{{quote|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.

'''Seons''' are sentient beings found on the planet of [[Sel]]. They look like floating, glowing orbs, about the size of a melon, with an [[Aon]] visible at their center(annotations?). The word "Seon" comes from the Aon [[Aon#Seo|"Seo"]], which mean "Loyalty" or "Service". They act as advisors or assistants, carrying messages and offering advice. They live a very long time, and can only die in very unusual circumstances. (http://brandonsanderson.com/books/elantris/elantris/elantris-glossary/#S) Seons are usually bonded to one person that they serve unconditionally. However, a Seon can love and serve a full family even though being bonded to one member of the family. More than one Seon can be bonded to a single person, as was the case with King [[Eventeo]] of [[Teod]]{{ref|b|e|c|2}}. The Seon bond can be passed to another person. Usually this occurs within families{{ref|b|e|c|5}}, but they can be passed to anyone.{{ref|b|e|c|34}} Unlike most of the humans on Sel, Seons do not seem to believe in any of the gods of Sel, or even have a religion at all. However, [[Seon Ashe|Ashe]] once said “If He [Domi] has brought me to you, then He has his first Seon convert”
