Every city has a little huddle of buildings for caravaneers and the likes. Also large stormbunkers to house armies or multiple caravans.{{book ref|sa3|45}} many small villages have a central cistern to catch rain water and filter out the crem. Alethi is used widely throughout the eastern world to make the underscript of a book. Also, lots of Alethi epics, which are famous even outside Alethkar.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}
'''Arelon''' was the northwestern-most nation on the continent of [[Opelon]] on the planet [[Sel]].
== Etymology ==
The exact meaning of the name ''Arelon'' is unknown. However it is known that the name stems from [[Aon]] Are, which means ''Unity, Cohesion''. Due to this it is likely that the meaning of the name ''Arelon'' has something to do with Unity and Cohesion.

== Geography and Ecology ==
A slaver must provide the reason someone was sold into slavery when he sells the slave, it is illegal to lie.{{book ref|sa1|4}}

==== Location ====
Arelon lies on the western edge of a continent called [[Opelon]]. Arelon is bordered by the [[Fjorden|Fjordell]] to the east, the [[Duladel|Dula]] to the south east and the [[JinDo]] to the south.
==== Notable Features ====
The country has two major rivers running through it, these being the [[Aredel River]] and the [[Kalomo River]].{{map ref|Sycla}} {{map ref|Arelon}}

Even low altitude much higher then a coinshot can reach.
=== Capital ===
Before the [[Reod]] the capital city of Arelon was Elantris, the magical shining city home to the Elantrians who ruled the nation. After the fall of Elantris the nearby city of [[Kae]] became the capital for a short period of ten years and then after the invasion of Arelon, and the reconstruction of Elantris, New Elantris became the new capital.
== Government ==
Before the Reod, Arelon was ruled by the Elantrians as a theocratic nation{{book ref|Elantris|7}}. They were worshipped as deities by virtue of their magical abilities. Although the Elantrians were regarded as gods by many of the citizenry, other religions existed and were not contested by the Elantrians.{{book ref|Elantris|46}}
After the collapse of Elantris due to the Reod, the wealthiest and most powerful merchants rose up and seized control of the nation.{{book ref|Elantris|6}} The merchants then became the new nobility, the capital city moved from Elantris to one of the surrounding towns, [[Kae]], and the head of the merchants guild [[Iadon]] was crowned as king, the new government ruled that someones nobility was directly tied to their wealth, which lead to the reinstatement of a form of slavery of the peasant class as all the nobles struggled to gain more wealth and so rise in rank.{{book ref|Elantris|8}} In addition to barons, counts, and dukes,{{book ref|elantris|11}} the system also had lesser titles like Kimeon (and its feminine version, Kimess) and Tore.{{glossary ref|Elantris|K}}{{glossary ref|Elantris|T}}{{ref|text=These titles are found only in the ''Elantris'' glossary from [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon's]] website.}} This system of government was incredibly unstable and it is believed that even without the [[invasion of Arelon]] the government would soon have collapsed.
After assuming the throne, King [[Raoden]] made the nobility lords of Elantris and charged them with distributing food and seeing to the needs of remote places.{{book ref|elantris|epilogue}}
{{anchor|Deo}}
The currency used in Arelon is the Deo. It is named after Aon Deo.{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}}
=== Plantations ===
After the [[Reod]] and the Fall of Elantris, King [[Iadon]] established a plantation system in order to control Arelon. Peasants were bound to a plantation in a practice similar to serfdom. Each plantation was named for a different Aon. Due to the competitive nature of Arelene noble status, the peasants were often poorly treated, as the nobles were anxious to retain their titles.{{book ref|elantris|11}}

== Invested Art ==
Some people of [[Aonic]] heritage, residing in Arelon would be struck by a phenomenon known as the [[Shaod]] and would gain the ability to draw [[Aon]]s, which when drawn correctly, could produce a magical effect. These symbols were strongest when used close to the city of Elantris and inside of Arelons borders. Each Aon also resembled some of the landscape of Arelon. The central Aon that was required to draw all others was a basic map of Arelon itself.{{book ref|Elantris|46}}
== Trivia ==
* In the first published edition of ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'', the term "Arelish" was used to describe things originating from the nation of Arelon. This was changed in the tenth anniversary edition of ''Elantris'' such that "Arelene" is now used as the nation's demonym and adjectival form.
