▲They take the form of floating orbs, each with a glowing [[Aon]] at their core that they are named for. Always loyal to their masters, they can act as advisers as well providing face-to-face communication with other people through their connections with other Seons. Seons live for a very long time--[[Seon Ashe|Ashe]] had served [[Sarene]]'s family for over two centuries.{{ref|b|e|c|5}}
▲During the time of the [[Reod]], a Seon who's master fell victim to the [[Shaod]] would lose sentience, and make its way to [[Elantris]] where it would proceed to "wander" aimlessly and silently. Rarely a [[Reod]] Seon might show some unconscious recognition of their Elantrian master, but only through classically conditioned actions, not communication. Additionally, if closely inspected, the [[Aon]] of a Seon who had lost their master to the [[Shaod]] would appear to be patchy and incomplete.
Recently Brandon Sanderson told that the Aons inside the Seons are [[Splinter]]s of Endowment.{{ref|?|949|5|Are the Aons at the heart of Seons shards of Devotion?}}
▲After the restoration of [[Elantris]]' magic and the completion of the Shaod, the Seons recover their sanity and return to their former state, though they are unable to remember the time they passed while the Shaod was incomplete.
▲The origin of the seons is under investigation at the end of Elantris.
