But draconic thinking wasn't taken on wholesale. The Kralorelans didn't become dragonewts, but they took on some features from the dragon philosophy (whatever it may be).

IMO, the new afterlife is a more profound change than the incorporation of draconic ideas. But I don't think either is the effect of invasion.
>Just IMHO again, and I think none of these ideas are provable
I thought that was why we discuss this, to define what Kralorela should be like. :-)
