Tolkien may have been the maker of Middle-earth, but that wasn’t all he wrote. This month we encourage everyone to explore Tolkien’s other works—prompts for this challenge will come from Tolkien's non-Middle-earth works.
Please remember that we are a Silmarillion archive, and fanworks for the challenge must have a significant basis in The Silmarillion. The challenge is to create a Silmarillion fanwork using prompts from Tolkien's non-Middle-earth texts; it is not a challenge for fanworks about those texts, although crossovers remain welcome on our archive. See our FAQ on "Silmfic" for more information on how we define Silmarillion-based fanworks.
To receive a prompt for this challenge, comment here, send us an ask on Tumblr, post to the #monthly-challenges channel on our Discord, or message us through the SWG site.
In order to receive a stamp for your fanwork, your response must be posted to the archive on or before 15 May 2022. For complete challenge guidelines, see the Challenges page on our website.If you are still finishing up a challenge response for Arda On Ice, don't panic - you still have until the end of 15 April to post for the stamp!

through the wind-wreckage | in the wide heavens,
where strands of storm | among the stars wandered.
Fires were flickering, | frail tongues of gold
under hoary hills.”

If that doesn't work for you, let us know and we'll try again!
I agree on the banner! It's Dawn's work. She always has such cool ideas.

Is no light left us? A light kindle,
and fan the flame! Lo! Fire now
wakens,
Hearth is burning, house is lighted,
men there gather.”
