{{quote|You look at things as a human, young master. You see rank and distinction; you try to order the world so that everything has a place either above you or beneath you. To a Seon, there is no above or beneath. There are only those we love. And we serve those we love.|[[
(Make a note that Seons themselves are not splinters, the Aon at their heart are splinters. Link to http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/2979-new-hampshire-signing/?p=49247 the block that says Aons at the heart of the Seons are splinters of Aona)
'''Seons''' are sentient beings found on the planet of [[Sel]]. They look like floating, glowing orbs, about the size of a melon, with an [[Aon]] visible at their center(annotations?). The word "Seon" comes from the Aon [[Aon#Seo|"Seo"]], which mean "Loyalty" or "Service". They act as advisors or assistants, carrying messages and offering advice. They live a very long time, and can only die in very unusual circumstances. (http://brandonsanderson.com/books/elantris/elantris/elantris-glossary/#S) Seons are usually bonded to one person that they serve unconditionally. However, a Seon can love and serve a full family even though being bonded to one member of the family. More than one Seon can be bonded to a single person, as was the case with King [[Eventeo]] of [[Teod]]{{book ref|
== History and Origins ==
They did not exist before the [[Shard]] [[Odium]] came to Sel. At some point after Odium arrived, he killed both Devotion and Dominion, the Shards that were currently at Sel, and splintered their power. As a result of the death and splintering, the power of the Shards did not have a normal outlet. Sentient beings came into existence as a splinter of that power, Seons as splinters of Devotion, and [[Skaze]] as splinters of Dominion. It is unknown if the Seons as we see them in Elantris are the same as when Devotion was splintered, or if some form of Aon magic was involved in bringing them to their current level of consciousness. However, it is known that the Seons with an Aon at their core all originate in Arelon.
The historical event of the [[Reod]], in which a large chasm appeared in Arelon where by it's Aon was changed, any Seon whose master fell victim to the [[Shaod]] lost sentience, and proceeded to "wander" aimlessly and silently. Rarely a Reod Seon might show some unconscious recognition of their Elantrian master, but only through classically conditioned actions, not communication. Additionally, if closely inspected, the [[Aon]] of a Seon who had lost their master to the [[Shaod]] would appear to be patchy and incomplete.{{book ref|
After the restoration of [[Elantris]]' magic and the completion of the Shaod, the Seons recovered their sanity and returned to their former state, though they were unable to remember the time that passed while the Shaod was incomplete.
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Seon are magical creatures that float and move through the air with no apparent mechanism for flight or movement. There seems to be no limit to where they can travel, over land and water. [[
They have no obvious method for making sounds, but they can speak human languages clearly and with perfect enunciation. They can even reproduce the sounds of coughing and clearing of the throat.
There are a handful of known Seons:
* [[
* [[

There were also a few that were talked about, but where the name was never given. Hrathen spoke to Wyrn through a pair. Every [[gyorn]] in the Shu-Dereth priesthood was also known to have had one (Chapter 12). Hrathen later spoke to Forton, a man that created a batch of poison for him. (Chapter 18)
== Deleted Scenes ==
* Early versions of Elantris contain information about how Seons were created, and how they died, as well as additional elements of their magic. Those ideas are not cannon and may never turn into actual elements of the Seon's nature.
* Early Seons were created by the Elantrians and were very, very tiny. Hundreds of the first Seons could fit on the head of a pin. The later, full-sized Seons were an offshot of those tiny ones. The tiny Seons had been commanded to reproduce. They did extensively, and covered every surface in Elantris which was why everything glowed.
* Seons could release or actualize their Aon, executing the magic of their Aon. However, they could only do so once, and in doing so they would die. When the Seons died, their bodies would leave a residue. At the Reod, all the tiny Seons died, and left behind a residue, which was why all of Elantris was covered in slime. After the Reod, the actualization of their Aon would have undesirable results. (http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=977#197)
* While not obvious, they had physical bodies. They could not pass through walls.
* There was some subtle variation to the size and color of Seons, [[
* If the Seon's master was taken by the Shaod, their lost of sentience was permanent, and was considered "death".
