	This blasphemy enraged the gods, and Cytan and Turana lay down a great curse upon the cabal. But for the pleas of Amma Elf-Mother, the curse would have reduced them to mere beasts; instead, they became orcs, strong and hardy but dull-witted. Alas, even with wits dulled some of the cabal were mighty priests and mages, and they rose up in rebellion against the gods and their uncursed kin.

	The orcs were fewer in those days, but in embracing their great strength and dark magics, they wrought great destruction, even driving many of the highest-born elves to flee to lands far distant. After much fighting, the tide was turned when the legendary heroes of the age - X - gave their lives to destroy a necromantic weapon-fortress of massive power before it could be used. Even so, its black magic was so powerful as to blast the life from the land for leagues in all directions and raise a ring of mountains at its edge: Moran's Wastes and the Heroes' Wall, as they have come to be known in latter days.

	At about this time, a shadow was growing in the hearts of elves. Moran the Reaper was growing weary of seeing mortal grief and pain, and his elven worshippers grew fearful- some for themselves, some for human friends and lovers. Driven by the Reaper and their fears, a cabal sought to conquer death, and for a time their work was good. From this cabal came all the healing arts and the secrets of resurrection; but it was not enough, for a healed man may still die, and a resurrected one die again. Thus they turned to darker methods, and in foul rituals gave rise to undeath.		At about this time, a shadow was growing in the hearts of elves.

	While this was being done, Vala was in the midst of courting Rectren. Rectren was at first wary, mindful of his sister's seduction and its consequences, but the Fire-Sword was patient and understanding, though persistent. At length, they agreed to marry, and took a great tour of the world, lying together whenever night fell. At each resting place, Vala birthed children of a new race - stern and stoic like their father, but with their mother's fire burning in their hearts. Thus did the dwarves come into being, all across Tyrath, and where they had been born they delved the earth and built great cities in the rock.
