The '''Reod''' was an event that occurred on [[Sel]] about ten years prior to the [[Fjordell]] [[invasion of Arelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} The word Reod is based on [[Aon#Reo|Aon Reo]] which means punishment.{{book ref|Elantris|part=ars}}
The Reod was a massive earthquake that created an enormous [[chasm]] in the south of [[Arelon]]. It altered the landscape to the point where the [[Aon]]s used by [[Elantrian]]s, which are based upon the landscape of Arelon, were no longer accurate. This caused all Aons to cease functioning, including the massive Aon Rao created by the city of Elantris and its surrounding cities, preventing the Elantrians from accessing [[Investiture]], and afflicting them with an [[Shaod#Incomplete_Shaod|incomplete Shaod]] transformation. It was seen by [[Shu-Keseg]] and [[Shu-Dereth]] as a curse upon the Elantrians for their pagan ways.
[[Raoden]] is able to reverse or cure the Reod by adding "the chasm line" to the Aon Rao of Elantris, {{book ref|Elantris|61}} which allowed the [[Dor]] to flow properly again through the Aons, restoring the Elantrians and the Aons to their former glory.
