Kae was built at the same time as Elantris and the other gate cities, in the shape of a massive [[Aon]] Rao. Elantrians and their human families lived in Elantris, and the gate cities were filled with other human citizens of Arelon. Elantrians formed the entirety of Arelon's government, and the rest of Arelon's populace was largely classless.
