== Government ==
=== Monarchy ===
Teod is a monarchy, with the current king being [[Eventeo]]. It appears that theEventeo kingand hasperhaps his wife have absolute power. While the king does hold court, it seems that at least some of the ruling is done by ministers.{{book ref|Elantris|17}}{{book ref|Elantris|2}} The royal crest of the country is a gold [[Aon]] Teo on a blue backround.{{book ref|elantris|38}}
 
After the death of the monarch the crown is supposed to pass to his eldest child, although this doesn’t always happen, instead a different child may assume the throne if the eldest one isn’t in Teod.{{book ref|Elantris|58}} The current Crown Prince of [[Teod]] is called [[Teorn]].{{glossary ref|Elantris|T}}
 
=== Military ===
Teod's martial strength exists mainly in the form of its navy, which dominates the northern sea, protecting Teod's borders from other nations, mainly the Fjordell Empire. This navy also played a large role in the [[Battle of Teoras]], defending Teod from Fjordell invaders. The country has little to no ground forces, this makes it very hard for Teod to invade another nation.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}{{book ref|Elantris|61}}
 
The Teo, or at least the ones who are pure [[Aonic]], can become [[Elantrian]]s.{{book ref|Elantris|19}} This [[Shaod|Transformation]] grants them a whole host of abilities and enhancements. The Elantrians are supernaturally strong and fast, and are extremely quick of mind. Their main advantage however, is the use of [[AonDor]]. Even though the Elantrians aren’t an official part of the Teo military, they are allies of Teod and will come to their aid when needed.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
 
=== Language and Script ===
The Teo speak a language called Aonic, this language was originally based on the [[AonsAon]]s, although it has evolveddrifted away from them. The Aons were also formedthe base for a logographic alphabet used in Arelon and Teod until the development of a phonetic alphabet, which they still use.{{glossary ref|Elantris|A}}
 
Teod also has a number of academies, one of which is owned by their king, [[Eventeo]]. The lecturers at some of these academies are very skilled at saying nothing with a lot of words.{{book ref|Elantris|2}}
