Known facts

broken-after-masters-shaodRaoden finds his old seon Ien drifting through Elantris: the central Aon now patched with dim blotches like the skin of an Elantrian, the small light bumping into walls and looping aimlessly. The reader sees, for the first time, what happens to a seon whose master is taken by the Shaod.EL:EL:Ch 10
aon-fractured-since-shaodWatching Ien drift, Raoden sees that the Aon at the seon's centre — the Aon for healing — is no longer whole. The lines that should form it have small breaks; its colour has patches of weakness. The damage to the seon is in the broken Aon itself.EL:EL:Ch 16
changed-by-restorationRestored along with Elantris and back at Raoden's side — but something is different. He claims to remember nothing of the years he was mad, and yet hangs back, quieter and more thoughtful, as if some part of him does. Raoden plans to find out, after the wedding, what seons actually *are* — the question his every text has stayed silent on.EL:EL:Ch 63

EL:EL:Ch 10 Drifts in through the open roof of the chapel as Raoden returns from spying on Aanden — central Aon blotched and unsteady, the little light bumping into walls and looping in lazy circles. Briefly alights on Raoden's palm, then loses interest.
EL:EL:Ch 16 Floats nearby on the roof; Raoden studies his fractured Aon and tries fruitlessly to coax another moment of recognition.
EL:EL:Ch 19 Drifts among the still bodies in the Hall of the Fallen while Raoden passes through — the seon spends most of his time there now.
EL:EL:Ch 28 Glides above the topmost shelf in the library, casting Galladon's nervous shadow on the volumes as Raoden reads.
EL:EL:Ch 63 Returned at Raoden's shoulder for the ceremony, bobbing approvingly — quieter than he had been, claiming no memory of his years of madness.
