'''MaiPon'''
MaiPon is the homeland of [[Forgery]].{{tes ref|30}}{{tes ref|98}} Because [[Investiture]] on Sel is concentrated in the [[Cognitive Realm]], and thus dependent on geographic location, the power of a Forgery diminishes the further a forgery is from MaiPon, similar to how the Elantrian Aons function.{{wob ref|4680}} All Forgeries include a lithograph resembling MaiPon on the reverse side of the stamp.
The MaiPon are descended from the same people group as the [[JinDo]]; they diverged long ago. They are commonly mistaken by other cultures as being identical.{{tes ref|76}} The MaiPon use chopsticks, known as [[MaiPon sticks]], as eating utensils. The sticks were later adopted in JinDo culture.{{book ref|Elantris|5}}
== Physical Traits ==
The MaiPon are short of stature,{{tes ref|2}} have dark brown skin and fine features.{{glossary ref|Elantris|M}}
== Religion ==
The early MaiPons worshiped meteors, which they call the souls of broken gods. These meteors would be carved to bring out the shape of the gods.{{tes ref|98}} It is believed that the history of carving was responsible for the invention and advancement of [[Forgery]]. [[Wan ShaiLu]] is from MaiPon, and is a follower of the [[God Beyond]]. It is unclear if the religion is common in MaiPon or unique to Shai.{{tes ref|2}}{{tes ref|98}}
