Difference between revisions of "Sel"

The location of the planet Sel within the larger Cosmere is as-yet unknown, though it is known to orbit a yellow star while in turn being orbited by a single moon. Sel also appears to rotate from west-to-east, as opposed to the standard east-to-west rotation of most other planets, since the shadow of Elantris falls on [[Kae]], a city east of Elantris, at dawn.{{ref|b|elantrisElantris|c|1}}

The main populated continent on Sel was called Opelon by those in the west{{ref|b|elantrisElantris|c|1}} and Sycla by those in the east{{ref|b|elantrisElantris|c|3}} and the [[Rose Empire]]{{ref|b|tes|day|76}}. There were two major powers on Opelon, Arelon and the Fjordell Empire. The capital of Arelon was the city of Elantris, which was a monarchy, ruled by the [[Elantrian]] King [[Raoden]]. Under the king, there was a class of nobles, who control various plantations through Arelon. Their primary function was to distribute food to the people of Arelon. Arelon controlled the area to the west of the Atad Mountains, and south of the northern ocean. Arelon was mainly made up of followers of [[Shu-Korath]] religion, although there were still remnants of the old pagan religion that worshiped the Elantrians. There was also a small number of followers of the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]].

The planet played resident to two [[Shard]]s, [[Devotion]] ([[Aona]]'s Shard) and [[Dominion]] (held by [[Skai]]). [[Odium]] visited, killing both Aona and Skai, and Splintering the two shards.<{{article ref>[[|The Letter]]</ref>}} Sel is realmatically the most knowledgeable of the known Shardworlds.{{qa ref|?|968|11|Is Sel realmatically knowledgeable by this point?}}

While travel to Sel is possible via the Shadesmar, it is "really tough" for yet unknown reasons {{17s ref|?2383|968page|11|http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/2383-qa-with-brandon-sanderson/page-4}}
