Nod. I'll probably be in Valinor for a couple more days, taking a break from spellcraft, and might be back in eight weeks if Lúthien decides she wants to stay that long and be picked up.

Lovely. You should visit Lórien while you're here, it's soothing to the soul and a good place for breaks from most kinds of craft, though I don't know of spellcraft.

It's basically like really technical writing. Where is Lórien?

Mental map of Valinor.

Thanks.

My pleasure. How did you level Angband?

Fëanor invented retroactive eidetic memory good enough for me to produce the contents of physics books I read back home and from there they reinvented an extremely destructive variety of bomb, which I then teleported above the fortress.

That was a tremendous good whatever happens from there. No more orcs outside your rescuees.

There's a handful, some of them were establishing outposts and villages before that, but so, so many fewer.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I don't suppose you have Ulmo's generalized permission to take people on trips.

Nothing so broad.

Good luck. We'll have in place what we can here.

Thank you. Should I pop back here before I leave in case you've got letters or will they definitely take longer than that?

It'd take a few days even to reach people and I doubt they'd have thoughts to jot down on the spot.

Okay. Eight weeks, ish, then.

Are there resources here it would be worth trying to acquire for you?

Nothing leaps to mind. Material scarcity isn't a limiting factor on my speed or effectiveness at this time, it's probably worth avoiding me having particularly extended conversations with any Valar if I can avoid it...

Definitely. If there are answers you need from them we can get them without it being apparent you asked - I don't know if news from home would be good or bad for anyone's productivity -

I don't either, honestly. I can hold onto it and dispense it if asked once people know that I was here?

Arafinwë - Findaráto and Artanis' father - has been appointed King of the Noldor, they're pretending the exiles don't exist. He is trying very tentatively to make amends on their behalf and restore diplomatic relations with the Teleri, which is going very slowly. He's also trying to move the Valar to act in Endorë but that's even more hopeless. Fëanáro's mother has been released from the Halls of Mandos and is in the service of Vairë, the Vala of fate, as I understand it. The Sun and Moon were our work. I hope they're helping.

The Sun and Moon are very useful.

That's about everything.

Thank you very much.
