Raoden dreams of being brought to Elantris when he was a child to have healing done on his badly infected broken leg, and of his wounds and pain vanishing, but wakes up to increasing agony from three weeks of accumulated bruises and cuts. Raoden feels his pain in waves rather than a steady constant pain.

 

 

=== Chapter 20 ===

 

Sarene informs Ahan, Roial, Eondel, Shuden and Edan that they need to keep Iadon financially afloat, so that he isn't replaced by someone who is more amenable to a Derethi invasion. They discuss various options including an export arrangement with Teod. Sarene asks the nobles about how their planting is progressing, and they all reply that they are complying reluctantly. This is referring to an earlier plan to allow their serfs full control and pay over a portion of crop planting. Sarene also reveals her plan for her Widow's Trial is to bring food to the Elantrians, and requests the nobles all go with her, to help sway public opinion about the Elantrians, but only Shuden agrees to accompany her, though Roial offers support conditional on her getting Iadon's permission.

 

 

=== Chapter 21 ===
