So far, the only thing we know about the deathless dwarves is Hellcow's comment that the manifest zone of Irian that they use for their necromancy is located in the Demon Wastes.

I'm not sure if he has a solid in-game reason for that, or if he just likes the sound of the phrase "Deathless Dwarves of the Demon Wastes."

The deathless using dwarves of the demon waste appear to be integral to the silver flame faction in the computer game Dragonshard. There is some description of them in the strategy guide to the game, which I browsed through briefly at a best buy. Keith has confirmed that the alliance is a marriage of convenience rather than a normal thing for the silver flame. I personally would love to know more as well, but it appears that no one actually played the game.

I have Dragonshard. (Awesome game by the way, at first glance it looks like a total Warcraft III rip-off but it's actually much, much different. There's a good D&D adventuring feel to it.). Are you saying that there really are Deathless dwarves though? I thought that was just Eberron ignorance on the designer's part (though Keith Baker did write the story...). Heh, that was pretty much the major thing I didn't like about Dragonshards and it seems I was mistaken about it. Nice!


Now I just need to figure out why the clerics of the Silver Flame occasionally blaspheme ("I am the VOICE of the FLAME!") and claim to follow another religion ("I tread the Path of Light!"). Heh heh.
