You might start to find yourself crowded into smaller and smaller chunks of that hour by the necessity of the target Elf processing the data dump.

It still grants quadratic conversation time for linear precog time, with a high constant factor.

However, it also requires a cooperative elf, because not all Elves will continue a precognition conversation and if anything can get you to say “I’m a precognition aren’t I” it’s that.

Patalon itself is a protectorate of Mîr; presumably the map should reflect that?

If the problem is processing and sending power, perhaps transmitting it through an Elspeth?

How do Maitimos pre–Melkor release, Maedhroses post-Angbard, Findekános pre–Melkor release, and Fingons post-Angbard feel about the torture vs dust specs question? Are there any other interesting points, such as an End Of All Things–era Matt, or a version who actually believes they’re out (with or without free will)?

Can I just point out re: the unfallen Melkor thing above, that a Melkor cooperating with the plan and a Manwe not doesn't necessarily mean the Melkor isn't evil? The plan sucks.

Island on the dwarven afterlife wrote:"I popped over to check ours out. No moon, exceptionally pretty, resources for them to eventually get to space travel and come back to Arda. Aulë did well with the species design."
Now I am imagining Space!Dwarves showing up in At the End of All Things continuities. Dwarven first contact! Or, more realistically for glowfic, the Feanorians making it to Venus only to find the Dwarves got there first and took the Silmaril (which is theirs by right since Thingol never paid them for their work with the Nauglamir...)!

I'd really rather not.

It would either need another color or some weird overlap thing which probably isn’t worth it. Maybe it would be easy enough to say “Mir protectorate” the same way others say “Earth” or “Arda”, but even that probably isn’t worth it unless the nonmagical plants acquire a moon and start eclipsing.
