In a similar way to how the Celestians split into two aspects, one of its virtues taken to the extreme, the other its vices, the [[Dwarfs]] are divided between the Imperial and [[Free Dwarfs]], and the Abyssal Dwarfs. When [[Domivar]] split the world, forming the Abyss and sealing away the twenty-seven Wicked Ones, some [[Dwarven|Dwarfen]] holds dwelt in the area. In their greedy pursuit of wealth, these Dwarfs dug too deep, their mines brushing up against that twisted prison. The Abyss is not merely a physical rent in the earth, but a literal tear in reality itself. Populated by creatures of nightmare, brought into being by the will of the Wicked Ones who are exiled there, it is a place steeped in evil so powerful it is like a palpable thing. That evil works on the hearts and minds of any mortal who spends too long in proximity to it, worming its way in to find their weaknesses and amplifying them to twist the individual into something entirely different.

Thus it was with the unfortunate Dwarfs of the northern clans who established mining communities in the vicinity of the Abyss itself, north of the [[Halpi Mountains]]. Digging deep into the earth, they were exposed to this corrupting influence for decades, gradually corrupting their natural love of gold and other treasures. The noble attitudes of their people – the importance of honest sweat and toil and the earning of wealth – were slowly eroded, replaced by the all-consuming lust for ever more.
