▲The '''Hoed''' wereare a group of post-[[Reod]] [[Elantrian]]s that hadhave accumulated so many injuries that they werebecome effectively comatose from the pain.{{book ref|b|e|cElantris|4}}
 
== Post-Reod ==
After the [[Reod]], the Elantrian people stopped self-healing and, so any injuries, however minor, neverremained stoppedindefinitely causingas thempainful painas the moment they were received. Since the Elantrians stayedwere still immortal, some sank beneath the weight of the their pain, loosinglosing their mind,minds. stayingMany mostlyhave ata thephrase sameor placewords andthat athey lotrepeat ofover themand always mumbled their own mantraover.{{book ref|b|e|cElantris|4}}
 
=== Old Elantris ===
[[Raoden]] looked for them and brought them to a house, which they called the Hall of the Fallen,{{ref|b|e|c|25}} where they were cared for.{{ref|b|e|c|19}} Raoden, too, was not immune to it.
Before [[Raoden]] helped create [[Elantris (city)|New Elantris]], the Hoed made up the majority of the immediately visible Elantrians. They, like the rest of Elantris, were dirty and uncaring. For the most part, they were ignored.
 
=== New Elantris ===
{{quote|"Failed …" Raoden whispered. "Failed my love …" The mantra of the fallen; Raoden had joined the Hoed.|{{ref|b|e|c|60}}}}
Raoden collected the Hoed together in a building in New Elantris, which they called the Hall of the Fallen,{{book ref|Elantris|25}} where they were cared for.{{book ref|Elantris|19}} Raoden hoped some of the Hoed might surface with care. While this never came to pass, the Hoed in the Hall of the Fallen were noticeably calmer than Hoed on the streets.
 
== Reversal ==
The Hoed could be relieved from their pain by being taken to [[Aona]]s [[Shardpool]] which vaporized their bodies.{{ref|b|e|c|25}}{{ref|b|e|c|60}}
If a Hoed is placed in the [[Devotion's Perpendicularity|Lake]], their body will appear to dissolve.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}{{book ref|Elantris|60}} As the Lake is a [[Perpendicularity]], it likely transfers those placed in it to the [[Cognitive Realm]]. As the Selish Cognitive Realm is incredibly dangerous,{{wob ref|4129}}{{au ref|Sel}} these people are likely then destroyed by the [[Dor]], though at least one pre-Reod Elantrian, [[Riino]], survived.{{wob ref|11822}}{{wob ref|8649}}
 
=== Restoration ===
It is not stated what happens to them when the Aon is remade.
When the large Aon Rao of Elantris city was completed with the chasm line, the Elantrians were restored to their former glory. Because Raoden and [[Dashe]], who were Hoed, regained their minds, it is assumed that the rest of the Hoed did as well.
 
== Trivia ==
The word "Hoed" is based off the Aon "[[Aon#Oed|Oed]]".{{wob ref|10406}}
