(Celebrimbor is perched on a rocky outcropping, a sketchpad on his lap and his dark head bent in intense concentration. One of his hands is moving deftly over the page, his silver gaze darting towards the higher points of the city.)

Do you think a world - a civilization - could be swallowed whole? (He tarries over one of the spires, so bent, so bowed.) The more I see of our fair city, the more I am convinced it has a life and a pulse. There is no material that retains memory half as well as rock and earth.

(Leaving him to wonder how the caverns began.)

How many emotions would you feel if you were trapped within the maw of some ancient creature?

Perhaps all worlds start off from the same place, only branching off as their creators see fit. [Or maybe these two are the same because one was a deliberate perspective flip on the other. Ushahin takes note. There is no record of what came before the first god. And the names, Eru and Uru-Alat, so similar sounding.] Could it be there was a singular being that had created both worlds, one merely a dark reflection on the other?

The Were have more of that sort of nature to them. They are beings close to the earth, compassionate, and wise, though their appearance led many to regard them as monsters.
