"Thanks."

"Do you - if there are that many differences, could our Valar even help your world -"

"Don't know. And it's possible summoning works as an immortality patch for Dwarves and humans there, still waiting on results of that, and if they re-forbade summoning that would be bad."

Permalink

" - Dwarves have an afterlife, Aulë definitely mentioned that."

Permalink

"...they don't have chips, which is how that works for Elves in Spherical Planets World, but maybe he worked something out..." Do Dwarves happen to be writing anything posthumously.

Permalink

Nope. 

Permalink

That would have been more compact, but are they doing anything else posthumously - drawing maybe -

Permalink

Yep! Dwarves on the flat planet have posthumous drawings.

"Okay yours do -" And how about spherical planet Dwarves.

Permalink

"And ours don't."

Permalink

"- I think our Aulë would help. If he could."

Permalink

"He never told us that planets should be round, though, I would have really found that useful and interesting!"

Permalink

"Possible your world has weird physics like Fairyland or Heaven."

Permalink

"I'm mostly surprised Eru did not intervene."

Permalink

"Except for appearing humans right next to some orcs midwar he didn't do anything."

They glance at each other and then shrug.

"Anything else I can clarify for you?"

Permalink

"What are you planning to do?"

Permalink

"Don't know yet. Not unilaterally up to me, anyway, is it?"

Permalink

"With all due respect, it sounds like if it isn't that's mostly as a courtesy."

Permalink

"I mean, if you really wanted to you could go out your door while I wasn't nearby and get ahold of a Vala and rely on categorically-sufficient Bar security to contain me if I attempted to retaliate, but I wasn't planning to make it an issue of who can coerce whom."

"No, I - we don't have enough information to evaluate any of this. I take it it will take a long time before we do. We'll get help from our world if you advise it, but I'd have to do Years and Years of reading to come to any kind of independent evaluation and I cannot read. Yet."

"...and it doesn't seem likely the Valar will be pleased with you, so it'd be inappropriate for other people to endanger you -"
