Let the Svirfneblins progress and industrialize, but not at the expense of the ecosystems of Ebos. They will be bless with the understanding of how destructive they can be, so that if they pollute they will clean, if they destroy they will rebuild, if they poison a waterway or aquifer, they will filter it. A project will not be started unless the ecological risks have been considered and dealt with. This feeling of responsibility to nature will be based on a bell curve where a small percentage of the population are "eco-zealots", a small percentage don't care at all, but the rest of the Svirfneblins have varying levels of consideration for the environmental repercussions of their industrialization. The eco-zealots will pursue career paths seemingly "odd" to the rest of the population, like conservation biology, resource management, wetland management, "urban" (cave?) ecology, etc.

 

Bless: Svirfneblins Environmental Awareness
Savagery +1 Blessing, + 1 Domain (Ecological Sciences)
Special Rules 5% of the population will be obsessed with nature and the ramifications of the industrialization of their society, their zealotry will advance the sciences needed to responsibly exploit natural resources without sacrificing the health of Ebos' ecosystems.
The Svirfneblins will have +1 addition Savagery in innovation, discovery and technology in ecological sciences to assist in their efforts
