Shortly after, Princess [[Sarene]] of [[Teod]] arrived in Arelon. As Iadon was extremely sexist, he didn't care about her as long as she secured his contract with Teod, and he believed her to be stupid. Sarene, however, was in fact extremly clever and encouraged this in order to manipulate him. When gyron [[Hrathen]] arrived in Arelon, he visited Iadon demanding the king should convert but Iadon dismissed him, stating the [[Fjorden|Fjordell Empire]] had gone under centuries ago. Hrathen started planning Iadon's downfall and tried to bring a king on the Throne more friendly to his cause. Hrathen tried to take advantage of Wealth based Ruling system by supporting Duke [[Telrii]]. If Telrii's income would surpass Iadon's own, Iadon would lose his throne to Telrii. In exchange for the promise to convert once he was King, Hrathen got Telrii extremly profitable deals with Fjorden and used Fjordell ships to sink most of Iadon's trade fleet. So Iadons income and reputation took a heavy dent. Hrathen's plan to depose Iadon failed when Sarene got Iadon a profitable deal with Teod in exchange for the right to give out food in [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]]. After the mad Elantrians atacked Sarene, Iadon tried to use this as an excuse to murder all Elantrians, but Sarene shut his attempt down by publicly lecturing and humiliating him. At the next great feast, Iadon vanished. Sarene searched for Iadon, and she found Iadon naked, covered in blood performing a sacrifice of a young woman for the Jeskeri Mysteries. Iadon's accomplices tried to kill her, but Sarene's allied lords came to her rescue and arrested Iadon.{{book ref|Elantris|32}}
