Some Elantrians who had not yet succumbed and become Hoed formed gangs which would steal the funeral offerings of food from new entrants to the city in an effort to satiate their ravenous hunger. At a point ten years following the Reod there were three gangs, led by [[Karata]], [[Aanden]], and [[Shaor]]. Karata's gang resided in the Royal Palace and cared for the children residing to the city. Aanden and his followers took residence in the Library, and used the bindings of its books as a food source. Shaor, who was in reality a child, was worshiped by her followers, who had degenerated into a sub-human society, as a result of the wig that gave the impression of her retaining her hair when all other Elantrians had lost theirs.
===New Elantris===
Ten years after the Reod, [[Raoden]], the Crown Prince of Arelon, was taken by the Shaod and secretly exiled to Elantris. Under the pseudonym "Spirit" he acquired a number of followers while attempting to improve conditions in the City. He and his followers settled in the area around what had once been a Korathi church, and cleaned every surface, even the streets, of the ever-present slime. This resettlement eventually came to be known as "New Elantris". Overtime he was able to gain the support of both Karata and Aanden, who returned to his original name of Taan, and most of their supporters. He and his followers also made an effort to collect the Hoed from the streets and alleyways and begin to care for them.
The resettlement was supported in part by the [[Widow's Trial]] of [[Sarene]], Raoden's "widow", which supplied the city with much needed food and supplies. Due to her initial distrust of "Spirit" she attempted to thwart his plans by obeying the letter but not the spirit of his requests. This forced the Elantrians to be creative with the materials and contributed to the unique culture of New Elantris, such as the garish clothing prompted by Sarene's choice of fabric colors.
Around this time Raoden, along with [[Galladon]] and Karata, discovered that some of the Hoed are Elantrians from before the fall. They are shocked because it was believed they had all died in the chaos following the Reod. One of these Hoed leads them to a hidden library containing books on AonDor, among other subjects, as well as a passage to [[the Lake]], where Elantrians went to die. In this library Raoden gained an understanding of certain aspects of the fall. The slime, for example, was a result of the decomposing of a micro-organism that had thrived on the light given off by the city, when it grew dark the organisms died. He also discovered the tie between AonDor and the geography of Arelon, and was able to "fix" AonDor by the addition of the Chasm line to the Aons.
===The Restoration of Elantris===
During the events of the Invasion of Arelon Raoden is critically injured and becomes one of the Hoed. Galladon and Karata, following a promise they had made to Raoden, brought him to the Lake in order to ease his suffering. On the way he noticed that Elantris was itself was a broken Aon. After refusing the peace offered by the Lake he added the Chasm line while avoiding capture by Dakhor monks, Karata died protecting him. Once the Chasm line is added Elantris, and the Elantrians are restored to their pre-Reod state.
Following Raoden's coronation Elantris is re-instated as the Arelish capital.
