There's a possibility that while Dragaerans are genetically messed up Easterners, somewhere along the line, the Jenoine had to use the Chaos to create them. Throwing out my theory of Kieron having parents, maybe the ones who can control chaos were made with chaos until the Jenoine discovered a different way to genetically manipulate things. They may not have known at the time that these few could control it until, boom you have the Great and Lesser Seas. The Jenoine could have been running low on amorphia so *had* to discover a new way after they created Kieron and the others which is why they need to tap into Dragaera so to, speak. Phew. I feel like Vlad tell the ensign (sp?) about what happened to her Lt in _Orca_ (damnit AFB). I know there are probably holes in that theory, but then, what are theories w/o holes (rhetorical)? > > The River of Chaos in Issola is caused by the Jenoine tapping the Lesser Sea of Chaos (the sea that had been left unprotected, since Adron created it unintentionally). While the Jenoine can manipulate chaos to some extent (see their holding off everyone that is trying to kill them at the end of Issola), everyone (including Verra, I think) is pretty sure that chaos, Amorphia, only occurs on Dragaera. I wonder how the Jenoine learned to manipulate the chaos? Maybe they had enough time to do some rudimentary experiments when they had their little river...
