I'm thinking along the same lines, but the dragonewt background sounds fine to me. If he's a human he has already stepped off the traditional dragonewt path, whether or not he's realized it. That's OK, though - he can always pursue another path to dragonhood. His job is to try and find that path - yours is to assure he stumbles across the right EWF ruins.

Don't worry about fidelity with the setting. The Hero Wars are coming and the world is about to end. Barriers are coming down, the old ways no longer work and new ways need to be found. The PC's are SUPPOSED to lead the way by becoming Argrath Dragonfriend and destroying the campaign world.
