"You could try Varda. I can name the others if it's not too costly to retry or might have different results with different targets. Or my husband can contact them if it might be useful to aim for someone more closely connected to me personally since I'm here, I don't know how this works."

"Contacting your husband would be safer, contacting deities has some risk of overwhelming the caster and causing brain damage. We can try that first, and try the deities if that doesn't work."

"Ah. They've learned to be less overwhelming over time but perhaps it won't affect this channel. My husband's name is Rúmil."

"Abadar's quite personable but if you contact him through Contact Other Planes you still run the same risk of backlash. Is the name uniquely identifying?"

"I believe it is unique as a mononym, but some other Quendi may have it as one of two names and I can't guarantee that given all the orcs and Dwarves there are that none of them have it. Are there other helpful characteristics -?"

"Family name or anything?"

"Apart from the Noldo royal family's habit of sticking 'fin' into the name of Finwë's every descendant, that's not a custom of Quendi. I can give his parents' names? I'm also confident my full name is unique if that helps."

"Parents' names should work."

She provides her in-laws' names.

He says something to an attendant. 

"We'll keep you informed on their progress."

"Thank you."

"In the meantime perhaps you can tell us more about your world. What's it like?"

"Some of this I've already been over with your father - it was created by an entity called Eru, who at the time was omnipotent and omniscient. He made the Valar and their lesser cousins the Maiar, assigned them tasks, and proceeded to do very little while they did astroengineering and terraforming projects over millions of years. One of the Valar, Melkor, is evil, and noticed before the rest that there were Quendi that Eru had placed on Endorë, the planet where I was born. He did assorted evil things, the details of which I do not know to be of interest apart from that there thus resulted the orc species. Another Vala, Oromë, visited Endorë for approximately recreational purposes and encountered Elves, some of whom agreed to visit Valinor, the planet where I live now. They confirmed for the rest of us that it was nice and some of us moved there, while others stayed behind; the Valar fought Melkor and tried and imprisoned him and everyone else got on with our lives. The Vala Aulë invented and implemented the Dwarf species, on Endorë, and Eru agreed to wake them up. It eventually became clear that Eru was not as he'd presented himself an omnibenevolent deity with very good reasons for having permitted Melkor and made various other peculiar decisions but was instead using all the people in the universe as toys to act out dramas of his omniscient devising with more verisimilitude than fiction. We were annoyed. He agreed to carve out bits of his powerset and stop steering in that way and everything's been pretty lovely since. I'm eliding a lot of detail, I'm not sure exactly what will be most immediately relevant."

He blinks at her like he's trying to put something together. Shakes his head, very slightly. 

"What about this place stands out - aside from the swords?"

"...different architectural standards for palaces. Magic that incarnates can do, as opposed to just Ainur. Various minor cultural assumptions but I can't guarantee some of them aren't artifacts of the translation effect. The species you all are, of course. And a peculiar and inexplicable mapping between your family and the Noldo royal family in vague name similarities and approximate personality - I noticed your father first but it sounds like it doesn't stop there."

"- we'd love to hear more about the Noldo royal family."

"The king is called Finwë; he's been the king of the Noldor on Valinor since convincing us to move there from Endorë - there are also two other Quendi tribes living on the planet with their own kings. I'm a friend of the family; my husband is one of Finwë's advisors. Finwë has two wives, Miriel, Fëanáro's mother, and Indis, sister to the Vanya king Ingwë, whose children are called Findis, Nolofinwë, Irimë, and Arafinwë. Fëanáro has seven -" she lists those too - "and two grandchildren Notellë and Aratarya from Maitimo and his husband Findekáno, and a grandson Tyelperinquar from Curufinwë and his wife -" She can go on elaborating on family trees as long as the pharaoh seems interested, though she's watching for reactions all around to "his husband".

He seems fascinated. He seems utterly unsurprised by 'his husband', as does his father and the attendants. "Who are the children by?"

"A Maia friend of theirs named Ardilorë carried them but didn't contribute to the children's - does 'genetics' translate? The phenomenon that makes family members resemble each other. There's a Maia who's managed to do a sufficiently high-fidelity body to actually reproduce but Ardilorë isn't she."

"- so the children are related by blood to his husband?"

"Yes. Ardilorë brags about it insufferably, he says it was very difficult."

"I bet!" Regretful sigh. "We don't have that here. Nor do I have any wives who'd be delighted to do it, I don't expect."

"Well, maybe you'll be able to borrow Ardilorë, depending on the results of the contact attempt."

"That'd be - we'd have to ask Abadar. But perhaps. Thank you."

"You're welcome."
