'''Jaador'''
== Culture ==
Since Jaador's
Jaador is the birthplace of a graceful light sword called a [[jedaver]], known as a syre or kmeer in other nations.{{book ref|Elantris|17}} The jedaver proved impractical for combat,{{book ref|Elantris|53}} and was often used by the nobility for dueling.{{book ref|Elantris|17}} It was later modified in [[Duladel]] for use as a fencing weapon,{{book ref|elantris|17}} and Jaadorians are considered to be second only to Dulas in fencing skill.{{book ref|Elantris|50}}
== History ==
▲Jaador was also known for its food, Jaadorian chefs were considered some of the best in the world.{{book ref|elantris|11}} Jaador also exported wine of a blue color.{{book ref|Elantris|32}}
JinDo is noted as being subsumed by the Fjordell Empire around one hundred years before the events of ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'',{{glossary ref|Elantris|J}} but it is not known when Jaador fell. Fjorden appears to have heavy fortifications along its border with Jaador.{{map ref|Sycla}} The Fjorden [[gyorn]] [[Hrathen]] claims that Jaadorian citizens would be among those that would form a massive Fjordell army at [[Wyrn]] [[Wulfden]]'s command, although he knows that this is unlikely due to the power of the Derethi [[Shu-Dereth#Monasteries|monasteries]].{{book ref|elantris|15}}
== Investiture ==
{{theory}}
[[Sel]] has a "multitude" of magic systems that are powered by [[Investiture]] from the [[Dor]].{{au ref|Sel}} These magic systems (such as [[AonDor]] and [[Forgery]]) are dependent on physical location,{{au ref|Sel}} along with heritage and birth location.{{book ref|elantris|1}}{{wob ref|8516}} Although Jaador's origins are unknown, the fact that its residents are ethnically JinDo and the proximity of the two nations may hint that some Jaadorians would be able to use the power of [[ChayShan]].
== Trivia ==
* Early editions of ''Elantris'' included maps that showed Jaador in a slightly different orientation on the continent;<ref>[[:File:Arelon.jpg|Map of Arelon (original)]]</ref>{{map ref|Opelon}} these maps were superseded by revised versions in the tenth anniversary edition.
