The '''''Do-Kando'''''
==Contents==
It is among the earliest extant pieces of Selish literature, thought to be preceded only by ''[[Wyrn the King]]''.{{book ref|Elantris|43}} The book consists of the teachings of the [[JinDo]] religious philosopher [[Keseg]] (also known as Keshu or KeHwo), as recorded by his two primary disciples, [[Dereth]] and [[Korath]].{{glossary ref|elantris|K}} Keseg drew from the traditional JinDo value of unity and applied the concepts of a single, omnipotent god and an organized ministry.{{glossary ref|elantris|K}} Keseg's work was considered revolutionary even though his primary intent was to clarify existing JinDo beliefs.{{glossary ref|elantris|K}}
==Legacy==
[[Dereth]] and [[Korath]] interpreted Keseg's teachings differently{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=18|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-18}} and wrote their own holy books, the ''[[Do-Dereth]]'' and the ''[[Do-Korath]]''. These books remain the basis for the two religions most commonly practiced in modern [[Opelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|18}}{{book ref|Elantris|41}} The [[Shu-Dereth|Derethi]] still use the ''Do-Kando'' to some extent alongside the ''Do-Dereth''.{{book ref|Elantris|3}}
While explaining his supposed conversion to Shu-Dereth to [[Hrathen]], [[Dilaf]] claimed that a Derethi [[arteth]] gave him a copy of both the ''Do-Kando'' and the ''Do-Dereth'' and that he read them in one night.{{book ref|Elantris|3}}
==Trivia==
*In the original printings of ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'', this book was referred to as the ''Do-Keseg''.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} This was changed to ''Do-Kando'' in the Tenth Anniversary edition of ''Elantris''.
