I know not how I was brought to this place, for if I did I would have reversed it long ago. If it was a force that brought me here, the hand of Iluvatar himself, then the threads that weave our fates will not be altered by any phial. The dangers we may pose will not be averted by so small a thing, not if our presence here was orchestrated by a higher being.

If it were a simple accident, a twist and eddy in the currents of time, then there are far greater dangers to concern you. Of all that could be drawn from my world, I am by no means the worst, nor the most powerful.

I would assume that holds true for each of us.

I cannot see how a phylactery might abate that threat, for no power greater than myself would ever permit one to be made, by force or otherwise. If you can see this path, predict how it will end, do enlighten me. I am ever curious of how Men view this world.
