How much confidence does he have in if-he-were-evil-it-would-be-like-so predictions?

"I mean, he even when non-evil wants to be uninterfered with by the rulers of the galaxy and wants them to be people he installed and who are loyal to him. I can't see him having the faintest interest in sex slaves."

...is Evil Maitimo such a straightforward pivot?

"...possibly? 'efficiently ruthlessly authoritarian' is totally predictable, I wouldn't have predicted what he did to Findekáno but - yes, there's a sense in which the only thing you'd have to change about me to make me find that appealing would be 'amoral'...."

Now Elspeth is wondering what an Evil Elspeth would be like. There is probably some way to turn a centrally defining character trait of open honesty and turn it bad.

"Demanding it of everyone else, maybe? I'm not sure. Some people it's harder to imagine an evil version of - I can't think what an evil Findekáno'd be like, for example -"

Elspeth can't come up with an evil Grandpa Carlisle!

"Some people have goodness very fundamental to their personalities! Can you imagine an evil your mom, that's the thing the multiverse is currently worried over..."

It would be pretty bad! She does have traits which are not about being nonevil. It is not unimaginable.

"Well, at least the good ones will outnumber the bad. I'll ask people about procedures for handling the evil planet, if you want to go question Mandos."

"Sure."

And off she goes to ask Mandos things about the Evil Arda Fëanor.

The Evil Arda Fëanor would definitely mind-control entire populations into not annoying him with stupid political games, if he could, and he probably could given time.

Well, that's concerning. Is he dangerous when not being annoyed with political games?

Not particularly! If people don't annoy him he will just invent impressive things. If they do annoy him he'll have them executed.

How badly will he react to not having the option to execute people.

Can he still make them go away?

One could stipulate that he can!

Then that sounds very nice.

Do they have useful statistical sorts of information about the evilness levels of people-in-general?

The Valar miserably tell her that there were dozens of violent crimes in Valinor ever year despite them trying really hard, and they thought it was just incarnate nature or something.

Maitimo's kingdom has a lower violent crime rate than Valinor did.

...this is still actually better than the violent crime rates of some populations of incarnates but it is really worrying for Elves.

(Yes, yes, and the trains run on time.)

The Valar agree! They don't know what's wrong! They bet it's Melkor. Everything's his fault, usually.

The other Ardas had those too.

Well! The Valar would love to fix it but they do not know how.

Elspeth either. They are probably going to mostly quarantine this world until they figure out what's wrong with it. Fëanáro might have to be a special case because leaving him dead forever is mean but he cannot be relied upon to stay put. Is there any way to let people talk directly to him while he is dead?
