Zero, one, and infinity are numbers, four hundred ninety three million, six hundred twenty two thousand and four just doesn't make sense.

It's also ~1000 times less than the numbers of stars in the Milky Way, but ~100,000 times more then the numbers of stars visible in the night sky, though I guess elves have better vision and can see more than that.

Also, I'm totally imagining Eru voiced by Dave Foley as Yes Man, now. Getting the same kind of "cheerful but with a totally alien structure of thought" vibe.

Well sure, if you start with assumption 1, of course there must be something good like beauty offsetting all the bad..

I think Erudoesn’t know those things.

Yes, exactly. I thought the same thing with Milliways doing it. And one can be problematic in a multiverse where things keep being copied and put into reach of those who in principle can’t get there directly.

Why is Kandrona still marked with an infinity symbol on the Silmaril continuity index?

Ooh, un-Announced new Silmaril with a new Bell!

With a magic system which if it worked slightly differently would be almost as horrifying as Materia.

Yes, thank you. That's how I knew about it.

I capitalized Announced to go with the Announcements section of the board. It was Reported, not Announced.
