Diferencia entre revisiones de «Seon»

Seons can form bonds with individual humans. The human does not have to be an [[Elantrian]]. They love their masters and act as loyal companions and advisors.{{book ref|Elantris|16}} The bond works through [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] [[Connection]]{{wob ref|10049}} and has similarities to the [[Nahel bond]] on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|3488}} The seons are bound only by love and are not obligated to serve.{{wob ref|1965}} The bond typically makes the seon and its master very close. Raoden sees [[Ien]] as more than a servant or even a friend; he sees him as the embodiment of his god's love.{{book ref|Elantris|16}} A seon could theoretically abandon its master,{{wob ref|893}} but how and why this could happen is not known; [[Hrathen]] views seons as heresy and is shocked upon learning that [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] [[Wulfden the Fourth]] uses them. He uses his seon as a necessary tool to achieve higher goals, hating it and keeping it in a box, but it is always ready and willing to serve him when called upon.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} Unlike the [[Nahel bond]], the bond between seons and humans has not been shown to give either party any new abilities.

Seons have many similarities to the spren that live on Roshar. Brandon has called them "the same thing"{{wob ref|9432}} but he has also noted that there are some differences that would not make them interchangeable.{{wob ref|6928}}{{wob ref|141}} Like spren, a seon's appearance in the Cognitive Realm would be different from their appearance in the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|8663}} The Nahel bond with a spren can theoretically be Passed like a seon bond.{{wob ref|885}}. Like spren, seons can turn into [[Shardblade]]s if they have something to pull them more into the [[Physical Realm]].{{wob ref|6197}} Seons can also be used to build a [[fabrial]], where the power of the Aon in the seon would influence what kind of fabrial can be made.{{wob ref|12918}}

== Trivia ==

* Seons were inspired by a series of paintings by [[Michael Whelan]] called ''Passage''. Brandon saw the paintings in high school and wrote a story involving balls of light, which later became the seons.{{wob ref|1965}} The paintings can be seen on Michael Whelan's [https://www.michaelwhelan.com/gallery/personal-visions/passage/ website].

* The origins of seons and their connection to AonDor will be explored further in a sequel to Elantris.{{wob ref|7816}}
