If you don't know what or who Dagoth Ur is yet, you should look it up.

That would explain the celestial disposition.

page #16 is fully coloured.

I also fixed up a few face and limb positions that were bothering me.

Although a few of the characters still look quite off-model on this page...

Agreed. Everyone should know who Lord Voryn Dagoth is! ...But how does it explain my celestial disposition?

the thing about Effigies Dwarves that differentiates them from Dwarf Fortress dwarves is that they are not associated with the deep underground as much as they are with high mountain peaks. (I should probably have elaborated on this earlier!)

Essentially, they were once a subterranean race, but the voice of their god sort of called them upwards. And Dagoth raises a good point about gods being associated with the celestial - I wanted to keep this theme with the dwarves, but have them associated with a more violent and turbulent aspect of the sky than mankind's "Sun God" ideology. As of now, a God of Storms seems most fitting for the historical dwarves (who were a much more warlike race than what they became in the Age of Reason), despite how cliche it may be.

High mountain peaks.. They live in mountains, which makes them closer to heaven than other beings. Id est; closer to the gods. Brilliant! Apropos, how deep down goes the dwarven buildings usually?

Well, most of the older (now abandoned) Mountain Halls extended far underground, but Mt. Bakar, being a (relatively) new settlement, does not occupy very much of the mountain's volume. Most of the mountain city (residential and work areas) is dug out of the areas just below the peak of the mountain. And although there are subterranean tunnels that extend downwards for the purpose of mineral and gem excavation (and for the pumping of magma from subterranean chambers), these tunnels are not occupied as much as they would be in an older mountain hall.

SO.

Update soon? Are we going to care about the Ogre? Will someone tell us to believe in them who believes in you? Will Will escape from the rubble? Did I confuse Will and Josef?
