'''Shaod''' is a term describing the process of being converted into an [[Elantrian]].
==Lore==
The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens a night. The people it chooses are seemingly random and may be from any class in society.{{ref|b|e|p}} One of the many oddities of the Shaod is that it only takes people from [[Arelon]] or [[Teod]]. It is suspected, but not confirmed, that this is due to [[AonDor]]'s close connection with Arelon and its geography in general.▼
==Physical Effects==
Those affected by the Shaod have brilliant white hair, silver skin, and seem almost to shine.{{ref|b|e|p}} Their bodies are able to heal quickly and they have superior strength, speed, and mental abilities.

It is possible to mimic the physical effects of the Shaod ([[Hrathen]] does so through the use of a crafted poison), but the only known way to become an Elantrian is to be one of those taken by the Shaod.
==History==
During the events of ''[[Elantris]]'', the Shaod could not complete itself, due to discrepancies between [[Aon#Rao|Aon Rao]] shape of [[Elantris (city)|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 [[AonDor|Dor]] was suddenly able to complete the transformation of those stricken by the Shaod, transforming them into full Elantrians.
