The main populated continent on Sel is called Opelon by those in the west{{book ref|Elantris|1}} and Sycla by those in the east{{book ref|Elantris|3}}. There are two major powers on Opelon: Arelon and the Fjordell Empire. The capital of Arelon is the city of Elantris, which is a monarchy, ruled by the [[Elantrian]] King [[Raoden]]. Under the king, there is a class of nobles, who control various plantations throughout Arelon. Their primary function is to distribute food to the people of Arelon. Arelon controlls the area to the west of the Atad Mountains, and south of the northern ocean. Arelon is mainly made up of followers of the [[Shu-Korath]] religion, although there are still remnants of the old pagan religion that worshiped the Elantrians. There is also a small number of followers of the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]].

All of the other nations on Opelon have been subsumed into the [[Fjordell Empire]]. The empire is ruled by a leader known as [[Wyrn]], who is also head of [[Shu-Dereth]], which has been used as a vehicle to dominate nations. The Fjordell Empire is, on the surface, completely Derethi. However, many of the people of the empire, especially those in back-country areas like Hrovell, still secretly follow their old religions, like the Jeskeri Mysteries.

Anyone can learn to draw Aons, but they only have power when created by an Elantrian. AonDor is tied to the land of Arelon and is only practiced within its borders. Aons work elsewhere but become weaker with distance from Arelon.

* [[ChayShan]] is not explored much in ''Elantris'', however it seems to consist of a type of meditative martial art, with the forms one moves through granting access to the Dor. It appears that, like Aons, these forms can be practiced, potentially by anyone, without supernatural effect{{book ref|Elantris|17}}, with additional factors such as intent or bloodline establishing the connection to the Dor.

* [[Dakhor]] is even less well understood than ChayShan, without even a concrete name. It is currently referred to as Dakhor because its only known practitioners are members of [[Dakhor Monastery]]. What is known is that its use alters the bones of the user, causing them to twist and form patterns under the skin. These patterns are most likely the 'form' through which this magic is channeled. Dakhor allows access to the Dor{{book ref|Elantris|56}} and has a possible connection to [[Dominion]]. Dakhor requires human sacrifice in several of its uses.

* [[Forgery]] involves shaping a specific form, by the carving of a sort of stamp, and then the application of ink to the stamp, and then applying a mark onto the desired object or person. Supposedly the forgery helps the object (or soul) remember a different past, or a likely destiny in order to change the actual essence of the object.

Sel is a Shardworld of the cosmere and is the setting of the books Elantris and The Emperor's Soul.

Sel is inhabited by humans and artificially created beings called Seons and Skaze. This Shardworld is a relatively large planet, being 1.5 times the size of the cosmere standard, and contains diverse landscapes home to multiple great civilizations including at least two empires. Gravity on the planet is 1.2 times that of the Cosmere standard. [1]

People from Sel are called Selish.[2]

Astronomy

The location of the planet Sel within the larger Cosmere is as-yet unknown, though it is known to orbit a yellow star named Mashe while in turn being orbited by a single moon named Oem. Its size is 1.5 cosmere standard and its gravity is 1.2 cosmere standard [1].

Geography and Culture

Opelon

The story of Elantris (book) is set on a continent on Sel that is called Opelon by those in the west[3] and Sycla by those in the east[4]. Opelon is dominated by the Fjordell Empire, with Arelon being the only remaining independent nation on the continent. The capital of Arelon is the city of Elantris (city), which is a monarchy ruled by the Elantrian King Raoden. Under the king, there is a class of nobles who control various plantations throughout Arelon. Their primary function is to distribute food to the people of Arelon. Arelon controls the area to the west of the Atad Mountains, and south of the northern ocean. Arelon is mainly made up of followers of the Shu-Korath religion, although there are still remnants of the old pagan religion that worshiped the Elantrians. There is also a small number of followers of the Jeskeri Mysteries.

All of the other nations on Opelon have been subsumed into the Fjordell Empire. The empire is ruled by a leader known as Wyrn, who is also head of Shu-Dereth, which has been used as a vehicle to dominate nations. The Fjordell Empire is, on the surface, completely Derethi. However, many of the people of the empire, especially those in back-country areas like Hrovell, still secretly follow their old religions, like the Jeskeri Mysteries.

The Fjordell Empire is made up of the following nations:

The Teoish Continent

There is another continent north of Opelon. The nation of Teod is located on a peninsula attached to that continent.[5] The capital of Teod is Teoin, and its ruler is King Eventeo. Teod's martial strength exists mainly in the form of its navy, which dominates the northern sea, protecting its borders from the Fjordell Empire. The Korathi religion is centered in Teod.

Rose Empire

Other than Teod, the continent north of Opelon also contains the Rose Empire[6]. This empire has many provinces, including but not limited to Mulla’dil, MaiPon, Dzhamar, Ukurgi. They have some diplomatic trade with other nations, such as Svorden and Jindo. The empire also maintains a little used pass that leads to Teod.[7] Certain segments of the population seem to have a concept of Realmatic Theory.

A Possible Third Continent

The Cosmere scholar Khriss talks of Sel's "three great domains" that are relatively dismissive of each other. This implies a third yet unknown "great domain" aside from the two empires already mentioned. No other information is known about this third domain, though it is likely on a third continent.[1]

Investiture

Each manifestation of Investiture on Sel use a set of forms to access the Dor.

  • AonDor uses symbols called Aons, which can be drawn directly in the air as glowing light, or in a large variety of physical representations, such as etched into metal plates, or incorporated into the design of buildings. Anyone can learn to draw Aons, but they only have power when created by an Elantrian. AonDor is tied to the land of Arelon and is only practiced within its borders. Aons work elsewhere but become weaker with distance from Arelon.
  • ChayShan is not explored much in Elantris, however it seems to consist of a type of meditative martial art practiced in Jindo, with the forms one moves through granting access to the Dor. It appears that, like Aons, these forms can be practiced by anyone without supernatural effect[8], with additional factors such as intent or bloodline establishing the connection to the Dor.
  • The name for the manifestation of Investiture used by members of the Dakhor Monastery has not yet been revealed, though it is referred to as Dakhor by the fandom after the monastery. Dakhor monks have unnatural and twisted bone structures that form patterns under the skin. These patterns are most likely the 'form' through which they access the Dor.[9]. Some Dakhor magics require human sacrifice.
  • Forton's potions are Invested[10], and is likely the manifestation of Investiture on Hrovell. It is not yet know what forms are used to create these potions.
  • Forgery involves shaping a specific form, by the carving of a sort of stamp, and then the application of ink to the stamp, and then applying a mark onto the desired object or person. Supposedly the forgery helps the object (or soul) remember a different past, or a likely destiny in order to change the actual essence of the object. Many sub-types or are mentioned, such as Soul Forging, Resealing, and Remembering. It is unclear if there are other subtypes.
  • Bloodsealing is very similar to Forgery in that it requires stamps, but rather than using ink, they use fresh blood. It is thought of as abominable and unsettling by most.

Cosmere

The planet is the home of two Shards, Devotion (Aona's Shard) and Dominion (which was held by Skai). At some point in Sel's distant past, Odium killed both Aona and Skai, Splintering the two Shards.[11] Sel is realmatically the most knowledgeable of the known Shardworlds.[12]

Hoid has visited Sel.[13]

While travel to Sel is possible via Shadesmar (the Cognitive Realm), it is "really tough"[14] due to the raging uncontrolled power of the Spintered Shards[15].

Trivia

  • Initially, Brandon had the shadows of Elantris falling on the city of Kae at dawn. As Kae is to the east of Elantris, this indicated that the sun rises in the west on Sel. However, in the Anniversary Edition, this has been identified as an error and corrected.[3]
