Here ends the Silmarillion; and if it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred

"She is. She'll stop here before she visits your Valar, probably, you will want to make sure not to tell her anything that she shouldn't tell whoever she may happen to meet, she's almost pathologically incapable of keeping secrets."

"I cannot think of anything of that nature but thank you for the advisory."

"On the 'resurrecting Noldor' timeline - we're thinking it'd make sense to bring back the local Findekáno, er, Fingon, before the local Maedhros, does that present any special complications?"

Permalink

"I don't know if he's in fact still dead, I don't know if he'll want the kingship back, I don't know if, should he want the kingship back, he'll want to prosecute his cousins for war crimes - he died before I was born, all I know about him is from the history books - but it would not present a problem to have him present here, he is remembered as a hero."

Permalink

"Okay. We would like to assign a point person who's had more exposure to multiversal shenanigans than the locals to hang out here and consult on things, ideally someone less busy than a Bell and less negatively recognizable than a Maitimo, but most of who we have available are Noldor. Are there any public relations problems we should worry about with non-Fëanorians?"

"The people who followed them in Doriath and Sirion. Most Elves here aren't Noldor and can't stand the Noldor but if you're constrained to that anyway - could Lúthien do it -"

Permalink

"Joy's busy too, other Lúthiens aren't nearly as multiversally plugged in."

Permalink

"And none of them have descendants at all? Uh, a Galadriel, if you have any of those, particularly if she's already with her husband..."

Permalink

"...Loki has met a Galadriel and can't stand her, I don't think any others have come to our attention at all..."

Permalink

"I guess I don't know what she was like as a person seven thousand years ago. She's a very capable one now and everyone would trust her."

Permalink

"I'm sure she's different now but the ones on our end aren't first in line for all the cool multiverse news. If Fingon is remembered well there's a bunch of those around, maybe one could peel off from Space? Space has four, I don't know if they need four."

Permalink

"...how do they have four."

Permalink

"Space Elves can fork, and they wanted to be four."

Permalink

"He's remembered well around everyone who'll tolerate the Noldor at all; that would work fine."

Permalink

"Okay, I'll drop them a note - and I'm sure Vanda Nossëo can produce a list of non-Fëanorian candidates to see if you recognize any names either way, if it turns out Space needs all four."

Permalink

"They couldn't, just, make five? If they need five?"

Permalink

"They could, but it seems like sort of an awkward thing to suggest they do if they aren't inclined of their own accord."

Permalink

"Well, I appreciate the list of candidates, but there are really only a handful of survivors of the first age - Glorfindel, do you have Glorfindels.."

Permalink

"If we do I don't know them by that name, is there a Quenya...?"

Permalink

"Laurëfindel -"

Permalink

"...hasn't come up, sorry. I suspect that this Age may just. Have substantially different tastes in Elves than Bells do?"

Permalink

"And Bell taste in Elves is a qualifying criterion because otherwise they likely don't hear enough about the workings of the multiverse?"

Permalink

"Yeah, pretty much. High-trust environment. I will casually hand my alts and people they vouch for enough information to accomplish ridiculous amounts of stuff because I can expect them to want the right stuff."

Permalink

"I understand how you'd end up operating that way but it does rather limit you in perspectives and in environments you can operate in. At a minimum people you trust and people you find tasteful shouldn't be the same thing."

Permalink

"Bells are not the people persons of the network so much. Maitimos are. If nobody I'd ever heard of would do for some thing, I'd get a recommendation from one of those, usually."
