'''Aons''' are a writing system used by the [[Aonic]] peoples of [[Arelon]] and [[Teod]] on [[Sel]]. They are logographic, meaning they represent words and meanings, as opposed to an alphabet which represents sounds. Instead of being an invented system like most scripts, the Aons already existed and were discovered through trial and error.
All Aons are based on Aon Aon, which itself was based off the shape of Arelon. The straight horizontal line at the top represented the northern coastline; the curve to the right, the [[Atad Mountains]]; the dot in the center, [[Lake Alonoe]]. All Aons shown below are pre-[[Reod]] and are thus incomplete since the chasm line to the bottom right of the Aon is not present.
