{{quote| Elantris was beautiful, once. It was called the city of the gods: a place of power, radiance, and magic. Visitors say that the very stones glowed with an inner light, and that the city contained wondrous arcane marvels. At night, Elantris shone like a great silvery fire, visible even from a great distance.| [[Elantris/Summary#Prologue|Elantris Prologue]]{{ref|b|e|prologue}}}}
The '''City of Elantris''' is a city in [[Arelon]] on the continent of [[Opelon]] on [[Sel]]. Prior to the [[Reod]] and following the [[Invasion of Arelon]] it served as the Capital of Arelon. It is surrounded by four Gate Cities in each of the cardinal directions, of which [[Kae]] is one. It is accounted as one of the most beautiful cities on Sel, particularly sculptors who heaped countless praises on the city's sculptures.{{ref|b|e|c|16}}
==History==
===Korathi Church===
The Elantrians built the Korathi church as a sign of friendship to the people of Teod, the center of Shu-Korath. It is said to be "the most beautiful of its kind." The fact that the Elantrians, themselves viewed as gods before the Reod, allowed another religion to have a place of worship in their city is somewhat surprising to most.{{ref|b|e|c|10}}
The Korathi Church served as the center and main meeting place of the New Elantris settlement.
===The Roost===
Located in close proximity to the Korathi Church, and so inside the bounds of the New Elantris settlement, the Roost serves as a home for over fifty Elantrian children and their caregiver [[Matisse]]
==AonDor==

The City of Elantris has a strong link with the practice of AonDor.
===Elantrians===
{{quote| Yet, as magnificent as Elantris was, its inhabitants were more so. Their hair a brilliant white, their skin an almost metallic silver, the Elantrians seemed to shive like the city itself. Legends claim that they were immortal, or at least nearly so. Their bodies healed quickly, and they were blessed with great strength, insight, and speed. They could perform magics with a bare wave of he hand... They were divinities. <br>And anyone could become one.| [[Elantris/Summary#Prologue|Elantris Prologue]]{{ref|b|e|prologue}}}}
Elantrians are marked by their pure white hair and silvery skin.
;Notable Elantrians:
*[[Raoden]]
*[[Galladon]]
===Shaod===
{{quote| The Shaod, it was called. The Transformation. It struck randomly--usually at night, during the mysterious hours when life slowed to rest. The Shaod could take beggar, craftsman, nobleman, or warrior. | [[Elantris/Summary#Prologue|Elantris Prologue]]{{ref|b|e|prologue}}}}
