Elantris

Known facts

three-gangsInside the walls, Elantris is divided between three rival gangs. Shaor's feral followers hold the market section, Karata holds the palace, and the would-be king Aanden holds the university. The factions split newcomers' food offerings three ways by tacit truce — even Shaor's men will not fight without overwhelming odds, because in Elantris even a small wound never heals.EL:EL:Ch 4
no-fuel-or-fireElantris was designed around AonDor: its rooms were lit by Aon-etched plates a touch could dim, its plumbing fed by a single ceremonial well, its kitchens without furnaces or coal. After the Reod, with the magic gone, the city has no easy way to make fire and is barely fit to be inhabited.EL:EL:Ch 7
stones-decay-when-dor-withdrewEven cleaned marble in Elantris crumbles under finger pressure like soft chalk — Raoden's working theory is that the Reod sucked the Dor out of stones that had spent centuries infused with it, leaving the city an empty shell of its former self.EL:EL:Ch 22
