Summary: Everyone knows that the “Fomorians” first appeared in the 1840s, after the dwarves of western Ireland quarantined their own homelands west of the Corrib. The finest minds of the dwarves and the British establishment have failed to uncover the causes of their appearance, beyond that it is a disease dubbed “Fomoritis”. But nobody knows for certain. Until now. One corrupt scientist from a dwarven megacorporation runs an illegal experiment to find out. What he doesn’t expect is the Fomorians themselves to object and hand his subjects over to the military. For the children involved, that was just the beginning.
