Do you really consider deep spawn progeny a regular dwarf? for me those products are not complete and should not be considered any race at all. I personaly hate deep spawn as a monster and would never use it in my realms. Where does it get the souls for those copies it makes???

For Moradin's blessing - I would place it closer to the current date just to make it more relevant to living dwarves...

Well like i said im not thinking an actual deepspawn but something like a deep spawn in the same way that we are like chimpanzees.

Im thinking some horrible, grotesque, akira like mass of ever changing flesh. This thing was probably imprisoned in the deepest depths of alatorin and is forced to obey the commands of whoever holds some rune scribed symbol of office from lost shanatar (id possibly make it the wyrmskull throne).

As for the soul thing. Im drawing on mythology here but there is suggestion that primordials create life: othea, maztica.

Since i cant reconcile the existence of a god existing without worshippers then the early life forms have to have been spawned from something, for me that is a primordial being.

So what is a soul that makes it so special and unreproducible. Perhaps it is little more than a living sliver of positive energy. These primordial creatures act as a conduit for that energy and thus the elderspawn can create any number of creatures with its own soul but that look and remember that of another creature which it copied.

Just a few ideas. Ive not really considered this before so its all ad hoc and unresearched.
