The Valar announce that they've done as much as they can in Singularity (they can't bring back peoples' babies in that critical period either, but they can get them earlier versions) and are setting up portals between there and Sanity as soon as they are confident they've cleaned up the plague. A bunch of Elf architects have this wild idea for a fivedimensional city where alternating intersections are interdimensional portals between various Valinors and they get eagerly to setting it up.

It seems like they'd create drag but he's the expert!
People want to know more stuff about other worlds.
He makes models! This is Godspring, a globe in his hands, about a billion people, "they don't have electricity yet but they have things for navigating the oceans, they might've gotten there in the next century - they have magic. It's why the world's called that." And the different kinds of mages and how they work - "I know a couple of redmages who went to live with the Elves, and the Elves have access to a goldmage so if something went catastrophically wrong they could get a warning in advance -" - this is Sanity's Valinor, rechristened Eldalië as the interdimensional Elven capital - this is Sanity's Endorë, this is Singularity's replacement Valinor after the war -
"Oh, we've just been nicknaming them because there's a bunch of them and Sanity didn't have a war when a lot of the Elven worlds did."
"The Elves have gods. They're called the Valar, and they're - well, they're gods, they made their worlds really nice for everyone, but they don't think like people and they don't understand everything we understand. In Sanity they were unusually good at explaining and so their Valar have better judgment and they didn't parole Melkor when most of the Elf worlds did."

His viewership wants more detail. Also where does he get this information?
"Make stuff for the Elves in exchange for hanging around with them and learning about the multiverse." And he gives a history of Melkors and what they do and how they get three thousand years in jail for this and then usually are paroled and do it again -
"Yeah, they're keeping an eye on all the Elf worlds they can now so it doesn't ever happen again. In Singularity it happened but now he has been stopped. They are debating whether to execute him."

Revelation hasn't had the death penalty for a while. Some commenters think Melkor is an exception.
"Yeah, the Elves don't have it either. But if you were going to have an exception Melkor seems like a reasonable one to have."
" - they're mostly named in Quenya by Elves, I'm just loosely translating. Singularity is the only Arda that got summoning before the war but not in time to avert the war. A planet got holed during the war. The Valar put it back and everyone's alive again, but that's why it's called that."
"Had a fight with the Elves over him. Elves won because they live forever. There was a war crimes trial, a couple of my brothers attended."
"Uh, no, he got four hundred years. You wouldn't need to worry about him anyway unless you'd covered the surface of a planet with servers torturing people."
People who are interested in Singularity's war can read the trial transcripts, they're all public record.
" - uh, if you're not a demon it might be easiest to ask one, or the GCP observers presumably have something. And there's also translation - I'll ask the Elves if I can translate it and just link it from here."
