'''Seons''' are sentient beings found on the planet of [[Sel]], described in the book of [[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]. They look like floating, glowing orbs, about the size of a melon, with an [[Aon]] visible at their center. The word "Seon" comes from the [[Aon]] "Seo", which mean "Loyalty" or "Service". They act as advisors or assistants, carrying messages and offering advice. They live a very long time. It is unknown how long they can live, or if they can die.
 
Seons are usually bonded to one person that they serve unconditionally. More than one Seon can be bonded to a person,. andA Seon can love and serve a full family even though being bonded to one person. Seons can be Passed to another. Usually this occurs within families{{ref|b|e|c|5}}, but they can be passed to anyone.{{ref|b|e|c|34}}
 
 
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 that passed while the Shaod was incomplete.
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
 
Seon are magical creatures that float and move through the air with no apparent mechanism for flight or movement. There seems to be no limit to where they can travel, over land and water. [[Dio]] travels across the ocean from Teod to Arelon to deliver a message for his master. He traveled much faster than would have been possible by boat, the normal 5-day trip (chapter 2) taking him less than 3 (chapter 46).
- Speak, and make human noises
 
- Travel anywhere, across the ocean
They have no obvious method for making sounds, but they can speak human languages clearly and with perfect enunciation. They can even reproduce the sounds of coughing and clearing of the throat.
- Connect with other Seon, act as a long-range communication device
 
- Simulate the appearance of people, when used as a communication device
Seons can talk with other Seons at great distances. While in contact they can act as long-range communication devices for humans, passing along the actual words and voice of the people speaking. In addition, they can create a visual representation of the people speaking at the other end of the Seon connection, so people can see whom they are speaking to.
- Talk with other Seons over long distances? If they know them?
 
- Control their brightness level, make their glow dim until they are almost completely dark
Seons are described as a melon sized ball of light (chapter 2) although it might be more acurate to say their Aon glows. Seons can control how brightly they glow, and can reduce their light to the point it is almost non-existent.
- they don't need food
 
- they can live enclosed for long periods of time with no adverse effects
There does not seem to be any external source of energy or power for Seons. They dont require food, although it does appear they require sleep. They dont require sunlight, and can live inside a small, enclosed space for long periods of time with no adverse effects.
 
== Known Seons ==
* [[Seon Aeo|Aeo]]: [[Matiss]]'s Seon from Hope of Elantris. His [[Aon#Aeo|Aon]] means Bravery
 
There were also a few that were talked about, but where the name was never given. Hrathen spoke to Wyrn through a pair. Every [[gyorn]] in the Shu-Dereth priesthood was also known to have had one (Chapter 12). Hrathen later spoke to Forton, a man that created a batch of poison for him. (Chapter 18)
