snig, thanks for the suggestions. (and I'm glad you like it!).

I'll just ask you to remove the text if possible because I didn't want to post the whole long thing here. I have saved your corrections in a text file so you can remove it without loss of the feedback.

Dwarves believe that they must use the strongest rock for a hearth-DO YOU MEAN HEART HERE?

Ops. Yes, it should be heart. I have a tendency to put -th- in far too many places.

What I want to say here is that females are not involved. It sort of becomes two times "of" (thereof of) which looks ugly but if I put "to" the meaning would be slightly different, I think.

CONCERNING LIMBS. Add two arms and two legs, but no more. If you add more we have to chop them off later and it-WILL BE A MESSRATHER THAN JUST IS, is a mess. You’ve been warned.

Hmm.. is it an optional or obligatory change?

no, it would still read that females are not involved in the process if you put "to" ,"of" is just wrong.,

How 'bout this one:

Thereof is a funny word, I'm not sure I completely understand it. Semantically it's sort of like the ceci in French but formal. And it goes at the end (or near the end) of a sentence.

Sorry for jumping in unannounced, but how about?

"...the origin of baby dwarves (no need for a hyphen) and the involvement of females, or
lack thereof, in the process"
