	Having solved that little problem, the next step 3000 years later is the rising of [[dwarves]]. Here, the hephaeston are at issue - actually, just the one, Diemlak. He's a robot, basically, with iron skin. No dwarves will stop this world's development just as sure as no elves would. The Nexus misses the mark, this time, so a naval Odyssey type adventure is necessary to get there. Although this is done a sight better than [[M1: Into the Maelstrom]] is doing it.
