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."

"Probably not, but there might have been some way to chip them cryptographically securely so they could have the mental immunity thing and also the local standard of immortality maybe? If you're gonna do it do it right."

"Have we figured out secure chips? Seems like it'd be really useful-"

"Haven't, might be they're impossible and Space Aulë's off the hook."

"If ten of my father haven't got anywhere - then again I guess they've had other priorities-"

"I think they're currently concentrating on portalmaking."

"Guess that's useful. I wonder what my mother'll do - she has a lot of anxiety about not having anything to uniquely offer the world -"

"Artifact-eclipse interactions probably? She's also the only one to make four Silmarils, it's usually three."

"Oh, good, in that case she'll be quite smug."

"And that should hold her long enough for her to come out with revolutionary magical psionic tech advances or something."

"None of those while I was out?"

"Well, I did avert a spectacular explosion but nothing useful yet."

"Oh no, what happened-"

"Nothing happened! She checked with me before she turned it on! And would have suffered only moderate burns easily mage-fixed!"
