=== Chapter 18 ===
Hrathen is interrogating [[Diren]], an Elantrian, in his office. Dilaf is shocked by this, but Hrathen explains that he needs to know his enemy. Hrathen asks Dilaf to prepare their nightly sermon, then dismisses him to talk further with Diren, who speaks of hunger and gangs. Hrathen then has the guard captain escort Diren back to Elantris.
Dilaf preaches zealously at the chapel that evening, speaking out against Elantris at first, then segueing into a speech against Shu-Koreth, as ordered by Hrathen. Then Dilaf reveals that he took custody of Diren and tortured him, and drives the crowd into a murderous frenzy against the Elantrian, but Hrathen interjects and manages to redirect the mob away from executing Diren, since that would turn Iadon against him, instead preaching that they stop following Korathi heresies.
After the sermon, Hrathen has Diren brought to the chapel gardens, and privately has him burned alive to put him out of his misery. Hrathen berates Dilaf for his overzealousness and overreaching of his authority. Hrathen concludes that Dilaf is a liability and must be dealt with.
Hrathen contacts [[Forton]], a subject of [[Hrovell]], who has performed various services for the gyorn in the past, and asks that he create a special elixir and deliver it to him in Arelon as quickly as possible.
