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.
