Difference between revisions of "Elantrian"

The [[Reod]] has many effects (mostly bad ones) on Elantrians, possibly due to the dysfunction of the massive Aon Rao of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] city. Their silvery skin turns grey and is covered in dark splotches and their white hair falls out, along with other less readily apparent changes, such as their hearts ceasing to beat, breathing and eating are no longer needed, bleeding no longer happens, and their wounds refusing to heal.{{wob ref|1942}} Some functions of the body like muscles and blood flow continue,{{wob ref|8079}} and sleep and brain functions continues to work very similarly to the way it did before.{{wob ref|2200}} Although unable to heal, a Reod Elantrian can only be killed by decapitation or burning, while hunger or most fatal wounds will fail to kill them since the Dor will keep their bodies functioning. Other attempts to kill them will build up pain that never decreases, and can finally result in making them a [[Hoed]], leaving them filled with pain and unable to do anything other than moaningmoan.
