So the stars really are jewels? [They must be, to sparkle so brightly in the sky.]

They must look beautiful up close.

Only to one such as her I think [ Maglor smiles ]

But they are, and so my people have always loved her best, who gave us such lights.

[Merlin nods. It makes sense to him, that they would love someone who brought such beauty.]

And what about the others? What did they do?

... tldr?

Well now, Lady Varda's spouse Lord Manwe had a great love of the wind and air - to him were all the birds beholden, and it was said that he could hear all that passed in distant lands. Lord Ulmo's love was water, and in water still his power lingers, though all else has drawn away from mortal lands. Lady Yavanna we called Kementari - Earth Queen, for she loves the earth and all things that grow. Her spouse is the Lord Aule, the great smith, who built the mountains and taught us how to work steel and jewels. Lord Namo is the Judge of the Dead and the Doomsman, who knows more than any of the fate of the world. His spouse is the Lady Vaire, who weaves the history of the world into her great tapestries. Lord Irmo is his brother, the Lord of Dreams, and Lady Este is his spouse, whose gift is sleep and rest. The Lady Nienna is their sister, who mourns ever for the hurts of the world. Lord Orome is a hunter, who rests not so long as evil remains in his view, and Vana the Ever-Young is his spouse. Last but not least we name Lord Tulkas, who laughs ever in play or war, and whose strength is unmatched, and the Lady Nessa who dances ever is his spouse.
