What an interesting choice of Aulë's.

Pop.

Oh look, Dwarves. Most of my alts like Aulë best on the basis of his design choices. I'd go with Ulmo but most Ulmos have fewer instances of making themselves useful than ours.

What do they do in the standard trajectory?

Not that much. They do hide a city, which is useful as long as it lasts.

What a stupid pointless waste of life -

Yeah.

Any Ardas far enough for those prophecies Melkor gave you -

Farthest ahead one is Millennia so far. And yeah, the ones verifiable as of then are verified.

I wonder why tell the truth on that. 

Trajectory of Space Arda suggests that while Melkors are intensely sadistically evil they do more highly prioritize derailing things qua derailing things if offered a choice.

...I don't know how to feel about that.

Me either, to be honest.

And Saurons?

Cooperated with the Melkor in Space Arda but not independently known to have such mixed character.

Good, then I can go on childishly considering her uncomplicatedly horrible.

Go for it, I sure do.

She reaches for her hand. The Dwarf city is very pretty. There is no apparent repetition in the architecture.

Handholding! Dwarves!

Dwarves mostly ignore them! Elves are so weird! Or humans, whatever, those are also pretty weird! A Dwarf fairy floats by arguing heatedly with someone.

"You read the full explanation of daeva yet?"

"I know who is one but not how they get that way."

"Dying - more than Space Elves ever do - while from a world adjacent to the daeva worlds and having summoned at least one before. Flat Dwarves have a proper afterlife, Space ones don't."

"- why didn't Space Aulë -"

"Space Arda's lower magic than Flat Ardas, seems likely he couldn't. Why he made Dwarves here anyway is an exercise to the reader, we're not on good terms with Space Valar."

"Right, guess not. ...I mean, I doubt Dwarves resent being made, even mortal."
