Lalafell and Dwarves... Plot Hole Potential?

[RenewalXVII]

The Warriors of Darkness came to the Source via an Ascian method: they killed their physical bodies, and transcended worlds via their souls alone, inhabiting new bodies on the Source. The Devout of Darkness may not have even been a Dwarf on the Source for all we know.

I'm pretty sure that this method and its incongruities with our character (i.e., there's no sensible way we're physically killing off our body to get a new one) was brought up at the Fanfest or an interview at the same time, and it was mentioned we would be traveling to the First via a different method, that would preserve us body and soul.

I must have missed that then! Thank you!

I must admit, I'm resistant to the notion that the Dwarves' beards being fake and/or part of their armor. They're dwarves! They deserve to have glorious beards! Sure, they can be alt-Lalafell, but let them be Lalafell that have a coveted tradition of growing beautiful, flowing whiskers! Ah, well - what will be, will be.

One thing they never went into any detail about (which I found somewhat delicious): just just WHERE the bodies they came to inhabit came from? Presumably, Elidibus supplied them - but does that mean he dug up a few corpses, or that he "relieved" some living people of their bodies for the purpose? And the WoD presumably knew this or suspected it, and went along with it anyway... which isn't hard to imagine. In their desperation, they'd already resigned themselves to some thoroughly nasty business. Having fallen as far as they already had, it's not hard to imagine them seeing five additional tics to the body count as being an acceptable sacrifice...
