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

...sounds good, thanks. And I do want the Valar to fix it first, if they're willing to.

Permalink

She'll ask. If they aren't willing to there's also a psychic therapist about.

Permalink

That works too. He should talk with one of the alternate universe versions of him and get caught up, shouldn't he.

Permalink

Yeah. She'll notify his alts (the comm ball has good range, she can do that from here, attn: Findekános your new alt is reembodied and wants to talk to some of you to catch up where should he meet which of you?) and go sort out Valian emigration and talk to Celebrimbor and then come pick him up.

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"You're welcome."

She pops back to Taniquetil. Would they untamper the Findekáno? Also can people leave Valinor if they want?

Permalink

They don't know how and people shouldn't go to Endorë seeing what a disaster that was but they guess people can go to other universes if they'd like. They might not be allowed to come back.

Permalink

Well, Endorë is now void of evil Ainur fucking everything up all the time, which seems like it should help. Why would people not be allowed to come back?

Permalink

They can't assess whether they'll have become evil or been exposed to something dangerous. Some of them might turn out to be safe but it won't be a categorical guarantee.

Permalink

...do the Valar expect people to just casually become evil from wandering the multiverse, because that's never actually happened.

Permalink

It could, though! Also lots of exposure to Fëanorians could make people unsuitable to come live in Valinor. Fëanorians are in this respect contagious.

Permalink

Really, how's that work.

Permalink

They're not sure but it's definitely observable.

Permalink

They're letting Celebrimbor live in Valinor.

Permalink

He learned his lesson about being ambitious and hubristic and doesn't do those things anymore!

Permalink

...there's a world that systematically enforces a no hubris rule and it doesn't go well. In the "things that have actually ever happened" department.

Permalink

Well, they didn't enforce anything, Celebrimbor just suffered the natural consequences of his actions.

Permalink

It seems like it might still be interesting to note that a filtration mechanism they're endorsing, if enforced as policy, looks like that.

Permalink

People who will be disruptive in Valinor aren't welcome here. This seems reasonable.

Permalink

Do they have any plan to check if people who have left have somehow mysteriously become disruptive or is it just anyone who goes stays out?

Permalink

No, they'll check. They did say 'might not be allowed to come back'.

Permalink

Checking consists of?

Permalink

They don't have a plan yet! They will devise one.

Permalink

If it involves reading people's minds some people may have principled objections to that.

Permalink

Then they don't have to come back to Valinor.
