Maglor wrinkles his nose. "That seems a little inefficient! Most folk do better if they enjoy their work, after all."
He has... suspicions about one of his other friends now.
"Especially if they were bad at it! It seems to be rather asking for a good deal of trouble, especially considering the scope of such tasks... "
He's sitting here, thinking about a water elemental being told to manage the night, which is not... TOO horrible but also... wouldn't he better put to use doing something water based???
(That might be the Commander of the Gap strategizing, however)
"More or less." He agrees. "The Ainur are... I suppose you could call them the builders of our world. There are others, out beyond the walls of the world, but we know only those who descended into it, to bind themselves to it that it might be their life as they are the world's. And of them, we know only who choose to show themselves to us, or who others speak of. But because they are the shapers of the world, they are truly best described as embodiments of those aspects that they shape. Manwe is Lord of the Breath of Arda, the greatest of the Valar saving only the Great Enemy, and to him to all birds of the air hold allegience. It is said that he hears all that moves upon the face of the earth, and when he works with Lord Ulmo of the Waters he brings the rain and Osse Storm-Lord delights in working with him to bring the storms. His spouse is the Lady Varda, the Star-kindler, the Lady of Light, whose stars were the first light my people saw when first our foreparents woke, long ago, and to her still do many of our people call, for her light banishes darkness, and her touch is holy, that no evil may stand before unwithered. They say that when they stand together on the top of the holy mountain in Valinor, together they see all that passes under the sky."
