B2MeM Challenge:
D: Like a very dirty dragon
Between Mindeb and the upper waters of Esgalduin lay the no-land of Nan Dungortheb; and that region was filled with fear, for upon its one side the power of Melian fenced the north march of Doriath, but upon the other side the sheer precipices of Ered Gorgoroth, Mountains of Terror, fell down from high Dorthonion. Thither, as was earlier told, Ungoliant had fled from the whips of the Balrogs, and there she dwelt a while, filling the ravines with her deadly gloom, and there still, when she had passed away, her foul offspring lurked and wove their evil nets; and the thin waters that spilled from Ered Gorgoroth were defiled, and perilous to drink, for the hearts of those that tasted them were filled with shadows of madness and despair.

o67: intercultural relations – Forth Eorlingas

Format: Ficlet
Genre: Family/Humor
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mention of giant spiders and childbirth
Characters: Éowyn, Elboron, OCs
Pairings: Éowyn/Faramir
Summary: A quarter-century after the fall of Sauron, Éowyn and Faramir have welcomed their newest child at the court of Rohan. Aragorn, Arwen and their children have joined them there in time for the birth. But will tripling the amount of royal offspring in the schoolroom while the Princess of Ithilien labours go well? I disclaim "Nob O'The Lea" and dedicate this story to Dreamflower and to Virtuella, for whom I wrote "A Conversation on Family", the last time this visit to Rohan was mentioned. (Knowledge of that story isn't required to enjoy this one.)
Author's Note: Family trees:
Aragorn/Arwen: Celebriel (age 21), Eldarion (age 16), Gilraen (age 7)
Faramir/Eowyn: Merilosse (age 21), Elboron (age 15), Finduilas (age 9)
Eomer/Lothiriel: Elfwine (age 17), Eomund and Theodwyn (age 13), Morwen (age 7)

Fourth Age 26, Rohan (early spring)

March 10 Prompts

[dawn_felagund]

Here are today’s prompts:

• 2006 -- In the "Tale of the Years" Tolkien tells us about what happens to certain characters each day of March 3019. We challenge you to write about the character(s) he does NOT mention: “The Dawnless Day. The Muster of Rohan: the Rohirrim rider from Harrowdale. Faramir rescued by Gandalf outside the gates of the City. Aragorn crosses Ringló. An army from the Morannon takes Cair Andros and passes into Anórien. Frodo passes the Cross Roads, and see the Morgul-host set forth."


• 2007 (t_n_b) -- J: Like juggling the jewels of Fëanor


• 2007 (SWG) -- But the Elves also had part in that labour, and Elves and Dwarves together, each with their own skill, there wrought out the visions of Melian, images of the wonder and beauty of Valinor beyond the Sea. The pillars of Menegroth were hewn in the likeness of the beeches of Oromë, stock, bough, and leaf, and they were lit with lanterns of gold. The nightingales sang there as in the gardens of Lórien; and there were fountains of silver, and basins of marble, and floors of many-coloured stones. Carven figures of beasts and birds there ran upon the walls, or climbed upon the pillars, or peered among the branches entwined with many flowers. And as the years passed Melian and her maidens filled the halls with woven hangings wherein could be read the deeds of the Valar, and many things that had befallen in Arda since its beginning, and shadows of things that were yet to be. That was the fairest dwelling of any king that has ever been east of the Sea.


• 2009 -- "Traveling is a fool's paradise. We owe to our first journeys the discovery that place is nothing." -Ralph Waldo Emerson. Write a story, poem or create an artwork that proves or disproves this quote.


• 2011 -- Start a story or poem with Charles Dickens' famous opening line from A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." (If you're creating a piece of artwork for this challenge, use this line as your theme or title.)


• 2012 -- B7
