Added DiffLines:

* CursedWithAwesome: The gods curses have a way of backfiring. The lurkins (the goblin like grey skinned people) used to be humans slapped with a disfiguring curse for ignoring the gods. They decided the gods abandoned them and they can do whatever they want now, and either as a consolation or due to being TouchedByVorlons, developed magic. According to the authors, the most the Ideneuian pantheon did was collectively say "darn it!" and move on.
