True that. I'm just remembering the wording in KoS... which I can't find at the moment. I think it says something like "the dragonewts seem unable to perform many ordinary tasks, like drawing a picture, lighting a fire or tending to a companions wounds". Taboo or something the little-dragon-fletchlings are unable to even comprehend?

Right. I guess the Black Arkati of Heortland are (at least in part) sorcerous? Arkat, of course, was propably also a theist hero, being considered Son of Humakt and all.

That sounds pretty neat. For sorcerer's the dragon could be a source of a grimoire. I like the idea that the members could be theists, animists or sorcerors seeking the same secrets by different routes.

Indeed. I think I'll go with this. Thank you Peter.
