After the players entered the city of the Dark Dwarves, Eve became extremely vigilant, constantly monitoring the movements of the players and the dwarves.
After all, this was the players' first formal interaction with other forces in the "Elf Kingdom."
Previously, there were the Half-Beasts, but they were identified as enemies from the start. To the players, aside from being able to talk, they weren't much different from the Demon Beasts they hunted.
But the Dark Dwarves were different. Eve did not have any major conflicts of interest with them or any grudges. More importantly, they were backed by other True Gods.
