“You seem to know quite a bit, Galladon,” Raoden noted. “And since when has that been a sin?” Galladon said with a huff. “You’ve lived in Kae all your life, sule. Maybe instead of asking why I know these things, you should wonder why you don’t.”

My point exactly! Why is Raoden so ignorant of the recent past of the country in which he lives in and of which he is crown prince?

Raoden is frustrating! He is the prince, the heir, of a country that revolves around Elantris. He was there as a child, he is required as a future ruler to know at least the recent history and everybody around him would have remembered again and again everything about the gods that lived among them until several years before. Then WHY does he need to ask a foreigner things about Elantris every step of the way???
