"Three different entities": Hmmm. Three different species? Easterners, Dragaerans, Serioli? Actually, count the Jenoine in and you can lump Easterners and Dragaerans together despite the factor-of-50 difference in their life spans. I would. Lifespan doesn't change space-time. The "(at least)" referred to the Jenoine who at least have predictive abilities. And well, if we're talking about lifespan, Sethra is in a class by herself. (She's in a class by herself no matter what we're talking about.) And then there are the gods. They have space-time different from us. And then there's the Necromancer. A variation of godhood.
