Is Skai Unity?
(Brandon seems confused by the pronunciation. It is apparently more like "Skae".)

So Aona is a synonym for love, hmm? Is Charity the correct Shard name?
Not quite. I'm trying to remember what the guesses were for the other Shard on Sel. I may have dismissed them too quickly.
How about Mercy for Aona, then? The guesses for Skai's Shard include Devotion, Obedience, and Order.
Okay, I was right, then. Ha There's something very ironic in all of this.

"Does Aona = Love or Compassion?
"You have it, it's just a synonym there. You basically have it
"Does Skai = Devotion or Order?"
"You're not on there. But you are on on the first one [Aona]."

Hey @PeterAhlstrom could you tell us what Aona's Shard was? Brandon said he'd look it up and get back to us, but.... [he never got back to us.]
I thought sure that was answered already. But anyway, the answer is yes [Aona is Devotion].

Ok real quick then I'll get back in line again. There's a bunch of people who follow this stuff online ... I just found out about it ... I don't want to call them a cult, but ... So anyway, at one point someone asked you if Seons were shards of—
Aona.
Devotion ... yeah Aona, and you said that was close. My question is: are the Aons at the HEART of the Seons shards of Devotion?
No, but close.
But ... I was sure ... the floating Aon at the heart, that's not a shard ...
(taking pity on me) You're close but a word is wrong. You're using the wrong terminology.
SPLINTER. Are the Aons at the heart of Seons SPLINTERS of Aona?
Yes.
Can I post that online?
. . . Ok. That's fine. It's been long enough, they've earned it.

How long before the events of Elantris did Odium kill Aona/Devotion and Skai/Dominion?
Same time as the origins of the Seons.
This was the second-closest I came to getting RAFO'd. He was sort of jovially apologetic about this answer; I tried to get a solid number of years but to no avail.
