Elantris 45: Hrathen

Hrathen is wandering the Elantris walls again. He finds the hole but decides not to report it. The Elantrians aren't too much of a worry to him.

Now Telrii is king, his plan is to continue to ply him with money to get him increasingly indebted to Fjorden, thus undermining his power. Sounds plausible, since Telrii is greedy and easily manipulated.

We find out that Hrathen is worried about Sarene and wants her to live. That's a turn up for the books. I was assuming he thought throwing her in Elantris would get rid of her. Why does he want her alive? Her father phones him up and somewhat answers that question. Seems like he is going to pretend to have Jaddeth save her in return for her father, the king of Teod, converting to Shu-Dereth.

So he's going to claim credit for that. Interesting.
