Aon Rao was a graphical depiction of the landscape. Elantris and the satellite areas created the Aon by their construction. When the earthquake happened (it pre-dated the fall of the city), it altered the landscape, and so all those Aons that were etched into the city, and the city itself, were no longer channelling the power through, but instead formed a sort of blockage. Once the energy was blocked, there was the Shaod and Elantris begins to decay...
At the end, Raoden makes the Aon created by Elantris and surrounding area match up with the land itself, and things are restored An interesting direction to go with a sequel would be having an enemy exploit this weakness of their strength...
