==== Rose Empire ====
North of the Teod peninsula, beyond the mountains, is the [[Rose Empire]]{{tes ref|76}}. This empire has many provinces, including but not limited to [[Mulla’dil]], [[MaiPon]], [[Dzhamar]], [[Ukurgi]]. The empire maintains a little used mountain pass that leads to Teod.{{tes ref|98}} Unlike Teod, the Rose Empire has limited cultural exchange with the nations of Opelon, though it has some diplomatic relations with [[Svorden]] and [[JindoJinDo]]. Certain segments of the population seem to have a concept of [[Realmatic Theory]].
 
The story of [[The Emperor's Soul]] is set on the Rose Empire.
Each manifestation of [[Investiture]] on Sel use symbols, shapes, or forms to access the [[Dor]].
* [[AonDor]] uses symbols called Aons, which can be drawn directly in the air as glowing light, or in a large variety of physical representations, such as etched into metal plates, or incorporated into the design of buildings. Anyone can learn to draw Aons, but they only have power when created by an Elantrian. AonDor is tied to the land of Arelon and is only practiced within its borders. Aons work elsewhere but become weaker with distance from Arelon.
* [[ChayShan]] is not explored much in ''Elantris'', however it seems to consist of a type of meditative martial art practiced in [[JindoJinDo]], with the forms one moves through granting access to the Dor. It appears that, like Aons, these forms can be practiced by anyone without supernatural effect{{book ref|Elantris|17}}, with additional factors such as intent or bloodline establishing the connection to the Dor.
* The name for the manifestation of Investiture used by members of the [[Dakhor Monastery]] has not yet been revealed, though it is referred to as [[Dakhor]] by the fandom after the monastery. Dakhor monks have unnatural and twisted bone structures that form patterns under the skin. These patterns are most likely the 'form' through which they access the Dor.{{book ref|Elantris|56}}. Some Dakhor magics require human sacrifice.
* [[Forton]]'s potions are Invested{{tweet ref|688913251355111424|In Elantris, are Forton's "potions" magical, or is he using natural substances?|date=Jan 17th, 2016}}, and is likely the manifestation of Investiture on [[Hrovell]]. It is not yet known what forms are used to create these potions.
