There has to be some, doesn't there? If you put rabbits someplace where nothing eats them soon you have way too many rabbits...

Maybe not if you're a Vala. You might just be able to ...slow them down. But yes, there is some.

Oh, right. Chaperoned rabbits.

Chaperoned?

To... make sure they don't go about making more rabbits too fast.

That must be a concept of your world, too.

I don't mean it literally, but how are the Valar slowing them down?

Making them age more slowly would be the most obvious way.

I guess that'd do it. Centuries-old baby bunnies!

Valinor has that effect anyway, but you could intensify it for bunnies if you so desired. They'd make good pets if they happened to grow at the same rate as a child, maybe someone could suggest that.

People keep bunnies at home sometimes. And other animals. Dogs and cats are most popular.

I haven't heard of those, but the Valar say that every animal possible is here somewhere, so maybe those as well.

That's a lot of animals. You'd need a lot of variation in climate or a way to keep them comfortable when they'd normally get too hot under all their fur or something. And what about owls? Owls are night birds and you don't have a night.

The north is much colder than this, and the south is the same temperature but has more ambient water in the air. And I think it eventually gets dark in both directions.

That explains where you'd put owls, then.

Some people were overwhelmed by the light and wanted to seek out the far north immediately, but Finwë recommended we all stay together at least for the first while. They instead built very thick-walled houses, and underground tunnels between them, which seems to have resolved the problem.

Why are there two Trees? One that was bright and dim on a cycle would be less overwhelming.

Well, they weren't trying to make it similar to your world, were they?

No, but it sounds like the Noldor don't all like it being bright all the time either if they dug tunnels to avoid it.

We just weren't used to it. The Teleri were even less used to it, they've refused to land on the continent at all, asked for an island offshore.

Who're the Teleri?

I told you there were three people who agreed to go to Valinor? Ingwë, Finwë, Elwë? One from each of the three tribes of our people that existed by Cuivienen. The third tribe, Elwë's people, were delayed on coming to Valinor - by Elwë himself vanishing, actually. Only half of them came at all and they're currently on their island, declining to come any closer.

What happened to the other half?

They chose to remain in the Outer Lands and keep looking for Elwë.
