Because this is a chart, prompts will be based around what the diagram shows without quoted prompts.
The Sundering of the Elves explains how the Quendi came to scatter across Arda; Elwë, Olwë, and Elmo are three brothers demonstrating this. The theme of family being separated for a long period of time, perhaps even forever, is a topic which could be explored as your prompt.
Those who completed the journey with Olwe were called Lindar (for they were Singers) but by the Tatyai, or Noldor, they were called the Teleri, the Lastcomers for they tarried in searching for Elwe. Sometimes, a person has every intention of arriving on time, but ends up arriving late or at the end (except wizards; they are of course, never late). Allow your inspiration to come from someone or a group whose arrival is later than xpected.
The Avari are labeled as “the unwilling”, but what if they knew or figured out something the others did not? You can either focus your creation on the Avari (and perhaps their motives), or on the general idea of someone who refuses to do something despite it being something many others plan to do.
Bonus prompt from Donut: Teleri are fish friends and swan friends. Incorporate fish or swans into your creation.

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.
