'''Aona''' was the original [[Vessel]] of the [[Shard]] [[Devotion]].{{wob ref|783}} Sometime after the [[Shattering]], they and [[Skai]] took up residence on [[Sel]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}} [[Edgli]] believes that, by doing so, they violated the original Vessels' pact to not settle on the same world as another Shard,{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} though the exact terms of that agreement are somewhat unclear.{{wob ref|10835}}
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Sometime in the distant past, [[Odium]] arrived on Sel and attacked both them and Skai, killing both of them and [[Splinter]]ing their Shards.{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}{{au ref|Sel}} At the time, he was hunting [[Ambition]], but found them first,{{wob ref|1550}} and likely used their alleged violation of the Vessels' pact as justification for killing them.{{wob ref|8358}} After Aona and Skai died, Odium locked much of Devotion and [[Dominion]]'s power in the [[Cognitive Realm]] to prevent them from gaining another Vessel, which makes the Cognitive Realm around Sel very dangerous.{{wob ref|2546}}{{au ref|Sel}}
Aona is a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]], making them one of the most powerful entities in the [[cosmere]]. They are immortal, unaging, and incorporeal. They fuel the magics [[AonDor]], [[Dakhor]], [[ChayShan]], [[Forgery]], and [[Bloodsealing]].{{wob ref|9830}}{{wob ref|4090}}
 
== History ==
On present-day Sel, while most of their power remains trapped in the Cognitive Realm, some of it is in the [[Aon]]s at the center of [[seon]]s, which are Splinters of Devotion.{{wob ref|4679}} There also appears to still be a [[perpendicularity]] tied to them, which takes the form of a [[Devotion's Perpendicularity|round pool filled with blue liquid]] located on a mountain near [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]].{{book ref|Elantris|61}} When [[Raoden]] enters the pool, he hears a voice, which may be that of Aona's [[Cognitive Shadow]], though whether or not they even have a Cognitive Shadow is unknown.{{wob ref|5786}}{{wob ref|6356}}
Nothing is known about Aona's origins and life prior to the [[Shattering]], other than that they came from [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|7939}} For unknown reason, they and a group of others broke cosmere's creator deity, Adonalsium, into sixteen pieces.{{msh ref|3|2}} Of those sixteen, they took up [[Devotion]], and departed alongside [[Dominion]] for [[Sel]].{{au ref|Sel}}

== Trivia ==
When [[Raoden]] enters the [[Devotion's Perpendicularity|pool]], he hears a voice, which may be that of Aona's [[Cognitive Shadow]], though whether or not they even have a Cognitive Shadow is unknown.{{wob ref|5786}}{{wob ref|6356}}
