The Hoed are a group of post-Reod Elantrians that have accumulated so many injuries that they become effectively comatose from the pain.[1]
Post-Reod
After the Reod, the Elantrian people stopped healing, so any injuries, however minor, remained indefinitely as painful as the moment they were received. Since the Elantrians were still immortal, some sank beneath the weight of their pain, losing their minds. Many have a phrase or words that they repeat over and over.[1]
Old Elantris
Before Raoden helped create 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
Raoden collected the Hoed together in a building in New Elantris, which they called the Hall of the Fallen,[2] where they were cared for.[3] 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.
Reversing
The Hoed can be relieved from their pain by being taken to the Devotion's Shardpool which vaporizes their bodies, and is one of the only known ways to actually kill an Elantrian.[2][4]
Restoration
When the large Aon Rao is completed with the chasm line, the Elantrians are restored to their former glory. Because Raoden, who was Hoed, regained his mind, it is assumed that the rest of the Hoed did as well.
Trivia
The word "Hoed" is based off the Aon "Oed".[5]
