The events of Elantris take place predominantly in the country of [[Arelon]] from three separate points of view: Prince [[Raoden]], Princess [[Sarene]] and [[Gyorn]] [[Hrathen]]. Raoden is the crown prince of Arelon and is first in line to inherit the throne from his father, King [[Iadon]]. He is engaged to Princess Sarene of neighbouring [[Teod]] with the hope that their marriage will strengthen ties between their countries in the face of external aggression from the [[Fjorden|Fjorden Empire]] from which Hrathen hails.
 
Raoden wakes up one day to find that he has been taken by the [[Shaod]]. He is thrown into the city of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] where he befriends [[Galladon]], a fellow [[Elantrian]] who is originally from [[Duladel|Duladen]]. GalladenGalladon describes the terrible lives than Elantrians live but Raoden believes that there must be a better way. He starts a new, more optimistic, society to help newcomers to Elantris. In the process he converts [[Karata]] and [[Taan]], two Elantrian gang leaders to his cause. The third gang leader, [[Shaor]], proves to be more difficult and his men's constant attacks are barely held off by the New Elantrians.
 
Meanwhile Sarene arrives in Arelon to find the country in mourning for Prince Raoden. Under the conditions of their wedding contract, she must stay in Arelon but is suspicious of the circumstances surrounding his death. With no husband, Sarene throws herself into Arelish political life only to find King Iadon expects her to stay out of such matters. Sarene quickly allies herself to a group of nobles, including her uncle [[Kiin]], who are dissatisfied with the king's leadership. Together they scheme to overthrow him.
 
=== Part Two: The Call of Elantris ===
After several attempts, Raoden eventually convinces Shaor's gang to join New Elantris. He also finds a mysterious pool where the nearly immortal Elantrians can go to die permanently. Over a number of days, the New Elantrians observe Hrathen being locked into Elantris, being "healed" of the Shaod and subsequently released.
 
Outside Elantris, Sarene, noticing strange behaviour from Iadon, follows him when he disappears early from a ball. She is horrified to find Iadon ritually sacrificing his palace staff in observance of the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]]. He is arrested, but hangs himself in jail.
Claiming his recovery from the Shaod was due to his devotion to Shu-Dereth, Hrathen regains the upper hand over Dilaf. He is also pleased at the death of Iadon as this gives Telrii a clear path to the throne. Realising this, Sarene plans to marry Duke Roial because, together, they have a more legitimate claim to the throne than Telrii does. However on the day of the wedding Sarene appears to be struck by the Shaod, though in reality it is another dose of Hrathen's potion. Without Sarene, Roial's claim to the throne vanishes and Telrii is crowned king of Arelon.
 
Once in Elantris, Sarene spends a lot of time with Raoden, though she does not realise who he is. Together, they manage to work out what is wrong with [[AonDor]], which has not worked for the past ten years. However, even with the addition of the chasm line to the Aons[[Aon]]s, AonDor does not seem as strong as it should.
 
Sarene rapidly heals from the shaod, as Hrathen did, and reunites with Roial, Kiin and the rest of the nobles. They decide to assassinate Telrii for the good of the country when one of their number betrays them. Telrii, with a number of guards, turns up to their meeting and orders Roial killed. Later in the evening, Eondel kills Telrii in revenge, leaving Hrathen's plans in ruins once again.
 
=== Part Three: The Spirit of Elantris ===
Tensions rise as a detachment of fifty Elantric City Guards gallop towards Kiin's house, with Sarene and her friends convinced the guards will attempt to arrest them for treason against the king. Instead, they request that Raoden become their new king. Within the hour his coronation commences. However, Dilaf dispels the illusion Raoden has been keeping up to appear human. The nobles don't appear as shocked as Dilaf would have hoped. In their apathy they merely appear dejected, until Sarene rallies them behind the idea that Raoden is still the man who loved them before his exile.
 
Dilaf stalks angrily from the palace, lassoing Hrathen into stalking the ardent. Following him to the market district, Hrathen witnesses the [[Dakhor]] monks burst from the tents. Asleep in Roial's mansion, Raoden awakens to a disturbance and goes downstairs find Dilaf, who knocks him unconscious. Sarene is caught up in the Dakhor monks' attack when her carriage is assaulted on the way back from Elantris. Fortunately, she is saved by Kiin and Lukel, takingwho take her back to Kiin's manor and barricadingbarricade themselves in. Dragging Raoden to the manor, Dilaf uses him to capture Sarene. Done with his bait, Dilaf runs Raoden through with his sword and takes Sarene and Hrathen to Teod.
 
Emerging from their hiding place, Galladon and Karata approach Raoden to find the Hoed remnants of a man who was once their friend. Galladon is determined to give Raoden peace atin the embrace of the pool atop the mountain.; Hehe will then also give himself the same peace. Karata only acquiesces. While Galladon and Karata carry Raoden totowards oblivion, Lukel and the other captives are being marched to the pyres built for them within Elantris. As a revelation assaults Raoden's mind he struggles to regain control of his body. Startling Galladon and Karata he dashes back down the mountain to Kae, grabs a stick and draws out the chasm line in the ground. It explodes with the power of the [[Dor]] as he completes it, revealing Elantris and its surrounding cities to be one massive Aon Rao.
 
As these events take place, Shuden and Lukel lead a fight against their captors, and Dilaf moves to crush Teod. Hrathen overhears Dilaf musing to Sarene that he is going to kill her in front of her father, motivating Hrathen to warn Eventeo of the Fjordell invasion and attack Dilaf. Fighting off the other monks, Hrathen escapes with Sarene. Lukel and the others are beaten but hope is restored with Raoden's intervention. Elantris and AreleneArelon are secure but [[Ashe]] appears with grave news of Teod.
 
Hrathen is assassinated in the streets of Teod. Aided by a now lucid [[Adien]], Raoden teleports to Teod to save Sarene from Dilaf. Galladon and the other Elantrians arrive in time to save Raoden and Sarene, fighting off more than fifty Dakhor monks with the DorAonDor. Seeing Dilaf chase after Eventeo, Raoden pursues only to walk into Dilaf's ambush. Hrathen makes a miraculous appearance during the fight, revealing his partial-Dakhor secret, thatwhich he uses to kill Dilaf before succumbing to his own wounds.
 
With the war over and Teod managing to hold back the Fjordell army, Sarene has one thing left on her mind: marrying Raoden. She is not about to let him out of her sight this time, marching him down the aisle where they are married. A week after their marriage a great funeral is arranged for the people that died during the invasion of Arelon, Elantris, and Teod. Sarene speaks for Hrathen, asking all to remember him as the savioursavior who put what was right before his own ambitions.
