Secret of EWF Reincarnation Eggs
Below is not exactly the same writings in Original Glorantha Digest (02/01/14)
Terra Incognita:
Please think about Aim of True Golden Horde and Cause of Dragonkill War. Their quest was for Extinction of Dragonrace after EWF automatically assassinated their own human leaders under the inhumane order of Inhuman King and "Minarian Memory Removal" (and Some Humanic Dragon Essence Salvaged as Dragon Sun.)
In my humble opinion, Eggs of dragon nest are recycled for many uses of
immature Dragonewts as Space Shuttle of NASA : My imagination made eggshell
shape of Gas Tank like divided easily by strong hand to two accurate domeshell.
Nils Weinander:
<<Yes, the egg lasts as long as it takes the 'newt to evolve.>>
Nils Weinander
<<That's a very neat idea! Considering Dragonnewts as mystics, is
the egg a piece of the eternal, changeless transcendent world? I have been
swept up in the concept that the Dragon Egg is the actual creature and
that the Dragonnewt is a projected viewpoint for the egg to perceive the
world... like a conscious Dream Dragon. The egg gains knowledge, experience,
and perspective on the world, improving it's mystic status until it transforms
into the final dragon form. The number of newt bodies is unimportant, the
time required is meaningless (especially if the egg could ingest nutrition),
and the only reason to care about the death of an old body is to recover
valuable properties and magics. Priceless image, totally YGMV. >>
Terra Incognita:
True Golden Horde Generals involved many professional Dragon Slayers and
plotted their mythological stream swallowing Dragonpass area. But as many
cases of such heroquest, some fault made fatal and serious damage to that
plan, and True Dragons awakened from non-REM deep sleep.
Terra Incognita:
See Dragon Pantheon: Cosmic Dragon grasped Orxili and tore off six legs (In My Opinion, these are six aspects of chaos: Void, Entropy, Hunger, Gorp, Evil, Seduction (Book of Drastic Resolution: Chaos) later it became to Six Elements of Dragon Pantheon Silence, Secret, Being, Experience, Thought and Spirit) and used his body as source of Cosmic Egg. Two Eggshells after used became Inside and Outside.
(See also Lords of Terror: Who is Gbaji?)
IMO, if Dara Happan Intervention to God Project had not been occured, Osentalka
became Dragonewt or other Dragonraces (As in RQ con2 documented) : Pseudo
Cosmic Egg (already some hints this condition) was discovered in Ruby Harbor
of Fildichi Ruin (I don't know where it was in Dorastor inland) This Egg
was World In World, Inside of Chaos, Impossible, etc...
Terra Incognita:
Subject: What is Dragonewt eating? What is the shape of their Body?
It's also my optional Idea, Many dragons are able to fly without Batlike Wings: with their Magical Existence. If applied physics welcomed, they can never fly.
Their Spiritual Evolution made their body varied: As Eastern RW dragon,
some dragons don't have Wings. Dragonewt who is always angry (or Spiritual
need urged him as so) have Blood-Red Eye. While who always be cool (cruel?)
would have pale blue color.
Some Dragonewts have Nuclear Electronic Battery in their body without Risk
of Explosion: some Dragonewts have digest system enable to eat Soil as
Uz: some Noble Dragonewts eat only Caviars, Expensive Cheese, Matsutake
for their Spiritual Needs. [Really silly ideas....(2003 / Sep)]
This event occured at 1042 (just before Minarian Memory Removal) Northern
Kerofinela:
(The interview translated from Auld Wyrmish, of course, imperfectly)
Hello, I'm Serim Goodwind, an initiate of Obduran Dragonfriend and Walzing
and Hunting Band, and here is my friend Warrior Dragonewt, Crashing Beaks.
"WE COME HERE BECAUSE Cult of Half Dragon Mystics ORDERED one mission
TO US"
My tongue is forked long, and my scales ring like a steel coin, but there
is no problem as an EWF citizen. Here is usual Difference list of I and
my friend:
1: We cannot speak AW fluently, it requires Tail and other sensible organs we don't have: Our Fault, but transformation will absorb this problem and our difference.
"YES, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SCALE AND TAIL, BUT NO PROBLEM."
2: We have some Merit in studying mystical Draconism. (this head idea was in accordance with older Sandy Petersen's unofficial Rule, but IMO his idea mechanically too solved Dragonewt's inhumanity and suited GS's Dragon Pantheon description) We already have much dragon essence than my Friend, Our Merit.
"NO, YOU CANNOT USE DRACONIC MAGIC IF YOU WANT TO GAIN MORE DRACONIC
ESSENCE. "
3: What is (Minarian) Memory?
"THIS POINT I DESCRIPT YOUR CONDITION, OK?"
Ok.
"EYE'S INHUMANKING ADMINISTRATES AND WATCHES HUMAN COMRADES OF OUROBOROS."
"But you aren't watched? Why? Why apostle Dragonewts aren't punished under IHK order?"
"BECAUSE WE BELIEVE AND TRUST UTTERLY DRACONIC WAY, BUT YOUR HUMAN
PART AND DRAGON PART ARE SEPARATED. SO IT IS BOTH YOUR MERIT AND FAULT
AT SAME TIME. "
4: Immaturity
We human can bore children, but Friend Dragonewt's life is long cycle of
death and reincarnate with memory. Immature DN Eggs are constantly decreased
after almost all Dragons leave surface world. (In my opinion, Gloranthan
Humans don't see their Children as Real World humans: they are ancsestor
worshippers but they rather have weaker desire for their immortality sense,
they want another sense of immortality.) Because this is breakable. I think
this is our Merit.
5: Reincanation Egg
By the way, what is our mission? Friend? You haven't teach me until we
came here.
"WE WILL TRY HERE TO KAMIKAZE ATTACK TO OLD DAY TRADITIONALISTS. THIS
IS REVENGE OF DRAGON SUN."
Oh no! We must be killed!
"NO PROBLEM! DRAGON ESSENCE IS FOREVER EVEN IF YOU AND I ADMIT REBELS
TO BREAK EGGS, AS COSMIC SPIRIT WE'LL SURVIVE!
Wait,wait!
LET'S GO!
What is the Final Fate of Dragon Sun? He was killed by Karvanyar.
