They were still, for all intents and purposes, exiled Dwarves, however, and didn't form their own proper societies.

As a side note, I doubt evil Dwarves would ever be terribly evil. Even under the influence of the rings, like the Elves they weren't massively effected, and although it did incite great greed in them, that was as far as it went - they wouldn't fight for Sauron.

And so on, and so forth. It's not impossible for evil to exist within such a race, but all the same, they'd be small and insignificant - so insignificant, dare I say, that they may not really be worth adding yet to the mod. A sort of Dwarven-specific bandit, perhaps, would be an idea. Dwarves did fight for Sauron. In the Last Alliance, there were Dwarves from each folk (or at least some folks) on both sides, with the exception of the Longbeards who fought solely with Elendil and Gil-galad. In the hobbit, its also mentioned that some trade with orcs Orcs aren't evil, simply forced into evil deeds by their masters. Trading with them while they're in the tribal state they were doesn't really say anything more about you than you're willing to try new avenues of profit.
