Well, they have only lived in the North for about 500 years, but it does appear that the settlement is failing. Given their vital role as supporters of Blackmoor, the doom of the dwarves would be very unfortunate for Uther. If Uberstar was to be rescued, that might be enough to turn things around...
Its hard to say what the situation is for dwarves in Thonia, or the Dwarven Goatherder culture in the far west...
Quote:As for elves and steam tech, I would take the opposite stance based on what Jerry told us. They really should be the only ones fooling with any technology - like the holy water fire hoses. I realize though the d20 stuff went in a different direction following the AD&D gnome engineers etc. Impossible to reconcile everything.
IMC I am replacing the water hoses with Elven Hydromancers. ZG has many elves be elementalists so that fits. Early Arneson was fairly vague on the demi-humans so I think it makes sense to make use of ZG material here.
