    This assertion is non-canonical.

    Quite the opposite. This assertion is non-canonical. And even if it was (and it is not), just because other gods can see does not automatically mean Dvalin is not prevented from watching the deliberations by his very nature of what he, specifically, is the demigod of.

    My assumptions fit the canon. My assumptions are not in the service of claiming the canon to be stupid. Therefore, my assumptions are perfectly fine when explaining canon.

    No, you didn't. You simply said they weren't, but you didn't actually show it to be the case. In fact, canon is quite clear that there is significant loopholes in the rules, and therefore seems likely some are intentional.

    No, I didn't. I mixed canonical facts with extracanonical assumptions that explain supposed plotholes. The difference between us is that you use you non-canonical assumptions to claim the canon is stupid, while I use them to explain why they are not. And also you seem to be under the misapprehension that "vampires are not dwarves" and "Dvalin can see what their priest in the chamber sees" and "if Thor knew, Dvalin knew" are canonical, when they are not.

    There is a world of imagination
    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
