Ok, that makes an awful lot of sense. two questions on this, now that we're straying off-topic. First, is it canonical that they have to have their hides to move up the psychic ranks? This seems a little odd, given that they're physically recreated with each resurrection. What if their old body just lost some scales - would they have to recover those as well.
second - actually this is a comment more than a question - who knows what a dragonnewt's reaction might be to being skinned. perhaps it would be good for it...

Loved this example as well... I should ask you for all of my 'annoy the players' items.

I always thought of Paranoia as being a good source for dealing with openhandist Mostali...

Maybe I should have clarified more - I meant that I thought of Sartar as having been completely overgrown after all those wars (and the 300 years without humans). So when the heortlings returned, they wouldn't see many signs of previous history.

Haven't read those, probably I should.
In terms of Peloria, I think of the Book of the New Urth quartet from Gene Wolfe - Sword of the Torturer, etc - with the land being a palimpsest of all the previous lives that have come before. Except that Dara Happa is too mono-cultural for that...
