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

Fifteen people can have chips and computers and tutorials in their use and how to use them with the comm ball to send messages and look through files that are if-you-can-read-this-you-may-read-this level publicity.

"Thank you.

When I talked with Boots she was leaning towards stationing a representative here on your end for at least the duration of the transition to having everyone alive. Except the Fëanorians, who we are currently leaving dead. I earwired Celebrimbor and he's working on getting permission to leave Valinor; if that goes nowhere, as I expect it to, is there a way to get enough information to him to let him decide if he wants to be working with Vanda Nossëo?"

"Elspeth'll be in Valinor anyway to talk to your Valar. She's a very good source of information and probably won't mind stopping off to meet him before she leaves the world."

Permalink

"Thanks very much."

Permalink

"You're welcome. Need any other material objects while I'm here?"

Permalink

"...the libraries lost when Beleriand fell? 'need' is a strong word for it but -"

Permalink

"Yeah, no problem, do you want them in hard copy or on your computers?"

Permalink

"Probably hard copy so more than fifteen people have access. Unless they'll take up too much space..."

Permalink

"You'd know better than I how much space they'd take up, especially if you want them complete with architecture."

Permalink

"Most of the kingdoms fell before I was born. Computers for now, I suppose."

Permalink

So Cam makes a soft copy of the lost library contents.

Permalink

Which they will look through and meanwhile acquire space for a great lost libraries collection. "Thank you very, very much. Very much. - Númenor's, as well?"

Permalink

"Sure." Here they go.

Permalink

Well, then they'll just all cry, a bit. And thank him. And that's all. (He considers asking if Cam would like to try a ring of power, this being something Cam could obviously arrange anyway if he wanted to and useful information about their new neighbors, but it's still reckless and he does not offer.)

Permalink

"Anything else?"

Permalink

"I can't think of anything. Have a nice day."

Permalink

"You too." And he goes.

Permalink

And they read lost libraries.

Permalink

And eventually Elspeth shows up! Hi! She is Elspeth! She doesn't have to open her mouth to make this obvious!

Permalink

"Hi! Heard about you! We'd like the Valar to permit emigration, think you could wrangle it?"

Permalink

Probably! However she's not actually sure how Valar react to accumulated experiences so these might be tougher cookies than usual. She will certainly try!

Permalink

They are appreciative! Lovely meeting her.

Permalink

And where should she expect to find Celebrimbor?

Permalink

In a new Noldorin city in the south of Valinor, apparently. He doesn't know what it looks like or precisely where it is.

Permalink

Well, she supposes she can ask for directions.
