Elantris 46: Raoden

Raoden and Sarene make idle chit-chat while Raoden practices his Aons and she reads. Hrathen is apparently screaming at his god to heal Elantris, which Sarene finds to be a strange change of heart. Presumably this is part of the theatre to convice people that he was the one who healed Sarene.

Raoden and Sarene discuss the main important mystery: why the Elantrian magic stopped working. If they could solve that and fix things all the other problems will go away, since Elantrian magic beats Fjordell might every time. Sarene hits on the notion that Aons look a bit like a map of Arelon. This comes as a complete revelation to Raoden and Galladon. Maybe they're just drawing the Aons wrong now that the land has changed shape or something like that.

Probably the Elantrian computer systems just downloaded an auto update and the shell has changed from Bash to Dash and it's broken a bunch of scripts. That happened to me once.

Anyway, Sarene is suddenly healed and they figure out the whole Hrathen poison trick. Raoden immediately takes Sarene to the gates and tells her to return and go and fix Arelon. I'm not sure what the rush is, but ok.
