  i feel like the immortality might be an
accidental side effect, ymmv? anyway was it you who suggested the
eregion elves might have got time magic ideas from the dwarves, i liked
that                    

actually i’m pretty sure that was gogol! and she then wrote that great ficlet abt the dwarf liquor with the time-warping effect. but yeah accidental is also a thing i can definitely see, i think the one thing that kind of gives me pause about the accidental thing is more that it’s a little….convenient? like, lol, humans really want to be immortal! sauron gives them a really shitty way to be immortal! but otoh it makes a lot of sense that sauron never intended the rings to be used by non-elves at all, re: how they were a dud when he tried to use them on the dwarves and his aim being described as ‘oh he wanted to control the elves’ etc so i think the immortality thing being more just, a natural byproduct of ‘things meant for elves’ makes a lot of sense too. anyway i am quite certain you have thought this stuff through more than i have >_o
