I think it's Verra in _Phoenix_ who says "your people came here before the Jenoine". > On a similar subject, doubtless someone's brought this up before, but: Me. :) > Angels as Jenoine?

Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that TRiH is actually the beginning of the Dragaeraverse, just that Brust used similar metaphysics, and thus that the Jenoine are the angels of this verse, without necessarily being related to the ones in TRiH. The evidence I really found suspicious was the claim that the Jenoine have a natural resistance or immunity to the effects of amorphia, when amorphia isn't supposed to exist anywhere else in the universe. How can you have a natural resistance to something outside of nature? Well, by luck, like bugs and DDT, but a neater explanation would be that they come from the amorphia. -xx- Damien X-)
