Last I heard, 'the Dragon world' -- surprise, surprise. You now know as much as I do...

Some says aye, some says naw... Me, I says 'mibee'.

Not necessarily. The Pelorians seem to fall into it handily enough, for example. How neatly others they _did_ encounter fit is another matter, too. Dragons are 'supposed to be' more inherently alien, hence the GL's lack of success with them. They certainly _tried_ to understand the dragons: look at the whole Kralorelan debacle, and the MSE's fencing with the EWF.
Then again, I know of now evidence that the GLers ever successfully exploited or indeed properly understood mysticism, either. So you could argue that Draconism is really not so very different in that respect... (As well as in several others.)
Cheers,
Alex.
