So I had the strong impression that the Earwan universe is starting to resolve into dichotomies along these lines:  Yatwer/Gilgaol, Birth/War(death), Oppressed/Priviliged, Woman/Man, No-God/God, Tech/Magic.

I'm reminded of Nietzche's line: "Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman--a rope over an abyss."

It feels like Nonmen are Humanity's Ancient Past and the Inchoroi are Humanity's Distant Future and they are clashing, smashing into each other until both are now nearly extinguished.

I can't make up my mind of Ajokli is like a deputy super ciphrang for Yat or Gil or if he is the X factor, 3rd way, everyone is fucked agent.  Probably the latter.

Well, what about the Zero-God?
I am a warrior of ages, Anasurimbor. . . ages. I have dipped my nimil in a thousand hearts. I have ridden both against and for the No-God in the great wars that authored this wilderness. I have scaled the ramparts of great Golgotterath, watched the hearts of High Kings break for fury. -Cet'ingira
