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}}

After the fall of Elantris, there were violent attacks on the weakened Elantrians and almost all the high-ranking people who had anything to do with them.{{book ref|Elantris|5}} This resulted in a monarchy under the rule of Iadon. Yet people continued to be taken by the shaod. Those stricken with the Shaod were treated as dead (complete with burial wrappings and a funeral offering of food) and exiled to Elantris, where they would accumulate eternally painful injuries until they succumbed to the pain. The city itself rapidly deteriorierted without the energy of the Dor.{{book ref|Elantris|1}}
[[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.

▲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 Elantris, which are based upon the landscape of Arelon, were no longer accurate. This caused all Aons to cease functioning, reducing the [[Elantrian]]s to ugly, half dead things. It was seen by Shu-Keseg and Shu-Dereth as a curse upon the Elantrians for their pagan ways.
