Sel is the planet on which Elantris is set.

An Earthlike Shardworld, Sel is inhabited by humans and artificially created beings called Seons. The planet is renowned for being the location of Elantris, the city of the gods. By the time of the book Sel is dominated by the Fjordell Empire, with Arelon and Teod being the only remaining free nations. All these nations (except the island-state Teod) are situated on the continent of Opelon (named Sycla by the Fjordell Empire). Sel is orbited by one moon.

Geography and Culture

The main populated continent on Sel is called Opelon by those in the west[1] and Syclan by those in the east.[2] The peninsula of another continent is populated by the nation of Teod.[3] Many of the nations on Opelon at the time of the book Elantris have been subsumed into the Fjordell Empire, including the Duladell Republic and all the states to the east of the Dathreki Mountains: Jindo, Jaador, Hraggen, Geant and Hrovell. The nations of Arelon and Teod and the city state Elantris are the only states independent of the empire.
