In Darwinian evolution, mutations cause individuals to display new traits and if they are favorable they get passed on. If there is a population of dark skinned norns, it is easily and realistically attributed to a genetic mutation which has been passed on in a certain bloodline or area.

Right, in a certain bloodline or area, which is exactly the same conclusion that I reached in the first place. That’s what’s at the core of the matter: where did these norn come from, literally?

Well clearly this was Elricht’s point the entire time. ……..

Anyways, however it happened, we seem to all (now) be in agreement that it is completely possible.

All it takes is a small, out of the way place, much like the Galapagos. Surely, the world is big enough to imagine that this could happen? Not to mention that fact that they are a non-human fantasy race. Maybe they’re far more prone to pigment mutations? Maybe they’re magic and don’t even have genes? It really shouldn’t be something that strains suspension of disbelief in the least.
