== Reversal ==
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}}
The Hoed can be relieved from their pain by being placed in the [[Devotion's Shardpool|Lake]] which dissolves their bodies, and is one of the only known ways to actually kill an Elantrian.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}{{book ref|Elantris|60}}
 
=== Restoration ===
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]]".{{qawob ref|1034|18|Is the word Hoed based off an Aon and if so which one?|date=Sep 24th, 201310406}}
