JinDo is noted as being subsumed by the Fjordell Empire around one hundred years before the events of ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'',{{glossary ref|Elantris|J}} but it is not known when Jaador fell. Fjorden appears to have heavy fortifications along its border with Jaador.{{map ref|Sycla}} The Fjorden [[gyorn]] [[Hrathen]] claims that Jaadorian citizens would be among those that would form a massive Fjordell army at [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] [[Wulfden the Fourth]]'s command, although he knows that this is unlikely due to the power of the Derethi [[Shu-Dereth#Monasteries|monasteries]].{{book ref|elantris|15}}
