Dragonewts; Mastakos

In the boardgame Dragon Pass, if the Inhuman King is killed, dragonewts aren't reborn when killed. Since there's no Inhuman King in Ormsland (in Ralios), does this mean that Ormsland dragonewts don't resurrect? Do they still have the chance to be reborn as a "higher" dragonewt form? (Or for that matter, as a dinosaur?)

He owns the Motion rune, that's why he's "Major." I'd be interested to see your subcult ideas, since Mastakos is going to be more prominent in my chariot-riding Ralios. (According to KoS, he's no longer a Runner...)

Remember that if Mastakos only has shrines, there can't be more spells. (The fact that he only has shrines does suggest that there are few chariot-using people in Glorantha.)

BTW, I've finally found a reference to an Orlanthi charioteer! KoS.169 mentions Orlmarl the Charioteer as Argrath's Movement Companion.
