I liked it, too. 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.

Thoughts?
