theme for a fantasy campaign

[Xplo]

For the dwarves, I had this idea of making most of them hibernate. In desperate times, maybe they can eat the manifest bodies of the earth spirits, who are able to survive a certain amount of depopulation without blighting the land. This would also contribute to the scarcity of mined goods, and establish a reserve of living dwarves in case of war or other disaster.

What about hyperglycemic blood? 600 mg/dl levels are not uncommon in diabetics, I understand, and I found one story of a person who briefly had 5600 mg/dl and survived (thanks to treatment, of course).

Also, I suspect we've just invented a new Batman villain together, and a particularly goofy one too. The rest of y'all can thank/curse us later.
