Seven rings for the Dwarves in their halls of stone, so, you know, that could fit, if it's the angle you want to take. As for generic youma, I'd lean toward them being constructs like the later Cardians or Lemures, with what they have in the way of intelligence (it does seem to vary quite a bit) being either from the shard of (insert BBEG here; Metallia or a LotR repalacement) that was used to animate them, or some sort of creature used as starting material.
