I love these plain questions. They restore my faith in Glorantha as an
unreal world...
Forgive me, Ian. I can't help you. Maybe someone else (unless you own
Borderlands...: there oasis people were described as poor wretched creatures
with nothing of value that was worth a decent nomad raid).

Dear Graham, I rem that in Elder Secrets was a fine description of a visit to a dragonewt town. Since you are asking for on-line material, however, I give you this broad rule of mine, about 'newts.
Whenever your characters meet them, make them (the 'newts) behave exactly the opposite your players would expect them to do. After the first two or three contacts, they should begin to realize the fundamental alieness of this race. Next time, they (the 'newts again) will act as mushrooms or college-maidens. It doesn't matter the exact behaviour, but the fact you convey to your players that they are an alien, inhuman race.
All the above are my humble opinions, of course.
Ilav

That's your opinion, lad.
