"You're my mother in law. You have a right to know who married your son."
Not that she's not incredibly impressed by that. Talk about a great mother; trusting her son's judgement, and just happy that he's happy. Nerdanel is saintly. Do they give mother of the year awards here?
"It's common knowledge that I am not of Arda. Eru had no hand in my existence. Whether he knows about the multiverse or not, we can't say, but it's very safe to assume he's given me permission to be here, in his part of it. Though I can't, for the life of me, quite understand that. You'd think my presence would raise a great many questions. But I digress.
I'm from a world that has many God's. Not all of them very good. Often they don't get along. Ao is their overgod, what Eru is to Arda. At least, as far as we know. And one day he grew tired of the pettiness of the lesser deities and cast then down to the mortal plane, to walk among the mortals.
It royally messed everything up, to say the least. And in my opinion, was worse than anything the lesser gods had gotten up to prior. But no one listens to me. Not that it matters, I was still practically a toddler at the time.
But one of these gods foresaw this, and know that when he would be made mortal, he would be slain. So before it came to pass, he walked among mortals, and sired a score of children. In them he placed his essence, pieces of his divine spirit, so that when they died, his power and life would be returned to him, and he would revive.
His name was Bhaal. His portfolio was unnatural death, his favorite being murder. It earned him the title Lord of Murder. Charming, right? And I'm one of his children."
There's so much more, but that's already a lot of information. She ought to let Nerdanel take it in.
