Elantris 21: Hrathen

Hrathen continues to be useless. He tries to offer the position of head arteth to someone who just refuses. What's the point of a tyrannical hierarchy if people can refuse things? He tries to send Dilaf away on a mission where he will be less annoying, but Dilaf threatens to take half of Hrathen's supporters with him, since it turns out they're Dilaf's supporters, not Hrathen's. There are some fundamentally flawed limitations to this tyrannical hierarchy, it would seem.

Hrathen gives some money to a suspicious looking beggar, possibly to sow seeds of support. He goes to the walls of Elantris, where Omin, the leader of the rival religion, points out that Hrathen appears to be losing his faith.
