By the Time of Iadon's death, Telrii had become the second richest man in Arleon through FjordianHrathen's financial aid, and would there by become the next kingKing. To prevent this, Princess Sarene and Duke Roial wanted to marry in order to unite their fortunes and surpass Telrii's own. But their plan was foiled by Hrathen, who administered a poison to Sarene that mimicked the effects of the Shaod. Thus Sarene was broughttossed tointo Elantris and Telrii became kingKing of Arleon.
 
However upon taking the throne, Telrii decided to renege on the deal with Hrathen, refusing to officially convert to Shu-Dereth unless made into a gyorn; otherwise he would be under the whims of any Derethi priest, and he knew a gyorn would be considered higher than even a monarch.{{book ref|Elantris|48}} At that time Count [[Ahan]] made Telrii an offer to betray his fellow conspirators. Telrii led his soldiers to Kiin's house and planned to kill everyone inside, even though he had promised Ahan that he would only imprison them. The soldiers killed [[Roial]], but then Raoden, who was believed dead, intervened and caused Telrii and his men to flee.
