B2MeM Challenge: Quest
“He spoke then in a great voice the Oath of Eorl. This he said in the tongue of the Éothéod, which in the Common Speech is interpreted:
Hear now all peoples who bow not to the Shadow in the East, by the gift of the Lord of the Mundburg we will come to dwell in the land that he names Calenardhon, and therefore I vow in my own name and on behalf of the Éothéod of the North that between us and the Great People of the West there shall be friendship for ever: their enemies shall be our enemies, their need shall be our need, and whatsoever evil, or threat, or assault may come upon them we will aid them to the utmost end of our strength. This vow shall descend to my heirs, all such as may come after me in our new land, and let them keep it in faith unbroken, lest the Shadow fall upon them and they become accursed."

B2MeM 2013: Wildcard Day

[dawn_felagund]

I have crossed many mountains and many rivers, and trodden many plains, even into the far countries of Rhûn and Harad where the stars are strange.

Throughout the month, we will offer weekly wildcard days, days when there are no new prompts but instead a simple, Tolkien-related task, for those who wish to participate. We hope wildcard days will give you a chance to refresh your muses, read, catch up on your WiPs, and breathe! :)

Our fourth and penultimate wildcard day task: Go where the stars are strange.

We all have our favorites, our stories, characters, and sources that are both comfortable and familiar: the character whose name alone will make us click on a story, the authors whom we read everything they write, the chapters and books most dog-eared and worn from use. For today’s wildcard task, however, we challenge you to wander outside this comfort zone and try something new.

You might try reading a story about a character you don’t normally like, or check out an essay or a story about a topic you know very little about. Venture outside the time period you usually read and write about, or read a chapter or essay in one of Tolkien’s books that you’ve never read before. Explore the work of a new author or artist. Learn something new, try something different, journey someplace unfamiliar--as always, you decide what counts for this challenge, and we encourage you to be creative. If you want to share what you've done for today's challenge, feel free to leave a comment on this post.

Therefore when they beheld them, the more did they love them, being things other than themselves, strange and free, wherein they saw the mind of Ilúvatar reflected anew, and learned yet a little more of his wisdom …
