Well its just a matter of degree really. I will write up some more on this (and why you can't just go and beat up on a lone crested dragonnewt to stop a months long drought) this evening, all being well

At least partly inspired by an old "DRAGONLORDS" scenario where one of the encounters was a Dragonewt playing a game of Bridge with his other incarnations (The scenario was set inside the brain of a sleeping true dragon - although the characters never realised this until they escaped by climbing out of it's ear...)

          (2) We're working from different versions of the same Myth,
or        (3) The two stations are (or could be) a single one... 

It could almost be used as an example for this discussion!
