== History and Origins ==
=== In universe ===
- in the setting of elantris they did not know the origin of Seons. However, almost all understanding of magic and history of magic had been lost. Some information in books. Could people before the Reod have know where they came from?
- Because there is no Ars Arcanum in Elantris, we have no information on the in-universe research about Seons being done by Comsere aware individuals at the time of the book.
- Ashe seemed to think they could be created.
- They did not exist before Odium came to Sel
- Odium splintered both Dominion and Devotion
- Seons came into existence as an outlet of the power. They are Splinters of Devotion.
- As far as we know, there are not any Seons (or equivalant) of Dominion.
- It is unknown if they spontaneously came into existance, or were created through some form of magic, or some combination of the two
- They come into existence only in Arelon
- Skaze. Communication with?
- During the time of the [[Reod]], a Seon whose master fell victim to the [[Shaod]] lost 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.{{ref|b|e|c|16|p|174}}▼

However, in speculation and questions to Brandon, combined with information found in other books, a fair bit has been determined about the origins of Seons. They did not exist before the [[Shard]] [[Odium]] came to Sel. At some point after Odium arrived, he killed both Devotion and Dominion, the Shards that were currently at Sel, and splintered their power.
 
As a result of the death and splintering, the power of the Shards did not have a normal outlet. Sentient beings came into existence as a splinter of that power, Seons as splinters of Devotion, and [[Skaze]] as splinters of Dominion.
 
It is unknown if the Seons as we see them in Elantris are the same as when Devotion was splintered, or if some form of Aon magic was involved in bringing them to their current level of consciousness. However, it is known that the Seons with an Aon at their core all originate in Arelon.
 
▲-The Duringhistorical the timeevent of the [[Reod]], in which a large chasm appeared in Arelon where by it's Aon was changed, any Seon whose master fell victim to the [[Shaod]] lost sentience, and made its way to [[Elantris]] where it proceeded to "wander" aimlessly and silently. Rarely a Reod Seon might have shownshow 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.{{ref|b|e|c|16|p|174}}
 
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.
