After a few encounters with weird/silent/oniric/almost intangible Dragonewts, my PCs developped the "Dragonewt Boredom Syndrom" : they don't even try to dialog with a specimen (even if it left the Left-Handed Way), they flee at once with a yawn. Dragonewts are still "mysterious" and "alien" but they are not interesting anymore (or rather: I can't make them interesting anymore).
The first time a Sibilant Scout calls you a Stuff of Dream or proposes to train you in Ritual Suicide, it's fun, but how can you use the Dragonewts as interesting NPCs as the vast majority cannot even speak a human language? How can they be more intelligible and remain inhuman?

According to a Lebanese apostate in the 1980's,
they believe also in reincarnation (yes, like Dragonewts...)!
It seems to be a "Mystery" religion with esoteric teachings for the initiates.
Gerard de Nerval called them (in his Voyage en Orient) the Eastern Masons.
