{{anchor|J}}

;Ja: (F) The Vulgar version of 'Jaddeth,' God of the Derethi religion.

;Jaadorian: (F) A word to describe someone or something from Jaador.

;Jaddeth: (F) The historical Fjordell god of the underworld. Upon Wulfden the First's adoption of Shu-Dereth as the official state religion, Jaddeth was adapted to become the official god of the religion. Hold-overs from the ancient pantheistic Jaddeth still exist, however, such as the tradition that Jaddeth's Kingdom lies beneath the earth, not in the heavens.

{{gld|Jesker|(D) The Duladen religion. It is the oldest theological system still practiced in the modern world. Historically, Jesker is a peaceful religion suited to the Duladen light-hearted lifestyle. It teaches that all men must bring themselves in harmony with the 'Dor,' thereby living in harmony with nature. The Jeskeri Mysteries have taken many precepts from Jesker and, according to strict Jesker believers, vulgarized them into a horrid approximation of the religion's true teachings. (See also 'Dor,' 'Jeskeri Mysteries.'}}

{{gld|Jeskeri Mysteries|(D) A descendant of the original Jesker religion, the Mysteries combine traditional Jesker beliefs with new tenets. While Jesker teaches one to bring oneself in harmony with the Dor, the Mysteries teach that the better way is to try and influence the Dor—or fate—in one's favor. Through secret rites focusing on the creation and destruction of life, Jeskeri followers believe they can bring good fortune to themselves or downfall to their enemies. Because many of these rites involve fertility rites, sexual practices, and live sacrifices, most people fear or hate Jeskeri. The religion is most hated by the country where it found birth—Duladen. Despite its unpopular practices, the Mysteries continue to be a force in most nations. Many monarchs have tried, unsuccessfully, to stamp the religion out. Popular times for Jeskeri rites are during times of celestial import—such as the full moon or eclipses. Some Jeskeri sects are known to practice human sacrifice, but these are quickly stamped out when monarchs learn of them.}}

;Shaod: (A) 'The transformation.' This is the name for the mystical event that changes a regular person into an Elantrian. The Shaod takes only minutes, and it is irreversible.
