Stages of Dragonewts
Edit
Through spiritual progression, dragonewts can ascend to higher levels of the draconic hierarchy. It takes many times of reincarnations for a long time. Some of them fails and descends to inferior races of draconic species, like Dinosaurs(Gazzams), Magisaurs or Wyrms. Spiritual progression somehow requires Inhuman King. Devoid of its existence makes them Wild Dragonewts.

Failed EntitiesEdit
Wild DragonewtEdit
Several dragonewt cities are devoid of Inhuman Kings, dragonewts in such nests (in current Ormsland, Teleos and Kralorela) don't have ability of reaching true Dragonhood. Their behavior seems to be much more reasonable for outsiders.
DinosaursEdit
These entities failed for some spiritiual flaw:
- Darvan(Triceratops), Monoceros, etc: sexuality
- Tyranosaurus Rex, Allosaurus, etc: greed
- Brotard (Brontosaurus), etc: impatience
- Stegosaurus, etc: ambition

MagisaurEdit
- In Secrets Book, Magisaurs are result of damaged dragon eggs which hatched.
- Anaxial's Roster denies this idea, and such entities from damaged eggs are called Trachodons
- Anaxial's Roster explains Magisaurs fail to transform correctly into the next stage for some unknown reason.
WyrmEdit
Which sought a path of development other than the usual draconic path. They are friendliest to human kind, taught draconic path in EWF
Effect of Inhuman King ExistenceEdit
- In older, Introduction to Glorantha Book tells that Wild Dragonewts without (Inhuman Kings) don't achieve to higher level than noble level.
- Dragonewts: A Guide to the Eravssarr tells that Wild Dragonewts completely lose their reincarnation ability.
