Elantrian[edit]
"Legend claimed 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 the bare wave of the hand."
--Brandon Sanderson, Elantris
Beauty of the gods[edit]
Elantrians are normal people, turned Elantrian by a transformation called the Shaod. They now have magical powers, heal quicker than normal. Their skin almost glows, radiating with a beautiful silver. Their hair is white, and they are unspeakably beautiful.
Life in Elantris[edit]
Elantrians live in a city known as Elantris. They live together, sharing in the beauty that is their heritage. They perform magic by drawing Aons. Aons are magical symbols drawn in midair with an Elantrian finger. It truly is a sight to watch.
