==Lore==
The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens at night. The people it chooses are seemingly random and may be from any class in society.{{ref|b|
==Physical Effects==
Those affected by the Shaod are transformed into Elantrians: they have brilliant white hair, silver skin, and seem almost to shine.{{ref|b|
===Incomplete Shaod===
During the time that the Shaod was unable to complete itself, the Shaod caused those effected by it to have "limp, grey" hair and grey skin with "sickly black patches."{{ref|b|
==History==
During the events of ''[[Elantris]]'', the Shaod could not complete itself because the geographical region around [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] had changed from the configuration depicted in [[Aon#Rao|Aon Rao]], altered by the appearance of a chasm after 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 treated as dead (complete with burial wrappings and a funeral offering of food{{ref|b|
