Seala is a young Arelene[2] woman from Sel and the former wife of Dilaf.[1]
History[edit]
Dilaf, a Derethi gragdet from Fjorden, was at some point physically transformed to look like a young Arelene man using the magic of Dakhor.[1] His intent was to infiltrate Arelon,[3] which was the only remaining nation in Opelon not under Fjordell control.[4] Seala met Dilaf after his transformation; despite his own distaste for his new body, she found him incredibly handsome.[1] Dilaf set aside his aversion to Aonic people and they were eventually married.[5]
Ten years prior to the Reod, Seala fell ill with a serious palsy[6] and Dilaf grudgingly took her to Elantris to be healed despite his distrust of their magic.[1] An Elantrian used Aon Ien to heal her, but the symbol was drawn incorrectly and it flashed and malfunctioned, leaving her 'cursed'.[6] Her hair fell out, her skin turned black, and she experienced incredible amounts of pain that never subsided, similar to fallen Elantrians after the Reod.[6][1] Eventually, the pain was so intense that she effectively became Hoed[7] and committed suicide by jumping from the walls of Elantris.[6][1] Dilaf found her still alive and screaming, and he burned her broken body.[1] He regretted ever bringing Seala to the Elantrians and wished they would have let her die.[1]
Legacy[edit]
Seala's death fuels Dilaf's intense hatred of Elantrians[5] and causes him to become mentally unstable.[7] Dilaf believes that the unnamed Elantrian healer knew of his origins and intentionally botched the Aon,[1] but this is not confirmed.[8] He sees the invasion of Arelon as vengeance for Seala.[9]
Raoden learns of Seala's case in a book about unusual occurrences with AonDor.[10][6] Her case gives him some clues about the nature of fallen Elantrians and the corruption of their magic.[6]
Trivia[edit]
- Her name is based on Aon Sea, which means "chastity or faithfulness".
