Difference between revisions of "Summary:Elantris"

Crown Prince [[Raoden]] of [[Arelon]] wakes up to find that he has been taken by the [[Shaod]]. His father, King [[Iadon]], exiles him to [[Elantris]] with a small funeral offering of food and wine. Raoden meets a beggar and gives him a loaf of bread. He turns to walk away, only to hear the young beggar assaulted by five other Elantrians for the bread. He runs from the men, but finds his strength quickly fading and tosses the remainder of his basket to them. Raoden meets [[Galladon]], a man from [[Duladel]] also taken by the Shaod. Galladon informs Raoden that his injuries will not heal because he is dead, and Raoden finds that indeed, he has no heartbeat. Raoden decides to trust Galladon and offers him a piece of dried meat he had hidden from his basket in exchange for being his guide in Elantris for 30 days.
