Ergo, you get a lot of "a wizard/demon/God did it" explanations for ribbon features.That said, Eberron isn't as big a plot hole as it seems. The majority of races don't have clear origins beyond where they race first appeared, but creation stories are few and far between. Maybe dwarves were blessed by Onatar. Maybe it's a side effect of Daelkyr intervention. Maybe the dwarves don't know and don't want to find out. (As a side note: the changes to races between MotM and 1D&D is going to force a revised Eberron book. If for nothing else to address warforged vs autognome and dragonmarks as subrace).</blockquote>
