The mostali are related to the man-rune? But in ESoG it says that dwarfs are
not descended from Grandfather Mortal. Have I been incorrect in assuming that
that means they are not related to the man-rune? If they are related to it,
then how come they don't age? Then again now that I think about it, the
Brithini must be related to the man rune and they don't age. Perhaps
death by age is a result of a relationship to the beast (or in the case of
elves, the plant) rune. But then what about that story about all mortals
having to die because Grandfather Mortal died?
