Only an [[Elantrian]] can use the [[Aon]]s to draw power from the [[Dor]].{{book ref|Elantris|7}} This means that to use AonDor, a person must originally be of [[Aonic]] descent.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=55|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-55}} The person must then be chosen by the [[Shaod]]. Their skin will glow, their hair will turn white, and they gain the ability to draw Aons that channel the Dor.{{book ref|Elantris|4}}

 

In order to draw a functional Aon, the Elantrian drawing it must intend to do so, or else the glowing lines used to draw the Aon won’t appear.{{book ref|Elantris|7}} Elantrains can use their fingers to draw Aons, with each finger giving the lines different widths. Other objects like a quill or stick can also be used to draw Aons.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} Aons can also be crafted out of other materials by Elantrians, like stone or wire. In this way they can make amulets and the like, that have an actual magical effect.{{book ref|Elantris|19}} Leaving an Aon alone for a short time without completing it will cause them to disappear with no effects.{{book ref|Elantris|46}}

 

Aons can only be destroyed by an Elantrian. Unless destroyed by an Elantrian an Aon will continue to function even if it is scuffed or erased.{{book ref|Elantris|52}} It is possible for AonDor to negate effects granted by [[Dakhor]].{{wob ref|3014}}

 

While Aons are undoubtedly powerful, in order to specify certain traits, like how long a column of fire from an Aon Ehe will last, or where an Aon Tia will take you, additional lines must be drawn around the central Aon to modify its effects.{{book ref|Elantris|19}}{{book ref|Elantris|25}}

 

*Linking Aons - used to link subsections of Aon lists together, it controls the timing of when other Aons take effect.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}{{wob ref|7594}}

*Setting off different chains of Aons.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}

*Modifying the range of Aons.{{book ref|Elantris|34}}

 

In extremely advanced uses of AonDor, multiple Aons can be used in conjunction to modify each other in Aon equations.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=8|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-8}} These are used to channel the Dor in the most specific ways allowed by AonDor. With it, Elantrians could fabricate any object out of nothing, although the sheer skill and practice required makes Elantrians who can do this extremely rare.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=8|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-8}} In addition to its regular effect, it appears that each Aon has a secondary effect that can be used in the Aon equations.

 

AonDor has a specific tie to the land of Arelon.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=55|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-55}} The base Aon Aon is shaped like the land of Arelon, with its lines and dot represent the coast, Atad Mountains, and Lake Alonoe.{{book ref|Elantris|46}} Every Aon reflects some trait of the land, such as the Dii, the Aon for wood, contain circles where the forests of Arelon fall.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} This is a very fluid relationship; as the land changes so do the Aons. When an earthquake created the Chasm, a new line was required in every Aon to make it functional.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} AonDor's power will diminish the further an Elantrian travels from the city of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]].{{wob ref|8617}}

 

It is possible to create another city similar to Elantris in other locations on Sel.{{wob ref|254}} AonDor will not normally work on [[Shardworld]]s other than [[Sel]],{{wob ref|1473}}{{wob ref|6164}} but it is possible to hack the magic system and get it to work on other Shardworlds.{{wob ref|5633}}

 

===The First Elantrians===

King [[Raoshem|Rhashm]] led his people from other lands to Arelon, discovering the city of Elantris completely abandoned. Despite superstition about Elantris being haunted, Rhashm made it his capital. After a few decades, Princess [[Elashe]], one of his descendants, was the first Aonic person to be taken by the Shaod to become an Elantrian.{{wob ref|7592}}

 

For centuries, AonDor functioned fine, Elantrians ruling Arelon from Elantris.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} However, when the earthquake caused the Chasm, the Elantrians became the target of the now malformed Rao that made up Elantris and the Outer Cities. This caused them to become cursed and foul looking, as well as robbing them of their access to the magic system.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} They didn’t know where the new line was, so they couldn’t use the magic. Most were slaughtered mercilessly by the terrified citizenry.{{book ref|Elantris|5}}

 

[[Raoden]] managed to discover what was wrong with the AonDor during his imprisonment in the city, and he repaired the Rao and restored the city to its former glory.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} He, an Elantrian, took his place as king of Arelon, ruling from the city of Elantris.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
