Huh. Well, it's not like none of his intimate relationships run on spite at the meddling gods. 

Is there anything else they'd like to ask him?

What sorts of things do humans do, when they run everything?

They pass laws. They levy taxes. They appoint judges, and carry out public works, and sometimes they make war. They build cities. They farm. They trade. They send troops to the gaping hole in the fabric of reality to keep the demons from pouring out and consuming all of civilization. They fix roads. They educate their children. They subsidize the study of magic. 

It's really very encouraging that they can do all that on their own.... except the demons thing. That one is just concerning.

Golarion kind of has a lot going on. 

Well, probably once these problems have been solved they will be charged with going and helping with the demons? Sounds important?

Yeah, probably? It's not the worst problem they have right now by any means, but when they've dealt with everything more serious fixing the worldwound should be pretty trivial.

They are not particularly good at, or inclined to, concealing that they find him very eccentric.

Félix volunteers that people find him eccentric where he comes from too. 

Oh good. They wondered if humans are just like that if they don't have Quendi to emulate.

Hmm. How do these people think Quendi and humans typically differ? 

....Quendi live forever, and probably because of that are better at everything, except they can't endure ugliness and their numbers won't grow. Quendi have telepathy. Quendi learn languages quickly. Quendi are more powerful singers. Quendi have seen the Light of Valinor, which strengthens them. 

...Quendi tend to be very unhurried about things and you can't rely on them to solve a problem as quickly as possible. Quendi offended the gods and humans don't think any humans have done that. 

Élie is confident that given the opportunity humans can offend the gods at least as effectively as any Quendi. 

....offending the gods seems bad. Otherwise the gods would be helping with the war.

In his experience, when gods want to fight other gods, nothing mortals do makes much of a difference either way. Of course, it does seem like the gods here are different from the ones at home. 

...what are the gods like, where he's from.

It varies. Some are good, some are evil, many are neither. Some of them care very much what happens on the material plane or Golarion in particular, others don't. Some of them are vast and strange and almost as old as the universe. Some of them used to be human. ...Possibly one of them used to be a rat who ascended after eating the moon, which he can't himself confirm but wouldn't exactly surprise him. 

It's hard to generalize about a group like that, and he can only speak to the subset of gods whose interventions on his home planet have been recorded in the his civilization's history, which might not be at all a representative sample. Still, he tends to think that gods are reasonably consistent in wanting the things they want. If Asmodeus is offended by his mortal followers, he'd certainly stop empowering them as clerics, and he might arrange to have them dragged into Hell, but it wouldn't make him any less opposed to the interests of Iomedae or Shelyn. 

Well, the way they understood it - and they may have misunderstood - is that the Valar would've helped, if the Quendi were obedient enough, but the Quendi weren't so the Valar mean to let them die, and the Quendi think the Valar are wrong and they can win without help.

Oh, well, if they're not that invested in what happens to the Enemy either way – does the Enemy have a name, incidentally?

Melkor? It mostly seems strange to call him by his name like a neighbor but it's Melkor.

Élie just feels strange calling him the Enemy when he's not his Enemy yet. Besides, if there's one thing the servants of Hell he's met hate, it's being called by their names like a neighbor. 

The Quendi seem unhurried about Elie's meeting with the other humans. They could stay for a few days if Elie wants. The humans, though, after a normal human length of conversation want to go rest and bathe and eat and then get back to their duties if he doesn't have more questions for them.

Élie, the accent's like so. And he doesn't wish to keep these people away from their families or their duties any longer than necessary. 

Then off they'll go, and he's back to being surrounded by Quendi, who communicate that the King will indeed arrive tomorrow to speak with him.

This will be interesting. He's never met a King before.
