Difference between revisions of "Summary:Elantris"

Raoden and Karata sneak out of Elantris, using the well to descend into the Aredel River, which they float downstream into Kae. They gain access to Iadon's castle using a hidden passage, and after sneaking through the king's bed chamber, Karata leads them to a guard's room to leave a note and necklace for her daughter [[Opais]]. When leaving, they encounter Karata's husband who is a guard in the palace and who fails to recognize either of them in their transformed states, but Raoden uses a non-working Aon [[Aon#Sheo|Sheo]] to bluff him into not attacking, and they escape the palace without further incident. Karata reveals that she knows Raoden's true identity, and agrees to fulfill her bargain to not harm Raoden or his followers. In turn, Raoden asks that Karata help him improve the quality of life in Elantris and reveals that he is planning to plant a corn crop with the seed corn that is part of the food offerings so that the Elantrians can become self-sufficient. They return to Elantris through the front gates openly without problems, since the guards do not want to get in trouble for negligence in allowing them to escape into Kae.

 

 

Raoden returns to the chapel, giving a sword he took from the palace guard to Saolin, and telling Galladon of their new alliance with Karata's gang.
