''', though they also study the text of their parent religion, the Do-Kando of [[Shu-Keseg]].{{book ref|Elantris|3}}

 

==Organization & Hierarchy==

 

: To this end, Wyrn sent [[Hrathen]] to convert [[Arelon]] and then [[Teod]] to Shu-Dereth; if he failed to convert the countries, Fjorden planned a genocidal slaughter of all people of [[Aonic]] descent.{{book ref|Elantris|9}} This culminated in Wyrn sending [[Dakhor]] monks to Arelon and Teod for the [[Invasion of Arelon]] and the [[Battle of Teoras]]. Both these attacks failed, however, and Arelon and Teod remain independent{{book ref|Elantris|63}}

 

== Trivia ==

{{theory}}

* In the planned sequel to Elantris, Wyrn decides to reinterpret scripture to suggest that only the nations to the east of the [[Atad Mountains]] needed to be Derethi for Jaddeth to return, so it is possible that the Day of Empire will occur during the [[Elantris sequel]].{{bws ref|elantris-reading-group-questions|Elantris Reading Group Questions|date=Sep 27, 2006}}
