Difference between revisions of "The Hope of Elantris"

After Elantris' restoration [[Raoden]] sits alone in his palace noting the city's new found wealth. [[Aon Ashe|Ashe]], [[Sarene]]'s Seon, floats in through an open window to inform Raoden his wife will not be attending their dinner, that she is pregnant and "it's his fault." Raoden settles in to listening to Ashe's testament to his whereabouts during the last hours before Elantris' restoration.

Everyone has a role in New Elantris; [[Matisse]] looks after the children of the Roost but on this night they cannot find the will to sleep. Outside, many of the adults have begun drawing [[AonsAon]]s. Matisse ushers the children to bed with threats of doing more school work if they wanted to stay up. As Matisse observes many of the adults outside surrounding [[Galladon]], Idotris claims Aons are useless before Matisse leaves the Roost. Searching out her adoptive father, [[Dashe]], he explains to her that Galladon is having the Elantrians practice Aons in the new form that he and Raoden discovered in [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] - adding the chasm line.
