Sarene arrives to speak at Hrathen's funeral. We learn that Raoden has set up court inside Elantris. I am not sure this is the best idea: wouldn't the people prefer the king to be a little closer to them, not some aloof god-like creature? Maybe not. Then we learn that Raoden has arranged for the nobility to distribute food to the poor. This seems a bit socialist to me. Who will produce the food if there is no profit in it? Then again, I suppose the Elantrians can make free food again now. It's a post-scarcity economy and people will mainly be making YouTube videos from now on.
Sarene makes sure everyone knows that without Hrathen's efforts to save Arelon, Teod would have been overrun, Raoden would be dead, and Arelon would have been taken over by Fjordells.
But thanks to Hrathen, everyone lives happily ever after.
