Sethra Lavode has stated outright that Dragaerans were the result of the Jenoine performing genetic modifications and experiments on Easterners. The Serioli also seem to be implying this by referring to Easterners as "Old ones". However, no-one has yet disclosed how the Easterners first arrived on Dragaera. One logical speculation is that "Easterners" were originally Earth-normal humans that were somehow transported to the world of Dragaera. This has been further implicated by the notion that the Serioli are the only native sentient race.
