== History ==
=== Duladel Republic ===
The Duladel Republic was one of the major nations on Opelon during the time before the Reod. It was ruled by a group of citizens known as the Republican class. The members of the Republican class were elected by the Dula people.{{book ref|b|Elantris|c|16}} The aristocratic segment of the population was fond of garish clothing.{{book ref|b|Elantris|c|25}} The state religion of the Republic was [[Jesker]] which worshiped the [[Dor]] as a sort of overspirit.
 
=== Occupation by the Fjordell Empire ===
About six months prior to the restoration of Elantris the Duladel Republic collapsed. During a chaotic period a contingent of Derethi priests, led by the gyorn [[Hrathen]]{{book ref|b|Elantris|c|6}}, fomented a revolution. The Duladel Revolution was described as being even more violent than the Arelish Revolution following the Fall of Elantris; the Republican Class was killed in its entirety. A monarchy was then instituted and [[Shu-Dereth]] replaced [[Jesker]] as the state religion. Its collapse prompted the marriage of Prince [[Raoden]] of Arelon and Princess [[Sarene]] of Teod,{{book ref|b|Elantris|c|16}} as those two nations were the only two non-Derethi nations left.
