S1E12 - Elantris ch. 34-36: ah-RAY-Lone? Screw this

Content warning for this episode! A character commits suicide and other characters casually joke about it. It's bad. Also the running joke about marital rape rears its head.

We change our mind. Raoden IS a colonizer. In the Sarene chapter, Raoden gets bored and offs a character as soon as he becomes interesting. And of course Hrathen is an absolute king. Just walking around doing king shit all the time.

Also we find... a dark secret hidden on Brandon's website and plan a patron bonus episode once we finish this book. So look forward to that at the end of the episode...
