Yep. The dwarves were wiped out by the orcs, and a couple goblins. (And by "a couple", I'm being literal. There are like, two goblins in Fallen Empires. Oddly, it's the set that gave us Goblin Grenade, a card which has won me more games than I can count, and a few years ago, I used it as part of a three-card combo to do 11 damage to my opponent on turn 3.)
Amusingly, the goblins and orcs were allied, but the goblins were getting the serious bad end of that stick. However, they ended up being sneakier and had the orcs wiped out by pulling out of an important battle at just the right time when they orcs needed the back up.
And Icatia? (the white faction) Icatia fell to religious fanatics led by Farrel. And this guy. White has a lynching flavor to some of its removal, as you can see. I just find his appearance a bit uncanny.
I believe that Icatia actually fell to the Orcs. The Farrelites weakened them to the point that they really had no chance of resisting, though.
I really liked that aspect of Fallen Empires. In addition to the standard cross-color conflicts (white against black, green against blue), each color had at least two factions fighting against each other, but each faction played just a bit differently than the others. (Icatians vs Farrelites, Merfolk vs Homarids, Elves vs Thallids, Ebon Hand vs Thrulls, and Orcs & Goblins vs Dwarves).

but that zombie is a druid, he is just a special being that managed to retain his druidic knowledge from life, and needs a special sacrifice to tap into that ability.
I think the point is that the zombie druid can hold life-juice, which isn't necessarily indicative of being alive. It's like a pepsi robot you can crack open for the goodies.
Also, there's a whole history of non-livingthings having mana in them. Mana hides in more places than people realize.
Man, how much do we know about the physics of mana, anyway?

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Man, how much do we know about the physics of mana, anyway?
A bit. Mostly in the most vague of terms as there's never been any advantage to nailing down the exact nature of it in the first place.
There's one article that is a must read to even understand the basics there of though.

Hey now, that's offensive.
Just because they're lifeless doesn't mean they're not full of life.
