The Reod was a massive earthquake that created an enormous [[chasm]] in the south of [[Arelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|1}} 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.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} This caused all Aons to cease functioning, including the massive Aon Rao created by the city of Elantris and its surrounding cities, reducingpreventing the Elantrians tofrom accessing ugly[[Investiture]], half-dead things and theafflicting citythem towith aan rotting,[[Shaod#Incomplete_Shaod|incomplete grime coveredShaod]] ruintransformation.

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}}
