The '''Svrakiss''' were the supernatural enemies of [[Jaddeth]] in the doctrine of the [[Derethi]] religion,{{ref|b|Elantris|c|6}} half ghost, and half demon.{{
== Shu-Dereth ==
The Svrakiss were the souls of men barred from entrance into heaven for hating Jaddeth in life,{{ref|b|Elantris|c|6}} and so were condemned to wander [[Sel]], bitterly cursing their fate and preying on the living.{{
== History ==
The Svrakiss were initally a [[Svorden|Svordish]] concept that was adopted by the Derethi.{{
When [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] fell, the Derethi claimed that the [[Elantrians]] had really been Svrakiss all along, using their evil powers to perform magic to make the weak-minded worship them.{{ref|b|elantris|c|6}} This was not a belief shared by the [[Shu-Korath|Korathi]] priests.{{ref|b|Elantris|c|17}} [[Hrathen]] and [[Dilaf]] used this excuse to attempt to turn the [[Arelish]] against the Elantrians,{{ref|b|Elantris|c|18}} although Hrathen did not genuinely believe that they Elantrians were Svrakiss.{{ref|b|Elantris|c|6}}
