"Dwarves are great. Aulë has if nothing else good taste in designed species. It makes me wonder how much of the standards they held us to in Valinor they didn't even believe in themselves."

"How do they make group decisions?"

"They'd have debates but then claim decisions, once made, as unanimous."

"...huh."

"Valinor was all right for a certain kind of person. If they'd let people leave, and given them a viable way to do that, then it'd have just ended up collecting the people who didn't mind it and everything would have been fine."

Nod.

Someone comes in with the compiled lists. The King hands them to Cor.

Aaaaand are they legible?

Yep, looks like Curufin wrote them out. Very neatly. The Valar have this much attention and form physical bodies like this and can be harmed like this and interact in these ways; Melkor's history is as follows, things Valar have been seen to do are all of the following, known limitations are these, Melkor is in approximately this location and leaves this often and uses his magic ongoingly in these ways...

"This is great, thanks."

"Of course. It seems we got very lucky in interdimensional visitors."

"I like to think if someone needs to land unexpectedly on a place I'm a good one."

"I know a lot of people. I can't think of any I'd send off in your stead if unexpectedly landing was anticipated."

"I'm flattered!"

"Keep yourself alive and you can do it again for some more places!"

"I'm looking forward to that. Corbelan, serial worldsaver."

"My brother is gleeful in anticipation of finding magic somewhere that speeds up the development process for our magic. These look like very exciting times."

"It's going to be great!"

"I can make 'worldsaver' an official imperial title!"

"Oooh."

"I should check first that I won't be inspiring anyone to go save worlds which don't require it. It's a risk, if you get too excitable with imperial titles."

"I can see how that would be a problem."

"When we started issuing titles for major improvements to productivity or resource use or health and wellness, Dwarves asked me if these were transferrable; they wanted to sell them."

"I feel like that would make them less valuable."

"That's what I said! What's the use of a category for 'people whose research saved hundreds of thousands of lives and people who bought something from one of them!'"
