When I heard this one (at Glorontha-Con IV), it was dragonewts on Teleos. Of course, he may have changed his mind since. Besides, I always like putting weird stuff where players might get to see it. (With the obvious exception in the top-left corner of the map).

Presumably they "mystically" endure and overcome the pangs of illness and malnutrition, enabling them to keep functioning in an heroically austere fashion (boosted by appropriate dragon magics?) until the moment of inevitable collapse. It's more fun that way, no?
