History
During the events of Elantris, the Shaod could not complete itself, due to discrepancies between Aon Rao shape of Elantris and the surrounding cities as compared to the geography of Arelon as a result of the Reod. The incomplete transformation rendered their bodies unable to heal. It was therefore considered a curse to be struck with the Shaod. Those stricken with the Shaod were exiled to Elantris, where they would slowly accumulate a large number of injuries. When Raoden added the chasm line to the Aon Rao, the Dor was suddenly able to complete the transformation of those stricken by the Shaod, transforming them into full Elantrians.
