Just Say It with a Gift! In Tolkien’s legendarium there is a lot of gifting happening, including in The Silmarillion. We would like to challenge you to write about gift-giving (be it material or immaterial) by your characters or perhaps to write about traditions of gift-giving amongst the people who lived during the ages represented in The Silmarillion.
Songs of Arda Music is important in The Silmarillion. This month's challenge asks authors to look at the role of music and songs in Arda. Stories and poems should focus on music, whether the casual influence of music in daily life or on a specific song on instance where music was used.
