Shaod is a term describing the process of being converted into an Elantrian.
Lore
The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens at night. The people it chooses are seemingly random and may be from any class in society.Error en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenido One of the many oddities of the Shaod is that it only takes people from Arelon or Teod. It is suspected, but not confirmed, that this is due to AonDor's close connection with Arelon and its geography in general.
