I think the eyes not lining up is just a design choice for the helmet and that we’re not supposed to be thinking this deeply into it. Just like how there’s a whole bunch of different hats and helmets for miqos that have our ears in different places.

I was pretty sure that at the fan fest they said that dwarves are 100% our lalafell. If not, then why would they have a helmetless dwarf on the Shadowbringers website?
