The people it chooses are seemingly random and may be from any class in society.{{ref|b|e|p}} One of the many oddities of the Shaod is that it only takes people from [[Arelon]] or [[Teod]]. It is suspected, but not confirmed, that this is due to [[AonDor]]'s close connection with Arelon and its geography in general. |

||
⚫ | During the events of ''[[Elantris]]'', the Shaod could not complete itself, due to discrepancies between [[Aon#Rao|Aon Rao]] shape of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] and the surrounding cities as compared to the geography of Arelon as a result of the [[Reod]]. The incomplete transformation rendered their bodies unable to heal. It was therefore considered a curse to be struck with the Shaod. Those stricken with the Shaod were exiled to Elantris, where they would slowly accumulate a large number of injuries. When [[Raoden]] added the chasm line to the Aon Rao, the [[AonDor|Dor]] was suddenly able to complete the transformation of those stricken by the Shaod, transforming them into full Elantrians. |
||
− | During the time that the Shaod was unable to complete itself, the Shaod caused those affected by it to have grey skin with "sickly black patches" and caused their hair to fall out.{{book ref|Elantris|1}} Their bodies became unable to heal and so continuously accumulated injuries. It is possible to mimic some of the physical characteristics of the failed Shaod ([[Hrathen]] does so through the use of a crafted poison). |
