Odahlian Dwarves
"The Odahlian Dwarves, commonly known as Cave Dwarves, are a rather common species of dwarf. Their existence and prosperity in Kaviru has only survived the Drow onslaught due to their gift with Divine Arts. While Orcs and Dwarves are near equals in architecture and smithing, Orcs don't have the same Divine blessings the Dwarves do. Now you may be asking yourself 'what could possibly be so wrong with them to be cast into the Cage?' And that, dear reader, is the fault of one mistake on the part of the gods. Soon after it was discovered that celestials could fall and become demonic, lorists and oracles claim there to be a series of species that were condemned without a second thought due to the slightest suspicion. The Dwarves were made to be fiercely competitive with each other, so they would be able to craft better and better items. However, this led to some...unorthodox practices. When blessings and engravings weren't enough, dwarves would turn to magic, curses and possessions just to make their items better than their rivals. All these corrupted artifacts had their influence on their makers and they slowly began to shift in appearance and mannerisms. Before this could get any worse, Odahl cast them into the Cage and left them there." -The Wondrous and Terrifying Creatures of Development: An Analysis of the Creations of the Universe
