Later, Sarene meets him while delivering food to Elantris, but doesn’t recognize him, as he was going by the name Spirit. She meets him again, but he is disguised as a Dula named Kaloo.

At some point after the Dakhor monk’s invasion, Sarene becomes pregnant with Raoden’s child.{{book ref|thoe}}

*[[Shuden]]

*[[Ahan]]
Ahan is fat, arrogant, and impetuous in Sarene’s opinion. She believes he never understands the gravity of the situation he is in, leading to Roial’s death.
*[[Iadon]]

*[[Eventeo]]
Eventeo is Sarene’s father, always trying to make her happy.

In addition, she works with Raoden's group of friends to attempt to change Iadon's system of government.

*[[Lukel]]
▲Hrathen eventually gets to [[Telrii]], a rich nobleman, and promises to place him on the throne if he converts to Shu-Dereth.
