Quote Prompt
“...and he [Feanor} asked the aid and sought the counsel of none that dwelt in Aman, great or small, save only and for a little while of Nerdanel the wise, his wife.”
Summary Prompt
This is the chapter where we learn of the circumstances that followed the birth of Feanor, including the decisions made by both Miriel and Finwe. We also see the pardoning of Melkor by his brother, Manwe, but that he is essentially on parole in Valinor.
Thematic Prompt
When Miriel went to the gardens of Lorien, it seemed to others that she was just sleeping, when in fact her spirit had left her body. Consider the idea of someone being perceived as doing one thing when something else entirely is going on, and use this as your inspiration for 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.
