[Dragaera] Jenoine, Humans, Gods-To-Be, Amorphia, Great Weapons, Barrett, and Various Combinations Thereof

[Erzsébet of Catspirit Wood]

I could go with most of this, but I'm not so convinced about Chaz. I'm 
more inclined to think that he was another of the Jenoine's renegade 
servants, or possibly another test subject. (The disagreement between 
Chaz and Sethra about which is older might be partially due to a 
non-linear perception of time reminiscent of the Gods and the Serioli. 
Maybe Chaz was something of an attempt to infuse Serioli genes into a 
human?)

Also, I think this doesn't quite cover the obsession the Gods have with 
the Cycle. I still think the Cycle is being used as a power source by 
the Gods for something. But in reference to the rest of this theory, 
that "something" could be containing the Greater Sea of Chaos. (I think 
the Lesser Sea is being contained by Adron.)

Finally, regarding Morganti weapons, I believe one of the theories we 
are given is that the Serioli developed them as a way to end war, by 
making it too terrible to contemplate. (Worked for them, didn't work for 
humans and Dragaerans.) This implies that the Serioli have souls that 
normally reincarnate (or do something else funky with respect to time, 
which the Serioli seem to experience differently than humans). I wonder 
if humans and Dragaerans get their reincarnation from Serioli genes as 
part of the Jenoine meddling, or if humans reincarnated even before the 
Jenoine came along? I had the impression that the Serioli had created 
Morganti weapons before humanity arrived on their world; after the 
Jenoine arrived, performed experiments, and were evicted by Verra and 
the other gods, the Great Weapons were created, using an amplified 
version of the same technique. Do we know for certain that all the Great 
Weapons were created by the Serioli? Godslayer and Pathfinder seem to 
have been, but that's not definitive.

One other thing we know about the Jenoine: they don't seem to use the 
dimensions of space that we use, but rather they have different layers 
of reality in the same area of what we would call space (i.e., they move 
through one or more different dimensional directions). I don't know what 
bearing this might have on the rest of the speculation, except that 
whatever direction(s) they're moving in, amorphia doesn't seem to come 
from there, or they wouldn't keep trying to come back to Dragaera to get 
some.
