=== Construction ===
The actual origins of the city are unknown. It was constructed "hundreds of years if not over a thousand years" before the [[Reod]],{{wob ref|4638}} likely before the [[Splinter]]ing of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]].{{wob ref|14651}} The people who built it possessed a keen understanding of [[AonDor]], as the Elantrian Metropolitan Area, comprising Elantris and its four outer cities, forms a massive [[Aon#Rao|Aon Rao]], which acts as a power amplifier for the Elantrians. Its builders were themselves Elantrians, as only they would have been able to make the Aons formed by the city work.{{wob ref|2230}}
=== The Restoration of Elantris ===
During the events of the Invasion of Arelon by [[Dakhor]] monks, Raoden was critically injured and became one of the Hoed. Galladon and Karata, keeping a promise they had made to Raoden, brought him to the lake in order to end his suffering. On the way, Raoden subconsciously noticed that Elantris was itself a broken Aon. After refusing the peace offered by the Lake, he added the Chasm line to the Elantrian Metropolitan District while avoiding capture by the enemy. Karata died protecting him. Once the Chasm line was added, Elantris became a completed Aon and the Elantrians,
Following Raoden's coronation, Elantris was reinstated as the Arelene capital.
The hidden library also held a secret passage to the Lake.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}
