*[[Final Empire]]
}}
! The following part is a rework of the [[Teod]] page. !
'''Teod''' is a peninsula state on the world of [[Sel]].{{map ref|Opelon}}
== Geography ==
It is one of the more southern nations in the northern continent, separate from [[Sycla]] by the [[Sea of Fjorden]].{{map ref|Sycla}}
There are passes that lead to the [[Rose Empire]].{{tes ref|98}}
== Culture ==
The capital of Teod is [[Teoras]], and its ruler is King [[Eventeo]].{{book ref|elantris|17}}
Teod's martial strength exists mainly in the form of its navy, which dominates the northern sea, protecting Teod's borders from the Fjordell Empire.
Unlike the rest of the northern continent, Teod is within Opelon's cultural sphere of influence. For example, the nation's state religion is [[Shu-Korath]], which originated in Opelon. The Teo people are also of [[Aonic]] descent and are therefore related to the [[Arelene]] and [[Dula]] people of Opelon.
The royal crest of the country was a gold [[Aon]] Teo on a blue backround.{{book ref|elantris|38}}
== History ==
After the previous ruler died, [[Eventeo]] took the throne against the rightful line of succession, which would have led his brother [[Kiin]] ascending.{{book ref|elantris|58}}{{wob ref|2194}}
With the rise of the [[Fjordell Empire]] putting pressure on Teod and [[Arelon]], kings Eventeo and [[Iadon]] attempted to strengthen their alliance by marrying their children [[Raoden]] and [[Sarene]]. The deal eventually fell through after Raoden succumbed to the [[Reod]], and some trickery by [[Hrathen]] lead to Eventeo converting to [[Shu-Dereth]].{{expand}}
== Trivia ==
* In the first published edition of ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'', the term "Teoish" was used to describe things originating from the nation of Teod. This was changed in the tenth anniversary edition of ''Elantris'' such that "Teo" is now used as the nation's demonym and adjectival form.
