Okay, I want to run this by all of you real quick.
In their file, it says Dwarves are descended from Clangorum, and were called the Clangoru. And that they weren't called Dwarves until the humans arrived, insististing on calling them dwarves until the term eventually stuck.
But humans came with Estarra, and Estarra came after the Cosmic Hope expedition.
And in the histories it talks about Hallifax having conflicts with the 'Dwarves'.
Also, another note as I go through this; what races lived in Magnagora before the Taint? Their member of the Cosmic Hope expedition was trill. Maybe it was a city of mixed races?

Unless it specifically, in the histories, shows you logs on the channel of them calling them dwarves, i.e, "(Cosmic Hope): Guy says, "Dwarves are squishy", then you could just say the scriber of the histories was trying to apply common terms to the writing, making it easier for his readers to understand. It's probably something overlooked by the Divine, but that's an explanation.
And it's not really specified what was the racial majority in Magnagora. So unless you ask a Divine, I guess we'll never know.

Viscanti come in all shapes and sizes, and viscanti are just TAinted versions of other races... so yeah Magnagora was full of every type of race... it was a Metropolitan city, and thus why its so open to change and such. Think.. America vs Europe.

They are logs of meetings of the Hallifax Board. One should assume they were written at the time, else how the hell would some scribe ACE know exactly what happened, who talked, who said what, who argued in what favour, what the names of the ministers are, etc.
And given that the following "Last Transmissions" and everything ELSE in the History are relatively by-the-moment oriented, one should assume that it was a mistake on the one(s) whom wrote the histories, and that the exact origin of the dwarves may or may not have been written pre-writing of the Histories.
I think it's strange, and most likely simply a slip-up. But bravo on the astuteness.

Erm, maybe the Hallifax board meetings were translated by a human? Gah!

Nice save!

I actually like this small reminders that the Divine are actually human under it all. Gives the game a cozy feel!
