Good points, Hetan. However, the Tanno can not be the other "hand" because they grew from one on the hands, the Nameless ones. Thus they can't be the other hand as they only existed after the NO's and their other hand.

However, the Cabalii might be the other hand, assessing who was ready for ascendancy and then the (original) Nameless Ones would aid them in this. I am guessing the Tanno are following the NO's original function of aiding ascension not balancing power (note: corrupted by the Azath). The First Human Empire seems to have been obsessed with the rituals of ascendancy (Ritual of the Beast etc) so I think this may not be too far a stretch but it is still a WAG.

The Assessors people came later, so they could not have co-existed at that time together, ergo - cannot have been left and right

*sighs* A good point ... I missed where it states they came after the human FE but I trust you to be right ... *snaps a tome shut with a rueful air*
