'''Teoras''' is the capital city of [[Teod]] on [[Sel]]. It is surrounded by forest and hosted a large sea-port.{{book ref|Elantris|17}} The roads are made of cobblestone, and there is a main road leading to the docks.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} At least some of the buildings have brick walls.{{book ref|Elantris|61}}
Teoras was best known for housing the largest [[Korathi]] temple in Teod.{{glossary ref|Elantris|T}} However, when [[Sarene]] entered [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] with [[Raoden]] (under the guise of Spirit), she gasped at the Korathi chapel there and its beauty, saying its wall reliefs were more intricate than even Teoras's temple{{book ref|Elantris|41}}, which implies that perhaps Teoras's temple was only matched by the Elantrian Korathi temples. So, during the time after the [[Reod]] and before the restoration of Elantris, Teoras's temple would have been the largest Korathi temple in the world.
