Although the Ocean of Dreams chooses the next king impartially, the royal family of Elorhe usually has a good idea of who will be chosen. Everyone assumed that it would be Raen. Born in Thaliron, Raen was the only child of the Prophetess Elysin and her husband Brentell (deceased). He was raised beside the Princess Lainnys, three years younger than he, and studied with Gerimon to become the next king of Elorhe. Three years ago, he decided one night to try the Ocean of Dreams on his own. Since then he has been neither seen nor heard from.
