=== Chapter 16 ===
Raoden reflects upon his relationship with Ien, and observes to Galladon that his seon's aon is damaged and incomplete. Galladon and Raoden discuss what they miss most in their former lives, Galladon's home and Raoden's correspondence with Sarene respectively. Raoden talks of his engagement to Sarene, and this discussion leads to the revelation to Galladon of Fjorden's invasion of his home
Duladel Republic six months earlier. Galladon mourns over the loss of his [[Jesker]] religion, and belittles the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]] as a mockery of his faith.
Raoden returns to the chapel and is amazed at how beautiful it is with all the grime removed by Kahar. Raoden asks Kahar to clean the streets and offers more Elantrians to assist him. Kahar forgets his hunger due to the distraction that keeping busy provides. Raoden and Galladon discuss the growing ranks of their group and plan how to feed them and keep them occupied.
Many of Karata's followers lead by [[Dashe]] leave the chapel to attack Aanden's group due to reports that Aanden's followers are planning to attack the Elantrian children under Karata's protection. Raoden accompanies the assault squad and manages to convince both groups to stand down by confronting Aanden and showing him the beautiful sculptures beneath the dirt and grime and reminding him that he was once a great sculptor. Raoden also speaks of the Elantrian's "freedom" from base physical needs like food, clothing and shelter, liberating them to focus on higher callings like art. Taan agrees, and joins Raoden's group.
