=== Chapter 14 ===
Sarene joins Queen Eshen's embroidery group to keep up with the latest court intrigues. Sarene talks about Teod court activities including fencing and offers to teach this sport to the women of the group, even though fencing is considered to be beneath nobles.
Ashe reports information to Sarene that was gathered in a scouting expedition to Elantris, and to the palace dungeons.
Sarene accompanies Shuden to a lavish party at Duke Telrii's residence. Sarene's noble rank allows them access to an exclusive gathering attended by King Iadon, which also includes high ranking Arelish along with Hrathen. Shuden talks of the history of [[Shu-Keseg]], the parent religion of Shu-Korath and Shu-Dereth, and of how the original intended concept of Unity became complicated over the passage of time. Shuden expresses concern about Hrathen and Lord Walen, and this concern is echoed by Lord Roial. Sarene tells the king about fencing at the queen's request, and Iadon acquiesces to their desire to exercise. A messenger delivers bad news to the king. Sarene tries to eavesdrop but is outed by Hrathen, as payback for her earlier interference with his preaching. Sarene meets as many people as possible to become acquainted with the political and social scenes to avoid being disadvantaged by Hrathen in this regard.
Upon return to the palace, Sarene learns about an intrusion in the kings chambers earlier in the evening.
