Deathlessness lends itself well to games, prophecy lends itself even better. When no man can kill one, the potential for amusement is bounded only by their reserves of stubbornness and blood. There are times he allows them to strike first, times he strikes them blind, times he torments them by tormenting the helpless till they fly into entertaining rages and he cuts them down in mid-curse.

He never extends Elves or Dwarves such liberties. Those foes he disarms, even if that means granting swifter, less painful deaths than are his wont. One must be prudent, after all, even in one's games.
