This has led certain [[elf|conservationalists]] to declare magma a finite resource, advocating stricter regulations on the use of magma-powered workshops. |
However, this hypothesis is flawed. The larger a creature, the more blood it has. The world is at least twice as large as a [[giant sperm whale]], the largest creature known to dwarfkind. Therefore, any [[Bloodline:Boatmurdered|pumping operation]] capable of bleeding the world dry would flood the surface and caverns to such a degree as to render the world uninhabitable. On the other hand, this would usher in the [[calendar|age of death]], and thus the earth would indeed be considered dead. | However, this hypothesis is flawed.
