| − | '''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. |
||
| + | '''Jindo''' was a nation on [[Sel]]. People and things from Jindo are called '''Jindoeese'''. The Jindoeese people had dark brown skin and fine features.{{ref|bws|/Elantris/page/36/ELANTRIS-Glossary|Elantris Glossary}} [[Jaador|Jaadorians]] were also ethnically Jindo,{{ref|bws|/Elantris/page/36/ELANTRIS-Glossary|Elantris Glossary}} and [[Duladel|Dula]] peoples were half Jindo and half Aonic.{{ref|b|e|c|19}} [[Keshu]], also known as Keseg and the creator of [[Shu-Keseg]], hailed from Jindo. |

| + | It is currently a part of the [[Fjordell Empire]]. It was the only other eastern nation besides [[Svorden]] to retain its own language.{{ref|bws|/Elantris/page/36/ELANTRIS-Glossary|Elantris Glossary}} |

| − | |||
| − | == Culture == |
||
| − | As followers of [[Shu-Keseg]], the JinDo people follow the principle of unity through acceptance, preferring peace and openness above all. 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.{{book ref|Elantris|14}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | The work of prestigious JinDo philosophers, mathematicians{{book ref|Elantris|8}}, and artists{{tes ref|76}} are well-known in other lands. [[Shu-Dereth]], the official religion of the Fjordell Empire, has its origins in JinDo, as does the [[Shu-Korath]] religion prevalent in [[Teod]] and [[Arelon]]. Like the [[Svordish]], the JinDo language has managed to survive Fjordell hegemony, perhaps due to the influence of JinDo culture throughout the empire. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There is a meditative martial art originating from JinDo called [[ChayShan]], which can be used to help people focus their minds. This martial art is also the manifestation of [[Investiture]] in the region. JinDo practitioners of ChayShan can use certain body movements to magically enhance themselves, though this effect appears to be temporary.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} |

| − | The JinDo people are also known for their use of eating utensils called [[MaiPon|MaiPon sticks]], as well as their strict views on health. Obesity is frowned upon, although some JinDo foods are greasy, like [[HaiKo]]. Spicy dishes are common in JinDo cuisine, and the nation is a major exporter of spices like [[RaiDel|RaiDel peppers]].{{book ref|Elantris|5}} |

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. |
