Thanks for the insight. Speaking to your ideas on different types of plinth - I'd decided to have Youfish add-ons built onto some plinths which facilitated their use by humans. My first idea is to make a blend of Storm and Dragon Tribe idioms with a kind of 'speak friend and enter' cryptic 'instructions for use' motif. So, a stone bowl for blood collection and lots of Youfish designs alluding to its use.
I'm trying to work out activation methods now - hopefully my design will allow a number of different ways to accomplish this.
A bit ago, I found Mick Rowe's rendered pictures of plinths (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HeroQuest-RPG/files/Art%20and%20Maps/) but, whilst they *are* nice, remind one too strongly of Stargate.
I like the idea of junction points being governed by a variation of the standard plinth; two sides to a standard plinth and one side per each extra road for junction plinths.
The dragonewt road itself passes through the plinths and travellers on these road cannot be seen from without.

I've always pictured there being different types of plinths depending on who made it - EWF human, EWF newt, post-EWF newt...
Generally I picture the usual plinth, marking the roads, as largish standing stones with draconic carvings on it.
For an 'intersection' or large nexus point they were middlish sized ziggurats with a large stone oroboros 'O' on top of them, gathering and funnelling the flow of draconic energy.
