It's a bit of a hack to explain how the "Four Worlds" view is right,
> Dragons, being the opposite of void (they are everything as opposed to
even when it's wrong (vis trolls "mixing" magic systems). Ugly as
it is, it serves the useful purpose of reminding how precise,
elegant and "objectively correct" that view is. (i.e., not very much
at all.)

For me, the Dragonic is the middle. But it's not identical with the
Inner World, just to be confusing, of course. The up and down
directions both have draconic connotations, I think, but then
again, doesn't everything... Those two especially though, I think
of as a pair of opposed draconic principles.
The above can be read as vague thoughts about Kralori philosophy,
vague thoughts about newtish philosophy, vague thoughts about any
other given draconic philosophy, or all of the above/none of the
above.
