[ The message that comes across the network is abrupt, as though the sender thought about sending it and simply did with no further thought. ]

I wish to learn more of the magic of your worlds, of this world. Not only how it works but how to use it.

I can offer a trade, should you require it.


[ After a moment, there's an addendum: ]

If you do not wish to discuss such things over the lockets, dedicate a shrine to the Outsider. I will know. We will speak there.

Legolas is a dear friend, the Lady Galadriel has often guided me and Maglor is the reason I exist at all. {Distantly, that is.}

I do not resemble them. {Theirs is an otherworldly beauty.} I am one of the Dúnedain; not an Elf.

They are Men who are descended from the Númenóreans. To put it simply, they are Men with longer lifespans.

{It's more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. The Númenóreans are descended from the Houses of the Edain and Aragorn himself is actually a mixture of Elvish and Man.}

We live three times longer than normal Men. Normal Men live to be fifty or sixty, therefore we can live one-hundred and fifty or one-hundred and sixty years.

{Sure, why not?}

Ilúvatar gave Men a Gift. Mortality is that Gift. However, after the Edain loved and learned from the Eldar, their lifespans were extended. {He pauses, adding:} The Edain are the Fathers of Men - Atanatári - and the Eldar are the Elves.

Think of Ilúvatar as a god. {The supreme god.} The Edain were divided into three Houses: Bëor, Haladin and Marach or Hador. Those who continued to marry and love the Eldar gave birth to children with longer lives whilst those who kept themselves separate lived shorter lives.

My ancestor, an Elf entire, chose mortality whereas his brother chose the Gift of the Elves. {Immortality.} I was reared by said brother until I came of age.
