“To a Seon, there is no above or beneath, there are only those we love. And we serve those we love.”

Seons are a type of magical entity native to Sel. They have the appearance of floating balls of light, with a glowing Aon at their core. These Aons are Splinters of the Shard Devotion.[2] Seons are named for the Aon at their heart. The word "Seon" comes from Aon Seo, which means loyalty and service.

Each Seon is bound to a person to whom they act as an adviser and caretaker. The bond can be Passed from one person to another, usually to a family member. This bond is similar in nature to the Nahel Bond between spren and Surgebinders.[3]

History[edit]

Origin[edit]

The exact circumstances of the Seons' creation are currently unknown. What is known is that there were no Seons when the Shard Odium visited Sel.[4] As well as the fact that the Splintering of Devotion and Dominion, by Odium, is contemporaneous with the creation of the Seons.[5]

The Reod[edit]

After the Reod those Seons whose masters where taken by the Shaod would become mindless, floating aimlessly around Elantris. This is the result of the Spiritual nature of the bond between a Seon and its master. The "incomplete" Shaod intereferes with the master's spiritual aspect which interferes with the nature of their Seon.[6] In some instances they would respond to certain motions by rote, such as landing in a person's hand when they held it out, but there was no other sign of recognition. At this time the Aons at their cores appeared "patchy and incomplete" with parts being dark, like the splotches on the Elantrians' skin.

After Elantris and the Elantrians were restored the Seons were "healed" as well, although they could not remember the time they spent mindless.

Abilities and Attributes[edit]

Instantaneous Communication[edit]

Known Seons and their bond-mates[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • It is planned for the Elantris sequel to have more of a focus on the Seons, such as where they come from and where they are disappearing to. Brandon has also mentioned the possiblity of having a Seon as one of the viewpoint characters.[7]
  • The Skaze, who are associated with the Shard Dominion, are the counterparts to the Seons. Brandon has referred to them as "evil seons".[8]
