The '''Skaze''' are [[Splinter]]s of [[Dominion]] that live on [[Sel]].{{au ref|sel}}{{wob ref|4547}} The Skaze have many similarities to the [[Seon]]s that also live on Sel. Like the Seons, they appear as sentient floating spheres of energy that can converse with humans. Unlike the Seons, however, the Skaze are very rarely seen or discussed during the events of ''[[Elantris]]''.
 
== Appearance and composition ==
While the Seons glow with light and have an [[Aon]] at their center, the Skaze are described as dark, seeming to suck in the light around them, with indistinct edges that blend into the air.{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} Skaze also have a ring around their sphere with a "pattern of misty symbols".{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} The Skaze have some relationship to and may be named after Dominion's [[Vessel]] [[Skai]].{{qawob ref|691|30|Skaze are ...|date=May, 20105540}} This is similar to the relationship of Seons to [[Devotion]]'s Vessel, [[Aona]].{{qawob ref|949|5|AMOL Signing Report - Viper|date=2013-02-064679}}
 
== Disposition ==
Most likely due to Dominion's Intent, the Skaze are "pretty thirsty for power".{{wob ref|6167}} Brandon has referred to them as "evil Seons".{{qawob ref|769|210|Annotation: Raoden and Sarene vs. Dilaf|date=Oct 18th, 20042232}}{{qawob ref|691|30|Skaze are ...|date=May, 20105540}} The Skaze are "reliant upon humankind",{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} but it is not known if they have masters like the Seons. It is unknown if the Skaze were affected by the [[Reod]].
 
== History ==
They have a large amount of influence in the politics of [[Fjordell]]{{qawob ref|590|45|What's Wyrns motivation to topple Elantris?|date=May, 20104641}} and strongly influence the [[Dakhor]].{{qawob ref|510|44|The purification rites are mostly ritualistic|date=Apr 28th, 20104640}} [[Dilaf]], the leader of the Dakhor, had information from the Skaze that the [[Elantrian]]s were not indestructible.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
 
[[Hoid]] talks to a Skaze and they appear to have some kind of agreement.{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} This is a kind of equal partnership.{{wob ref|8377}} Hoid reflects on the fact that the Skaze have a wide range of emotions and individual personalities.
