Both gods and demons can be in multiple (read as: two or more) places at the same time. Demons can be coerced/forced, I suspect via sorcery, necromancy, or whatever the Dragaeran version of demonology would be; gods, simply, cannot. Jenoine cannot be coerced/forced, but they cannot be in multiple places at the same time. The Necromancer is a demon; she can (and probably is) in multiple places at the same time. Verra is a god; she can (and probably always is) in multiple places at the same time. (IMO, that's how she does the 'different people hear different things when she speaks' thing. After all, why seek a more complicated answer when one is staring you in the face?) Sethra is neither demon nor god, though she -has- been offered godhood; I suspect that she'd contemplated studying polylocation previously, and the gods got wind of it and offered her a position -- but she decided that frankly she'd be bored off her ass sorting goddamn -souls- for a living like some Serioli panning for gold ... Anyhow. I don't see what the problem is. Gods, demons, Jenoine, Sethra Lavode. I have to admit, I -do- like the idea that Sethra was a non-mainline experiment of the Jenoine involving Dzur Mountain -- probably something to do with power collection and storage, the 'key' to it being eventually bound into a Great Weapon called Iceflame ...
