The '''City of Elantris''' is a city in [[Arelon]] on the continent of [[Opelon]] on [[Sel]]. Prior to the [[Reod]] and following the [[Invasion of Arelon]], it served as the capital of Arelon. It is surrounded by four Gate Cities in each of the cardinal directions, of which [[Kae]] is one. It is accounted as one of the most beautiful cities on Sel, particularly by sculptors, who heaped countless praises on the city's sculptures.{{book ref|Elantris|16}} Its name incorporates [[Aon#Ela|Aon Ela]], which means "center".

=== Capital of Arelon ===

It was during the [[Sel#Middle Era|Middle Era]] on Sel that Elantris's sphere of influence greatly expanded, coinciding with the development of Arelon as a nation-state.{{wob ref|7594}}

 

=== The Reod ===

 

Some Elantrians who had not yet succumbed and become Hoed formed gangs which would steal the funeral offerings of food from new entrants to the city in an effort to satiate their ravenous hunger. At a point ten years following the Reod there were three gangs, led by [[Karata]], [[Aanden]], and [[Shaor]]. Karata's gang resided in the Royal Palace and cared for the children residing in the city.{{book ref|Elantris|13}} Aanden and his followers took residence in the university, using the bindings of its books as a food source. Shaor's followers, a brutal, sub-human horde, worshipped Shaor, who was in reality a capricious, petulant little girl, because she was thrown into Elantris wearing her wig, giving her the appearance of a miraculous being who had retained her hair when all other Elantrians had lost theirs. Shaor's gang's base was in the bank.{{book ref|Elantris|4}}{{book ref|Elantris|22}}

 

=== New Elantris ===

Ten years after the Reod, [[Raoden]], the crown prince of Arelon, was taken by the Shaod and secretly exiled to Elantris. Under the pseudonym "Spirit", he acquired a number of followers while attempting to improve conditions in the city. He and his followers settled in the area around what had once been a Korathi church, and cleaned every surface, even the streets, of the ever-present slime.{{book ref|Elantris|10}} This resettlement eventually came to be known as "New Elantris". Over time, he was able to gain the support of both Karata and Aanden, who returned to his original name of Taan, and most of their supporters.{{book ref|Elantris|13}} He and his followers also made an effort to collect the Hoed from the streets and alleyways and care for them.
