| + | '''Hoed''' are [[Elantrians]], after the [[Reod]], found it too hard to live after sustaining too many injuries. Since Elantrians are immortal, when the pain becomes too much, they can only lie on the ground, barely coherent, muttering broken phrases, for all time. |

| − | The '''Hoed''' are a group of post-[[Reod]] [[Elantrian]]s that have accumulated so many injuries that they become effectively comatose from the pain.{{book ref|Elantris|4}} |
||
| + | Hoed can be relieved from their pain if they are taken to a nearby [[Shardpool]], which vaporizes their bodies. |
||
| − | == Post-Reod == |
||
| − | After the Reod, the Elantrian people stopped healing, so any injuries, however minor, remained indefinitely as painful as the moment they were received. Since the Elantrians were still immortal, some sank beneath the weight of their pain, losing their minds. Many have a phrase or words that they repeat over and over.{{book ref|Elantris|4}} |

| − | === Old Elantris === |
||
| − | Before [[Raoden]] helped create [[Elantris (city)|New Elantris]], the Hoed made up the majority of the immediately visible Elantrians. They, like the rest of Elantris, were dirty and uncaring. For the most part, they were ignored. |

|
| − | Raoden collected the Hoed together in a building in New Elantris, which they called the Hall of the Fallen,{{book ref|Elantris|25}} where they were cared for.{{book ref|Elantris|19}} Raoden hoped some of the Hoed might surface with care. While this never came to pass, the Hoed in the Hall of the Fallen were noticeably calmer than Hoed on the streets. |

| − | If a Hoed is placed in the [[Devotion's Perpendicularity|Lake]], their body will appear to dissolve.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}{{book ref|Elantris|60}} As the Lake is a [[Perpendicularity]], it likely transfers those placed in it to the [[Cognitive Realm]]. As the Selish Cognitive Realm is incredibly dangerous,{{wob ref|4129}}{{au ref|Sel}} these people are likely then destroyed by the [[Dor]], though at least one pre-Reod Elantrian, [[Riino]], survived.{{wob ref|11822}}{{wob ref|8649}} |

| − | === Restoration === |
||
| − | When the large Aon Rao of Elantris city was completed with the chasm line, the Elantrians were restored to their former glory. Because Raoden and [[Dashe]], who were Hoed, regained their minds, it is assumed that the rest of the Hoed did as well. |
