JinDo is a nation on Sel. It is located on the continent of Opelon, and is part of the Fjordell Empire. It is bordered by Duladel to the north and Jaador to the east.
The JinDo people have dark brown skin and fine features.[1] Jaadorians are ethnically JinDo,[1] while Dula peoples are both of JinDo and Aonic heritage.[2] The people of MaiPon, part of the Rose Empire, are distantly related to the JinDo.
Culture
As followers of Shu-Keseg, the JinDo people follow the principle of acceptance. When the Fjordell Empire began to expand, the JinDo people decided to submit to Fjordell rule and outwardly convert to Shu-Dereth in order to avoid fighting.[3]
The work of prestigious JinDo philosophers, mathematicians[4], and artists[5] are well-known internationally. Shu-Dereth, the official religion of the Fjordell Empire, has its origins in JinDo, as is the Shu-Korath religion dominating Teod and Arelon.

Notable JinDo People
- Keshu, also known as Keseg: Founder of the Shu-Keseg religion, from which Shu-Dereth and Shu-Korath branched off.
- Atsuko: A JinDo artist who once visited the Rose Empire.[5]

Trivia
- In the first published edition of Elantris as well as in The Emperor's Soul, the term Jindoeese was used to describe things originating from the nation of Jindo. This was changed in the tenth anniversary edition of Elantris such that JinDo is now used as the nation's name, demonym, and adjectival form.
