== History ==

Kiin was the older brother of [[Eventeo]]{{book ref|Elantris|5}} and rightful king of [[Teod]]. He ought to have inherited the throne, but he gave his time as a youth to pleasure voyages and exploration, visiting foreign ports while Eventeo stayed at court and helped his father rule the kingdom during his bouts of sickness. Because some minor crisis happened to occur at the same time as their father's death, Eventeo found himself filling the role of king and was crowned while Kiin was away on a trip. When he returned, he furiously demanded the crown back. Eventeo refused, and banished Kiin.{{book ref|Elantris|58}}{{wob ref|2194}}
