'''The Chasm''' is a major geographical feature of the [[Arelon]] region of the planet [[Sel]].
The Chasm appeared after an earthquake during the [[Reod]].{{book ref|Elantris|49}}{{book ref|Elantris|61}} Because the chasm changed the landscape of Arelon significantly, it also changed how [[Aon]]s needed to be drawn. An additional line referred to as a "Chasm line" must be added to Aons to make them function.{{book ref|elantris|53}}{{book ref|thoe}}
The chasm was a natural result of the earthquake, but the earthquake itself was unnatural.{{wob ref|9883}} The specific cause of the Reod is unknown. It is unlikely to have been caused by [[Odium]]'s visit to Sel. The Reod occurred about ten years before the restoration of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]], while Odium's visit came far earlier than that (at least several centuries, as [[seon]]s did not exist before Odium appeared).{{wob ref|10094}}
