== Becoming a Elantrian ==
A person can become an Elantrian by being taken by the [[Shaod]]. The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens at night.{{wob ref|8409}} The people it chooses are seemingly random (though not completely){{wob ref|13071}} and may be from any age or class in society.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} The Shaod only takes people from [[Arelon]] or [[Teod]], and occasionally [[Duladel]].{{book ref|Elantris|19}} It is suspected that this is due to [[AonDor]]'s close [[Connection]] with Arelon and its geography in general.{{wob ref|411}} A person needs to have some genetic ties to Arelon and be in Arelon to be taken by the Shaod.{{
There is an upper limit to the number of Elantrians there can be at a given time.{{wob ref|8617}} There are ways to reverse to Shaod.{{wob ref|9891}}
== During the Reod ==
[[File: Hopeless of Elantris.png|thumb|right|Elantrians suffering during the Reod<br><small>by [[Coppermind: Artists/LittleGreyDragon|LittleGreyDragon]] </small>]]
The [[Reod]] has many effects (mostly bad ones) on Elantrians, possibly due to the dysfunction of the massive Aon Rao of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] city. Their silvery skin turns grey and is covered in dark splotches and their white hair falls out, along with other less readily apparent changes, such as their hearts ceasing to beat, breathing and eating are no longer needed, bleeding no longer happens, and their wounds refusing to heal.{{
A Reod Elantrain has limited access to AonDor and cannot produce very powerful effects with it.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} There is a similar relationship between a Reod Elantrian and a dead [[spren]].{{wob ref|4392}}{{wob ref|5716}} A Reod Elantrian can be effected by emotional [[Allomancy]]{{wob ref|1364}} and it is easier to [[Iron|pull]] metal out of them compared to a normal human.{{wob ref|1365}}
