'''Seons''' are a type of magical entity native to [[Sel]]. They have the appearance of floating balls of light, with a glowing [[Aon]] at their core. These Aons are [[Splinter]]s of the [[Shard]] [[Devotion]].{{qa ref|949|5|Are the Aons at the HEART of the Seons shards of Devotion?|date=?}} Seons are named for the Aon at their heart. The word "Seon" comes from [[Aon#Seo|Aon Seo]], which means loyalty and service.

Each Seon is bound to a person to whom they act as an adviser and caretaker. The bond can be Passed from one person to another, usually to a family member. This bond is similar in nature to the [[Nahel Bond]] between [[spren]] and [[Surgebinder]]s.{{17s ref|post|66166}}

The exact circumstances of the Seons' creation are currently unknown. What is known is that there were no Seons when the Shard [[Odium]] visited Sel.{{qa ref|618|58|But was the earthquake caused by Odium?|date=?}} As well as the fact that the Splintering of Devotion and [[Dominion]], by Odium, is contemporaneous with the creation of the Seons.{{qa ref|983|6|How long before the events of Elantris did Odium kill Aona/Devotion and Skai/Dominion?|date=?}}

After the Reod those Seons whose masters where taken by the Shaod would become mindless, floating aimlessly around Elantris. This is the result of the Spiritual nature of the bond between a Seon and its master. The "incomplete" Shaod intereferes with the master's spiritual aspect which interferes with the nature of their Seon.{{qa ref|689|29|Why do Seons become broken when their person is taken by the Shaod?|date=?}} In some instances they would respond to certain motions by rote, such as landing in a person's hand when they held it out, but there was no other sign of recognition. At this time the Aons at their cores appeared "patchy and incomplete" with parts being dark, like the splotches on the Elantrians' skin.

*It is planned for the [[Elantris sequel]] to have more of a focus on the Seons, such as where they come from and where they are disappearing to. Brandon has also mentioned the possiblity of having a Seon as one of the viewpoint characters.{{wob ref|1950}}

*The [[Skaze]], who are associated with the Shard [[Dominion]], are the counterparts to the Seons. Brandon has referred to them as "evil seons".{{wob ref|2233}}
