== 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|Elantris|16}} The aristocratic segment of the population was fond of garish clothing.{{book ref|Elantris|25}} The state religion of the Republic was [[Jesker]] which worshiped the [[Dor]] as a sort of overspirit. Although a Duladel-specific magic system has not been introduced, it is possible that one exists.{{wob ref|4804}}
=== 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]], fomented a revolution.{{book ref|Elantris|6}} The Duladel Revolution was described as being even more violent than the Arelene 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. The collapse of Duladel prompted the engagement of Prince [[Raoden]] of Arelon to Princess [[Sarene]] of [[Teod]]; their marriage would signify unity between the two remaining non-Derethi nations south of the [[Rose Empire]].{{book ref|Elantris|16}}

Duladen was the language spoken by the Dula people. It reflected the "laid back, loose culture" of Duladel.{{bws ref|languages-of-Elantris|Languages of Elantris|date=?}}
When [[Sarene]] discovers a group of practitioners of the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]], she notes that many of them wear robes emblazoned with "Duladen runes".{{book ref|Elantris|32}}
