The '''Dakhor''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Sel]], independent from [[AonDor]].{{
The Dakhor monks themselves are a newer development than [[Elantrian]]s.{{
Its exact mechanics are so far unclear, but will be explored more fully in the [[Elantris sequel]].{{wob ref|4288}}
=== Bone growth ===
The bones of the person accessing Dakhor begin to grow and twist.{{book ref|Elantris|58}} Since the [[Investiture]]s of [[Sel]] are all form based,{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} the shape of the bone twists is what determines what powers a user of Dakhor can access.{{book ref|Elantris|58}} The shapes that they twist into are ancient Fjordell characters.{{book ref|Elantris|63}} Dakhor users appear like twisted figures with arms like knotted tree branches and tight skin pulled over strange ridges.{{book ref|Elantris|57}} Their bones appear as if a piece of metal had been inserted beneath the skin and their skeleton appears twisted and carved.{{book ref|Elantris|58}} While they are abnormal, the Dakhor monks don't seem deformed or inhuman.{{
=== Sacrifices ===
In order to access certain powers of Dakhor, living sacrifices must be made.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} A ritual needs to be preformed before the people can be killed, and Dakhor users cannot just slaughter people immediately.{{
