Quote Prompt
“In Beleriand in those days the Elves walked, and the rivers flowed, and the stars shone, and the night-flowers gave forth their scents; and the beauty of Melian was as the noon, and the beauty of Lúthien was as the dawn in spring.”
Summary Prompt
We learn now of the peoples in Middle-earth, and of the Elves who did not make the journey. Information about the Dwarves and their whereabouts and dealings is present in this chapter as well. Just as progress was being made in Valinor by the Elves there, writing systems, weaponry, and governance, among other things, have been evolving in Middle-earth.
Thematic Prompt
Many times, there is a calm before the storm. In today’s creation, use this thought of a time of calm, peace, merriment, or prosperity as your inspiration.

Each day, three prompts will be offered. These are influenced by the story The Silmarillion. The first prompt will be a direct quote from the book, the second will be a micro tidbit from that particular section, and the third will be a more generalized prompt inspired by the happenings, but meant to allow for creations outside of the realm of The Silmarillion.
