Baron '''Shuden''' is a [[JinDo]] merchant in [[Arelon]] on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|11}}
 
His family directed many trade routes around Arelon. They were offered a barony by [[Iadon]] to keep their caravans running. He is a known amateur (at least according to him) practitioner of [[ChayShan]].
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
He is a known amateur practitioner of [[ChayShan]].{{book ref|elantris|17}} When using ChayShan, Shuden repeatedly performs certain movements that serve as the key to the Dor. This gives him ever-increasing strength and speed, enough to break the bones of a [[Dakhor]] monk.{{book ref|elantris|63}} If his movement is interrupted, he loses access to the Dor and his increased physical powers.{{book ref|elantris|61}}
 
== History ==
During Sarene's fencing classes with the ladies he performed ChayShan and Sarene believed that despite his protests he actually quite liked the attention. Following [[Torena]] beginning the fencing classes, she and Shuden began courting each other, which the others found humourous given Shuden's previous aversion to romance.
 
He and Eondel were closest friends, both sharing a devotion to Sarene and a similar strong sense of honourhonor and decorum. In the span of a few days, Ahan betrayed them, [[Telrii]] had Roial killed and Eondel died killing Telrii. Sarene noted that Shuden took the events particularparticularly hard since his future father-in-law was the traitor, Torena disappeared shortly afterwards, and his best friend died.
 
During the Invasion of Arelon, when the citizens were rounded up for execution Shuden put on a final show of defiance by attacking the Fjordell soldiers and [[Dakhor]] monks with ChayShun, managing to snap the neck of one of the monks. His actions inspired [[Lukel]] and several of the female fencers to fight back but Shuden was knocked unconscious and the others summararily defeated. They were saved by the appearance of Raoden who had restored the Elantrians to full power.
