Difference between revisions of "Dio"

'''Dio''' is a [[Seonseon]], a magical being on [[Sel]]. He is bonded to King [[Eventeo]] of [[Teod]] on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|45}}

Like all Seonsseons, Dio appears as a melon-sized ball of light,{{book ref|Elantris|2}} with his [[Aon#Dio|namesake Aon]] at the center.{{book ref|Elantris|45}} Aon Dio means "steadfast" and "immovable".{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}} Dio has a "melodious" voice.{{book ref|Elantris|45}}

When [[Sarene]] is in [[Arelon]], she uses the communication powers of her Seonseon, [[Ashe]], to contact her father Eventeo in [[Teod]]. She assumes that he is using Dio for the same purpose,{{book ref|Elantris|2}} although Eventeo has access to multiple Seonsseons.{{book ref|Elantris|14}} Ashe later notes that Dio may have information about [[Kiin]]'s possible disinheritance, since Dio is close to the king.{{book ref|Elantris|14}} Eventeo later physically sends Dio to Arelon in order to contact [[Hrathen]].{{book ref|Elantris|45}}

Dio is sapient, and has the powers of flight, light generation, human speech, and instant communication with shapeshifting.{{book ref|Elantris|45}} He presumably has other powers common to all Seonsseons, such as immortality. He refers to Eventeo as his "master" and is therefore likely bonded to him.{{book ref|Elantris|45}}
