A Seon was a magical creature from Elantris on Sel.
Seons were magical servants of unknown origin. They took the form of floating orbs, each with a glowing Aon at their core that they were named for. Always loyal to their masters.
“You look at things as a human, young master. You see rank and distinction; you try to order the world so that everything has a place either above you or beneath you. To a Seon, there is no above or beneath. There are only those we love. And we serve those we love.”
Seons acted as advisers as well as they provided a face-to-face communication with other people through their connections with other Seons. Seons lived for a very long time. Ashe had served Sarene's family for over two centuries.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
During the time of the Reod, a Seon who's master fell victim to the Shaod losed sentience, and made its way to Elantris where it proceeded to "wander" aimlessly and silently. Rarely a Reod Seon might have shown 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.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
After the restoration of Elantris' magic and the completion of the Shaod, the Seons recovered their sanity and returned to their former state, though they were 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.
Recently Brandon Sanderson told that the Aons inside the Seons are Splinters of Endowment.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
