== Trivia ==
* Seons were inspired by a series of paintings by [[{{a|Michael Whelan]]}} called ''Passage''. Brandon saw the paintings in high school and wrote a story involving balls of light, which later became the seons.{{wob ref|1965}} The paintings can be seen on Michael Whelan's [https://www.michaelwhelan.com/gallery/personal-visions/passage/ website].
* In an earlier draft of ''Elantris'', seons possessed the ability to 'complete' their Aons a single time, creating the effect that their Aon represents in AonDor while killing the seon. Ien targeted this ability on Dilaf, 'healing' him; since Ien's Aon was still incomplete, this turned Dilaf into a fallen Elantrian.{{wob ref|2234}} Brandon used some elements of this mechanism in ''[[Warbreaker]]'' with the [[Returned]]'s ability to sacrifice their [[divine Breath]].{{wob ref|6724}}
* The origins of seons and their connection to AonDor will be explored further in a sequel to Elantris.{{wob ref|7816}}
