But it raises an interesting question: how the hell did the Jenoine manage to not notice chaos-creation abilities as one of the "gifts" they implanted in their test subjects? Or perhaps their experiments on humans/Dragaerans were not so precise. Also, does this mean the Jenoine named Kieron? How did he and the other members of the 31 tribes learn language/culture, if not from parents? If humans and Dragaerans started out from the same stock, and the Jenoine are the creators, why would a slightly modified variant who holds honor in high regard want to wipe out his cousins? Some of these questions make me think that the Jenoine experiments involved genetic manipulation, but also limited evolution by letting their experiments breed. Going back to chaos, this means that either the Jenoine deliberately built-in chaos-creation abilities in three (or more) lab rats, or these lab rats gained these abilities through mutation (possibly Verra-aided mutation?), which in my mind takes parents that are not Jenoine.
